Sow the seeds thinly in drills, 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep. The per- manent bed should be trenched very deeply and well manured with rich, thoroughly decayed manure. Wide drills should then be made, 3 feet apart, and deep enough to admit of the top of the plants being covered 6 inches. Set the plants one or two years old 1 foot apart in the rows, carefully spreading out and separating the roots. For Sn the sake of convenience one drill should be made at a time, and the planting and cov- ae eee ering completed before another is commenced. In November the plants should have their annual top-dressing of manure after the stalks have been cleared away. The Large Globe or Paris Artichoke dressing should be forked in as soon as the ground can be worked in spring, and the bed neatly raked. One ounce of seed sows 60 feet of drill; 5 pounds, one acre.

The seed should be a mixture of hardy, dwarf grasses, free from seeds of weeds, and for light soils, a little white clover should be added, say one-half pound to the bushel. The seed should be broadeast evenly, lightly raked in, and the ground rolled to make the surface firm. Perhaps the best time of the year to sow a new lawn is September; the natural seeds of weeds which are present in every soil do not start then, and the grass gets a season’s growth in advance of the weeds. The next best time is in early spring, the earlier the better, so that the grass may get as much growth as possible before the weeds interfere. The care of a lawn is also important. It should be cut regularly, otherwise the coarser grasses will grow up and choke out the finer sorts, destroying the smooth, velvety surface so much desired. It should be regularly top-dressed with good commercial lawn fertilizer, fine-ground bone, unleached wood-ashes, etc. Lawn dressings com- posed entirely of chemicals should be used cautiously and applied only when the grass is dry. Barnyard manure should not be used to top-dress lawns if other material is available. It usually contains seeds of noxious weeds from the hay, which are difficult to exter- minate. Every spring the lawn should be raked with a steel rake, which will take out dead grass and scratch the ground somewhat. A little lawn grass seed should be scattered over bare or thin spots and the surface rolled even and firm. FARQUHAR’S EVERGREEN LAWN CRASS A mixture of the finest American and European grasses adapted to lawn-making. The formula for this mixture is the result of a life- time of practical experience in making and maintaining lawns. Neither pains nor expense are spared in obtaining grasses of high vitality and purity. It is our constant aim to make Farquhar’s Evergreen Lawn Grass the best, purest, and most permanent lawn grass sold. For the formation of new lawns, sow not less than 80 to 100 pounds per acre. One pound will sow a plot 20 by 20 feet or 400 square feet. For renovating existing turf, use one-half of this quantity. (Bus. 25 lbs.). é Lb. 70 cts.; 5 Ibs. $3.25; 10 Ibs. $6.25; 100 Ibs. $60.00.

FARQUHAR’S RELIABLE GRASS SEEDS 39 Farquhar’s Reliable Grass Seeds, continued PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET FLUCTUATIONS Farquhar’s Grasses for Permanent Hay Crops and Pastures These contain only the most suitable Grasses, the proportionate quantity of each being regulated by soil, situation, and purpose for which desired. The object to be attained is a constant, successive growth of rich pasturage from spring until fall. It is a well-established fact that fields sown with a variety of different Grasses which are adapted to the soil, and which attain perfection in successive months from April to September, produce very much larger and more satisfactory crops, both for hay and pasturage, than when only one or two kinds of Grasses or Clovers are sown. The good results obtained from our Special Grass Seed Mixtures are demonstrated by the con- stantly increasing demand for them. Fall seeding is preferable, but spring sowing will be successful if done early, while the land is cool and moist. In addition to the Grasses, we advise sowing 10 pounds of Mixed Clover seed per acre. Clover seed should be sown sepa- rately, as it is heavier than Grass seed and settles to the bottom when mixed with it; in consequence, is likely to be sown unevenly. Clovers in their young state are tender in our climate and should be sown in spring. It is unprofitable to waste Grass and Clover seed on a soil which is seriously lacking in fertility. The ideal procedure i is to build the soil up to a satisfactory state of fertility by manuring, liming if necessary, fertilizing and a few seasons of tillage, so that specific fer- tilization of the hay crop at the time of seeding will be unnecessary. The hay crop is particularly well adapted to use residual plant- food left in the soil from previous applications to other crops. Where the above preparation is not practicable it is well to apply Bradley’s Grass and Lawn Top-Dressing at the rate of about 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per acre, harrowing it in several days before planting the seed. If the soil is acid, as most Massachusetts soils are, it needs liming. It makes no particular difference when the lime is applied. The essential thing is to apply at least 2 tons to the acre of finely ground limestone, or a chemically equivalent amount of land lime and harrow it in very thoroughly. The mineral plant-food requirements of several crops of hay may be supplied by applying, before seeding down, 200 to 400 pounds per acre of acid phosphate or bone-meal and 100 pounds per acre of sulphate or muriate of potash. In case the soil has been well manured the potash may be omitted. Pastures sown with these Permanent Mixtures should last indefinitely if given a frequent top-dréssing of manure or fertilizer, maintaining their cropping qualities throughout the entire season Farquhar’s Special Mixtures for Farquhar’s Special Mixtures for Permanent Hay Crops Permanent Pastures No. 1.

This an- nual Clover thrives best on warm, loose, sandy soil. It is principally used for soiling or green-manuring, for which pur- pose it is highly valuable. If desired for feed, cut it just before it flowers. A rapid-growing, nitrogen-storing plant, and as such it is invaluable for growing in orchards to plow under. To obtain the maximum results in New England, it should be able for both pasturage or soiling. Lb. 40c.; 10 lbs. $3.75; 100 Ibs. $35.00. | sown early in May and turned under in the fall when mature.

It will grow on any soil, but is especially adapted to low meadows where the surface soil is mellow and rich. Sweet and nutritious. Bees that feed on White Clover produce the finest quality honey. Being small-seeded, 10 pounds per acre is sufficient if sown alone. This is the only Clover to use on lawns as it makes a very dwarf, compact growth. Lb. 60c.; 10 Ibs. $5.75; 100 lbs. $55.00.

MILLETS — Nothing on the market is as well adapted to cover up shortages in hay crops as are the Millets, for they yield quick pasturage on almost any soil. They are rank feeders, however, and do best on a fertile, mellow soil which has had a liberal application of barnyard manure. Sow in June or July, broadcast, 1 to 11% bushels of seed per acre, or drill 14 bushel. Cut (if for hay) as soon as the heads are formed. Millet, Hungarian (Panicum hungariensis). An annual forage plant which germinates readily and withstands drought. If cut early, makes an excellent hay, often yielding.two to three tons per acre. Sow from June to August, using about 114 bushels to the acre. Bus. (48 Ibs.) $5.00. Millet, Golden (Panicum germanicum). An improved variety, grow- ing from 3 to 5 feet high.

This variety is particularly adapted to the Northern States, making a quick growth and forming one of the best crops for fodder or ensilage. It frequently attains a height of 6 to 8 feet, with numer- ous side shoots and yielding from ten to fifteen tons of green fodder per acre. For dried fodder, it should be cut as soon as the heads have formed. It is relished by stock, and cows fed on it invariably increase in milk. If sown broadcast it requires from 15 to 20 pounds per acre; in drills 10 to 15 pounds to the acre. A bushel weighs 35 pounds.

A judicious selection and change can easily be obtained at moderate prices. Welcome. This is now a well-known and extensively grown Oat, and is one of the heaviest, handsomest, and most productive white varieties grown. It stools heavily, with extra-strong, straight straw, standing well. Succeeds well in a wide range of climate, and under a great variety of soils and methods of culture. Sow 214 to 3 bushels per acre. Bus. (32 Ibs.) $1.75; 10 bus. $16.50; 20 bus. $32.00. Swedish Select. A very prolific.and early variety, yielding enormous crops of fine, heavy grain. The straw is long and strong and is considered one of the most nutritious for green fodder. Bus. (32 Ibs.) $2.00; 10 bus. $17.50. PEAS, Field Canada White. (For fodder and green manuring.) The White Canada Field Pea is the best variety for general cul- tivation and affords a most profitable crop for fattening stock. It has been grown by dairymen with very satis- factory results, following winter rye, which was cut green in June for dairy cows, then stubble turned under and sown with mixed Peas and oats, thus furnishing a large amount of forage in August, when grass pastures are usually short. Sow 3 bushels to the acre; if with oats 2 bushels. Pk. $1.75; bus. (60 lbs.) $6.00; 10 bus. $58.00. Cowpeas, Whip-Poor-Will. (For fodder or soiling.) A valu- able and nutritious green forage or hay crop. Enriches poor land; improves good land. One of the best and cheapest ways of improving soil is the plowing under of leguminous crops. Cowpeas have been found superior for this purpose, especially on medium or light soils. Like clover, they absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere, the roots reach deep into the soil and bring up the necessary potash, thus making a com- plete and natural fertilizer. For fertilizing purposes, Cow- peas are superior to Clover from the fact that the foliage is greater, besides making full growth in from three to four months. Sow as early as May 10 or as late as July, 1 bushel to the acre in drills; 214 bushels to the acre broadcast. Pk. $1.75; bus. (60 lbs.) $6.00; 10 bus. $58.00. RAPE Dwarf Essex. A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the United States, and of great value for sheep and lambs. It is often sown broadcast, about 5 pounds to the acre, but will yield much better if drilled about 3 pounds to the acre, in rows 22 inches apart, and cultivated until the plants are well developed. It may be sown in May, but preferably in June or July. Lb. 20c.; 100 lbs. $16.00. RYE Spring. Sow asa “catch” crop where winter grain has failed.

Farge digas Flower Seeds We mail ail lowes Seeds postpaid to any post office in the United States Bs fel alll “a x Our Flower Seeds have a national reputation for fine quality, and we Eapply many large estates and public parks throughout the counts y wach their annual requirements. It is our constant aim to add any new variety of merit, and many improved sorts are offered in this catalogue. The plants in the following list all bloom the first season from seeds. Many which are not annuals in the botanical sense are included because they bloom the first season, and in culture and for garden purposes may be treated as annuals. The Annuais include a large portion of our most brilliantly colored summer flowers and are equally valuable to professional and amateur gardeners. Few cultivators realize the vast possibilities they afford at a minimum cost. They furnish ample material for cut- flowers and garden beds, either in masses of color or for foliage effects. A few of them, like Asters, Poppies, Sweet Peas, and Nasturtiums, are well known and largely used, but there are many beautiful species in the following list which would be appreciated were they known. Cuuture. Ordinarily, excellent success may be had by sowing all Annuals in the beds where they are to flower. The hardier varieties, such as Calendulas, Larkspurs, Centaureas, Poppies, and the like, may be sown quite as early as the ground can be cultivated and brought into proper condition. More tender things, such as Balsams, Nasturtiums, African Marigolds, and Zinnias, are better planted about the same time as corn, or when the ground is thoroughly warm. Prepare the ground carefully, taking special pains to make it soft and fine on top, and sow the seeds in drills or broadcast, thin- ning them when they come up so that they stand about half as far apart as their maximum height. Thus, Zinnias, which may reach 3 feet, may be thinned to 18 inches apart, while Sweet Alyssum, which grows only 6 inches, should stand 3 inches apart. Itis always better to have them too thick than too thin; but best effect is had when plants have plenty of room to develop. Very fine seeds, like Petunias and Portulacas, should not be covered with soil at all, but merely be pressed into the ground by hand or a board. Such shallowly planted seeds are better if shaded by papers, boards, or cloth until they have germinated. Larger seeds ought to be buried about four times their diameter, and it is well to press the soil firmly above them and water them frequently so they do not dry up. To have large plants of Annuals for early blooming or to replace Tuups or other early bulbs, it is best to start them in shallow boxes in the house or in the greenhouse. A coldframe or hotbed will do equally well. The seeds may be sowed quite thickly and the seed- lings spaced out into other trays or frames as soon as they are large enough to handle. Before setting them in their permanent quar- ters, expose them to the weather several days to harden off. Do not let them get too large in the trays before putting them into the ground. Small, stocky seedlings are better than tall, leggy ones. Have patience with seeds sown very early. May seems to be the natural time for most seeds to germinate, and if sown earlier than that they may take much longer to come up. In fact, seeds sown onidoors in May frequently grow up and bloom as quickly as - i those sown indoors in March. Some Annuals are very difficult to transplant. Among them PX Blue Ageratum are Poppies of all kinds, Mignonette, and Salpiglossis, although the last will do very well if moved when very small. Almost all other Annuals seem to be improved by transplanting, and some, such as Cosmos, Balsams, and Marigolds, may be moved when in full flower with considerable suecess. The ground about the roots of RORY planted . Annuals should be kept firm, but cultivation must not be neglected until they have so closed up the space that itis difficult to work between them. Plenty of water and sunshine is all they need if the ground is fit to pro- duce any kind of crop. 504 ABRONIA umbellata. Sand Verbena.

It is well for ordinary growers to Pa work a trench at least 18 inches deep and wide, putting ° plenty of well-rotted manure or other suitable fertilizer _ in the bottom. This should be done in the fall, but if it has been neglected then, it should be done as early as x) the ground can be worked in spring. March is not too f soon if there is a stretch of warm weather to mellow the ground and make it workable. Plant the seeds at the bottom of a furrow about 6 inches deep, and cover them with 2 inches of fine soil. As they come up, slightly hill the rows, leaving a depression on either side into which water can be applied which will percolate to the roots but keep the vines dry. Use brush or wire netting 4 to 5 feet high for them to climb on, and be sure to cut the blooms every day to prevent them from going to seed. Frequent watering is important if the weather is at all dry. Never let the ground bake or cake. Keep it cultivated at all times, or cover it with a mulch of grass clippings or some other material.

For winter use the flowers should be cut before they are fully expanded and hung, with the heads down- ward, in an airy room to dry. The showy part of the flowers are small straw- like bracts which take the place of petals. The Everlastings are a group of widely diversified form, and not nearly so monotonous as one would suppose from the florist’s windows. Commercial growers, it seems, know only the Helichrysums, but all the others are equally handsome and of much varied form. ACROCLINIUM. Showy annuals of great value as cut-flowers. 1 ft.

Bak ee 15 Streptocarpus, Giant Hybrids Farquhar’s Hardy Perennial Flower Seeds CutturE. Raising Hardy Perennials from seed is no more difficult than raising Annuals, except tor the element of time. Usually it requires a full year for the seedlings to reach the blooming-stage, or at least to produce truly representative bloom. In the main, the directions for caring for Annuals given on page 44 will apply to sowing and germinating seeds and the early handling of the seedlings. For most Hardy Perennials, May is the best time to sow, although good results may be obtained by sowing some, such as Forget-me-nots, Pansies, Daisies, and so on, from June onward. Give the plants plenty of room in the seed-bed, and transplant them to a spare piece of ground or nursery as soon as possible. They may be left in this nursery over winter if desired, and usually they will endure the severe weather better than if they were lifted and put in the borders. However, many of the stronger kinds will be large enough to put into their permanent quarters by the first of September, and should establish themselves sufficiently before winter to enable them to survive. The seeds of some of the best Hardy Perennials are somewhat slow to germinate. While most of them will appear above ground within the first two weeks, Aconitums, Primulas, Anthericums, Trollius, Dictamnus, and a few others may take months, or even a year. The beds in which such seeds are sowed should not be allowed to become weedy or dry during the dormant period, and in most cases the seeds will germinate vigorously when they are good and ready. Certain of the most desirable Perennials— } | Foxgloves, and Canterbury Bells, for example—are rather uncertain in their hardiness. Most gardeners | find it best to winter seedlings of these varieties in coldframes or under some shelter which keeps them dry. Soggy manure or leaves piled upon the crowns invariably kill them. Delphiniums seem to enjoy being buried in coal-ashes; Hollyhocks, Gaillardias, and most other per- ennials prefer only the lightest of coverings or none at all. But in the main the direction for wintering Hardy Perennials given in the Hardy Plant Section will apply to the protection of seedlings. li For summer cultural directions, see Hardy Plant Section also. 5910 ACANTHUS latifolius (A. mollis latifolius).

SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS Farquhar’s Summer-Flowering Bulbs AMARYLLIS CutturE. The cultivation of Amaryllis is very simple. They prefer a strong loam, free from decayed vegetable matter, and a sea- son of rapid growth, followed by a period of perfect rest until started again. While rest is necessary, they must not be allowed to become quite dry; water just sufficiently to keep the leaves from drooping. The bulbs should remain in the pots when at rest; too frequent shifting and too much pot-room is injurious. Because the pot is full of roots, it is no indication that the bulb needs repotting; on the contrary it is a sure indication of bloom. The pots can never be too full of roots as the bulbs flower all the better for being cramped; it is astonishing how little soil they require. The bulbs should be placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm, under the benches of a greenhouse, for example; do not pot up the bulbs before the flower-buds appear; when first potted give very little water and pro- mote growth by giving moderate bottom heat. vittata, New Hybrids (Hippeastrum vittatum). The finest race of Amaryllis in cultivation, exceeding all former hybrids in the size and fine form of their flowers as well as in the diversity of colors and markings. The segments are of nearly uniform size, giving the flowers a regular trumpet form. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. equestris (Hippeastrum equestre). Scarlet, with broad white stripes extending from the throat to half way up the segments. 40c. each; $4.00 per doz. formosissima (Sprekelia formosissima). crimson. 35c. each; $3.50 per doz.

Fragrant, bright rosy lilac flowers, 3 to 4 inches across, in August. The foliage appears in spring, disappears in June, and is followed two months later by the naked flowers. Hardy if protected. $1.25 each; $14.00 per doz. rosea (Zephyranthes rosea). Beautiful dwarf bulbous plants that are very effective for planting in masses in May and flowering with great profusion during the summer. The bulbs should be taken up before cold weather and stored in a dry, warm place; plant out again the following May. Beautiful rose-pink flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. 20c. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. candida (Z. candida). Fairy Lily.

Profuse blooming tender perennials for greennouse or conservatory decoration during summer. The scaly tubers should be potted in the early spring in a compost of turfy loam, leaf mould, and sand. They should be grown in a moist, warm temperature, shad- ed from the sun until they begin to bloom, when they should be kept cooler to prolong the duration of the flowers. These grand new seedlings were raised in New England by a noted hybridizer and far surpass the older varieties in size and beauty of bloom. The plants are very vigorous in growth and ex- ceedingly free-flowering. magnifica. Magnificent flowers of sky-blue, with white throat. Purity. Pure white; very large. Swansoni.

Each flower-stalk produces from four to eight widely expanded fragrant flowers, of creamy white color with broad violet-maroon blotches. The flowers are very lasting and, being borne on long stems, are excellent for bouquets and table decorations. The bulbs should be treated like gladiolus. (Cannot supply this season.) AGAPANTHUS African Lily umbellatus. A handsome summer and autumn-flowering plant which throws up large flower-stalks 2 to 3 feet in height, bear- ing numerous bright blue flowers in clusters, and continuing in bloom over a long period. They should be grown in pots or - tubs, in sandy soil well enriched. The plants should be divided before they become overcrowded in the pot or tub. They are particularly suitable for piazza or terrace decoration, and may also be forced in the greenhouse. 75c. each; $7.50 per doz. Large plants in tubs, $5.00 and $6.00 each. Achimenes R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS 95 FARQUHAR’S TUBEROUS- ROOTED BECGONIAS The great value of Tuberous-Rooted Begonias for lawn beds and borders is now appreciated. They bloom con- tinuously from early summer until frost, producing a pro- fusion of large, gorgeous flowers. Throughout Europe they are used very extensively, particularly in the beautiful parks of Paris. They are of easiest cultivation, rarely at- tacked by insects or blight, and succeed in any good soil which is kept moderately moist. The tubers we offer have been specially grown for us by celebrated cultivators, and we feel assured that they are not surpassed by any other strain in commerce. Mailed free at dozen rates. CutturE. Tubers may be started in February or March, either singly or in small pots, or set 2 inches apart in flat boxes. The soil should be light, containing plenty of leaf- mould and sand. In planting, care should be taken to set the crown of the tuber, which is usually somewhat depressed, upward. The tubers should be covered Winch with light soil and watered sparingly until they start, after which more water may be given. Keep the temperature at 60 to 70 degrees. The started plants, when intended for bedding purposes, may be transferred to the beds in the open ground early in June, by == which time they should be in bloom. Set the plants 10 to 12 Tuberous-rooted Begonias inches apart. Although there is much to be gained by starting the tubers early, as just described, they may be planted, unstarted, in the open-ground beds in the last week of May or later, with excellent results. They will thrive either in full sunshine or partial shade, but when fully exposed to the sun the beds must be kept moist. A wind-swept situation should be avoided. SINGLE-FLOWERING VARIETIES These are best adapted to outdoor planting. Mixed. All colors. $3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 100. Separate Colors: Crimson, Scarlet, Pink, White, Salmon, or Yellow. .

SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS FANCY-LEAVED CALADIUMS eae Ar Wherever high-class decorations are required during summer, these plants are indispensable. When grown in pots, they may be used in the conservatory or the house with equal satisfaction. For table decorations, for jardinieres, and for enlivening groups of palms or ferns, they are most serviceable. They are quite as desirable for bedding purposes, and may be planted out after the middle of June in the sunniest situations if well watered, or in partial shade, but they should be sheltered from strong winds. The tubers should be started in the greenhouse in February or March, and if intended for outdoor beds gradually hardened off before being transferred to the open ground.

SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS 97 HARDY LILIES pgs Our Autumn Catalogue contains a complete list of hardy Lilies, most of which can be supplied in spring until May 1, if desired. We recommend fall planting for all the early- flowering sorts. Hardy Lilies should be planted in scat- tered groups in all perennial borders, as they produce an effect of stately dignity without which no border is complete. Lilies thrive among perennial plants or on the edges of shrubbery, where their rc ots are protected from the direct rays of the summer sun. Especially is this true in the case of L. auratum, one of the finest of all Japanese varieties. The Speciosums, Album and Magnificum, with their broad leaves arranged around the stem for protection, will generally succeed in any part of the garden, although, like all Lilies, they require good drainage. The stately L. regale, considered the finest of all hardy Lilies, will thrive and increase amazingly in the most unexpected places, although it will produce the finest blooms in a warm, pleasant situation, slightly shaded from the midday sun. L. canadense and L. superbum are the best varieties for planting among azaleas and rhododendrons, where the soil is more or less damp. L. tigrinwm and the Elegans varieties will invariably succeed anywhere, even in the most un- favorable situations. If exceptionally fine blooms are desired, a top-dressing of leaf-mold and bone-meal should be lightly worked into the soil, but stable manure should never be used to fertilize Lilies. In planting, cover the bulb to a depth of approxi- mately twice its diameter, that is, a bulb 3 inches in diameter should be covered with 6 inches of soil. It is also advisable to place each bulb in a handful of sand to ensure perfect drainage. For winter protection, cover, after the ground is frozen, with a few inches of leaves and other litter, which should be removed in the spring. All varieties of Lilies offered below may be planted in early spring with excellent results. If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 50 cts. per doz. auratum. Golden-rayed Japanese Lily.

The Hardy Plants have the advantage of permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during winter, and occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep them in good condition for years. For best results, pre- pare the border by digging it deeply and fertilizing it well, before planting Perennials. Plant them in groups rather than in lines or blocks, and arrange the tall kinds in the background.

Unquestionably the most useful Rose for garden decoration. Hadiey. (Alex. Montgomery, 1914.)

(Lambert & Reiter, 1891.) The buds and blooms of this pure white Rose are absolutely perfect in form and substance. The plant leaves much to be desired in growth and blooming, but deserves special care for the extreme beauty of its flowers. Killarney Double White. (Budlong & Son Co., 1913.) Long, tapered buds and fine, pointed flowers of pure snow-white. Rather a dwarf plant, but blooms freely, and is one of the most popular whites because of its attractive form. Killarney Queen. (Budlong & Son Co., 1912.) A brilliant pink, semi-double Rose especially noteworthy for its exquisite buds and the keeping quality of the flowers when cut. This is the best of the many Roses derived from Killarney, at one time the most popular Rose in the world. Konigin Carola. (Turke, 1903.) A vigorous, erect plant, bear- ing large, cup-like, soft pink blooms with great freedom. One of the most reliable and decorative garden Roses. La France. (Guillot fils, 1867.)

McGredy & Son, 1909.) Beautiful buds and very large, extremely double blooms of deep rose and soft pink.

Well-shaped buds and cup-like, brilliant crimson flowers of great finish and per- fection of form. The plant is not tall, but produces with such freedom throughout the season that it ranks high among the red Roses of fine quality. Lord Charlemont. (S. McGredy & Son, 1922.) One of the best red Roses of recent introduction, with glorious, long-pointed buds, opening to large, fully double, fragrant blooms of intense scarlet-red with darker shadings. $1.50 each. Los Angeles. (Howard & Smith, 1916.) Shell-like buds and splendidly formed flowers of glowing salmon-pink and gold, intensely fragrant. One of the most beautiful flowers. 1 By C. 8. Hubbard.

ROSES Killarney Queen Rose SELECT HYBRID TEA ROSES, continued Miss Cynthia Forde. (Hugh Dickson, 1909.) Firm, double blooms of sparkling pink, each petal edged a little lighter. Very dependable, healthy, and a continuous and liberal bloomer. Mme. Butterfly. (E. G. Hill, 1918.) One of the Roses which everybody must have, with buds and blooms having fine durable texture, and the color a mixture of pink, cream and gold. Mme. Caroline Testout. (Pernet-Ducher, 1890.) A famous old sort, found in almost every garden. The flowers are satiny in texture, large, fairly full, and bright pink. Mme. Edouard Herriot. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Buds vivid orange-scarlet, opening to large, semi-double flowers of light copper-red, paling to strawberry-pink with age. Mrs. Aaron Ward. (Pernet-Ducher, 1907.) A dainty little Rose of soft fawn-yellow, occasionally paling to faint pinkish cream, usually very double but varies somewhat. The plant is dwarf, bushy, and especially valuable for edging beds of taller Roses. Mirs. Ambrose Ricardo. (S. McGredy & Son, 1914.) A favorite variety with Rose connoisseurs because of its giant golden cream blooms of unusual incurved form which last well and improve after cutting. Mrs. A. R. Waddell. (Pernet-Ducher, 1908.) A vigorous, branching plant producing great quantities of large, semi- double copper-pink and yellow flowers in sprays and clusters. Mrs. Charles Lamplough. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.) A vigorous bush, producing large, full, fragrant flowers of a refined shade of soft lemon-yellow. $1.25 each. Mrs. Henry Morse. (S. McGredy & Son, 1919.)

Large, peony-like flowers of light pink and rose, produced very freely on the tips of stout branching canes. One of the most satisfactory Roses for garden decoration, enduring for many years. Mrs. Wemyss Quin. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1914.) Excellent buds and well-shaped blooms of strong lemon-yellow, keeping their color until the petals drop. A wiry, branching bush usually quite healthy. An especially fine Rose. Ophelia. (W. Paul & Son, 1912.) One of the most popular Roses ever grown, having pearly white blooms of inexpres- sibly lovely form. In cool weather it is tinted with gold and pink. Padre. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Handsome buds and large, semi-double blooms of flashy, reddish copper, paling a little with age to glowing copper-orange. The plants arc tall and slender and should be grown close together in considerable quantities to make a stunning show. $1.25 each. Patience. (S. McGredy & Son, 1927.) The splendid, pointed buds open charmingly to fully double, fragrant blooms of orange-scarlet, suffused rich pink. $1.50 each. Radiance. (John Cook, 1908.) It seems scarcely necessary to describe this most popular Rose in America. The blooms are large, silvery pink and deep rose, fragrant, and borne with ex- ceptional freedom on a strong plant. Perhaps the easiest varie- ty to grow of those which produce blooms of good cutting quality. Red Radiance. (A. N. Pierson, 1916.) A light crimson sport of Radiance, which it resembles in all particulars, and many con- sider it superior to that variety in blooming qualities. This variety, Radiance, and Mme. Butterfly are the backbone of many Rose-gardens. Rev. F. Page-Roberts. (B. R. Cant & Sons, 1921.) Golden yel- low buds and blooms of the most glorious form, tinted on the outside of the petals with reddish copper and bronze. An ex- ceptionally fine variety in the autumn and early in the season and is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Roses in America. $1.50 each. Roselandia. (W. Stevens, 1924.) A glorified sport of Golden Ophelia which it resembles in form of bloom. The color is rich saffron-yellow, shaded apricot at the centre, sometimes tinted red on outside of petals. Sensation. (J. H. Hill, 1922.) A giant, rich, blackish crimson Rose originally intended for the florists’ trade, but it has done so well in the garden that it is being recommended by informed Rose-growers as one of the best recent red varieties. The flow- ers are massive and borne on good stems for cutting. Shot Silk. (Alex. Dickson & Sons, 1924.) Large blooms of cerise-pink, overlaid with golden yellow and orange tints. A Rose of very striking color and gorgeous decorative effect. The plant is dwarf, robust, and has glossy foliage. $1.25 each. Sir David Davis. (S. McGredy & Son, 1926.) One of the best of the new red Roses. The bush is tall and robust, with hand- some foliage, and bears abundantly, medium-sized blooms of dazzling scarlet-crimson. $1.25 each. Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1920.) Light lemon-yellow buds of exceptional form sometimes paling to white at the edges and deepening to gold in the centre. A very free-flowering, true yellow variety, which likes full sunshine and warm, dry weather. Souvenir de Georges Pernet. (Pernet-Ducher, 1921.) Giant reddish pink buds and blooms of globular form with a pointed centre and a touch of orange at the base of the petals. Re- markable for its great size and comparative freedom of bloom. The plants are dwarf and stocky. Ville de Paris. (Pernet-Ducher, 1926.) The vigorous plant produces profusely very double, bright yellow flowers resem- bling Radiance in form. All through the season this Rose re- tains its richness of coloring and for cutting it is incompar- ably beautiful. Awarded the coveted Bagatelle Rose Gardens Gold Medal. $1.25 each. Wilhelm Kordes. (W. Kordes Sons, 1922.) A new Rose of distinct and exquisite color—vivid salmon-pink, shaded and splashed with orange and gold. The blooms are gloriously formed and delightfully fragrant. The habit of growth is ex- cellent, the plant being quite compact, yet vigorous. $1.25 ea. Willowmere. (Pernet-Ducher, 1913.) Long-pointed buds and blooms of glowing pink, suffused with yellow at the base of the petals. Erect, vigorous growth. One of the showiest and most prolific bedding Roses which produces high-quality blooms. 1 Aphis or plant-lice, if not controlled by a con- Aphistrogen. tact spray, weaken the plant’s resistance to disease.

ROSES HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $75.00 per 100, except where otherwise priced. After May 1, all Hybrid Perpetual Roses will be supplied from pot-grown plants at the following prices: $1.25 each; $11.00 for 10; $90.00 per 100, ex- cept where otherwise priced. These are quite large bushes which produce superb blooms in tremendous profusion in early summer and scattering flowers throughout summer and fall. Most of them have a large measure | of the true Rose fragrance. They are much hardier than the Hybrid Teas, and usually survive with little damage wherever apple trees may be grown. American Beauty. (Ledechaux, 1875.) A famous, deep rose- red flower, popular in the florists’ shops for many years. The color is rather difficult to get along with outdoors, but its fragrance is superb. Anna de Diesbach. (Lacharme, 1859.) Deep pink or light crimson flowers of compact, many-petaled form, frequently of true globular shape. Baroness Rothschild. (Pernet, 1867.) Magnificent light pink blooms, usually borne singly on rigid, leafy stems. They are lightly shaded white or rose, of cupped form, very large, and scentless. Clio. (W. Paul & Son, 1894.) Very double, flat flowers of an exquisite shade of pale pink, at times almost white. The blooms are borne in enormous clusters on strong, thorny stems. Frau Karl Druschki. (P. Lambert, 1900.) Very large, pure white buds and blooms of perfect form, excellent texture, and keeping qualities. Undoubtedly the best white Rose for gen- eral planting because of its extreme vigor and cheerful habit of blooming continuously from early June until frost. General Jacqueminot. (Roussel, 1852.) One of the most famous old Roses and still widely grown chiefly for its sentimental value. Its bright crimson buds and flowers are attractive and fragrant. Georg Arends. (Hinner, 1910.) One of the loveliest pink Roses known, with a pale soft color unequaled by any other variety. The flowers are very large, exquisitely shaped, and are pro- duced freely by a strong, healthy bush early in the season. Hugh Dickson. (H. Dickson, 1905.) A handsome, well-formed Rose of glowing crimson, enriched with a velvety black sheen, and very fragrant. J. B. Clark. (H. Dickson, 1904.) A Rose of splendid growth, pro- ducing enormous quantities of large, clear light crimson blooms. Magna Charta. (W. Paul & Son, 1876.) Very double blooms of rich, glowing pink and intensely fragrant with the genuine old- fashioned Rose perfume. Rather moderate in its growth. Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1894.) Another very satisfactory Hybrid Perpetual, producing loose, fluffy blooms of an exquisitely delicate texture and a tender blending of soft pink tints which can scarcely be duplicated. Sik dae Me Standard or Tree Rose 135 Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford Rose HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES, continued Mrs. John Laing. (Bennett, 1887.) Medium-sized flowers of soft, glowing pink, cup-like in form, quite full, and very fra- grant. The plants are thornless, vigorous, and bloom with a persistence equaled only by modern Hybrid Teas, furnishing a succession of delightful flowers from early in the season until the beginning of winter. Mme. Albert Barbier. (Barbier & Cie, 1925.) Splendid, very double blooms of pale flesh-pink, strongly shaded with yellow and cream. Unique color in Hybrid Perpetuals and the plant is exceptionally free-flowering throughout the summer. $1.25 each. Paul Neyron. (L. Levet, 1869.) This old-time Rose long en- joyed the reputation of being the largest of all. It is quite shapeless, of dark lilac-rose color, and very fragrant. Prince Camilie de Rohan. (E. Verdier, 1861.) A fragrant, flattish flower of dark purple-maroon, shaded with black- maroon. This is the sole survivor of a great many so-called black Roses, and is valuable chiefly for its fragrance. Ulrich Brunner. (I. Levet, 1881.) Very bright, light crimson flowers of cupped form and great size. Extremely liberal bloomer of vigorous growth and one of the most popular of its class. STANDARD OR TREE ROSES Nothing in the garden is more stately and beautiful than well- grown Standard Roses. These plants are tree-shaped, having a single tall stem with a bushy head, so that the flowers are borne high above the ground, about on a level with the eye. They are especially effective for lining walks in the Rose-garden, for mark- ing entrances and exits. A row of them in the centre of a bed of closely planted dwarf bushes is also particularly handsome. For de- tailed descriptions see the Hybrid Tea and Hybrid Perpetual lists. Betty Uprichard.

FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. ROSES ne Persian Yellow Rose TEA ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $75.00 per 100. After May 1, all Tea Roses will be supplied from pot-grown plants at the following prices: $1.25 each; $11.00 for 10; $90.00 per 100. This is a group of exquisitely shaped Roses, which bloom freely throughout the entire season. In general they resemble the Hy- brid Teas so much that they may be planted with them and receive the same treatment. As a rule they are more likely to suffer damage in winter, and, in consequence, should be more carefully protected. Harry Kirk. (A. Dickson & Sons, 1907.) Beautifully formed yellow buds and cup-like, straw-yellow flowers. A very de- pendable variety, very much like a Hybrid Tea in vigor and hardiness. Lady Hillingdon. (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.) One of the dainti- est flowers imaginable. Usually soft golden yellow with tints of apricot and orange. A wiry, upright grower with beautiful foliage, and very hardy for a Tea and grows to notable per- feetion in Massachusetts. Maman Cochet. (P. Cochet, 1892.) Very large and double flowers of the old type of Teas. Bright pink, paling at the edges. One of the most satisfactory generally, especially in cool weather. Quite hardy. White Maman Cochet. (John Cook, 1896.) One of the most satisfactory white Roses, much like William R. Smith and Maman Cochet, but pure white, with a touch of green at the centre. A vigorous grower and blooms exceptionally well, es- pecially in autumn. William R. Smith. , (W. R. Smith, 1908.) Pointed buds and flowers of delicate pink, with beautifully recurved petals lighter at the edges and sometimes tinted with cream. A very vigor- ous grower and persistent bloomer. BOURBON OR HYBRID CHINA This group of Roses is practically extinct, very few being in American commerce, and it is considered doubtful in which section the following variety belongs. Some of the best informed authorities class it as a Hybrid Noisette. Mme. Plantier. (Plantier, 1835.) A very large, bushy shrub, growing 6 to 10 feet high and as much through, producing enormous quantities of double, attractive, snow-white flowers early in the season. This Rose used to be very popular, and most of the old-fashioned, white bush Roses found in old-time gardens are this variety. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. POLYANTHA ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.00 for 10; $65.00 per 100, except where otherwise priced. After May 1, all Polyantha Roses will be supplied from pot-grown plants at the Jollowing prices: $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10, except where otherwise priced. This is a group of everblooming dwarf Roses which produce small flowers in large trusses or clusters. They are especially used for bordering paths of Hybrid Perpetuals or shrubs, and no other plant produces such a continuous display of color throughout the entire season. Baby Rambler (Mme. Norbert Levavasseur). (Levavasseur, 1903.) A splendid bloomer, producing a tremendous quantity of light purple-red blooms all through the season, making a brave display of color. Cecile Brunner (Sweetheart). (Mme. Ducher, 1881.) A popular little Rose, with exquisitely formed buds and flowers of delicate pink, tinted slightly with cream and deep rose. Chatillon Rose. (Nonin, 1923.) New. Semi-double, cup- shaped blooms of lasting deep rose-pink in large clusters. George Elger. (E. Turbat & Co., 1912.) Small, though shapely blooms of pure yellow, changing to creamy yellow. Golden Salmon. (W. Cutbush & Son, 1926.) New. Large clusters of reddish orange blooms. The compact bushes bear continuously and are most effective for massing. $1.50 each. Katharina Zeimet. (P. Lambert, 1901.) Large and numerous clusters of pure white blooms. Mrs. W. H. Cutbush. (Cutbush & Son, 1906.) Soft pink flow- ers borne in very large clusters, having much the same effect as Orleans and Baby Rambler, but offering a pleasing contrast to them in color. Orieans. (Levavasseur, 1910.) One of the most showy va- rieties. Produces huge clusters of small, light scarlet flowers which become somewhat lighter as they mature. Scarlet Leader. (H. Wezelenburg & Son, 1927.) Large, blazing Se asf ia flowers in huge clusters. Very showy. $1.25 each. Suzanne Miller. (H. Wezelenburg & Son, 1927.) A continuous blooming variety with large clusters of cherry-red flowers. $1.25 each. The ideal all-year rose-mulch. Large Imported Granulated Peat Moss. bale, $4.00; 10 bales, $35.00, f.o.b. Boston. Trial bale, $1.50. A bed of Polyantha Roses R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON MOSS ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, 85c. each; $7.50 for 10 This is a group of old-fashioned Roses, very little grown now-a- days, but charming for all that. The plants are very hardy but seldom have good foliage, and bloom only once in the early sum- mer. Their greatest beauty is in the delicate mossy envelope that covers the bud and the calyx of the open flower. They are very fragrant and easily grown. While they thrive upon neglect, they are much better if treated fairly and properly cultivated. Blanche Moreau. (Moreau-Robert, 1880.) A particularly choice white variety, sometimes pinkish in the buds, which carry a rich bronzy green mossy covering. Crested Moss. (Switzerland, 1827.) Large, showy, brilliant pink flowers, remarkable for the three-cornered frill which sur- rounds and surmounts the buds before they open. A great curiosity but beautiful for its own sake and extremely fragrant. Henri Martin. (Laftay, 1863.) One of the very few red Moss Roses left of an enormous number of varieties cultivated many years ago. None of the red varieties were very mossy. This 1s probably the best in that respect. Princesse Adelaide. (Laffay, 1845.) A strong-growing variety with large, pink flowers and abundant rich mossy covering. AUSTRIAN BRIAR ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10 This is a group of rather large shrubs, notable for their brilliant yellow flowers produced rather early in the season. The flowers are single or semi-double, and are rather fleeting, but they are produced in such profusion that the plants are exceedingly showy and handsome over a period of some weeks. They are all hardy, and are best planted as specimens at the edge of the lawn, or in borders about the garden or grounds. Austrian Copper (Rosa fetida bicolor). Species. Rather more slender in growth than most of this group, reaching 4 to 5 feet. The wiry stems are covered in early summer with garlands of single flowers, vivid copper-red on the inner surface of the petals and bright yellow on the outside. Spectacular and of great interest. Harison’s Yellow. (Harison, 1830.) A big, bushy shrub, pro- ducing untold quantities of medium-size, semi-double, light yellow flowers in early June or late May. This is the very best hardy yellow Rose for shrub and specimen use and may be seen in almost every old-fashioned home-garden in the country- side. The foliage is always good. Persian Yellow. (Willock, 1837.) A double form of the original Austrian Yellow, R. fetida, and not quite so strong or reliable as Harison’s Yellow. Its flowers are handsomer, richer in color, of a deep buttercup tone, unapproached by any other Rose. Rosa Rugosa, Blanc Double de Coubert RUGOSA ROSES Strong, two-year, field-grown plants, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $75.00 per 100, except where otherwise priced A group of very hardy, large-growing shrubs with peculiarly rough and healthy foliage and large, showy flowers. Usually they bloom on and off throughout the entire season, and they are particularly attractive in autumn when they bear their giant crimson fruits among their buds and open flowers. Rosa rugosa (rubra). Species. Very large, single flowers of silken texture, varying in color from purple-red to bright rosy pink. The blooms open consecutively at the tips of the shoots throughout the whole season. Foliage and growth very fine. This is the type which all the others resemble more or less, and in the estimation of connoisseurs is perhaps the finest and most useful of all. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. R. rugosa alba. Species. Identical with R. rugosa, except that the flowers are pure snow-white. It is especially effective inter- planted with Rugosa, heightening the color-effect considerably. Very beautiful when the fruit begins to ripen, contrasting its brilliant color with the white flowers which continue to open until frost. Blanc Double de Coubert. (Cochet; 1892.) This is practically a very double form of R. rugosa alba. It is a steady and prolific bloomer and is equal to the type in beauty of foliage and vigor of growth. Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. (Miiller, 1900.) A gigantic shrub useful for screening small buildings. The flowers are delicately and exquisitely formed, of the best Tea quality, shading through several tones of pink. The foliage is smooth and very large. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. F. J. Grootendorst. (De Goey, 1918.) Unique among Rugosas for its small, fringed flowers of brilliant red, borne continually in large heads or clusters. It has strong, healthy foliage and is especially recommended for hedges or shrub uses. Pink Grootendorst. (Grootendorst, 1923.) This charming new Rose has the true Rugosa growth and large, hard, glossy foliage which is never troubled by insects or disease. It blooms steadily from June until frost. The fringed flowers are a fine shade of soft shell-pink. (Color illustration opposite page 132.) $1.25 each; $10.00 for 10; $85.00 per 100. Rose a Parfum de I’Hay. (Gravereaux, 1903.) A vigorous shrub with good foliage and large, informal, double flowers of cheerful red. Especially desirable for its refreshing fragrance. Ruskin. (Van Fleet; intro. by American Rose Society, 1928.) The fragrant fiowers are large, double, full, deep crimson in color, and are borne abundantly, singly and in clusters, inter- mittently from spring until frost. $1.25 each. 138 American Pillar Rose ROSE SPECIES This is a mixed group, including a number of Wild Roses from different parts of the world. They are adaptable to many uses, according to their habit and time of flowering, but are most suitable for naturalistic planting, specimens, and in the shrub- bery. Several species are treated in previous groups and will be found under them. Rosa rugosa and R. rugosa alba are listed under the Rugosas. Rosa foetida bicolor. See Austrian Copper, page 137. R. Hugonis. (Hemsley, Western China.) A very popular shrub, growing 6 to 8 feet high, producing long, arching sprays covered with myriads of pale yellow, single flowers in late spring. This is an excellent garden subject for specimen use and is equally at home in the shrubbery. Two-year pot-grown plants, $2.50 each; one-year pot-grown plants, $1.50 each. R. rubiginosa. (Linnzxus, Europe.) This is the famous Sweet- briar of the Old World. Produces long, thorny canes with richly scented foliage, especially noticeable after a rain or when covered with heavy dew. The flowers are small, bright pink, but of less importance than the fragrance of the foliage. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. R. rugosa. See page 137. R. rugosa alba. See page 137. R. setigera. (Michaux, North America.) The native Prairie Rose of our northern states. It is almost a climber, with vigorous, arching canes, bearing 3-parted leaves like a black- berry. The flowers are bright rose-pink and produced late in the season in rather large, showy clusters. It is at home in fence-corners, besides walks, or in the shrubbery. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. R. spinosissima. (Linneus, Europe and Asia.) A shrubby bush, covered with sharp spines, growing 3 to 4 feet high. The foliage is small and dark green. Usually the flowers are white, single, and produced very early, but occasionally plants have pale yellow or pink blooms. A useful plant for the front of the shrubbery border, specimens, or the hedges of a naturalistic type. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. R. Wichuraiana. (Crepine, Japan.) A vigorous, trailing Rose which creeps close to the ground forming a mat of glossy, leathery fohage. It blooms late in the season in large clusters of semi-double, pure white flowers, with golden yellow stamens. Especially valuable for covering walls or fences, and if neces- sary may be trained upright, although it prefers to trail. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. R. & J. FARQUHAR CO.,; BOSTON. ROSES CLIMBING ROSES, Pillar Varieties Under this heading we list a number of large-flowered, con- stant-blooming climbers, suitable for growing as pillars. That is, they should be tied up to a rather tall stake or slender post and kept cut back to the proper height. These are tender to frost for the most part, and by wrapping the whole pillar with burlap or straw, they may be wintered successfully in quite severe climates. Climbing Gruss an Teplitz. (Storrs & Harrison, 1911.) A vigorous Climber, somewhat like the very popular bush variety, Gruss an Teplitz. The flowers are exactly the same and are produced in glorious profusion early in the summer, and on and off until freezing weather. It will need protection during winter in severe climates. $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. Climbing Lady Ashtown. (Bradley, 1909.) Exactly like the popular Lady Ashtown in form and color of flower, but the plant is a moderately vigorous climber, blooming frequently throughout the summer and fall. It is unusually hardy for this type of rose. $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. Gloire de Dijon. (Jacotot, 1853.) This Rose produces its large, very double, pinkish buff flowers constantly throughout the season. It is fragrant and wholly delightful. The plant is quite vigorous and the hardiest of all Tea Roses but will re- quire protection where the thermometer goes below zero. $1.25 each; $11.00 for 10. Climbing Sunburst. (Howard, 1915.) A fairly vigorous climb- ing form of the popular garden rose Sunburst. The blooms are rich orange, yellow and cream and are produced frequently throughout the season. $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. Marechal Niel. (Pradel, 1864.) The most beautiful yellow Rose in the world, but extremely tender to frost and will need pro- tection where the winters are severe. Its large golden yellow blooms are profusely produced early in the season and sparingly thereafter. $1.25 each; $11.00 for 10. SINGLE HARDY CLIMBERS Two choice varieties with small, single flowers in clusters. They are less formal than the double sorts. American Pillar. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1902.) An extraordinarily vigorous climbing Rose with bold, shining foliage and tremen- dous clusters of large, single flowers, vivid pink at the edge of the petals paling to white at the centre, illumined by large clusters of stamens. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. Hiawatha. (M. H. Walsh, 1904.) A brilliant crimson variety with white centres and golden stamens.- Flowers in brave clusters on a wiry, very vigorous climbing plant. This is one of the most brilliant and showy climbers and blooms very late in the season. 75c. each; $6.00 for 10. BS 25-5 x je ae me See res Mary Wallace Climbing Rose. See page 139 R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. ROSES Hedge of Rambler Roses Albertine. double flowers of a distinct new shade—coppery chamois- yellow passing to coppery-rose. $1.25 each; $11.00 for 10. Alida Lovett. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1905.) Very large blooms of bright shell-pink, produced profusely early in the season on a plant of great health and vigor. (Barbier & Co., 1921.) Large clusters of loose, Bess Lovett. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1905.) Bright, light red flowers of semi-double form and quite large size, produced in big clusters on a climber of extraordinary vigor. Chaplin’s Pink Climber. (Chaplin Bros., 1928.) A vigorous grower with glossy dark green foliage. The flowers are of good size, borne in clusters, similar to Paul’s Scarlet, but clear, rich pink in color. $1.50 each; $12.50 for 10. Christine Wright. (Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas Co., 1909.) An early-flowering climber of moderate vigor, producing large, shallow, cup-like blooms of bright wild-rose-pink; fragrant. Climbing American Beauty. (Hoopes, Bro. & Thomas Co., 1909.) Flowers are large, beautifully formed, and brilliant red- dish carmine with a satiny finish and are gloriously perfumed. One of the earliest climbers to bloom. Crimson Rambler. (Turner, 1893.) An always-popular, very strong-growing climber, producing huge clusters of blazing scarlet flowers. Dorothy Perkins. (Jackson & Perkins Co., 1902.) Clusters of small, very beautifully formed, shell-pink flowers, produced with the utmost profusion late in the season. Dr. Huey. (Capt. Thomas, 1914.) Similar to the well-known Paul’s Scarlet Climber but with flowers of a deeper red— intense dark crimson. $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. Dr. W. Van Fleet. (Dr. W. Van Fleet, 1910.) A vigorous climber, producing large, pale pink blooms of splendid quality, in large clusters on long, strong stems. Emily Gray. (Dr. A. H. Williams, 1918.)

HARDY VINES HARDY VINES AND TRAILING PLANTS Hardy vines are widely useful for concealing unsightly objects, such as tree stumps, garages, ugly fences, stone piles, and rough ground. They may be trained to screen unpleasant views or to separate various portions of the garden. In many cases they are used to increase the beauty of walls, enhancing the established, permanent quality of homes and grounds; they are invaluable for covering arbors and pergolas, for screening porches, and draping along balconies. Their care is simple. Prepare the ground well and deeply, see that the plant is not too much deprived of water, and that it is kept under control by judicious pruning from time to time.

They should be chosen not only for graceful habit and season of blooming, but for their variously tinted leaves and berries. Plant them liberally and thickly for quick effects, and thin them out as they begin to crowd each other. They appreciate deep preparation of the soil and liberal feeding with manure or other fertilizer. Keep the ground beneath them cultivated, and do not plant them in holes cut in the sod. Prune them as they increase in age, in the winter cutting out old, decrepit canes entirely, and refrain from snipping at the ends of the shoots. Encourage new growth from the base of the plants at all times. Early-flowering shrubs should be pruned immediately after they have finished blooming to encourage new growth to produce flowers _the next spring. If they are pruned in the winter, the buds which were formed the previous summer will be cut off and the quantity of bloom will be seriously reduced. Late-flowering shrubs, such as Altheas and Hydrangeas, may be pruned in winter or spring because the flower-buds are formed the same season as they bloom. Broad-leaved Evergreens are generally best with no pruning at all. Do not attack border shrubs as one would a privet hedge or a box tree. Allow the Ate to assume their natural, graceful form, but do not permit them to become old and crowded at the base. Keep them always growing new and fresh wood from the roots.

RHODODENDRONS RHODODENDRONS The ground selected for the planting of Rhododendrons should be prepared to a depth of at least 2 feet, with a compost of one-half light garden soil and one-half rotted peat. If the soil should happen to be heavy clay, good sharp sand should be mixed with it in liberal quantities. Rhododendrons will not flourish in limestone soils. After the flowers have fallen, it is very important that the seed-pods be removed immediately, so that the plants may make their full growth and mature their flower-buds for the following year.
