“IMPERIAL” SET OF ROSES

SEE FIRST COVER PAGE FOR THESE “IMPERIAL”? ROSES IN COLORS.

Price of These ‘‘Imperial’’ Roses, 30 Cents Each, or the Three for 75 Cents; Two-Year-
Old Plants, 60 Cents Each, the Three for $1.50.

MADAME RAVARY-—It is probable that more of this yellow
Rose is planted in England, Ireland and the continent than
all other yellows combined. In habit and growth it is
much like Madame Caroline Testout. The buds are long and
pointed, of a beautifui golden-yellow, opening into enor-
mous flowers of orange-yellow, the edge of petals shading
lighter, making a combination of color that is irresist-
ible. Extra grand.

KAISER WILHELM {I—Growth vigorous and upright. Flow-
ers large and very full.. Buds elongated, always opening
well. Color the richest shade of velvety crimson, almost
black. An excellent garden Rose.

MY MARYLAND—An American Rose that has jumped into
popular favor at once, sweeping the decks of both Europe
and America clean. Color glowing, intense pink; large, full
and of fine form. The freest Rose in growth and
bloom that we know. This is a wonderfully fine Rose for
the garden. Always produces fine buds and flowers and al-
Ways in bloom.

Garden Collection of Hardy Phlox

SEE OPPOSITE PAGE FOR THESE HARDY PHLOX IN COLORS.
Price, 10 Cents Each, or the Seven Varieties for 50 Cents.

No. 1[—COQUELICOT—Bright scarlet.
No. 2—R. P. STRUTHERS—Cherry-red.
No. 3—ECLAIREUR—Rosy-magenta.

No. 4—ALCESTE—Violet-blue.

No. 5—PANTHEON—Clear pink.

No. 6—BRIDESMAID—White, red eye.
No. 7—INDEPENDENCE—Pure white.

BAINES BEDDING ROSES

FOR THESE ROSES IN COLORS, SEE THIRD PAGE OF COVER.
Price, 15 Cents Each, or the Six Baines Bedding Roses for 75 Cents.

WHITE MAMAN COCHET—A sport from Maman
No, Cochet with creamy-white flowers, faintly tinged

with blush; long pointed bud opening to large
flowers; an exceedingly pretty and valuable variety that can
be highly recommended.

MADAME SEGOND WEBER—One of the grandest
No, ? novelties of recent years; everybody is talking

about it, and the more one knows of this wonder-
ful Rose the more he will talk about it, and, what is of real
value, every bit of talk about Mme. Segond Weber is in
praise of her. Rosy-salmon or flesh-pink in color, of the
general type and color of “My Maryland.” ‘The bud is long
and pointed, opening into enormous blooms which deepen its
color until fully expanded, when it is as impressive as an
“American Beauty.’”? The texture of the Rose is very thick
and heavy and the form of the petals peculiarly beautiful.
A great garden Rose; awarded two gold medals.

RADIANCE—A new American Rose; there are none
No, better. A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beau-

tiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower.
The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals.
It blooms ¢tonstantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is,
next to President Taft, the strongest growing of all H. T.
Roses. Simply grand; superb.

SENATEUR MASCURAND—This is my pick of all

No the yellow Hybrid Tea Roses; it is a good grower,
8 very free bloomer; flowers are large, full and
globular; color deep orange-yellow, lighter on the edge of the

petals. This is a much better garden Rose than Mrs. Aaron
Ward. When I say orange-yellow I do not mean lemon-

yellow; it is the yellowest of all Roses.
No 5 LAURENT CARLE—An extremely vigorous grower,
a

with fine erect branching habit and fine dark-
green foliage; long buds are borne on long stems,
opening into large flowers of perfect form, just full enough
to open freely, color brilliant velvety-carmine. A very prom-
ising variety; another Rose it will certainly pay you to try.
I know-it has a future.
PRESIDENT TAFT—This Rose was raised in Cin-
No cinnati, the home of President Taft, and let me
8 say right here, while some of you may not admire
the President himself, you will, one and all, admire the Rose
given his name. It is without question the most remarkable
of all pink Roses. It has a shining, intense, deep pink color
possessed by no other Rose. It is a fine grower, free
bloomer, good size and form, fragrant, and in a class by
itself as to color. Mr. Frank Good, who _ is_ probably
familiar with more Roses than any man in America, says:
“Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and
then you will not say enough.’? Do not confound this Rose
with Leuchtfeuer, which some have attempted to rename
President Taft.

Great Giant Garden Dahlias

FOR THESE DAHLIAS IN COLORS, SEE FOURTH PAGE OF COVER.

MRS. ROOSEVELT—One of the giant flowered
No | type, delicate light pink shading to soft rose to-
' wards the center. An exceptionally large and
elegantly formed flower measuring seven to eight inches across.
Greatly admired by all. An abundant bloomer. Many of the
plants of this choice Dahlia do not make tubers like other
Dahlias, but grow and flower from eyes on the stems... A
wonder. Price, 40 cents each.

MRS. CHARLES TURNER—Bright canary-yellow.

0 ; Flowers of immense size, often measuring from

U seven to nine inches in diameter. This surpasses

anything for size in yellow Dahlias. Try it. Price, 20 cents.
No.

CUBAN GIANT—Flowers of great size, measur-
ing six inches across. Color dark, glowing crim-
son, shaded maroon. Magnificent. Price, 25 cents.

SPECIAL OFFER—The entire set of five Great Giant Garden Dahlias, costing $1.35, for only $1.00.

SOUVENIR DE GUSTAVE DOAZON—The largest
No Dahlia up to date. Can you imagine a Dahlia
a nine and one-half inches across? Simply a mon-
ster, still it is not coarse, but has such elegant refinement
that it impresses every lover of flowers with its grace,
beauty and charming elegance, and never fails to make friends.
These immense flowers are borne in profusion from the earliest
moment of blooming until the very last; it improves with the
season and grows more perfect; color a rich orange-red.
Price, 30 cents each.

CATHERINE DUER—(The Newport Dahlia.)
0, Cherry-scarlet overlaid with crimson. Darker at
the center. Its iridescence is unique and very

striking, winning much favor as a cut flower variety. The
fashionable flower at Newport. Especially good under arti-
ficial light. Price, 20 cents each.

A great bargain.

(GREETING

I feel sure that it will interest my friends and customers to know that my trade for 1912 bs
Was far in excess of any previous year. It took close to one million Roses to fill the orders
you sent me;-also two hundred thousand “‘“Mums.,” one hundred thousand Carnations, sixty-five. ~
thousand Ferns, twenty acres of Peonies, fifteen acres of Dahlias, ten acres of Phlox, five
acres of Gladioli, six acres of Iris were some of the prominent items grown for my trade, until
today my retail catalogue plant and bulb trade is by far the largest in the United States.

I have always made claim that the firm that sent honest goods at fair prices was bound
to win. If keeping everlastingly at it will bring success, then I will get there. To those who
have never tried me with an order, better give me at least a share of your needs.

Again thanking you for past favors and trusting you will speak a good word for my Plants,
Roses, etc., to your friends and neighbors,

Your flower loving friend

you to buy your Roses of me. I guarantee the Roses on this
page to bloom the first season or I will refund the money
to you for plants that fail to bloom. All I ask of you is
to properly plant and care for them. If any fail to bloom
by Oct. 15, 1913, and you notify me at once I will refund

esty in the matter of planting and caring for them. These

THE FIFTEEN BEST NEW ROSES >

After comparing all of the new Roses that I have tested the past two years (over two hundred varieties) from all parts of the

globe.

EDWARD MAWLEY—Raiser’s description:
ous outstanding qualities, is now generally regarded by
rosarians as the greatest advance and most wonderful Rose
yet raised. We have no hesitation in stating that it is the
finest of all dark-crimson Roses, a true perpetual flowering
Hybrid Tea, and the most beautiful variety the Rose world
has yet seen. Gold Medal, National Rose Society. The
grand novelty of Messrs. McGredy & Sons, they have very
aptly named Edward Mawley, in honor of one of the best-
beloved of British rosarians. It is an enormous, big-
petaled Rose, much larger than Melanie Soupert, a Rose
it resembles in form, but of the beautiful rich color of a
Louis Van Houtte, only with a more velvety shading upon
the inside of its petals. This Rose could not fail to re-
ceive the coveted gold medal of the National Rose Society.”
Price, 35 cents each; two-year-old, 75 cents each.

FARBENKOENIGIN—This is well named the Queen of Colors;
my own personal opinion is that there is no finer Rose
grown than this beautiful sort. It is large and full ; color
bright carmine and rosy-crimson, overlaid with a_satiny-
silver sheen. Very floriferous. Simply grand. Price, 25
cents each.

HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE—Very long buds of pure
orange or old gold; very large flower of perfect form. Sou-
pert & Notting, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, says:
“This is the finest yellow of all yellow Roses.” Gold medal,
M. Gladbach; certificate of merit of the German Nursery-
men’s Society; also prizes of honor at Leipsic, Sangerhau-
sen and Zweibrucken. Price, 25 cents each. ;

JONKHEER J. L. MOCK—This grand Rose is the strongest
growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The blooms, which are
produced with the greatest freedom, are carried on stiff and
erect stems, and are of the largest size, of perfect formation
and highly perfumed. Color clear imperial-pink; a glorious
flower. Awarded two gold medals, one silver medal and five
first prizes in Europe. I can confidently recommend this
sterling novelty as a most valuable addition. Price, 25
cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents each.

KILLARNEY QUEEN—A cerise-pink sport of Killarney that
for clearness and brightness of color has not been equalled;
exceptionally strong in growth, with foliage that is perfect,
being larger than Killarney and more glossy. Im size of
petals Killarney Queen is larger than its parent, and for
high-grade bloom it is a very superior variety. Forces fine.
Price, 25 cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents each.

LADY ALICE STANLEY—This, I predict, will become very
popular as a garden Rose. The petals are shell-shaped,
forming a perfect flower; the color on outside of petals is a
deep coral-rose; inside, delicate flesh, often flushed and suf-
fused with bright flesh. Remarkably attractive, without
doubt; a magnificent Rose. Awarded gold medal. Price, 25
cents each; two-year-old, 50 cents each.

LIEUTENANT CHAURE—Bud long and pointed; color velvety-
crimson, opening to large flowers of crimson-red, shaded
garnet; flowers of great depth and nicely cupped form; flow-
ers very freely produced and deliciously fragrant. In every
way a grand Rose. Price, 25 cents each.

MARY COUNTESS OF ILCHESTER—In the opinion of many
expert rosarians this must be classed as one of the finest

novelties. Mr. Roger Murphey, who has worked with Roses
for the past forty years, says: ‘“‘This Rose has come to
stay. After trying out all the novelties of the past five

years, I place the Countess Mary first.”” The color is unique
and distinct, being a warm crimson-carmine, a shade diffi-
cult to describe; of great size, with large, smooth, circular
petals, deliciously scented. Simply grand. Price, 25 cents
each; two-year-old, 50 cents each.

MANUEL P. AZEVEDO—The introducers say:
large double, upright flower of an ideal form. Color fiesh
cerise-red, with waxlike petals. This first-class novelty has
the hardiness and splendid form of Ulrich Brunner and is as
free-blooming as Etoile de France, one of the first and fin-
est blooming in the Rose garden. A new, rare and inva-
Tiable color; sweetly perfumed.’”? Mr. Frank Good, the
eminent rosarian, says: ‘‘This Rose has come to stay; it
has already made for itself a place that is secure.” Price,
35 cents each.

MELODY—A most charming and decidedly beautiful Rose,
which attracted the attention of all visitors to my Rose gar-
dens during the past summer because of its marvelous free-
blooming qualities. The blooms are of good size; the color
is an intense, pure, deep saffron-yellow, with primrose edges,
a delightful color harmony. A Rose of the highest merits.

“A splendid

Price, 20 cents each; two-year-old, 40 cents each.

Special Offer

“By its marvel- -

I have picked the following fifteen sorts as the very best. Any of them will enrich your collection.

i) We eee Be
Queen of Colors.

Farbenkoenigin, or

MISS CYNTHIA FORD—This Rose possesses in a superlative
degree the essential point of an ideal garden Rose, viz.,
form, brightness, vigor and habit. In color it is a deep
brilliant rose-pink, very large, perfectly formed and very
full. It is sweetly perfumed and lasts a long time in good
condition. Gold medal, National Rose Society. Price, 20
cents each; two-year-old, 40 cents each.

MRS.. CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON—Is a Rose of great
beauty and distinctness. The flowers are produced in won-
derful profusion; the blooms are large, full and of globular
form; the petals smooth, circular and of great substance;
color deep crimson-pink on front of petals, crayoned deep
crimson-carmine on the reverse side, a warm color that
lights up well when held in varied positions of light; very
highly perfumed. Price, 25 cents each; two-year-old, 50
cents each.

MRS. EDWARD J. HOLLAND—The color is a beautiful deep
salmon-rose, shaded lighter towards the edges; perfect in
both shape and form, with an unusually high pointed cen-
ter. The petals are of great substance and beautifully ar-
ranged, forming a model flower of exquisite beauty, because
of the marvellous freedom with which it produces its blooms
throughout the whole season. Will prove one of the finest
and most striking garden Roses yet produced. Price, 25
cents eaeh; two-year-old, 50 cents each. <

PHARISAER—This is a great Rose, but has: not been offered
to any extent in this country. There is never a Rose exhi-
bition in England that this Rose does not have to be taken
into account. The color is a rosy-white, shaded salmon;
large, full and well formed; very free blooming. Price, 20
cents each; two-year-old, 40 cents each.

SUNBURST—This magnificent giant yellow Rose is a fine
forcer; it stands head and shoulders above all others of its
color and will rank with American Beauty and the Killar-
neys in value and grandeur. It has long, pointed buds,
which can be cut tight for market. The color is orange-
copper or golden-orange and golden-yellow; edge of petals
lighter; all intense shades, extremely brilliant in effect.
Belongs in the class of big Roses; has created a sensation
wherever shown. Price, 35 cents each; two-year-old, 75
cents each.

The Fifteen Best New Roses, costing $3.90, sent for a remittance of $3.00.
In Two-Year Plants, the 11 as named, costing $5.70, sent for a remittance of $4.75.

der of Gloire de Dijon.

FRANCES E. WILLARD—The grandest of all white Roses.
Large, full flower; snow white.

GAINSBOROUGH —I am proud of the fact that I intro-
duced this Rose. Its delicate coloring is difficult to describe,
being delicately tinged fawn, almost white and lustrous as
satin. When in full bloom it resembles a large, fine, white
fluffy Peony, but without a suggestion of stiffness, often
measuring eight to nine inches in diameter. An enthusias-
tic admirer from the state of Oregon describes it as a Rose
reminding him of a beautiful girl wearing a light colored
Gainsborough hat, ornamented with white ostrich plumes,
hence the suggestion of its name. Be sure and try this Rose.

GLOIRE DE DIJON—Color buff, with orange center; very large
and very double and full; the first to flower, and keeps on
until the very last; the hardiest of any of the Tea Roses,

JAMES SPRUNT—Deep cherry-red; very double and hardy.

LAMARQUE—White shaded lemon; large, very sweet scented.

MAMIE—A Rose that has been out for some time, but in the
shuffle became lost. It has so many points of great excel-
lence that I have resurrected it, and I predict that be-
fore many moons have rolled around it will be planted
largely. It is a strong grower with buds and flowers of the
largest and most perfect shape and form. The color is ex-
quisite, being a delicate fawn with heart of pink. One of
the most beautiful of ligkt colored Roses. Don’t forget this
Rose. It will make a place for itself among the leaders.
Since the above was written a couple of years ago, the de-
mand for this Rose has exceeded my facilities for producing
it. lt is simply in a class by itself. Price, 15 cents each.

PILAR OF GOLD—The blooms are double
to the center, of the largest size, and
come in immense bouquets of from five to
ten blooms on a single branch, and the
effect throughout the blooming season is

tuby-red suffused with golden-yellow, is a
happy combination.

REINE MARIE HENRIETTE—Deep cherry- |

ZELIA PRADEL—tLemon-yellow changing to creamy-white;

MISCELLANEOUS ROSES

AMOENA (The Pink Flowering Cherokee Rose)—This won-
derfully beautiful Laevigata or Cherokee Rose was raised
in California, and it will sweep the state like wild fire when
it is once known. The flowers are the same as the white
flowering Cherokee, except that the color is a glowing pink
with golden-yellow center. Resembles huge apple blossoms.
Stock scarce. I have a fine lot. Price, 15 cents; twos
year-old. 50 cents.

fine. The foliage of this Rose is very distinct.

famous Cherokee Rose so well known in Caitifornia. Large,
pure white flowers with center filled with golden-yellow
anthers.

MICROPHYLLA ALBA—A most vigorous grower; very hardy;
bears semi-double flowers of a creamy-white. This is the
Rose Keystone you hear so much about.

tirely hardy, bearing beautiful silvery-pink flowers in clus-
ters. This Rose is in bloom all the time. Extra fine for
nurseryman. Price, {5 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

lutely hardy everywhere. Splendid for hedging cemetery

sia, except color of blooms is sulphur-yellow. Price, 15
cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

MOSS ROSES

These are probably a sport of the Cabbage Rose. The origin
of the double Moss Rose is left to conjecture. They have al-
ways been favorites, for what can be more elegant than the

lutely refuse to root from cuttings.

ARTHUR R. GOODWIN—This is a genuine “Pernetiana,’’ and
is perfectly hardy everywhere. The color is coppery orange-
red passing to salmon-pink as the flowers expand. A su-
perb combination of color; flowers medium to large and
full. Should prove a most valuable Rose. As this variety
grows from, cuttings, I offer it on its own roots. Price,
35 cents; two-year-old, 75 cents.

JULIET—A very distinct and attractive novelty, blooming both
in summer and autumn. Strong, vigorous growth, with
large and very double flowers; ouside of petals old gcld;
interior rich rosy-red, changing to deep rose as the flow-
ers expand. Of powerful and delicious fragrance. Has
been universally admired wherever exhibited. A _ variety
which is bound to create a sensation. Price, two-year
budded plants, only $1.00.

LYON ROSE—(Named in honor of the city of Lyons, France,
where these Roses were given to the world.) Pronounced
by experts to be the most important introduction of mod-
ern times. Flowers large, full and double, of remarkable
substance; shrimp-pink, edges coral-red or salmon-pink,
shaded chrome-yellow; exceedingly fragrant and perfectly
hardy. Has been awarded the highest prizes at the many ex™
hibitions in Europe. Price, two-year budded plants, $1.00,

I cannot supply these on their own roots, as they abso-

I can only supply budded plants that we import.

RAYON D’OR—(Rays of Gold.) This is the Rose that won the
gold medal awarded by the city of Paris at the international
exhibition of new Roses heid at Bagatelle in 1907 and 1909.
It has taken prizes of honor at a number of other’ places.
Entirely hardy. Rayon d’Or is indisputably the deepest of
all the yellow colored Roses in existence. The bud is oval
shaped, coppery-orange, streaked with brilliant scarlet bars.
The open flowers are large, full, of fine globular form. Col-
or on first opening superb cadmium-yellow. When fully ex-
panded the color is a deep, brilliant sunflower-yellow,
which does not fade. Produces its flowers in great profu-
sion, and revels in all weathers. When massed it forms
the most glowing decoration of the garden. An incompar-
able yellow Rose. Price, two-year budded plants, $1.50.

SOLIEL D’OR—(Golden Sun.) This Rose is the first of a new
race unique in habit of growth and color. The flowers are
large and globular, very full, the center petals well incurved,

red. Deliciously fragrant. Very hardy and free-blooming,

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES

NEWER VARIETIES

The first Hybrid Perpetuals were grown from crosses between Hybrid China and Tea Scented Roses with Gallica and Boure-

bon Roses.

This is a beautiful class and cannot be too highly recommended, including, as it does, many of the hardiest early

and late flowering kinds, and nearly all of the superb rich crimson red and pink varieties which make such pleasing contrasts

to the yellow and white Teas. :

AMERICAN BEAUTY—Not a_ new
Rose, but a great favorite with ev-
erybody. It is the largest of all
red Roses. Always scarce. We
have a fine stock. Price, 25 cents;
two-year-old, 50 cents.

AVOCA — Brilliant velvety-crimson
with large smooth petals and high
pointed center; buds very long;
flowers of largest size and sweetly
perfumed. Awarded gold medal of
National Rose Society of England.
This is catalogued abroad as a
Hybrid Tea; in America it is a
Hybrid Perpetual. Price, 20 cents;
two-year-old, 40 cents.

BARBAROSSA (The Red Frau Karl
Druschki.) A noteworthy new Hy-
brid Perpetual that has jumped
into favor in a very short time. It
is very large and full; color a
brilliant tone of pure carmine-red ;
very free bloomer, and deliciously
fragrant. Price, 20 cents each;
two-year-old, 50 cents.

CONRAD FERDINAND MEYER—
This Rose has Rugosa blood in
its make up and is classed by
some as a Hybrid Rugosa; it’s
the best Hybrid Perpetual you
have ever known. This is a grand
Rose, a vigorous grower, and -free
bloomer; flowers large, perfectly
double, cup-shaped. Color deep,
bright, vivid, intense pink, with
the penetrating fragrance of the
old June Roses. I have grown
this Rose for four years, in sec-
tions of the country from Canada
to the Gulf, and I have no hesi-
taney in saying after the most
thorough and rigid test that a Rose
can be put to that this Rose is in
every respect just what I claim
for it. That is, the very best all
around Rose ever introduced: by
anyone, and to this I make not
a single exception. It grows vig-
orously, it blooms freely, is abso-
lutely hardy, flowers of the largest
size; the form is perfect, the color-
ing unequaled and the fragrance
delicious. Can you ask more?
‘Price, 25 cents; two-year-old, 50
cents.

CAPTAIN HAYWARD—This_ Rose
ranks up at the top of the list.
Mr. Crowell, the noted rosarian,
claims for this the very best of all
red Hybrids. Color deep glowing
crimson, very bright and rich, of
the largest size. We know of no
red hybrid that in any way com-
pares with. it. Price, 20 cents '
each, two-year-old, 50 cents.

DUC DE ROHAN—This is a grand Rose, the flowers are very
large and of symmetrical form, somewhat globular, very full
and extremely fragrant; the color is a clear dazzling bright
red, free bloomer, certainly a prize winner. Price, 20 cents
each; two-year-old, 50 cents.

EUGENE FURST—In this Rose we have one of the most dis-
tinct and valuable additions to our garden Roses that has
been made in many years. It is large and full, fine form.
Color deep red shaded crimson. Profuse bloomer. A most
charming and superbly grand Rose. Price, 20 cents each;
two-year-old, 50 cents.

HIS MAJESTY—The Crimson Frau Karl Druschki. Another
Rose classed by some as a Hybrid Tea. Dark deep crim-
son, shaded deep vermillion-crimson towards the edges. The
blooms are full, of great size, having wonderful substance

of the sweetest perfumed Roses in cultivation. Awarded

Price, 25 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

MRS. STEWART CLARK—Color varying from bright cerise-

Gold medal, N. R. S. Price, 25 cents; two-year-old, 50
cents.

NOVA ZEMBLA—A sport from Conrad F. Meyer, inheriting all
the good qualities of its parent with the added merit that

Hardy Climbing Roses uv:

INCLUDING THE RAMBLERS, CL. POLYANTHAS and WICHURAIANA.

These Roses are suitable for planting where they can climb on walls, fences, galleries, porches, pillars, pergolas, arches,
etc.; in fact, wherever a hardy climber is required. This list includes the Ramblers, Climbing Polyanthas, Wichuraianas, ete.

AMERICAN PILLAR — Climbing
Polyantha. A new single flower-
ing Rose with blooms two to three
inches across, borne in immense
clusters. Color lovely apple-blos-
som-pink with bright golden sta-
mens followed in autumn with red
hips. A great Rose to grow in pots
for Easter. Price, 15 cents; two-
year-old, 40 cents.

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY—
Climbing H. P. A seedling from
American Beauty with Wichur-
aiana and Tea blood in its veins.
The introducers say of it: “Same
color, size and fragrance as Amer-
ican Beauty, with the addition of
the climbing habit. Good foliage,
and better blooming qualities.
One plant of this new Rose will
produce twenty times as many
flowers in June as the old Ameri-
can Beauty, besides blooming oc-
easionally during the summer.
Blooms three to four inches
across; has proved perfectly hardy
and stands heat and drought as
well as any Rose in our collec-
tion.” I feel sure this Rose has
a great future. 25 cents; two-
year-old, 50 cents.

CLIMBING BABY RAMBLER —
Climbing Polyantha. This is a
true ever-blooming Crimson Ram-
bler, for at this writing (August
1st) it is in full bloom in the
garden with enormous heads of
Tichest crimson. There has been a
widespread demand for a Crimson
Rambler that would bloom more
than once. Here you have _ it.
Everyone knows how Baby Ram- Aa:
bler is always in bloom. This is simply a climbing form
of :the Baby Rambler, embracing all its good qualities.
Price, 20 cents; two-year-old, 40 cents.

DR. W. VAN FLEET—Wichuraiana. Flowers when open run
four inches and over in diameter. The center is buiit high,
petals beautifully undulated and cupped. The color is a re-
markable delicate shade of flesh-pink on the outer surface,
deepening to rosy-flesh in the center. The flowers are full
and double, of delicate perfume; buds pointed. It very much
resembles Souy. de Pres. Carnot in color. Superb. Price,
20 cents; two-year-old, 40 cents.

FLOWER OF FAIRFIELD—This is a much heralded ever-
blooming Crimson Rambler; deep crimson in immense clus-
ters. Price, 15 cents; two-year-old, 30 cents.

GOLDFINCH—Buds deep yellow, opening lemon-white, semi-
double, borne in large trusses. 20c; two-year-old, 40c.

GRAF ZEPPELIN—Climbing Polyantha. A brilliant rose col-
ored flower that attracts from a great distance; vigor of
Crimson Rambler. Cupped form; double. In immense
trusses; unusually floriferous. This Rose is unsurpassed as
a climber. Price, 25 cents.

HIAWATHA—This is a great favorite to force in pots for
Easter. Brilliant scarlet-white at base of petals; flowering in
large clusters most brilliant and effective. Price, 25 cents;
two-year-old, 50 cents.

RED DOROTHY PERKINS—(Excelsa.) It is a good deal to
claim for a Rose, but I am within bounds when I de-
scribe Excelsa as a brilliant Crimson Rambler flower on
glossy, varnished Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crim-
son Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable weath-
er, and its defoliation by insects; the infusion of Wichu-
Taiana blood assures an ornamental climber which is nearly
evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlct
pillar Rose a place in every American garden, for it is
quite hardy in addition to all its other fine points. If you
want the best red climbing Rose, plant Red Dorothy Per-
kins. Price, 25 cents; two-year-old, 50 cents.

Red Dorothy Perkins.

MRS. F. W. FLIGHT—Beautiful pink with white center; semi-
double, large trusses; lovely. Price, 20 cents.

TAUSENDSCHOEN or THOUSAND BEAUTIES—A climbing
Rose that comes to us from Germany. The flowers upon
first opening are the most delicate shade of pink ever
seen in a Rose, might be described as a white delicately
flushed pink changing to rosy-carmine. It gets its name
from its many flowers and the variation in coloring; beauti-
ful; will become as famous as Crimson Rambler or Dorothy
Perkins. I wrote the above a year ago, and now I can
add that this Rose is sweeping the country like a prairie
fire. You can word paint all you want to and then you will
have left something unsaid. Simply a wonder. Price, 20
cents; two-year-old, 40 cents.

VEILCHENBLAU, The Blue Rose—The most wonderful Rose
of the century for the reason that it marks a decided ad-
vance in the color of the Rose hitherto only dreamed of.
Veilchenblau or Violet Blue is the proper name, but no
doubt it will be known in America as the Blue Rose. This
Rose is. going to have a larger sale by far than Crimson
Rambler. Have I seen it flower? Well, I guess yes, and
my word for it if you want something to cause you to stop
and take notice, the Blue Rose will fill the bill. At a dis-
tance of fifty or a hundred feet a bush of the Blue Rose in
full bloom will startle you. A seedling from Crimson Rambler,
‘semi-double flowers larger than that variety, produced in
large trusses. This Rose first opens pink, but quickly
changes to violet-blue. The introducer describes it as being
reddish-lilac, changing to amethyst and steel blue. Very
distinct and extremely pleasing. A wonder. Price, 20 cents;
three for 50 cents; two-year-old, 40 cents.

WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS—(B. R. Cant, 1908.) It has
been the cry of nurserymen for years for a white climber
that would rank up with Crimson Rambler, and now I
have the pleasure of offering this White Dorothy Perkins
that in every way is the equal, if not superior, to Crim-
son Rambler as a red, and Dorothy Perkins as a _ pink.
This Rose has no rival as a white climber. Price, 20
cents; two-year-old, 40 cents.

POLYANTHA OR BABY RAMBLER ROSES
Newer Varieties

entire plant with bloom. The plants are splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders, as they are hardy.

“

JESSIE—This new Baby Rambler is an ideal
Rose for massing, bedding or for pot culture.

dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded habit
and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Ge-

ranium-pink with distinct showy center of
pure white; florets not crowded, but of beau-
tiful arrangement, making as a whole a
charming combination that cannot be beaten.
The color is irresistible. The plant grows
like a weed and the flowers are nearly
“immortelle’” in their lasting qualities. I
believe that they will outlast almost any
other Rose in existence with their stiff paper-
like texture. This pretty Rose has taken
Europe by storm and will make a sensation
as soon as known in this country. Awarded
gold medal. Price, 25 cents; two-year-old,

The wonderful improvement made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants has brought them into re-
newed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest Roses in size, form and color, are produced in great abun-
dance. After once being planted they require little care and attention, thrive anywhere, and are absolutely hardy even in the
coldest climates; each year after planting they grow into greater value, producing more and more flowers. They are not trou-
ble@ with insect pests. Try some of my fine Peonies, and see what grand flowers they are. Get it out of your head that
there are only Red, White and Pink Peonies to illustrate at flowering time. People who visit my field will say, “I have Pink
and White Peonies. I desire only Red ones,” but when they are shown the Pink and White, they invariably exclaim, “How
grand! I have none like them.” There is as much difference in Peonies as there is in Roses.

PEONIES DESCRIBED

ALBERT CROUSSE—Immense, very full, convex bloom, as
perfect in outline and contour as a Show or Fancy Dahlia
fiower. The petals are imbricated like a Carnation, and
overlap each other. The color is best described as an even,
delicate, sea-shell pink, an unusual shade for a Peony, and
is unapproached in this regard by any other variety. This
grand Peony has all the points of excellence. A most
striking flower. Price, 75 cents.

AMERICAN BEAUTY—Very brilliant crimson, full, double
flowers on wiry stems; coloring is wonderfully rich and
brilliant. This is known as the American Beauty Peony on
account of the resemblance in color to the Rose of that
name. Good cut flower, red. Price, 50 cents.

ASA GRAY—Large, full imbricated; rose-formed bloom; guard
petals salmon-flesh; center very full and perfectly formed;
color lilac sprinkled with minute dots of deeper lilac; strik-
ing, imposing and beautiful. No Peony produces more flow-
ers; fragrant and distinct. Price, 75 cents.

AVALANCHE—Avalanche, in my estimation, is one of the
finest Peonies grown. Large, convex bloom of perfect form;
eolor milk-white with cream-colored center; has ruby-col-
ored markings of rare delicacy and beauty on some of its
petals. A superb Peony. None better. Price, 75 cents-

BALL OF SNOW —Large cup-shaped bloom of good substance
and perfect form. Color white with sulphur center, bor-
dered carmine; erect, tall grower; fine cut flower variety ;
follows Festiva Maxima. Price, 50 cents.

BERLIOZ—Enormous, full, globular, imbricated bloom, bright
currant-red center tinted rose, and shaded with amaranth.
The petals are distinctly tipped silver. A very showy and
beautiful Peony. Price, 50 cents.

CANAR!—Primary petals white, flushed pink with deep prim-
pose, yoo center; sweetly fragrant; tall grower. Price,

cents.

CROWN OF GOLD—This is the famous Crown of Gold; im-
mense, fine shaped bloom; color, snow-white, reflecting
golden-yellow, with a circle of golden stamens showing
through the petals, lighting up the whole flower, and which
suggests the name; delicate carmine edges on a few central
petals. The attainment of perfection in Peonies. Price,

cents.

DUCHESSE DE NEMOURS—Blooms several days after Festiva
Maxima. Superb cup-shaped, sulphur-white flowers with
greenish reflex that lights up the entire flower; gradually
changes to a pure snow-white without spot or blemish. In
all Peonies there is nothing so exquisitely chaste and beau-
tiful as this variety in the half open bud state. In growth it
is entirely distinct, being upright and branching. Certainly a
grand Peony. Price, 35 cents.

DUKE OF WELLINGTON—Two rows of large, broad, guard
petals of pure snow white. Center of flower sulphur-white.
The flower is of enormous size. Our three-year plants will
measure eight inches. It is pyramidal in shape. A flower
you will never forget. Price, 50 cents.

EXCELSIOR—Bright, rich, deep, crimson of velvety texture.
One of the best of the red Pecnies. “Price, 35 cents.

FELIX CROUSSE—AIl Peony enthusiasts are familiar with
the fact that it is difficult to get a red Peony that is a self
color; that is to say, a full, rich, even shade of red without
being suffused with violet, purple or crimson shades. Felix
Crousse fills the bill. Its large, globular flowers, solid and
compactly built from edge to center, are a rich, even, bril-
liant, dazzling ruby-red. Exceptionally fiery, bright and ef-
fective. Both the color and size is startling. I place this
in the front rank of all the red Peonies. As a general pur-
pose red none better. Price, 75 cents.

Peony, La Tulipe.

PEONIES DESCRIBED—Continued

EDULIS SUPERBA—Beautiful brilliant pink, with silvery re-
flex; large, well-formed, full flower on strong stem; blooms
early with Festiva Maxima, and is a good sort to plant with
that variety. Price, 35 cents.

FESTIVA MAXIMA—This is not only the finest white in ex-
istence, but many regard it as the queen of all the Peonies.
Mr. Harrison says: ‘‘This flower has reached the ultimate
beyond which we cannot go. Here at the door stands Fes-
tiva Maxima, white as the soul of the Madonna, with now
and then a blood drop, as though the iron had sometime en-
tered her heart. What a marvelous flower!’’ It combines
enormous size with wondrous beauty; often seven to eight
inches in diameter. Clear carmine spots on edge of center
petals. For over sixty years it has held first rank, and is
still the standard of perfection by which all other Peonies
are judged. Price, 50 cents.

FLORAL TREASURE—Very large, full flowers of clear, even
pink, shading lighter at the center; very delicate color. “A
splendid hemisphere of fragrant loveliness.” Long stems up-
hold the big, handsome blooms. Almost seven inches across ;
a most unique and charming variety. Fine for cut flowers.
Price, 50 cents.

GIGANTEA—Enormous flowers six to seven inches across on
long stems; color the most exquisite shade of bright pink,
tipped with silvery-white, reflecting a silvery sheen; deli-
ciously fragrant. Fully as effective for decorative purposes
as the largest and showiest Chrysanthemum. Gigantea is a
ravishingly beautiful wild flower. A wonder. Price, 75c.

GOLDEN HARVEST—A most striking variety producing large,
tricolored bfbom. The guard petals are blush-pink with
creamy-white center; center of flower overlaid and tipped
with carmine. It combines cream, gold, white, pink, salmon,
peach and apricot, the total color effect of the flower being
creamy-pink; strong, delicate fragrance. Mr. Harrison says:
“Tt breaks out into a wild, rollicking prodigality of beauty
with its large flowers as to almost smother the plant so great
is their profusion. We all take off our hats as they pass
by and cheer for beauty.’”’ Price, 75 cents.

HUMEI—Very large, compact flower that is quite striking;
color, cherry-pink, highly cinnamon scented. This is an old
standby, being used largely for cut flowers. Price, 35 cents.

JENNY LIND—Large bloom on long stems; tall grower; free
bloomer; color light pink with silvery reflex with narrow
white petals interspersed with the center petalage; a most
striking variety. Price, 50 cents.

Peony, Marie Lemoine.

LADY DERBY—A very iall, strong growing plant, bearing
flowers of gigantic size, very double and full, borne in im-
mense clusters; color pure white overlaid with a flush of
delicate pink, tinged yellow at the base of the petals. A
plant of this Peony in full bloom will startle you, and is a
sight never to be forgotten; extra fine. Price, 75 cents.

LADY LEONORA BRAMWELL—Very large, full, compact
flowers; uniform color of bright violet rose, with silvery-
Teflex that is very brilliant; has an occasional carmine spot
on central petalage. Don’t forget this one. Price, 50 cents.

Peony, Monsieur Jules Elie.
(See description on page 16.)

LA TULIPE—Enormous, globular, fragrant flowers, delicate
blush-white, shading to ivory-white, with red tulip mark-
ings on outside of guard petals. Again we quote Harrison:
“There is no Peony .so attractive in bud as this. First a
ball interlaced with green, red and white. As it grows
these interlacings become pronounced. There is no bloom
whose unfoldings you watch with greater interest. It finally
opens a solid ball of softest blush with streaks of carmine.
There it sits in all its beauty, a glorious flower in a chalice
of veined marble, emitting a delightful perfume.’’ Price,
75 cents.

LEVIATHAN—Flowers of remarkable size and freshness in
huge clusters, full and double, of unusual perfection of
form. Color, apple blossom-pink, with each petal silver
tipped. Fragrance agreeable and penetrating; magnificent.
Price, 50 cents.

LOUIS VAN HOUTTE—Very fine, shapely bloom. Color,
eee ceoue -red of dazzling effect; superb. Price,
35 cen

MADAME DE VERNEVILLE—Bomb type, early. One of the

most charming varieties on the market. Guard petals are
pure white, very large and folding over the flower; the
blooms are very full and double, of the purest white suffused
with daintiest blush except a few cream-colored petals and
four red flakes on central petals; exceptionally free. I
have counted sixty-five large, perfect blooms on one plant
open at the same time. Certainly a wonder. Price, 35 cents.

MARIE JACQUIN—What shall I say of this large, glorious
flower? Color glossy rosy-white, with rose tinge on buds,
with a great wealth of golden-yellow stamens in the center,
which gives it a very chaste and elegant appearance. When
first planted the blooms come single, but after becoming es-
tablished it is semi-double. The flowers of this charming
variety suggest our native white Water Lily; fragrance very
rich and languorous. This is quite dissimilar from all cther
Peonies and is a prime favorite with everybody, especially
the ladies. Price, 50 cents.

MARIE LEMOINE—Undoubtedly Calot’s masterpiece. The
flowers are enormous and massive. Color ivory-white with
occasional narrow carmine tracings on edge of some petals.
The gigantic blooms come very late on stout, erect stems
standing well above the foliage. A good commercial variety,
and a sort the Peony enthusiast raves over, and well he
may. Price, 75 cents.

MARIE STUART—Good sized flower; guard petals broad; col-
or soft pink, center sulphur- white with a prominent crown
flecked with crimson; fragrant. Price, 35 cents.

MASTERPIECE—Brilliant Tyrian-rose; free bloomer; a very
distinct and beautiful variety; fine grower. Price, 50 cents.

PEONIES DESCRIBED—Concluded

MONSIEUR JULES ELIE—This is the king of all Peonies, and
is without question M. Crousse’s masterpiece. Immense
globular, very full flowers. Color an ideal glossy lilac-pink,
shading to deeper rose at the base, the entire flower overlaid
with a sheen of silver that fairly shimmers in the sunlight.
Monsieur Jules Elie is the largest of all Peony flowers.
On young, vigorous plants I have had flowers eight and
nine inches through. In fact they are so large and hand-
some that but few can realize they are Peony blooms cn first
seeing them. An unapproachable variety from any stand-
point. When cut in the bud a good keeper. Price, 75 cents.

MONT BLANG—Large, perfectly formed, snowball-shaped flow-
ers; white guard petals, center sulphur-yellow; perfect
habit; foliage and growth both quite distinct; follows Fes-
tiva Maxima and ranks with it. Fine for cut flowers; very
free bloomer. The yellowest of all Peonies. Price, 35 cents.

PRINCE IMPERIAL—Flowers very double and full; color,
deep, brilliant velvety-crimson. It makes a handsome plant,
every flower standing up straight and erect well above the
foliage. I think this one of the finest Peonies, probably
the best general purpose crimson. Price, 50 cents.

QUEEN VICTORIA—The very best every-day white. When
cut a first rate keeper. Flower of good substance and col-
or; very pretty in the bud state, when it has a faint blush
tint; an old standby. Price, 35 cents.

SEA SHELL—This is one of the grandest of Peonies, a tall
grower, and is such a free bloomer that it completely hides
the plant; the coloring is so refined as to instantly arrest
attention, being a delicate, soft lilac-pink, with delicate. but
distinct rosy-pink spots difficult to de ibe. This is in every
Way a superior Peony. Price, 75 cenvs.

VICTOR HUGO—Fxtremely large, showy, perfectly built bloom:
primary petals narrow and built up close and high; color
very deep, rich, brilliant solferino-red. Indispensable.
Price, 35 cents.

VICTOIRE TRICOLORE—A tricolor bloom that has many. ad-
mirers; color a combination of rose-pink and salmon, inter-
mingled; an excellent bloomer. Price, 35 cents.

SEEDLING PEONIES

You do not know what colored flower you will get, but every
one will be handsome; many of them will be single and re-
semble huge butterflies of white, red, pink, crimson, etc., while
others will be double. Be sure and try some of these seed-
lings. Do not ask me to send any special color, as no one
knows the color until they bloom. Price, {5 cents each; two
for 25 cents; five for 50 cents; twelve for $1.00.

TREE PEONIES

This is a remarkable species, developed from Peony Mouton,
a native of China and Japan. In habit of growth it is not
unlike a deciduous shrub—the growths are short and stocky,
the plant eventually attaining a height of four or more feet
and of large circumference; the foliage is quite handsome,
and the immense flowers, which usually appear some two
weeks ahead of the herbaceous class, are most remarkable for
their immense size and gorgeous colorings. Splendid for
grouping or for specimen plants on lawns. While a hardy
plant, it will be found desirable to give it some protection in
very cold latitudes. All shoots springing from the base should

little money and care. :
0 grow and sell fifteen acres of Dahlias each year.

So-called from their resemblance to Cactus flowers. They
are charcterized by long, narrow, pointed, tubular and

ing and attractive appearance. Grand for cut flowers. Price,

amber, elegantly tinged and shaded with apricot and dark

CHARLES CLAYTON—The strongest words of praise are not
extravagant when applied to this wonderful new Cactus. It
is the ideal in color, form, length of stem and general good
habits, beyond which it would seem little could be hoped
for. The color is a most intense crimson, so vivid as to
dazzle the eye; superb. Price, 20 cents.

COUNTESS OF LONSDALE—For perfection of bloom, erect-
ness of stem, abundance of flower, this variety has never yet
been equaled. On several of the plants I have counted over
150 perfect blooms on one plant. Is there any other garden
flower that can equal it? The color is a rich salmon-pink

DECORATIVE DAHLIAS

These come next to the Cactus as a cut flower. They are
also very showy in the garden, being unusually free bloom-
ers. They are more formal in make-up than the Cactus
Dahlias, but not as formal as the show varieties, being a
happy medium between the two. Price, except where noted,
15 cents each, four for 50 cents, nine for $1.00. The entire

of this type in existence. The wonderful flowers are re-
nowned for their excellent qualities; being exceptionally
beautiful in color, perfect in form, grand in appearance and
immense in size. The color of this acquisition is remark-
able and attracts everybody’s attention. It is a superb com-
bination of brilliant scarlet and gold with an exquisite ring
of rich, clear yellow at the center. Occasionally the first
flower comes fully double, but all that follow show that
beautiful golden center which combines to make this flower
the most charming. Its form is very original, consisting of

COLLARETTE DAHLIAS

CENTURY DAHLIAS

This is an entirely new race of single Dahlias. I con-
sider today that the new Century Dahlias occupy first place
where beauty of coloring and artistic effect is desired. Owing
to their immense size, long’ stems, graceful carriage, combined
with their purity of color, or the blending of colors, shades
and tints, they entirely outclass all other Dahlias for cut

flowers. Keep each variety when cut in a separate vase.

growth and producing a plant of rare beauty and perfection in the average

dwelling house without special care or attention. Owing to
its habit of producing the great quantity of massive foliage
in small pots, this Fern makes the finest pedestal plant
ever produced, and will prove indispensable for decorating
dining room or library tables and numerous other places in
the home where limited space will not permit using large
pots or varieties with longer fronds. Fine young plants, 40
cents each, three for $1.00. Strong plants, 75 cents each,
two for $1.25. Extra strong plants, $1.00 each.

THE NEW CRESTED FERN (Nephrolepis Scholzeli.) This is
the great Crested Fern that has set all the Fern lovers to
talking. Everyone admires it and sings its praises. The
growth is bushy and compact, each pinna is crested, giving
it a distinct and unique appearance. This Fern is a model of
beauty. Fine young plants, 30 cents.

THE FLUFFY RUFFLES FERN (Nephrolepis Superbissima.)
This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its
distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage,
darker than any other Fern, its dense growth being much
more compact, and its irregular shaped fronds which gives
it the name of “‘Fluffy Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very
heavily imbricated, the pinnae overlapping and are so formed
as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the appearance of
a Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in its habit
and the fronds firm and rigid, never break down, so that it
will stand more knocking around than any other Fern. The
possessor of this new Fern has a distinct and different plant
from all the other Ferns. It is a plant that needs to be seen
to have its great value and sterling qualities appreciated.
Fine young plants, 30 cents each. Strong plants, 65 cents

each.

THE OLD ORIGINAL SWORD FERN (Nephrolepis Exaltata.)
This is the parent Sword Fern from which all the Neph-
Tolepis in. commerce sprung. The fronds are narrow, and
grow upright, making it a most useful variety on this ac-
count for centers of vases, for which purpose it is used by
the florists by the thousand. Fine young plants, 25 cents.
THE TARRYTOWN FERN (Nephrolepis Piersonii.) An en-
tirely new form of the Boston Fern. The pinnae sub-
divide, making miniature fronds which are superimposed on
the main fronds, looking as if two or even three were con-
densed in one, giving the plant a graceful, feathery and
plumy effect. This plant took the only gold medal ever
awarded by the Society of American Florists, Fine young

The Wonderful

T

HILADELPHIA LACE FERN (Nephrolepis Elegantissima.)
This without question stands in a class by itself among
Ferns. It belongs to the true Ostirch Plume type of Fern,
and has this decided advantage over the others of never re-
verting to the Boston type. Its fronds are long, graceful
and airy, resembling delicate lace. A most remarkable va-
Tiety, a perfect jewel amongst Ferns. Do not fail to get
this. Fine young plants, 25 cents. Sirong plants, 65 cents.
Extra strong plants, $1.00. .

HE NEWPORT FERN (Nephrolepis Scottii.) This Fern is
all the rage at fashionable Newport. Identical with the
Boston Fern, except it is smaller in all of its parts, and
more compact, and will make more fronds in a given length
of time. The fronds are lighter green than any of the
Nephrolepis. The plants are never straggly, always making
a shapely plant. Fine young plants, 25 cents. Strong
plants, 60 cents.

New Fern BABY’S BREATH (NEéphrolepis
Goodii.) This has the finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is
so delicate that a lady on seeing it exclaimed, “Call it the
Baby’s Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in texture that a
baby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage in motion.” It
gives the impression of fine lace work, and has been named
in the East the Philadelphia Lace Fern. It is a much finer
Fern than Nephrolepis Amerpohlii. Whatever name you call
it by, it is a beauty. My reputation for it that no Fern in
existence can compare with it in fluffiness. Fine young
plants, 35 cents. Strong plants, 75 cents each.

HE OSTRICH PLUME FERN (Nephrolepis Whitmanii.) <A
great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to everyone,
and on that account will prove a much more yaluable and
profitable plant than the Boston Fern, which has had the
most phenomenal sale of any decorative plant that has ever
been grown, but which cannot be compared to the Ostrich
Fern for beauty and general effectiveness. Everyone who
has seen it is charmed with it. As someone has expressed
it, ““There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in culti-
vation. In decorative effect it so far outdistances the orig-
inal variety that there is positively no comparison to be
made. We consider it the most valuable novelty that has
been introduced in many, many years.’”’ It has taken gold
medals wherever shown. Fine young plants, 25 cents each.
Strong plants, 65 cents each. Extra strong plants, $1.00,

BEAUTIFUL FERNS--Concluded

BOSTON OR FOUNTAIN FERN (Nephrolepis Exaltata Bos-
toniensis.) In the vicinity of Boston no other plant is so
extensively used as this graceful Nephrolepis, which differs
from the ordinary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds,
‘which frequently attain a length of six feet. These arch
and droop over very gracefully, on account of which it is
frequently called the Fountain Fern. This drooping habit
makes it an excellent plant to grow as a single specimen on
a table or pedestal. This Fern- should not be compared to
the Ostrich Plume Fern, as they are of an entirely different
growth; both have their place and both are beautiful and
desirable. Fine young plants, 20 cents. Strong plants, 50
cents. Extra strong plants, $1.00.

THE FISH TAIL FERN (Nephrolepis Davallioides Furcans.)
This is a grand Fern, entirely distinct from any of the other
varieties of Nephrolepis. Throughout the South and espe-
cially at New Orleans this Fern takes precedence over all
others. The ends of each pinna are so formed as to resem-
ble a fish tail, giving the fronds a crested appearance, very
effective. It grows into the most shapely plant of any of
the Nephrolepis. Grand for house culture. Fine young
plants, 35 cents each. ;

THE SILVER FERN (Pteris Argyrea.) This is called the Sil-
ver Fern from the broad line of silvery-white that runs
through each frond. A most beautiful Fern. Price, 20c.

THE SHAKING FERN (Pteris Tremula.) The foliage of this

variety is fine and graceful, and is much sought after. It
grows rapidly and soon makes a handsome plant. Price, 20c.

CARNATION PINKS The Divine Flower

For beauty of flower and color, ease of culture, certainty and freedom of bloom, together with exquisite fragrance, this is
well called the ‘“‘Divine Flower.” Plants in the open ground or in pots quickly make large specimens, and when brought in-
doors in the fall produce an abundance of flowers throughout the entire winter. Carnation blooms are expensive; don’t buy
them—grow them yourself. Pinch the plant back frequently during the summer season. In the fall bring -indoors, place in a
four or five-inch pot, keep in a temperature of forty to fifty degrees at night, and they will yield an immense number of flow-
ers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold by florists. If not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the summer.
I offer the finest varieties in existence. Your order is incomplete without some Carnations.

uma chocenew MOnthly Carnations

Price, 10 cents each; any three of your selection for 25 cents.
This Novelty Collection of seven Monthly ever-blooming
Carnation Pinks, 50 cents.

ADONIS—Another grand new variety so distinct that it stands
alone. Awarded the Lawson Gold Medal, also the S. A. F.
Medal at the Carnation Society’s convention. The flowers
measure three and one-half inches when well grown. Long,
strong stems, two to three feet. A healthy, vigorous grower.
But its color—a glowing scarlet-crimson, intense and fiery
with its rich ox-blood shadings, far and away beyond all
other Carnations.

ENCHANTRESS—tThe Great $10,000 Beauty. The great for-
ward stride in Carnations is made more manifest in this than
in any other since the advent of the Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son. It was raised by the same grower, and he pronounces
Enchantress superior to it. The flowers are three and one-
half to four inches across when well grown. The eolor is a
superb shade of rosy blush-pink.

GAIETY—Color pure white, with a few narrow pink pencil-
ings about the edge and through the flower. Size large and
full, form very round and symmetrical. One of the best pro-
ducers, beginning to bloom early and continuing throughout
the season without intermission.

HER MAJESTY—Purity of color fairly glistens all over this
flower. Form is simply perfect, size larger than any other
white, stem the strongest and about thirty inches long. It
is bound to become the standard white for both winter and
summer blooming, as it will start blooming July 1st and
continue until the same time a year later.

LADY BOUNTIFUL—Largest flowers of the purest immaculate
white ; large-sized blooms. Valuable for garden planting and
for pot culture. Very sweetly scented with that delightful
old-fashioned clove fragrance.

New Fancy Carnation, PROSPERITY—This is the largest Car-
nation ever offered. It is a wonderfully free bloomer, con-
sidering the monster size the flowers attain. White, over-
laid with pink, in mottles reminding one of the beautiful
tints seen in Azaleas. .

The Sensational Carnation, MRS. THOS. W. LAWSON—The
grandest pink Carnation, a true exhibition variety. Bloom
large and spreading, stem stiff; a good grower. All newcom-
ers will have to meet comparison with the Lawson. Very
free for so large a flower. The Lawson is the queen of a
class all her own, just as American Beauty is among Roses.
No grower can afford to be without it. Thirty thousand dol-
lars was paid for this variety; highest price ever paid for
any flower.

Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums

These beautiful varieties are again very popular for outdoor bedding purposes. They are quite hardy, and with but a slight
covering of leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter will take ‘care of themselves after once planted, and produce an
abundant, almost lavish, profusion of bloom; and the plants lend a coloration to the garden just at a time when other plants
have been destroyed by-frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently
happen that an armful of flowers can be cut after a sharp frost. Price, 15 cents each.

suggested for this grand
plant to properly convey to
the mind the appearance of
it. Some have called it the
“Christmas Tree Palm,”
from its resemblance to a
Christmas tree ; others
have called it the “Star

are arranged to form a
perfect star, but no descrip- *
tive name can give an ade-
quate idea of its beauty.
It has deep green, feathery
foliage, arranged in whorls,
rising one above the other
at regular distances. Its

and beauty of foliage are
unequaled in the vegetable

much more graceful—its foliage being finer than that of the
most delicate Fern—and will last for weeks after being cut,

pinching back may be grown as a plant. Price, 10 cents

for planting in baskets or vases. The fronds are frequently
four feet long, of a rich shade of green, and most useful for
cutting, retaining their freshness for weeks after being cut.

Here is a plant for the masses. It grows easily, blooms
freely, and the flower is something to be proud of. The Brug-
mansia blooms indoors in winter and in the garden in summer.
The plant has large, tropical leaves, with blooms eight inches
long by six inches wide at the mouth, resembling a trumpet,
hence the name, “‘Angel’s Trumpet.’’ Pure white in color and
as fragrant as a Jasmine. Blooming plants, 25 cents each.

COLEUS

I have a collection ‘of thirty kinds of the most distinct
sorts. Leave the selection of varieties to me, as it is hard to
describe the various tints.

Price, 5 cents each, any six for 25 cents, any twelve for 50
cents; twenty-five distinct varieties for $1.00. :

These are all good bedders, standing the hot sun without
losing their color. Price of Coleus by the hundred when sent
by express, $3.00, you to pay the expressage.

New Giant Fancy-Leaved Coleus, Christmas Gem,

(Brilliancy, or Dr. Ross.)

Leaves immense, eight to twelve inches long, looks like a
Rex Begonia, and just as beautiful. Cannot be excelled as a
pot plant. The name aptly describes the appearance of this
variety, which belongs to the giant-leaved section; of strong,
vigorous habit, growing from two to three feet high, with
leaves often nine to ten inches long, which are of bright car-
mine, shading off to a deep maroon, the margin being yellow
and green, the whole leaf having a rich velvety luster. Price,

cents each. CROTONS

Nothing can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that
is found in this class of plants. They are beautiful pot plants
for the conservatory, making very handsome specimens for deco-
rative and exhibition purposes. They are used extensively as
bedding plants, for which purpose they are exceptionally well
adapted. They should be planted in full sun, in a position
where they can be more liberally supplied with water, which
develops the most wonderful coloring in the foliage. Undoubt-
edly the most interesting and showiest bedding in our Spring-
field yards the past few years was made with this plant. They
are fine for basket or vase work. Where I used to sell doz-
ens I now ship thousands. Leave the selection of varieties
to me. I can supply twelve choice kinds. Fine plants, 12
cents each, three for 30 cents, $1.00 per dozen.

CAMELLIA JAPONICA

Camellia is considered the queen flower of the South, and
is called the “‘Japonica.’’ During the month of May immense
trees can be seen in full bloom, making the most gorgeous
sights to behold. Their dark, shiny leaves contrast beauti-
fully with the waxy-like blooms, which come in pink, white,
rose, carmine and variegated shades. No garden is complete
without them, as they are also quite hardy in the Southern
States and require no protection or care. They are called the
Royal Family of greenhouse plants. Time of blooming is in
winter and in early spring. Requires a moderate and uniform
temperature, with as little artificial heat as possible. When
set with flower buds great care must be taken in watering—
when left too dry the buds are sure to drop. I offer splen-
did plants, bushy, well-grown specimens, and all in splendid
health. The varieties are the best extant, the pick of a conti-
nental collection. Plants two to two and one-half feet high,
$1-00 each; the set of twelve distinct kinds for $10.00; any
four for $3.75. All my Camellias are double-flowered. I
can supply fifteen sorts other than the twelve named at same

so airy and graceful as these blossoms of large white petals

BLACK PRINCE—This is, without question, the very finest
Fuchsia grown for the amateur to cultivate. It makes" a
shapely bush, is robust in growth, free from disease and in-
sects, and is probably the freest in blooming. I have seen
specimen plants six feet in height and four feet across loaded
with thousands of bright buds and blossoms of a beautiful
waxy carmine or pink color. Certainly a plant of easy cul-
ture. Price, 15 cents.

ENFANT PRODIGY—A grand Fuchsia ; bright red sepals, deep
purple corolla. d
New Fuchsia MARY—A most wonderful plant novelty, foliage
is long and pointed, of a bronzy green. Its greatness lies in
the fact that the flowers are different from any other Fuch-
sia, being fully three inches long, of the richest scarlet col-
or. Comes in big clusters. My word for it this plant will
not only startle you, but will please you as well. Price, 20

liant carmine; it blooms quite freely.

tional Flower Show at Boston last year. A great favorite
with English growers, one London grower known to me hand-
ling over thirty thousand of this variety alone. Price, 35
cents; large size, 65 cents.

MLLE. RENEE GAILLARD—Very large panicles of milky-
white, irregularly dentated flowers, which is certain to be-

_lere last year as the best white. Price, 40 cents; large size,
75 cents.

New Pink Hibiscus “‘Peachblow’”’

This is a sport from the double red Hibiscus Rosea Sinensis.

The flowers are double and from four to five inches in di-
ameter, of a charming, rich, clear pink color, with small, deep
crimson center. It is one of the freest flowering plant novel-
ties recently offered. The color is an entirely new and beau-
tiful shade, and it blooms abundantly and continuously dur-
ing the summer and fall months. Large plants two and three
years old make a magnificent show. It will give general sat-
isfaction to those who grow it, either in pots or planted out
in the garden. It blooms well in the winter in the greenhouse
or in any sunny window. Price, 15 cents each; strong, fine
plants, 30 cents each. 3

Price, 10 cents each, any three for 25 cents. | have large
plants of Hibiscus, ready to bloom, for 25 cents each. These

SINENSIS GIGANTEUS—This is a plant for house cultivation
during winter or summer, or for planting outside during sum-
mer. It blooms at all times of the year. The plants branch
freely and flower profusely, commencing to bloom when not
more than a foot high. As a specimen plant for large pots
it has an equal only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers are of
enormous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening flat,
and of such vivid crimson-scarlet color that they can be
seen from a long distance like a flaming torch. They can be
wintered in the cellar or pit with perfect safety, and if one
does not care to grow them all winter, one should have one
or two for summer display.

GRANDIFLORUS—Rich, glossy cut-leaved foliage,
covering the plant with scarlet-crimson flowers.

SUB-VIOLACEOQUS—Flowers of enormous size, beautiful car-
mine, tinted with violet. Probably the lagest flower of the
Hibiscus family, and an unusually free bloomer. I take
great pleasure in recommending this fine plant. j

of the richest crimson; combined with glossy foliage, ren-
ders it best of all.

IMPATIENS MAKE FINE BEDDING PLANTS

They are also useful as single specimens in tubs or

large pots. They completely hide the plant with their
bloom, and resemble a large bouquet of color; be
sure and try Impatiens. }

Lantanas, or Shrubby Verbenas

The brilliant colors, robust growth and profuse blooming
habit of the Lantana render it one of the finest bedding plants
grown. The flowers embrace all the most delicate shades of
orange, sulphur, creamy-white, etc., changing from one dis-
tinct color to another as they increase in age and develop-
ment. The varieties I have give a wide range of color, and
include the most distinct and profuse kinds; fine for baskets
and vases or porch boxes. Price, 8 cents each, three for 25
cents, twelve for 75 cents.

WEEPING LANTANAS

A New Weeping Plant of Great Beauty.

One of the grandest basket plants grown. The plant has a
most graceful, drooping habit, grows very rapidly, and blooms
continuously summer and winter, producing large clusters of
the most delicate lilac or rosy-pink; foliage a beautiful dark
green. A single plant on August Ist this past summer had
five hundred and ninety clusters of flowers on it. The same
plant December 1st had three hundred and fifty clusters of
flowers on, which proves it one of the most persistent bloom-
ers, and it does equally well winter or summer. I know of
nothing of recent introduction that is so easily grown and
gives so much pleasure and satisfaction as this beautiful
Lantana. Price, 10 cents each, three for 25 cents.

The Wonderful New Lemon

PONDEROSA

My New Ponderosa Lemon is what I claim for it. Largest
freest blooming, fruiting and most delicious of all Lemons.
Nothing that has ever been brought to my notice in the

plant line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful

Lemon has. It is a true ever-bearing variety. On a plant

six feet high no less than eighty-nine of the ponderous Lemons

were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see.

The tree was blooming, and at the same time had fruit in all

stages of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe

fruit, showing it to be a true ever-bearer. Fruit has been
taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. The Lemons
have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the juiciest of
all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary pur-
poses cannot be excelled. I have the entire stock of this
ponderous Lemon, and guarantee the trees to produce the same
large fruit. No budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa

Lemon is sure to become popular when it is known. It fruits

when quite small, and makes a lovely house plant. Every-

body can grow his own lemons; it will fruit freely each year.

Thrifty young plants, {0 cents each, three for 25 cents; strong

one-year-old plants, many of which will fruit this year, 25

cents each; strong two-year-old plants, 50 cents each; extra

strong, handsome plants, to bloom and fruit at once, $1.00 to
$1.50 each, according to size.

SWEET GERMAN MYRTLE

The Jew or Bride’s Myrtle

This is the handsome, upright, evergreen plant, suitable for
pot culture in the house, has small glossy green leaves that
are very fragrant. “This is scarce and rare. Fine plants, 25
cents each; three for 50 cents.

The Beautiful Dwarf Ornamental

OTAHEITE ORANGE

This valuable and distinct variety of the Orange family is a
dwarf, compact grower, with glossy deep green foliage, which
has a decided odor of the Orange Tree of Florida, and is ex-
ceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion of pure
white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, identical with
the much-sought-for blooms of the Southern Orange groves.
Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about
one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a
marked degree their sweetness. This unique Orange cannot
be equaled as a winter-blooming pot plant for house culture.
Requires but little sunlight, and flowers and fruits when but
twelve to fifteen inches high. As a pot plant this lovely dwarf
Orange is one of the most novel and beautiful that can be
grown. With a couple of plants of it you can have an abun-
dance of the far-famed delicate and fragrant Orange blossoms.
I have grown a large stock of clean, vigorous plants of this
beautiful Orange that will bloom and fruit at once. I com-
mena it to my friends as a novelty of sterling worth and
merit. Fine plants, 10 cents each; large, strong plants, ready
to blown and bear profusely, 25 cents each; extra large, strong
plants, 50 cents each.

pink flowers on stems ten to twelve inches high at one time,
and plants in four-inch pots often have from twenty-five to
fifty at one time, lasting in bloom fully four weeks without

plants are of neat, compact habit.

Sanseviera Zeylanica, Zebra Plant

A beautiful plant, specially adapted for the decoration of
drawing rooms and halls, as it stands dust and drought with
impunity and requires scarcely any water. The leaves are
beautifully striped crosswise, with broad white variegations on
a green ground. It is a rare and beautiful plant, which should
be abundantly grown for positions out of the reach of sun-
shine, where other plants will not thrive. It can be placed
in any position in any room and do well. It has a singular
beauty for decorative purposes which other plants do not
possess, and it is useful both in winter and summer. For
vases and baskets it is a fine centerpiece, and grows splendidly
out of doors during summer. Fine plants, 15 cents each; two
for 25 cents.

Tritoma Pfitzerii.

Ever-Blooming Tritoma Pfitzerii

The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the
finest Cannas for attractiveness and brillianey, equal to the
Gladiolus as a cut flower, and blooms incessantly from June
until November. Plants perfectly’ hardy in open ground all
winter south of Philadelphia. Further north they must be pro-
tected or wintered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma.
Just bury the roots in sand; nothing more is required. Should
be planted out very early in the spring, and will commence
growth and bloom at once, growing larger and finer every day.
Plants show six to twenty grand flower stalks all the time,
each holding at a height of three to four feet a cluster of
flame colored flowers of indescribable beauty and brilliancy.
Each cluster keeps perfect several weeks, and when it fades
several more are ready to take its place. Fall frosts do not
kill it or stop its blooming, and it is as brilliant as ever long
after all other garden flowers have been killed. For cutting
jt is unsurpassed, and the beautiful long spikes keep several
weeks in water. Strong plants that will bloom the first sum=
mer, 15 cents each; two for 25 cents, :

Beautiful and Fragrant Violets

Of all the delightful perfumes that of the Sweet Violets is
the most delicate and pleasing. If grown in the house for
winter flowers, they should be kept at a low temperature, as

best, either for pot culture in the house or bedded out. In

(IPOMEA MAXIMA.)
A Giant in Growth and Flower, and Wonderfully Fragrant

This grand new Moonflower is a decided improvement over
the old well-known variety Ipomea Grandiflora. The flowers

measuring from six to seven and one-half inches across, and

pletely cover the vine with a veil of glistening white. Its
growth is very rapid when planted in a good rich light soil,
nothing to equal it as a tender vine for porch and lattice
shading. Fine plants, 15 cents each.

New Moonflower, HEAVENLY BLUE—This makes a splendid
companion plant to the White Moonflower. It is equally rapid
in growth, and a much freer blooming variety than the
white one. The blooms come in clusters of five to twelve,
and at times almost hide the vines. The flowers are the
most heavenly blue, with reddish-purple rays, and six inches
across. Nothing is more beautiful. Price, 10 cents.

These Make a Rapid Growth and
Bloom Throughout the Summer,
Seay showy.

CALLA LILIES—Concluded

The New Godfrey Calla Lily, “DEVONIENSIS’—Undoubtedly
the finest thing ever sent out in the Calla line, and quite in-
dispensable. Blooms all winter. Compared with the ordi-
nary Calla, it gives three blooms to one; is snow-white and
perfect in form. Blooms on very small plants, though it
attains to a very large size with very large flowers.
Blooming bulbs, 30 cents each.

The New Godfrey Calla Lily, ‘“Devoniensis.”

New Dwarf Calla, LITTLE GEM—This Calla only grows about
eighteen inches high, and is the freest blooming of all the
Callas. The bloom is pure white. The following facts will
convince anyone of its great superiority over the old sort.
Of dwarf habit. The same plant will grow and bloom for
years, and the quantity of bloom which a good plant will
produce is astonishing. A large plant is hardly ever with-
out one or more flowers. All in all, it is one of the most
desirable plants I ever offered. Price, 15 cents, two for
25 cents.

Golden Yellow Calla, RICHARDIA ELLIOTTIANA—Tt has
the same habit of growth as the prdinary white variety, with
flowers of same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lus-
trous golden-yellow color. Blooming bulbs, 35 cents.

Spotted Calla, RICHARDIA ALBA MACULATA—Plant with
beautiful spotted leaves. It flowers abundantly during the
summer months when planted out in the open border. It

Pan-American Gladioli

GLADIOLI, The Pan-American—My
Pan-American mixture is the best
in the world, and I want to say
to you candidly that you have
never seen Gladioli until you see
these flowers. ‘This mixture in-
cludes all the new strains, such as

“Gray’s Inglesides,’ ‘Burbank’s
California Selects,’? ‘‘Childsii,’’
and “Groff’s Hybrids.’”’ They are

very tall and erect, often standing
four or five feet high, with spikes
of bloom over two feet in length.
They branch freely, in most cases
each stem producing three or four
spikes of bloom, and bloom much
earlier than ordinary varieties.
The flowers are of great substance
and gigantic size, frequently sev-
en to nine inches across. The
form of both flower and spike is
perfection itself, and they last in
bloom a long time before fading,
owing to their great substance
and vigor. But the most remark-
able feature is the coloring. Or-
chids cannot surpass them in va- m
ried and delicate shades, markings and blendings. Every
color known among Gladioli is represented, and many never
before seen, particularly blues, smoky grays and purple
blacks, all having beautifully mottled and spotted throats
made up of white, crimson, pink, yellow, ete., and in this
peculiar network of charming spots and colors lies one of

its special points of unsurpassed beauty. They far out-
rank all other Gladioli in size of spike, size of bloom, vigor,
varied and magnificent coloring and freedom of bloom.
Price, 5 cents each, 50 cents per dozen, $3.00 per hundred
by express, you to pay expressage. Cheaper mixture, 3
cents each, two for 5 cents, twelve for 25 cents.

Hardy Begonia Evansiana

Think of it! A hardy Begonia, one that stood twenty de-
grees below zero last winter, and came up and bloomed all
summer. Another thing in its favor, it requires shade to grow
in, at least partial shade. So many persons write me asking for
plants suitable for shady places. Well, Begonia a
fills the bill. It is a wonderful beautiful Begonia, having
pendulous flowers in large racemes almost covering the entire
plant. Color a sparkling pink that is simply entrancing. Ev-
erybody will want a hardy Begonia. It is also fine for pot cul-
ture. Price for plants or bulbs to bloom this summer, 25 cents.

cation is extreme hardiness. Second, it is perennial, bloom-

tion. It is doubtful if anything in the whole range of flower-
ing shrubs surpasses these in grace and elegance, or in hardi-
ness and usefulness. As decorative plants on the lawn or in
the border, they are without a peer. All of the Lilacs are deii-
ciously fragrant. One-year plants of Lilacs, twelve to eighteen
inches high, 25 cents each; two-year plants, branched, eighteen
to twenty-four inches, 50 cents each; the set of nine Lilacs, in
one-year-old plants, for $1.75, in two-year plants the nine

ANTHONY WATERER—This beautiful gem makes a low, com-
pact bush, and is covered pearly the whole growing season
with large umbels of deep crimson flowers which measure

a pot plant or for growing in the open ground, nothing can
equal it. Perfectly hardy, it is unquestionably one of the
really meritorious plants that we cannot have too many of.
