Announcement
In issuing this new catalogue for the spring of 1920, I take great pleasure in thanking my many friends for their generous pat- ronage in the past and I hope to merit a continuance of their pat- ronage.
I am always glad to welcome visitors to my gardens who are interested in hardy plants and flowers. My gardens are located on the improved Ridge Road 17 miles from Rochester. Rochester and Sodus Bay car — Stop 60 is directly in front of the premises. It is only about five minutes ’ walk from Fruitland Station on the R. W. & O. R. R.
TO MY PATRONS — I shall be glad at any time to make sug- gestions as to the selection of varieties of plants or shrubs for any given purpose or to assist in making up collections of either stand- ard varieties of plants or of novelties. I shall undertake to secure at reasonable prices any plant or shrub for my patrons, which 1 may not have in my large collection. Information relating to the culture of special plants will be frankly and freely given at any time.
GUARANTEE — If I hope to retain trade, I can send only such stock as is true to name, first-class quality and in good condition when it leaves my place. Since I have no control over stock after it leaves my place, I cannot assume responsibility for failures due to improper planting or neglect after the plants have left my hands. I guarantee safe arrival of all stock sent by express. I also guar- antee all stock true to name, and in a healthy growing condition when it leaves my hands. Any stock which proves otherwise will be gladly replaced or the price therefor refunded. I never substi- tute inferior varieties for those ordered, but should a variety ordered be sold out, I will fill the order with a similar or better variety, correctly labeled, unless instructions to the contrary are given in the order.
The prices quoted in this list are as low as is consistent with the quality of stock we send out. In some cases, our prices will be found lower than prices quoted by others, but in no case will we send out any stock except of the highest quality.
When ordering, please write your name, postoffice, county and state plainly and give your nearest express office address, if it is different from your postoffice address.
It is very important to order early. Our stock of some of the choicest varieties is limited and it is often impossible to secure them late in the season.
Cut Flowers — During the blooming season we can generally supply fancy cut flowers of Iris, Peonies, Gladioli, Dahlias and other hardy plants.
Kindly send me the names of your flower loving friends. I shall be glad to send them copies of my catalogue and will repay you by including extras with your order.
Make all remittances payable to

Gladioli
Gladioli are of very easy culture. The bulbs may be planted as early as the ground can be worked and for a succession of bloom every two weeks up to July. The ground should be dug deeply and the bulbs planted 4 to 6 inches deep. They may be planted in rows 1 foot apart and 5 to 6 inches apart in the rows. A sandy loam soil away from the shade of trees or buildings, suits them best, although they will thrive in any good garden soil.

Dahlias
CULTURE — The Dahlia will grow in any good garden soil. The soil should be worked deep and well prepared. Large quanti- ties of manure should be avoided, as it tends to produce a heavy growth of foliage at the expense of bloom. An application of bone meal or good commercial fertilizer will generally be found sufficient. The roots should be planted 2 y2 feet apart in rows 3 feet apart. They should be laid down flat and covered with four or five inches of soil. They may be planted as soon as frost is over, but in our climate we have found June the best month to plant them out. In ease the plants beeome stunted by hot, dry weather cut them back so that they will produce new wood for the cool months of autumn.
After the plants have been frozen in the fall, dig carefully and store the roots in a dry, cool cellar for winter. In the spring, the roots should be divided, preferably to one eye, before planting.
We list only those varieties which we can recommend and whieh have been selected from our large collection.
CLASSIFICATION OF DAHLIAS
CACTUS DAHLIAS— These are of recent introduction and are becoming very popular. In form they somewhat resemble the Chrysanthemum, the petals are long, narrow, incurved and some- times twisted, giving them a very graceful appearance.
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS are the largest flowering of any type. They have long, broad, flat petals.
SHOW DAHLIAS are the old-fashioned large, round compact and quillled flowered type.
FANCY DAHLIAS are show Dahlias, having the flowers tipped or edged lighter than the ground color.
PEONY FLOWERED DAHLIAS are the newest type, and somewhat resemble the peony in form. The flowers are generally semi-double, exposing golden yellow disc in the center. They are very beautiful and free flowering.
POMPON DAHLIAS are identical in form with show dahlias but are small.
SINGLE DAHLIAS have a single row of petals surrounding a golden yellow center. They are very graceful and free flowering.
COLLARETTE DAHLIAS are single Dahlias having a row of petals inside of the outside row.

Hardy Roses
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS — Roses prefer what is termed a deep clay loam soil. It should be well drained and away from the shade of trees and buildings. The soil should be deeply and thor- oughly prepared and liberal applications of well rotted manure ap- plied. The plants may be set eighteen inches apart in rows two feet apart. When planting budded bushes, the union of the bud and stock should come at least two inches below the surface of the soil. They should be planted as early in the spring as the soil is dry enough to work. After planting the shoots should be reduced to two or three and these cut back to at lea's! four inches from the ground.
The stock we send out is 2-year-old, field grown. It is Ameri- can grown and thoroughly acclimated to our soil and climate. Our stock of roses is first-class in every particular and should give a full crop of blooms two months after planting.
Hybrid Perpetual Roses
These are strong growing and generally hardy without protec- tion. They produce a very abundant crop of large flowers in June and more or less continuously all summer.
Strong, 2-year-old, field grown plants, except where noted, 60 cents each, $6.50 per doz., six at dozen rates. Roses are sent by express, charges collect.

Peonies
CULTURE — Peonies should be planted from the beginning of September until the ground freezes. We begin digging early in September and can ship any time until the ground freezes. They prefer a heavy loam soil although any good garden soil will give good results. It should be well drained and away from the shade of trees or buildings. The soil should be worked deep. Manure should either be incorporated in the soil some time before the roots are planted or used as a mulch during winter and worked into the soil in the spring. It should not be allowed to come in contact with the roots at any time. The roots should be planted with the eyes two or three inches below the surface of the soil. They are hardy and free from insect attacks. Early planting is to be recom- mended at it gives the plants a chance to get established before the ground freezes. Orders may be booked at any time for fall delivery. As the stock of some of the new and rare varieties is limited, early orders are advisable.
So far <as possible we send strong one-year old plants; when this is impossible, we send divisions with three to five strong eyes which generally bloom the first year. Peonies do not come to their best until the third or fourth year and some varieties do not bloom until the second or third year after planting. We grow our own roots and guarantee them true to name.
