NEW HARDY PHLOX
‘““CINNABAR’’
8
r
9
$
The red Phlox featured on front page of cover is one of the things we wish you to be sure and notice. While
j there are many and good Red Phloxes, there is no peer to this one. We have tried them all in comparison with this seedling, and find ‘Cinnabar’ distinctly different and superior, in coloring, form of flowers and plant, and in season of
} bloom. Clumps of this new variety, when well established, say the second or third year, produce heads of bloom whose compact, evenly rounded contour is unmatched by any other variety, and as large as the largest we have ever seen. Cinnabar is one of the very first Hardy Phloxes to bloom, being especially welcome at a time when there are all too few outside flowers, and retains its bright beauty until the latest sorts take up the work. The color is difficult
* to satisfactorily describe, and equally hard for artist’s pigments to faithfully portray. The name Cinnabar has been
selected from an approved color chart, to designate in a word its color value. While its composition embraces certain values of red, orange, blue, etc., the general result is a beautiful red, not glaring and gaudy, not the common brick
¢ red, not rosy red, but a soft velvety unimpeachable red all its own.
Young plants from pots, April and later delivery, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 1 year field grown plants 75 cts.
: each; $8.00 per dozen.
We have tried to give some idea of the beauty of this new variegated leafed tree on the last page of our cover, but no illustration can do it justice. Found growing ina bed of seedling Cornus Florida several years ago, it has stood the dry summers and cold winters with all the vigor of its old well known parent and possesses the same habit and characteristic growth. The leaves are beautifully blotched, tinted and bordered creamy white in early spring, changing to carmine centre and crimson margin in mid-summer and fall, holding its magnificent coloring the entire season. The best. variegated leafed tree that will thrive in our climate.
By mail, $2.00. By express or freight, 2 to 3 feet, $2.00; 3 to 4 feet, $2.50; 4 to 5 feet, $3.00.

N presenting Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seed for 1911 we wish to call your attention to the fact that never in the history of the seed business has there been such a general shortage of the various seeds. In many instances crops were total failures. We have been compelled to advance the prices on some of the
various kinds, but have done so only to cover the difference in cost to us. We wish to impress upon all our customers, old and new, that notwithstanding these very adverse crop conditions and the enormously increased cost of seed stocks, that “the High Standard of Quality” of ‘Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seeds’’ remains unchanged.
Special attention is called to our new varieties in vegetable and flower seeds. We have no hesitancy in recommending all of them to our patrons. We wish to remind you that we bear the expense of experiments and that we offer only such new varieties as we know by ‘‘Test’’ to have genuine merit.
To aid in selection of varieties we have designated by use of our trade Ge the ones we know, by test, to be the very best of their kinds. ae
We solicit your orders, knowing that we can please you, for our well defined policy of “Quality Only’’ and the best of treatment for our patrons is always upper- most in the conduction of our business. Thanking all our patrons for past favors and wishing the users of Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seeds for 1911 the greatest
success, We are THE STORRS & HARRISON CoO., Janvatyalse 1oOtae F PAINESVILLE, OHIO

ARTICHOKE
This vegetable is well and favorably known throughout Europe and is also very largely used in the Southern states. The flower heads are used green, cooked similar to asparagus, it is a desirable and profitable vegetable and deserves wider cultivation.
CULTURE. Sowseed early and transplant three feet each way. Plants bear second season and continue with slight protection in winter, for years.
Green Globe. This is the very best variety. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., 1% lb. $1.00, lb. $3.50.
ASPARAGUS
CULTURE. Seed of asparagus should be sown early in the spring; in drills two inches deep. When seedlings are one or two years old transplant (for the family garden) sixteen to eighteen inches apart each way and cover crowns to a depth of four inches. For commercial planting, plant in rows four to five feet apart, placing crowns eight to ten inches in the row. Well rotted manure and light soil should be used as a mulch in the fall, cover to a depth of six inches and fork in well in the spring. This mulching feature is very essential to good quality stalks, as the crowns mount to the surface, and unless so covered produce short, tough shoots. Nitrate of Soda applied broadcast at the rate of 150 lbs. to the acre, thoroughly worked in, is an excellent stimulant and hastens the growth. This should be applied before plants begin to grow in the spring, as its action is caustic and damage will result to shoots if applied after growth begins.
Columbian Mammoth White. sis very vigorous
growing sort produc- ing splendid white shoots of the very finest quality. We &B can highly recommend this variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. Iocts.,
14 |b. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts.
Conover’s Colossal. A well known standard variety, very large strong shoots of excellent quality, not as clear white as Mammoth White, but preferred by many. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14 Ib. 20 cts., lb. 55 cts.
Palmetto. The very earliest variety and of the green type, deli- cious flavor and very popular and profitable as a market variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. Io cts., %4 lb. 20 cts.. 1b. 60 cts.
ASPARAGUS ROOTS
We recommend the purchase of roots of asparagus to those who want quick returns. The purchase of roots will save a year’s time.
We can supply the following varieties:
Conover’s Colossal, Columbian Mammoth White and Palmetto. 65 cts. for 50; $1.00 for I00.
BEANS
CULTURE. Beans are legumes and many think they are a poor soil crop. Thisisa mistake. En- rich your soil well. A light loam is best adapted toa perfect bean crop. Plant as soon as all danger of frost is past in rows from two feet for hand cultivation to three feet for horse cul-’ tivation. Cultivate thoroughly and often, keeping a mulch of loose soil at all times. When crop comes to bloom cultivate shallow, as deep cultivation at this time causes many blooms to drop, decreasing the crop. This extra effort will more than repay you in the quantity and qual- ity of your crop. Plant every two weeks for a succession a pint for eighty feet of row, one to two bushels per acre.

BEETS
Beets for best results should have a rich loam soil.
Land that has been well fertilized for a previous crop is a good situation. In preparing your seed bed, pulverize until as fine a bed as is possible to make is secured.
Sow as early as ground can be worked in drills from twelve to eighteen inches for hand culture to two and one-half feet for horse cultivation, cover to a depth of one to two inches, continuing every ten days for a succession. Thin to a stand of four to six inches apart in the rows.
Cultivate thoroughly and often. One ounce for sixty feet of drill, six to eight pounds for one acre.

SUGAR BEETS and MANGEL WURZELS
The directions for beet planting answer for sugar beets and mangel wurzels, except that these should be drilled in rows 2% feet apart and thinned to 8 to 12 inchesin the row. Thorough and frequent cultivation is essential when beets are young. Dis- continue cultivation as soon as the roots mature, which state is indicated by drying of the leaves. Further cultivation injures them by inducing new growth, which lessens their value, which is measured by the amount of sugar they contain. Store in earth covered heaps. Klein Wanzleben.

CAB BAGE
Quality of seed in cabbage has. more to do with results than in any other vegetable crop. Slighting of care with any part of the handling a variety for seed means greatloss to the seed buyer.
We are securing cabbage seed from the world’s fore- most growers, men who have made the success of the resulting crops a study, therefore we claim to have the very best in cabbage seed that money can buy.
CULTURE. The ground must be highly manured, deeply dug or plowed, and thoroughly worked to insure good heads. A heavy, moist and fresh loam is the most suitable. The early varieties should be sown very early in the spring in hot bed or later in open ground. Plant out 18 inches by two feet apart. The late varieties are usually sown by the last of May and the plants set out in July, in rows three feet apart, and two feet apartin the rows. One ounce will produce 3,000 plants, 14 Ib. of seed in beds enough for an acre.
Early Jersey Wakefield. This is the hardiest and hardest heading of the extra early sorts,
and most Northern gardeners depend upon it for their first crop. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 34 Ib. 70 cts., lb. $2.25.

op
Our advice relative to cabbage seed is very pronounced in regard to cauliflower. Difficulty is often experienced in getting cauliflower of the very best quality to head up. Cheaper grades of seed often fail entirely to produce plants that will head. We offer only the finest and surest heading strains of each variety.
CULTURE. Make the soil as fine as possible for every transplanting, and do not allow the young plants to become checked at any time for want of water. For spring and early summer use, sow in January or February in hot bed, and transplant to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the garden as soon as ground is warm enough. For late autumn crops, sow in the early part of June, and transplant in July. In dry weather water freely, and as they advance in growth hoe deep and draw earth to the stem. When heading tie the out- side leaves loosely over the heads to protect from the sun.
Very early, and one of Early Snowball. the surest to head. If
planted March tst, large-sized heads will be produced early in June. Its dwarf habit of growth renders it one of the best for forcing under glass. Valuable for late planting also. Pkt. 25 cts., %4 oz. 60 cts., 0z. $2.00.
Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. An extra early variety. Scarcely a plant fails to produce a good head. Pkt. 25 cts., % oz. 60 cts., oz. $2.00.
Early Favorite. This is very early, exceedingly hardy; will head under conditions in which many sorts would fail. They form large heads which, although inclined to be open, are crisp, tender and of fine quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % Ib. $1.75.
CARROTS
Carrots are extremely nutritious and wholesome vegetables and are not appreciated as they should be in this country. In some European countries they contribute largely to the food of both man and beast. They are splendid horse and cattle feed. If you plant for no other purpose, try some for your horses this year.
CULTURE. Deeply tilled soil of alight sandy loam is the most suitable for carrots. Land that has been manured heavily the year previous is the best. Cover the seed about one-half inch in depth, and press the soil firmly over the seed with the feet or a roller. For early use sow as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, and for late crop from May Ist to June 1st. Sow in drills 15 inches apart and thin to three or four inches apart in row. Two and one-half pounds of seed will sow an acre, 14 ounce to 100 feet of drill.
Early Snowball
Chantenay. Uniform and intermediate in size and shape. The flesh is of a deep golden orange y color. For table use one of the best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 1% Ib. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. &

CELERY
Celery is one of the most profitable of all crops. In the South fortunes are being made in the production of celery. Almost every garden has some spot adapted to its growth. Muck and low lands can often be turned to greater profit in celery than any other crop.
CULTURE. Sow seed in the open ground, as soon as the soil can be worked into a perfect seed bed, cover lightly and roll or firm the covering soil as the seed is slow to germinate and you must retain the mois- ture. Sowingin rows from ten to twelve inches apart is preferable to broadcasting; by this means cultivation may be kept up, allowing no check in the growth. Cut tops occasionally to make stocky growth.
Transplant in July to a previously prepared bed made consider- ably richer than seed bed, plant in single or double rows; if single rows four feet apart and six to eight inches in the row, if double rows, rows may be made ten inches apart, skip six feet and plant another double row and so on. This method allows of double returns with the same labor in hilling if soil is rich enough to support.
Cultivate thoroughly and often until hilling begins; by the above method of planting, the use of modern celery hillers is allowed and no handwork is necessary, as hilling is accomplished as fast as a horse can walk.
Some varieties (called green or winter types), like Winter Reliance, are easily blanched and also stored for winter use in trenches, made by digging the width of a spade to the depth of plants height. Pull plants from field, do not shake off all earth and stand closely in trenches, cover tops with litter or straw deep enough to prevent freezing.
Golden Self-Blanching This is by far the most desirable - of all celery for earliness,
excellence of quality and ease of growth. Rarely if ever pithy and of a rich golden yellow color. Among market gardeners this is the variety that isin greatest demand. As the name implies it is also en- tirely self-blanching. Pkt.10 cts., oz. 75 cts.,
% \b. $2.75.

Some markets require a loose or curled leaf variety, while others demand head varieties. We list - both types, also Cos or Celery Lettuce. Our seeds are very carefully selected, germination and true- ness to type is carefully tested. No better strains exist than those we offer.

ONIONS |
Onions are among the short crops in some varieties this year. Our selected strains are the best that money can buy. We have only pedigree seed and prices are right.
CULTURE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suitable for this crop. Muck beds well drained to the depth of two feet give large yields. A black sandy loam is also excellent. The ground should be heavily | dressed with well rotted manure, and plowed a moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow in order to more thoroughly mix the manure with the soil; if possible the plowing should be done in the fall. As early in the spring as the ground isin working order harrow it thoroughly and make as fine and level as possible; sow thinly in drills one-fourth inch deep and 14 inches apart.
Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds, but do not ridge up to the growing bulbs. One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, four to five pounds per acre for large onions, 50 to 60 lbs. for sets. Market _gardeners and others requiring onion seed in large quantities should write for special prices.

The chief value of onion sets lie in the quickness of their being ready for the table. For green onions much time can be gained by their use.
CULTURE. Onion sets should be planted out as early as the ground is dry enough to work; plant them in rows one foot apart with sets three or four inches apart. When raised from sets the onions can be used in the green state in June, or they will be ripened off by July.

Ww PEAS
Peas are the shoitest crop in years, some growers are claiming total failures. We were fortunate in hav- ing our wants fully taken care of and we know our prices are not as high as many other houses are asking.
CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for the general crop a moderately heavy soil is best. Commence sowing the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, continue for a succession every two weeks until June. It is a good plan to sow the early, second early and the late varieties at the same time for a succession. One quart for 100 feet of drill; two to three bushelsfor an acre. The wrinkled varieties are more susceptible to cold, wet weather than the small, round hard sorts, hence should not be planted very early except in warm, dry locations. They are sweeter and better flavored.
In comparing prices, please bear in mind that our prices are postage paid by us, on pints and quarts, and if ordered by express, purchasers may deduct fifteen cents per quart from prices named. Peck and bushel rates are by express or freight, pur- chasers paying charges.

TOMATO
Nothing in the seedsman’s line of vegetable seeds occupies the prominence in care, selection, _etc., of the tomato. So much depends upon the locality in which the seed crop is grown, the care with which it is handled, etc., that we spare no expense or trouble in having our seeds grown in localities where they come to the highest state of perfection.
_ .You cannot buy better seed anywhere than the seed we offer of tomatoes.
Many ‘‘New Sorts”’ are offered every year. As is the case in everything we offer forsale, we bear the expense of experiments and we list only the very best varieties.
CULTURE. Sow in hot beds during March, or from six to eight weeks before they can be set out of doors; when the plants have four leaves transplant into shallow boxes, setting them four or five inches apart; give them plenty of air and endeavor to secure a vigorous but steady and healthy growth. so that at the time of set- tingin the open ground they will be strong and stocky. Set out of doors as soon as danger from severe frosts is over. Seed may be sownin the open ground also at this time, and will make strong hardy plants, that will be excellent for late fruiting. The fruit is improved in quality if the vines are tied to a trellis or to stakes.

At prices quoted by the pound to three pounds we pay postage. Larger quantities at purchaser’s expense, by freight or express.
HOW TOM AKE The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful lawn lies most largely AND KEEP A in the thorough preparation before a seed issown. If there is grading to be BE done the top soil to the depth of six to eight inches should first be removed to .
AUTIFUL LAWN one side; finish with the top soil after the grade is complete.
This should be thoroughly harrowed and raked to reduce to as fine a condition as possible, as well as to levelit, as nothing detracts so much from the appearance of a lawnasan uneven surface. Sow he seed as early in the spring as convenient, the earlier the better if the soil isin good condition, or it may be sown very wel! in August and September. Sow about half the seed in both directions at right angles to each other, which will give a more even sowing. After the seed has been sown it should be raked lightly, then rolled with a hand roller.
. is most admirably adapted to this purpose, and as near perfection as Our Velvet Sod Mixture possible to attain. One pound will seed about 300 square feet; 80
pounds, or four bushels, are required for an acre. Old lawns will be greatly benefited if, as early in the spring
as the weather will permit, they are carefully raked,so as to remove the dead grass and leaves that may
be on them, then sprinkle it with our Velvet Sod Mixture, which will renew the thin places and spots that have been killed by the winter or other causes, then give it a thorough rolling with a heavy hand roller.
As a fertilizer we would recommend pure bone meal as being lasting in its effects and free from weed seeds. Apply at the rate of 600 to 1000 pounds toacre. No one kind of grass will make a Jawn that will .eep beauti- fuily green all through the season, but a mixture of several is essential, as some varieties are more luxuriant in the spring, others in the summer, and again others in the autumn, and a proper combination of these various sorts is required to create and maintain a perfect carpet like lawn.
Complete instructions for lawn making and care will be found in every package.

The saving and selling of flower seed is in itself a science and can in no way be associated with fast and loose methods. The usual list of flower seeds with their botanical names is confusing to the average seed buyer. Our nomenclature is simplified as far as is possible.
No other firm in the United States is in a position to handle more intelligently, or with more satisfactory service. Our unlimited facilities for trials, our thorough observation and careful selection of flower seed, much of which is our own saving from the finest named varieties, all go to make up a service in this branch unsurpassed in America. With this service in view we have eliminated all undesirable types and varieties and while our list is not as large as some others it contains only such kinds as the average buyer can grow with success.
These will be found in the following pages, properly classified as to hardiness and duration and accurately described. Cultural directions for each variety will be found on the seed packets.
Flowers from seed are usually known as Annuals, Biennials and Perennials. Annuals bloom and ripen seed the first year and then perish.
Biennials do not generally flower the first season, and are in perfection only the second year. Perennials flower several years in succession. Many bloom the first year if sown early.
Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the spring if desired, and Biennials and Perennials will not require any protection in winter. The blooming period of all classes mav be greatly extended by picking off the flowers as soon as they fade.
Half Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can not be sown in open ground until warm weather; they can be sown in the house, if desired, early, and afterwards transplanted. The two latter need to ke protected in winter, or carried until spring in cold frames or greenhouses.

PAINESVILLE, OHIO _ GROWERS OF AMERICA Lorp PeNZANCES
Sweet BRIARS —
E have carefully classified and arranged the varieties of Roses offered in this catalogue, making two general divisions of Hardy Field Grown sorts and Pot Grown varieties. Special mention is made wherever certain sorts are offered in both divisions. Most of the classes offered under Field Grown division are perfectly hardy throughout the country and most of Canada, but the Everblooming Roses, which embrace the Teas, Hybrid Teas, Noisettes, etc., are not entirely hardy in all sections; consequently a little care for their winter protection is often necessary to insure success with out-door plantings.
In preparing a Rose Bed, select a sunny location guarded from cold north winds, if possible. Dig out the beds to a depth of two or three feet and about three feet in width; then refill the trench with a mixture of soil (any good, fertile soil will do) and well rotted cow manure, making provision for good drainage if location is not natur- ally drained. Time should be allowed for this filling to settle, the final top surface being an inch or two below the edges of the bed. Donot raise the surface of Rose beds above the surrounding surface. They suffer less from drought when left level with the turf.
Plant your roses in the center, being very particular to press and tamp the soil firmly around the roots; and soaking the bed thoroughly at the finish. The Everbloomers may be set 18 inches apart, the Hybrid Perpetuals about 2 feet. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two, by fre- | quent stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to roses of all sorts.
Protect for the Winter by covering bed at least 6 inches with leaves or manure; a binding surface of dirt, cornstalksor boughs on top. Aconvenient method is to confine this dressing by anenclosure of 12 inch chicken wire.
HARDY year FIELD GROWN ROSES Corser prantine YEAR OUTDOOR PLANTING This section embraces the Hybrid Perpetuals, the Hardy Climbers, the Hardy Rambler group, the Japanese
Memorial Rose and its hybrids, the Rugosas, Mosses, and various miscellaneous types that have proven their hardiness and adaptability for permanent out-door decoration in the colder parts of the temperate zone.
HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES
These are the‘‘June Roses’ so admirably suited for garden culture, the formation of rose beds, hedges, etc. In May and June these lovely roses are brilliant with large, perfumed flowers of richest colors, far exceeding the Everblooming classin size and vivid effects. Some varieties bloom late in summerand even into autumn. They luxuriate in a deep, rich soil, and are benefited by mulching with leaves or strawy manure in fall. Prune accord- ing to habit of growth, cutting back close all weak shoots and shortening the long canes toa convenient length.

PERNET’S NEW YELLOW ROSE
NOVELTY FOR 1911
We take pleasure in announcing the American debut of what is claimed by
Best Hardy
Pernet, the famous rose hybridizer of - Lyons, France, to be the grandest yellow Perpetual hardy rose ever sent out; the triumphant Blooming
accomplishment of many years of his
most ambitious effort. We quote in part the originator’s own description: Yellow ‘Rayon D’Or. A vigorous grower of
branching habit; with fine bronze- Rose
green foliage, glossy, and absolutely immune from the attacks of mildew. Oval shaped buds, tinged coppery- orange and streaked with brilliant scarlet bars. Flowers large and full, of fine globular form; superb cclor of yellow cadmium as the bloom begins to open, toning to sunflower yellow when fully ex- panded.” The bloom is very free and practically centinu- ous throughout the summer: and unlike most yel- low roses holds its brilliancy and
depth ci color from the bud, even to the last petal. Among other im- porting nurserymen who have seen this remarkable rose, we can heartily endorse the grower’sclaim that Rayon D’Or is the handsomest and deepest colored of ail yellow roses in existence. Strong plants $2.00 each.

White Dorothy Perkins. (N°)
Ramblers and the immensely popular Dorothy Perkins are noted and loved for the extravagance of their bloom, but white flowered species of the hardy Rambler type have heretofore proved disap pointing. Consequently a clean, distinct white, to run with the sanguine leaders of the group, has been a laudable and much pursued ambition. We believe such a rose is found. Here comes a seedling of Dorothy Perkins having every desirable attribute of its parent, and bearing magnificent clusters of gleaming white flowers, fully as double and fully as protuse as Dorothy the pin. For this year, 2144 inch pot plants only at 25 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen.

TUBEROUS ROOTED BEGONIAS
When grown outside, they should be taken up before cold weather, spread out to dry, and be packed away in boxes ot dry sand and stored through winter in some cool place, yet not where frost can reach them. Some little time before planting outside in spring they should be potted and kept inside until well started. They delight in a partially shaded location in soil com- posed of leaf mold, sand and well rotted manure.

CARNATIONS
Seemingly there is no end to the popularity and demand for these charming flowers; few orders coming to our files but call for some varieties or colors of Carnations. Their simplicity, beauty of form, vivid coloring and spicy scent attract where other and more elaborate flowers are unnoticed or rejected.
Enchantress. One of the grandest carnations of any color; an exquisitely delicate shade of shell-pink, deepening toward the center. Blooms early and continuously.
Harlowarden. The largest and best of its color, a bright dazzling crimson. Flowers often measure three inches in diameter, and are well supported on long stiff stems. A wonderfully free bloomer, always full of buds.

GLADIOLI
This class of summer-flowering bulbs is doubly val- uable for the brave field show of bloom, and for its generous supply of cutflowers. Gladiolus flowers last longer when cut than most any other flowers, and develop in water to a greater perfection than if left on the plant. Any rich, light garden soil will grow Gladioli if properly worked in preparation, and ex- posed to the benefit of full sunlight. Bulbs should be planted from the middle of April on into May through- out the Northern States, a second planting after two or three weeks ensuring a more even succession of bloom. Set bulbs 2 to 4inches deep and 2 inches apart in the drills; single rows 12 inches, and double rows 18 inches apart. Beds do well planted 4 to 6 inches apart each way.

WATER LILIES
The flowers are most fascinating, interesting and beautiful and no other plants can be grown with so little trouble or risk of failure. The hardy varieties may be planted as soon as vegetation begins in the spring. If not convenient to grow them in a pond or lily tank (which is preferable), they may be grown in tubs, several varieties being well adapted to this mode of culture. A warm sheltered position, yet with full exposure to sunshine, should be selected. Fill the tubs two-thirds full of turfy soil, enriched with decomposed hot-bed or farm-yard manure; cover with two inches of sand and fill with water. The crowns of the plant should be placed just under the surface of the soil. The tropical varieties are admirably adapted for outdoors in summer, if planted at the approach of warm weather, before which time they can be grown indoors in pots, set in tubs of water. In planting Nelumbiums, give them more root room than Nymphaeas; if grown in tubs, two or three inches of water will suffice.
HARDY AQUATICS
Nelumbium Speciosum. (Egyptian or Sacred Lotus.) This grand Lotus is perfectly hardy and is one of the loveliest of Water Lilies. The flowers, when just expanding, are of a beautiful rosy pink color; when open they are of a creamy white and pink and are very fragrant. It is a very interesting plant, and has been an immense success everywhere. Extra size, $1.50 each.

A great acquisition. 75 cts.; 12 for $7.50,

HE annual seed-plantings in their bloom, and the bright colors of the hardy perennial flowers, shold an undisputed and important place in the beautifying of the home grounds; but with all their beatity and utility, there is still something lacking to make a complete whole, unless there is a harmonious ‘comple- ment of the hardy flowering shrubs. The man with extensive grounds can plant in masses and create magnificent effects on a grand scale, but the average owner of a small home, with its limited grounds, must meet the need with discrimination. The list of flowering shrubs is rich in variety, and yield their treasures to every requirement. Just a few chosen sorts will yield, not only a summer display of charming flowers and a fall succession of ornamental berries; but the yellow, white, gray, purple and greens of bark and foliage brighten the entire season. Home-makers should bear in mind that shrub-planting builds for posterity and for the present.
Prices attached to descriptions are for one year plants, except where special mention is made.

will grow in any good soil, but are finest in a some- what sheltered situation, where the soil is deep, well drained and mulched with leaves. In hot, dry weather soak the ground,—say about once a week. A pro- tection of leaves and brush during the winter will — ee

HARDY ORNAMENTAL CLIMBING VINES
The hardy vines are a great boon to home-makers because the rapidity of their growth will in one season do much to overcome that appearance of ‘“‘newness’’ so painfully evident in a newly built settlement; and long before trees and shrubs have become well established, will transform the general effect into one of homely comfort and affectionate care. They have done more to cover and conceal the unsightly evidences of man’s stupidity, coarse- ness or neglect, and to beautify inharmonious natural environments, than any other class of things that grow.

CHERRIES
Hearts and Bigarreaus (which are starred) are var- ieties of rapid growth with large, glossy leaves, forming fine, pyramid-shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious sweet fruit. Dukes and Morellos generally produce acid fruit, do not attain so large a size, are well adapted for dwarfs or pyramids, are hardier and better adapted for shipping to market.
We know of nothing in the fruit line that have been giving or promise to give in the future larger returns than cherry orchards. Few markets are ever over supplied.
