The re- spect of all Rose lovers warrants the issuing of a champion Rose and a Tea at that, to pay due homage to one of the world’s greatest Tea Rose growers. It is wonderfully floriferous, every shoot being crowned with a flower bud, which developes into a bloom of very large size, great substance and perfect formation, with high pointed center from which petals gracefully reflex.

It is a very vigorous grower pf a ue pink shade, deepening as it opens to glowing 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. 25 cents each; 3 for 71 cents; 12 cor coisa two-year plants 50 cents each; 3 for $1.40; 12 ‘or $5.50.

DEAN HOLE—Light carmine, shaded salmon, extra fine. DEVONIENSIS—Magnolia fragrance; a delicate creamy-white. DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY (Scott, 1910.)—The Killarney that will supersede the Killarney now grown. We have confi- dence in recommending this variety as a distinct improvement on the normal type, as it possesses from ten to twelve more petals than its parent. Awarded certificate of merit by the American Rose Society. One-year plants 25 cents each; 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50.

FLORENCE PEMBERTON—Creamy-white flushed and shaded. FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H. T.)—It is very fitting 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 in- iration came to the author to write our national anthem. The owers 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. One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. ¢ F. R. PATZER (Alex.

Valuable for garden culture. i GENERAL MacARTHUR (Hill, 1905.)—A red Rose that is al- teady a fixture in many gardens, particularly does it do well on the Pacific Coast. The shape is fine; color brilliant scarlet; the only. red Rose we know of that will give General MacArthur a chase is Olivia. Be sure and try, General MacArthur. It has certainly shown up well with us in the past two seasons. We advise trying this Rose. f GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE—Orange-yellow; shaded white; free.

T.)—In color it is a deep velvety-crimson, retaining its brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The variety is doyble and uds re well formed. The fragrance is excelled only by American Beauty.

One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. HELEN GOULD —A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; ele- gant. HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What the introducers 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 suffused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very chaste and beautiful. The color, with its immense size and exquisite form, makes it without question the greatest Tea Rose ever in- troduced, and we are proud to have brought it out.’ HERMOSA—Beautiful bright pink flowers; old favorite. . HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE (H. T.)—Very long buds of pure orange or old gold; very large flowers of perfect form. Soupert & Notting, of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, say: eae is the finest yellow of all the yellow roses. Gold medal . Gladbach; certificate of merit of the German Nurserymen’s ees also prizes of honor at Leipsic, Sangerhausen and Zweibrucken. One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; two year plants 50 cents each; 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5. 50. ISABELLA SPRUNT—Flowers freely during the winter; flowers of the richest yellow color. IVORY (T.) (American Rose Co., 1903.)—A pure white sport of Golden Gate; forces well. JONKHEER J. L. MOCK (Leenders, 1910.)—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 forma- tion and highly perfumed. Color clear imperial-pink; a glorious flower. Awarded two gold medals, one silver medal and five first prizes in Europe. We can confidently recommend this sterling novelty as a most valuable addition. The largest flowers of all Hydrid Teas. A wonderful Rose. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA—A grand white garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double; fine buds and flowers. KILLARNEY (Alex. Dickson, 1898.)—The finest pink forcing Rose ever introduced. In coloring it is especially beautiful, being an exquisite shade of deep seashell pink.

One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for eee: two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. 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 undoubtedly 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. One-year plants 25 cents each, 3 for 71 cents, 12 for $2.65; two-year plants 50 cents each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.50. .) LA FRANCE—This is claimed by many to be the queen of all the Roses; bright silvery-pink. LADY BATTERSEA ‘Long pointed buds of richest red; elegant. LADY HILLINGDON (Lowe & Shawyer, 1910.)—At the Detroit Rose show in January, 1912, this was awarded the sweep-stakes over all yellow Roses. It has long willowy stems that are in no sense weak, as the buds are held upright; has a long slender pointed bud of brilliant deep golden-yellow, and a stnking pe- Culiarity of this Rose was that each day of the show this golden- yellow color became deeper yellow and more intense, unlike all other yellow Roses with which we are familiar, as invariably the tendency after being cut is to get lighter in color. This Rose at no stage of its development shows this lighter color as does Sun- burst and other of the yellow Roses, but is always an even, deep intense golden-yellow. 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 golden-yellow, very free bloomer and a grand garden Rose. LADY URSULA—Flesh-pink; large, full and perfectly formed. LAURENT CARLE (Pernet Ducher, 1907.)—An extremely vig- orous grower, 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 promising variety; another Rose it will certainly pay you to try. We know it has a future. LOUIS PHILLIPE—Bright red; very free bloomer. MADAME ABEL CHATENEY—Rosy-pink, with lighter shad- ings. MADAME CAROLINE TESTOUT (Pernet Ducher, 1890. ae This charming Rose isin great demand. It is always scarce and — always will be hard to get hold of, as it is slow in Propagating. — Clear bright satiny-pink, flowers very large and extremely _ showy; quite distinct.

If these conditions are not to be had naturally | they must, as far as possible, be provided. In the first place, if} drainage is bad, the soil must be thrown out to a depth of 18) inches, and, if it is not convenient to use tiles, about 5 or 6 inches of broken bricks or other rough material should be thrown in the! bottom, and a layer of turf laid on top, grassy side down. On) the top of the turf should be placed a layer of well-decayed farm-| yard manure, then a light layer of soil, and another layer of manure, on top of which should be placed the remainder of the soil, to which, | if light and sandy, should be added a liberal supply of well-chopped- | up turf, raising the whole of the bed to a height of about 12 inches) above the original level of the soil. In case of heavy land, a layer of lime rubble should be added, as this will help to sweeten the soil. Planting—Should be deferred until the soil is in proper condi- tion to receive the plants, as it is a great mistake to plant in wet soil. Teas and Hybrid Teas should be planted about 18 inches apart and the Hybrid Perpetuals 2 feet apart, keeping all manure away from direct contact with the roots when planting. Firm the soil well around the plants and give a thorough watering. Ella V. Baines, The Woman Florist, Springfield, Ohio. Roses for Outdoor Planting CULTURAL NOTES. Pruning—All the short, prematurely tipened wood and all small shoots should be cut clean away, leaving just the strongest shoots, from 4 to 6 inches long. Pruning should be done immedi- ately after the plants are set out, if it has not been previously done. This close pruning does not apply to the Hardy Climbers or} Ramblers; these should be shortened back if they have grown be-| yond their allotted space and thin out the very small shoots, Protection—Before the ground freezes solid the soil should be] pulled up around the base of the plants, 7 or 8 inches, and the surface of the bed afterward well covered with dried leaves or Cornstalks. When so protected, even the most tender varieties of } Hybrid Tea Roses are entirely hardy as far north as Winnipeg. This condensed list is the cream of the varieties suitable for American culture today, especially Columbia, which has asserted itself as being the very finest outdoor pink Rose so far produced.

See that the plants have plenty of drain- age and are kept well watered; never let dry out for any length of time. That we are headquarters for Ferns is evidenced by the choice assortments that we offer. every way. distinct and choice varieties. Try us for Ferns. 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 dis- tinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy appear- ance, 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. Fine young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 60 cents. The ‘“‘Roosevelt Fern’”’ Nephrolepsis Roosevelt. Tt is our good fortune and great pleasure to offer this wonderful Fern, it having been introduced in 1910. In this short time it stands second in popularity of all the Ferns, and will soon be more popular than even the old favorite Boston Fern. In general char- acteristics it resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but it will sweep that Fern from the boards for two reasons; it produces many more fronds than the Boston, thus making a bushier, hand- somer plant; then the pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving the “Roosevelt” a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern; as the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. A charming and most notable variety. Fine young plants, 25 cents each; strong plants, 75 cents. i 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 object. Wonderfully beautiful, different from all other Ferns. Fine young plants 35 cents each; strong plants $1.00 each. Be sure and try this beautiful Fern. New Dwarf “Boston’”’ Nephrolepis. This new variety produces about twice as many fronds as the old Boston type. It is much more compact, thus making a bushier pliant and one that can be used in any decorative plan desired; equally useful in pee boxes or baskets. The best of type. Fine young plants, 20 cents; strong plants, $1.00. Everyone of these Nephrolepis Ferns is entirely distinct in No other firm offers so many The “Big Four’ Fern Nephrolepis Splendida. This is the most wonderful Fern of them all; it originated with G. & R. It combines the good qualities of the four mést popu- lar 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 ‘‘Rooseyelt,”” 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 desir- able traits, forming a combination without parallel among Ferns. It well deserves the name of “Big Four Fern.” Every one who sees it goes ‘‘daffy’’ about it. This is without question the most splendid of all the Nephrolepis. Be sure and try it. plants, 25 cents each; strong plants, 75 cents. vu The “‘Wannamaker Fern’’ Nephrolepis John Wannamaker. A new Fern of wonderful beauty. Long, narrow, gracefully drooping fronds. It is not so compact as Scholzeli, and, therefore, is a very airy and graceful Fern, and very durable in the house. A tapid grower; quite distinct from other Ferns. Fine young plants, 30 cents; strong plants, 75 cents. The “Ostrich Plume Fern” Nephrolepis Whitmanii. A great Fern.

Dahlias are easily grown, requiring no special soil, or treatment, to bring them to perfection. They love an open sunny again in the spring, before planting. If the soil is poor, work in some well-rotted stable manure, or artificial fertilizer, but don’t overdo this. Dig the holes 3 feet apart, and about 6 inches deep; drive a stout stake in each hole, and lay the tuber down flat, with tae eye to the stake, and cover with two to three inches of fine soil, leaving the hole to be filled after the plant comes up. Plant any time between April Ist and June 15th. When the plants have made their third set of leaves, cut out the top, to make them branch. The most important thing from now on is hoeing and cultivating the soil, until the buds appear; then give the beds a good mulching of manure, to keep the ground moist; and water the plants thoroughly once or twice a week. If red spider or thrips appears, spray with a nicotine solution. To have large blooms, it is absolutely necessary to disbud; that means, to break off all the side shoots on each stem, above the first or second set of leaves, leaving the sprouts near the base of each stem, so as to insure a new crop of blooms. Dahlias will continue to bloom, until the frost kills the tops; the tubers are dug and stored in a dry cellar or basement, cover them with dry sand, soil or sawdust, to keep from shriveling. Divide the tubers in the spring after the eyes show plainly, being careful. that each tuber has an eye. Cover them again and keep dry until planted. UT US TU i TL SI SUT = TT TTT ATT TTT TT TITTY ST: GLADIOLI (sworp LILy) Ge are among the most popular of all garden flowers. Each year the size, color, and beauty of these wonderful flowers we are being improved upon. They are very easy to grow and will do well in almost any soil under any conditions. If planted in he richest place of your garden and given plenty of sun and moisture they will, however, repay you with extra-large and gorgeous colors. To obtain a continuation cf blooms during the greatest part of the season, it is advisable to plant at intervals of ten days, from the last week in April until the middle of June. ; ae : ome varieties will bloom in seventy-five to eighty days from the date of planting, but most sorts require eighty-five to ninety days. Plant the bulbs about 5 or 6 inches deep and from 3 to 4 inches apart. Eos In October, when the foliage has turned yellow, dig the bulbs, cut the stems off within an inch of the bulbs, and dry them thorough- ly. Then remove the old roots and store the bulbs in a Cool, dry place where frost cannot reach them. : Their easy culture appeals to all, and the freedom from disease and insect pests is another great asset. They associate so weil with all garden flowers, but above all are the decorative possibilities both as a cut flower subject and aiso in the garden. The collection we here offer is unsurpassed and will be a source of great delight to all who plant them. The flowers last a long time when cut. Do not be Suny in planting Gladioli, but plant by the dozen, or even by the hundred. - Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are particularly ne for forcing.

BULBS Lily of the Valley The modest bell-shaped flowers of the purest white are highly prized for cutting purposes, and for flowering in pots in winter they are exceedingly well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting ornamental designs for the parlor or conservatory may be produced by planting Lily crowns in Crocus pots or in pyramidal pots made especially for this purpose and pierced with holes. They will last several weeks in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a suc- session of different designs may be kept up all winter. They are ilso forced in immense quantities by ‘orists but they are the most charming when grown in large patches in partially shaded localities around the lawn near the borders of streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. 65 cents per doz.; per hundred, $4.50.

Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums These beautitul 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 abund- ant, almost lavish, profusion of bloom; and the plants lend a col- oration 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.

DAISIES, BURBANK’S SHASTA—The Shasta Daisy is one of the most marvelous productions in the flower line that has ever been brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the first of a new type which has been obtained by hybridization and rigid! selection through a series of years. Its first qualification is ex- treme hardiness. Second, it is perennial, blooming better and. more abundantly each season. Third, it is not particular as to soil. Fourth, it blooms for several months.

HARDY PERENNIALS—Céntinued LIBERTY IRIS “The Fleur de Lis of France” IRIS are sun loving plants, and delight in a warm, well drained soil, where the roots at th> sutface can become hardened in the sun; they will thrive well almost anywhere, except in low, wet soil, for here the roots will decay. An endless array of colors greets you, ranging in rich blues, delicate yellows, claret red, in the bronzes, and pure white, in all combinations imaginable. They bloom in May and June, and are represented by the old- fashioned “Flags,” Culture—A dry, sunn Long ago, so the story goes, a field of purple flowers swayed in the warm breezes that swept across the little ‘Flowery Kingdom’’ Japan. Close by the river’s edge the blossoms danced as they saw their pretty reflection in the water and they were as gay as the little maids who frolicked along the paths. The blossom were to be gathered for their lord’s house, a banquet was to be given and beauty must be everywhere. Suddenly a cold wind swept across the field, the warm stinbeamsw fled and the wee maids, looking affrightedly about them, saw a huge, black cloud spreading across the sky. And then came the Tain, sheets of it beating the flowers to the ground as the maids rushed to the shelter of a tea house. When the sun came once more, chasing away the rain, what a sight met the eye of the frightened girls as they peered timidly out. The field of flowers was flattened out before them, the poor purple blossoms draggled and torn. But, as they gazed, a rainbow arched the sky, its end seeming to rest in the irs-field. Here and there, the bright arch touched the flowers and, as the girls watched in wonder, the field of flowers once more waved in the breeze, but the flowers were no longer only pur- ple. Creamy-white were they and palest lavender, golden-yellow, blue, mauve. wherever the rainbow had touched, there was a flower the color of the rainbow. And so, to this day, this flower is known as “The Goddess of the Rainbow.” Today no longer are the iris to be found only in Japan. _The sim- plest, smallest garden in America may possess them. They grow so freely, they respond to care so readily, that, whether you own a vast estate or a suburban plot you too, may find the end of the rainbow in your iris bed. No other flower has so many combinations of color, especially of the delicateand unusual shades, and the name, the rainbow flower. is most fitting. They are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form, texture and coloring,as any Orchid, and many are delightfully fra- grant. They are not particular as to soil, will grow where any- thing 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 completely hide the plant. Be sure and plant some Liberty Iris.

Peonies as there is in Roses. Sec ta Oo ea My SPLENDID cvenvwncre HE wonderful improvements made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants have brought them into renewed popu- larity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest Roses in size, form and color, are produced in great abundance. 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.

The one-year plant is a plant divided and reset a year before. ot, S roots if they want bloom the first year. We find that Peonies should not be divided more than once in three years. “ARISTOCRAT OF FLOWERS”’ PEONIES After once Try I desire only Red ones,’’ but when I have none like them.’”’ There is as much difference in We have found that divisions do not give the customer satisfaction; they have to wait too long for the plant to become established.

HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, 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 homesteads. The ease with which they are cultivated; their entire a fresh Hydrangea-pink splashed with darker tints of violet-rose, and with white reflex.

Baines, The Woman Florist, Springfield, Ohio. 39 HARDY DECIDUOUS SHRUBS Whether planted individually or collectively Shrubs are an important feature in the adornment of any yard. The rich green of the summer foliage plays a greater part in landscape effect than is often realized. Would advise planting liberally of Shrubs. HIBISCUS SYRIACUS—Althea or Rose of Sharon Also known as the Hollyhock shrub, belongs to the Mallow family. These are the most beautiful shrubs we have in our collection. The flowers are of large size, and full of various brilliant and striking colors. They bloom freely during August and September, when scarcely any other shrub isin bloom. We offer nine of the following colors: Double Red, Double Pink, Single Lavender, Double Lavender, Single Red, _ Pink Flowering Almond ALMOND—Early spring flowering shrubs, gaily in full bloom before the leaves appear, with beautiful, double flowers of rose, snuggling tight to the twigs. 60 cents each. White Flowering Almond ink variety in growth and habit, but bearing white ey should be planted together. Same as flowers. 60 cents each. oa i eS : a The Ever-Blooming 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. Several 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 applied tc it because it seems to attract butterflies in large num- bers. Particularly we notice that it is not alone the common little _ yellow species of butterfly, but also the large and gorgeously colored ‘butterflies that swarm about it as though vieing with it in bril- liancy 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 maintains a height of four feet. It produces long, graceful stems, which terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac-colored flowers that are of min- ature size and borne by the hundreds on a flower head which is fre- _ quently 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 continues each season until severe frosts nip it. sThe foliage and blooms are exceedingly fine. The shrub is rather semi-herbaceous, by which we mean in some lati- _ tudes it will die down to the ground and while perfectly hardy, we recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or other suita- ‘ble materials as winter approaches, as this will produce a heavy growth the following season. This shrub is very desirable as an in- _ dividual specimen in the lawn and garden, or placed promiscously in the shrubbery border. Fine plants, 15 cents each; 3 for 41 cents; heavy plants, 50 cents each. Double Snow-white, Single Pure White, Fine Plants, 25 Cents Each; 3 for 71 Cents; Strong Plants 40 Cents Each. Semi-double White, Red Center, Double Purple. Calycanthus Floridus (Carolina Allspice or Sweet Scented Shrub.) A most desirable shrub. The wood is fragrant; flowers of a rare ¢1ocolate color, having a peculiar agreeable odor that is very pene- ating. They blossom in June and at intervals afterwards. Heavy two-year plants, 75 cents each. Bechtel Flowering Crab, Malus IOENSIS PLENA (Bechtel Crab)—Double pink flowers like small clustered roses. 60 Cents each. The Flowering Crab has few rivals among gorgeous Spring flow- ering trees and shrubs. They are of easy culture, and whether planted singly or in masses, give remarkable and quick results. Not only are the Flowering Crabs beautiful on the lawn, but they are used to the greatest advantage on a large scale in woodland and other mass plantings, as are Dogwoods and Hawthorns. No group of plants have greater value for enlivening open forest parks and the country toadside. They present striking effects when planted on parking strips of boulevards and wide city streets. As soon as the ground can be worked is an ideal time for plant- ing. Give rich soil and mulch heavily. Use all the water the soil will take in planting.

Blooms profusely from July until frost, in immense white panicles, tinted with pink and then with brown in the fully matured flower.

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.

One-year plants, 20 cents each; the entire twelve for $2.00. Two-year plants, 40 cents each; the entire Twelve for $4.45. te T ANTOINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)—This is the famous Mrs. This Rose is in a class by itself; no Rose ever produced has such substance Taft Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. 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 pearly-white with a delicate 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-yellow Rose. HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What the introducers say, ‘This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two year’s 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 suffused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very chaste and beautiful.~ The color, with its immense size and exquisite form, makes it without questién the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to have brought it out.” HELEN GOULD—A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer; the shade of red has been described best as a watermelon-red; elegant. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA—A grand white garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double; fine buds and flowers. CIA MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses)—Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed by this variety is well- nigh marvelous and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and elegantly 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. RADIANCE (Cooke, 1909.)—A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose. PRESIDENT TAFT (McCullough, 1908.)—This Rose was raised in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say right here, while some of you may not admire the President himself, you wul, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is without question the most remarkable of all pink Roses.” It has 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. Our late Mr. Frank Good, who was probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America, said, ‘‘Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and then you will not say enough.” 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 color 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, etc. Color delicate blush. It has no superior as a garden Rose.
