Important to Intending Purchasers

=s(c,41E take pleasure in submitting to our . patrons and the public a choice selection if of Peonies, Phloxes, Irises, which may be Zi} planted with best results in September, Ai although if it be inconvenient to plant

| so early, the planting may be deferred until October without detriment.

So much interest has been manifested in these plants the last few years, that we have greatly enlarged our collections by securing at home and abroad the choicest varieties, and we can recommend them, assuring our patrons that they will give satisfaction.

This season we have such a large stock that we are able to offer many varieties at greatly reduced prices and at the same time furnish first-class plants.

In addition to our general list of Roses, we offer many new kinds which are described in this booklet. The New Climbing Roses are particularly valuable.

We are also able this season to reduce the price of many varieties of Roses, particularly of the newer kinds, as we now have a good stock of strong field-grown plants.

In both the Fruit and Ornamental, as well as in the Rose Departments, our Nurseries are kept fully up to the times. We procure as soon as introduced every novelty that promises to be worthy of dissemination and carefully test it in our trial grounds, sending out only such intro- ductions as prove meritorious.

Intending purchasers are requested to send for our General Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Flow- ering Shrubs, Hardy Roses, Perennials (104 pp.), beau- tifully illustrated and containing planting directions.

Grateful for the liberal patronage which we have enjoyed for upwards of seventy years, we solicit a con- tinuance of the same.

HERBACEOUS PEONIES

HE PEONY is a noble flower, almost rivaling the Rose in | brilliancy of color and perfection of bloom, and the Rhodo- dendron in stately growth. The first point in its favor is hardiness. It may be truly said to be “hardy as an oak.” In the severest climate the plants require no other protection than that which they afford themselves. Then their vigorous habit and healthy growth, freedom from all diseases and insects are important argu- ments in favor of their cultivation. Each succeeding year adds to their size and beauty. The foliage is rich and glossy and of a beau- tiful deep green color, thus rendering the plants very ornamental even when out of flower. The newer varieties produce very large, handsome, regularly formed cupped blooms, resembling large roses. No other flower is so well adapted for large, showy bouquets. The Peony may be planted either singly on the lawn or in borders. Where the lawn is extensive a large bed makes a grand show, sur- passing a bed of Rhododendrons. It is really a flower for the million. It flowers early in June. Our collection has been made with great care and includes the best and most distinct varieties.

Varieties priced per each only, are net and can be furnished in limited quantities only. Not less than six of a variety will be sold at dozen rate.

HARDY PHLOXES

RE of vigorous habit, easy culture, and produce in great pro- DN fusion during a long season, flowers of fine form and substance and of bright and varied colors. As regards their culture, it may be briefly stated that they succeed in any good garden soil, but they are greatly improved by being liberally manured, and an occa- sional supply of liquid manure during the growing season will greatly increase the size of their trusses. When in flower they should be watered freely every evening. The Phlox usually flowers in July and August, and in order to render it autumnal flowering, it is necessary to pinch the shoots about the first of June and again in July. The plants will then flower in September. For early flowers some of the plants may be left unpinched. When two years old the finest trusses are produced. The third year the plants flower tolerably well; but they will not keep thrifty and healthy after that. The old plants should then be lifted in the fall, divided and transplanted. But the better plan is to keep up a succession of young plants from cuttings by securing a fresh collection every year. We annually introduce all new and desirable varieties of home and foreign production. zee pee time to plant them is in the autumn. Our plants are large and fine.

Price, 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen.

HARDY ROSES

Plant Hardy Roses in October and have an abundance of Flowers the following June

N this and similar climates the best time to plant all Hardy Roses if is in the month of October, say after the 10th, when the plants will be ripened and in first-class condition to ship with safety. We shall have for the coming season an unusually large supply, embracing all the choice older varieties and the newer sorts which have been tested the past season and can now be offered with confi- dence. Conspicuous among the later introductions are the—

REMARKABLE NEW ROSES

NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE

Orleans. One of the most valuable of the Dwarf Polyantha sec- tion. The plant is vigorous, very free flowering, and the trusses are very large; color, geranium red suffused with rose. It flowers all summer. It is said to be the best Polyantha ever raised. We regard it is a most important acquisition for bed- ding. 50c.

‘*The Orleans Rose is, without a doubt, the best of the Dwarf

Polyantha varieties. The pyramidal trusses of bloom are of immense

size, making a highly decorative pot plant.’’—London Garden.

NEW BABY RAMBLERS

Joan of Arc. A new and distinct variety with large white flowers; very promising. 50c.

Vaughan’s White Baby Rambler. Flowers are borne in clusters of 50 to 75 individual flowers; foliage glossy and finely cut; vigorous, hardy and free blooming. A fine bedding variety. 50c.

Phyllis. Dwarf Bedding Polyantha. One of the best Polyanthas for bedding; a vigorous grower and good bloomer till frost sets in; flowers bright carmine pink, shading to white in the center. 50¢.

Jessie. Dwarf Bedding Polyantha. Another charming novelty. Blooms constantly until killed by frost. Flowers disposed in huge clusters and of a bright cherry crimson color, which does not fade or develop the objectionable purple tints. It is by far the best crimson variety yet piaced upon the market and an ideal rose for pot culture, massing or bedding. 50c.

Mrs. Taft. An improved Crimson ‘‘ Baby Rambler.’’ Color rosy crimson; a good shade. 50c.

Mrs. W. H. Cutbush. Flowers in large trusses and of a beautiful pink color. Habit of Baby Rambler; a charming perpetual flowering Polyantha. 50c.

NEW EVERBLOOMING CRIMSON ROSE

President Taft. Flowers double, well formed, bright red; plant vigorous and free blooming. A most promising bedding rose. It is a cross between Gruss an Teplitz and Cramoisie Superieur, and considering its parentage much may be expected from it. 75c.

MOUNT HOPE NURSERIES

THE VIOLET BLUE ROSE

THE VIOLET BLUE RAMBLER

Veilchenblau (Violet Blue). Thenew rambler, ‘‘ Veilchenblau”’ (Violet Blue), which is hailed by the German rose growers as the forerunner of a genuinely cornflower blue rose, is a seedling of Crimson Rambler. The blossoms, massed in large umbels, are semi-double, of medium size. The color on first unfolding, is either reddish pink or purplish pink, then turns amethyst, and finally steel blue as the flower fades. The general color impres- sion is that of the March violet. The yellow stamens appear in sharp contrast to the blue petals. The plant is vigorous in growth, with shining green foliage and few but sharp thorns. So far it has not suffered from mildew, and is considered one of the most hardy ramblers. There is now no question concerning the merit of this unique novelty. We had it in bloom on our grounds this summer and the great masses of violet blue flowers produced a wonderful effect. 50c.

15

ELLWANGER & BARRY

THE LYON ROSE

Interesting cross of the Yellow Rose with a Hybrid Tea, con- stituting a new race of Roses.

The Lyon Rose. Istheresult of a cross between Madame Melanie Soupert, Hybrid Tea, and an unnamed variety, the direct off- spring of Soleil d’Or. The flowers are of large size, moderately full, globular in form, of a superb shrimp pink color and fragrant ; the buds are large, long, and coral red. This is unquestionably a very promising new rose, novel and entirely distinct. $1.00.

EVERBLOOMING CRIMSON RAMBLERS

Flower of Fairfield. For many years it has been the aim of every rose grower to raise a Rambler that would be ever-bloom- ing, and now we are able to offer such a rose. This new variety is a sport from the famous and beautiful Crimson Rambler, similar in color, but more brilliant and more lasting than the old favorite. If possesses a further advantage over any other Ram- bler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young wood in its first year. The new “ Flower of Fairfield’’ is of vigorous growth, and when in bloom supersedes anything else by the wonderful display of its brilliant crimson clusters of blossoms. It starts blooming in the early spring, and continues to flower till late in autumn, thus it is rightly termed ‘‘ Perpetual Bloom- ing.”’ This new climber is not only most effective for covering walls or trellises, arches, etc., but most attractive for table decorations and other cut purposes. 50c.

Miss G. Mesman (Everblooming Climbing Baby Rambler ). Bears large, compact panicles of bright carmine flowers and blooms continually from June until frost. As strong a grower as Crimson Rambler but not as thorny and free from mildew. $1.00.

TRIER, EVERBLOOMING RAMBLER

Trier. Flowers pale salmon pink with yellow anthers; flowers small, almost single, produced in large clusters. The first of a new race of roses. Constantly in bloom and as good in Septem- ber and October as in the height of the season. Moreover, its dark green leathery foliage and red wood are mildew proof; makes a fine bush requiring no pruning, and will soon be in everybody’s garden.—J/. H. Pemberton in the National ( English) Rose Society’s Annual of 1908. 50e.
