How to Get Your Plants Free
THIS PAGE IS OF INTEREST TO ALL READ IT
THERE are those who do not wish to spare the money or do not feel able to purchase flowers, although they deeply love and enjoy them. And then there are those who take pleas- ure in interesting their friends and neighbors in cultivation of plants, for indeed all communi- ties are the better for a liberal display of flowers. We wish to call the attention of such persons to the fact that while they are working for us, they are at the same time supplying themselves with plants at no outlay of money to themselves, but are practically getting them free.
HOW TO SEND CLUB ORDERS
Keep each person’s order separate, giving his full name, with the amount of the order. Then make your selection to the amount due you, naming plants desired as your discount, signing your name as the GETTER-UP OF THE CLUB.
HOW WE PACK ORDERS
Each person’s plants will be packed separately, with his or her name attached, so you will have nothing to do but deliver the bundle. If the plants are to be sent by mail, and you desire them to be sent direct to the person, we will do so when the order amounts to ONE DOLLAR or more.
Do not include collections or special offers in making up your Club Orders, as premiums apply only to price per single plant or bulb.

EXCEPTIONS
THESE club rates are not allowed on Shade Trees, Magnolias, Hedge Plants, or Plants when priced by the dozen. Nor can I allow any of these to be selected as premiums or discounts. You can readily s^e the reason for this, as I could not make you a special offer and give you a discount besides. Please remember this when ordering, and, if possible, keep the above ex- ceptions separate from that part of your order entitled to Club Rates.

General List of Everblooming Roses
No flower is so universally popular as the Rose, the “Queen of Flowers.” It is every- where wanted and always admired.
The demand for roses is increasing every year, and I feel justified in stating that my col- lection is unsurpassed.
Roses will grow in any ordinary fertile ground, but they are particularly fond of a heavy soil, liberally enriched and well-cultivated. The ground should be well spaded and pulverized to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in a good coat of any well-decayed manure. When the ground is thoroughly prepared, fine and in nice condition, put in the plant slightly deeper than it was before, and cover it with fine earth, taking care to draw it closely around the stems and pack firmly. It is important that the earth he tightly pressed on roots; water immediately after planting, so as to settle the soil, and if hot or windy, it may he well to shade for a few days. The ground should not he allowed to bake or become hard, but should be stirred frequently with hoe and rake so as to keep light and mellow, as well as free it from weeds and grass. The proper time to prune is early in the spring before growth has commenced; no exact time can be given, as that depends on the locality. The Hybrids must be cut back severely. They bloom best on strong, new wood. In pruning the Everblooming Roses all win- ter killed branches should be removed, also the wood which has become exhausted after sev- eral years’ blooming, and younger shoots should be allowed to take their place.
Bride
The plants offered in this list are all well grown and strong, according to varieties. Always remember that some varieties, and often the finer ones, are of dwarf habit. I name only the most popular, vigorous and free blooming Roses, but can suppyl any others.
Strong plants from 2^-inch pots, 10c each; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1,00. Our selection of varieties (many from the new and scarce list), 25 for $1.00. No extras. Strong 2-year plants, 25c each; $2.50 per dozen.

shaded with violet-crimson; large, double and sweet; a splendid rose.

Dear Sir: — I write to say that the 26 roses you sent me last April for $1.00 are all doing nicely. Not one died, and nearly all of them bloomed beautifully throughout the fall. I did not allow them to bloom until firmly rooted. I have bought roses from many houses for the past .thirty years, but have never received finer* plants than yours, and never before had not one to fail out of 26. Shall send another order in a few weeks. I send names of friends whom I hope will order from your house this spring. Yours very truly,

Dear Sir: — The 25 roses I ordered of you for our church yard reached me duly and safely. I
am as well pleased with the varieties as if I had made the selection myself. I had the rosebed
ready for their reception and soon placed them where I wish them to grow.
I have told some of my neighbors about them. One or two told me they are going to send
for the set. I influenced one of my friends to order a set three or four years ago. They proved very satsfactory. I thank you so much for your kindness. Yours with best wishes,

CHRYSANTHEMUMS
How an Amateur May Grow Chrysanthemums
The first important item in growing potted Chrysanthemums is the proper preparation of the soil. One-third manure and two-thirds sod, stacked together and rotted (must be thorough- ly rotted), and run through a coarse sieve is best. To one bushel of this soil a double hand- ful of pure “bone-meal,” one handful of lime and one of wood ashes, and you are ready for potting. Drainage is of utmost importance, for without it the surplus water will sour the soil, the root will decay, and all your labor will have been in vain. About April 15 to May 1 get good, healthy plants from some reliable florist, and repot them at once in 3% or 4-inch pots, and when the pots are filled with roots, repot into 6-inch pots, and from these, when filled with roots, into 9 or 10-inch pots.
In making the final shift, leave iy2 or 2 inches of space at the top of the pot to receive water, and later on, when the buds appear, this space can be filled with manure to act as a stimulant. Immediately after the last potting, plunge the pots in the ground up to the rim, place your pots in rows 2 feet apart by 1 foot, and water only when it is needed. Never allow the soil to become dry enough to wilt the plant. With a soft cord fasten the plant to a small, neat cane-stake plunged deep enough to make steady, and if the branches are inclined to fall over, tie around the plant a cord which will act as a hoop and keep it in shape.
If a bushy plant is desired, when the plant is about 6 inches high, pinch out the top; this will cause other branches to appear, and when these branches are 4 or 5 inches long, pinch the top out, and so on until July 15, when you must give the final pinching. At this season you can be- gin to feed your plants with manure water, made by putting a shovelful of cow manure into a half barrel of water. Give this once a week until the buds begin to form; then you can increase to twice a week. As the buds be- gin to swell, give it three times a week until the buds begin to show color; then give it once
a week and as the buds begin to unfold with- hold ail stimulants. It should be said that soot water is good, given, say, once in two weeks in place of manure water. Now to grow fine flowers on long stems, you must watch the plant, and as soon as the buds are large enough you must remove all as fast as they appear, ex- cept the largest and strongest bud on the end of each branch; also remove all buds that ap- pear at the junction of the leaves, and fine, large flowers will be your reward.
As to the plants grown in the open ground, it is best not to have it too rich; prepare as you would for your vegetable garden. In case you have some plants that have stood over win- ter and which come up in clumps, you must take them up and plant them, only one sprout in a place.
Let me tell you how I grow some of my finest blooms: I prepare the ground as above
stated, and then plant in rows 2 y2 feet apart and 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows, and train plants to one flower each. Place stakes lxl inch thick and 4 feet high, 17 feet apart in the rows, and fasten to these stakes by giving a cord one turn around each stake. Three cords, 12 inches apart will be necessary, the first one 12 inches from the ground. Stretch them from one end of the row to the other, and tie the plants to these cords as fast as they grow up to them. Keep up a high state of cultivation, and water if needed during dry, hot weather. When the buds appear take all off except one to each plant as fast as they appear. At this time give them manure water (same as used for . pot plants) about every ten days until they show color, then leave off the manure water, but don’t allow them to get too dry. Follow this treatment and kindly let me know the re- sult.

NEW, SCARCE AND DESIRABLE CHRYSAN- THEMUMS
Plants in this list 15c each; $1.50 per dozen
Ben Wells — An enormous, drooping Japanese. Color blush white. One of the best for ex- hibitions. Takes early crown.
Chrysolora— This new variety can be briefly de- scribed as an early Col. D. Appleton, coming in 15 days earlier; is of larger size, stronger stem, not quite as tall and in color is inter- mediate between this variety and Major Bon- naffon. Best buds are those selected August 1st to 15th.
Dolly Dimple — Large, well-formed, late, yellow variety; strong grower, with good foliage.
F. T. Q,uittenton — New 1911 Novelty. A deep crimson, every petal of which naturally re- flexes, showing the color to the best advan- tage. This is a particularly strong grower, conforming in all respects to what is latterly considered the Wells-Pockett type, short- jointed, heavy growth and perfect foliage. Does not burn a petal and, on that account alone, will rank well in the list of crimsons. Does not take bud before August 25th, as earlier buds are so crowded with petals that they cannot properly develop.
Golden Glow — Bright yellow, of velvety finish; fine stem and foliage. Flower 5 y2 inches in diameter, elegant in form. The very best early yellow.
Glenview — An enormous incurving globe of dark bronze and clear red. Dwarf grower with stiff stem; easy doer; a magnificent sort for exhibition or for commerce, as the color is very pleasing.
Golden Eagle — Dwarf, easy doer; long, incurv- ing golden petals.
Good Grafcious — A unique shade of peach pink, remarkable in shape. The petals are incurved, overlapping each other.
Howard Gould — 'Florets are long and grooved and the flower builds up into an enormous globe. Inside of the petal bright golden chestnut. Reverse, pure deep gold.
L’Amethyste — Royal purple of the finest shade, and of extraordinary size.
Lady Carmichael — New 1911 Novelty. Pure white Japanese, reflexed with perfect foliage and stem like an iron rod. This variety was really planted too late to be shown at its best. Next year it will unquestionably find its place very near the top of exhibition whites. Buds August.
Lynnwood Hall — Pure white. One of the largest in size; perfectly incurved.
Mile. Jeanne Nonin — Scored 98 and won the silver cup at Chicago. For Thanksgiving and later this has no rival. One of the largest size, perfectly globular, finely finished, an easy doer, a splendid keeper and shipper. This variety is queen of commercial whites.
Mile. Marie Liger — Closely incurving blooms of large size. The color is pearl pink, deepen- ing to a bright pink, shaded at the base of petals. Stems are very stiff, fully covered with handsome foliage.
M. Louisseau-Rosseau — Enormous incurving
pink in two tones of color; foliage grand, stem perfect; no neck. One of the most beau- tiful and imposing of the year.
Miss Clay Frick — White sport from Wm. Duck- ham. Every “ ’mum” grower knows the varie- ty, Wm. Duckham; the sport above named is identical with the parent save in color, which is almost white. This variety won the C. S. A. prize for “best undisseminated variety” at the Chicago show.
Mrs. David Syme — A grand white that is booked to displace all of our other whites on the exhibition table. It carries the foliage right up to the flower stem absolutely perfect, and when taken on the bud about August 15th, produces a flower that is as near perfection in its color as it is possible lo get.
Mrs. George Hunt — Large, soft, yellow Jap. In- curved; petals hooked in, similar to Philadel- phia, and of same color; a dwarf, robust grow- er.
Mrs. Clias. H. Totty — Very large, of a beautiful shade of light pink. Semi-dwarf.

A first-class white com- ing in with Col. D. Appleton; will be a wel- come adjunct to the mid-season section. First- class certificate C. S. A.
Roman Gold — From September buds; a Japan- ese incurved and darker yellow than Golden Wedding or Golden Age. From August bud it produces a large reflexed flower, very suit- able for exhibition tables but not so intense in color. Best bud August 15th.
Ramapo — American seedling of Col. Appleton, which will take the place of that variety. It has all the good points of Appleton, the same color, splendid stem, foliage right up to the flower, and never shows a top-knot as does Appleton. We strongly recommend this va- riety and guarantee it will find a place as a first-class commercial yellow. Any bud after August 20th.
Smith’s Advance — New 1911. Pure white when fully expanded, showing a creamy center when semi-developed. This is the earliest large white variety ever known. Buds selected June 10th were cut July 25th, 534 inches in diameter with excellent stem, foliage and re- markable substance. The later buds for Au- gust and September gave larger and finer blooms.
White Cloud — A large, deep Jap., 8 inches in diameter; white on the edge, cream at the center, finishing almost pure white.
Well’s Late Pink — One of the finest things sent out in many years; flower is extra large, stem and foliage absolutely perfect. Exhibition and commercial growers alike will find this a splendid flower.
Wm. Turner — This variety has created a sensa- tion as exhibited at several shows. Makes a perfect ball of the purest possible white and as such will displace Merza and all others of that character on the exhibition table. Time will prove this variety to become one of our best standard commercial kinds also.

Arborescens Grandiflora — A grand addition to the summer flowering hardy shrubs, dwarfing the show of other sorts by the magnitude and profusion of its flower-heads, and are so con- spicuously white and imposing that whether as single specimens, as cut flowers, or in groupings, their presence is predominant. 25c, 50c and 75c.
It makes a vigorous growth — strong roots making a bushy clump five to seven feet in one season, and blooming profusely from midsum- mer to frost. Being an herbaceous plant it dies to the ground in the fall, shooting from the root again the following spring.
The flowers measure from 6 to 8 inches in diameter, in red, pink and white.
The plant is extremely hardy, having been tested and grown in all parts of the United States and Canada.
It grows naturally in moist ground, but thrives equally as well in any good, rich soil.
Crimson Eye — A remarkably showy and hand- some hardy plant. It is a robust grower. The color is of the purest white with a large spot of deep velvety crimson in the center of each flower. It will succeed anywhere and is per- fectly hardy in all sections of the country. 10c, 25c and 50c.
Southern Beauty — A wonderfully beautiful her- baceous Hibiscus, a remarkable bloomer and so fine as to be generally cultivated by all. It forms pyramidal-shaped branches slightly reclining, clothed with five- cleft leaves, segments toothed and crimson margined, presenting a fine appearance. In open ground it is covered with handsome deep crimson flowers, shaded darker to throat till almost black. When pot grown it begins to

Shade, Ornamental Trees and Hedge Plants
HOW TO PLANT TREES
Preparation of the Roots — Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the sound wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of roots and fibers.
Preparation of the Top — This consists in cutting back the top and side branches in such a way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots, as follows:
Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out and the larger ones, intended for the framework of the trees, cut to within two or three buds of their bases.
In cases where there is abundant root, and small tops or few branches, the pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the tops heavy, severe pruning will be necessary.
These remarks are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Evergreens seldom require pruning, but Arborvitae and other Evergreens planted in hedge- rows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.
Silver-Leaved Maple — A hardy and rapid-growing tree of large size ; valuable for producing quick shade. Excellent for yard or street planting ; does not throw up sprouts from roots. Nice trees, 12 feet high, guaranteed to grow, $1.00 each. Smaller trees, 50c to 75c each. i
Magnolia Grand — Too well known to need description. Spring is the best and safest time for planting. This makes it absolutely safe in transplanting. Price, open ground plants, $1.00 each, 2 and 2% feet high.
Ligustrum Amurense (Amoor River Privet) — The true variety. This far sur- passes any other evergreen privet. It does well in many sections of the North and East. For the South it is far superior to the California Privet, which loses its leaves during winter, whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its bright green foliage. Strong plants, 24 to 30 inches, 10c each; $1.00 per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. A fine lot of small plants, 12 to 15 inches tall, branched, $2.50 per 100.
