Six million Daffodil blooms at our Mile-Front Daffodil Farm at Islip, L. I.
From Grower to Planter
We are very glad to report at this writing that the Daffodils grown at our Mile-Front Daffodil Farm at Islip, Long Island, have continued to do well with us, and at the present time the crop indicates a great improvement over the crops of previous seasons.
Many of the finest exhibition Daffodil blooms at the International Flower Show, held at the Grand Central Palace every year in March, weie produced from bulbs grown on Long Island. It is agreed by many Daffodil experts that no better flowers, as far as length of stem and size of bloom is concerned, were exhibited at any New York Show than those which have been shown this past year.
The bulbs offered in this Catalogue are grown in America, Bermuda, France, Japan, and Holland, but principally in Holland. The reports of crop conditions from these countries generally are more favorable
than they were when we issued our Advance Bulb Catalogue on May I, and while our Government has increased the tariff very materially on Tulips, Lilies and Crocuses, we are able, owing to these favorable crop reports and to our advance contracts placed with reliable growers, to not greatly increase the prices in this Catalogue over our Advance Bulb Catalogue. Advances in price have been made on a percentage of the Tulips offered. These higher prices have been largely due to the increased tariff.
In presenting this Catalogue to our readers, we do so with the con¬ fidence which has come to us after a very extensive experience during the past 33 years in growing as well as in learning the best sources of supply for what we term High Quality Bulbs only.
TIME OF DELIVERY
Bulbs and roots mature and ripen during the late summer and autumn and shipments will be made as follows in the absence of instructions to the contrary:
SEPTEMBER includes Lilium Harrisii, L. formosum, L. can- didum, Freesias, Paper-White and Grand Soleil d’Or Narcissi, and Bulbous Irises.
NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER include Liliums and Lilies-of-the- Valley. We endeavor to get all of these shipped by early December. We, however, frequently do not receive the three varieties of Japanese Lilies, as listed on pages 31 and 32, namely, au- ratum, speciosum magnifieum, and album, from the Orient until the ground has become frozen in some parts of the country. These may be kept in a cool cellar and planted in the spring, or, if you so advise, we can ship these three items in the spring.
OCTOBER OR MAIN SHIPMENT, includes the general line of bulbs, such as Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocuses, Callas, and Miscella¬ neous Bulbs.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS
We ask for full shipping directions. State whether bulbs are to be shipped by parcel post or express, and by what route. In the absence of instructions we ship by whatever method and route we believe best.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
We do not send bulbs C. O. D. unless instructed by you, but ship your order when bulbs arrive, mailing invoices at the same time, and all bills are due in 30 days, net.

GUARANTEES
Our methods of handling bulbs practically preclude the possibility of stock proving unsatisfactory, and the percentage of complaints is really negligible. We guarantee all bulbs sent out to be true to name and of proper flowering age. It is, however, impracticable owing to contingencies of soil, climate, season, or faulty planting, to guarantee that all bulbs we send out will flower satisfactorily. We make complete trials of all the varieties we send out at our own trial- grounds and know, from extended experience, that all our bulbs flower satisfactorily if given just ordinary attention.

GIANT DARWIN TULIPS, May-Flowering
For the herbaceous border, massed in clumps along the edge of shrubbery, or as cut-flowers for vases, these are conceded to be the superior of all the Tulips
The enthusiasm for the Darwin Tulip is not due to fad or popular fancy, but rather to an awakened sense of appreciation of its majestic beauty. The rich, bright colors of the blooms, their somber tones, their many pale and more lovely colors, produced on strong, gigantic stems from 2 to 3 feet, all vie with one another and capture even the casual observer of spring-flowering bulbs. Once grown, the amateur becomes interested and soon becomes a fancier with a hoard of varieties, excusably jealous of every one he or she grows.
For the borders among other hardy flowers, in formal gardens in conjunction with Single Early Tulips, for isolated groupings against a background of shrubs, or for combinations of delicate colors for effects of contrast in the flower-garden, the Darwins are without a peer.
They range in color from the daintiest pink, rose, salmon, red, etc., to deep, rich crimson; from lavender through mauve and light blue to violet-purpleand the so-called “Black Tulip” ; and we also offer one variety of yellow. For a complete list of yellow varieties we suggest selections be made from Cottage and Hybrid Tulips offered on pages 10 and 11. All buff and bronze shades frequently classed as Darwins are Breeders.
CULTURE. — Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. Sand to the depth of V2inch at the base of the bulbs will amply repay the trouble by the provision for drainage during wet weather. For forcing, bulbs should be planted as soon as received, and the flowers appear to better advantage if pots a trifle deeper than the ordinary bulb-pans are used. We recommend what are termed azalea-pots for this purpose. A temperature of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, for if allowed to “come gently,’’ larger flowers and longer stems may be had.

DUTCH BREEDER TULIPS,
May-Flowering
Breeder Tulips are very similar in habit to the Darwins, and flower at the same time. Their chief characteristic is their immense blooms, borne on strong, stiff stems, many of them longer than the most gigantic Darwins. The revival of the taste for art colors has made these Tulips, at one time very popular in England, strong favorites with American enthusiasts, who find in their bronze, buff, and brown shades excellent material for contrasting with the light and bright colors of the Darwins. They require the same cultural treatment as the Darwins.
Abd-el-Kader. Dull bronze-yellow, shading to light bronze at
- ■ edge of petals; inside bronze-brown, with olive-
green base; good-sized flower. Height 26 inches. $1 per doz., $8 per 100.
Apricot. Dull, bronzy buff, shaded deep apricot, base olive-green.
— — - — - A splendid border variety, frequently having an extra
number of petals. Height 25 inches. 90 cts. per doz., $7 per 100, $68 per 1,000.
Bacchus. Dark violet-blue, the outside of the petals having a
- - darker bloom, base starred white. Quite the nearest
approach to dark blue in late T ulips. Excellent for contrasting with bronze varieties. Height 28 inches. $1.30 per doz., $10 per 100.
Bronze Queen. Soft golden bronze; large flower of sturdy
- — - - 1 habit. A very exquisite color when forced
and splendid for the border. Height 28 inches. 75 cts. per doz., $5.50 per 100, $52 per 1,000.
Cardinal Manninq. ^ splendid shade of rosy violet, with a
- — slight edge of bronze. Large-sized
flower of fine form. Height 28 inches. 75 cts. per doz., $5.50 per 100, $52 per 1,000.
Cherbourq. This is, undoubtedly, one of the finest Breeder
- — Tulips ever introduced. We are able to offer only
a limited quantity of it. Its color is best described as a deep tone of golden yellow, with a suffusion of terra-cotta, the deeper tone of yellow growing stronger toward the edges of the petals. The flower is much admired on account of its gigantic size and beautiful color. Height 32 inches. $2.50 each, $25 per doz., $200 per 100.
Copernicus. Dark coppery bronze, flushed old-rose; interior
- — - - warm brown with yellow base. An attractive, large
flower, borne on strong stems. Height 28 inches. 95 cts. per doz., $7.50 per 100, $72 per 1,000.

COTTAGE AND HYBRID TULIPS
MAY-FLOWERING
The Cottage Tulips, like the Darwins, flower late. Many of the varieties are used extensively for late bedding and are magnificent for this purpose. The pale primrose, deep yellow, and splendid white varieties are often planted with the Darwins for effects of contrast. The following list we feel sure contains most of the best varieties. Certain varieties, like some of the Darwins, will flower a few days earlier than others, but on the whole the earliest is just at its best when the latest-flowering variety is just beginning to show bloom. We have included many of the finest of the new late-flowering Hybrid Tulips. They are the results of crossing the Darwin with Cottage Tulips, and bloom at the same time as the other May-flowering varieties.

STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED BULBS
Striped and Feathered May-Flowering Tulips
BYBLOEM AND BIZARRE TULIPS
Rose Bybloem Tulip, Athalia
Bybloem and Bizarre Tulips are "rectified” Breeder types. The Tulips arc of an old race which has been grown in Holland and in France since the beginning of the seventeenth century, and which caused the famous Tulip craze in 1635. The Bybloems are queerly striped and feathered rose or violet on a white ground. The Bizarres have dark brown stripes and feathering on a yellow ground. The varieties offered are the newer sorts, and the flowers are larger than the older and smaller- flowering sorts. They flower about the same time as the Breeder and Darwin Tulips but do not grow quite so tall, and are seen at best advantage when planted in clumps in the herbaceous border or among evergreens and shrubs. The stems average from 18 to 23 inches in height.

REMBRANDT TULIPS
Rembrandt Tulips are in reality “broken” forms of Darwin Tulips. Each year many of our best varieties of Darwin Tulips show a tendency To break, or become va¬ riegated. These Tulips, on account of their odd colorings and variegations, were very' popular at one time, and while the modern tendency to favor self-colors is recog¬ nized generally throughout all countries, these broken forms are sometimes preferred and possess splendid decorative value. The stems average from 18 to 22 in. in height. APOLLO. Lilac-rose and white, striped dark carmine. $1 per doz., $8 per 100. CARACALLA. White, striped and feathered carmine-red; a very attractive variety. $1 per doz., $8 per 100.
EROS. Soft lilac, feathered dark violet; not a large but an exquisite flower. $1 per
doz., $8 per 100.

Three-Year-Old Flowering Bulbs
Fantasy. A glorious Parrot Tulip with a straight, strong stem. It is a sport from

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS
FOR APRIL-BLOOMING OUTDOORS, POTS AND FORCING
Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Tulip for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. For formal beds on the lawn or garden borders they are excellent subjects. They do not possess the same size of bloom and length of stem of the May-flowering Darwin, Breeder and Cottage varieties, but where early blooms are desired they are frequently used. Many of the varieties may be forced in bloom in January, while all the varieties may be easily had in flower in pots late in February or early March.
Culture. — For indoor blooming they require the same cultural treatment as Hyacinths.
Outdoor Culture. — Bulbs may be planted with good assurance of success even in early December, if the ground is open. They should be planted not more than 5 inches apart, covering the bulbs about 4 inches over the top. After the first sharp frost which forms a light crust on the surface of the soil, old leaves or litter should be spread about 6 inches thick over beds or borders to prevent frost from going deeper. Do not cover bulbs, if planted early, until the first sharp frost, as field-mice frequently nest among leaves and destroy bulbs, which is im¬ possible if the covering is placed after the first hard frost.
Note. — The letters A, B and C, following the varieties indicate their relative earliness of bloom; but, with few exceptions, most of the varieties, however, bloom outdoors about the same time when planted in masses. The figures indicate the height in inches.
The following list contains the best novelties extant, as well as a complete list of the best standard varieties. We have discarded quite a number of varieties which no longer grow well.

DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS

DOUBLE LATE TULIPS
Among the recent advances made by Tulip hybridizers in Holland, the Double Late Tulip may be counted as a distinct achievement from the standpoint of the wonderful peonv-like flowers, strong stems, and well-filled blooms. For mass effect in the herbaceous border there are few Tulips that will give such a wonderful display. This, taken in connection with the unusual colors, should increase their demand by Tulip-lovers. The four varieties listed below bloom about the same time as the May-flowering Tulips listed in our catalogue under the
headings, Darwin, Dutch Breeder, and Cottage and Hybrid Tulips.
Bleu Celeste. Large, soft violet-purple flowers of a very pleas-
- - ing color. A fine Tulip for cutting and excellent
for planting in the herbaceous border. Height 14 inches. $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100.
Epicure. ®ne tBe finest new Double Late Tulips. Its color
- - strikes a new note in Tulip shades and is perhaps best
described as an even tone of rich apricot-salmon that looks particu¬ larly attractive in the bright sunshine and is very pleasing under artificial light. Height 20 inches. $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.
Mount Tacoma f°rm this Tulip is somewhat on the order
- " of a semi-double pure white peony, the petals
being slightly laciniated. Another real gem for the herbaceous border on account of its well-formed flower and large size. Height 26 inches. $5 per doz., 540 per 100.
Pensee Rose. Another Tulip of unique color, which is perhaps
- - - - best described as a deep rose-lavender. The large,
well-formed flowers are borne on stems 24 inches tall. $5 per doz., 540 per 100.

SPECIAL NOTICE!
American- Grown Daffodil Bulbs
(FOR NATURALIZING)
AS WE were advised in the fall of 1923 by the Federal Horticultural Board that importation of Holland Daffodil bulbs into the United States, for commercial sale, would be restricted after January, 1926, we began immediately to experiment with the production of this much-loved spring-flowering, bulbous plant in this country. After extended experiments we proved that the stock grown at our Long Island farms produced bulbs of high quality, some of the varieties producing hardy, sound, heavier stock than could be grown in Holland.
In order to encourage wider use of this splendid spring-flowering bulb, we are prepared to offer:
Special Mixture of Medium and Giant Trumpet Varieties $7.50 per 100, $70 per 1,000, $650 per 10,000
Muscari or Grape Hyacinth, Heavenly Blue
One of the loveliest of the spring-flowering bulbous plants for naturalizing. They begin to bloom just after the crocuses and chionodoxas. The variety Heavenly Blue is excellent for planting in masses in the wild garden or along shrubbery borders in conjunction with daffodils. The blue coloring makes a delightful contrast. Given a congenial location and left undisturbed they reseed themselves and bloom profusely every year.
Strong Bulbs, $3.50 per 100, $32 per 1,000 17
NARCISSI or DAFFODILS
No garden would be complete without the Narcissus or Daffodil. The innumerable positions in the garden in which their use may be availed of is responsible for their popularity. It is not only for garden culture that they are largely used, but many of the varieties are ex¬ tensively grown in pots or pans for indoor decoration during late winter months. Some varieties in our list may be forced into bloom as early as January. Their simple beauty of form, dignity of habit, elegance of bloom and ease of culture, account for the new interest amount¬ ing to enthusiasm of flower-lovers all over Europe. Each year we are greeted with a profusion of novelties, many of which, on account of the high prices, are not available for immediate use.
All the varieties of Narcissi or Daffodils offered in our catalogue, with the exception of the Polyanthus Narcissus and such other few sorts as are especially noted, are perfectly hardy, and will continue to flower outdoors each year if given a congenial location and not dis¬ turbed. Where they are used for bedding, and must be lifted, it is wise to permit bulbs to remain after flowering until the foliage turns brown down to the ground, then lifted, and the earth shaken from the bulbs; they should be stored in a cool, dry place. Narcissi, like hya¬ cinths, should be planted by early November, and should not be allowed to remain out of the ground so long as tulips, which may be planted up to hard frost.
Culture. — Owing to the various sizes of the bulbs, it is not advisable to state the exact depth to plant, but the simple rule of covering the bulb one and a half times its own depth, and making the distance between the bulbs 3 to 4 inches for the smaller sorts and 5 to 6 inches for the larger ones, is a good one. For greenhouse or window-garden culture treat them the same as hyacinths, except that three or more bulbs of one variety should be planted in a pot, and not single specimens.
Where a succession of blooms is desired for outdoors as well as indoors, we have arranged the following code: A, first early; B, second early; C, midseason; D, late; E, very late.
Note. — In describing Daffodils, Narcissi, etc., we have referred to the “ perianth ” and “trumpet," “crown" or “cup." The “ perianth ” is the surrounding row of petals or wings, and the other terms apply to the central funnel-like tube.

SPECIAL NOTICE American-Grown Daffodil Bulbs
As we were advised in the fall of 1923 by the Federal Horticultural Board that importation of Holland Daffodil bulbs, for commercial sale, would be restricted from entry into the United States after January, 1926, we began im¬ mediately to experiment with the production of this much¬ loved spring-flowering bulbous plant in this country. After extended experiments, we proved that the stock grown at our Long Island farms produced bulbs of high quality, some of the varieties producing hardy, sound, heavier stock than could be grown in Holland.
Golden Spur and Victoria
We have omitted and no longer grow at our farm the varieties Golden Spur and Victoria.
Golden Spur, which was largely used as an early va¬ riety, cannot be produced in this country in the quality we demand, and we find that where King Alfred is properly handled by the forcer, it can be brought to bloom equally as early and is much superior in size and refinement of bloom.
Victoria, likewise, does not do well. We suggest Empress or Spring Glory for this variety. Spring Glory is much superior in every way.
Giant Trumpet Varieties, Including New and Rare Sorts
The flowers of the Giant Trumpet varieties are of large size; the "perianth,” or wing-like petals, according to the variety, measure from 2 to 4 inches across, and the “trumpets,” or central funnel-like tubes, vary from 3 to 4 inches in length. Flowers are borne on strong, stiff stems, from 12 to 18 inches high.

Narcissus Poetaz, Aspasia
Narcissus Poeticus, King Edward VII
Narcissus Poetaz
THE HARDY CLUSTER-FLOWERED POET’S NARCISSUS
The chief characteristics of this type of Narcissus is that hybridizers by crossing the strong-scented Polyanthus varieties with the Poeticus type, developed a hardy strain of Daffodils which has the bunch- flowered character of the Polyanthus with larger flowers similar to the Poet's described on this page. They are excellent for pot culture or are splendid for the garden border.

The Poet’s Narcissi
Narcissus poeticus
This class of Narcissus, instead of having a trumpet or crown, has a small, wide-mouthed cup. They are very hardy, and are used in large numbers for naturalizing, their simplicity of form and delightful fragrance making them highly prized. Cassandra, Epic, King Edward VII, and Ornatus are used with excellent success for growing indoors in pots or pans, or gently forced into bloom for cutting purposes.
POETICUS (Pheasant’s Eye). D. The original late-flowering Pheasant’s Eye variety so popular for gardens and naturalizing; pure white flowers with orange cup, edged with red. Height 15
inches. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $9 per 100, $85 per 1,000.

Sweet-Scented Jonquils
Very much prized for their deliciously scented golden flowers; perfectly hardy in gardens or naturalized, also admirably adapted to indoor
culture in pots of soil.
Buttercup. This and Gold Sceptre are two of the finest new Jonquils. Pure golden yellow overlapping perianth; straight yellow cup; 5 to 8 flowers on a stem; has a delicate perfume. Height 21 inches. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100.

Also very hardy and valuable for outdoor planting. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100, $95 per 1,000.

Polyanthus Narcissi
BUNCH-FLOWERING
VARIETIES FOR EARLY INDOOR GROWING Not for Outdoor Planting, except south of the Carolinas READY FOR DELIVERY OCTOBER 1
We are offering three varieties of this splendid type of Nar¬ cissus which are now universally grown indoors in pots of fiber or soil as well as in pebbles and water. The varieties are Paper-White Grandiflora, the popular bunch-flowering white variety, Grand Soleil d’Or, the popular yellow bunch-flowering variety, and Chinese Sacred Lilies or Narcissus polyanthus orienlalis. These bulbs are produced for us by an expert grower in the South. The importation from France and China is no longer permitted.
Dishes of these, grown in pebbles and water, may be had in bloom continuously from Thanksgiving until Easter.

Plant different lots every three weeks from October i until March i, and you can enjoy a constant suc¬ cession of bloom.
Soleil d’Or. This popular bunch-flowering va-
- - riety of the Polyanthus type is as
easy to grow in pebbles and water as in soil or our Shur- grow Bulb Fiber. The flowers are a clear sunny yellow, with bright orange cups. $2.50 per doz., $18 per 100, $160 per 1,000.

We have listed this year only one of the newer varieties of Double Daffodils, which is splendid for pot- culture and excellent for outdoor planting as well; owing to the flowers of American-grown Von Sion Narcissus and other double-flowering varieties showing a tendency to “come green,” we have decided to omit them from our list.

STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED BULBS
EXHIBITION HYACINTHS
Every year our growers prepare to select the finest grade of Hyacinths for us for exhibition. These bulbs are of maximum size, and fully aged for this purpose. The varieties listed below are grown especially for us, and intending exhibitors at the International Flower Show next spring will be interested in our selection of varieties which we believe, when grown for exhibition, should capture First Pre¬ miums. The Hyacinth enthusiast who is interested in novelty varieties will also find this list valuable.
We offer only the best sorts. There are several hundred varieties grown abroad, but we do not consider that there are over thirty of them worth growing. Bulbs such as we supply should be planted singly in a 5-inch pot, or four bulbs to an 8-inch bulb-pan. As there is a slight variation in the time of flowering between the different varieties, we have therefore indicated the relative time of blooming, x being early, 4 the latest.

MATCHLESS BEDDING HYACINTHS
Special named varieties in distinct shades of color, to flower at the same time
BULBS MEASURE 7 TO 8 INCHES IN CIRCUMFERENCE
The Hyacinth chosen to represent each of the following shades of color is a variety which we have found from trials will be best in the three essential requirements: Best in its color; stoutest stem; largest truss of bells; so our customers will know that we have avoided using varieties that are of weak stem, and that do not support the blooms.
SPECIAL NOTICE: We are glad to report that stocks of High-Quality Hyacinths have again reached prewar size, = — i — — — I and that we are able to supply them at much reduced prices this year.
CULTURE
These Hyacinths should be planted from 6 to io inches apart, and covered with at least 4 inches of soil from the top of the bulb. For beds or borders close to the conservatory or dwelling, 6 inches will make a fine display; but where the beds are planted to be viewed from a distance, they may be planted 10 inches apart. Hyacinths planted alternately with narcissi produce a most graceful effect, and tor this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is also a very suitable distance. It is advisable to cover, after the bulbs have been planted, with leaves or some heavy material that will prevent them from freezing or being affected by early spring frosts after they have started.
Hyacinths, as well as narcissi, should be planted by November first in this latitude, as they are the better for early planting. Tulips may be planted up to December first, weather permitting.

Prepared or Treated Dutch Hyacinths
These Hyacinths are given a special treatment in heated warehouses to advance the final development of the embryo flower and thereby make it possible to have them in bloom about three weeks before the others offered in our list. The bulbs are not as large as our Matchless Bedding or Second Size Hyacinths, but if potted early and given ample time to develop strong roots, will bloom early. We offer five distinct varieties.
L’lnnoeenee. White. Schotel. Light blue.
Lady Derby. Rose pink. Laura. Violet-blue.

Miniature or Dutch Roman Hyacinths
These Hyacinths ate the same type as our Exhibition Hyacinths and our Matchless Bedding, except that they are small bulbs averaging iJS to i H inches in diameter. They are splendid for growing in 6-inch pans, and it is advisable to grow one color of a variety in each pan. Largely used by com¬ mercial florists for Easter trade. We offer four fine varieties.

French Roman Hyacinths
French Roman Hyacinths are among the earliest bulbs to be had in flower. The bulbs arrive from France late in August, and, like all bulbs grown in the south of France, they may be had in flower from November all through the winter months, if potted up in September and at intervals of every two weeks. They are much prized for pots or cutting on account of their graceful appearance and delicate fragrance. The flowers are smaller than those of the Dutch Hyacinth, and are borne in great profusion, the larger bulbs frequently having three to five graceful spikes of bloom. They are not hardy in our northern climate, and should not be planted outdoors. The general culture as given for Freesias, page 26, is suggested.

NEW GIANT-FLOWERING CROCUS
Crocuses, among the earliest bulbs to flower, are most effective when planted in masses on the lawn, or arranged in three or four rows of one color in the border. They are perfectly hardy, and may be left in the ground for three or four years after planting, without being disturbed. The best method is to scatter the bulbs about the lawn and use an ordinary garden dibble or “Slim Jim” trowel, inserting several bulbs in each spot. This makes a very' pretty effect in early spring, and the foliage and tops may be safely cut along with the grass when the first mowing is made. They are very ornamental when flowered in pots of eight to ten bulbs to a 5-inch size. They will not flower if exposed to heat, nor must too severe forcing be attempted. After potting set bulbs in a cool cellar and water well. Leave them about six weeks until they are thoroughly rooted and then bring to the light of the conservatory or sunny window. Care should be taken to cover the bulbs about 1 inch, whether planted outdoors or in pots, as planting too deep causes them not to flower.
Five New Giant-Flowering Varieties
The following five new varieties of Crocus are among the best of the newer introductions. We earnestly suggest a trial of these.
Agnes. Pale lavender-blue. An extremely popular variety. Grand Lilas. Pale lilac-blue. Very dainty color. LTnnocence. Pure white. An old favorite in many gardens.
'Lilaceus. Rich dark blue. Lovely for contrast.
Striped Queen. Violet, striped white. Large blooms, very striking.
Any of the above new varieties, $1 per doz., $7 per 100, $65 per 1,000
Standard Large-Flowering
King of the Whites. Fine large white.
La Majestueuse. White, striped lilac. Maximilian. Distinct shade of lavender. Purpurea Grandiflora. Deep glossy purple. Yellow Mammoth. Deep, large-flowering, yellow.

GIANT FREESIAS
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are quite popular and very easily raised, we would suggest the following treatment:
Procure the bulbs as early as possible, and plant them in successive batches from August to October, using from six to twenty-five bulbs for a single pan.
The soil should be a mixture of loam, to which must be added leaf-mold and sand. The bulbs planted early, say August and September, may be placed outdoors in a sheltered spot until cold weather sets in; of course they must be regularly watered and kept growing all the time. In October, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed in frames, if possible, or near the window of an unheated room. Not before November must the young plants be brought to gentle heat, and if thus cared for they will flower perfectly in January. The foliage of the Freesias is very fine and slender and must be supported with light stakes placed around the outer edge of the pans. The glistening, pure white flowers are borne on long stems, and are very valuable for cutting.
S. & W. CO.’S IMPROVED PURITY

Novelty Freesias
We offer below two new yellow Freesias which we consider a distinct advance over any ol the existing yellows that are now in commercial production at this time.
GOLDEN DAFFODIL. This variety may best be described as a rich daffodil-yellow color, such as seen in the popular variety, King Alfred. The flowers are large, well-formed, and are borne on long, stiff stems. $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100.
GOLDEN TREASURE. A rich, sunny yellow, very similar to Golden Daffodil, except that the outer part of the flower is tinged with lilac, which, to our mind, greatly enhances its beauty when seen under artificial light. The blooms are large, well open, and are borne on long, stiff stems. $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100.
New and Rare Colored Freesias
Few, if any, of the newer creations in spring-flowering bulbs have been improved by the hybridist as has been the Freesia. We now have a splendid range of colored sorts which can be obtained at moderate prices on account of the supply having been increased by propagation. Our bulbs have been produced for us under contract by California’s leading specialist in this lovely bulbous plant for indoor growing. CALIFORNIA. A large flower of bright golden yellow; extra-fine strong grower and long stems. One of the very finest yellow Freesias. $1 per doz., $8 per 100, $75 per 1,000.

LILY-QF-THE-V ALLEY PIPS
For Greenhouse Growing. November Delivery
In judging the price of our Lily-of-the-Valley, please remember that the best is the cheapest. Our Valley is positively among the best. Is bought at open prices, with instructions for a selection of the best-developed pips. Our long experience and large importations have com¬ manded this extra selection. For growing indoors these Pips are the best that can be planted. 25 pips $2.50, 100 pips $9, 250 pips $20, 500 pips $37.50, 1,000 pips $70.
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY PIPS
For Outdoor Planting. November Delivery
In the past, many garden enthusiasts have planted clumps of Lily-of-the-Valley in sheltered locations in their gardens. On account of the ruling of the Federal Horticultural Boatd, these clumps, before leaving Europe, must have all soil removed from their roots. Our experience for the past two years is that clumps received with the soil removed are not satisfactory for outdoor planting. The best way to get a good Lily-of-the-Valley bed, and the method used by professional gardeners, is to plant two-year-old pips 4 inches apart. This method will produce a better bed than by using clumps. We offer pips of smaller size than those used for growing Lily-of-the-Valley indoors for this purpose and at attractive prices. Bundles oi 10 pips 60 cts., 25 pips $1.25, 100 pips $4, 1,000 pips $35.

Two Fine £ate June -^Blooming Jjlies
LILIUM CANDIDUM
(The Madonna Lily)'
One of the oldest plants cultivated in gardens. It is sculptured on some of the most ancient vases dug up in Crete, where a civiliza¬ tion antedating that of the most ancient Egyptians flourished 5000 years ago or more. It is a symbol of purity and all things lovely. The plants make healthy evergreen rosettes of leaves in the autumn, from which stout stems, clothed with short leaves, arise in spring, bearing spire-like clusters of pure white, starry Lilies beautifully illumined by brilliant yellow anthers. They, too, are deliciously sweet, but are not so overpoweringly fragrant as some others, and may be cut and brought into the house with comfort. It blooms in June, immediately before the Royal Lily, at the same time as Delphinium Belladonna, with which it is frequently combined. As it is base-rooting only, it should be planted shallow. It likes good, well-limed garden soil and a sunny exposure. The best bulbs are those which we import from northern France and England. They should be planted as soon as received, preferably in October. Each Doz i00

LILIUM REGALE
(The Royal Lily)
A very hardy, easily grown variety from the mountains of western China, and one of the most glorious of all. The flowers are gigantic, of true Lily shape, with long, waxen petals, recurved at the tips, and lightly frilled along the edges. In effect it is pure white, but the center of the flower is richly suffused with golden yellow and the brilliant orange-yellow anthers are large and showy. The outside of the buds and the three outer petals are stained with purple-brown, which often gives a faint pinkish value to the flowers seen in quantity. This is unequaled for magnificent effect.

THREE FINE SUMMER-BLOOMING LILIES
We have featured in color what we consider three of the most popular summer-blooming Lilies in American gardens: LiSium speciosum magnificum (1), a Japanese variety, sometimes called the “Oriental Orchid”; Lilium tigrinum (2), the famous Lily so widely grown in wayside gardens in our country; and Lilium auratum (3), the famous Golden-banded Lily of Japan. We offer choice bulbs for outdoor planting.

HARDY LILIES
There is a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding among otherwise competent gardeners concerning Lilies. Since they are becoming more popular every year, and great numbers of them are being planted, perhaps it is well to make plain that there are two broad classes of Lilies with respect to their roots.
One class forms roots at the base of the bulb only; these should be planted relatively shallow, not more than twice the depth of the bulb itself. The other class forms roots both at the base of the bulb and from the stem above it; these should be planted three to four times the depth of the bulb, or, in most cases, 6 to io inches deep.
All Lilies like perfect drainage. Most of them prefer the light shade over their new shoots, that is afforded by mulch and low- growing plants or shrubs, above which they can rise and display their blossoms to the sun. A few of them prefer a very moist situation, but it must be so arranged that all dampness drains immediately away from the bulb. This can be managed by planting them upon a small heap of stones. All Bulbs do better if a handful of sharp builders' sand is placed immediately beneath the bulb to help provide better drainage.
No Lily succeeds in manured ground. They vary in their preference for lime. Some are poisoned by it, others thrive in it, some are indifferent. We shall endeavor to state all these facts concerning each variety in the descriptions which follow.
The approximate order in which the Lilies described here bloom is as follows. This order has been determined by watching them for several seasons. It may vary somewhat according to whether the Lilies have a northern or a southern exposure, much or little shade, and according to the vagaries of the different seasons. In average years they bloom in about this succession.
June: Tenuifolium, Hansoni, Davuricum, Elegans, Martagon, Chalcedonicum.
June- July: Candidum, Testaceum, Regale, Humboldti, Pardalinum.
July: Superbum, Canadense, Grayi, Carolinanum, Batemanniae, Krameri, Philadelphicum, Rubellum.
July- August: Colchicum, Auratum, Henryi. August and later: Speciosum, Tigrinum.
Lilium Auratum
The Golden-banded Lily of Japan
This is the largest and, many think, the most gorgeous of all. The flowers are enormous (often 8 to to inches across), bell-shaped, with slightly flar¬ ing and waved petals, each thickly dotted with bristly maroon spots and marked by a showy bright yellow band down the center. They are intensely fragrant and come in tremendous clusters at the top of a strong, leafy stem. Excellent specimens may reach a height of 6 or more feet, with more than a dozen perfect blooms open at one time. They bloom in July and August, are stem-rooting, and should be planted quite deep. The ground should be cov¬ ered with some low-growing plant, but the flowers must be able to rise above the undergrowth into full sunshine. These Lilies are most stately and magnificent, and in the evening, particularly on moonlight nights, array themselves in an almost unearthly beauty. At night the whole garden is pervaded with their delicious perfume.

Lilium speciosum magnificum
This is the finest of the showy Lilies and better than either Rubrum or Melpomene. In general, the flowers are somewhat like those of L. au¬ ratum, somewhat smaller, with narrower and more twisted petals. The main color is white, clouded, banded, and spotted with beautiful crimson and pink, giving the effect of some rare orchid. The plants are strong, with long, handsome leaves, grow 3 to 5 feet high, and bear great loose sprays of magnificent, delicately scented flowers, in August and Septem¬ ber. This is an easy Lily to grow, succeeding in half shade or sun, pro¬ viding the lower part of the stems are sheltered. As it is stem-rooting, it should be planted deep, and seems to like light, slightly acid soil best, although good results may be had in ordinary garden ground.

LILY BULBS FOR INDOOR GROWING
CALLA LILIES
EASTER LILIES
These like a stiff, clayey soil with a small quantity of shredded cow-manure. Bulbs should be set with the crown, or top, protruding just above the surface. When in growing condition, warm water given several times during the week will hasten the flowering period and increase the number of blooms. When using the large-sized bulbs, plant but one in a pot; smaller ones, two. We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is one of the grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable for house or conservatory decora¬ tion. See the description below. Plant Callas indoors only in the fall of the year.

AMARYLLIS
Stumpp & Walter Co.’s Giant Hybrids
Few, if any, of the bulbous plants give the amateur greater pleasure for the window-garden than these giant-flowering Amaryllis that are so easily managed. Up to a few years ago, the finest varieties of these were exhibited at our New York Flower Show and were in the hands of just a few fanciers who procured their bulbs from a famous English collection. The United States Department of Agriculture, at Wash¬ ington, has been improving on these strains for the past fifteen years, and our grower has been producing bulbs from a strain secured from the Government. One of the most glorious sights in March is several thousands of these magnificent pot plants in bloom in the Govern¬ ment greenhouses at Washington, D. C. Our strain of bulbs produces vigorous stems with from four to six blooms of the most perfect form, ranging in color from pure white grounds with varied markings of rose, red, and crimson, to the richest self colors, such as scarlet, crimson, bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Pot up bulbs, as soon as received, in good garden loam, enriched with a handful of bone fertilizer; water well and store in a dark place in a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees for four weeks until well rooted, then bring to light. Put in a sunny window and give water regularly. Bulbs potted up during September and October may be had in bloom in March. After they are through blooming, the pots may be set out¬ doors, laying them on the side until the bulbs become dormant. They may be repotted the following fall.
Mixed colors, Jumbo Bulbs, suitable for 6-inch pots, $1 each, $10 per doz., $75 per 100
ANEMONES (Windflower)
These popular flowers of French origin are useful as decorative plants for house or garden, and for cutting. If planted outdoors in the fall they must be well protected; they may also be planted in the spring in well-drained soil, and will flower during the summer.
His Excellency. Large, bright red, semi-double, showing a black center and suggesting a red poppy. $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. Excelsior Mixture. We consider this the finest strain of single¬ flowering Anemones as yet raised. The plants are taller in growth than the St. Brigid and more single. They contain many fine shades of blue, white, and scarlet. Si per doz., $7.50 per 100.
St. Brigid. There is a wide range of rich and brilliant colors in this magnificent strain. Si. 50 per doz., $10 per 100.
CHIQNODOXA (Glory-of-the-Snow)
This is considered one of the hardiest, most easily cultivated, and one of the most beautiful of the early flowering bulbous plants for mass planting which blooms about the same time as the Crocuses. The flower-spikes are about 5 inches high, and bear ten to fifteen Scilla-like blooms. They are especially suited for the herbaceous border, where they should be planted in clumps of 20 to 25 bulbs, 3 to 4 inches deep, 2 to 3 inches apart. In this way the plants seed and soon produce a perfect mass of flowering bulbs.
Luciliae. Sky-blue flowers, white in the center. 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $35 per 1000.
Luciliae, White. Beautiful white form of the above. $2 per doz., S12 per 100, $110 per 1000.
Sardensis. This is earlier than the variety Luciliae, and the earliest deep blue flower. 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $35 per 1000.
CAMASSIA
These are perfectly hardy bulbous plants that thrive well in any situation and are excellent for naturalizing. They bloom in June, producing flower-spikes 2 to 4 feet high, bearing many star-shaped flowers, measuring 1 yi to 2 inches across. Bulbs should be planted 4 to 5 inches deep, and in the case of Esculenta and Leichtlini, where mass effects are desired, 4 to 5 inches apart.
Cusicki. This noble variety is very suitable for the border, and under good cultivation grows to the height of 4 feet. The tall spikes bear numerous pale lavender, starry flowers with yellow anthers. $5 per doz., $35 per 100.
Esculenta. This plant, a native of the Mississippi Valley, grows 1 Yz to 2 feet high, bearing spikes well filled with lovely purple, starry flowers. Very showy in mass planting. $1 per doz., $6 per 100, $50 per 1000.
Leichtlini. Similar to Esculenta, but a stronger grower. Flowers are larger and come in hues of deep blue and creamy white. $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100, $90 per 1000.
CYPRIPEDIUM
Acaule (Pink Lady’s-slipper; Moccasin Flower). This beautiful native plant is an excellent subject for a damp, shady situation, woodland or shaded paths, and planted among ferns. It grows about 1 foot high and produces a large, showy, rose-purple bloom. The flowers appear to best effect when the plants are about 8 inches apart, and they should be planted about 3 inches deep. Prefers a mulch of pine or hemlock needles until it becomes established. $4 per doz., $30 per 100.
Pubescens. This is the large yellow Lady’s-slipper or Moccasin Flower. Its showy, fragrant blooms are produced at the top of a leafy stem. These little plants are very attractive planted in colonies and are excellent for the woodland path or among sheltered evergreens. $4 per doz., $30 per 100.
DIELYTRA (Dicentra spectabilis)
Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower
An old-fashioned favorite, with long racemes of graceful heart- shaped pink flowers that are always attractive. It is used largely for forcing, but is also excellent for the garden border and especially valuable for planting in the shade. A splendid pot-plant for winter blooming in the greenhouse or conservatory. Strong clumps, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100.
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS (Winter Aconite)
Early in spring the golden blossoms look charming, resting on an emerald-green cushion of leaves, and forming a striking contrast to the snowdrops, scillas, and chionodoxas. The foliage remains long after the flowers, making the plant especially valuable in moist situa¬ tions, such as under trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, and where few other flowering plants will thrive. Plant firmly, 2 inches deep, about 15 bulbs to the square foot. 50 cts. per doz., S3. 50 per 100, $30 per 1000.

EREMURUS
This noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan is one of the choicest subjects for the permanent hardy border. It thrives best in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, and prefers a deep sandy loam to which has been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches of leaves or litter will be beneficial and will save the young shoots, which start early, and are liable to be damaged by late frosts. It produces a tall, majestic flower-stalk, frequently S to 10 feet in height, which rises from a crowded tuft of narrow leaves and is crowned by a flower-spike 2 to 3 feet long, composed of closely set bell-shaped flowers which are quite star-like in effect. The colors are tones of rose, yellow, and white. Due to the pyramidal form of the
flower-spikes they are excellent for the rear of the hardy border where columnar effect is desired.

GALANTHUS (Snowdrops)
These are particularly effective under hedges, under cedar trees, and in thin woodland. They are the first to open in the spring and are very lovely. As they dislike being moved, they should be left alone to naturalize themselves. Plant 2 inches deep, mulch in winter with straw, hay, leaves, or well-decayed manure.

BULBOUS IRISES (Spanish and Dutch)
We are listing below what we believe to be the best distinct colors in Spanish and Dutch Irises, as well as the hybrid form, Wedgwood. They are excellent for growing under glass and may be grown in the garden also. Very showy displays can be made in the garden by planting in masses of distinct color or groupings of pastel shades. Their elegant flowers, borne on strong, slender stems, in a range of colors, brilliant and beautiful, create lovely effects. When planted outdoors they should be covered with a heavy mulch and the bulbs planted in a well-drained border, about 5 inches deep. The Spanish and Dutch Iris, as well as the English Iris offered on this page, are very valuable for cut-flowers. Few bulbous flowers are more deco¬ rative than the Bulbous Irises.

ENGLISH IRIS (Bulbous)
There is considerable difference in the habits and time of blooming of the Bulbous Iris family. Owing to the embargo, English Irises have become almost strangers to American gardens. They are very valuable as they prolong the blooming season of an Iris-garden, flowering at the beginning of July, just after the German Irises have finished, and before the Japanese begin. We suggest planting about 6 inches deep, in September or early October. During the first winter a heavy mulch should be applied. Once established, they require very little mulching and may be left undisturbed for years. The bulbs which we offer are grown on our Mile-Front Bulb Farm at Islip, Long Island, and the varieties offered are a distinct advance, both as to length of stem and size of bloom, over the varieties offered before the embargo.
Bavaria. White, with pale blue standards.
Bleu Celeste. Sky-blue.
Couleur Cardinal. Dark velvety blue.
Duke of Richmond. Dark velvety purple.
Grand Lilas. Fine, strong-growing variety. Pale Cambridge blue, blotched dark blue.
John Dueker. White, mottled with rose-purple.

Mont Blanc. This variety has been well named. The flowers are large, broad-petaled, and of the purest white color.
Othello. A very fascinating and large flowering variety. The color is a magnificent deep blue, flaked purple.
Prince of Wales. Standards lavender-purple, flaked black; falls broad, bright blue, slightly blotched purple-black, with white eye. Very handsome.
Tricolor. Standards reddish purple; falls bluish lilac.
Any of the above varieties, $2 per doz., $15 per 100
IXIAS
The Ixia is a beautiful little winter-flowering bulb, with long, slender, graceful spikes of bloom. The colors are rich, varied and beautiful, the center always differing in color from the other parts of the flower, so that the blossoms, expanding in the sun’s rays, present
a picture of gorgeous beauty. Very desirable for pots. Doz I00

MUSCARI (Grape Hyacinths)
Very beautiful little flowers for planting in masses, either in shade or where exposed to the sun. They produce flower-spikes thickly set with small, bell-like blooms. When planted out in herbaceous borders, where they can be left undisturbed, they do exceedingly well, each year adding to their already profuse-blooming qualities. Bloom outdoors during May. They are also excellent for pot culture. Plant in bold groups, 2 to 3 inches deep and 2 inches apart. Heavenly Blue. This variety is the largest and best of the Grape Hyacinths. The bells are large and form a fine truss. Splendid effects are produced by massing in the garden or border. 50 cts. per doz , S3. 50 per 100, $32 per 1,000.

This is one of the finest flowering plants for pot culture that we have ever seen. It is such a strong, luxuriant grower that five or six bulbs will be sufficient for a 6- or 8-inch pot. Place in a dark, cool position for several days to root thoroughly, and remove to a sunny situation in the window or conservatory in a temperature of about 60 degrees Fahr., and the great profusion of bloom produced in uninterrupted abundance for weeks will astonish and delight you. Large-flowering. We have a very fine strain of these Oxalis. Flowers are large, and they may be had in blossom, by successional plantings, from October until May. We have four colors — Yellow, Pink, White, and Lavender. 50 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100.
RANUNCULUS
The bulbs of Ranunculus resemble tiny clumps of dahlia roots. They look as much like spiders as anything. The flowers are extremely double, almost globular, regular in outline, often exceed 2 inches in diameter, and are to be had in all the colors except blue. The colors are bright, clear, and pure.
French Mixed. We offer a mixture of all colors of the French Ranunculus at $1 per doz., S7 per 100, $65 per 1,000.

Scilla nutans (English Bluebell)
The flowers of this lovely Scilla are similar in type to S. campanu¬ lata, listed above, but spikes are not as tall and are more arching in character. Visitors to the English countryside during daffodil time will doubtless remember this pretty flower which is a native of the woodlands and blooms the same time as the daffodils. 50 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $30 per 1,000, $250 per 10,000.
SPIREA (November delivery)
Gladstone. Large spikes of pure white flowers, borne on strong stems 18 inches high.

Two Popular Hardy Perennials for Fall Planting
We offer, below, two of the most popular hardy perennial plants for fall planting. These are grown in our own nurseries and all orders placed at this time will be delivered at the proper planting-time this fall.
HARDY PHLOX
Culture. — Hardy Phlox may be planted in spring or fall; a mulch of old manure thrown around the roots will be of benefit to the plants. Phlox should be set out 18 inches apart, and if kept well watered will produce both individual blossoms and heads of bloom far larger than otherwise, and amply repay the extra trouble. To procure best effects, plants should be massed in from six to twelve clumps of each variety
Superb Hardy Phlox
Albion.

Ethel Pritchard. Beautiful mauve color. Strong grower and free bloomer.
La Vague. Florets of moderate size, borne in large trusses. Soft pink. Maid Marion. One of the best lilac varieties; of medium height and a free bloomer.
Obergartner Reichenau. Extra-large flowers of bright rose. Strong, compact grower; extra-heavy foliage.
Rose Queen. An exceptionally fine variety. Clear rose-pink. Con¬ sidered one of the best.
Rynstroom. Dark salmon-rose. Easily one of the finest Phlox of its color.
Selma. A clear, bright rose, highly relieved with a carmine-crimson
eye.
Wanadis. Immense trusses with large individual florets. Delicate lilac shade with bluish purple eye.
Price of the above varieties, except Elizabeth Campbell, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100
Early-flowering Hardy Phlox (.Phlox suffruticosa)
Miss Lingard. A grand variety, which begins flowering after the middle of June and continues throughout the season. Large white flowers, with pale pink eye. Extensively used for cut-flowers. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100.
Our plants are choice divisions from field-grown plants which we have found to give excellent satisfaction. A vigorous-growing variety; pure white, with a pale pink
HERBACEOUS PEONIES
Culture. — The culture of Peonies is' quite simple. They require a good, deep, rich soil and an abundant supply of water during the growing season. When enriching the ground, the use of too much fresh manure near the roots should be avoided. The main point to observe is, while the ground should be well spaded and cultivated, not to plant the roots too deep. The roots should be planted so that the eyes are barely covered (about 1 to 2 inches). Too deep planting is the cause of shy flowering.
Size of Roots. — -The roots we offer have been grown two years from root divisions. If planted during September and October these roots should become well established and give some flowers the following year.
Many of the following varieties of Peonies have received a very high rating. They are grown at our own Farmingdale Farm, on Long Island. Each variety offered has been selected by us on account of its merit.

STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED BULBS
GERMAN IRIS (. Iris germanica )
In presenting to our patrons a new revised list of these Irises, we have endeavored to offer only the most outstanding varieties in dis¬ tinctive and attractive color shades. These new types are as superior to the older varieties as the modern canna is to the original “Indian Shot." Some, by reason of scarcity, are high in price, hut all are greatly to be desired and their sturdiness of growth, free-flowering habit, and rich, brilliant colors promise to make them a feature in every garden.
German Iris
AFTERGLOW. A soft blending of lavender-gray and pink, shading to buff in the falls. It is much easier, and perhaps more correct to describe this variety just as “beautiful,” without attempting to enumerate the shades of color that contribute to its beauty.
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
ALCAZAR. Huge size, stately appearance, and a delightful fragrance are enough to class this as an outstanding Iris. The standards are soft violet-orchid, with the falls rich crimson-purple, and white throat marked bronze. A beard of dazzling orange and the glistening silkiness of the entire flower caused this variety to be classed by tlie Cornell Test-Gardens as one of the best ten varieties. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
AMBASSADEUR. Judged the most popular Iris in the world by vote of the American Iris Society. Its coloring is rich throughout, with a charming variety of tints and shades that makes description difficult. The falls are rosy lilac and the standards rich reddish purple. Placed where the rays of the sun shine through it, it appears to be rich ruby-red. A strong-growing variety and a garden favorite.
51 each, Sio per doz.
ASIA. An aristocrat among Irises. Tall and stately, often growing well over 4 feet in height. The standards are pale silvery lavender, with golden base, with the falls rosy lavender, margined lighter; bright golden yellow beard. A flower of great elegance, both dainty and rich. Blooms over a long period of time. Si. 75 each, $17.50 per doz.
BALLERINE. This is a favorite among the light blue varieties. The large flowers are produced freely, and are of dainty coloring. They appear quite late, are very fragrant, and are borne on strong, 4-foot stems. Si each, Sio per doz.
BRUNO. Among the finest of Irises, this variety is a leader. Its qualities are such that it is regarded as the parent of varieties of the future. The flowers, which are large and of fine form, are remarkable for their heavy, plush-like texture which brings out the beauty of the exquisite coloring to the highest degree. The standards are of heliotrope, flushed bronze, with falls of rich purple, shaded violet, veined with w’hite in the throat. $5 each, S50 per doz.
CLUNY. A tall-growing variety with standards of light lavender; falls darker lavender, shading to blue, with purple-grown markings as the base. $1 each, $10 per doz.
DOMINION. A forerunner of a new race of Irises. It is the original variety of the class now known as “Dominion Iris,” which is characterized by the heavy, plush-like texture of its blooms and their rich, deep coloring. Dominion is the first and, by many, is considered the best of this race. The standards are of steel-blue and the falls deep rich indigo-purple. $7.50 each, $75 per doz.
DREAM. Soft, clear, uniform pink. Daintiness and charm find a home with this exquisitely pretty Iris. Truly one of our most attractive varieties, and loved by all Iris enthusiasts. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
FAIRY. One of the few older varieties that has stood the test of time and the competition of the novelties offered today. With some, its delicious orange-blossom fragrance cannot be duplicated by any other variety. Others regard it as the finest of white varieties. The falls and standards are milk-white, delicately pen¬ ciled and margined light blue, with a bright golden beard. 30 cts. each, S3 per doz.
FRIEDA MOHR. A giant-flowered pink variety that measures up to 7 inches across. The flower, in spite of its huge size, is per¬ fectly formed, of good texture, and brilliantly colored. In addition to being one of the largest-flowered varieties in commerce, it is very free flowering and blooms over a long period of time. Certainly an outstanding variety. $5 each, $50 per doz.
GOLD IMPERIAL. Deep chrome-yellow throughout, enhanced by a bright orange beard. A greatly admired variety and considered one of the finest of the yellow Irises. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
GREVTN. Height and rich coloring make this an outstanding variety in the garden. It is a rich red-purple throughout and a favorite variety. 75 cts. each, S7.50 per doz.
JACQUELINE GUILLOT. Among the larger-flowered varieties, this is unique in color. The blooms are finely formed, silky in texture, and of a beautiful bluish violet throughout. A French variety that has found an enviable place with American Iris fanciers. Si. 75 each, $17.50 per doz.
KHEDIVE. Another of the older varieties that it has not been easy to replace. Standards beautiful soft lavender; falls white, veined brown. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
LENT A. WILLIAMSON. One of the best garden Irises, and ranked in 1922 as the best Iris in the world. The standards are of lavender- violet and the falls royal purple. The fine form and great sub¬ stance of the flowers make this variety a prize-winner. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.
LORD OF JUNE. The older sorts cannot compare with this peer of blue varieties. The blooms are huge in size, dwarfing other varieties in the garden, and possess an enchanting fragrance. The standards are soft lavender-blue and the falls rich violet-blue. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
MAGNIFICA. Many things contribute to the beauty of this strong¬ growing variety. The blooms are delightfully fragrant, of heavy texture and large size. The general color is violet, in the standards shaded blue, and in the falls shaded red. $1 each, $10 per doz.
MARSH MARIGOLD. A unique and variegated color-scheme places this in a limited and very desirable class. Rich buttercup- yellow is the sole color of the standards; the falls are brownish red, with a heavy margin of the same buttercup-yellow. The beard, too, is yellow. The contrast of colors is delightful. $1 each, $10 per doz.
MEDRANO. Especially valuable because of its low growth, being but 2 feet in height. The standards are red-copper, with a sug¬ gestion of violet; falls dark crimson-purple, flaked buff and laven¬ der. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
MME. CHOBAUT. A late-flowering variety of most unusual color. As a whole it is a pretty shade of yellow. The standards are ruffled, and overlaying the yellow is a flush of rosy bronze; falls are stippled and marked red, with the throat veined the same color. A rich orange beard adds to its attractiveness. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
MORNING SPLENDOUR. An American introduction of great merit. The blooms, which are sweetly scented, are of deep rich purple. Very fine habit, form, and substance make it an excellent garden variety. $1.75 each, $17.50 per doz.
MOTHER OF PEARL. This variety is well named. Introduced several years ago, it has become a favorite. The iridescent shades of mother-of-pearl suffuse the entire bloom, which is of large size and perfect shape. The white throat is overlaid with gold. $1 each, $10 per doz.
OPERA. The limited class of violet-red Irises was greatly enriched with the introduction of Opera. Silky blooms of rich violet-red are produced in great profusion on 2-foot stems. The beard, too, is of a decidedly reddish tone. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
PALLIDA, ALBERT VICTOR. Another of the older varieties that it has been hard to duplicate. Standards soft blue; falls beautiful lavender. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
39
STUMPP & WALTER CO., 30 and 32 Barclay St., New York
GERMAN IRIS, continued
PERFECTION. Standards light blue; falls dark violet. A very free-flowering variety and an excellent one for the garden. 40 cts. each, S4 per doz.
PRINCESS BEATRICE. Pure, soft, lustrous lavender. Blooms of large size and fine shape. An outstanding variety in its color, and rated as one of the most perfect of Irises. $1 each, $10 per doz.
PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE. The combination of colors found in this variety has kept it in the front rank. The standards are sulphur-yellow and the falls rich plum, bordered cream. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
PROSPER LAUGIER. One of the finest varieties in which bronze predominates, and rated by many as the best in existence. The standards are a glistening fiery bronze, and the falls rich ruby-red with a velvety sheen. The throat is white, netted with old-gold. A glistening orange beard still further adds to its attractiveness. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
QUAKER LADY. One more of the older varieties that we have retained because of its unquestioned merit. Vigorous in growth and beautiful in color. The standards are smoky lavender and the falls of the same shade overlaid with gold. 35 cts. each, S3. 50 per doz.
QUEEN ALEXANDRA. Standards fawn, shot with lilac; falls bronze with yellow beard. 30 cts. each, S3 per doz.
QUEEN CATERINA. The most striking pcrint about this variety is the contrast between the pale lavender-violet of the standards and falls and the brilliant orange beard. Under certain conditions of light it appears toned with pink. A delightful fragrance is another point in its favor. 50 cts. each, SS per doz.
RAFFET. A variety combining several shades of violet in a most attractive fashion. The standards are intense violet-blue and the falls darker violet, marked white. 50 cts. each, S5 per doz.
RHEIN NIXE. A very old variety that more than holds its own with recent novelties. The standards are snow-white and the falls rich pansy-violet, with a margin of white. It is of high rating and almost perfect in form and substance. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
SEMINOLE. In the limited class of crimson Irises, this is king. No other Iris has yet been introduced to equal it in brilliancy of color. It is a bright velvety red-purple throughout, with a striking orange beard. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
SHEKINAH. Considered to be the best allround yellow obtainable. The standards are slightly ruffled and of clear soft yellow; falls are of the same color, with a fine golden beard. Perhaps not as large as some others, but by far -the most attractive for the garden. 50 cts. each, $3 per doz.
SHERWIN WRIGHT. Fine deep yellow throughout. Perfectly hardy and excellent for landscape work. 35 cts. each, S3. 50 per doz.
SOUV. DE MME. GAUDICHAU. To France we owe this peer of all purple Irises. It is superior to any other variety in this color class, being larger, darker and of higher rating. The standards are dark purple and the falls are even a shade darker, with blackish sheen. Even the beard is of the same color. In addition, it possesses a delightful fragrance. Si each, Sio per doz.
SUSAN BLISS. Here, almost at the end of our list, we place the finest pink Iris. Welcomed with enthusiasm by Iris-lovers, it has well deserved their praise. Orchid-pink blooms of perfect form proudly surmount tall, strong stems. Si. 50 each, S15 per doz.
WHITE KNIGHT. Though the stems are but 2 feet tall, the blooms they bear place it among the leaders. Flowering late, it produces waxy white flowers of heavy texture and fine form. It resists unfavorable weather far better than most Irises. 50 cts. each, Ss per doz.
SIBERIAN IRIS
The Siberian Irises are much like the Dutch Bulbous Irises in form of flower and time of bloom. Their foliage, however, is long and grass-like. They do well when planted in connection with the German varieties and are splendid for cut-flowers.
EMPEROR. A fine dark-flowering variety. The blooms are large and the texture fine. A uniform deep violet-blue throughout. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
PERRY’S BLUE. Decidedly the most popular of the Siberian Irises, and probably the best. In color it is a beautiful shade of sky-blue, with the falls slightly marked white. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
JAPANESE IRIS
The Japanese Irises flower after the German, and extend the blooming season for several weeks. Their large, flat, saucer-like flowers do not have the variety of colors found in the German, but the richness and charm of the colors that do exist endear them to all who see them.
AZURE. A well-named variety of deep azure-blue. The huge, double flowers, with wavy petals, are of one color throughout, except for a yellow blotch at the base. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.
CHOSEIDAN. Double-flowered type of ruby-crimson. There are small yellow blotches surrounded by white halos which radiate in broad lines. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
GOLD BOUND. For all general purposes the best white variety. Not as large as White Giant but a strong-growing kind and one of the best. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
KAMATA. Deep blue, veined with white. A single-flowered variety and quite distinct. 50 cts. each, $3 per doz.
MAHOGANY. A very attractive shade of red, shaded maroon. The flowers are not as large as some other varieties, but the unusual color of this double-flowered form makes it a favorite. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.
MRS. GEORGE STUMPP. Pure white, except for a cast of blue. A single-flowered type. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
PAINTED LADY! Single. White, center blotched light phlox- purple. The tufts are also white, edged with the same phlox- purple shade. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
PYRAMID. A tall-growing variety. Dark violet-purple in color, with a bright yellow blotch. A double-flowered form of large size. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
RED RIDING HOOD. Single. Fine amaranth, veined and suffused white. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.
ROSE-ANNA. Ivory-white, with heavy ruby-red veins, and con¬ spicuous yellow blotch; stigmas dark plum. A double-flowered type. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.
TEMPLETON. A double type of light violet color, mottled reddish pink and white. 50 cts. each. $3 per doz.
VIOLET BEAUTY. Deep violet. An outstanding variety. The flowers are single in form but very large and very attractive. 75 cts. each, $7.30 per doz.
Two Fine New Varieties
VIOLET GIANT. Rich violet, shading to rose. Flower of gigantic size, semi-double. A wonderful grower, distinct in color from any existing varieties. The flowers frequently measure 27 inches in circumference. $3 each, $50 per doz.
WHITE GIANT. The finest white Japanese Iris in existence, sur¬ passing the new Betty F. Holmes and the older Gold Bound which, heretofore, have been considered the leaders. A strong, vigorous grower, pure white, with yellow markings on the standards. In size it is equal to Violet Giant and is a fitting companion variety. $5 each, $50 per doz.

OW ABOUT YOUR LAWN ?
25-Pound versus 14-Pound LAWN SEED
Many low-priced Grass Seed mixtures weigh only 14 pounds per bushel. This indicates either the presence of chafl or some of the really good varieties in the rough state, not properly cleansed so as to leave only the vital part and less of the chaff or shell — in other words, so many less seeds to the quart or pound that will germinate and grow real grass.
Why Not Buy the Recleaned Kind
A formula of grasses (including Bent Grasses) weighing over 25 pounds per bushel, of high germination and purity, permanent in nature, the varieties carefully proportioned so that they will succeed one another in brightness of foliage, with the result that the lawn, even in its first year, will have a bright, rich green color from early spring until covered by snow. Staigreen consists of the purest and choicest varieties of grasses, regardless of high money value. Certain varieties are scarcer in some seasons than others, but the formula from which Staigreen is compounded does not change with the years: it is always the same and always the best.

Quantity of Mixed Seeds to Sow
For Golf. Average putting-green, 50 pounds; fairway, 200 pounds per acre.
For Lawns. Conditions generally less exacting and a smaller quantity ordinarily will suffice. Use 1 pound per 400 square feet (20 x 20 ft.) or 100 pounds per acre. Double quantity for quick results. Lawns sown in early fall will produce a turf that will better withstand summer drought.
Use one-half above quantities for renovating existing turf.

GRAIN HARD, LARGE, DARK [J O JT I tjlllli-. Y Y SOW 1V2 TO 2 BUSHELS PER ACRE
A variety of Wheat which originated in the Shenandoah Valley. Leap’s Prolific need not be seeded as heavily as most other Wheats. It stools out strongly and roots deeply, each grain producing a great bunch of stalks. A large, dark red, hard Wheat which, while being a heavy yielder, is not weak in color or soft. The heads are large, the chaff of a beautiful white and without beards. The glumes are close together on the head and so well closed that the Wheat does not shatter badly in handling. The straw is of medium length, is thick walled, and holds up a crop of 40 bushels per acre finely. The new crop which has just been harvested under our own supervision, is of very high quality and averaged 35 bushels per acre. We can confidently recommend this as one of the best Winter Wheats we know of. Pk. $1.50, y2bus. $2.25, bus. $4.25; 10-bus. lots, $3.75 per bus.
GRAIN LARGE, HARD, LONG BERRY TYPE, PLUMP, DARK RED
Lancaster Fulcaster Wheat BE^DEB™S™M BUS-
Lancaster Fulcaster is rightly one of the most popular bearded Wheats. It is a variety that under care and supervision was im¬ proved by years of selection from the old “Fulcaster.” It is one of the purest Wheats now being offered. “Lancaster Fulcaster” is a reliable yielder year after year. In years when all conditions are against successful crops this variety proves its reliability by making good average yields in spite of adverse conditions. Pk. $1.50, y2bus. $2.25, bus. $4.25; 10-bus. lots, $3.75 per bus.
Certified Rosen Rye
One of the greatest achievements in the science of breeding and selecting varieties of grain. Introduced in 1912 to the farmers of the state by the Michigan Experiment Station. A great yielding variety. Rosen occupies about three-fourths of Michigan’s 550,000 acres of Rye. Now growing and giving excellent success in a great many parts of the United States and Canada. Rosen has the “big head”; its “big head” is “full.” It is a vigorous growing plant and does well on all soils.
Certified Seed (seed that must pass a rigid test in the field and after harvesting), pk. $1.65, bus. $5, 10 bus. $45.
Choice Rosen Rye, pure seed stock, but not passing the exacting requirements of certified seed. Pk. $1.35, bus. $3.25, 10 bus. $31, 100 bus. $290.
Mammoth White Winter Rye
The heads average 6 to 8 inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavy grains. The straw is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, resisting severe wind- and rain-storms to a remarkable degree without lodging. Of special value for cover crop for plowing under. Pk. $1.25, bus. $3, 10 bus. $25, 100 bus. $225.
IMPROVE YOUR SOIL. Do not allow even the smallest area of land to remain idle over the winter. A plow-in crop of Rye, Wheat, Vetch or Crimson Clover adds humus to the soil, retains plant-food, holds moisture and is a valuable substi¬ tute for animal manures. Sow this fall; plow shortly before spring planting.

STUMPP & WALTER CO.’S SELECTED SEEDS
SEASONABLE FARM SEEDS
Prices f. o. b. Boat or Railroad, New York, and are subject to market changes
Finest Recleaned Seeds. Newest Crop. Remachined Specially for Elimination of Weed Seeds
CRIMSON CLOVER ( Trifolium incarnatum )
Splendid and Economical Cover-Crop for Using Green or Plowing Under
Used principally for soiling or green manuring. If desired for feed, cut it just before it flowers; when desired for green manure or soil¬ ing, it should be left until mature before plowing under. Sow Crim¬ son Clover in September and October or at the last working of such crops as corn, beans, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., at the rate of 20 pounds to the acre. Lb. 35 cts., 10 lbs. $3, 100 lbs. $22.50.
RECLEANED ALFALFA Now
Sow 30 to 35 pounds per acre if broadcast, or 25 to 30 pounds, if drilled in, in May, or during August and early September, or most any season when weather conditions are favorable; top-dress it with manure every fall, and it will rarely winter-kill. It can be cut usually three times in one season. The great secret in getting a successful stand of Alfalfa lies in the preparation of the ground; it will pay everyone who wants to grow this valuable farm crop to give the ground preparation most intelligent thought. It must be borne in mind that an Alfalfa field properly started will yield successfully a score of vears. Northern -grown seed. Lb. 50 cts., 10 lbs. $4.50, 100 lbs. $35.
GRIMM ALFALFA
The Grimm Alfalfa is much hardier than the ordinary kinds ob¬ tained from Kansas. Utah, and elsewhere, and there is even strong reason to believe that it is the hardiest known form of the cultivated plant. It not only endures extremely low temperatures with or with¬ out snow and other adverse conditions, but it can be cut with greater safety late in the fall and will bear more abuse in the way of pasturage than any other plant that has been compared with it until this time. There is some disagreement among investigators as to how Grimm Alfalfa obtained its hardiness, but there is no difference of opinion that it is hardy. Lb. 80 cts., 10 lbs. $7.50, 100 lbs. $65.
VARIOUS CLOVERS
Alsike or Swedish ( Trifolium hybridum) . Hardiest of all Clovers, and on rich, moist soil yields an enormous quantity of hay or pas¬ ture. Lasts many years. Sow 10 lbs. per acre when used alone. Lb. 55 cts., 10 lbs! $4.50, 100 lbs. $40.
Red Clover, Medium ( Trifolium pratense). Medium Clover. The leading variety of Clover for pastures or meadows. Finest quality. Sow 20 pounds per acre alone, or 15 pounds where other grass or hay crops are standing. Hardy American-grown seed. Lb. 60 cts., 10 lbs. $5, 100 lbs. $40.
White Dutch Clover ( Trifolium repens). The best variety for lawns, as it forms a close herbage and remains green throughout the season. Lb. 65 cts., 10 lbs. $6, 100 lbs. $50.
WINTER VETCH (Vida viliosa)
True Sand or Hairy Vetch
Extensively used as a soil-renovator or for dry or green feed in the early spring. It may be sown alone or with winter rye or oats; is perfectly hardy, thriving in every climate, under most adverse con¬ ditions. Is very nutritious and live-stock relish it. When sown with rye, etc., it will attain a height of 4 to 5 feet; it requires one-half bushel to sow an acre, or one bushel if sown alone. Sow as early as possible in the fall or summer and get a good growth before cold weather sets in. 60 lbs. per bushel. Lb. 35 cts., 10 lbs. $2.75, 100 lbs. $20.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE
Valuable as a fattening food for pasturing sheep in autumn. It is particularly adapted as a “catch crop.” Sow 10 to 12 lbs. to an acre broadcast; 4 to 5 lbs. in drills. Lb. 25c., 10 lbs. $1.75, 100 lbs. $12.50.
Grass for Hay or Permanent Pasture
Timothy, Red-Top, and Red Clover have long formed the standard hay and pasture mixture for use on the American farm.- It is not an ideal combination, but is inexpensive and we offer it under the head¬ ing of Timothy-Red-Top-Clover Formula. Where large yield and high quality are looked for, we recommend that a much wider variety than this be sown, using in addition to the above such types as Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s Fescue, Rhode Island Bent, Fiorin or German Bent, Cocoos Bent, Sweet-scented Vernal, Meadow Fescue, the Rye Grasses, the Blue Grasses, Oat Grass, Red, Mammoth, White, Wild White and Alsike Clovers; each of these is suited especially to certain kinds of soil and climatic condi¬ tions; some do well on high ground, others prefer plenty of moisture. It is necessary that these be selected in proper proportions, suitable to the soil conditions and for the purpose required.
CLOVER AND GRASS FORMULA. For high quality hay or pasture. Includes a wide range of both grasses and clovers. Use 63 lbs. per acre when sowing new land. Lb. 55 cts., postpaid 65 cts.; 10 lbs. $5., 100 lbs. $45.
ALL-GRASS FORMULA. For high-quality hay or pasture.
Grasses only — no clovers. Use 85 lbs. per acre when sowing new land. Lb. 45 cts., postpaid 55 cts.; 10 lbs. $4, 100 lbs. $35.
ALL-CLOVER FORMULA. For Pasture. Use 25 lbs. per acre when sowing new land. Lb. 60 cts., postpaid 70 cts.; 10 lbs. $5.50, 100 lbs. $50.
TIMOTHY-RED-TOP-CLOVER FORMULA. For hay and pasture at low cost. Use 50 lbs. per acre when sowing new land. Lb. 40 cts., postpaid 50 cts.; 10 lbs. S3. 50, 100 lbs. S27.50.
For renovating existing fields, use one-half the above quantities
IMPORTANT, When ordering these seeds, tell us whether the field is to be used for hay or pasture, or both; please also describe the nature of your soil.

Fibreware This pot does just what its name implies. It nurses Flower Vase and nourishes the young plants that are entrusted to its care. When put into the soil, it absorbs nine times its own weight of moisture, thus releasing the plant-nourishing substances which the Plantnurse Pot contains, feeding the young plant in a most practical and easy manner. It gives the plant strength and protects the young roots. In a few weeks the roots will have grown through the Plantnurse Pot and a short time later you will find that the roots and the pot are one solid ball, ready to plant out without any checking of growth.
The Plantnurse Pot is made from peat-moss and manure, and is not only a pot, but a manure for the young plant.

ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO MARKET CHANGES
For controlling Argentine and species of house ants commonly known as “honey- dew loving ants.”
Antrol containers offer you three distinct ad¬ vantages over ordinary methods. First, Antrol is safe to use around children or pets; second, this modem system kills the queen ant and thus destroys the entire ant colony; and third, the Antrol method is in accordance with the methods adopted by the U. S. Government.
Ants immediately smell the Antrol Syrup in the jars and eat it as food. They climb into the jars through the open¬ ings provided for that purpose in the top of the containers, and down the tiny bits of excelsior which operate as “ladders” into the syrup. The ants then carry this syrup, which is mildly poisonous, back to the ant nest, and in this way transmit it to the queen ants and their entire colony. Soon the entire ant colony is destroyed and your home is free from the rav¬ ages of these annoying pests.

There arc two secrets of soil fertility: The soil must be correct mechanically and right chemically. Correct mechanically means that it should possess the proper framework — enough clay to form a ‘body,’ sufficient grit to allow moisture to seep downward during rainy weather and to encourage it to work upward during dry weather by capillary action, and some remains of dead plants or humus to act as a sponge to hold moisture ready for the plant-roots to absorb it. Right chemically means that the soil contains the proper plant-foods in a condition easy for the plant to feed upon and in sufficient quantity to afford uninterrupted growth. You can make almost any soil mechanically correct and chemically right by the proper use of some of the materials listed on this and the following page.
Sawco Special Colloidal and Bone Base Fertilizers
Bone Fertilizer
SAWCO
SmeralcL Grass Fertilizer
Mixed Fine and Coarse. (For general use.) This grade is recommended for the garden and for lawns. It is quick to give results, yet the benefits '==s are lasting. The standard food for roses; much used on hay and pasture fields. Use 1,500 pounds per acre or 5 ounces to the square yard, dug or raked into the soil; use one-half this rate when top-dressing grass. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. $1.75, 50 lbs. $3, 100 lbs. $5, 500 lbs. $19, ton $65.
For lawns and golf putting- greens. A well-balanced formula, designed to feed only the finer grasses and to keep them in a healthy condition. When build¬ ing a lawn, from Jd ton to 1 ton per acre (3 to 6 ounces to the square yard) should be harrowed or raked into the upper surface. Every spring and early autumn existing lawns may be given a dressing of 500 to 1,000 pounds per acre (1 Id to 3 ounces to the square yard); when applied as a top-dressing to turf, it is best to mix the Emerald Grass Fertilizer with four times its bulk of fine soil or sand before broadcasting. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. $1.75. 50 lbs. $3-25, 100 lbs. $5.50, 500 lbs. $22, ton $75.
For vegetables, flowers, and fruit. Recommended strongly as the best for all-round work in the garden. Use it at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre, or 3 ounces to the square yard when preparing land for plant¬ ing in the spring. Good practice, too, is to spread General Garden Fertilizer between the rows of plants when they are growing and then to hoe it into the soil; use about 3 pounds per 100 running feet for this, repeating every month. When planting beans, cucumbers, etc., in hills, a handful worked into the soil under the hill will be a great help, and the same thing may be done when planting tomatoes, cabbages, peppers, dahlias, peonies, etc. The soil immediately around roses may be whitened with General Garden Fertilizer and then raked. Before sowing seeds in rows a little General Garden Fertilizer may be placed in the drill and the soil stirred to mix it thoroughly. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. Si. 75, 50 lbs. $3.25, 100 lbs. $5.50, 500 lbs. §22, ton $75.

Phosphate
NorrBui-ninp
Non-Leaching
World’s Finest Phosphate
Stumpp&WalterGo.
New York.
Will not harm vegetation, regardless of the amount used. Use it in addition to other fertilizers. It conserves nitro¬ gen, the most valuable and essential plant-food, holds wrater, and gives it to the plants with least resistance. It contains many of the colloidal mineral elements most necessary to plant-life and production, and is a non-burning, non-leaching plant-food. Sawco Col¬ loidal Phosphate gets down in the soil where the plant-roots absorb it. It regulates and increases the plant-food supply in the soil, and contains and produces carbon dioxide which the foli¬ age of the plant takes up from the air and which builds 95 per cent of the plant-structure. It increases root-growth and resists drought, stimulates and increases the growth of bacteria in the soil, discourages growth of weeds. Can be applied at any time, and is not affected by weather or time. A fine, odorless plant-food, pleasant to use, and free from harmful bacteria and weed seeds. 100 lbs. $5, 500 lbs. $17.50, 1,000 lbs. $30, ton $50, car-lots (15 to 20 tons) $40 per ton.
A highly concentrated, bal¬ anced fertilizer for house-plants; also strongly recommended for shade trees and shrubbery. Several applications of this valu¬ able plant-food, which can be used either diluted in water or broadcasted during the season at intervals of one month, will give amazing results. For house- plants dilute at the rate of one tablespoon to one quart of water, being careful not to touch foliage; also recommended for out¬ door use, thoroughly saturating the soil, applying late in the afternoon, i-lb. can 50 cts., 5 lbs. $2, 10 lbs. $3, 25 lbs. $5.
A soil-builder and ideal mulch that is especially recommended for crops in hot, sandy soils. Thoroughly incorporate with the soil. About 400 pounds of the concentrated material may be considered as equal in value to one ton of fresh cow-manure. Use from 1 to 3 tons to the acre; 6 to 20 ounces per square yard. 100 lbs. $5.50, 500 lbs. $20, ton $70.
Supplies nitrogen to the grass plants only; these are encour¬ aged and they flourish, while clover is eventually crowded out. Frequent dressings are advised. Use 2 yi ounces to the square yard, 750 lbs. to the acre, mixed with twice its bulk of fine sand or soil. 100 lbs. $6, 500 lbs. $25, ton $80.

Insect and Rodent Repellent
_ Occasionally our patrons advise us that their bulbs are destroyed by the ravages of mice, particularly in the case of Tulips. This happens frequently in borders which are near woodland. Moles get into the borders or beds, leaving holes through which mice enter and devour the bulbs. The ravages of mice can be practically eliminated or min¬ imized, provided the planter will not plant the bulbs too early. In this section of the country Tulip bulbs should not be planted until about Election Day; south of the Carolinas, about December I. It should be remembered that Tulips immediately begin to make roots, provided the land is warm, and as soon as the roots are developed they have a tendency to make top-growth. More failures are due to too early planting rather than to faulty planting. Practically all other bulbs in our list are not affected by rodents. In the case of Tulips that are planted in the perennial border, and where the planter desires to give other plants protection, it is urged that this protection be given after the ground has frozen several inches, that is, defer covering your borders until hard frost has set in. By covering at this time you will keep the frost in, and, in almost every instance, keep the mice out.
It is advisable, however, as a further protection, to use what is perhaps the best insect and_ rodent-repellent there is, Semesan. This is a mercurial preparation which acts as a disinfectant as well as repellent to rodents or to any insects which might affect the plant during its period of growth in the spring. It is suggested that you use a I per cent liquid Semesan solution, that is, I ounce of Semesan to I gallon of water, soaking the bulbs for a period of 15 minutes before planting. Semesan is offered in this catalogue on the insecticide pages. 2 ozs. 50 cts., lb. $2.75, 5 lbs. $13, 25 lbs. $56.25. ( Not mailable — sent by express only.)
Material for Bulb Fertilization and for Building up Soil Structure
SAWCO BULB FERTILIZER. The professional gardener who plants bulbs in solid blocks in borders frequently, in early October, works well-rotted manure to the depth of 1 foot into the soil, spading it over several times so as to thoroughly incorporate it, and thereby build up the soil-fertility as well as the humus-content. The average home-owner finds it difficult to get this manure to build up his soil, and unless he is well experienced the use of well-rotted horse or cow manure is dangerous, as the preparation of the ground must be carefully done and the manure must be entirely decayed before any bulbs are planted.
To meet this situation, we suggest the use of a high-grade bulb fertilizer which con¬ tains, in proper analysis, the plant-food for the roots of the bulbs to feed on. We offer Sawco Bulb Fertilizer in the following quantities and suggest that it be broadcasted on the land and worked in with a spade several days before the planting of the bulbs, and that it be used at the rate of 5 pounds for 100 square feet of planting area. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. $1.75, 50 lbs. $3, 100 lbs. $5, 500 lbs. $20, ton $70.
SAWCO BRAND GRANULATED PEAT FIBRE. This brand of Granulated Peat Fibre is excellent for mixing with the soil as a mulch for bulb or rose-beds. It is also particularly good for growing bulbs indoors, there being nothing better, especially in the case of liliums. Mix one-third to one-half of peat with the soil for this purpose. Use it on bulb-beds in the spring to keep the ground cool and on rose-beds during the summer for the same reason. We offer tightly compressed, burlapped, slatted, wire- bound bales, measuring 40 x 27 x 22 inches, weighing approximately 175 pounds, con¬ taining 8 to 9 bushels, or enough to cover xoo square feet to a depth of 2]A inches, at $5 per bale; in lots of 5 bales at $4 per bale; in lots of 10 bales at $3.50 per bale. (Write for prices on carload lots.) Small sample bale (size about 20 pounds) §1.50 each.
