Planting Guide 


UR SUCCESS in business depends on your success—and to aid our present and prospective customers to 
succeed with every plant purchased from us, we cheerfully give the following “‘first aid” suggestions— 
gathered from experience and from successful plant lovers in different parts of our country. It is our 

‘aim to cover in a practical manner the questions usually asked by the average plant lover—remembering good 
soil, good drainage, water at needed time, sunshine when obtainable, the whole mixed judiciously with common 
sense and you can grow most anything. This book is not only a catalogue of everything for the home or garden 
but is a Planting Guide. Preserve it for reference. 


Roses 


Your first requisite to success is to procure summer propagated—fall or winter rested—own root roses. 
As long as a stem of such a plant remains you have the same Rose. Budded or grafted plants will throw shoots 
from the roots and eventually sap the very life from the graft and leave you a bed of wild stuff that never blooms. 
Our slogan for forty years, ““Buy Own Root Roses” is still in vogue and from the complimentary letters received 
this fall from New England to California and from the Lakes to the Gulf about the success of own rootRoses 
—roots the slogan firmer in our minds than ever and we still grow them by the million. 


Roses for Outdoor Planting 


THE SOIL—A deep clay loam with free drainage. If drainage is ers after they bloom in June. The new growth starts from the 


bad, the soil must be thrown out to a depth of 18inches, 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 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 4 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 in the north until the soil is in 
proper condition to receive the plants in the spring, as it is a 
great mistake to. plant in wet soil. We recommend fall plant- 
ing in the Southern and Pacific States. 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. 


PROTECTION—None needed in warm states. Northern States 
must protect Teas and Hybrid Teas (the Ever-blooming class). 
Bend the plants to the ground and cover to the depth of six or 
eight inches with dirt, or hill them up to within 2 or 3 inches 
of the top of plants. Do this on the approach of freezing 
weather. Or wrap each plant with straw, and about this 
wrap five or six thicknesses of newspaper; tie. this at intervals, 
leaving about three inches of plant exposed for air. More 
plants are smothered than are frozen by the average amateur. 
Let the straw flare out at the bottom to run water away from 
the root of the plant when it rains. Remove this as late in the 
spring as possible, so that you miss the late spring freezes, 
which are death to Roses after the sap starts up. 


PRUNING—Remove all old growth from the Ever-blooming 
class, as this induces new growth, from which you get the flowers. 
Cut all dead growth from Hybrid Perpetuals and Hardy Climb- 


Carnations 


Plant in the open ground, or in pots, make large specimens, and 
when brought indoors in the fall produce an abundance of flowers 
throughout the entire winter. Pinch the plant back frequently 
during the summer season. In the fall bring indoors, place in a 
four or five-inch pot, keep in temperature of forty or fifty degrees 


at night. If not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the 
epee Any good garden soil with some well-rotted manure 
_ added. 


Cultural Directions for 
Pelargoniums 


Pot in soil well enriched with well-rotted manure, repotting in 
larger pots as often as the growth of the plant demands it. 


During the hot summer months, plunge the pot level with the 
_ earth in a partially shaded place ‘and water rather sparingly as 
this is their season of rest. 


old wood and produces the blooming wood for the coming year. 
This pruning of Teas and Hybrid Teas should be done in early 
spring. 
“To dig and delve in nice clean dirt 

Can do a mortal little hurt. 

To live ’mongst lush and growing things 

Is like to give the spirit wings. 

Who works 'mongst roses soon will find 

Their fragrance budding in his mind, 

And minds that sprout with roses free— 

Well, that’s the sort of mind for me.” 


FERTILIZER—Use well-rotted manure or bone-meal when plant 
come stops. This induces new growth, from which you get 
the bloom. 


INSECTS—Aphis, leaf-rollers and slugs are the most common. 
Spray with Rose Nicotine, being sure to reach the under side 
of the leaves and the tender tips of the branches. We can 
supply this at 60 cents and 85 cents per bottle. Give your 
nearest express office. Can only be sent by express prepaid. 


M!ILDEW—The white mould-like stuff on tender leaves. Caused 
by warm days and cool nights. Dust flowers of sulphur on the 
affected leaves. Get this from any druggist. 

THE SORTS TO PLANT—To have bloom all the summer, 
plant Tea and Hybrid Teas, known as Ever-blooming Roses. 
They will all flower all summer under ordinary care. Keep 
soil well stirred. Mulch to a depth of three inches with fresh 
stable manure or lawn clippings during the heat of summer. 
If you wish Rose hedges, use all one variety. No two sorts 
grow alike, and an uneven hedge is unsightly. 

Southern and Pacific States should order Tea, Hybrid Tea, 
Climbing Tea, Polyantha and Pernetiana. These are ever- 
bloomers. Add Hybrid Perpetuals, Hardy Climbers and 
Moss for the Northern States. 

If planted early, protect from frost, wind and sun by invert- 
ing a fruit jar over each plant, tilting to admit a little air. 
Whitewash the jar on the outside or wrap with paper, to break 
the direct rays of the sun. 


Cultivation of Dahlias 


They love an open sunny location, but succeed in partial shade. 
Prepare the soil thoroughly by digging 12 to 18 inches deep, 


possibly in the fall and then 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 the 
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 culti- 
vating 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 blossoms. __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 ‘n 
the spring after the eyes show plainly, being careful, that each 
tuber has an eve. Cover them again and keep dry until planted. 
Wood ashes used sparingly and bone flour are essential to fine 
Dahlias. 


About September first carefully remove most of the old soil 
from around the plant, repotting in fresh soil, and start into 
active growth. 


Dipping or spraying with a strong tobacco tea will rid them of 
any insect pests that may trouble them. 


2 MISS ELLA V. BAINES, The Woman Florist, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 


Gladiolus 


Will do well in almost any soil under any conditions. If planted 
in the 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 of 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. 


Some varieties will bloom in seventy-five to eighty days from 
ee date of planting, but most sorts require eighty-five to ninety 
ays. 


Plant the bulbs about 5 or 6 inches deep and from 3 to 4 inches 
apart. 

In October, when the foliage has turned yellow, dig the bulbs, 
cut the stems off within an inch of the bulbs, and dry them thor- 
oughly. Then remove the old roots and store the bulbs in a cool, 
dry place where frost cannot reach them. 


Plant by the dozen, or even by the hundred. 


Perennials for the Border ; = | 


A light covering of rough litter or pine boughs where obtainable—well weighted down to 
They pack tightly over plants and in case of sleet in winter your plants smother. 


Can be planted either fall or spring. 
keep them in place, never use leaves. 
plants are smothered than are frozen. 


FERNS—Good soil, woods earth if possible, otherwise mix one- 
fourth well-rotted manure with any good garden soil, adding a 
little sand to keep the soil from packing. Place about an inch 
of charcoal or cinders in the bottom of pots for drainage. Water 
thoroughly each time, until the water goes through to the saucer, 
then stop and do not water again until the soil becomes dry, 
which you can tell by sight or touch; then water in the same 
manner as before. Give a light window, but do not place in 
direct sunshine. 


INSECTS AND FERNS—Two sorts of scale infest Ferns—th€ 
white fern scale and the brown scale. The first is quite smal 
and white, the latter half-round, brown in color and about the 
size of a Sweet Pea seed split in two. 


TREATMENT—Burn the plant affected with white scale. Make 
a lather of Ivory Soap, and with a toothbrush scrub the brown 
scale off. The brown spots on the edge of the under side of the 
leaves are seed or spores. This is a sign the frond is mature and 
is ready to rest. Many think this is an insect or disease. 


BEGONIAS, CYCLAMEN, ASPARAGUS, FRENCH HY- 
DRANGEAS, BRUGMANSIA, COLEUS, ACALYPHAS, 
RUELLIAS, FUCHSIAS, IMPATIENS, JUSTICIA, JESSA- 
MINES, PRIMROSES, BROWALIAS, SELAGINELLA, 
SAXIFRAGA, GENISTA, ALYSSUM, VELVET PLANT— 
All require same soil, drainage, water, and sunlight conditions 
as Ferns. 

CYCLAMEN—Cyclamen are great feeders, like leaf mould soil 
or good rich garden soil. Crushed charcoal is a soil sweetener 
and also acts as drainage. Mix with or place in bottom of pot. 
The bulb should be about 14 exposed when potting. Subdued 
light and good circulation of air will bring results. Allow bulb 
to rest in Summer. Repot in September. 

MEALY BUG is the only insect that troubles this list of plants. 
Procure wood alcohol, dilute one-half with water, and apply with 
a feather to the bug or affected parts. 

CHRYSANTHEMUMS-—Piant in the open ground as soon as 
danger of frost is past in spring. Mulch with well-rotted manure. 
Never allow the plants to dry out after the buds set on; this 
causes the flowers to blast. It you wish large bloom, remove 
all but one main or terminal bud from each stem. An occasional 
dose of plant food or liquid manure once a week is necessary. 
The Black Aphis is the enemy. Spray with Rose Nicotine 
twice a week. Plants can be left in the ground in winter in 
warm States. They must be lifted from the ground in cold 
States, about September Ist, with some soil clinging to the roots. 
Place in pots, keep shaded from the sun and wind for a few days, 
and remove to the house or pit, keeping the temperature as low 
as possible without freezing. 

GERANIUMS—Any good gardensoil. A temperature of 55 to 60 
degrees for house culture. Water only when dry. Our Stim-U- 
Plant tablet is a fine fertilizer for all house plants. Lady Washing- 
ton or Pelargonium Geraniums are subject to white fly and green 
aphis. One of our customers gets rid of this fly by scrubbing 
the under side of the leaves with a suds made from Ivory Soap; 


1 teaspoon of coal oil to the quart of soapy water. Also spray 
with Rose Nicotine about twice a week for aphis. 
CANNAS, DAHLIAS, GLADIOLUS, PEONIES, HARDY 


SHRUBS AND PERENNIAL PLANTS are for outdoor plant- 
ing. Fall planting for Peonies although we have fine roots in 
cold storage for those who failed to plant in the fall. The bulbs 
mentioned should be planted when the ground warms up in May. 
In Fall, when the tops are frozen, cut them to the ground, lift 
with a little dirt, place in a dry cellar, and start into growth: in 
shallow boxes about March. This applies to Cannas and Dahlias. 
Can be transplanted to open ground in May. Some prefer fall 
planting of shrubs and perennials. These are all kept in cold 
storage and can be successfully planted either season. 
ORANGE AND LEMON—Grand pot or tub plant. They delight 
in good, rich soil, plenty of root room, good drainage, and about 
55 to 65 degrees temperature in winter. Plunge pot and all in 
Open ground in summer. Keep well watered, give full sun- 
shine, and bring into the house on the approach of frost. 
OLEANDER—Open ground in the South. Tub plant in the North. 


German Iris 


IRtS—are sun loving plants, and delight in a warm, well drained — 
soil, where the roots at the surface can become hardened in the — 
sun; they will thrive well almost anywhere except in low, we Pad 
soil, for here the roots will decay. =I 

CULTURE—A dry, sunny location is best, and they do well i in 
almost any soil that is not too low and damp. By all means | 
avoid fresh stable manure; use well decayed manure or compost, 
if you must enrich the soil. : 


Hardy Perennial Phlox 


This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, can be 
used to advantage either as single specimens in the mixed border | 
or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. They should havearich, | 
deep and rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of 
from two to three feet in which to develop. They will 


hide old fences and ee bests: 


Moe pet 


Half-hardy. Good garden soil, a drink of liquid manure every 
three weeks adds color to the flowers and foliage. 


TRITOMA PFITZERII—Half hardy; lift and place in the cellar | 
= the North. Hardy in the South. Replant to open groundin | 
ay. = 
VIOLETS—Half hardy in the North. Plant in open ground or — 
cold frame as early as possible in the spring. If for house, keep — 
in a cool room, 45 to 50 degrees. If in frame, protect with 
or oiled muslin. 


PANSIES—Same treatment as for Violets. 


HIBISCUS—Fine for open ground in tropical climates, Hee 
they grow into trees. Fine pot or tub plants. Good soil—on 
third well-rotted manure or our Stim-U-Plant, good drainage, 
65 to 70 degrees temperature for house culture. Buds easil 
blasted if allowed to chill or dry out. 


SANSERVIERA AND EUPHORBIA—Pot plants and quite 
curious. Any good garden sod. Keep rather dry. Will stand 
lots of neglect and do well. : 


CRAPE MYRTLES EUONYMUS AND ALOYSIA—Out- _ 
doors for the South. Tub plants for the North. Same treat- 
ment as for Hibiscus. 

SALVIAS—Bedding plants. One foot apart. Good soil, but not 
too rich. Plant in May after all danger of frost is past. Mak 
fine eee for massing. Also fine for border of walks and ere 


be 

TENDER VINES, Such as MOON VINE, ANTIGONON, ~ 
PARLOR IVY, WANDERING JEW, SMILAX, BOUGAIN- 
VILLEA, must be planted after all danger of frost is past, 
any good s oil. 

VINCA_ AND ENGLISH IVY VINCA—Hardy south of ae } 
Ohio River. English Ivy must be protected by covering of — 
eouS Dries if you wish to leave it in open ground north of the > 

io 

BULBS—Calla Lily, Amaryllis, Milk and Wine Lily, Spider Lily, 
all require good, rich soil, good drainage, and full sunshine, 
The soil should be about ‘one-half well-rotted manure or I 
mould. Pile up your leaves in the fall, throw two or three shovel- 
fuls of dirt on them, and make your own leaf mould. Sixty 
degrees temperature. They gain new vitality by planting out 
of doors in summer, lifting in the fall, allowing bulbs to dry 
then place in pots for winter. Early fall is preferable. 

HEDGE PLANTS—The following are used for hedges and di. 
vision lines: Altheas, Spireas, Philadelphus, 
Privet, Hydrangea Grandiflora and Hills of Snow. 
plant hedges in double rows. Should be 16 inches apart in th 
row, the rows eight inches apart. 
second row eight inches from the stake. 
is used for borders of walks and beds in the South. Hardy nort 
with protection. The other Hedge Plants can be planted three 
or four feet apart, owing to their habit of growth. 

CANNA BEDS—Plant tall ones in the center of the beds. Grade 
to border with sorts of proper height. Plant 15 inches apa 
Let your florist select suitable sorts. Simply give hime the 
colors you prefer. Figure out how many plants you will require. 
eu have more time than your florist has during the busy 


eason 

HOLLAND BULBS and others, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, iv 
Narcissus, etc., are all for fall planting either in open ground o t 
pots. Our limestone soil causes these bulbs to deteriorate, and 
it is better to buy them fresh each year. Bulbs forced in wate: 
such as Hyacinths and Sacred Lily, should be thrown away 
after blooming. 

BULBS for blooming in the house must be potted in sandy soi 
watered when dry, and kept in a dark closet until the tops a 
about three or four inches above ground. The object is to get 
a pot full of roots. Bring the plant to the light, water with — 
tepid water, and you will have fine bloom. 

FREESIAS—Six or eight to a six-inch pot. Plant one-halt inch A! 
under ground, and set in direct light at once. It is a long time 
before the buds appear after the grass-like tops are formed. | 
Do not keep too warm—about 55 to 60 degrees.

Beautiful Ferns for the Home | 


An employee of U. S. Government sent to procure data on new Ferns said after his return to Washington “I must say you grow your 
ferns better than any firm I have called on.” 3 

There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative Ferns. They are ‘easily grown, ; 
thrive well in the ordinary temperature of the livingroom. See that the plants have plenty of drainage 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. Noo : 
firm offers so many distinct and choice varieties. ‘ =~ 


The ‘Ostrich Plume’’ Fern 
Nephrolepis Whitmanii. 


‘| _Evervone who has seen it is charmed with it. As someone has}; 
expressed it: ‘‘There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Ferm in 

cultivation.” In decorative effect it so far outdistances the origi-f

The ‘‘Baby’s Breath”’ Fern 


Nephrolepis Goodii. y 


This Fern is splendid to use for Fern Dish Planting. It 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 is an improved vanety, and the best of its type. Nothing is 
|| daintier or more exquisite than well grown specimens. Fine

The ‘‘Teddy Junior’ Fern 


Nephrolepis Teddy Junior. 


“Teddy Junior,’ the Fern for every household. 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 attrac-

times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing 
with fifty to sixty fronds in afour-inch pot. Fine young plants,

This is the most wonderful Fern of them all. 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.”

The ‘Fluffy Ruffles’? Fern 


Nephrolepis Superbissima. 


‘iis new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its dis- 
lishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than 
other Fern, its dense growth, much more compact, and its 
ular shaped fronds, which give it the name of ‘Fluffy Ruffles 
" The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over- 
ing, and so formed as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it the 
arance of a Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in 
abit. Fine young plants, 40c; large size, 75c.

- The ‘‘Boston’”’ Fern 


Nephrolepis Bostoniensis. 


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 ex- 
cellent plant to grow as a single specimen on table or pedestal.

Carnations The Divine Flower Pinks 


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 indoors 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, piace in a four or five-inch pot, keep temperature of 
forty or fifty degrees at night, and they vield an immense number of flowers with splendid stems, as fine as those sold by florists. If 
not pinched in they will bloom profusely during the summer. Your order is incomplete without some Carnations.
