tion of over seven hundred varieties. That is
to say, it has such great charm and beauty
coupled with its many other good qualities as to
stand out ahead of every known variety. When
We say this we know exactly what we are say-
ing. In the first place, every stalk grows up-
right, and it bears its flowers so that every
Single one looks at you. This is a most desir-
able quality. Then every petal of every flower
is three inches or upwards across. Then the
color is such a charming shade of pink, chang-
ing to white. There are many spurious kinds
being sold. We guarantee our stock to be the
true variety. We now have secured such a stock
that we can sell at reasonable price. $10.00.

the most fragrant of all Hyacinths.

BIRD OF PARADISE—The spike is the largest of
all yellow Hyacinths. The color is a rich deep
golden-yellow. Very pure. No other yellow Hya-
cinth approaches it in either color or size.

CZAR PETER—This is without question the finest
of all light blue Hyacinths. The truss is very
large and solid. The color is a delicate sky-blue.
This Hyacinth is admired more than any other
variety of any color in Holland. Simply grand.

ENCHANTRESS—Do not forget that the porcelain-
blue color in Hyacinths is the most admired and
in greatest demand. This isa delicate porcelain-
blue color. Extra fine.

GRAND MAITRE, “Grand Master’—Deep porcelain-
blue; one of the grandest of all blue Hyacinths.
Much prized in Holland.

KING OF THE BLUES —This is the richest and
most elegant of the dark blue Hyacinths; it is
so dark that the texture of the flower seems cov-
ered with a rich sheen of velvet almost black.
Exquisite.

LA GRANDESSE—This variety deserves the name
of Grandesse. Splendid, immense spikes of large
pure ivory bells, waxy in appearance, vieing with
the snow in purity, while its fragrance is de-
licious, yet penetrating. Simply exquisite. The
best of all whites. Extra fine. Immaculate in
color.

REMEMBER that the foregoing Twelve Hyacinths are the very best in cultivation.

LA VICTOIRE This is a bright red Hyacinth of
the greatest merit. The color is a rich, even
shade of bright red. Superb.

LADY DERBY —This is said by all who have seen
it to be the best dark rose-colored Hyacinths yet
offered. The florets are extra large. Spike solid
and compact and of immense size, and the fra-
grance is delicious. The color is a rich, deep
rose, very bright and distinct. Elegant.

SIR WILLIAM MANSFIELD—This is the rare color
in Hyacinths, being a most beautiful shade of
lilac or violet. When you see this in flower you
will always remember it.

KING OF THE BELGIANS, “Roi des Belges’’—So
many persons complain that they never get a
bright red Hyacinth. The color of this grand va-
riety is a rich, glossy ruby-red of the brightest
hue. Certainly a gem.

KING OF THE YELLOWS —A very pure yellow
color, one of the richest and best; none better.

QUEEN OF THE BLUES—In Holland the delicate
blue Hyacinths take precedence over all other
colors, and the blue varieties in this collection
cost much more than any other color. With Czar
Peter this variety is a sure enough rival. It does
not conflict with any of the other blues in this
collection, being entirely distinct, a delicate
porcelain-blue, a color that is extremely rare in
flowers of any kind. Extra fine.

Early Flowering Single Tulips

Those marked with a start are the best for forcing in the house,
but all Tulips are fine for garden culture.

Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary
to expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease of culture, com-
bined with beauty of form and gorgeous coloring, render them
the most popular bulbs grown for spring bedding, and for winter
flowering in the greenhouse and window garden they are incom-
parable. The Tulip is extremely hardy and of easy culture, flow-
ering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine and producing as
fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more favored
place. Double and Single Tulips, when associated together and
planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display than if
either are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds

must be kept gay from the earliest day of spring, plant between the lines of
Tulips, Scilla Sibirica, Chionodoxa Luciliae, Snowdrops or Crocus, and as these
flower first they can be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into
bloom. The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate and attractive
colors than any other selection of spring flowering bulbs. The Single Tulip is
extensively grown for indoor decorations, three or five bulbs in a pot.

varieties of Early Single Tulips for $2.35

Polyanthus Narcissus

Or Bunch-Flowered Daffodils

_The Polyanthus variety of Narcissus is not only beautiful, but deli-
ciously sweet-scented and of the very easiest culture. Very free-flower-
ing and suitable for window garden, conservatory or garden, continuing
long in bloom. They have tall spikes of bloom, bearing six to twenty-
four flowers each. The pure white petals and gold cup of some varieties,
the yellow with the orange cup of others, and the self whites and yel-
lows, render them great favorites.

_NOTE—Polyanthus Narcissus, although not considered hardy, have
lived out for two winters in the vicinity of Boston with a slight cover-
ing of straw and leaves, producing much larger flowers, and more of
them, than when grown in the house in pots.

WHITE VARIETY

golden-yellow, making a fine contrast with the white bloom of that noted
kind. The bulbs are not nearly so large, but the trusses of flowers are
of good size, making this a charming bulb for house culture. Grows
in watch, like the old variety. 12 cents each; three for 30 cents; 75 cents

The Chinese Sacred or
Oriental Narcissus

A Variety of Polyanthus Narcissus

The “Shui Sin Far,’ or Water Fairy
Flower, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods,
ete., as it is called by the Celestials, is a
variety of Narcissus, bearing in lavish pro-
fusion chaste flowers of silvery-white with
golden-yellow cups. They are of exquisite
beauty and entrancing perfume. It is grown
by the Chinese according to their ancient
customs to herald the advent of their new
year and as a symbol of good luck. The
bulbs are grown by a method known only
to themselves, whereby they attain great
size and vitality, insuring luxurious growth
and immense spikes of flowers. In fact, the
incredibly short time required to bring the
bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks after
planting) is one of the wonders of nature.
“You can almost see them grow,’ succeed-
ing almost everywhere with everybody.
They do well in pots of earth, but are more
novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of water,
with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from
toppling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started
at intervals will give a succession of flowers through-

out the winter. We are importing direct from China
immense bulbs of the true large-flowering variety.
Price, 25 cents each; three for 65 cents

Winter-Blooming Freesias

PURITY — No description can do adequate justice fo
this beautiful plant. The flowers are two inches long ~
and about the same in width, shaped like miniature
Gladioli, and borne in clusters of six to ten on depressed
horizontal scapes. The body of the flower is pure white,
with lower segments spotted lemon-yellow. The per-
fume is most delicious, being a mixture of Mignonette,
Violet and Jasmine, and one plant is sufficient to per-
fume a large room without the overbearing perfumes of
Hyacinths or Tuberoses. The plant has tooth-shaped
bulbs and flat, spreading leaves. Its cultivation is the
simplest, requiring only to be potted in October, to
be watered sparingly at first, placed in a sunny window,
and watered more as growth progresses. When out of
flower, store in some place, and repot at proper season
in fresh soil for another year’s growth. 6 cents each;
65 cents per dozen.

Lilium Giganteum

THE TRUE BERMUDA EASTER LILY

This peerless Lily is the greatest acquisition to flori-
culture made in many years. Their profusion of bloom,

the remarkably short time required to bring ~
€ them into flower, and the certainty to pro-
duce abundant bloom, and also the ease
with which they can be manipulated to be
flowered at any desired period, such as
Christmas, Easter, and other special occa-
sions, make them invaluable. Flowers are
delightfully fragrant, pure waxy white, of
great substance, and if cut as soon as they —
are open or partially open they can be kept
for two weeks. A short time only is re-
quired to bring them into bloom. Bulbs
potted in August can be had in flower in

November if desired. A succession of bloom
can be kept up from November to May by
bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from
- cold frames at intervals during the winter.
The quantity of bloom produced is mar-
velous. Blooming plants in pots form
typical Easter offerings and presents, for

| THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES

We here offer what is good in the new Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try
these Roses. They are neanest that England, France, Ireland, Italy, Holland and America can produce.

Price, 25 Cents Each, Except Where Noted.

WE HAVE NO TWO-YEAR-OLD PLANTS OF ROSES TO OFFER THIS FALL, WE WILL HAVE THEM
; NEXT SPRING :

COLUMBIA (H. T.)—This is a new American
Rose, grown by the veteran rosarian EH. G.
Hill. It is a very vigorous grower of a true
pink shade, deepening as it opens to glow-
ing pink. A peculiarity of this variety is
that the shades all become more intense until
the full maturity of the open flower is
reached, and this color is enduring.

COUNTESS CLANWILLIAM (H. T.)—F lowers
very large and full, produced in endless
abundance; buds long and pointed, opening
to large, full, high, centered flowers of great
beauty and refinement. Color delicate peach-
pink at the base of the petals, which are
flamed and heavily edged with deep cherry-
red, a beautiful contrast of color. A charm-
ing Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. ‘

CRIMSON CHATENAY (H. T.) —This is the
Crimson Chatenay, a great Rose. All know
the Mme. Abel Chatenay. Well, this is a
crimson form with all the other good qual-
ities of its parent.

CRIMSON QUEEN (H. T.)—A very strong, up-
right grower, flower large and full. Color a
rich bright velvety crimson. A grand garden
Rose, as it is always in bloom.

. CRUSADER—(New.) A big, strong growing

variety, robust and rugged in every charac-
teristic. The growth is heavy and the flower
stem strong and heavy. It is free flowering
and the blooms are big and double and in
color a rich velvety crimson. A free flower-
ing red Rose that is a wonder. 50 cents.

FLORENCE FORRESTER (H. T.)—Clear snow-
white with a lemon tinge; as the flowers age
they become a pure white; the blooms are
even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is
absolutely perfect, and the freedom with
which it flowers is marvelous. We consider
this Rose the grandest of all whites for bed-
ding. For size and substance has no equal
among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly per-
fumed. Gold medal, National Rose Society.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.)—It is very fit-
ting that such a fine new Rose should be
honored with the name of the author of the
“Star Spangled Banner,” and also that it
should hail from Baltimore, one of whose
forts was being assailed when the inspiration
came to the author to write our national
anthem. The flowers are from large to very
large, with sixty or more petals opening to a
high center. The color is a magnificent deep
red rose. Wherever it has been staged this Rose
has swept all competitors from the boards and
secured every prize it has entered for. Grand for
the garden.

FRANK W. DUNLAP—(New.) Did you see it at
the International Flower Show at New York the
past spring? Its record at_ the exhibition, win-
ning silver medal for the best new pink Rose,
gold sweepstakes medal for the best seedling in
the show. Frank W. Dunlap was the finest flower
in the exhibition. Claimed to be better than Mrs.
Charles Russell. 50 cents.

GLADYS HOLLAND (H. T.)—Of magnificent form
and size. Color buff, shaded orange-yellow, out-
Side of petals pearly-peach. Very free flowering.
Awarded a gold medal, National Rose Society of
England.

GLOIRE DES BELGES (H. T.)—Growth vigorous
and free, flowering continuously until late in the
season. Buds oval, long and of elegant form
with vivid colors of carmine and cochineal. Fine
for massing and a fine cut flower.

GOLDEN SPRAY (H. T.) —Unique in habit and
growth, it sending up long arching shoots which
form great loose elegant sprays, every bud of
which opens up in succession. The buds are very
long, of deep Marechal Niel yellow, opening to al-

most single blooms of clear lemon-yellow. Awarded

° gold medal, National Rose Society of England.
HADLEY (H. T.)—In color it is a deep velvety
_ erimson, retaining its brilliancy at all seasons of

the year. The variety is double and buds are well

HOOSIER BEAUTY (H. T.)

Autumn Tints,

formed. The fragrance is excelled only by Amer-
ican Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and
the flowers are borne on long, stiff stems. It has
proven itself under thorough trial to be an all-
the-year-round forcing variety. :

We use description of
BE. G. Hill Co.: “If you need a more profitable
red Rose than the one you are growing, ‘Hoosier
Beauty’ is your variety. Itisas fragrant as Rich-
mond; has more petals, a stiffer stem, a_ texture
like velvet. In color, glowing crimson-scarlet, with
darker shadings. The bud is of good length, ships
well in the close-cut state, and opens into a mag-
nificent bloom, quite dazzling in velvety brilliance.
As soon as thorough established in the soil sends
out long, stiff growths with a bud on every shoot.”

HENRIETTE (H. T.)—One of the finest in existence

for bedding, garden and cut-flower purposes;
blooms erect on long stems; buds long and pointed.
Color fiery orange-crimson, changing to soft coral-
salmon. Very hardy. Free in habit.

KILLARNEY BRILLIANT (H. T.)—The introducers

are to be congratulated 16 years after the advent
of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty,
which is undobutedly the best of the Killarney
type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of
growth and the same freedom of bloom as its
parent, while the flower is more double. The color
is a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney.
In the garden in bright weather is clear pink, and
in dull weather almost crimson. Extra,

THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Continued

LADY PLYMOUTH (T.)—The color is a pearly,
delicate but deep ivory-cream, faintly flushed,
giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult
to describe. Awarded gold medal National Rose
Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal
Palace Show, London.

LADY ROBERTS (T.)—The color is a rich gold-
en-yellow, very free bloomer and a grand gar-
den Rose.

LOS ANGELES (H. T.)—Los Angeles is, by all
odds, one of the finest Roses ever introduced.
The growth is very vigorous, and produces a
continuous succession of long-stemmed flowers
of a luminous flame-pink toned with coral and
shaded with translucent gold at the base of
the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals
in intensity the finest Marechal Niel. The buds
are long and pointed and expand into a flower
of mammoth proportions, while the beauty of
form and ever increasing wealth of color is
maintained from the incipient bud until the
last petal drops. 50 cents each.

LILLIAN MOORE (H. T.)—No Rose ever

has been offered to the public with the 7
same credentials, having won in stren- a
uous open competition with Roses from £&

all countries of the world the much-cov- f
eted One-Thousand-Dollar Trophy of- ;
fered by the “Panama-Pacific Exposi-
tion” for the best new seedling Rose
not in commerce, and named “Lillian
Moore” in honor of the wife of the
president of the exposition, Mr.
Charles C. Moore. Color deep pure
Indian-yellow, deeper center; long
buds; free bloomer.

MADAME BUTTERFLY — (New.) Is
Hill's glorified sport of Ophelia. Seen
and admired by thousands. All the
color tones of Ophelia are intensified,
making it a harmony of bright pink,
apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at
the top in popularity and Madame
Butterfly will surpass it. It averages
more petals to the bloom; it produces
more bloom to the plant because it
makes more branches, everyone carrying a bud.
The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian
oak, yellow at the base; they are unique for
corsages and for low table decorations; the
opening flowers are perfect in form and tex-
ture, clear and brilliant in color and of de-
licious fragrance. 50 cents.

MADAME MARCEL DELANNEY (H. T.)—A sur-
prisingly beautiful novelty raised by the intro-
ducers of the popular Rose Jonkheer J. L. Mock,
and honored with the award of the Gold Medal
of the Bagatelle Gardens at Paris, 1915. It is
distinct and peculiar in color, a pale sofe pink
or rose shaded with hydrangea-pink. The flow-

ers_ are very large, full and fragrant, perfect Francis Scott Key (See description on page 19).
in form, and borne on rigid stems. The growth
is vigorous and very floriferous.

MADAME COLLETE MARTINET (H. T.)—A vigorous grower of
coppery-orange color. The color is very deep and _clear, and
holds well, which can be said of few yellow sorts. It is a nice
grower, free in bloom, and those wanting a yellow different
from ‘‘Ward” or “Sunburst” should try this one.

MISS WILMOT (H. T.)—The most refined and charming Rose
ever raised. There is an appealing sweetness about this most
distinct variety that will please lovers of Roses all the world
over. The color is practically a uniform soft sulphury-cream,
with the faintest flush towards the edges. In shape and form
this Rose is a model of perfection, every flower comes perfect
and produced with a freedom that is marvelous. A wonder-
ful garden Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 35 cents.

MR. P. L. BAUDET (H. T.)—Color carmine-rose flecked with
salmon-yellow, center darker. Flowers large and full, vigor-
ous in growth, continuous in bloom. A unique two-tone Rose.

MRS. BRYCE ALLAN (H. T.)—Strong Moss-rose perfume.
Color carmine-rose. Flowers globular in form, very erect
stems, deep green foliage.

MRS. CHARLES BELL (Pierson, 1918)—This new_Rose will ap-
peal to those who grow Roses out of doors. It may be de-
scribed as a shell-pink Radiance, and is a sport of that well
known Rose. It has no characteristics which make it distinct
from Radiance except that it is shell-pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell,
Red Radiance and Radiance offer a range of color that will be
welcome, and there are no finer garden Roses for America
than these three.

MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.)—This wonderful new Amer-
ican Rose has taken the country by storm. No other foreing
Rose except “American Beauty” can compete with it when it
comes to counting points. Stems three feet long, stiff and
surmounted by grand rosy-pink blooms of the largest size

Lillian Moore, and build. 35 cents.

THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES—Continued

MRS. CAMPBELL HALL (Tea)—Delicate creamy-
buff, edged or suffused rosy-carmine. The cen-
ter of the bloom is warm cerise coral-fawn.
Very deliciously fragrant. Awarded gold
medal, N. R. S.

MRS. HENRY WINNETT (H. T.)—This is a seed-
ling raised by John H. Dunlap, of Canada, and
has the distinction of being the first seedling
Rose of Canadian origin that has been offered
in commerce. In color it is a bright shade of
erimson, not so dark as Hadley, and not so
light as Richmond. It is a color that pleases

the retail storeman and his patrons. The finest
of all the red or crimson varieties. The buds
are long and well formed. A superb red Rose.
35 cents.

MRS. JOHN COOK—White, suffused with deli-
cate pink, describes the color of this strong-
growing, big-flowered daughter of Ophelia. The
color varies with the season, the flush of pink
being more pronounced during cool weather,
while the Rose is almost white during the long
days of bright sunshine. In bud it is nicely
formed, the mature flower opening cup-shaped
but expanding fully to a large and finely-
formed bloom. It is bigger and better in sum-
mer than White Killarney and, with its deli-
eate pink in dark weather, is a very charming
color. 50 cents.

MRS. MACKELLAR (H. T.)—The glorious blooms

make this an imposing Rose. A deep citron
or delicate pure canary color. As the large
blooms gracefully expand the guard petals
charmingly reflex and become pearly primrose-
white of great decorative beauty. Award of
merit (unanimous), R. H. S., London.

MURELLE (T.)—A Rose of the type of Safrano,
only a much stronger grower. It is a very free
bloomer and is a Rose with a great future.
Color rosy-blush with saffron-yellow.

NATIONAL EMBLEM (H. T.)—Dark crimson of
perfect shape, habit and inflorescence; as a
bedding, massing and cutting Rose it is unique.
Buds long and pointed, opening to large, full,
handsome flowers of great beauty, flowering
freely and continuously.

OPHELIA—Salmon-flesh shaded with rose, large,
and of perfect shape; of excellent habit; the
flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems
and produced in great profusion. Excellent for
forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth
vigorous. Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure
to have “Ophelia” fixed in your memory.

New Rose, Premier,

PILGRIM—(New.) In color, a beautiful shade of
bright rose-pink. The bud, which opens per-
fectly, is long and of ideal form. Pilgrim is a
Rose of good substance and petalage, and at any
stage of development is perfect in color and
form of flower. Its pronounced tea fragrance
will attract all Rose lovers. It is prolific and
highly productive of first quality blooms. The

stems are straight and strong. It is the pink
Rose to grow. 50 cents.

PREMIER—This is the long-looked for deep Rose
for the garden; a beauty, and one you will be
pleased with. It is a very free bloomer, almost
smothering the plant. The color is bright and
attractive. The growth is all that is to be
desired, and altogether a wonderful Rose. 50
cents.

RED RADIANCE (H. T.)—AIl who know that grand
Rose Radiance will welcome this red form of that
great favorite. Radiance is a Rose that does well
everywhere, a fine grower and free bloomer, and
no prettier pink Rose grown. Red Radiance is its
exact counterpart except that the color is a rich
deep red.

ROSE MARIE (H. T.)—This is a grand Rose of the
very highest merit. A rich red that has come to
stay. Might best be described as a bright water-
melon-red. Very desirable.

TIPPERARY (H. T.)—In color stands between Lady
Hillingdon and Melody, showing an attractive
shade of soft golden-yellow in the bud and half
developed flower. Its freedom of flowering and its
habit of growth will make it one of the most de-
sirable Roses of its color.

W.C.GAUNT (H. T.)—Of medium size, with pointed
buds, with naturally reflexed guard petals of bril-
liant velvety vermilion, tipped scarlet. Stems
rigid, habit branching, large oval beech-green
foliage. Rich tea fragrance; very rich in color.

New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture

Price, 20 cents each; any three of your own selection for 50 cents. We have no two-year-old Roses to offer

this fall.

Will have plenty in our Spring book.

For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants,
such as we send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring until severe frosts.

Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing to their size.

The flowers are

noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance; hardy everywhere in open ground with protec-

tion of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. F
harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates for the trifling outlay.

Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses; the
Anyone can succeed with them.

Let us tell you something about these

It always was a popular outdoor Rose on_the
Pacific Coast, but recently even in the effete East
and everywhere in America they are planting
it simply by thousands for cut flowers. It has
become quite the rage. It makes a handsome
miniature Rose, coming in sprays of three to.
five buds, and combined in beautiful effeet with
so many other flowers in all kinds of floral work.
It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully pro-
tected in the winter should be a money-maker,
both outdoors and under glass. The bud--and
flower are both handsome. Color, blush, shaded
light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable. :

PERLE @#OR—Coppery-orange, changing to fawn.

New Polyantha, or Baby Roses Price 25 cents each

BABY DOROTHY—This is a glorious Rose. Flowers
resemble the Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides
the plant with its bloom.

BABY ECHO—The best. Polyantha produced. Color
rosy-flesh color. Of splendid strong growth and
freedom of bloom, which are of wonderful keeping
qualities either on or off the plant. This is the
improved Baby Tausendschoen. It has more sub-
stance and more color, and is the best of all Baby
Roses for pot culture. Be sure and try this one.

BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAU-
TIES—Its flowers are large, so much like Thou-
sand Beauties, that it has been rechristened Baby
Thousand Beauties. It is a bush form of the
Thousand Beauties, having all the charm of the
variable coloring in its flowers that its parent
has, being firm, white, delicately flushed pink,
changing to deep rosy-carmine. A splendid Rose.
Try it.

EDITH CAVELL—Bright crimson; white eye; very
beautiful. One of the best new Baby Roses.

ETOILE LUISANTE OR BABY HERRIOT—Just pic-
ture to yourself the Fairy or Sweetheart Rose
(“Cecile Brunner’), colored up like the Daily Mail
Rose (“Mme. Edouard Herriot’), only brighter and
more brilliant than when that variety is at its best,
and you will have some conception of the beauty
of this little gem which on account of the simi-
larity in color has been known among the cut

flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is a
shrimp-pink with intense coppery-scarlet suffu-
sion, the base of the petals golden-yellow which
intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant
is of free growth and floriferous. We are certain
that Baby Herriot will please everyone.

GEORGE ELGER— A lovely little golden-yellow
Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea
blood; like all of its class, it is free in growth,
free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced
in profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow buds
open into pretty little symmetrical Roses. Will
prove a very popular corsage variety; is grown in
quantity now for this purpose.

CONCLUDED

Price, 25 Cents Each

GRUSS AN AACHEN—Yellowish-rose colored with salmon-
pink and red shadings; full, strong, free blooming and dis-
ease proof; erect and of moderate growth. Owing to the
Size and beauty of its flowers and its symmetrical growth,
this variety is highly recommended for low, bright massing.

double flowers, bright salmon-rose at the edges, rosy-blush
inside. Blooms abundantly and continuously in bouquets of
fifteen to forty flowers. Has fine keeping qualities.

MLLE. FRANCISQUE FAVRE—Dwarf Polyantha. Robust in
growth, quite continuous in bloom, flowering in large trusses
of single flowers. Color, velvety crimson, with large silver-
white eye. Extremely showy.

ORLEANS—The showiest and prettiest of all the Baby Ram-
blers. This charming and dainty Rose is of beautiful rounded
habit and is a huge bouquet of deep cerise or Geranium-
pink, with distinct showy center of pure white; florets not
crowded, but of beautiful arrangement, making as a whole
a charming combination that cannot be beaten. Color is irre-
sistible. Plant grows like a weed and the flowers are nearly
“immortelle” in their lasting qualities. -Awarded gold medal.

ROSARIE, or PINK THOUSAND BEAUTIES—tThis is a bright
pink form of that famous Rose, “Thousand Beauties.” <A
grand Rose from any standpoint.

TIP TOP, “Baby Doll”—This delightful little “Sweetheart” Rose
is a wonder. The color is absolutely new, and quite startling
in its brilliancy, golden-yellow tipped with clear, bright
cerise. The foliage is narrow, long and sharply pointed, a

deep glossy green—a very beautiful setting for the lovely
little doll roses, a bench of “Baby Doll” being an even

parterre of delicious color.

Baby Doll, or Tip Top.

“Famous” Rose Collection for Garden Planting

We guarantee that no better Twelve Roses for the Garden were ever offered than this “Famous” Col-

lection.

ANTOINE RIVOIRE—This is the famous Mrs. Taft

~ Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This
Rose is in a class by itself; no Rose ever pro-
duced has such substance of petal; color creamy-
white with rainbow tints; a beauty-and a wonder.

BESSIE BROWN—A Rose of transcendent beauty;
of the largest size; color pearl-white with a deli-
cate tinge of fawn.

ETOILE DE FRANCE—For the best red garden Rose
it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and Helen
Gould. Some say one and some say the other.

ETOILE DE LYON—Still the best large golden-yel-
low Rose.

HELEN GOULD W— A rich red Rose that is a great
bloomer; the shade of red has been described best
as a watermelon-red; elegant.

HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What the in-
troducers say: “This is a true Cochet Rose, and
after two years’ trial in the garden we pronounce
it as good if not better than any Rose for the
garden ever sent out. We bought the entire stock
of this Rose, paying $1,000 for two plants, this
being by far the highest recorded price ever paid
for any Rose. The color is a delicate yellow suf-
fused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very
chaste and beautiful. The color, with its im-
mense size and exquisite form, makes it without
question the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced,
and we are proud to have brought it out.”

HKAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA —A grand white
garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full
and double; fine buds and flowers.

LA FRANCE—This is claimed by many to be the
queen of all the Roses; bright silvery-pink.

Try them. Price, 25 cents each; the entire twelve for $2.50.

MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses)
—Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed
by this variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can-
not be seen in any other Rose we know of. The
buds are beautiful, larg,e full and firm and ele-
gantly pointed; as they expand they show great
depth and richness, sometimes measuring two
and a half inches from base to tip. Flowers
superb when open, extra large, perfectly double
and of splendid substance. Small pot plants will
in the open ground quickly make large, strong
bushes and produce, on long, stiff stems, great
numbers. of perfect flowers that are enchanting
in fragrance and delicate brightness. The color
is rich, clear pink, changing to a silvery-rose. As
we see it, one good Rose like any of the Cochet
Roses is worth a whole collection of poor ones.

SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT—Grand Rose of the
largest size; color delicate fawn or salmon; fine.

WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than
This)—This Rose attracted our attention from the
very first time we ever saw it in flower. It is of
the largest size, and as you will notice, the flower
is built up, or rounded, and very double. The
eolor is a pure snow-white. Sometimes outdoors
it is tinged pink, which only adds to its great
beauty. No Rose surpasses it in vigorous growth
and in the immense size of its buds and flowers—
indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it
in size. Deliciously fragrant.

WM. R. SMITH—This Rose has several names, such
as Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden’s
Blush, ete. Color delicate blush. It has no su-
perior as a garden Rose.

and a half to two feet long and the color is a
lively bright shell-pink with shadings of rich sul-
phur at the base of petals—a combination that is
both novel and beautiful. The flowers are of re-
markable substance and long lived, whether cut

antly perfumed. It is very much brighter and
more cheerful in color with larger flowers than
those of the justly popular Dr. Van Fleet Rose.

size, three to four inches across, of a lovely shade
of apple-blossom pink, with a clear white eye and

RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCELSA—The de-
fects of Crimson Rambler are its unsightly foli-
age in unseasonable weather and its defoliation

sures an ornamental climber which is nearly
evergreen, and this will assure this lovely crim-
son-searlet pillar Rose a place in every American
garden, for it is quite hardy in addition to all its
Other fine points. The flowers are very double,
produced in large trusses of thirty to forty, and
almost every eye on a shoot produces large clus-
ters of flowers. The color is intense crimson-
maroon, the. tips of the petals tinged with scar-
let. The finest of all red Climbing Roses. 25e.

dozen, $1.00; hundred, $7.00.

duces flowers of distinction in daintiness and

center. Extra fine. Each, $1.00. é

MAINE—A variety long looked for by both florist

faintest spot or blemish can be traced on petals,
throat, or the inside of flower. When in full
bloom, the petals curl backward, reminding us of
the lovely form that characterizes the Easter
Lily. There are many flowers open at one time,
and these blossoms, correctly placed on the stem,
widely expended, tend to touch each other in the
aeme of blossoming, giving the impression as
though this full row of snow-white cups were
one long pyramidal flower. Unlike so many
white Gladioli, Maine is an extremely strong
grower and rapid multiplier, all first size corms

green, healthy foliage. In conclusion, we wish to
state that Glad. Maine is a crossing between

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FERNS

There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative
Ferns. They are easily grown, free from insects and disease, and thrive well in the ordinary temperature
of the living room. See that the plants have plenty of drainage and are kept well watered; never let dry
out for any length of time.- Everyone of these Nephrolepis Ferns is entirely distinct in every way. That
we are headquarters for Ferns is evidenced by the choice assortment that we offer. No other firm offers

so many distinct and choice varieties.

Try us for Ferns.

New Fern Liberty

This is our own production. In the
past we have sent out Baby’s Breath,
Teddy Junior and Roosevelt, the three
greatest Ferns today, acknowledged
so by all plantsmen and flower lovers,
and now we add another one to the
galaxy, “Liberty,” no doubt the best
of them. All the fronds have finely
divided pinnae that give them a very
beautiful appearance, while the whole
plant is overlaid with a bluish cast

that makes of it a very striking ob-
ject. Wonderfully beautiful, different
from all other Ferns. First time of-
fered. Fine young plants, 50 cents
each; strong plants, $1.00 each. Be
sure and try this beautiful Fern.

New Liberty Fern.

THE “TEDDY JUNIOR FERN”

Nephrolepis Teddy Junior

“Teddy Junior,’ the Fern for every household. This grand
Fern was introduced recently by G. & R. The fronds are broad
and beautifully tapered from base to tip; they droop just enough
to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting it to finish with
a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. The pinnae
are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy
appearance, which adds materially to their charming decorative

effect. “Teddy Junior’ will produce about four times more
fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty
to sixty fronds in a four-inch pot. Hine young plants, 35 cents; THE
strong plants, 75 cents.

THE ‘“ROOSEFELT FERN”

Nephrolepis Roosevelt

“Teddy Junior” Fern.

“Big Four Fern”

It is our good fortune
and great pleasure to of-
fer this wonderful new
Fern, having introduced it
in 1910. In this short time
it stands second in popu-

larity of all the Ferns, and
will soon be more popular
than even the old favorite
Boston Fern. In general
characteristics it resembles
the world-famous Boston
Fern, but it will sweep
that Fern from the boards
for twa reasons; it pro-
duces many more fronds
than the Boston, thus mak-
ing a bushier, handsomer
plant; then the pinnae are
beautifully undulated, giv-
ing the “Roosevelt” a pro-
nounced wavy effect seen
in no other Fern; as the
plant ages this effect be-
comes quite distinct. <A
charming and most notable
variety. Fine young plants,
85 cents each; strong plants,
7S cents.

Fronds of the “Roosevelt Fern.”

Nephrolepis Splendida
This is the most wonderful Fern of

|them all; it originated with G. & R.,

and is now offered for the first time.
It combines the good qualities of the

| four most popular sorts. It has the

grace of a “Boston,” the wavy effect
of a ‘Roosevelt,’ the fluffy effect of an
“Ostrich Plume,’ and the uniqueness
of a “Fish Tail.’ Some fronds will be
straight “Boston,” others will be true

y “Roosevelt,” in others the ends of the
|| pinnae will be the feathery “Ostrich

Plume,” while in others the ends of
the pinnae will be the genuine “Fish
Tail’’ Then again some fronds will

|) have in a marked degree all of these

desirable traits, forming a combina-
tion without parallel among Ferns. It
well deserves the name of “Big Four

4| Hern.” Everyone who. sees it goes

“daffy” about it. This is without
question the most splendid of all the
Nephrolepis. Be sure and try it. Fine
young plants, 35 cents each; strong
plants, 75 cents.

favorite variety. Fine young plants, 30c; strong plants, 75c.

: _ The “Parlor Fern”

Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta

This is a condensed form of the ‘Ostrich Plume” Fern,
with valuable characteristics added which are not evident
in the parent, the pinnae subdividing, making miniature
fronds which are superimposed on the main fronds, look-
ing as if two or more were condensed into one. Graceful
beyond description. Fine young plants, 35 cents; strong
plants, 75 cents.

The “Philadelphia Lace Fern”

Nephrolepis Elegantissima
The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided into
perfect miniature fronds; the side pinnae stand at right
angles to the midrib

instead of flat, giving
both sides of the main
frond the same beau-
tiful appearance. Itis
impossible to conceive
of the beauty and
grace of this won-
derful Fern from de-
seription. Fine young

The
“Old Original
Sword Fern’’

Nephrolepis Exaltata

This is the “old
original Sword Fern,”
the ‘daddy” of them
all, the one plant
from which all the
Nephrolepis we offer
sprang. It is entirely
different from any of
its progeny, having
narrow fronds that
are long and of very

Of much dwarfer and bushier =F
growth than the Boston Fern. The
fronds droop gracefully, and are
not as long and heavy as the
Boston. It is a rapid grower, and

from a runner in the bench to a

Philadelphia Lace Fern.

The “Wannamaker Fern”

Nephrolepis John Wannamaker

A new Fern of wonderful beauty. Long, narrow, grace~
fully drooping fronds. It is not so compact as Scholzeli, and,
therefore, is a very airy and graceful Fern, and very du-
rable in the house. A rapid grower; quite distinct from
other Ferns.

The “Ostrich Plume Fern”

Fine young plants, 30¢; strong plants, 75c.

Nephrolepis Whitmanii
In fact, it is a plant that appeals to everyone,

and on that account will prove a much more valuable and _profit-
able plant than other Ferns of this class. Everyone who has
seen it is charmed with it. As someone has expressed it, “There
is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation. In decora-
tive effect it so far outdistances the original 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,
35 cents; strong plants, 85 cents.

Beautiful House Ferns—Concluded
The “Boston Fern”

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis

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 ~
ealled 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 with the Ostrich
Plume Fern, as they are of an entirely different growth.
Fine young plants, 30 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.

The “Crested Fern”

Nephrolepis Scholzeli

The fronds are crested and stand erect, with a graceful
arch, forming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break
down, giving the plant a ragged appearance, as is so often
the case with other plumed forms; furthermore, the loose,
elegant arrangement of the fronds, allowing a free circula-
tion of air through the foliage, prevents the center of even
the largest specimen from becoming defective or yellow.
Fine young plants, 30 cents each; large plants, 75 cents.

“Baby’s Breath Fern.”

The “Baby’s Breath Fern”

Nephrolepis 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 tex-
ture that a baby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage

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, much more compact, and its irregular

shaped fronds, which give it the name of “Fluffy
Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very heavily imbri-
eated, the pinnae overlapping, and so formed as to
resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the appearance

in motion.” The fronds are very fine and filmy, on
which account it has been called by some the Lace
Fern. It is an improved variety, and the best of its
type. Nothing is daintier or more exquisite than I

GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS

Asparagus Plumosus Nanus

(The Lace Fern.) This graceful climber has to
a great extent taken the place of the once popular
Smilax in all fine decorations. It possesses the ad-
vantage of being much more graceful, its foliage
being finer than that of the most delicate Fern, and
will last for weeks after being cut, the whole plant
being of a bright, cheerful green. It is an excellent
house plant, succeeding under almost any condition.
15 cents each.

Asparagus Sprengeri

(The Emerald Feather.) A most desirable species,
especially useful to grow as a pot plant for deco-
rative purposes or for planting in suspended bas-
kets. The fronds are frequently four feet long, of
a rich shade of green, and most useful for cutting,
retaining their freshness weeks after being cut. It
will make an excellent house plant, as it with-
stands dry atmosphere and will succeed in almost
any situation. 15 cents each.

Amaryllis Johnsonii

Lovely bulbous plants for winter or early spring
blooming. Give plenty of water while growing.
When. through blooming, gradually withhold water,
so that they may become dormant during the sum-
mer. Start again in. the fall by repotting in fresh
soil and increasing the supply of water gradually.
This is the large crimson variety that is very pop-

ular. Immense Lily-like flowers of deep crimson,
borne on strong stalks of from five to eight flowers.
Very desirable. Fine buibs, 50 cents each.

Amaryllis Hybrids

We are lucky to get a lot of English Hybrid
Amaryllis. We guarantee these to be the very best
of all Amaryllis, in fact you have never seen any-
thing to match them. The colors run largely to
shades of red. Any color you get will be glorious.
While they last at 35 cents each, or three for 90 cts.

This is one of the prettiest of all shrubs. Has
small shiny leaves like they were glazed. Bears its
bell-shaped pure white flowers in the greatest pro-
fusion all summer long, deliciously fragrant. Hardy

ing. Its brilliant rosy-lavender blossoms are pro-

ering Begonia—This new Begonia has simply

taken*everybody who has seen it by storm. There

this Begonia after they had seen it in flower. It

certainly is a wonder. The blooms last from a

month to six weeks, and are borne in immense

clusters, almost hiding the plant. The color is
bright coral-red, changing to a delicate pink. It

is past the power of speech to describe it. A

wonder. Fine plants, 50 cents.

Here is a plant for the masses. It grows easily,
blooms freely, and the flower is something to be
proud of. Brugmansia blooms indoors in winter and
in. the garden in summer. The plant has large, trop-
ical 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, 50 cents each.

New Giant Coleus, Christmas Gem

(Brillianey, 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 carmine, shading off to a deep
maroon, the margin being yellow and green, the
whole leaf having a rich velvety luster. Price, 25
eents each; three for 60 cents.

Cyclamen Persicum Giganteum

(Or Persian Violet.) This is a decided improve-
ment over the old variety, being of a more robust
habit and stronger grower. Produces flowers on
short, stout stems and of immense size, often meas-
uring, on well-grown bulbs, two inches in diameter.
The foliage is also beautiful and it is a charming
winter bloomer. 25 cents each.

Euphorbia Splendens

(Crown of Thorns.) <A curious plant with thick,
fleshy stems which are covered with stout, sharp
thorns, many an inch long. The foliage is bright
green and the flowers are a beautiful coral-pink.

any time. Soon makes handsome plants. Legend
says this is the plant the Savior was crowned with.
Price, 25 cents each.

Fuchsias, or Ladies’ Eardrops

Price, 20 cents; the set of six for $1.00.

BLACK PRINCE —This is, without question, the
very finest. Fuchsia grown for the amateur to

growth, free from disease and insects, and is
probably the freest in blooming. We 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 culture.

LITTLE BEAUTY — Red sepals, sky-blue corolla,
so free as to almost hide the plant.

LORD BYRON—Red sepals, corolla of the richest
royal purple, so free in flower as to almost hide
the plant.

corolla brilliant carmine; it blooms quite freely.

. New Pink Hibiscus, Peachblow

(A sport from the Double Red Hibiscus Rosea
Sinensis.) The flowers are double and from 4 to 5
inches in diameter, of a charming, rich, clear pink
color, with small, deep crimson center. It is one of
the freest-flowering plant novelties recently offered.
The color is an entirely new_and beautiful shade,
and it blooms abundantly and continuously during
the summer and fall months. Large plants two and
three years old make a magnificent show. It will give
general satisfaction to those who grow it, either in

outside during summer. 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 crim-
son-scarlet color that they can be seen from a long
distance like a flaming torch. They can be win-
tered 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.

iter aly, covering the plant with scarlet-crimson

owers.

golden-yellow color; the foliage is dark green
with a number of translucent creamy-white spots,

This is one of the prettiest and daintiest of all
Lilies. It is pure white with bands of a greenish
color through the flower; this green and the white

Ponderosa Lemon.

Wonderful New Lemon, Ponderosa

Nothing that has ever been brought to our 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 89
of the Ponderosa Lemons were growing at one time.
It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was bloom-
ing, and even at the same time had fruit in all
stages of development, from the size of a pea up t9
the ripe fruit, showing it to be a true ever-bearel.
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 purposes
cannot be excelled. It is not uncommon to make
twelve lemon pies from one lemon. We have the
entire stock of this ponderous lemon and guarantee

the trees to produce the same large fruit. No bud-
- ding or grafting necessary. _Ponderosa Lemon is
sure to become popular when itis known. It fruits

when quite small, and makes a lovely house plant.
Everybody can grow his own lemons; it- will fruit
freely each year. Thrifty young plants, 25 cents
each. Larger plants, 50 cents; extra strong, 75 cents.

flowers of the most delicious fragrance. Otaheite
fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit
about one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, re-
taining in a marked degree its 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

Sweet Peas

Plant Sweet Peas south of the Ohio River in the

fall. Try fall planting and be surprised. See our
Spring Book for varieties. Everyone who has a
yard ought to grow quantities of this sweetest of
all flowers, that is not only a beautiful low-grow-
ing vine for garden and decorations, but one of the
most useful of all in furnishing material for vases,

bouquets and all cut-flower work. Plant quantities
of these lovely flowers and cut them with a lavish
hand; for every flower you pick, two will come to
fill its place. For the largest and finest blossoms,
dig a trench six inches deep, put in two inches of
rotten manure, a little earth, and sow the seed over
this three inches apart in the row, covering an
inch and a half. Do this during the month of No-
vember, or just before freezing weather, and as the
plants grow, fill up the trench around them with
rich earth. Such planting will produce enormous
quantities of flowers of the largest size. Best mix-
ture of Sweet Peas, 5 cents per packet, or 20 cents
per oz.

Sanseviera Zeylanica, Zebra Plant

A beautiful plant, specially adapted for the dec-
oration of drawing rooms and halls, as it stands
dust and drought with impunity and requires scarce-
ly 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 sunshine, where other plants will not
thrive. It can be placed in any position in any
room and do well. It has singular beauty for
decorative purposes which other plants do not pos-
sess, and it is useful both in winter and summer.
For vases and baskets it is a fine center piece, and
grows splendidly out of doors during summer. Fine
plants, 25 cents.

HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS

Shrubs Will Be Sent About the 1st of November in Ample Time for Fall Planting

The Ever-Blooming Butterfly Bush

Buddleya Variabilis Magnifica (Butterfly Bush)

It was a matter of some thought before this
highly desirable plant was finally christened with
the common English name by which it goes. Sev-
eral years ago there were imported from Europe
some plant novelties and this one was among them.
We observed it carefully for a season and were
charmed with its beauty, ease of culture and free
flowering habit. The name Butterfly Bush was ap-
plied to it because it seems to attract butterflies in
large numbers. Particularly we notice that it is
not alone the common little yellow species of but-
terfly, but also the large and gorgeously colored
butterflies that swarm about it as though vieing
with it in brilliancy of color. This shrub from a
young plant set out either in the spring or fall, will
mature to full size the first summer, producing a
handsome bush, which the first year often main-
tains a height of four feet. It produces long, grace-
ful stems, which terminate in tapering panicles of
beautiful lilac-colored flowers that are of miniature
size and borne by the hundreds on a flower head
which is frequently ten inches long. A single plant
the first season will throw out as many as fifty
flower spikes, which increase greatly in number
during succeeding years. The year after planting,
it generally commences to flower in June and con-
tinues each season until severe frosts nip it. The
foliage and blooms are exceedingly fine. The shrub
is rather semi-herbaceous, by which we mean in
some latitudes it will die down to the ground and
while perfectly hardy, we recommend covering the
roots with manure, leaves or other suitable ma-

Hydrangea, “Hills of Snow.”

terials as winter approaches, as this will produce a
heavy growth the following season. This: shrub is
very desirable as an individual specimen in the
lawn and garden, or placed promiscuously in the
shrubbery border. Fine plants, 35 cents.

Buxus

(Ornamental Box)

(Sempervirens)—Useful for edging and bordering
walks, ete. A handsome shrub with deep green foli-
age. This is not as dwarf as the Sempervirens
Nana, but we find it so much more vigorous and
hardy that we advise planting this and trimming
to height required. 20 cents each; $1.50 per dozen,

Calycanthus Floridus

(Carolina Allspice or Sweet Scented Shrub)
A most desirable shrub. The wood is fragrant;

flowers of a rare chocolate color, having a peculiar ~

agreeable odor that is very penetrating. They
blossom in June and at intervals afterwards. Fine
plants, 20 cents; strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts.

Deutzias

Their fine habit, luxuriant foliage and profusion
of bloom render them among the most beautiful of
shrubs. They flower the latter part.of June.

Hardy Deciduous Shrubs Continued

Hydrangea Paniculata
Grandiflora

A great favorite, and there is nothing finer
or more showy, whether for planting in large
masses in parks or for single plants on the
smallest lawns. Blooms profusely from July
until frost, in immense white panicles, tinted

with pink and then with brown in the fully
matured flower. The plant should be cut
back each spring fully one-half of the past
season’s growth, as the flowers are much
finer if the plant is treated in this manner.

‘The flowers are much finer and larger if
grown in a good, rich soil, but the plant is
so hardy and so easily grown that success is
almost certain in any kind of soil and in any
situation. Young plants, 25 cents. Strong
flowering plants, for immediate effect, two
years old, 50 cents.

Hibiscus Syriacus

(Althea or Rose of Sharon)

Also known as the Hollyhock shrub, be-
longs to the Mallow family. These are the
most beautiful shrubs we have in our col-
lection. The flowers are of large size, very
double and full of various brilliant and striking
colors. They bloom freely during August and Sep-
tember, when scarcely any other shrub is in bloom.

follows:

These are beautiful shrubs of the easiest culture.
Their blooming extends over a period of three

old plants, 50 cents each.

ANTHONY WATERER—This beautiful gem makes
a low, compact bush and is covered nearly the
whole growing season with large umbels of deep
crimson flowers which measure nearly a foot
across. When scarcely three inches high it be-
gins to bloom, and thereafter is seldom out of
flower. As a pot plant or for growing in the open
ground, nothing can equal it.

the very finest of all shrubs. With us in May
and early June the plant is completely covered
with a mass of large white flowers presenting
a beautiful appearance. Named the “Bridal

of pure white.

The ‘Fleur De Lis” of France

No other flower has so many combinations of
color, especially of the delicate and unusuai shades,

ane the name Rainbow Flower is most fitting. They,

will grow where anything will, but do better in
well-drained locations. There is nothing prettier
than this Liberty Iris, blooming from May 10th to
June 10th. The colors are gorgeous and they com-

Hardy Perennial Phlox

This is one of the most easily grown hardy peren-
nials, and the large number of beautiful varieties
now offered make it especially desirable. These
noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals,
but the cheerful appearance of our gardens during
the summer and autumn months is much indebted
to them. They succeed in any position or soil, and
can be used to advantage either as single specimens
in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on
the lawn. To produce the best results, however,
they should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil,
and let each clump have a space of from two to
three feet in which to develop. They will continue
to thrive for several years with little attention, as
is attested by the fine clumps about old home-
steads. The ease with which they are cultivated,
their entire hardiness and the extended time of
blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful
coloring, make them especially valuable for garden
planting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence
to bloom in early summer, and are brilliant with
color until after several frosts have come. They
are admirably adapted for cemetery planting, also
for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and
unsightly objects. Do not fail to plant Phlox in
ene fall, any time from September until the ground
is frozen. :
