Directions to Correspondents

They are unnecessary. No rules are needed to regulate the dealings with us of the seeker for nursery stock or horticultural information.

It will always be our policy to make it convenient for any person to have business relations with us, Ask questions when you want to, and in the way which best suits. . Never hesitate to make inquiries, even when you think they may be on subjects which may seem trivial to us.

In its half century of remarkably successful and very active life, our establishment has developed from a very modest beginning to be of far greater importance than an organization for the mere growing and marketing of nursery stock. Its usefulness to the customer, to the prospective buyer and to the general public is not limited to that which strictly pertains to our own special lines, but embraces every department of horticulture. This does not mean that we sell, or desire to sell, everything relating in any way to this immense field, but our experience in all branches is so broad that we often can, by giving advice or making recommendations, save time, money and vexation for persons applying to us for information,

To be broad-minded in every detail and in every department is our aim. We are determined to serve all in a most satisfactory manner; the measure of our success depends upon the results we are able to produce.

An inquiry, whether it will result to our direct benefit or not, is certain to receive careful attention. The interests of our correspon- dents are never neglected. While we would lose no proper oppor- tunity to sell our stock, knowing from experience and observation that its superior is not likely to be found, our suggestions will never be based upon motives of a purely selfish nature. The confidence and good will of our customers and other friends are a most valuable asset, and count for far more in both present and future business than the making of a sale of plants which the buyer could have better done without.

NINE CHIEF POINTS.—Observe these leading rules: (L) Keep the roots from undue exposure to sun- light and wind; (2) have the ground well prepared with good soil, pulverized and underdrained; (3) dig large holes; (4) smoothly cut broken or badly bruised roots; (5) work the soil closely around the roots—the smaller the roots and the more numerous, the greater the pains

to be taken; (6) set the plant about the same depth it was previously, which the discoloration on the bark will plainly show; (7) prune, prune, prune; (8) thickly cover the surface of the ground with long manure (this is mulching), whether in spring or fall; (9) water with caution and with realization that a plant may easily get more than is good for it.

but without aid of artificial heat. packing material; dip the roots in thick liquid mud.

HEELING IN.—When stock cannot be immediately set out, “heel it in’’—that is, plant it temporarily in any convenient place, covering the roots thoroughly and working the soil in amongst them.

SUPPORTS.—With large trees, wire supports may be required to keep them from swaying in the wind and loosening their root-hold; or several large stones may be placed on the surface over the roots.

HEAVY SO/L.—Drainage may be secured in heavy soil by digging deep holes to reach a lighter sub-strata, or by filling in well below the roots a six-inch layer of broken stone. Holes always must be wider than the spread of roots, and in heavy soil they must be wider than usual. In replacing with better soil, top soil mixed with manure thoroughly rotted is good, or soil from a vegetable garden will usually be found well prepared.

WHAT TO PRUNE.—AI\\ trees need more or less pruning, though some will get along without it. The safest plan is to prune, the extent to be determined by the tree in question. Most hard-wooded trees require severe pruning, taking care not to cut back into old wood that is not likely to break bud easily. Those having soft, sappy wood usually require but light pruning, though quite to the contrary if in late spring when the buds are

just bursting into leaf. Then they cannot be cut back

too sharply. Some hard- wooded trees have more fibrous roots than others, and these will require less pruning than those with fewer roots.

VERY IMPORTANT.—Take a stout rammer to pack the earth tightly around the roots, and keep stamp- The roots will not be hurt

not be done with clay soil. Air pockets, places where the roots do not come into actual contact with the earth, should not exist.

PRUNING SHRUBS.— The proper pruning of

| flowering shrubs illustrates a principle that may be | applied to the pruning of trees.

With shrubs the aim is to leave and encourage strong, vigorous wood; cutting entirely away light, weak twigs, and old wood that has flowered. The strong shoots then may be lightly pruned —perhaps not more than six inches removed—which takes the weak and less ripened tips, leaving the strong flowering portions of the wood. This applies best to spring and early flowering shrubs. Those which flower in the fall or produce flowering shoots from growth made that same year, as does the Hydrangea, may be cut right back to within a few inches of the ground, and fine, strong flowering canes will spring from this.

AFTER CARE.—Watch a tree for some weeks after transplanting, but do not ‘‘worry” it. It may show signs of insufficient or improper pruning, or, if in early summer, it may need additional moisture. However shrivelled the bark may be, it is not a sign that moisture is required, unless the plant be well in leaf. Remember that a tree uses very little water when not in leaf, and too much will induce a decay of the roots. If the recommended mulching be invariably done, the soil will usually retain enough moisture to make artificial supplies unnecessary.

A USEFUL BOOK.—Every person who wishes to get the best results from his fruit and ornamental trees and bushes, should own a copy of ‘‘ The Pruning Book.”’ Very complete and of service to the amateur as well as professional gardener. It contains 545 pages and 331 illustrations, and we send it postpaid for $1.50.

Specific Recommendations Are of Value

If our interest in our business was purely mercenary, we would serve our customers’ interest in a much different manner than we do at present, and with far greater pecuniary gain. The fact is we cannot disassociate our inherent love for Nature and for all things horticultural

and the necessary making of a living.

The Weeping Mulberry is so ornamental and takes up so little room that even a small fawn could find a place for one to an advantage. It grows rapidly and its graceful lines appeal favorably to all.

OUR HERITAGE.—tThe beginning of our interest in gardening matters dates back to the boyhood of a grandparent who was a recognized authority in his sphere of horticulture. Bred in the bone, the interest and oppor- tunities have increased rather than diminished in the years that have elapsed. Therefcre, when we say we want to help you. make your home grounds a beautiful spot, you know that we mean it. When we give you information and advice, you must know that it is intended as an opinion based on knowledge and experience.

PLANTS WORTH KNOWING .—This is a chap- ter concerning a few hardy plants we think you should know about. Perhaps you do know some of them, but

one suggestion, too, may prove the notes worth reading. If we wander hastily along several subjects, it is because brevity is necessary. We will gladly amplify when you write us or come to see us about your needs.

JAPANESE MAPLES.—Perhaps you do not know that we are responsible for the wide dissemination of the aristocratic Japanese Maples. One of the first and finest specimens of the blood- leaved variety in this country still stands on our grounds, and it is nearly thirty years old. It took years to make its great merits known, and then we sold them more rapidly than they could be propagated. Others imported them, but we knew how to grow our own and better plants, and we stuck to them. The past few years we have been aiming for a stock of big, bushy plants, not cheap two or three year old plants, but ones that can go right out creditably on a lawn. It cost years of patience and effort to keep them from sales, but now we have them— transplanted two years ago, with excellent roots. Nothing is handsomer and richer for the most fastidious lawn. Nothing requires less attention, its only enemy, perhaps, being an excessive drought.

HOW TO USE THEM—Pliant Japanese Maples where they can develop on all sides. Their moderate growth makes them available for the portions of the lawn near the house, that the contrast between the colors of the foliage and the residence may be drawn. Groups may be planted, but use enough of one kind to em- phasize the habit or appearance of the individual. For instance, plant three or five of the blood- leaved variety, rather than five different kinds ; though objections to this may be accepted if it is the intention to control the growth of the plants by a little occasional pruning. The edge of any group may well be planted with the Cut- leaved Blood leaved variety, because it is dwarf and makes a natural and graceful edging. Then too, if the group or bed be made large enough, green-leaved kinds may be used to advantage. The green and purple mingle and contrast beautifully. A handsome circular bed could be made by using five Blood-leaved, three green, and a dozen Cut-leaved Blood-leaved.

A GOOD VAR/ETY.—While a long time named Cut-leaved, the Red Fern-leaved better signifies the beauty and grace of its foliage. Independent of edging purposes, this Fern-leaved is beautiful as a single speci- men or in pairs on corresponding sides of a walk. They are especially good to round off an angle.

RARE PLANTS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE.— When such beautiful kinds as the Japanese Maples re-

Thomas Meehan & Sons, Inc. 7

main comparatively rare and unmatched in beauty, why are so many of the cheap, every-day shrubs and plants used for specimen purposes? We could name hosts of lovely things so unknown as to make that fact most de- plorable to those who do know and appreciate them. Take, for instance, the Styrax Japonica, Pterostyrax and the charming Magnolia Lennei. No one could endanger satisfaction through buying them without previous knowl- edge of their qualities. They are too good to disappoint anyone.

A GREAT LAWN SPECIMEN.— Amongst the most valuable specimens for lawn decoration, there are a number that have awkward characteristics while young which deter their being chosen. This is a great pity. We overcome those bad features largely, and would like them to reach their proper place. The Koelreuteria is one of these. It tries to grow crookedly, but we stake it and succeed in getting it quite straight. It is one of the most attractive flowering trees, and its pinnate foliage is always handsome. The Dimorphanthus is another, closely resembling the Aralia. It puts on its loveliest graceful foliage outlines in summer, and flowers conspicu- ously, but in winter their remains nothing but stiff, bare poles covered with spines. In its place, this would be considered one of the most valuable parts of any collection.

AN ORNAMENTAL MAPLE.—The nurserymen have trouble getting Schwedler’s Purple-leaved Maple to grow straight enough to please every eye, yet it attains beautiful proportions, covering up every irregularity, when it is given a little time.

HANDSOME EVERGREEWNS.—Then there are things common by name, but which have as much merit and are as little cultivated as some of these prominent rare plants. Amongst the cedars are Juniperus Virgini- ana glauca—a beautiful blue-tinted form of the ordinary Red Cedar. Now nothing is hardier and stands the severity of some of the winters we have had of late years than these cedars. They finish the winter as fresh in appearance as they commence it. A golden Japanese Cedar, Juniperus Japonica aurea, is equally satisfactory, though of quite different character. It is a small plant as it grows here, and would naturally be placed in the foreground of an evergreen bed. It does not grow bushy except at the base, curving slightly upward into a “peak.” The Japanese dwarf it and ask exorbitant prices.

VERY ORNAMENTAL. — The adaptability of Yuccas to poor conditions is not well recognized. Fora light, dry soil they are unsurpassed. Plant them on a bank, singly or in masses. They are cheap but will never become too common Their showy spikes of large, bell-shaped, fragrant flowers will appeal to everyone. On a moderate sized place twenty-five to a hundred could easily be used.

THE WAY TO PLANT SHRUBS.— The mass: |

ing of shrubs in borders has a pleasing effect, and is one of the first things to be considered in new plantings. is as a smooth greensward would be to a lawn irregular and sodded in patches. A well arranged border of shrubs is never monotonous because it is fairly continu- ous, if the selections be well made, and the outlines care- fully drawn. Flowers, ornamental fruit and foliage may be skillfully interwoven to create constant interest, while the graceful curves of the margin may be so conformed to the whole as to gratify the artistic senses perfectly. From the first touch of spring, when the Cornelian

It |

Cherry bursts into yellow flowers, the Judas tree clothes its stems in pink, and the Bridal Wreath drapes the margins in white, till the Althzeas, Hydrangeas, Vitex, Caryopteris and Desmodium finish the course of flowering in the fall, the border will be of interest. But then it does not end, for the ornamental fruit of the Bush Honey- suckles, the Deciduous Holly, Snowberries, etc., lengthen it. Or we may have brilliant-colored bark, as from the stems of the Red-twigged Dogwood and the yellow, or the green of the Kerria. The field that is open for wonders in arrangement of shrubs is far-reaching, but of course the novice enters it either prepared to spend several years in arranging and rearranging, or to sink a lot of money experimentally. Here, as in many other cases, planting plans are desirable; they pay several times over.

OVERLOOK NOT THE BIRCH.— Many times plants are required for special positions, and there is almost always something ready to meet them. The place where no vegetation will exist is not likely to concern any of us. For a moment we want to talk of Birches. Nothing is better for cold climates and hill- sides. They like well drained soil, though often found in quite low ground. Especially is this true of the Red Birch, which grows by river sides. But the Paper Birch and the European White Birch are most pleasing for general purposes. They are rapid-growing, clean, and figure prominently in beautiful landscape making.

A GRACEFUL MAPLE.—For a rapid-growing lawn specimen, where an inexpensive tree is wanted, try the Weir’s Cut-leaved Weeping Maple. It has the peculiar value of the Silver Maple for such purposes with the addition of grace and fine foliage.

A BRIGHT PLANT.—You want a dash of color in a group of small trees or large shrubs. Plant a Golden- leaved Hop Tree. It is one of the few golden-leaved trees that shows good golden tints all summer. Keep it cut back every winter, to induce abundance of young

| growth, which will show the leaves to better advantage.

VERY HARDY PRIVET.—Where a large screen bush is wanted, and the ordinary Privet is not sufficiently hardy, use the Ibota Privet. This Privet is the best plant for such purpose, though the Buckthorn is also available and also very hardy.

HARDY GARDENS.—We pass by the subject of Hardy Herbaceous perennials and flower gardens with great regret. They hold more charm than any other class of plants to-day, and a growing interest is evident. The special study we have given them for years, and the breadth given that department of our business, has been warranted. More than anything else, perhaps, these require intelligent selections and well laid plans. A garden can be made either a sore disappointment or a perennial joy. Apart from flower gardening, the peren- nials may be used for general purposes, in beds, or to brighten shrubbery borders. For this purpose use Trito- mas, Helenium, Iris, Lilies, etc.

WE CAN HELP YOU—If we can be of service to you, will you let us know at once? We like to point out good things and effective ways. Our help is free, though we sometimes discover and point out that distinctly professional services are required. In such cases, refer- ence is made to our Landscape Department, a separately organized force, but with unlimited experience of the most practical nature.

Rare and Choice Oddities

These are not freaks, but very worthy, and in some cases, unknown plants. No matter how particular the planter may be he may well feel proud of having any of this stock on the most prominent position of his lawn.

Who ever heard of a dwarf Norway Maple, much less seen one growing ?

The specimens are choice as well as rare.

Globe Norway Maple. A most handsome plant. Its leaves are the deep green of the Nor- way Maple, yet it is of slow, very compact growth. It takes years to attain its greatest height of ten or twelve feet. Even when small it is of unique appearance and decidedly ornamental.

3 to 4 ft., heavy, $3.00 each, $25.00 per IO 6 ft., $4.00 each

Styrax Obassia. A great acquisition toa collection of lawn specimens. Its pretty leaves are from four to six inches in diameter. The flowers are a striking feature, being produced in profusion along stems five to seven inches in length. These are white and sweet-smelling, and appear in May.

The Reason We Charge for Packing

Our plants are priced at their actual value. The usual method of hiding the charge for the packing in the price of the stock is not always fair to the buyer. The percentage which is gencrally added to the real value of the plants makes it necessary for some persons to share a cost of packing which might have been less had they paid only for what they received. Many plants can be packed for a trifle, others take more time and material, but, depend upon it, the nurseryman doesn’t lose on either class. How unreasonable it is to expect something for nothing.

A charge is made for packing shipments, but barely sufficient to cover the cost. This item is not expected to yield a profit. We have no reason for not being thorough—our price is gladly paid—so we need not skimp any detail, but give all the care and attention required. Our packing has made a reputation for us. When the shipment is made in a box the cost is a mere trifle under our new ‘“‘ Packing Rebate System.’’

Our Prices Are Right

We fix our rates, making them as low as stock of equal quality can be sold for, and then we abide by them. No private commissions, rebates, etc., are offered.

Every customer can depend upon us and may feel absolutely confident that he is receiving as many advantages as anyone else could secure.

Occasionally, when the stock warrants it, we can make special rates on large orders or when quantities of any one class of stock are needed.

Take twenty-five of any one kind or in assortment and we will have each item charged for at the rate it is quoted at by the hundred. This favorable rule applies to the departments of trees, shrubs, evergreens, vines and hardy perennials, but the twenty-five or more must come from the one department, and may not combine say ten trees and fifteen shrubs, or fifteen shrubs and ten perennials.

Plants selected at our nurseries or special selections will be charged for strictly according to their value. This does not mean that the rates will always be advanced.

We Ship All Over the World

We ship everywhere and our season never ends.

By our system of packing we are enabled to send stock to most distant points and have it reach its destination in perfect condition. Our customers in South Africa and Australia have ilways expressed great satisfaction with the state in which our plants arrive.

The tree buyer in the United States, whether living in Maine or California, can feel confident that his purchase from us will reach him in the best of shape. The distance the stock mist travel i, always taken into consideration and then packed accordingly, allowing plenty of t:me for delays. This special care pays.

Mine Pretty Judas Free

(€exrcis)

An odd name, but it is an odd plant. Sometimes it is known as Red Bud.

What a charming sight both the Japanese and the American do create in the early spring when the unique and decidedly pretty pink flowers appear. Instead of having visible stems they seem to be coming right out of the bark, even the trunk of the tree having its share ; looking as if the whole plant was covered with a big swarm of pink or rose-colored bees. The American variety is the stronger grower, but the Japanese is ambitious enough to make up for its slower habit by producing a larger crop of flowers in proportion. Plant both; each variety should be represented on every lawn of a half acre or more.

Our book ‘‘ Hardy Plants for Every Purpose ’’ says this of them.

Most Interesting Tree in America

Before there was such a republic as the United States, John Bartram, the early American botanist, discovered a wonderful plant, now known as the Gordonia pubescens, on the banks of the Alatamaha River in Georgia. He named it the Franklin Tree, or technically Franklinia Alatamaha, in honor of his close friend, Benjamin Franklin.

Identified with this tree is a touch of romance. In 1775, fifteen years after its discovery, Bartram’s son William visited the spot and brought back a few seeds from which a fine specimen was grown in his garden, which is now an historic. part of the Philadelphia park system. The spot, upon which the original and only stock in the world was found, has been lost for over a century, or at least no one has been able to redis- cover the plant. Several descendants of the Bart- ram stock are pretty speci- mens in Fairmount park, and there are a few—very few—scattered elsewhere.

Price, $1.50 each; but our supply is so limited that we will only sell the plants when orders for them include at least five dollars’ worth of other nursery stock.

Pay After Stock Has Been Examined

We are disposed to be liberal in regard to terms of payment, having great confidence in the quality and satisfaction giving properties of our stock.

Naturally we prefer to receive cash in advance from persons who have not before dealt with us, yet we are perfectly willing in all cases to extend credit until after the plants have been received and examined. Wesell for prompt cash; our bills are net and are not subject to any discount.

The Ash-leaf Maple Deserves Popularity

(Negundo)

There is a constantly increasing demand for this tree. Already it is extensively planted in the West; where its extremely rapid growth, its hardiness and ability to stand the climatic peculiarities have made it of great service. These virtues entitle it to consideration for Eastern use. Commonly it is known as Ash-leaf Maple or Box Elder.

It is of service in many ways. For street or avenue planting it is suitable, and a specimen should be represented on a lawn of any size.

Several years ago we recognized the value of this tree and started to grow a fine stock of it. Now we have an excellent lot of shapely plants in several desirable sizes. We imagine that we have plenty, but it is well to order early. That we have the best stock in this country cannot

be questioned. 6to 7 ft., $1.00 each, $ 7.50 per Io, 25 for $12.50 PCO Out nie G Oy ae VORO“OOme: fers 25 fone: 18.75 12 copy ts ihe OOke oa! NTISOO asus 25 fOr 25.00

Plant the American Ash

(Fraxinus.)

A noble tree. Grows rapidly and is handsome at all times. Great for shade, and makes a fine specimen for lawn or avenue planting. Set an unbroken row along a driveway, arrange one here and there on the lawn where a chance to develop may be had, and you will feel glad our hint was taken. This tree can be strongly recommended and we feel confident it will give satisfaction.

Our stock is magnificent, shapely specimens, frequently transplanted, and very healthy

and vigorous. 6 to 8 ft., $1.00 each, $7.50 per Io. 8 to ro ft., $1.50 each, $10.00 per 10, 25 for $22.50. 12 to 14 ft. specimens, $4.00 each, $35.00 per 10, 25 for $75.00.

It’s a Graceful and Noble Tree

(Ulmus Americana)

Many are the good features of this typical American tree.

Some of the finest specimen trees in our country are American Elms. To see a well developed one—and all attain perfect proportions in a little time—is to worship the beauty shown in its graceful proportions and majestic habit. Young plants occasionally fail to give a proper suggestion of their future greatness, yet they soon show increasing indications of their heritage of grace. Those we offer will not take long to gladden the eye of the beholder, as they are advanced well over the line of awkwardness. The staking and training given our trees are quite uncommon and, though it may add a trifle to the cost, the buyer who can appreciate quality knows that it is to his profit to secure this grade of stock.

Specimen Oaks at Sacrifice Prices

Before spring has passed the whole ‘‘ Block Number 21’’ must be cleared and entirely replanted with other stock.

High grade Oaks like these have a value as standard as gold. Every one can be sold at its regular value, but it naturally would take longer than if we priced the stock at half. We must study to make every foot of ground count, and there are so many bare places in this block where trees have been sold that it pays us best to clear off the remainder at a sacrifice.

A fine lot of prizes will be taken from ‘‘ Block Number 21”’’ this spring. The trees are very thrifty, and first-class in every respect They have been frequently transplanted, and many varieties lift with such magnificent roots that the price of the tree barely pays for the careful digging and handling it receives. Each specimen is personally selected and tagged.

The prices quoted after each item are the actual value of the specimens. Where but a single plant is taken no reduction in price will be made. Buy all of one item and a reduction of one-half will be made. For example: One Quercus Castanea would cost $4.00, yet taking the lot of three the cost would be but $6.00.

A discount of 33% per cent. will be allowed when less than all of one item is taken— excepting on single plants.

Take 25 in any assortment you desire and half price will be given.

We will be pleased to give detailed information in regard to this choice assortment.

Use These for Specimens

A few uncommon plants for special use are named. ‘These should be planted as specimens se that their full beauty may be seen and appreciated.

The stock offered is good and strong ; it very promptly.

Aralia spinosa. A_ singular-looking, small-sized tree, growing to a height of ten or fifteen feet, with very prickly stems. It bears panicles of white flowers in immense masses in August, and as these grow old they take on handsome and very showy tints. This plant is appropriately named the Devil’s Walking Stick, or Her- cules’ Club. Its habit of occasionally suckering from the roots adds to its beauty.

The Salisburia or Maiden Hair Tree is good for all purposes; and especially for lawn decoration. Bugs and pests of all kinds hate it so deeply that they avoid it more than any other tree.

Excellent Fertilizers

Improve the lawn. Make the grass healthy and of better color, and how much more attractive the whole place will look. Spread our special brand of pure Canada Unleached Hard Wood Ashes or our Unadulterated Bone Meal. Both are good; we secure only the best, and brands of more superior quality are not at present obtainable.

We make a special feature of collecting in Canada the finest grade of Wood Ashes. Ours are made exclusively from hard woods,—a most important detail,—as those from softer wooded trees are not so valuable in fertilizing value. TZhey are sifted clean.

The Wood Ashes we offer are rich in potash and phosphoric acid. The wood lime they contain is of great value as it sweetens sour soils, makes them lighter and removes the mossy growths. Trees and shrubs, both fruit and ornamental, outdoor and greenhouse plants are alike benefited by a yearly application.

Showy Hardy Azaleas

The display made by the various Azaleas places them in a position which cannot be assailed. The showing of brilliant flowers they give always will be a feature, and they need fear no competition. The Evergreen Azalea (Azalea amoena), of which we have made a specialty for some years, is a particularly successful candidate for universal popularity. ‘All year it is handsome, and especially when it is making its bright showing. When used as a hedge plant it makes a brilliant sight.

Azalea amoena. Evergreen; leaves small, almost round. A dwarf, compact grower. The second week in May it is covered with claret-colored flowers. Besides making a conspicuous specimen it is used for planting around the edges of Azalea and Rhododendron beds.

From pots, 5oc. each, $5.00 per 10, 25 for $12.50

Azalea Mollis. Chinese. The Mollis is of dwarf, sturdy growth, and has much larger flowers than any other hardy sort. There are two principal colors, red and yellow, but experimenters are getting shades of these colors.

18 to 24 in., bushy, 75c. each, $6.00 per Io, 25 for $12.50

Azalea Pontica. Ghent Azalea. (3 to 4 ft.) Existing in many colors, hardy and beautiful when in bloom, it is a favorite with planters. It flowers the latter part of May. It is largely used for planting in beds with Rhododendrons or with Azalea Mollis, making a particularly beautiful showing.

Big, Bushy Shrubs at a Big Bargain

Large, shapely bushes for immediate effect are always in great demand. The average American is not patient enough to wait for plants to grow; he wants results as soon as the stock is planted, and he is willing to pay for them. Of what consequence to him is the saving of a few cents on a plant compared with the saving of a year or two?

Take into consideration the age and quality of this stock, and the prices seem to dwindle into insignificance. Think of the year’s display gained, of the extra satisfaction crowded into a life altogether too short, and the trifling extra cost is unworthy. of consideration.

This is truly magnificent stock. The great, big, well-developed specimens, which are right well accustomed to being moved by this time, as they have been transplanted frequently enough, will give such a good and prompt effect that they will make everyone who secures them feel as if they were one of the best investments ever made.

' The prices are most too low, considering the time and trouble expended upon these specimens.

We make the selections to suit individual requirements. The assortment will be good in every way—no rubbish, nothing undesirable—and the plants will be ones we would set out on our own home grounds. They will average from 4 to 5 feet in height.

Lists of the exact plants we propose sending will gladly be submitted for approval.

An Almost Indispensable Shrub (Deutzia)

There would be a severe loss to the spring display of hardy shrubs if the various varieties of the Deutzia were not included. They always will be a great feature of the season.

But ordinary attention is required and they can. be depended upon to bloom freely. In early June numerous clusters of pretty white or light pink flowers appear and make a sight which is pleasing to an extreme. ,

Its sturdy, shapely habit adapts the Deutzia for general use.

Make a bed or group of them, always placing Deutzia gracilis in the foreground, as it never grows tall. Three very desirable varieties are specialized.

For all ornamental purposes the Deutzia is one of the most useful shrubs. Its flowers are pretty, it is a thrifty grower, and in every way it ts satisfactory. is of extra value.

Pink Flowers are Rare in Autumn

(Desmodium penduliflorum.)

What a pity the Desmodium penduliflorum hasn’t a prettier name. Such an unwieldy title must prove a handicap. We would like to christen it Autumn Glory or September’s Pride, or something else appropriate, and then it might be more likely to take the public’s fancy. There’s something in a name, after all.

We have good reasons for attempting to make the usefulness of this plant more widely- known. It deserves attention.

Very hardy and easy to grow. In fact, it cares for itself, expanding in size and. beauty with each year, even though its nature is to have its stems die to the ground every winter.

A display as handsome as it makes is rare even in spring. ‘Try to picture a bush about three feet in height and the same in thickness completely covered with flowers resembling in form those of a Sweet Pea, but smaller, and of a pleasing shade of pink.

Use it extensively throughout your shrubbery beds. It adds a dash of bright color at a time they most need something to liven them up.

Handsome Lilac Novelties |

(Syringa Rothomagensis and villosa class) ©

Both the flowers and style of growth of the Syringa Rothomagensis are so attractive that they will appeal favorably to the person whose interest in Lilacs is not very strong. Its flowers are produced in great profusion, and are composed of large panicles of a good shade of reddish purple. Its habit is more open and graceful than many other kinds, the branches not being so heavy, and its foliage is also quite distinct.

We have some very bushy and shapely plants. The sharp pruning they have received has been such a benefit that they look as if we would be justified in charging more than our present price for them.

Mock Oranges are Never Undesirable

(Philadelphus)

The very name of these good, old-fashioned plants carries with it a suggestion of something pleasant.

One never tires of the delicate yet penetrating fragrance of the pretty white, single blos- soms of the Mock Orange. The flowers appear in great profusion and create an effect which is as gratifying to the eye as the odor is to the sense of smell. One of the writer’s earliest recollec- tions of things horticultural is the sight made by a fine row of large plants on an untenanted property; and how the people did flock from a distance to appropriate big bunches of the sweet- smelling blossoms.

Our stock is extra vigorous. See the low prices on the desirable assortment offered in our price list. Especial attention is directed to the strong, growing variety, Zeyheri.

With our class of trade it would be no benefit to us to send out mere slips to persons who want something better. For this reason we do not offer ‘‘ Mailing Sizes.’’ Our Roses are produced on their own roots from the thriftiest plants, and in no way resemble in quality the imported kinds, which are offered so soon after potting that they are often still in dormant condition and with absolutely no root action. Plants on their own roots may cost a trifle more —not always—but they are far more satisfactory and of greater permanent value.

To reduce weight and lessen shipping ex- penses, we remove the clay pot and substitute a patented paper one. Shipments are never made before the end of April or in May. Orders should be entered early. Judging from last season’s sales, secured with but little adver- tising, our present limited stock will not be half enough to meet the demands.

Never Omit this Shrub

(Hydrangea)

No hardy plant can take the place of the Hydrangea. The flowers it shows so freely appear at a season when they are most needed to relieve the dearth of display.

Popularity so well merited will never wane Hydrangeas grow rapidly, require almost no care, and always produce a big crop of huge flowers. We have acres and acres of them, and when in bloom they can be distinguished for miles, looking in the distance like patches of snow

drifting on the sea of other plants. -

The hardy Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora ts known and valued by everyone at aff interested in feetieutiree: masses it is magnificent and even a single specimen makes a great showing in August. It is doubtful if there isa finer lot anywhere than those we are offering at trifling prices. The heavy grade is exceptionally reasonable.

Our plants are as fine as we—or anyone else for that matter—have ever grown, and the heaviest grade is magnificent.

Use more than one kind in order that asuccession of bloom will be secured. The panicu- lata grandiflora of course makes the largest heads,—simply immense,—but the two other varieties mentioned, one coming before and the other after it in flowering, are of great interest and should

be included in every planting.

Here are prices on shrubs of recog- nized worth and standard quality that are so low as to be rare.

Often enough rates are reduced on stock which has been crowded or ne- glected in some way ; but in such cases, low as the prices may be, they seldom descend to the same level as the quality. Because of the unusual care and atten- tion our stock receives, we never have any occasion to cut prices because of any decrease in quality or grade.

Note that the varieties are the best and most popular. You have our as- surance that the quality of the stock is as high as ever has been grown. No person who needs a few shrubs for a bed, a group or a border, can afford to neglect this opportunity. No great knowledge of bushes is required. Make up your assortment, using any or all of the kinds listed, and no mistake will be made.

Buy 25 in any assortment, and each item will be priced at the lowest rate at which we quote it—the roo rate.

In every instance the actual cost of the packing will be charged, but this is a mere trifle under our ‘‘ PACKING REBATE. SYSTEM,”’ when the ship- “ment is made in a box.

Its Handsome Foliage Sells It (Viburnum tomentosum)

One of the many Japanese varieties of Snowball, known technically as Viburnum tomen- tosum, is so handsome in foliage and form that it compels admiration. What if its flowers

are not remarkable? The season for bloom- ing is seldom long in any event, and the appearance of the bush is of greater conse- quence. To many per- sons the flowers have a charm, perhaps be- cause of their simpli- city and their nature of appearing in flat heads. The showy berries which follow are an important fea- ture, being quite scar- let at first and then later changing to black.

This plant does well almost every- where, and the ease with which it can be successfully transplant- ed is worthy of note. It is adapted for gen- eral use as an orna- mental shrub. We have an_ excellent

opinion of its value. Our stock is large

If the Spirgeas are the most useful and popular of the hardy shrubs—and we believe them to be—they deserve all the reward they have received.

Not only does the large number of good kinds permit a wide range of usefulness, keeping them from becoming monotonous, but their very hardy nature and freedom from any undesirable feature renders them invaluable in horticulture.

Our collection is a splendid one, both in regard to selection and quality. The plants are remarkably strong and vigorous.

A Hedge is More Attractive Than a Fence

(California Privet.)

Plant a hedge instead of building a fence or wall. The substitution will be most satis- factory and will surely save money as well as cater to your artistic sense. It is easier to prune a hedge than to paint a fence and far more pleasant.

Use the California Privet. It grows rapidly, makes a handsome effect, needs no particu- lar care and is far from expensive.

Our stock is immense and we are offering an exceptionally choice lot of plants; at less than their value. So thrifty, vigorous and well rooted are these plants that they will give results very promptly. Plant them nine inches apart.

The Photinia villosa may well be termed one of the most useful of the small-sized trees in American cultivation. It might be better classed as a large-growing shrub, attaining a maximum height of only ten or twelve feet.

The good clusters of white flowers it bears in May are followed in the fall by bright red, very ornamental berries, which are retained for a very long period, making a great attraction in the winter when the lawn is bare of pretty things. The foliage is excellent, especially in the fall, at which season its colors are so gorgeous as to place it above competition.

Rhododendrons produce flowers of dazzling beauty. All the plants we list came from England’s best grower. We prefer them to the cheaper, though fess satisfactory, Holland-grown stock, and so does everyone else who knows the respective value of the two classes of plants.

Most Desirable Hardy Rhododendrons

The best that England produces—selected stock, first-class in every respect.

What if Holland-grown stock is a trifle cheaper? Its quality is not as good and it is not

as satisfactory as our higher grade, higher priced plants.

Ours are choice, named, tested varieties.

They are strong and thrifty, and will prove a

good investment. Each still carries such a good ball of English soil attached to its roots that it

will be easy to transplant.

Making an Old-fashioned Garden

ORIG/N.—Often the charming Old-fashioned Gar- den started with a “ piney”’ root given by a neighbor, a

slip brought from some distant point; or a package of | Sweet William or other seed was planted and cared for | without any special forethought or arrangement, with the |

result that the plants made the garden a delightful jum- ble and a wealth of blooms as the season passed. Each plant had its own particular history and associations. Such was the attraction of the smaller gardens of colo- nial times and the cottage gardens of England. The more elaborate gardens of the same period were laid out in formal manner, usually of geometric design, the beds edged with box or tile, the same unconventional style of planting being observed. Modifications of the old- fashioned gardens adapted to present-day conditions are recognized to be the most satisfying to the flower-lover, the most economical where such restrictions are neces- sary, and contain more true nature and art than all others

\ Achillea The Pearl bears flowers during a long period, and which are of great value for cutting.

HARDY PERENNIALS. — Hardy Herbaceous Perennials may be described as plants that die to the ground in winter, but grow again from the roots in spring; so it is not necessary to plant them every year like Cosmos, Sweet Peas, Summer Asters, etc., and other annuals. Cannas and Dahlias are :Herhaceous Peren- nials, but they are not hardy; although’they are good to mix judiciously with the hardy plants, where they will do much to make the garden bright.

HARDINESS.—~Some are more hardy than others, and many are adapted for particular positions only; so that an extensive collection like ours must carry a few re-

quiring special treatment. The interests of our custom- ers are watched. Where it is evident that the plants or- dered will not give satisfaction, we notify the buyer before shipping. This is seldom necessary, because old- fashioned hardy plants as a class give more satisfaction than others.

PLANTING TIME,—If the weather is suitable the majority may be planted at any time during the spring, summer or autumn. LEar\y spring planting, just as soon as the ground can be worked after the frost has entirely left it, is best to obtain the finest results the following summer.

PREPARATION. — Almost any kind of soil is suitable for a hardy flower garden. Success depends more on the preparation than anything else. Dig deeply; eighteen inches to two feet is not too deep, and work in a good covering of well-rotted stable or cow

manure, especially if the ground be poor.

EXPOSURE.—Selections may be made to suit almost any exposure. The majority of flowering plants require the sun at least a portion of the day. Partial shade is somewhat beneficial. Odd corners where the sun does not reach are fine positions for shade-loving plants and ferns,

HOW TO PLANT.—Set the plants as deeply as possible without burying the crown or ereen portion. Press the soil firmly around them. ltis always desirable to water if the ground is at all dry, but not essential unless the weather be hot and season advanced.

WHAT TO PLANT.—At all times we are glad to give customers the benefit of our knowl- edge and experience and to aid in making selec- tions that are best suited for particular positions or purposes. Send us the size of the bed or border, describing the location and effect desired, and we will make a selection and submit an esti- mate without charge. Last season’s book, “Hardy Plants for Every Purpose,’”’ (free) gives quite in- teresting, useful and complete descriptions.

SPRING CARE.—The first warm days in spring awaken an interest in the hardy garden. One feels an inclination to examine the sunny border, and what a pleasure it is to see the Win- ter Aconite, Christmas Rose, Snowdrop and other very early blooming plants making a showing, which is doubly enjoyable because of its rarity and its contrast to the wintry features of the season just passed. Soon the precious green shoots of later plants will push through the soil. Then, when the location of each plant may be seen, the whole bed should be carefully forked over. If manure was spread

| in the fall, it should be worked under, and the whole

made tidy. Now is an excellent time to dig up and divide any clumps which have become too large, or to re-arrange any that are not well placed.

SUMMER AND FALL —Very simple. Pull out weeds, water during dry spells, and stake tall growing plants which are apt to sprawl over their neighbors and- look untidy.

WINTER CARE.—After the severe frost has dis- couraged even the lingering Chrysanthemum, cut off the

Thomas Meehan &

dead tops of all Hardy Perennials to within a few inches of the ground, and give a coating of about three or four inches of manure, as a food and to protect the more ten- der plants.

COLOR EFFECTS.—When planting mixed beds or borders colors need not be taken very seriously into con- sideration. Some arrangements are better than others; but it is not often that colors are placed so they create an effect out of harmony. Anyhow, these can easily be noted and corrected the next season.

BORDER TREATME NT.—Narrow borders along a wall or fence are grand places for old-fashioned hardy flowers Arrange the tallest growing along the back, the medium in the middle, and the dwarf ones in the front. The recesses here and there may be utilized to sow and plant such annuals as Pansies, Mignonette, Mari- golds, Stocks, etc. A trifle different treatment is required for narrow borders that are approached and seen from both sides. Very tall, strong-growing varieties should not be used. Of course, plants like the Foxglove and English Delphinium are all right, but the selection should be made with considerable care, using chiefly dwarfer, compact-growing sorts, and arranging the tallest in the middle. Old-fashioned flowers are very unconventional in their habit, so that straight lines and formal arrange- ment should naturally be avoided.

BRIGHTENING SHRUBBERY BORDERS.— Little else is wanted when the Golden Bell, Spirza, Judas Tree, Lilacs and Mock Oranges arein bloom. After their display is over the shrubbery borders appear a trifle dull and uninteresting; and at this time it is astonishing what a few Hardy Perennials will do when properly placed. Arrangement is a simple matter. With a background of shrubs to work on, the location of each clump or mass will suggest itself.

OSE LILTES—For mixing in with Rhododendrons and Azaleas there is nothing better than the Lilies. Our native Turk’s Cap. Lily (Lilium superbum) and the Tiger Lily are grand for this, readily naturalizing in such

positions. ‘Then there is the tall, pure spikes of the An- nunciation Lily (candidum) to show well against a back- ground of shrubs. Use the glorious Gold Banded Lily of Japan and the varieties of speciosum, but place them well to the front, as they do not grow very tall. For spring planting, be certain to use our pot-grown stock ; especially prepared for setting out at that season.

A PLAN’S VALUE.—It pays to have a plan of your hardy garden prepared in advance. A good one saves both time and money and insures satisfactory re- sults for the present as well as the future. Plans and the filling in of sketches require considerable thought and time, even though they apparently are not elaborate. This is the work of a Landscape Gardener, and an ex- pert draughtsman. The Landscape Department of Thomas Meehan & Sons, Inc., with which we have immediate connection, has perhaps the best equipped and ablest organized staff of experienced men in this country, ready to perform any service in that line. By arrangement with that department the work we have referred to will be done at a nominal charge for this service, and is really trifling in comparison with the value and satisfaction obtained from a comprehensive plan. In cases where plantings are large and compli- cated, or where the purchasers have neither the time nor the inclination to attend to the work, we strongly advise the use of such plans, as they cover every detail com- pletely, and are so easily understood that any one at all interested can work from them and oy carry them into proper execution,

ITS CHAR M.—One never tires of the Old-fashioned Garden. Though it lives almost forever with but little attention, it never appears the same two days in succes- sion to its owner. Each morning brings its pleasant surprises and changes; some dear old friend gives a welcome after a winter’s sleep, or another you expected to lose thrills you with gladness because it survived after all. Every year adds to the pride of possession; and love for each set of flowers grows so deep that former owners always miss their hardy gardens more than any other of the horticultural treasures they possessed.

The good old-fashioned Foxglove is still one

of the most popular of the Hardy Perennials.

A Great Bargain in a Hardy Garden

Among the better and more intelligent class of garden owners this offer will be the most popular of all made this season by any horticultural establishment.

It eclipses all we made in previous years, and the assortments and stock then were so good that it was a common occurrence for one person to order three or four, and many a garden lover was made happy by the present of one from some interested friend.

From early spring until late fall our hardy gardens will be a source of pleasure. Our special assortment offers are a great attraction to persons who appreciate the unusual value contained in them.

This Harpy GARDEN NUMBER THREE is a bargain attractive from every standpoint. It contains a careful selection of the best hardy perennials, particular pains being taken to secure the proper proportion of colors for artistic effect, and to obtain a pleasing display commencing with the advent of spring and closing only after the frosts have discouraged all outdoor bloom. One set of plants will succeed another in making the garden gay with color.

The very nature of the flowers in this assortment indicates that it will be easy to arrange them in an artistic manner ; their character suggesting that an informal method be used. That definite charm of the old-fashioned garden can readily be retained and at the same time other attractive features added by this larger and better assortment than Grandmother’s garden contained.

Each year this garden will improve in beauty and value. During the first season, while the plants are becoming established, a few annuals may be used in it to an advantage.

Thomas Meehan & Sons, Inc. 33

The ease with which the plants may be cared for, the fact that they live almost forever with but little attention—no trouble or expense in replanting every year—their trifling cost, the abundant all season supply of choice flowers for mantel, table or other decoration, are features which will strongly appeal to everyone who has 150 square feet of space to beautify, for this collection will nicely plant that area.

This stock is full of life and vigor; it can be expected to produce results promptly ; it will be dug and packed with great care, every package being neatly tied up and labeled, so that mistakes cannot happen in the arrangement of the varieties in the garden. We ship in a light, strong box, so that the freight or express charges will be but a trifle. It would reach San Fran- cisco, or other remote points, in splendid condition.

Our first Hardy Garden Offer was 36 plants for $5.00. It made a great record. Then last spring we advertised 50 plants for $5.00, and it became the success of the season and up to that time the most popular offer we ever made. Fall of 1904 our offer of 55 plants for $5.00 was the greatest seller of all, so this spring we will fullow the same idea of g ving five plants over the fifty for good measure, and in order to more than cover the freight which the buyer must pay.

An English Treasure

. (Primula Polyanthus.)

If you had ever seen the sight the Polyanthus make in almost every English garden, it would be unnecessary to do more than to state that we have an exceptionally fine lot—all pot- grown—raised from imported seed; but they are comparatively unknown in our country and need some advertising.

These beautiful spring flowering plants are very much like a Primrose in habit, but the flowers are produced in trusses, many on one stem. ‘The prevailing color is a rich brown, the edges of the petals being bordered with yellow and known as gold laced.

Place it in a semi-shaded situation. See that it receives a reasonable amount of moisture and does not get too much of our cruel, blazing sun.

Extremely Popular Hardy Chrysanthemums

The glorious autumn display made by the useful Hardy Chrysanthemums continues to brighten the nearly desolate garden even after the first attack or two of Jock Frost. This is but one reason for their great popularity.

For cutting for indoor decoration they hardly have a superior, especially as they appear at a season when other flowers in the hardy garden have gone to their long sleep. The size of the bloom is not large,—that is perhaps their greatest charm in most cases,—yet the variety of colors and the great quantities produced by each plant more than offset this deficiency. What a cheerful sight they do make!

For years we have been gathering an assortment, which now cannot be surpassed. It consists of over 70 of the choicest varieties obtainable, everyone named. ‘There is not an undesirable one in the lot.

Of the entire assortment we might mention this two dozen as being of special worth.

Set out these plants at the end of April or in May and a perfect blaze of color will be your reward next fall, and every fall thereafter, if but a little attention be given the stock. It really is surprising to see how well these plants repay ordinary care.

Greatest of the Garden F lags

Here’s a beautiful plant !

Any hardy garden will be the better for its presence in liberal quantities.

The attractive features of the numerous varie ties of Iris, commonly known as Flags, or Fleur de Lis, make them: popular in all sections.

Of the dozens of good kinds there is one in which we take especial interest. It is not an old variety and its merits are yet but little known. A few years ago we recognized its sterling qualities and imported it heavily. Ever since we have been propagating it in order to obtain a stock sufficiently large to meet the demands its merits will surely create for itself.

The name is Silver King. Appropriate!

The flowers are large and handsome and as near a pure white in color as can be found in the Iris family. They are produced in great abund- ance on long, strong stems—excellent for cutting —and they. are fragrant to a very pleasing extent. They are decidedly ornamental and their texture is more substantial than that of the Japanese class, and therefore they are more satisfactory and lasting for cut-flower purposes.

Use this variety freely. Place it in your garden of hardy plants, plant it in beds—you should see the sight one of ours makes when in bloom—and arrange it here and there in the foreground of shrubbery plantations.

Useful for Bouquets

(Heuchera sanguinea)

The small, intensely brilliant scarlet flowers of the Heuchera sanguinea, produced on long, slender, strong stems, are of great service for mixing in bouquets of hardy flowers, adding a touch of color and an artistic finish which hardly any other plant could impart. They are as well adapted for use without the addition of any others. ‘‘ Coral Bells’’ is quite an appropriate common name.

The foliage is an attractive feature and the period of blooming is long. Do not omit planting plenty in the hardy garden.

Our plants are strong and will make a grand display next June and July.

In August the Hibiscus moscheutos, or Swamp Mallow, gives a great showing of large pink or white flowers. Excellent for planting in damp places or along streams. Very strong roots are offered by us.

These Hardy Phlox are Choice

As a carefully selected assortment of choice plants this list stands unrivalled. There are other varieties, plenty of them, and many are good, but those we offer are the cream of the whole collection.

There is not an undesirable color in our lot. No eye-offending magentas or unpopular purples are disguised by fancy names or evasive descriptions. We list only fourteen, but they are choice, and an assortment, good enough for anyone, can be made from these.

Are the plants strong? Yes, they are big, vigorous, field-grown clumps, and are all that could be desired in regard to size and health. They are not tiny nor are they overgrown, but just right. They will make a splendid show this season.

A fair idea is given of the artistic effect a small sized bed of about 25 plants of Japanese Anemone will create. Notice how the flowers stand out on slender but strong stems, making them valuable for cutting. Queen Char- lotte is the most popular variety of these worthy plants, being of greater beauty in form and color (La France pink) than the single white kind pictured.

Splendid for Outdoor Display * Indoor Ornament (Anemone)

In the fall, when floral display of any kind is rare, the Anemone Queen Charlotte pro- duces flowers of great beauty. It is quite late in the season when these appear. They are larger than a silver dollar, semi-double in form, silky in texture, and of a lovely shade of pink, resembling the tint of the LaFrance Rose.

The blossoms are so pretty and lasting that they are especially adapted for cutting for indoor use. A few loosely arranged in a bowl or vase and used for mantel or table decoration make an effect which will delight anyone who values features of artistic value.

As usual our plants are above the average. About four years ago we found the knack of growing exceptionally fine, healthy ones, and this season our stock looks even better, stronger and more vigorous than ever. The abundance of thrifty foliage would be a surprise to persons accustomed to receiving the ordinary weak stock. Ours may be expected to flower freely. Japan- ese Anemones prefer deep, cool soil, plenty of moisture and some shade from the hot sun. Give them a place they like and your reward will be rich.

These plants are pot-grown. They are well-established and no trouble will be experienced in moving them, in fact they can be set out with excellent results in the summer months as well as in the spring. A great feature is made of our SUMMER PLANTING STOCK, which includes these and other worthy hardy perennials, choice hardy vines, shrubs and evergreens especially prepared for planting during the heated term. Ask for our interesting lists at the end of May, or in June, July or August.

Exquisite Sweet Lavender

Few plants have as much charm, especially to women, as that possessed by the Sweet

Lavender.

This quaint, old-fashioned, though uncommon plant is useful in the linen closet, bureau

or wardrobe for imparting a refined and delicate scent, and at the same time preventing the

ravages of moths. Both the odd flowers and attractive foliage are delightfully fragrant. Grow-

ing plants are adapted to artistic use for making dwarf hedges, beds or borders, and for mixing

in the hardy garden.

The foliage is a bright, silvery-green, which shows to advantage in the summer as well as

winter, being practically evergreen.

Erect stems, thin and wire-like, shoot up in great profusion from every plant, and the

flowers on these are the source of much pleasure. For a number of years the fine, long hedge

fronting the Meehan homestead was an interesting feature of our grounds.

Always plant it in a well drained situation and mulch it for winter protection. North of Philadelphia it is of doubtful hardiness, and therefore we would prefer not to sell it in sections

colder than our own. The cost is so trifling, however, that anyone could inexpensively experi-

ment with it, and the risk would be well worth taking. Much pleasure may be had by growing

it indoors in winter.

Two grades. The older and stronger sell at 25c. per plant; 10 for $2.00; 25 for $3.75.

Smaller size. A Bargain. 10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00; delivered, prepaid, anywhere in the United States, though not less than ro of this grade will be sold.

Even the Dahlia is Outclassed

When the double Helianthus is in flower the sight is one of the most attractive in our nursery. It has a long and unhandy name, which can be abbreviated to Helianthus mult. plenus when ordering.

Bring to the mind’s eye a hedge four hundred feet in length of rich green foliage almost covered by flowers resembling a large, perfectly formed double Dahlia. No wonder that visitors, with grounds already crowded, found a place for a bed or a row after seeing this display of ours.

This plant is something different and far better than the popular Golden Glow. Its flowers are not produced on scrawny stems. They are so useful for cutting that we sold hundreds at excellent prices to the higher class of florists for decorations. Its habit of growth is superior to anything of its class on the market to-day, being compact and shapely, well foliaged, and seldom attaining a greater height than four or five feet.

The leaves are plentiful and pretty. They are not split or divided in any way and there- fore their solid mass of green makes a splendid background for the innumerable flowers, which appear during a long period in the late summer and fall.

In sections north of ours this plant needs some light winter protection, and it is well worth this little trouble.

Strong roots, 25c. each; 10 for $2.00; 25 for $3.75; or take 200 for $20.00, and make a unique, deciduous hedge, placing them a foot apart.

We will also have a good lot of plants to offer in pots in May and June for summer

planting, unless our spring sales are as large as they deserve to be and all the stock is disposed of.

Price List of Fruit Trees and Small Fruits

The varieties are the best, and the plants are very strong and vigorous

We aim to offer fruit trees of a better and stronger grade than usually sold.

Our stock is thrifty, free from disease, and of the highest quality. On every order each tree is personally selected. This extra care takes time and reduces our small profit, but it makes an inducement for the buyer which is found nowhere else. The planter secures a tree which is good in every way ; he is certain to receive one which will always please him.

Only the finest and most satisfactory varieties are grown. Where others list fifty we offer a dozen; but that dozen is made up of the first selection of all the worthy kinds. Give us the opportunity to aid in making selections. We will gladly submit lists of our varieties, and when selections are left to us we will do the best that is possible for the customer.

Compared with some other figures our prices may seem high, but your decision would be reversed if the quality and size and real value of the plants are considered.

Take some of our heavy Peaches for example. Few nurseries would offer them, saying there is no demand; yet we can never grow enough. With close pruning they transplant as readily as the smaller grades, and by their use at least a year’s valuable time is saved.

IRIS.

We do not know of any plants that are more satisfactory If a good selection is made their blooming season will extend from early spring, when the pretty little Iris pumila first greets the eye, after the long winter, until the gor-

| geous Japanese Iris unfold and expose their revelation of color in July.

Our collection is a unique one ; and, judging from the many gratifying letters we have received, the stock we send out is such that gives every satisfaction.

LILIUM.

The lilies are the true aristocrats of the hardy flower gar- den, and are well worth a little extra attention to obtain the best results. The majority are of the easiest culture, and produce splendid effects when planted in clumps along shrubbery bor-

| ders, and in partially shaded places.

Nearly every one is acquainted with the Lilium Harrisii, so

largely forced by the florists for Easter; the variety best

adapted for growing in the open and very similar to it, is Lilium longiflorum. Then there is the handsome Tiger Lily, the gorge-

| ous Gold-Banded Lily of Japan, the Turk’s Cap, Annunciation | and Speciosum Lilies, all of exceptional merit.

Oaks are of Great Value

Years ago we were the first to advocate the planting of Oaks for all Ornamental purposes. ‘““Takes too long for them to grow,’ said the public, but we proved that they advanced as rapidly as could be desired and actually made more headway than many other trees commonly used. It is only a tradition that Oaks are slow, and to see some of them making two to three feet a season is convincing to the contrary.

Our faith in the Oak remains unshaken. To-day it isa leader in sales. It is in general use.

Oaks can be strongly recommended. Our recommendation is not given because we have the trees to sell. We grow them so well, take such good care of them, prune when necessary and transplant frequently, that the quality has never yet failed to sell all those we had to offer. tions can always be made, whether one tree or a thousand be needed ; a department head always personally picks out the stock. Considering the character of the plants the prices are low

Oaks are adapted for street, lawn or avenue, and they are not difficult to transplant. We have a great number of kinds, but mention only a few of the most popular sorts here. By no means overlook the bicolor.

Quercus bicolor, Swamp White Oak, A Massive tree when fully grown.
