Herbaceous Perennials, Rockery Plants, and Nursery Stock
THE present wide-spread popularity of the Hardy Herba- ceous Perennials is due to the fact that when planted in the open garden they will survive our severest winters for an indefinite number of years, dying down to the root each year and producing new growth and flowers the following season. The Phloxes, Larkspurs, and Peonies are typical of this class of plants. There are many hundreds of varieties of Hardy Perennials in cultivation at the present time, all of which can be used in the garden to produce beautiful naturalistic effects which otherwise cannot be obtained.
With the enormous number of varieties now existing (varying as they do in habit of growth, shape of foliage, height of growth, color and time of blooming) it is easily possible by using these plants freely to have a beautiful display of bloom in the garden from the end of April until November, and to have flowers in profusion to cut for house decoration at all times.
Tire best way to use Hardy Herbaceous Perennials is in the herbaceous border. This border can be located in almost any position in the garden, for no matter if it is in sun or shade, dry or wet, from the multitude of Perennials, varieties can be se- lected that will succeed in any situation or soil.
Rockery Plants
We have a large collection of Rockery Plants; these are marked with an asterisk (*). Many of these plants are suitable for the front of the perennial border, others again are of too slender growth for such a position, and they are all seen at their best on the rockery.
The large number of varieties that we catalogue include only those that we know will succeed in this climate. Our Rockery Plants are grown in pots outdoors so that they can be shipped with safety at any time.
A small hill or terrace can easily be converted into a charming
rockery, and even on perfectly flat ground, by careful arrange- ment, good effects can be obtained.
Hard, round boulders are not suitable, and where other rocks are not found at hand, we advise using our Tufa Rock. This is of beautiful natural formation and we carry it in stock at all times.
Fall plantings of perennials must be protected with a covering of straw, hay, leaves, or similar material to prevent the plants being lifted by alternate thawing and freezing. It is advisable to wait until the ground is slightly frozen before covering, but care must be taken to see that the plants are not loosened before they are covered. This covering must be removed early in the spring, as soon as frost is out of the ground.
Our 100 rate, which applies when 25 or more of one variety are ordered, is extremely liberal, and, where possible, advantage should be taken of this.
Our 10 rate applies when 5 or more of one variety are ordered.
Nursery Stock
As a new feature of our catalogue, we have included a list of Shrubs and Evergreens for spring planting. In this section will be found several special collections of small varieties that make it possible to have an abundance of Evergreens at a reasonable outlay. A State and Federal Entomologists’ Inspection Certi- ficate will accompany each shipment.
Shipments are made from Rutherford or our branch nursery at Wyckoff, N. J.
Seeds
We have discontinued offering Flower Seeds as it is our desire to sell only stock that is grown in our own Nurseries.

Hardy Asters
(Starwort; Michaelmas Daisies)
One of the most beautiful flowers native to North America is the Aster. These wild species have been largely used in Europe for hybridizing and the resulting varieties are a great improvement on the roadside and swamp Starworts so common in this country. They must not be confused with the annual or China Aster from which they differ in every respect.
Their great variety of colors, size of flowers, height, lateness of flowering, and extreme hardiness, make the Starworts most desirable for garden decoration. They can be used with equal effect in herba- ceous borders, shrubberies and in woodland plantings.
Climax. One of the best Starworts. The flowers are 2 inches in diameter and are of an exquisite shade of lavender-blue with full golden yellow centers. 5 to 6 feet. September, October.

Hardy Chrysanthemums
The inclusion of Hardy Chrysanthemums in your plantings makes it possible to have the garden bright with bloom after the majority of hardy herbaceous flowers are past. The varieties offered below have been carefully selected and will give a flowering period of two months, from the middle of September until the middle of November.
To get the best results from Hardy Chrysanthemums, they should be planted in a sheltered position, preferably near a wall of the house or where they get the protection of shrubs or evergreens. In such positions they will be found to be quite hardy, but will need covering with straw or leaves after the ground is frozen to prevent their being loosened by alternate thawing and freezing.

A striking mass of Tall English Delphiniums
Delphinium (Larkspur)
No garden or herbaceous border is complete without Larkspurs.
Their tall, stately spikes of bloom, in all shades of blue, add a color tone to the garden which no other plant can give. In the last few years, many beautiful strains of the tall Hybrid Delphiniums have been developed, and we have found that these hybrids have a vitality and a resistance to disease which the choice named kinds do not possess.
To get the best results. Delphiniums need a deep rich soil and plenty of water during early summer when they are making their growth. The hybrids flower in June, and if they are cut down before they seed, will produce flowers again in early fall. The other va- rieties listed are of dwarfer habit than the hybrids but although they do not produce such tall spikes of bloom, they are indispensable in the border on account of their color and freedom of blooming, and as a cut-flower they are probably superior.
Collection: One each of above
Belladonna. Sky-blue flowers, freely borne on numerous branch- ing stems. 2)/i feet. June to October.
Bellamosum. A free-flowering hybrid with the dwarf habit of Belladonna; dark blue flowers. 3 feet. June to October.

By planting these Tall English Hybrids freely you can obtain an effect in the garden equal to that given by the expensive named Delphiniums. They flower freely from June to October in all imaginable shades of blue. 5 to 7 feet.

Hardy Heather
Aside from its beauty, Heather is especially desirable because of its easy cultivation. It will thrive in any good soil, though it prefers one of peaty nature, and it likes, too, a semi-shady location. May be planted with excellent effect, either in beds by itself, with rhodo- dendrons, or in front of a shrubbery border. During dry weather it will benefit by watering, and a slight covering of hay or litter is advisable for protection against the sudden changes of winter.

Planting of German Iris
German Irises
Of all the beautiful flowers the spring brings us, none are more charming, either in the garden or for cutting, than German Irises. Their range of color is probably not exceeded by any other family of plants, and they are perfectly hardy, growing in most any con- ceivable position. They succeed particularly well in full exposure to the sun and in soil that is not too rich. As they grow rapidly, the clumps should be lifted and divided every three or four years. In planting allow one foot each way between the plants. Irises can be transplanted any time during the spring or fall.
This year we have changed the arrangement of our list so that you can select Irises for any particular color at a glance as they are divided carefully into color groups.
In the following descriptions, S. denotes the erect petals, or standards; F. denotes the lower petals, or falls.

Lililim (Hardy Lilies)
The herbaceous border is not complete without Lilies. The Madonna Lily with its pure white flowers in June makes a charming effect in combination with the tall larkspurs. All the varieties listed here will do well in the border and should be planted in groups of three, five or more. They can also be used in rhododendron and shrubbery plantings, as all Lilies appreciate a cool, shaded soil. In planting, cover the bulbs to about three times their depth with soil.
This list of Lilies will present no difficulty in cultivation in ordinary soil. It would be well, however, to mulch them with barn- yard manure in the fall, after the ground is frozen thoroughly.
f Lilium auratum, L. speciosum album, L. speciosum rubrum, and L. umbellatum are imported from Japan and often arrive very late in the fall. Where these varieties are ordered for fall delivery, we advise our customers to protect the ground where they are to go, so they can be planted after frost has set in. We will not send the above varieties out after the ground is frozen unless we are advised to do so, but will hold them over for early spring delivery. All other varieties, except these mentioned above, we grow in pots for late orders and they can be planted with safety at any time of the year when the ground is open.
Plants priced at 35 cts. each are $3 for 10;
Plants of any of the above, 25 cts. each; $2 for 10; $18 per 100, unless otherwise noted.

Phlox decussata
Their beauty gives the Phloxes a place of first importance among perennials, and their decorative effects make them a necessity in the herbaceous border. Phloxes will thrive almost anywhere if the soil is deep and well manured. They must, however, have plenty of water during their season of growth. Beginning to flower in early July, they will continue to bloom until October if the flower-spikes are removed immediately after blooming.

DAHLIAS
Dahlias
A Truly Remarkable
Pink Dahlia
The One You Have Been Hearing So Much About
HIS magnificent clear pink Dahlia is called Jersey’s Beauty.
It is conceded to be one of the best varieties in existence. Experts contend it is probably as near the ideal in its class as is possible to attain.
In color it is a good clear pink, with no lavender or magenta shade.
The varieties of Dahlias we offer here are all reliable representa- tives of the three most important classes, Cactus, Decorative and Peony-flowered. We sell them only in dormant tubers.
The time to plant Dahlias is from about May 15 to June 15. They can be grown in beds or borders by themselves or can be planted in the background of the herbaceous border.
Aviateur Garros. Cactus. An exceptionally early and free-flowering variety, with pretty light sulphur-yellow blooms, shading to almost white at the tips of the broad pointed petals. 50 cts. each.
Azalea. Decorative. The flowers are of true decorative form, of good size, and of a creamy yellow more or less suffused or tinged with pink. 75 cts. each.
Chieftain. Decorative. A large well-formed flower of a rich crimson- carmine with golden suffusion; occasionally flowers will appear that are heavily streaked and splashed with canary-yellow. 50 cts. each.
It retains all its wondrous color values in artificial light — a point you will much appreciate.
It grows 6 to 8 feet high and each plant will carry 5 or 6 perfect blooms at one time, all with a good strong stem.
It has unusual keeping qualities and was exhibited at one of the leading shows last year, cut with stems 6 feet long.
No other Dahlia known will last any time in water with this length of stem.
Jersey’s Beauty, however, was in such good condition after three days that it was used again at a second show.
Jersey’s Beauty is available in tubers from March 1 until the end of June. Green plants are ready at the same time as Chry- santhemums— early in May until the end of June.
PRICES: Tubers, $1 each, $8 for 10, $70 per 100. Green Plants, 60 cts. each, $4.50 for 10, $40 per 100

How cozy, snug, and comfortable a house looks nestled behind tall evergreens! The winter wind, diverted by their sheltering boughs, roars on to trouble unprotected houses whose occupants look out upon no prospect of soft green branches, warm beneath their load of snow. What graceful forms and lines the evergreens assume with age! What majestic size and stately aspect! What gleams and shades of ever- varying color play upon their mass and tone into every landscape! No home is quite complete without their charm. No property exists whose value is not en- hanced by them. Sooner or later every- one longs for them. Well-grown plants of fair size are not cheap, but they can be produced cheaply in your own garden.
In order to encourage a wider use of evergreens, we offer here a collection of small evergreen seedlings suitable for growing on.
Our little evergreens represent only the original cost; you pay for no expensive labor. This labor you can do yourself in odd moments, saving much money.
To set out 50 fair-sized nursery-grown trees 2 to 3 feet high will cost $100 to $150 for the plants plus the labor of transporting and planting. Of this outlay, the greatest part is for labor. The original cost is small, but the several years’ expert attention given by skilled workers in the nursery is expensive.
The care which you must give them after planting consists chiefly in keeping them hoed and well watered; a few minutes’ at- tention once a week in their early stages is all that is needed; and a little protection for the first winter or two until they are well-estab- lished in the soil. Nothing is more interesting to grow, and nothing grows into real money faster than small evergreens.
Scotch Pine The type of small
Japanese Red Pine ( Pinus densiflora). A very rapid grower with bright bluish green foliage. 2-yr., 5 to 7-in., $1 for 10, $8 per 100.

Cultural Directions
AS SOON as the evergreens are received, open the package and separate the plants. Heel-in imme- L diately in the shade, and water thoroughly. Plant out in 1-foot rows; the plants can be set 8 inches apart. Ordinary good garden soil will grow these plants to per- fection and should be prepared to a depth of about 1 foot. Plant firmly and water frequently until they are established. They should be cultivated regularly. In two years the plants are ready for transplanting to any part of your garden.

American Arborvitae
The American Arborvitae is one of our best native eastern evergreens and does well throughout the Eastern States. It is found growing wild as far north as Canada and as far south as North Carolina. Naturally of pyrami- dal growth, it is bright green in color, exudes a rich aro- matic odor, and can be planted near the house or for foundation work, as it can be sheared and kept within bounds. If it is sheared, this should be done in April or May. As a hedge plant it should be planted about 3 feet apart and sheared when necessary.
Plants are packed in moss, without soil, to insure safe arrival. Cultural directions are sent with each shipment.

Scotch Pine
Special Offer
20 Scotch Pine, $5.25; 100 Scotch Pine, $24 (as illustrated)
The Scotch Pine is like the proverbial Scotchman. It is a thrifty grower and does well in almost any soil. Forest plantings are usually made on unproductive lands, and Scotch Pines have been found to do well on these lands, except in low lands. For the home grounds it has been found very suitable for single specimens on the lawn or for planting out unsightly buildings. It grows very fast and can be sheared, if necessary, provided the shearing is done when the new growth is about 3 to 4 inches long.
This attractive offer is made possible because we have had them grown in especially large quantities, thus lessening the cost, and we pass this cheaper rate on to you. The illustration shows the quality of the plants we are supplying. Remember, these prices are for the plants delivered free to any home east of the Mis- sissippi.
