Delphiniums may net be the most beautiful hardy plants, but they are among the most beautiful, and nothing can be more satisfactory. Some varieties growing 8 feet high in rich soil. They have immense spikes of most beautiful flowers of every imaginable shade of blue, and their season is long, in fact, they will bloom from spring till fall. The culture of Delphiniums is exceedingly simple. They thrive in almost any position, and may be planted at any time of the year, provided that in summer the plants are not too forward, and that they be well watered if the weather be dry. The soil may be a rich, friable loam, which suits them finely; but any soil, even hot and sandy, if well watered and manured will give excellent results. Placed in lines, as a background to a border, or in groups of, say, three plants at intervals, the effect of the Delphinium is exceedingly fine. They are grand grown in masses of large groups and may be associated with shrubs to great advantage. A succession of flowers may be expected from spring to early autumn, especially if the spikes which have done flowering early be cut down to the ground; fresh growth will then be produced which will give blossom. Watering in summer will increase size of spike and flower. Top-dressing is greatly recommended on certain soils, instead of the bare surface of the ground being left exposed to the sun. Some of the neater dwarf alpine and other hardy plants my be utilized to plant between and around Delphiniums. Coal ashes strewn over the crowns will protect the plants from slugs through winter and spring. Any garden soil suits the Delphiniums. Special Offer of English Delphiniums Per Doz.

Though such an ornamental addition to the herbaceous border, the perennial Gaillardia is content with extremely simply treat- ment. Dig the soil deeply and enrich with well-rotted manure. We recommend the Gaillardia for bedding purposes as well as for borders. Every one will have noticed how grandly Gaillardias have thriven through the recent draught; they seem hardly to need water, but we recommend watering liberally to insure the finest flowers. The gay blossoms are obtainable in perpetual profusion from June to November, and the greater the draught and scarcity of other flowers the more the utility of the perennial Gaillardia is demonstrated. No more brilliant and beautiful sight can be imagined than a large bed of Gaillardias, with their .profusion of highly colored flowers of all shades. Some of the varieties of our improved strain measure fully 5 inches in diameter. In named varieties In mixed colors . . Per Doz.

We suppose the reason for this is that artists have a keener appreciation of beauty than other people, and recog- nize that the common, single Hollyhock, is one of the most stately, pic- turesque and beautiful plants in the world. Nothing can be more effec- tive than a large group or mass of single Hollyhocks, and once planted they will literally take care of themselves, even if planted in the grass. We know of patches that have not been cultivated or disturbed in any way for twenty years. We are determined to have single Hollyhocks. We collected seed from old-fashioned gardens and had thousands of plants grown for our customers. Some people think double Hollyhocks are more beautiful than single. They are mistaken, although the doubles are beautiful, but inclined to be top-heavy. Hollyhocks planted in the fall will bloom the following summer. Per Doz.

Not particular as to soil or location, but asking only that the sun shine on it, it throws up spikes of bloom that are marvelous in their delicacy of structure and the colorings which are exquisitely dainty are wonderful in their blendings and variety. They are very effective planted in groups and if used for borders are particularly desirable in that the foliage remains fresh and upright after the blossom stalks are removed. Planted in late August or early September they flower very freely the first season. For use as cut flowers they are rapidly gaining in popularity with Florists. Per Doz.

Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, col- lected the original bulbs in North-Western China. He considers this the finest of all Lillies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has been predicted that this will become the Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-yellow at the center, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, and lacking the heavy, oppres- sive odor of most Lilies. Blooms out-or-doors early in July.

In color they range from pure white to the richest crimsons and purple, and from soft rose and salmon to bright coral-red, all having a delicate fragrance. Perennial Phloxes succeed in almost any soil enriched with manure, but are much benefited by a mulching of decomposed manure in spring, and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water. If the first spikes of bloom are removed as soon as over, they will produce a second supply of flowers, continuing the display until late in autumn. These later blooms are often finer than the first.

They are perfectly hardy and absolutely invaluable for cut flowers through the summer and au- tumn months. The flowers are bright and elegantly borne on long stems; most convenient for decoration. In form the double varieties are some- what aster- or chrysanthemum-like, and as their chief beauty is in the months of May and June, they may well be designated Spring Chrysan- themums, possessing the advantage over the Chrysanthemums of being able to withstand the severest winter without protection. The single- flowered varieties are variable colored marguerites and possess a range of color and hardiness that marguerites might envy in vain. Nothing can surpass the Pyrethrum for profusion of flowers, and the blossoms are not injured by storm or sun. Their position should be in the border or in beds. The plants may, with advantage, be cut down after June, which will keep up a greater succession of bloom through the autumn. Pyre- thrums grow freely in any ordinary garden soil; a good rich loam suits them, perhaps, best and in order to secure size, brilliancy and number of flowers, plenty of ordinary well-rotted manure may be added to well- trenched, well-drained soil, and plenty of water may be given when they are in bud in the dry summer weather. A mulching may be applied in dry localities with advantage. The older varieties have been greatly im- proved upon during the past ten years, and the refined shape and brilliant or soft shades of the newer sorts have caused the Pyrethrum to become deservedly popular. We offer a splendid lot of plants of the choicest varieties grown from famous strains. Per Doz. Per 100 All Colors Mixed 2.50 17.00 Uliginosum 2.00 15.00 PLATYCODON Grandiflora.

For cutting purposes, the bulbs may be planted in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, setting the bulbs 3 to 4 inches apart and planting to a depth of 6 inches. The flowering spike should be cut just as soon as the lower flowers open; the remaining buds will open if kept in fresh water and the open flowers removed as they fade. A little of the stem should be removed when the water is being changed. Treated thus, a spike will last over a week. For garden planting, they perhaps appear to best advantage in groups or masses and are best used in conjunction with some annual or bedding subject where they can be timed to flower in late summer when garden color is most desired. Groups can also be used effectively in the perennial border. A more continuous effect can be had by mak- ing successive plantings, beginning as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring and planting at intervals until June. The bulbs, which increase from year to year, can be carried over winter in a cellar that; is kept above a freezing temperature, much as potatoes are stored. Per Doz. Per IOO America.

All the stock offered is grown on our own nursery and we know it to be true to name, clean and healthy. We must earnestly ask our customers to mail their orders as early as they can, because careful investigation of the nursery business shows that there is a tremendous shortage of good shrubs, plants and bulbs. Place your orders in the fall and have stock delivered the following spring, if you cannot plant it at once. ALTHAEA Each The Altheas (Rose of Sharon) bloom in August and September, showing many rich shades of all colors. They are very hardy, easily cultivated, and will bloom until their growth is cut short by frost. Grown in standard form, they make good specimens, 8 to 10 feet high, resembling small flowering trees; planted thickly, they are popular for flowering he.dges, as they will endure considerable pruning.

The answer de- pends upon what is to be planted, and the time the question is asked. If asked in the summer, then fall is the best time to plant all shrubs, and herba- ceous plants of unquestioned hardiness, further- more, the fall is a time of leisure and the weather is more favorable and the soil is usually in better condition to work than it is in spring, wet and cold as it usually is. It must be remembered, however, if the best results are wanted with herbaceous plants, they should be planted early enough in the fall to become established before freezing weather sets in, otherwise they are apt to be thrown out of the ground by frost. This can be prevented by a mulcing of stable manure. As far as possible, we would advise the planting of hardy plants, early in October. Peonies and Iris especially give better results when planted in the fall; shrubs may be planted from the 15th of October until the ground freezes. When anything is ordered that should not be planted until spring, we do not ship until then. THE WAYSIDE GARDENS CO. Mentor, Ohio
