ORDER_EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as early as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. We aim to ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of ordering early.

WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season advances, however some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If, however, you give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will use our knowledge and ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.

PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made subject to change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We, however, carry very large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction may always be expected.

will now be carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS” rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rates to all points. where no ‘‘General Specials’? exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials” rate is in force, the companies make a special reduction. Shipments weighing less than 1oo pounds receive the benefit of the rate per 1oo pounds, but the minimum charge is 35 cts. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4 per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing 100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of So cts. on one shipment.

CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price and 250 at 1,000 price; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage and save transportation charges.

CELOSIA, PRIDE OF CASTLE GOULD

2 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City Boddington’s Flower-Seed Novelties

and Specialties

INTRODUCTIONS OF 1910 AND FOR 1911

While every year we look upon the flower-seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less scepticism, we must not overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or perhaps more suspicion than the novelties of today.

There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor to select only those we know some- thing about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The descriptions are those of the introducers. You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions.

The New Ostrich Plume Celosia Pride of Castle Gould

Celosia Pyramidalis Plumosa Hybrida Castle Gould (Pride of Castle Gould)

AWARDS; Large Silver Medal at the National Flower Show, Chicago, Ill., 1908; First Class Certificate, New

York Florists’ Club, 1907; Special Diploma of Merit at the Mineola Fair, 1907, and numerous first premiums

The Ostrich Plume Celosia, *‘The Pride of Castle Gould”’ is an entirely distinct type of the Ce/osia pyramidalis plumosa, and surpasses by far anything thus far placed on the market. This strain has, through constant culture and careful selection and hybridization, proven its superiority to any- thing similar ever offered. The following strong points speak for themselves :

HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal compact growth of from two to three feet, with immense extra-fine feathered heads give the plant a most striking and unique appearance.

The flowers being of such bright and intense color, and the plant of erect growth and‘ beautiful foliage, it creates the greatest admiration, wherever shown, and establishes a demand for itself that every plant lover must appreciate.

COLOR. The plumes are of many beautiful self-shades, including Blood-red, Real Carmine, Golden Yellow, Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark Orange, and Wine-red. When fully developed, the tips of the plumes attain a lovely golden tint, the combination being very attractive and distinctive; however, by variation there will be found many more shades; the self-coloring will be surprising.

DECORATIVE VALUE. As a pot plant, with its quick-growing

Celosia, Pride of Castle Gould habit, we believe there is no finer plant known at the present time, wherefrom

in the course of six months a most excellent stock of saleable plants in every

size can be obtained. As a bedding plant, it cannot be equalled by any other annual for its profusion of flowers and

variety of striking colors, and we consider it the Queen of all Decorative Annuals where the showing of groups is desired,

and when given a sunny exposure it will develop to its highest perfection. We offer seed for the first year raised strictly from pot plants. All packets we send out will contain a mixture of the above colors.

PRICE, PER PACKET, 50 CENTS

Cultural directions by Mr. Harry Turner, the originator of this grand novelty, the head gardener at Castle Gould, the home of Howard Gould, Esq., Port Washington, N. Y.

Sow thinly in pans of prepared soil in May or June and place in a warm house, temperature 60° to 70°, to germinate. Pot up in 2%- inch pots, when 1 to 2 inches high. Transfer to 4-inch pots as soon as ready, making the soil richer each time, then to 6-inch and finally to 8inch pots if very large specimens are required. 6-inch pots are large enough to produce fine plants. Most useful for decorations. Grow warm, shade lightly in the warmest weather, and give plenty of water and feeding during the development of the plant. When the plumes have attained their full size, a cooler temperature will keep them a long season in fine condition. ‘

For bedding, sow first weék in May and plant out of 4-inch pots. The results will charm the most critical admirer of flowers producing a blaze of color till killed by frost. is:

The amateur without glass may have equal success a little later in the season by Sowing very thinly in prepared soil in the open garden when danger from frost is over. Lift with a little earth attached, and plant out in permanent quarters about a foot apart,

Sweet Pea Maud Holmes (Spencer)

American Varieties

(Burpee, 1g10.) Is a true waved variety of the largest and most perfect Spencer

type. There is naturally some variation even in Spencers, and

Ethel Roosevelt claims the most exclusive Spencer perfection. The

ground color is a soft pleasing primrose, or straw color, overlaid with dainty flakes and splashes of blush-crimson. The crimson is not at all pronounced and simply gives some warmth and golden tinting to the yellowish ground work. It bunches splendidly and will easily lead in this type of coloring for a long time. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

Florence Nightingale.

(Burpee, 1sgt0o.) The flowers are truly magnificent and of immense size. The standard is unusually large and bole, pronouncedly waved, yet standing erect and broad, frequently measuring two inches across. The,color is most charmingly soft andiyet rich laven- der, which is enlivened by a very faint sheen of rose-pink. The large, well-spread wings are of the same coloring, frilled and well-waved. It is practically a self color and bunches beautifully. Pkt. 25 cts.,

5 for $1. Rose du Barri, (Burpee, Miipto.) This new grandiflora affords an entirely new shade in Sweet Peas. The name itself suggests the color, which is a lovely com- bination of deep, rich, car- mine-rose and orange. While the flower is not of Spencer form or size, yet it is slightly , waved, and for boutonnieres or table decoration it is \ “really a gem.” Its brilliant ; beauty must appeal to every % lover of esthetic shades. ; Mr. A. Jreland, Marks, Tey, Essex, who had a few [AIB} seeds for advance trial this year, writes: ‘‘It is unique and distinct, a charming flower of deep rose-color, overlaid with a lovely sheen of terra-cotta. Foliage and haulm very dark green. One of the best decorative Peas ever introduced. For artificial light it is unsurpassed. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1. (Burpee, 1910. )

Emily Eckford Spencer. {Hurpss, t910.)

of good form, waved and of the true Spencer type. They are a rosy purple self color at opening, but turn bluish purple as they reach full expansion. It is simi- lar to Tennant Spencer, but without any suggestion of magenta,—what variation there is in the flowers is toward blue. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., oz. $2. Queen Victoria Spencer. (Burpee, 1999.) paler ast Gee edna a 1e flowers are extremely large, of the true waved Spencer type, and havea most pleasing color effect. The background is quite a deep primrose, flushed with rose. The flowers are all of good substance; borne three and four to the stem; there were proportionately more sprays of four flowers than with any other “Spencer” grown by us. The strong dark-green stems carry well the gigantic flowers. Pkt. 15c., 2 for 25c., 0z. 35c., 4lb. $1, Tb. $3. Collection of 1 pkt. each of ihe above 6 varieties for $1; 3 collections or $2.75

Dimorphotheca aurantiaca orancz patsy

(NOVELTY ‘09) HLA.

This is the best annual novelty of 1909, and gave great satisfaction wherever grown. It is very easy of culture and it must be con- sidered an amateur’s favorite. No one with a garden, no matter how small, should be without this lovely, useful, rare and extremely showy annual from Namaqualand, South Africa, which will soon become a great favorite in all countries on account of its easy culture and beau- tifully colored flowers. The plants, of very branchy habit, grow about 12 to 15 inches high and are exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its Marguerite-like blossoms, 2% to 2% inches in diameter, show a unique glossy, rich orange-gold, which brilliant coloring is rendered the more conspicuous by the dark-colored disc surrounded by a black zone. This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or borders; it produces its pretty flowers very early after being planted out in the open ground in sunny situations and will continue to flower during the summer months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight (see illustration). Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts., 1-16 oz. $1.

Aster, Lady Roosevelt. HA. A chrysanthemum-flow-

ered Aster of the Burbank strain. The flowers resemble the incurving chrysanthemum; the color is a gorgeous pink, of marvelous beauty.

Antirrhinum majus grandiflorum album flore

leno. (Double White Snapdragon.) HHP. A new depart- peso ure in the class of tall larye-flowering Snapdragons is offered. Out of the mouth-like aperture in the flowers, between the upper and lower lips, as shown in the illustration, emerge abnormal fantastic petals, which give a double and beard-like aspect to the very large bloom. In sixty to seventy ner cent of the seedlings this phenomenon is more or less in evidence, the remainder producing perfect flowers of extra size, such as are otherwise seen only in the Queen Victoria and other grandiflorum varieties. A striking effect is produced by the long spikes covered with these beautiful white flowers when used for bedding, and they will be of great value as cut-flowers for vases. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

The latter is just as large and as long-spurred as that of the type-form Ccerulea, and is further distinguished by beautiful and characteristic light-green foliage. Being a smaller plant of more graceful habit than the other Coerulea varieties, it presents an un- commonly taking appearance and will assuredly give great pleasure to all lovers of Aquilegias.

The Sowing of Flower Seeds

By W. H. WAITE

The raising of plants from seed is the most natural mode of reproduction; it is from the seed that the most healthy and vigorous plants are produced.

To obtain good results, a certain amount of care in the sowing and treat- ment must be taken; this may be summed up in the following four points.

First.--That the seeds have been perfectly ripened.

Second.—That they have been properly kept till the period of sowing.

Third.—That they be sown at the proper time.

Fourth.—That the sowing be performed in the proper manner.

Many of the flower seeds used in the garden are started in the greenhouse or sunny window during the early spring months.

Seed-pans or shallow flats should be used. These receptacles should have plenty of drainage, consisting of potsherds or any rough open material. The soil should be an even mixture of sand, leaf soil and loam, finely sifted ; before sowing this should be firmly and evenly pressed. If the soil is dry, it should be watered and rendered somewhat moist a few hours before sowing.

The main consideration which will enable any one to determine the depth at which the seeds should be sown must always be this,—that the soil is the medium which, in the first place, is to keep the seeds sufficiently moist for ger- mination; secondly, and only in those cases in which the seedlings will con- tinue their development on the spot where they have germinated, the soil must be looked upon as essential for the fixing of the plant. In practice, where the seedlings are transplanted when very young, the covering of the seeds with soil is not essential if we only keep the seed-pans covered with a piece of glass, or even paper, in order to prevent a too rapid evaporation of the moisture.

In the sowing of very small seeds, e. g., calceolarias, gloxinias, begonias, etc., no covering of soil should be put on the seeds at all. Larger seeds, such as salvia, cyclamen, etc., may be covered with fine soil to a depth of twice the diameter of the seeds. After sowing great care must be taken that the seed- beds should never be allowed to become dry, and very great care must be taken in the watering, especially of the finer seeds.

The best way to moisten the seed-pans containing the fine seeds is by dip- ping the pans in a pail of water, and allow the water to rise naturally.

The three main essentials which all plant life requires, and this relates to seedlings as well as mature plants, are moisture. heat and air.

The seed-beds should ju:t be kept moist—they should never be allowed to become sodden. A safe guide for temperature is that for proper germination the temperature should b2a little higher than the mature plant requires for proper development.

The seeds of most Hardy Perennials may be sown at any time from Janu- ary to October. Early sowing should be made indoors in boxes in the same manner as described above, or they may be sown out-of-doors in spring after the frost kas gone, and transplanted into their flowering position in early autumn or the following spring. There is not room in this short article for the treat- ment of the young seedlings, but as the seedlings appear, more air and light should be gradually given or the seedlings will be weak and drawn.

There are many seeds of flowers which may be sown out in the open ground, such as alyssum, candytuft, calliopsis, nasturtium, sweet peas, etc. These should be sownafter all danger of frost is past, and care should be taken that the soil isin the right condition as to moisture, etc. It is very poor prac- tice to sow when the ground is too wet.

The soil should be finely prepared by forking over and raking the surface evenly. The seeds should be sown in drills, the depth of the drills to be gov- erned by the variety of seed to be sown. It is different in the case of sowing seeds in the open than in sowing under glass, as outside, the dry winds or hot spring weather may easily cause a temporary or fata! stoppage of growth. These evils must be overcome by covering the seeds with sufficient soil to pre- vent their drying out, yet they must not be sownso deep as to cut off the sup- ply of air. A good rule to follow as to the depth that seeds sown outdoors should be, is to cover with a layer equal to four times their diameter. In the case of small seeds, alight shading should be given with branches or cheesecloth.

If sown under glass during February or March they wi commence to bloom in July, and will so continue till frost. The tall or giant varieties are extremely useful for cutting, while the dwarf kinds are exceptionally adapted for borders and edging of beds of annuals or other plants. Also now grown extensively under glass for winter- flowering.

The plants are perfectly hardy, vigorous and stately in growth, producing abundantly during May and June, large and elegantly shaped flowers with long spurs, which, being borne well above the pale glaucous green foliage, have a charming effect, and being so light and elegant are much esteemed for cutting. The seed is American-grown—upon one of the largest estates—and is specially selected and harvested for me with a view of distributing an article of real merit, of these pretty perennials. Seed sown early will flower the first year. Yoz. $1, pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY ASTERS a.

Plants from seed sown in the open ground in May bloom finely in September and October. For July and August flowers sow in March or April in coldframe, spent hotbeds, pots or boxes in the house. If a succession of Asters is desired, Queen of the Markets for early, Victoria, Comets and Truffaut's for intermediate, and the Branching for late, are recommended.

16 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City Choice Asters of Recent Introduction (continues)

The following five beautiful varieties are seedlings of the well- known Daybreak and Purity, and are bound to find favor with all lovers of this beautiful class.

Aster, America (Imp. Pink Daybreak.) 1A. Strong robust grower,

producing flowers of the largest size on very strong, stiff stems. In color it is somewhat darker than Daybreak, quite resembling the shade known as old rose. The flowers are of great substance and very lasting after being cut, more so than most other varieties. A valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being fully two weeks later than Daybreak. Its flowers are in perfection with the late-branch- ing varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.

Aster, Salmon King (Salmon Daybreak. ) Ht Pia riety we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak class. The color is not only novel, but of a very pleasing shade, bright enough to make it always conspicuous, although modest and unassuming in appearance. The habit of growth, form of plant and flower are identical with those of its parent, Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4%0Z. $2.

Aster, Lemon Drop (Yellow Daybreak.) ¥: / var

low Aster at last. It is a decided yellow, and as good a grower as any of the other varieties of the Daybreak class. The flowers are not quite so large as those of Purity, its parent, but are more per- fect and symmetrical in form, in fact the petals are laid so perfectly that the flowers have a wax-like appearance. We consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to introduce a good yellow Aster. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.

Aster, Rosy Morn (Rose Daybreak. ) BA See variety. The flowers are of a handsome shade of rose, large, well formed, double to the center, and produced in the same profusion as the other Asters of this class. We consider it one of the best of the Daybreak type. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4 oz. $2.

Aster, Lavender Daybreak. 4:4. Of the y new As ——_—— sitters introduced of late years,

this is the peer of them all. It may truly be called Perfection. The habit of growth is similar to that of Daybreak, but the flowers are somewhat larger in size, always full to the center and of a most beautiful shade of lavender. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.

Aster, Improved Early Branching Semple. 7 4.. 4

seedling from that grand old variety Semple’s Pink, which on account of its earliness will certainly become equally, and we predict, more popu- lar than its parent. The color is of the same shade of bright pink, and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are identical, being of the same strong, robust growth and branching habit. Its greatest value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days earlier than Semple’s Pink. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.

Boddington’s Matchless Cinerarias

In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistake so often made is that of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sow- ing in May and June, plants large enough for all decorative purposes can be had. In after-trgatment the aim should be to secure as hard a growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are best. CINERARIAS, BODDINGTON’S CACTUS-FLOWERED.

This strikingly beautiful decorative plant at- tains a height of about 4 ft., producing flowers fully 4 in. in diameter, their color being a soft clearsulphur-yellow, with a conspicuous maroon blotch at the base of each petal. They are only ephemeral, but are borne in large numbers and quick succession, and make a splendid display for a long time. In habit the plant resembles the ricinus, with deep green leaves, which render it very ornamental even when not in flower. It is very effective in pots for greenhouse decoration, or makes splendid specimens in beds or borders. Although a perennial, we advise the treatment of a half-hardy annual. Pkt. 50 cts.

Boddington’s Quality Double

Hollyhocks HP. 6 ft.

The Hollyhock is among the most stately of our garden plants. It is impressed on our mem- ory since childhood and revives many pleasant thoughts. The colors vary in every shade, from pure white to the darkest red. Are easily the most attractive feature in the garden. Holly- hocks succeed best in a rich, well-drained soil, and should be lightly protected during the win- ter months with coarse straw or spruce boughs. For distinct effect in large groups they are matchless.

Boddington’s Matchless Giant Primulas PRIMULA SINENSIS

Our Primala Sinensis seed has been specially grown for us by the most celebrated English Primula specialist. The flowers are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the colors, but for the great substance of the petals. Considerable care Is necessary in order to secure the successful germination of the seed of the choice kinds of P. Sinensis. The most suit- able periods for sowing are January to May for autumn, and June to August for spring blooming. Shallow pans, well drained, are the best, the soil consisting of sandy loam and leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve ; the pans when thus pre- pared, should be well watered before the seed is sown. Only a slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be guarded against is drought; the soil should be kept in as equa- ble degree of moisture as possible, never being on the dry side. We attribute more failures to this cause than to any other. Just at the time when the seed commences to germinate the least departure from this is fatal.

Primula pulverulenta. In habit and foliage it resembles P. a Japonica, but differs in having larger and more richly colored flowers, and in having the flower stems and calyces thickly coated with a white farina or meal. From a horticultural standpoint this peculiarity renders the plant remark- ably distinct, and also serves to emphasize the deep.purple-maroon color of the flowers. Pkt. 75 cts.

Primula Veitchii. A fine species introduced from Western SOC hina, where it occurs at elevations of from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, on cliffs and dry banks, approaching the well- known Primula cortusoides in foliage and habit, but a finer and more robust species. The leaves have a dark green, slightly pubes- cent upper surface, the under surface being covered with a dense white tomentum. The flowers produced in an umbel of 10 to 20 blooms, terminating a scape some 12 to 14 inches high, are about an inch in diameter, of deep rose-color with an orange ring surround- ing the yellow mouth of the tube.

SALVIA, continued Patens compacta nana. This variety is a great improve- ment over the well-known Salvia Patens. The very robust- growing plants are extremely free-flowering. If sown early under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of 18 inches, begin to bloom in early July. On account of the very compact and regularly formed plants, it produces an unusual number of flower-stems, on which you will always find from three to five open flowers. The plants are so much more compact and dwart than the type that the flower-stems are considerably longer and freer, surmounting luxuriant dark green foliage.

Schizanthus Grandiflorus Boddingtonii

BODDINGTON'S SELECT HYBRIDS

This strain is superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much larger, better shaped, and the colors show a wide range, including shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and purple, in various markings, and combinations. In habit, the plants are very dwarf and bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. Schizanthus plants

have become indispensable for greenhouse and conservatory decoration, and as a pot-plant for decoration they are unequaled. Pkt. 75 cts., 3 for $2.

W. H. WAITE IN “HORTICULTURE”

The Shizanthus grandifiorus Boddingtonti, when well grown, is one of the most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. Asa con- servatory plant it is unequaled, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest things that can be used. The past season we have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of very easy culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-bound, but should always be kept on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in.

The finest variety that I have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and the introducer, Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.

Dear Sir:

Just a bunch of Dorothy Eck ford, picked ana photographed Sept. 26, 1910.

Thought that perhaps you would be glad to know that the seeds I got from you blossomed well, even after being soaked and almost sprout- ing in the Wellington, Wash., disaster, and can, up-to-date, pick nice long-stemmed Sweet Peas.

Yours very truly,

MRS. C. A. O'HARA (signed) 131 Thirtieth Avenue Seattle, Washington

QUALITY SWEET PEAS

E are headquarters for ail the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a specialty of this grand W annual. Our collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date varieties have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there are nearly six hundred named varieties, you will doubtless miss some old favorite that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety ; we could certainly send a variety equally good. The Spencer or orchid-Aowering types are coming strongly to the fore, but many are not yet thoroughly “‘set.’’ The “Unwin’s”’ are all good, and many grandiflora varieties are still holding their own. If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions. At the exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, held at New York City, July 12 and 13, 1910, we were

again awarded the C. C. MORSE CO.’S SILVER CUP

for the finest exhibit of Sweet Peas. Open fo the trade only.

For the forthcoming 1911 exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America (time and place to be announced later) we take pleasure in offering our

CHALLENGE SILVER CUP. Value $50

FOR A COLLECTION OF SWEET PEAS, 25 VARIETIES, NOT LESS THAN

25 STEMS TO A VASE, TO BE SHOWN WITH SWEET PEA FOLIAGE ONLY

TO BE WON TWICE BY THE SAME EXHIBITOR

We will also award to the winner of this cup (each time won) a cash prize of $25; $15 second prize and $10 third prize

This Cup was won in 1910 by Hugh Birch, gardener to the Hon. Seth Low, Mt. Kisco, N. Y.

Are you a member of the National Sweet Pea Society of America? If not, you should send for an application blank; the annual dues are $2, life membership, $25. By becoming a member you are entitled to the report of the Sweet Pea trials of Cornell Univesity, Ithaca, N. Y., where over 600 varieties were grown during the summer of 1910. These trials, which have been under the supervision of Profs. Craig and Beals, will be published about January 1, 1911, and will be a most comprehensive and exhaustive work, covering experiments with fall and spring sowing, and other valuable tests. For further information, write to the secretary, Harry A. Bunyard, 342 West Fourteenth St., New York City.

52 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City A Few Hints on the Successful Growing of Sweet Peas

BY AN EXPERT

Buy your seeds early and sow early.

Never sow seed of Sweet Peas on the same land in successive years. If your garden is small and you find this necessary, the soil should be removed and filled in afresh following the instructions given below.

The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep and prepared early (preferably in the fall of the year) if this can be done; good slaked lime and wood ashes should be thoroughly dug into the ground.

A good rich turfy loam is the ideal soil for growing Sweet Peas, thoroughly enriched with good rotted =f manure or bone meal, and dug in as deeply as possible. ve :

If your soil is not of the above consistency, dig a trench two feet deep and two feet wide and fill with Ve good rich turfy loam that has been thoroughly mixed with rotted manure or bone meal, in proportion of three- fourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer, according to the condition of the soil. -

Do not sow your Sweet Peas thickly or too thinly (one ounce of Sweet Peas to five feet is a fair f average). If the Peas should grow too thickly, thin out to about two inches apart, but not neces- sarily in a single row, rather alternately, viz. «* .*%-+*»

Seed of the black-seeded varieties can be sown as soon as the frost is out of the ground, provided it is not too wet, the white-seeded varieties should not be sown until the ground is warm and dry.

Before sowing, pulverize your soil in the trench about three inches deep. Sow seeds, in a double row about ten inches apart, about two inches below the surface and tread down firmly.

For training the vines, use either “‘brush’’ (that is branches of birch or other light material) or large mesh wire netting held by posts, the brush or the netting should run about five feet above the ground.

It is as well to stake, brush or erect your wire netting before the seedlings get too tall, better perhaps when seed is sown.

Dry and hot weather affect Sweet Peas very quickly. They should be watered very frequently and thoroughly, and the application of liquid manure given once a week. A good heavy mulch of long straw manure covering the ground around the ‘Sweet Peas should be applied as soon as warm weather sets in. This prevents the ground from drying out and keeps the soil cool.

The flowers should be cut as often as possible and all seed pods removed as soon as they appear. By attending to this properly, it greatly lengthens the life of the vine and the flowering season.

A partial shade during the hottest parts of the day is very essential to secure the best color in the blooms, it also protects the vines from the strong rays of the sun. If possible to protect the lower growth of the Peas, this should be done also.

If Sweet Peas should be at- tacked by the green, black or white fly, they should be thor- oughly sprayed with one of the several Nicoteen preparations that are offered on page 142.

The greatest enemy of young Sweet Peas is the cut-worm, and they are so destructive as to prevent some people from having a good stand of Sweet Peas at any time. They usually take the young shoots as soon as they appear, and while some plants will send out new shoots and grow again after being cut off, most of them are cut too far down and are ruined. A sprinkling of slaked lime over the row or watering with lime water helps to keep out the cut-worms. A handful of grass dipped in a solution of Paris green will sometimes attract the worms, the poison killing them.

FARMOGERM, which we offer among the fertilizers on page 142, is an excellent agent for the successful growing of Sweet Peas, if the instruc- tions for the use of this article are carefully fol lowed.

One of the most necessary things in the culti- vation of Sweet Peas is the proper feeding of the plants, when they are in full growth a change of ‘food”’ is particularly essential. When they start into bloom a good application of Scotch soot, ap- plied in liquid form, improves the color of flower and foliage to a remarkable degree. Aurora Spencer. (For description see page 53)

Gigantic Orchid-Flowering Sweet Peas, Countess Spencer

Hybrids, 1910 and Recent Introductions

The Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas are fast superseding the Grandiflora types of the same variety and color, and are indispensable in a collection whether for exhibition or decorative purposes. The following list is the cream of the beautiful creations of the hybridizer’s art, and can be relied upon to come true to type and description. A few varieties are not yet quite fixed, but in the main, as stated before, dis- appointments and complaints are few. We still catalogue a very fine list of the Grandiflora types which are highly recommended, also the winter-flowering varieties, which, if sown outside, will flower about two weeks earlier than the Spencers or Grandifloras, thus prolonging

the season for show or cutting. you or send a variety equally good, or that has superseded it.

ASTA OHN SPENCER. This variety is lavender, suffused or tinted with mauve, and will undoubtedly take its place as the best lavender in the Spencer selections Large and wavy; large wavy wings also. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1., lb. $3.

APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. This is a reproduction of the long-time popular Apple Blossom Sweet Pea, but of enlarged size and the true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful ; the petals are waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct ser- rations on edges of standard. (See illustration page 58.) Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1., Ib. $3.

AURORA SPENCER. This is an exact counterpart, as to color, of Aurora Sweet Pea, which has been so long considered the best of all the striped and mottled varieties. The ground color of the flower is cream-white, and this is exquisitely flaked and mottled with rich orange-salmon. (See illustration page 52.) Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., 4b. $2.

AMERICA SPENCER. A grand variety like America, but of the Countess Spencer type, and very large flowers, generally four onastem. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4lb. $1, |b. $3.

BLACK KNIGHT SPENCER. Very dark bronze. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.

BLANCHE FERRY SPENCER. Pale rosy standard; white wings. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, 1b. $3.

CAPTAIN OF THE BLUES SPENCER. Standard purple, wings bright blue. A bright, striking variety, and decidedly new in the Spencers. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25c., oz. 35c., 4 lb. $1, Ib. $3.

COUNTESS SPENCER. Bright, clear pink, showing a little deeper at the edge. The form is open and the margins of the petals are wavy. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 4]b. 35 cts., lb. $1.25.

DAINTY SPENCER. Has beautifully formed standard and wings; in a bud state it looks like a pale primrose self, but when opening first appears to be white, but quickly changes to white with a pink edge, more defined at the back, making a most charming contrast and quite a new departure. Generally three but often four flowers on a stem. A great acquisition and should be in all best collections. Avoca was another name suggested for it. This variety does best cut in a bud state and opened in water. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts, oz. 60 cts., Ib. $2.

FLORA NORTON SPENCER. This is a bright blue, with a lit- tle tint of purple, perhaps a little more than the original Flora Norton. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, lb. $3.

FLORENCE MORSE SPENCER. Delicate blush with pink margin. Very large, open, wavy form of the best Countess Spen- cer type, with long stems and four blossoms to the stem. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 4% lb. 4o cts., lb. $1.50.

GAIETY SPENCER. Striped with rosy magneta. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4% lb. $x, lb. $3.

GEORGE STARK (SPENCER). F. F.C.and Silver Medal, 1908, England National Sweet Pea Society’s Trials, Reading; F. F. C., Wolverhampton; F. F. C., Norwich. This variety is the finest scarlet pea yet in commerce. The flower is bold and has extraor- dinary substance. The standard is nicely waved and upright, but owing to the thickness of the petal is not so crinkled as some of the Spencers. Both for exhibition and decorative purposes it is good, also stands the sun perfectly. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, oz. $2.

JUANITA SPENCER. White striped with lavender. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., %lb. $1, lb. $3.

KING EDWARD SPENCER. The nearest approach in color (crimson) to the popular King Edward VII in the waved or Spen- cer type. The standard measures from 1% to 2 inches across by 1% inches deep; the wings are 1% inches wide by 1% inches long. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.

LOVELY SPENCER. Like its predecessor, “‘ Lovely.’ Bright pink at the throat, or rather the base of both standard and wings, and shades to soft blush and almost white at the edges. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4%lb. $1, lb. $3.

If you should miss any old favorite from our list, let us know what it is and we will either procure it for

MRS. WALTER WRIGHT SPENCER. A magnificent rosy mauve. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, Ib. $3.

MRS. ROUTZAHN SPENCER. This variety can be described as Florence Morse Spencer on primrose ground. The blending shades are soft rose and buff and primrose, with a decided rose edge. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.

MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old favorite, Mrs. Sankey, will at once recognize this as a “ Black- Seeded White’’ Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., Wlb. $r, lb. $3.

MARIE CORELLI (SPENCER). The large flowers are brilliant rose-carmine or red, uniformly of true Spencer form. The wings are a pure, rich rose-carmine, while the standard shows a tint of cherry-red. The whole effect is that of a brilliant crimson, clear, distinct and most beautiful. The standard is large, round and wavy; the wings are full and inclined to remain boldly outright instead of drooping. Marie Corelli is a variety that belongs in all first dozen sets, and will become one of the standard shades in Spencers. (See illustration, page 56.) Pkt., 20 seeds, 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. $1.

MIRIAM BEAVER (SPENCER). In shape, size, graceful ar- rangement on the stems, free blooming and seedless nature, it is in all respects the same as Countess Spencer. Its novelty is its color— a glowing but soft apricot, tinted, shaded and suffused with lemon. A little variation, perhaps, with a tint of salmon, deeper by a trifle on the back of the standard, but practically a self color. The color might be said to approach a terra-cotta tint, especially so as it har- monizes so beautifully with golden brown. Owing to this variety not coming true, it has been withdrawn this year,

OTHELLO SPENCER. This beautiful new Sweet Pea of the true Spencer type will appeal to those having a preference for the darker colors. A rich, deep maroon. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 40 cts., \4lb. $1.25, lb. $4.

PRINCESS BEATRICE SPENCER. The ground is white, tinted with soft pink and buff on the standard, while each wing has a blotch of brighter pink near the base. One of the most delicate and dainty varieties. Pkt. 15c.,2 pkts. 25c., oz. 35c., % |b. $1, lb. $3.

PRINCE EDWARD OF YORK SPENCER. Bold rosy sal- mon, some say salmon-carmine standard, with rosy wings, a charming combination of color; usually three, sometimes four, flowers on a stem. Some growers say it loses color when cut, but this is obviated by adding a little sulphur of iron to the water. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., YW Ib. $2.

PRIMROSE SPENCER. The color is a pronounced primrose or creamy yellow throughout both standard and wings. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., oz. 35 cts , Ylb. $1, lb. $3.

PICOTEE (SPENCER). A lovely new and distinct variety, Spen- cer form. Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and well waved. In most cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well placed and of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing often seen in certain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower and should be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as an exhibition or garden variety. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. $1.

QUEEN ALEXANDRA SPENCER. This is the Spencer type of this admirable variety and one of the best of the self-colored crimson-scarlets, beautifully curved and fluted. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., 4 1b. $2.

RAMONA SPENCER. Like the well-known Ramona, this va- riety is clear white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush- pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Both stan- dard and wings are wavy, fluffy, and it is very seldom one finds a stem with less than four blossoms; delicate and beautiful. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4lb. $1, lb. $3.

RUBY SPENCER. This may be best described as an improved Saint George, or more of a self, the wings being almost the same color as the standard; will be the best of this class. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.

a 54 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City

GIGANTIC ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS, continued

SENATOR SPENCER. The color is of a varying combination of deep claret and chocolate, striped and flaked on a ground of light heliotrope. Senator Spencer is of the true Spencer form, wavy edges on both standard and wings; long, drooping wings. Both standard and wings are marked with the same colors and in the same way, with a trifle more of the wine shading inwings There are usually four good, large, finely formed flowers on each stem. (Sve illustration, page 56.) Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., 4 lb. $2.

SNOWFLAKE (SPENCER). A grand white variety of the Spen- cer type, described to us by the originators as an improved white Spencer. Immensely floriferous, stu:dy and strong grower, with an average of four flowers to the stem. (See illustration, page 51.) Pkt. 15 cts, 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts, 4b. $1, lb. $3.

TENNANT SPENCER. This variety is much finer and larger than ** The Marquis,’’ a similar variety introduced in England last season. cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz 35 cts., 4% lb. $1, lb. $3.

large, round, fluffy standard, |

Like its predecessor, the color is purplish mauve. Pkt. 15 |

WHITE SPENCER. Produces in the greatest profusion flowers of enormous size that are absolutely pure white. Three and four to the stem and are uniformly well placed. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 ets ¥ lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. :

W. T. HUTCHINS (SPENCER). W.T. Hutchins is.a fine, bold, true Spencer of most perfect form and coloring. The buds show a decided buff color. The fully expanded color has the appearance of light apricot (distinctly lemon at the throat), overlaid with a beautiful blush-pink. As the season adyances, the blush-pink shading becomes rather more pronounced. The vigorous vines flower most freely; the stems are long and carry well three or four fine flowers. Both standard and wings are wavy, ruffled and crinkled of the most advanced Spencer type. The flowers are of the largest size, the standard measures 2 inches across by 154 inches deep. (See illustration, page 56.) Pkt. 20 seeds, 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, oz. $2.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY SWEET PEAS

ARRANCED TO COLOR WITH ECKFORD’S CLASSIFICATION

Sweet Peas have been termed the poor man’s orchid. But no garden is too lowly or too large to contain some of this delightful an- nual. Easy of culture, well repaying any slight trouble and attention attending their growing. Our list contains the cream of the American and English varieties, selected by us with great care and with the assistance of the largest Sweet Pea growers and specialists of the world. Our alphabetical list contains all the varieties catalogued by us, including the best novelties for 1909 and of 1910, selected with regard to

their ‘‘ fixity’? and their superiority over existing varieties.

Following are the varieties contained in our alphabetical list arranged under

their color heads with descriptions and price. Our advice is to order early and sow early for best results. The best time as soon as the frost

is out of the ground—and it is not too wet.

THE CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS.

By the Rev. McGee Pratt, the well-known authority on Sweet Peas. Dig a trench 1 foot deep and 1 foot wide; at bottom tramp down 3 inches manure, then place 4 inches good

soil, also firmed down well. Sow Peas in double row, not too thick, and cover with earth to top of trench. If firmed toa inch below the sur-

face, it does best in a dry season.

Never draw soil on top of the growing vines; it settles in the crown formed just above the ground, holds

water and rots the plant, and the dead vine is then believed to suffer from the blight. All Peas should be well firmed in well-pulverized soil. The greatest enemy to young Sweet Peas is the cutworm, and they are so destructive as to prevent some people from ever haying a good stand of Sweet Peas. They usually take the young shoots just as they come up, and while some plants will send out new shoots and grow again after being cut off, most of them are cut too far down and are ruined. A sprinkling of lime over the row sometimes helps to keep out the cutworms. A handful of grass, dipped in a solution of Paris green, will sometimes attract the worms and the poison kills them.

Viola (Scotch, or Tufted Pansies)

The Scotch Violas, or Tufted Pansies, have of late years been greatly appreciated. There are a great number of varieties, varying in color from pale lavender to deep rich purple, with many charming intermediate shades. They are very free-flowering, and cannot be surpassed for bedding purposes; in light, rich soil and a moist situa- tion they will continue to bloom from spring till late in the autumn. They are also useful for ribbon borders, where they make a fine dis- play. We have been repeatedly asked for seed of these most beauti- ful Violas, so offer the following, which we consider the finest for all purposes.

A FEW POINTERS ON THE GROWING OF ANNUAL ASTERS

It is best to never plant in the same location the second season. Give plenty of room, rows 2% or 3 feet apart, and from 12 to 15 inches apart in the rows; the distance to be regulated by the growth of the variety planted.

Pulverized sheep manure, wood-ashes and phosphate are the best fertilizers. If stable manure is used, let it be well decomposed.

In order to secure plants of good size for April and May, the seed should be sown in early March. For the grower’s own use as a cut- flower, the seed may be sown from the first week in March until the end of April, beginning with the Early Queen of the Market, following with the mid-season varieties and ending with the late branching varieties. There is nothing to be gained by sowing aster seed too early, as seed sown in January will not bloom a day earlier than seed sown in March or April, nor will the plants be as tall, healthy or flori- ferous. Early sowings of seed are best made in flats in the greenhouse; later sowings may be made in hotbeds or coldframes or sunny win- dows. Do not cover the seed too deep. Seed may be sown broadcast or in drills, and covered with a little less than % of an inch of soil.

Root-lice or root-aphis, cutworms, the aster bug or fly and rust or yellows are the worst pests and disease that we have to contend with in growing asters.

For the root-lice and cutworm, kerosene emulsion, tobacco water, wood-ashes mixed with water, are all good and effective if applied around the roots.

For the aster bug or fly, sprinkle the plants with air-slaked lime and Paris green, which holds them in check. The proportion should be 1 pound of Paris green to 100 pounds of air-slaked lime.

The yellows or rust is a fungus which appears on the under side of the leaf, and is one of the worst diseases that the grower of asters has to contend with. But this fungus can easily be held in check by spraying the under side of the plants with a solution composed of carbonate of copper, ammonia and water in the proportion of one pound of carbonate of copper, one pint of ammonia and one barrel of water. Use this preparation at once, if the fungus appear, and use every alternate day until the plants have had several applications; this will kill the fungus.

The aster blight is generally caused by the work of some of the above insects, and if at any time the plants get too badly diseased, the best thing to do is to pull them up and burn them.

The Hollyhock Disease

For the past years the Hollyhock has been the victim of a virulent form of disease (Puccinea malvacearum) which has wrought great havoc amongst them by destroying all their foliage and rendering them very unsightly just when coming into flower; this has baffled many in their attempts to grow them. Jn order to check the spread of this fungus we recommend the following remedy, which is being used with satisfactory results:

To 1 Ib. of tobacco powder add % oz. of finely powdered sulphate of copper, well mixed; dust the under surface of the foliage (or wher- ever attacked) with the powder every two or three weeks during the growing season, choosing a dull, still day for the operation; this will be found effectual.

Should there be any difficulty in procuring the mixture, we can supply it direct in 1 lb. packets at 25 cts. per Ib., 10 Ibs. for $2.

We are agents for Sutton & Sons, “The King’s Seedsmen,”’ England, and are much indebted to them for many illustrations appearing in this Garden Guide. .We will send their catalogue and

amateur guide free to customers purchasing to amount of $5, or more, on request, or will send same to inquirers for 50 cents, postpaid.

a x ALKEKENGI (Physalis edulis)

This is the well-known Cape Gooseberry, and should be grown a great deal more than it has been in the United States. It is an excellent variety for preserving, and, in fact, is areal Wonder Berry. This variety should not be confounded with Physalis pubescens, known as Husk Tomato. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts., %0z. 30 cts., 0z. 50 cts.

CABBAGE

BODDINGTON’S EARLIEST DWARF BLOOD RED. Quite a distinct dwarf, compact, pickling Cabbage of tender-quality, deep blood-red in color. When sown in the spring, it comes in with the early autumn cabbages. Differs entirely from the ordinary Blood Red. Pkt. 25 cts.

SWEET CORN

LIVINGSTON’S EARLY SUGAR. For productiveness and uniformity of product, Livingston’s Early Sugar is hard to beat. Where two stalks stood to a hill, sixty per cent of the stalks produced two handsome, large ears. On hills with three or more plants, we counted from five to seven ears of faultless shape, well- . , filled to tip. Ears are set well up the stalk, from 20 to 30 inches above base of plant.

cropping properties, its healthy constitution (no trace of disease), its solid but delicate flesh (contains few seeds), its evenness in size as a

dessert fruit, its bright scarlet color and rich acid flavor, its equal value for indoor or outdoor cultivation. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., %4oz.

Owing to the exceedingly short crop of garden Peas (in many cases a total failure), prices are much higher than

last year. We have secured, however, some fine English stocks, and our customers can rely as usual on the high quality of the seed and the results, which are most important, and that ‘‘ quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”

BODDINGTON’S SEEDS 71

Boddington’s English-Grown Peas

One quart will plant about 25 feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; and continue, for a suc- cession, every two weeks until June. Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown thicker than the round Peas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot.

For the past years we have handled, almost exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season have been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Pezs can always be relied upon as absolutely true, free from “‘rogues,’’ hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater strength and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop.

The following are the best Peas for all Purposes A concensus of opinion obtained from the leading private gardeners of the United States by personal letters and conversation WE SUPPLY PACKETS OF PEAS AT 16 CENTS EACH, POSTPAID

Taller Varieties, 2's to 4 feet

Boddington’s Farly Bird (Novelty 1908). A round-seeded Pea of the Gradus type, embodying the hardiness of a

round variety, with the flavor and size of pod of Gradus. A grand Pea, the greatest ad- vance in round varieties since the advent of Telegraph. Growers cannot fail to quickly see the advantages of this Pea for their early work. This variety is a first-early cropper, producing deep green pods of the well-known Gradus type, but, on account of its hardy constitution, may be sown early to great advantage in order to obtain very early results in the spring. It is a vigorous, branching plant, growing 3 feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a large proportion of pods in pairs, which contain fine, deep green peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes: ‘‘I want to say a word in favor of your Early Bird. | saw it at a neighbor’s and it isa grand, early pea.’ Pt. go cts., qt. 75 cts., pk. $2.75, pk. $5.25, bus. $20.

The merits of this Pea over the existing va- riety are its extreme earliness, produc- tiveness and continued bearing. Height about 3 feet, and of robust growth. Pods are large and well filled, containing at times as high as ten peas, which are sweet and tender, and remain so for several days after being gathered.

This grand introduction maintains its position as one of the best early Marrow- fat Peas eyer raised. Although so early, the seed should not be sown until the soil is in a fit state to receive it early in April, as it'is a rapid grower.

The Garden Pea W onder

‘Boddington’s Mammoth Marrowfat

This undoubtedly is the largest Pea in cultivation, with larger pods than any Pea heretofore intro- duced—pods running from 6 to 7 inches in length—filled with peas not unduly large, of the true mar-

rowfat flavor.

BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH MARROWFAT may be considered a second-early or main-crop Pea;

the height is from 5 to 6 feet.

BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH MARROWFAT is a heavy cropper and exceedingly prolific, the pods hanging mostly in pairs; the con- stitution is wonderfully vigorous and hardy, far excelling, in this respect, many of the marrow va- rieties ; the color of both pods and haulm is a rich, velvety green,— to be exact, one might call it a Mammoth Alderman.

“T sent a sample of Boddington’s Mammoth Marrowfat Peas to the Alaska- Yukon Exposition last fall, and received a diploma and a bronze medal for them. The peas were grown in my garden here. They grew to an enormous size.”’

Yours truly, Mrs. F. Dorer, : ; Boddington’s Mammoth Marrowfat Pea Skagway, Alaska. (Natural size)

The varieties of this class are tender, and wili not bear much cold. Plant about the middle of April, if the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finish- ing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry; working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.

BUSH LIMA BEANS The “ Burpee-Improved” Bush Lima

is an entirely ‘‘New Creation.’? The pods are truly enormous in size, borne in great abundance upon bushes 2! feet high by 2 feet across. The Beans are both larger and thicker than those of the popular Burpee’s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole Lima. An expert’s opinion. ‘' This is the finest Bush Lima that has ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and 20 to 24 inches high with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very pro- lific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod con- tains three, four or five beans, and there are more pods containing five than there are containing three beans; so that there is an im- provement of from one to two beans in each pod, and this, taken with the great number of pods borne, makes the yield enormous. In quality this Bean ranks with the very best and the beans are of large size. In earliness it comes before Henderson’s and Burpee’s Bush, and is about a week earlier than the latter. This Bean is bound to be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima—a continuous bearer.” Pkt. 15 cts., %pt. 25 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 60 cts., 2 qts. $1.10, Yepk. $2, pk. $3.50.

The flavor is most delicious, captivating the most criti- cal, while the delicate green color of the pods is retained after cooking, adding to its attraction when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in bearing quali- ties, maturing the crop very regu- larly. It is extra early, the pods being fit to pick fourdays in advance of any other variety of approximate size and merit. This variety is also excellent for forcing or early work inframes.

These Beans are the product of

two vines which appeared as

sports in a crop of Burpee’s Im-

proved Bush Lima. Their supe-

riority attracted attention and they were saved for stock seed. The vine is very strong, of vigorous growth; is a broad-seeded Bean and much thicker than the ordi- nary pole lima. The green tint is a distinctive feature of this Bean, for it retains this tint in the dry state to a greater extent than usual, which indicates the fine qualities which it possesses, being finely flavored and more tender when it is cooked than white-seeded

Beans; thereby making it more

pleasing to gardeners and house-

keepers. It is the most perfect

A good, rich soil is essential for the successful cultivation of this delicious vegetable; our most experienced cultivators, however, acknowledge the advantage of a cool, moist season.

The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the row and 2% feet between the rows.

Cole’s Early Ripens delicious Melons in northern states,

= where Melons never matured before. Just as val- uable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks before any other. This is the finest Watermelon for the family garden. People, particularly in our northern states, can now enjoy, from the beginning to the close of the season, most delicious Watermelons, for Cole’s Early is not only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it continues to bear throughout the season. The beautiful bright red flesh is crisp and of delicate texture—granulated, cool and spark- ling. In flavor it is lusciously sweet and refreshing. The Melons are not large, seldom over 12 inches in length by 9 inches in diameter, but what they lack in size is more than made up in number and solidity. The heart is iarge, there is little or no cavity, and very few seeds—all solid flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to the rind. It can be grown successfully over a larger latitude than any other Watermelon, and it will mature large crops in northern states when the season is as long as that of New York.

Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for this purpose and pick- ling. The mild, sweet varieties, like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are used for mangoes, while the small-fruited sorts are the best for sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March or April, or in a warm, sheltered border in May, and, when season is favorable, trans- plant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row, in good, rich ground.

Pepper fruits. Produces the biggest fruits of all mild, edible kinds hitherto known. The fruit has solid flesh of good flavor and of a magnifi- cent golden yellow color. There are often at the same time a dozen well-shaped fruits on one plant. Its value is still increased by the upright growing of the fruits. They are consequently more exposed to the sun, maturing earlier; and even during wet weather they cannot become so easily rotted as the kinds with hanging fruits, which come too easily in contact with the soil.

“Quality is Remembered Long After Price 1s Forgotten”

WHAT QUALITY MEANS

Quality means the best and finest types procurable in their respective classes. We go to specialists for our vegetable seeds. Our customers, the grower, the private gardener, demand the highest grade. We have no cheap catalogue trade. ‘* Quality ’’ may mean a little higher price. ‘* Quality,’’ in fact, means ‘* quality,’’ and we know that when you buy from us you get it,—and our customers know it too.

Solanum Commersoni Violet

THE BLUE POTATO OF URUGUAY FOR WET SOIL

Obtained by Mr. Labergerie in 1go01, by special selection, from the wild Solanum Commersoni, growing on the shores of the Mercedes river, near Monte- video, and introduced in France, the first time in 1767, by the French botanist, Mr. Com- merson.

The advantages of this new Potato are as follows. First: It is more productive than any other Potato. Second: It is an excellent table variety, a sure and heavy cropper, of good flavor when cooked, baked or boiled. Third: It is especially adaptable to wet, very wet and even to marshy, boggy soil; the wetter the soil the greater the yield. Fourth: It resists all diseases, even cannot be at- tacked by the phytoph- tora.

Its yield has been de- clared, by trials made by the Academie des Scien- ces, to be 36 tons, or 720 cwt. per acre. Certain plants have produced more than 12 pounds of Potatoes per square foot. pk. $1, pk. $1.75, bus. / $5. Price for large quan- tities on application.

The leading prizes for collections of vegetables, given at the Summer and Fall Exhibitions of the Gardeners’ Socie- ties,including Lenox, Lake Forest, Lake Geneva, Morris- town, Madison, N.J., etc., were won by the produce of Bod- dington’s Quality Vegetable Seeds.

A further improvement gained by careful selection consists in its be- ing very short-leaved and of a vivid scarlet coloration. The tastefulness of its tender and crisp flesh is un- rivaled and will be acknowledged by every one who has compared this, my introduction, with other varieties. ‘‘Giant Butter’’ does not, in spite of its uncommon size, be- come hollow and pithy, but keeps crisp and juicy for weeks, even longer than any other kind. Owing to its short leaves it may now be successfully used for forcing. Its size, of course, demands a broader as well as a deeper sowing which will but recompense by a good

For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring. Turnips are generally sown broadcast, but much larger crops are ob- tained (particularly of the Rutabagas) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches in the drill. Sow in drills, one pound

to the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.

Boddington’s Model Snowball Turnip. The earliest

and most per- fectly formed round white Turnip for garden use. Our stock has been continuously selected for many years, resulting in a beautiful shape, with short top and a single tap-root.

Helianti The wonderful new winter vegetable. The greatest addition to the vegetable - kingdom for many years. A complete substitution in taste for fresh asparagus. Yields half as much again as the potato.

DESCRIPTION.—Helianti is a hybrid of the sunflower family. It attains a height of ro feet or more, is very ornamental with its deep green foliage and produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers. Its important economic use, however, is the edible root tubers. It has been found absolutely unaffected by extreme heat and by severest cold, and it, therefore, can be grown in any part of this continent. It will thrive in any kind of soil—from the wet- test to the driest—but it responds quickly to generous treatment and it should be grown in good soil for best results.

THE CULTURE.—It is very easy; plant the tubers in the spring in rows about 3 feet apart each way, and hill the plants up once before laying them by.

THE HARVEST AND STORAGE are just as simple. After the stems have become dry in late fall, plow the tubers up just like potatoes and store them in a pit like sweet potatoes, or in a cellar or barn, covering them with a layer of moist sand. Where winters are not so severe, the tubers may be even left in the field and dug when needed. In that case a light mulching is advisable. If any tubers should dry out in storage, the soaking in water for a few hours will soon restore their fresh appearance and taste.

THE TASTE OF HELIANTI is rather difficult to define. It has been pretty well described as resembling somewhat that of French artichokes and then again of asparagus, with a dis- tict flavor of mushrooms. There is not the least doubt that Helianti will soon be one of the most popular vegetables in this country, as it has already made its place in many countries of Europe, because it combines easy digestibility with good flavor and productiveness, permitting of a reasonable market price.

THE PREPARATION OF HELIANTI FOR THE TABLE is simple in its rudiments. There are, of course, hundreds of ways open to the ingenious housewife, but we will mention here a few of the very simplest only. Scrape the tuber, soak in cold water (this is important as it retains the whiteness of the meat) and cook quickly after adding the usual condiments. Or, boil soft in salted water and serve with butter and freshly chopped parsley. Or, cut up and fry the tubers, when ,they excel French-fried potatoes in taste. Tubers, 25 cts. each,

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS. (Crambe Maritima)

Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in Europe. It isone of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be forced like rhubarb, or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will bleach. In form and flavor it is not unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but boiled and served with drawn butter. We are importing some especially fine stock this winter.

Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crown. $2 per doz., $15 per 100.

ASPARAGUS ( Asparagus officinalis )

Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow, going twice in a row, getting row as deepas possible without getting in the yellow ‘soil, spread in row good well-rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about ten inches apart (eye up) good two year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate; work same as other field crops, gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one-horse plow very shallow, so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as the previous season ; the next season, your bed will be ready for cutting for market, simply plow off same as season before, then turn in large double with a two-horse plowand rake off the top and your bed is completed, and you can cut every day until July 4—a bed made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow the same plan; but as the gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work iby hand, instead of with horse and plow.

LILIES

Do not plant Lilies in the open; a partial shade is essential for succesful cultibation in the hot climate of America

By ARTHUR HERRINGTON

Author of “The Chrysanthemum,” and a practical writer on Horticultural Subjects

a )

The white Lily has ever been esteemed as ‘‘Flora’s’ purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly deserves.

“Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’— American, European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern Hemisphere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast conti- nent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and the Philippines. Their geographical distribution is peculiar in that they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance still is the fact that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be be- cause certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses in great quantities every year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the true possibilities of the family as a whole as garden flowers.

A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the abundance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming from June until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in gorgeous beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding years. The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best garden Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their per- manent character and their subsequent increase in numbers. With a few exceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average depth and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all, only to be once planted and left alone for a number of years, when they may have increased to such an extent as to need lifting and re- planting in reduced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum of the swamps, and Canadense of the fertile meadows; ‘“‘they toil not, neither do they spin,’’ but in their season they are pictures of

f emblem of

great beauty. These, although natives, are worthy of garden cult- vation, and the response to garden culture is seen in greater stature and more abundant blooming.

The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. bulbiferum, L. croceum, L. umbellatum, and their allies, in many shades from yel- low to dark crimson. As summer advances, new kinds vary the garden scene; of special prominence being the old white ZL. can- didum, L. longiflorum, L. Japonicum Brownii (in its several varie- ties), L. Chalcedonicum, L. tenuifoliumand L. superbum excelsum (festaceum). In August, we have ZL. Henry, with its great-branched beds of orange-yellow flowers, borne aloft from 6 to 1o feet high, a noble Lily, that will grow anywhere and increase fast. With the Tiger Lily, and varied forms of L. sfectosum to carry on the flower- ing till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we may have five months of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all easily grown kinds. These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the culture of some that demand extra care or special treatment, like the pretty pink Krameri, the golden Auratum, or the giant LZ. giganteum.

Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by planting in special associations; for example, among rhododendrons or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved, enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too make an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming, and both mutually helpful to each other. Make a great bed or bor- der by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with Lilies and peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into a floral feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.

Lilium Philippensis, the Philippine Lily

Lilium Philippensis

THE PHILIPPINE LILY

This beautiful Lily from the Philippine Islands is quite hardy and is one of the most beautiful of all the Lilies. The color is chaste white; trumpet long (see illustration); agreeable fragrance and lasts 10 to 12 days.

The Merits of the Philippine Lily

It thrives under glass and in the garden. It forces in 100 days from time of potting to bloom. Can be repeatedly forced with increasing vitality.

Two crops of flowers in a year from the same bulb may be obtained.

Bulbs planted in the open ground the first of May will bloom the last of July; the same bulb dug the last of September rested until December and potted up, will bloom in March

Every bulb sure to bloom. Can be grown in the winter under ordinary house care.

HARDY JAPANESE LILIES

For Outdoor Planting, or Growing in Pots for Summer Flowering

Nearly all the Lilies which are cultivated in pots for conservatory and greenhouse decoration are also well adapted for growing in the open ground, and in suitable soil they make an imposing display. The following varieties are generally recognized as border flowers, and with good reason, for the most inclement winter does not injure them. If left undisturbed, they present an increased number of flowers for several seasons. All the varieties of Lilies on this page do grandly in pots for conservatory decoration in the summer months. For cultivation of Lilies outdoors, see page 105 spring Catalogue.

Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies

Culture of Various Garden Lilies.

A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies.

A stubborn clay may be improved for them by

deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat, or rotted turf, or indeed

in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter.

They should be planted deep for their size, never less than

6 inches. When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally

manured before replanting.

RETARDED LILY and OTHER BULBS FROM COLD STORAGE

We have been uniformly successful in the placing of Choice Lilies in cold storage, and, by special care and inspection during the time they were being retarded and, by reinspection before shipment, the bulbs sent out by me have been solid and in as good condition as

when they originally arrived.

The forcing of cold-storage Lilies is not an experiment any more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the practicability of this method of producing Lilies out of season. The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keep the bulbs, when first potted, in a cool place or cellar, so as to produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light.

Lilium speciosum so treated will flower from four to six months from time of potting up. The later the season the quicker they come

into bloom,

As these Lilies are most useful during the early winter months, and for Christmas flowering, we suggest August and July delivery as

the best time for making shipments for Speciosums.

Tuberous-Rooted Begonias

The Rev. McGee Pratt, the well-known specialist and authority on sweet peas, and an enthusiastic amateur, suggests the fol- lowing simple cultural di- rections for the amateur who does not have green- house facilities.

To Start Bulbs of Gloxinia and Tuber- ous Begonias

Place in a shallow box some sphagnum moss, about 2 inches deep. On this put your bulbs, then cover with more moss, un- til boy is full. Keep moss dams not wet, at about 7o degrees. In a short time both roots and stems will sprout. Then care- fully plant in pots in rich, well-sifted light soil. Do not over-water at any time.

Duke Zepplin and

Lafayette These two double hybrid Tuberous-rooted Begonias are both of unusual merit, and in

color, when grown either as pot- plants or planted in partially shaded positions, are an intense scarlet, rivaling the Salvia splen- dens, and flowering continually the whole summer. Both varie- ties are of the dwarf habit, reach- ing a height of only about 10 to 12 inches; very sturdy. They are continuous bloomers, send- ing up their numerous spikes of flowers well above the foliage from June till late fall, when frost overtakes them.

CALADIUMS “vanities”?

This plant, inthe past few years, has been very much in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and have such a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as beautiful. Among ornamental foliage plants there are none more beautiful in design or gorgeous in coloring than the Fancy-leaved Caladiums. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, embracing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep green and intense crim- son. As pot-plants they form specimens of great beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants, lending striking effect to any collection of foliage plants. They are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations.

Fancy-leaved Caladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees Fahr., and a moist atmosphere. The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty of sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass, and shaded only during very bright sunshine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not sink below 60 degrees Fahr.

We offer an English and Brazilian collection of 25 each, new and very rare fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest transparent-leaved kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country and were selected from over 100 varieties.

BODDINGTON'’S

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY DAHLIAS

The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. The very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of form, continuous flowering qualities and general excellence.

Nore.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good if not better results.

The Grand Decorative Dahlia JACK ROSE

This unique variety was raised by Mr. Peacock, the dahlia hybridizer and ex- pert. It is rightly named Jack Rose, as the color is identical—a beautiful dark crimson—with the bloom of a rose; the flowers are not large, but borne in great profusion upon stiff, erect stems. Blooms brought to our office, after being carried around for three days, were exhibited at the Morris County Gardeners’ and Florists’ Society’s Chrysanthemum Exhibition, and awarded a certificate of merit, thus displaying its great keeping qualities as a cut-flower. See illustration. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.

DECORATIVE DAHLIAS

Six Grand Giant Dahlias

The six sorts here offered are, without exception, the largest and most perfect double-flowering Dahlias now grown, flowers of all of them attaining a size of be- tween 6 and g inches across under ordinary cultivation.

= To our knowledge the largest Decorative Dahlia ever offered. It Fireburst. is a seedling of Le Colosse; has broader and longer petals, is more flatly built, but a far more intense scarlet, slightly shaded orange, and pro- duces specimens which measure 8 inches and over. Flowers are borne apart from foliage; agreat value. Height, 3% feet; plant spreading 3 feet. $1 each, $10 per doz. 7 Its name suggests the size; truly gigantic and massive in form. Gigantea. The individual petals are short and it requires many to form such a monstrous flower. Color a soft sulphur-yellow; distinct and attractive. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. The color is a delicate shade of soft pink; flowers are Mrs. Roosevelt. perfectly double and very large, measuring 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Strong roots, 35 cts. each. $3.50 per doz. A splendid decorative variety for cutting ; color Mme. Van den Dael. soft rose with deeper markings, shading to creamy white in the center. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

Souv. de Gustave Doazon. The most sensational Dahlia of the sea-

ee SOUL ancdecorative vatlety, of mammoth proportions, which under ordinary cultivation will produce flowers 6 inches across, and can be grown to measure full 9 inches. It is of free growth, remarkably pro- fuse-flowering and pure scarlet in color. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.

W W The popularity which this novelty has acquired in this bs : Rawson. short time speaks in itself for the superior features of

this flower. This variety is a veritable king among Dahlias. The massive, perfect but graceful flowers, which often measure 7 inches in diameter, are borne on stiff, erect stems 15 inches and longer. The petals toward the center are quilled similar to Grand Duke Alexis; toward the outer part they are more open and flat. The ea

entire flower is absolutely perfect in outline and formation. The color is pure white, overlaid with amethyst-blue ; this wonderful combina- tion gives it the appearance of a delicate lavender. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Collection of one each of the above 7 varieties, including the Jack Rose, for $3

Standard Decorative Dahlias

Auguste Nonin. Clear scarlet, a large and superb flower borne abundantly, always above the foliage. Flowers are always perfect. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Beauty of Kent. Well named, beautiful in form, color and appearance. Deep crimson-red, with distinct pure white tips; most effective and at once catches the eye; free-blooming and fairly large. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

Catherine Duer. The Dahlia of Newport. For effect in artificial light after being cut, there is hardly another variety which has more brilliancy; a giant flower borne on erect stems, with its deep, rich, glowing red, is most effective. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.

Camellia. A dwarf, bushy plant, attaining a height of 2% feet with small, but prolific foliage and myriads of small-sized perfect flowers of a coppery orange. The shape of the flower is just like a camellia and lasts well when cut. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Clifford W. Bruton. A grand free-flowering yellow. each, $1.50 per doz.

Delice. The finest pink Decorative Dahlia; color a soft, delicate pink, known in French as “‘chamois-rose.”’ The flowers are carried

15 cts.

Firefly. A most striking variety on account of its color—fiery orange-scarlet, with distinct white tips. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Flora. One of the most refined white flowers. The pure glisten- ing white is not disturbed by the least suggestion of green ; the flow- ers are always perfect on extremely long, erect stems, and literally cover the 5-foot plant over its entire surface. 25c. ea., $2.50 per doz.

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. One of the most valuable Dahlias we have. It is particularly valuable for several reasons. It grows about 30 inches high and does not require support of any kind. The immense, perfect pure white flowers are borne in great profusion on most erect, stout stems, fully 18 inches long, all above foliage. No matter how much you cut, it is hard to find the plant without flowers. For landscape work or general garden use this variety is especially valuable. Planted into the shrub border or even into lawns by them- selves, they succeed splendidly and make an effect which cannot be duplicated with any other flower. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

Our grower sends us a fine field report upon these bulbs— stating the colors are exquisite, from purest white, all colors of red and crimson, rose and pink striped and variegated.

The bulbs will be sent out in mixture, no two varieties exactly alike—this will save confusion in endless names.

Amaryllis may be grown in a sunny window or greenhouse, by following the cultural directions given below. See illustration.

In order to obtain finespecimens of Amaryllis the followimg method should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs they should be placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm—under the benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs be- fore the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little wa- ter, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom'heat, increase the supply of water as the plants progress.

LYCORIS squamigera, or Amaryllis Halli (The Magic

Lily of Japan). A perfectly hardy Amaryllis producing beautiful pink flowers. Produces in early spring attractive green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and disappears, and any one not familiar with its habits would think the bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower-stalks spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel of large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear blue. As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the hardy border or among shrubbery. Strong-flowering bulbs, 35 cts. each, 3 for $1, $3.50 ner doz., $25 per 100.

JAPANESE IRIS

Uris Kaempferi)

The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple, striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of coloring.

The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor- oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.

The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired. Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.

The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a moist position is preferable.

CULTURE OF IRISES.—The common varieties of Iris are well known favorites of the border, and the whole family deserves attention for their excellent faculty of tak- ing care of themselves if properly planted in the first instance. The tuberous or bulb- ous-rooted kinds do not require a rich soil; a sandy loam suits them well and they thrive in peat. Several of the most beautiful varieties should be grown in pots in frame, or in a cool greenhouse. All the varieties can be planted out in clumps in front of a shrubbery or herbaceous border, where they many be seen to advantage, or in the pasture and woodlands. The crown of the bulb must not be more than 3 inches below the surface.

Tricolor. A charming small-flowered sort, in which three distinct colors are com- bined in the same spike of flowers, the buds first appearing cochineal-red, chang- ing to canary-yellow as they develop, finally opening a sulphur-white; very free- flowering. August to October. 2% feet. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

Triumph. A strong-growing variety that produces from August to October flower- heads 12 to 16 inches long, on stems 4 to 5 feet high, and are entirely distinct in color, being of a rich saffron-yellow, shaded orange-red. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

W ater Lilies

The planting of Water Lilies and aquatics is becoming more popular every year. It is not necessary to have a pond or swamp at your disposal.

126 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City A Few Hints on Outdoor Rose Growing

BY AN EXPERT

ARRIVAL OF PACKAGE.— Immediately the package containing the roses arrives, it should be taken to a cellar or sheltered place, where the drying winds cannot penetrate, to be carefully unpacked. The plants should be taken from the bundle and the roots and tops thoroughly sprinkled with water, after which they may be covered with a sack or mat until they are planted. Should the weather be wet and the soil unfit to receive them, it is best to open a trench, lay the plants in thickly, cover- ing the roots well with soil until the weather be fine and soil sufficiently dry to tread upon. If planting is being performed during a dry wind or sunny day it will benefit the plants, before taking them from the shelter in which they were unpacked, to dip the roots of each plant in a thick puddle made of clay and water ; this will cover the fibrous roots with a coating sufficient to protect them from the most severe winds.

FROSTS.—Should frost set in after the receipt of plants so as to prevent planting, the roses on arrival should not be opened, but rolled up in a mat or straw and put away in a dry house where there is no heat. The plants, which are always carefully packed be- fore leaving will, when sotreated, keep safely for one month.

DELAY OF PACKAGE—It oc- casionally happens through negligence on the part of express companies that packages containing plants are unduly delayed, and instances may occur when some of the plants may have become shriveled. In such cases, lay the shriveled plants quite flat in the bottom of a trench in the ground, similar to that prepared for celery, cover them entirely (both roots and tops) with soil which has received a good soaking with water, and allow them to remain there for three days. At the expiration of that period uncover and take them out, when it will be found that the wood and buds have regained their normal condition.

=~

Bis Whit

SOIL.—That which is especially adapted to the rose is a deep soil of a greasy nature. Where this is not to be had, and the soil is light, add either clay or loam in addition to manure. If heavy clay, some burnt earth, sand or leaf mold should be added.

SITUATION AND PREPARATION OF GROUND.— A place sheltered from high winds (open, and not surrounded by trees, as closeness is liable to cause mildew), and apart from other flowers, should, if possible, be assigned to them ; a south, southeastern or southwestern position is best, the beds being

e Baby Rambler, Catharine Siemeth (page 132)

situated so as to receive the morning sun. Oblong beds, not over | | soft soap ; to this may be added another gallon or two of water.

four feet, are preferable, as the flowers may be cut or examined without going off the path or grass. The rose will not thrive in a stagnant soil, so that if drainage does not naturally exist it must be provided. If it is not convenient to use tiles, a layer

of broken stones six to nine inches deep or any other coarse material will answer the purpose. This done, the soil should be dug or trenched to a depth of at least eighteen inches, mix- ing plenty of manure, made very much like a sandwich, with alternate layers of manureand earth.

PLANTING may be safely continued until April. Great care must be taken to avoid deep planting. In case of dwarf roses, place the union of the stock with the bud two inches

| beneath the soil. Each root should be laid out carefully, taking

care that two roots do not cross each other or coil round ; this is very important for the well-being of plants. The roots of standard roses require similar treatment, and must be placed about five inches belew the sur- face. Do not put the manure on the bare roots, but first place some fine soil over them, after which manure may be laidon. Tread firmly and spread some coarse litter on the surface around the plant as a protection from frost. Stand- ards should be staked and any very long shoots on the dwarf plants shortened.

MANURING.— Cow manure is ad- mittedly the best. It is best to apply surface dressing in the autumn for pro- tection against frost, which should be forked or hoed in during the early spring.

PRUNING .— It is best to prune early in March (unless the plants are late planted, when it should be deferred until April). In all cases it is neces- sary to cut away all weak or unripe wood, leaving only the strong and well matured. This, in the case of strong- growing kinds, should be cut back to five or six eyes; the weaker and shorter growing must be pruned closer, only leaving two or three eyes on each shoot. This refers to hybrid perpetual, hybrid tea, and tea rose; the climbing and pillar sorts should not be cut back; the tips of the shoots should be taken off and the shoots thinned.

WATERING.—Should the spring and summer prove dry, watering is absolutely necessary, and, if liquid manure can be had, so much the better.

INSECTS.—Insects are very troublesome to the rose- grower. In spring, almost as soon as the plants begin to grow, the caterpillar or rose grub attacks them; these can only be destroyed by hand-picking. After this the greenfly makes its appearance, which should be kept in subjection by spraying the plants with the following mixture:—Take 4 ounces of quassia chips, and boil them ten minutes in a gallon of soft water, then strain it, and while cooling dissolve in it 4 ounces of

MILDEW .—Dust flowers of sulphur over the affected parts as soon as it makes its appearance. Another good remedy is sulphide of potassium, (oz. to the gallon, applied with syringe.

OTHER ROSES

bane

SELECTED LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD BUSHES; LOW-BUDDED Roses still hold popular sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have made special arrangements this year with regard to

the quality of the stock and list of varieties, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness. We are handling this year only American-grown and English-grown Roses, as we find these are much better ripened, and, if planted in the fall, winter over much more satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grown Roses usually sold at department stores. They are also budded lower and are less liable to “sucker” from the briar upon which they are budded.

Hydrangea Arborescens Sterilis

AMERICAN EVERBLOOMING HYDRANGEA, also called SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW, GRANDIFLORA ALBA, ETC,

Believed to be the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced during the last twenty years. It was found growing wild on the rocky hills of Western Pennsylvania several years ago. The old well-known Hydrangea paniculata grandifiora, which, up to the introduction of the new form, has been one of the most popular flowering shrubs, bleoms in this latitude only during August, while the new sort blooms continuously from early June until the endof the growing season. The size of the flower is one of the striking features of this shrub. Blooms 12 inches across are frequent in young plants, while the average size on mature plants is usually 6 inches or more. The color of the flower isa pure, dazzling white, without the creamy and later pink tints of the old H. paniculata grandiflora. The flowers, when cut, possess remark- able keeping qualities, remaining in good form and color many days. This Hydrangea gives every promise of becoming even more popular than the well-known H/. paniculata grandiflora; as it lacks the coarse- ness and stiffness of that variety; it is refined in tone and effect, and with its abundant and handsome foliage it lends itself readily to land- scape effects. It is a comely, handsome shrub at all times. It is at least as hardy as HA. paniculata grandiflora.

Strong, 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100

Pen ailey a es

and a world- known authority on horticultural

and agricultural subjects, writes in Collier’s Weekly, October 29, 1910, under the head,

”

“Making of New Plants—the Creation of Improved Varieties,” the following terse and

pertinent remarks, which we take the honor of printing, as they conform to our ideas of what quality seeds should be, and are along the lines which we are endeavoring to proceed, and the policy which we are trying to follow. It will pay our friends and custom-

ers to read the remarks of Prof. Bailey, founded on theory and actual practice.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GROWER

*‘T can not make my reader a plant breeder; but I want to open his mind to a great line of progress that is little realized.

‘‘T desire to say to him that it will pay him increasingly, as plant- breeding methods improve, to take good care to purchase only well-bred seed, not only of choice flowers and high-class vegetables, but of field crops as well. It is not enough that seeds be true to name, clean of weeds, and

strong enough to grow; they should also have good ancestry or pedigree.

‘*T wish to suggest, further, that he will find it pleasant and profitable work himself to improve the strain in some one or more of the plants that he cultivates. This can often be easily accomplished by using seed from marked plants of superior excellence, sowing these by themselves to avoid crossing with other plants, the following year again selecting out the best for seed.

“‘The grower of a small garden should be able to derive special per- sonal satisfaction from this careful plant-selection effort, because the small differences are in themselves so interesting, and the results are generally so readily secured. The effort is worth all it costs in training a person to see what he looks at, if in nothing more. The most satisfactory garden is not the one that is most perfect in the eyes of a gardener, but the one that has the most meaning.”’

Our telephone number is “2205 Chelsea”

Phone your order in and charge it to us, if you live within one hundred miles of New York City. Goods will go forward promptly.

Then Jet the gard’ner mark ith care The hind of stocks, and¥iohat these kinds Wwill bear. — Dryden
