To Our Friends

We have endeavored to make our 1 923 Catalogue a complete reference for every- thing worth-while pertaining to practical and ornamental gardening. With the idea of making our catalogue complete in every detail we have not only listed and described flowers and vegetables of merit, but have included, garden tools, mowers, spray materials, insecticides, bed- ding and nursery stock, and we hope you will retain it as a handy garden guide. We have made every effort to eliminate many varieties that in our judgment have not proven satisfactory for Long Island.

It is our constant endeavor to main- tain at all times a thoroughly complete stock of quality merchandise at moder- ately consistent prices. No stone is left unturned in our determined effort to es- tablish a Garden House that will merit the confidence our many patrons have placed in us.

Efficient service is of primary impor- tance with us and we make special effort to provide the needs of our customers with a minimum of delay or inconvenience. Orders whether received by mail, verbally or otherwise will receive prompt and care- ful attention and will be executed accord- ingly.

We earnestly request our patrons to consult us with regard to any problems pertaining to gardening in all its phases and we will courteously assist with help- ful suggestions, planting information, color scheming, soil preparation, etc., for their benefit.

As weather conditions and other factors over which we have no control, influence the growth and life of all vegetation, we make no guarantee for the life of seeds. We do, however, guarantee to supply the very best quality seed pro- curable and with diligent care and proper culture, satisfactory results are assured.

Very truly yours,

THE GARDEN HOUSE,

W. C. McCollom.

Lima Bean, Early Giant Bush

A quick-growing variety. The short period in which this Bean matures enables it to be grown for succession, sowings being made from May 1 5 to July I 0 in the neighborhood of New York. Other varieties of Lima Beans take so long to mature that more than one seeding is barely practical with them. The flavor of this variety is particularly refined, and the fine, luscious Beans, which are large, thick, and flat are produced in remarkable quantity. Pkt. 15 cts.,

35 cts., lb. 60 cts., 2 lbs. $1.15, 5 lbs. $2.85, 15 lbs. $8.45.

Spinach, S. & W. Co/s Emerald Standing

A very large and vigorous type of compact, flat, spreading growth. The leaves are large, thick, slightly crumpled, very fleshy, and carried on long stems. The color is a very dark green. The most important point about this Spinach, however, is that it stands fully one month longer than any other variety before bolting to seed. In spite of this, it is quite early to mature, and it is ready for cutting most as soon as Bloomsdale, We predict a heavy demand for Emerald Standing by truckers, market gardeners, private gardeners, and amateurs. Seed is obtainable only in limited quantity. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 25 cts., M-lb. 80c., lb. $2.50.

THE GARDEN HOUSE

New Corn, De Lue’s Golden Giant

One of the parents of this fine variety is Golden Bantam, but Golden Giant more than retains the sweet- ness of its ancestor. It is quite as early, averages more ears to the stalk, and the ear has three times the bulk and weight, averaging 8 inches in length. Golden Giant has a 1 2- to 20-rowed ear against the 8-rowed ear of Bantam. The plant has the same medium-dwarf habit of Bantam, and, on account of its heavy yield, it is the one Corn for the gardener who looks for the largest production of the best quality Corn on the smallest area of ground. Pkt. 15 cts., H-lb. 35 cts., lb. 60 cts., 2 lbs. $1.15, 5 lbs. $2.85, 15 lbs. $8.45.

Aster, American Beauty

Similar in type and growth to our well-known late branching Asters, but differs in that all the large blossoms are produced on longer and heavier stems. Some of the individual stems measure more than 2 feet in length. It makes an unusually heavy growth and is one of the latest flowering Asters we know of. We can supply in the following four colors: Peach Blossom, Light Blue, Rose, Purple. Each, pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.

New Double Cosmos

Some years ago, when we first offered in our Novelties and Specialties this splendid new form of Cosmos of Australian origin, we considered it a notable addition to this beautiful family of easily-grown an- nuals for cutting. We are pleased to announce, how- ever, that, due to painstaking effort on the part of an American grower, this strain has been further im- proved upon, in size of flower, greater degree of doubleness, and general vigor of the plant. Many of the flowers are entirely double, while others have an attractive collar which rather adds, we think, to its beauty. Double Mixed, Pink, White and Crimson. Each, pkt. 20 cts., 6 pkts. $1.

New Zinnias

New Double Dahlia-flowered

We are pleased to say that we have been able to secure this Zinnia in separate colors this year. The plants are of the same vigorous habit as our Giant Double-flowering varieties. They attain the height of 3 feet, producing mammoth flowers averaging 6 inches across by 3 to 4 inches in depth, similar in shape to the decorative dahlia. We consider them a fitting companion to our strain of Giant Double-flowering Zinnias. Mixed, Red, Yellow, Pink and Buff. Each, pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.

THE GARDEN HOUSE

Lathyrus (Sweet Pea)

The only important point to consider in cultivating Sweet Peas is to have good rich soil and sow the seed

very early. March seeding is the best, because of

the improbability of most amateurs starting that early, we have started in our greenhouse Sweet Peas in pots that can be set out May 1 st and will do as well and even better than early outside sowings. Plants ready April 15th, 15c each, $1.50 per doz. Pots contain 3

plants each and they should be planted about 1 foot

apart.

The Spencer Sweet Peas are the best type to grow, the stems are longer, the flowers better developed, and in fact the entire growth is preferable to the old small flowering type. We therefore omit listing the older varieties. All the following varieties are the improved Spencer type.
