Two ROSE OFFERS -

Exciting to Rose Enthusiasts!

Our rose bushes must pass rigid tests and meet severe standards to claim the right to be “Collins two-year field- grown No. 1 plants.” Among the hundreds of thousands we raise obviously not all can qualify. (We wish to make this very clear and to put it another way — All Col¬ lins Roses offered earlier in this book and Collins Climb¬ ing Roses rate “100,” while the bushes listed on this page rate approximately “90,” owing to number of limbs, height of bush, length of roots and general appear¬ ance.)

Each $1.10 ; SPECIAL. One each of above 5 varieties, $4.30; tzco of each (10 in all), $8.30, postpaid.

We list the roses described above in answer to repeated requests for certain much de¬ sired varieties at the lowest possible price. The differ¬ ence is in size, not quality, and we have no doubt that the profusion and perfection of bloom will be entirely pleasing to you.

Collins Reconditioned Florists’ Roses

Frequently our customers have ex¬ pressed a desire to secure varieties of roses like those they have seen at flow¬ er shows and in florists’ windows.

These varieties are generally better suited to growing in greenhouses, but we have found that by putting the bushes through a scientific recondition¬ ing process, which we have developed, they give surprising results. Often they start blooming in the garden within three or four weeks after plant¬ ing and bloom abundantly the first year until frost, and if protected like field-grown roses will ' survive many winters. We have been able to secure some of the choicest and newest varieties. They all bear their flowers on long stems and quite continuously. The blooms are magnificently formed and, without exception, very fragrant.

Reconditioning is completed sooner with some vari¬ eties than with others. Customers may indicate their choice, however, and as far as possible we will follow it. If it is desired that order be held until all varieties mentioned are ready, please indicate this plainly on the order. In selecting varieties to fill orders we will cover the color range as completely as possible.

Any 4 bushes, $i.oo (minimum order) ; 8 bushes,

$1.75; 12 bushes, $2.50. (If desired by parcel post add 3c per plant for postage and special packing.)

Measured alone by their gracefully formed flowers, we feel these bushes would have a place in any garden, for which our reconditioning makes them wholly desirable.

Brief Planting Directions for Roses

Dig hole 1^ times as large as spread of roots; don’t cramp them. As each bush is planted fill earth to 2/3 of depth, then add water plentifully, or pack earth firmly above roots to drive out air-holes, being careful not to skin bark. Then fill remainder of hole with loose earth. Don’t pack. Leave ground slightly lower around each bush. We have compiled a com¬ plete set of Rose Cultural Instructions, copy of which will be sent with every rose order.

The Japanese Flowering Cherries

For those who have journeyed to Washington, D. C., to see the Japanese Flowering Cherries in bloom along the bank in Potomac Park we need only to mention the picture of blossoming trees, blue skies, the bud-green of a Southern spring, and the exquisite reflections in the water to bring back those memories to you.

For those who have never made the trip to see the Cherry Blossoms there is a curiosity and eagerness to know more about them.

GUARANTEED TO GROW

We confine our Dahlia offerings to those few with out¬ standing merit — in color, size, unusual shape, and particu¬ larly with regard to the keeping qualities of the tubers over winter. Our policy in thus limiting our varieties and offering them to you in groups has resulted in many let¬ ters of praise over the magnificent blooms from these collections.

The new dahlias listed this year are exceptional crea¬ tions. In addition, you will find the outstanding varieties which have stood the test of time. All have been thor¬ oughly proven and are recommended as the best of their color and kind obtainable.

We supply you with dormant, field-grown roots or generous divisions of fully matured, field-grown clusters; strong, healthy, plump, well-developed and full of vitality. And, as an added protection to you, we guarantee every tuber to grow, and will replace FREE, on proper proof, any that fail to sprout.

Collins Gladiolus for 1930

*'The Cream of the World’s Best Glads” (postpaid for prices named)

In making up our Gladiolus Offerings for 1930 we have studied all new improvements and developments care¬ fully and you will find that quality of bloom has guided us rather than quantity of listings. The va¬ riety of Gladiolus that you would not buy if you saw it in bloom will not be found in this catalog. We have always included those varieties worth the money — and worth growing — and our customers have signified their approval by the large number of their repeat orders.

This year we have added the finest of the newest Gladiolus in existence. You will also find many old favorites. The bulbs are strong, healthy, free from disease, fully matured and properly cured. Growers tell us they have never seen healthier bulbs.

NOTE: To new customers we state that we do NOT substitute bulbs or sell undersized ones. We guarantee to protect you on these points. Our bulbs are all No. 1 grade, strictly first class, 100 per cent true to name. As to size, gladiolus bulbs are more nearly oval than circular in cross-section, and the usual practice of stating the larger diameter is therefore all too likely to be mis¬ leading. For clarity, we are stating sizes wherever men¬ tioned in terms of circumference — where not stated the circumference will average 2^ to inches (usually classed 1 to 2 inch bulbs, or larger).
