A Happy June Flowering Combination
Hardy Lilium Candidum and Hardy Delphinium “Larkspur”
Hardy Lilium Candidum
Bulbs Arrive in August
Sometimes called St. Joseph’s, Madonna or Annunciation Lily
LILIUM CANDIDUM “MADONNA LILY”
In some of the older gardens we find examples of the use of this grand Lily. Some of the original clumps blooming still and when all is considered, it is probably the most popular and satisfactory of all American garden Lilies. The Lily of old paintings and poetical myths, pure, waxy white flowers produced on straight stems bearing anywhere from ten to thirty blooms of good size and substance; delightfully fragrant; effective plantings are obtained by massing them in clumps or borders, and planted in combination with
DELPHINIUM “LARKSPUR” (See Below)
the result is most striking and not excelled by any other hardy plants for general beauty in June. Our stocks are direct from northern France and of the true “THICK PETALED” type. To in- sure absolute success, plant the bulbs as early as possible — September preferred. Set bulbs about 6 inches deep and completely envelop with sand.
Hardy Delphinium- “Larkspur”
Delphiniums. — The glorious Delphinium, or pe- rennial Larkspurs, form one of the most showy and interesting groups of hardy garden plants which we possess. We can readily say that few gardens seem complete without a group or two of these most graceful perennials, and we cannot easily find a sub- stitute which embodies the same noble foliage, tall, graceful flower spikes, and exquisite shades of color- ing which they possess. In many gardens there is a scarcity of blue flowers, and, this being the case, we can rely upon the Delphiniums to supply the de- ficiency in this direction.
What blues they are! We find every shade of it, from the palest of sky-blues to the blue that is “lost in purple.” Mauves, whites, violets, and other shades we have in plenty, but it is blue that is in- separably associated with perennial Larkspurs. As mentioned above, when this beautiful perennial is planted in conjunction with HARDY LILIUM CANDIDUM (see above), the combination when in bloom has to be seen to be really appreciated.

How to Send Money
(which should accompany the order). This may be made by Chicago or New York Draft, Postoffice Order, Express Order, or Registered Letter. Small amounts can be sent in clean postage stamps of low denominations.
Free Delivery
We will deliver all purchases amounting to One Dollar and upwards free in Chicago and suburbs.
Non-Warranty
Most of the failures with seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavorable weather or soil conditions, too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which renders it im- possible for us to guarantee success, and although we take all possible care to supply only such goods as will, under proper conditions, produce satisfac- tory results, we still give no warranty as to descrip- tion, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, plants or bulbs we send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop, and every order for articles named in this catalogue will be executed on these conditions only. It must, however, be plain to everyone who gives the matter the slightest thought, that it is to our best interests to send out only such stock as will not only grow, but prove true to name and description.

WINTERSON’S “WORTH WHILE”
Quality Bulbs
The simple manner in which flowers are produced from bulbs should be an incentive for everyone to grow them, be it only a few pots of Polyanthus Narcissus, Hya- cinths, etc., in the home or conservatory, or a bed or border of Tulips, Daffodils, Snowdrops, etc., out of doors. A good selection will furnish blooms throughout the win- ter months, w'hile an assortment planted in the open in the autumn will produce their flowers in early spring when the rest of nature is asleep. Sound bulbs of good size are, of course, necessary for best results, and our “WORTH WHILE” quality, imported direct from the best sources in Europe, will insure success. We would also call attention to our special list of HARDY GAR- DEN PLANTS AND FLOWERING AND ORNA- MENTAL SHRUBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING.

The Growth of Bulbs in Winterson’s Fertilized Fibre, in China and Composition Vases or Bowls
Without Drainage
The Best and Most Charming Way of Growing Winter Flowering Bulbs in the Home, Schools, Etc.
The wonderful success that has been achieved in growing bulbs, such as Roman Hyacinths, Paper White Grandi- flora Narcissus, Dutch Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocus, etc., in our special fibre, using vases without drainage, proves that it is not only a most charming and effective method of growing bulbs for those who have neither a large garden, the conveniences of greenhouses, or frames, or have difficulty in obtaining suitable soil, but that it is also one which we feel sure is being, and will be, much more extensively adopted in the future when it is fully realized what can be done in this way.
The advantage of this system is, that the vases can be placed anywhere about the house, in the drawing-room or dining-room, without fear of any mess from water or soil coming through the base of pots. The Fibre is perfectly odorless, and clean to handle. It is specially and carefully prepared by ourselves for this purpose and we strongly recommend all our customers to try a few various bulbs in this way if they have not yet done so.
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS
When growing bulbs in vases without drainage it is first necessary to water the fibre, then rub it through the hands until it is free from lumps. If the mixing is properly clone the fibre will increase in bulk, and if taken in the hand and squeezed, little or no water should drop out. When potting, put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom of the vase to absorb the impurities and keep the mixture sweet, then put in one to three inches of the compost accord- ing to the depth of the bowl. After placing the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to within half an inch of the rim, the spaces between and around the bulbs should be filled with the moistened fibre. It is not necessary or de- sirable to press it tightly, as the roots do not grow freely if it is pressed too firmly. Small bulbs, such as Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Jonquils, etc., should be planted fairly close together in order to produce the best effect. After planting, the bowls should be kept in a cool, airy cellar or room (not a confined closet) for from four to eight weeks (depending upon the variety), so that they may develop good root-growth which is very essential in order to get good results. The bowls should be examined once a week and a little water given when necessary, as the fibre must not be allowed to get dry or the flower buds become “blind.” The surface should always look moist, but if too much water has been given, the bowl may be held carefully on its side so that the surplus water can drain away. As the growth increases more water will be required and as much light as possible to insure sturdy foliage. A succession of bloom may be had during the winter by taking into the house a few dishes at intervals of about two weeks.

Darwin Tulip— “Pride of Haarlem”
See illustration below
While the Darwin Tulips are, as a class, all exceptionally beautiful, the variety “Pride of Haarlem” is one of the most effective, producing enormous flowers of a most striking vivid rose color shaded with a salmon flush. This grand variety is unsurpassed for groups because of Its fine color and stately habit, particularly effective when planted in shrubbery borders — the foliage har- monizing most pleasantly with the vivid tones of the flower. Price, each, 5c; dozen, 50c: per 100. §3.50: per 1,000. §30.00,

Winterson’s “Brilliant Keizerskroon”
See "Photo’’ Illustration Opposite.
A bed of this most beautiful of early tulips, when in bloom, is certainly a dazzling sight. The combination of colors, Brilliant Red and Dazzling Gold, cannot be surpassed by any other varie- ty. The flowers are of extra large size with very strong stems, which protect them against rain and wind storms; furthermore, on account of their general strong character, they make a perfect showing for a longer time than any other va- riety. We have received from a specialist in Holland an excep- tionally fine stock of this tulip and offer them at the low prices as below:
Price, regular first size bulbs, each, 4c; dozen, 35c; per 100, §2.00; per 1,0*0, §16.00.
Price, “Mother" bulbs, extra fine, frequently producing two and more flowers to each bulb, each, 6c; dozen, 50c; per 100, §3.00; per 1,000, §25.00.

THE BETTER VARIETIES
In no other flower has Dame Nature bestowed more brilliancy or variety of coloring than in the Tulip; and coming into bloom almost with the first blush of spring, when there is little else to gladden the eye, makes it the more refreshing and desirable.
Not only is the Tulip gorgeous in coloring, but its beautiful cup-like form is most exquisite and borne well above the handsome bright green, spear-like leaves. Nothing Will Afford More Satisfaction or Attract More Attention
than a well arranged bed of Tulips or when sprinkled in the perennial border and amongst shrubbery, etc.
CULTURE — The Tulip is of the easiest culture. Plant bulbs in October or November in light well-stirred rich soil, about three inches below the surface and six inches apart. Covering with a few inches of straw or dead leaves before severe cold weather and removing same as soon as shoots appear in spring, will prove beneficial.
DIFFERENCE IN BULBS — There is much difference in the size of bulbs. A full size bulb planted in autumn will bloom the following spring, while smaller ones may not, hence the advantage of having bulbs judiciously se- lected, a point to which we give careful attention.

WINTERSON’S GRAND TULIP MIXTURES
Our Tulip mixtures contain a great variety of colors and will produce excellent flowers. They are not, of course, as desirable for bedding, where uniformity is desired, as the named or separate colors; however they give very fine results in this connection, and for cut flowers they are sure to give much pleasure. Desirable for planting in shrubbery borders, etc. We import only first size bulbs.

“Darwin's”
Tulips
of
Wondrous Beauty
We cannot too strongly recommend this class of Tulips for garden decoration in groups in the herbaceous border and amongst shrubs, etc.
Grown for cut flowers, they will prove highly valuable at a season when our gardens yield so little to decorate the home. They flower from the middle to the latter part of May, a time at which the blooming of early spring flowers is over and before summer roses, etc., have ap- peared. Growing to a height of a couple of feet or more, with perfectly colored flowers double the size of an ordi- nary Tulip. The Darwin deserves to be thoroughly inter- spersed along borders, etc.

WINTERSON’S AUTUMN GARDEN GUIDE.
“Dutch Roman” or Miniature Hyacinths
ALSO CALLED “PAN” AND POMPOM HYACINTHS
A very simple method of growing Hyacinths for winter flowering in the house is to start them in earthen pans, planting only one kind of Hyacinth in one pan, in order to have them all bloom at once, and to have them all the same shade. The varieties mentioned below are the best sorts for this mode of culture. By planting 10 or 12 of these “Pan Hya- cinths” in a pan 8 or 9 inches in diameter the most satisfactory results will be obtained. They come into flower after the French Roman Hyacinths and are extremely fragrant.
These (so-called) Miniature Hyacinths can also be planted in the open ground with good results. While they do not, as a rule, produce as large flow- ers as those Hyacinths classed on page 9, they are. however, of sufficient size to make a good showing either for bedding or to grow for cut flowers.
VARIETIES AND PRICES
Gertrude Fine pink.
Gigantea Pale pink.
L’Innocence Pure white, large spike.
La Grandesse Pure white, extra large. .
Grand Maitre Bright blue.
Queen of the Blues Porcelain blue, extra fine.
Price of any ol the above named varieties, each, 5c; per dozen, 45c; or $2.7 5 per 100.
GRAPE HYACINTHS
Excellent for naturalizing, planting in borders, etc. Blue, per doz., 15c; per 100, 75c; per 1,000, $5.50. White, per doz., 20c; per 100, $1.00; per 1,000, $7.50.
FRENCH ROMAN OR CHRISTMAS HYACINTHS
Make splendid plants for the window garden, grown in whatever device may be desirable. They should be treated in all respects like the other classes, only that they come into flower much earlier, and should, for first flowers, be brought in by the 15th of November; by so
doing they will give their flowers in perfection by Christmas.
The great beauty of this class of Hyacinths is their profusion of flowers, each bulb giving from three to six spikes, according to the size and strength of bulb. The flowers are smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinths, but more graceful. Their bulbs being small, three can be put in a 5-inch pot. (Not hardy in the North.)

GROWING HYACINTHS IN WATER
A very novel manner of cultivating Hyacinths is to grow them in water. We offer glasses especially made for this purpose, as per illustration opposite. The method of culture is as follows: Fill glass with ordinary
water so that the bottom or root part of bulb is cov- ered, then place in a cool, dark room or closet, leaving there until roots toucji the bottom of glass. Afterward take to the light, when a light paper cone should be placed over the top for about two weeks in order to draw up the spike. It is usually necessary to replenish water weekly and a few small pieces of charcoal placed in the glass will tend to keep water sweetened.
NOTE. — The selected named Single Hyacinths arc most suitable for growing in the above named manner.
Please order early, it will be to your advantage

POLYANTHUS or “NOSEGAY” NARCISSUS
Polyanthus Narcissus are amongst the earliest of flowering bulbous plants for house culture. They are easily grown, extremely decorative and useful for cut flowers as well, lasting a long time after being cut.
Especially does this apply to the “Paper White” varieties. All of the Polyanthus sorts are exceedingly fra- grant and may be grown in water and gravel in the same manner as one would grow the "Chinese Sacred Lily.” See illustration on this page.
By planting a succession of bulbs every ten days blooms can be had from early November until well along in February. (Polyanthus Narcissus are not hardy out of doors north of Washington, D. C.)
GIANT “PAPER WHITE”
NARCISSUS Large Flowering
An improved large-flowering form of the Paper White, possessing all the good qualities of that popular and easily-grown variety and which on account of its larger flowers, is now the principal forcing sort. A very early and profuse bloomer, extremely fragrant and can be had in flower at Christmas time. Does splendidly in water, like the Chinese Sacred Lily.
(See cut opposite.) Each, 5c; 40c per dozen; $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1.000.

DOUBLE ROMAN WHITE Also Known as “Double Sacred Lily”
This is one of the most beautiful and fragrant of all the Narcissus family. Can be grown in the same manner as the Chinese Sacred Lily.
Produces abundantly of double flow- ers: white, shaded beautiful yellow, in large clusters, fragrant and lasting.
Can be easily brought into bloom for Christmas. Each, 4c; per dozen, 35c.

CHINESE SACRED LILY
(Soy Sin Far, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods)
This is the “Narcissus Orientalis,” and the variety grown by Chinamen for decorating their temples or Joss houses on their New Year’s Day, which occurs in Febru- ary. For the most part they are grown in water in fancy bowls, with just enough pebbles around them to keep them from toppling over. (See illustration.) They can also be grown in pots in soil, sand or moss. We annually import from China a large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and if planted on arrival (about October 1st) they will flower by Christmas, and a succession of flowers can be had by making several plantings. The white and yellow flowers 'are borne in clusters and are highly- scented.
Large Bulbs, 10c each; 3 for 25c; 80c per dozen. Orig- inal baskets, containing 30 bulbs, $1.50.

Hardy Garden Lilies
Lilies are most desirable for planting in the herbaceous bor- der, because in this manner they receive the benefit of the shade of surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their welfare. Varieties listed are best planted in the autumn, how- ever, sometimes the bulbs do not arrive from Europe until after ground is frozen, consequently soil should be covered meantime with six inches of leaves or manure, so the bulbs can be planted on arrival.

Flowering and
Ornamental Shrubs
REASONS FOR FALL PLANTING
The season for planting of ornamental and flowering shrubs in the spring is invariably of such short duration that much intended work is necessarily omitted; in the fall there is an abundance of time to plan and plant, and the work can be done then much more satisfactorily. The once prevalent idea that fall planting of hardy shrubs is not advantageous has proved to be erroneous and, with the exception of evergreens, the list of sorts herein mentioned can be planted successfully in the autumn season after the leaves begin to fall. The various state experimental stations, as well as the U. S. Department of Agriculture, recommend fall planting of hardy kinds. Our 1915 GARDEN GUIDE will contain a complete list of shrubs for spring planting. Copy mailed free.

where, and has handsome foliage of tiny, bright green, oval leaves, that turn the most brilliant shades of orange and red in the fall.
