at Jersey City. The Carlton Hill Station is only five minutes’ walk from our Office and Nurseries.

OUR SHIPPING FACILITIES. We are admirably located to ship to all parts of the country, being
only 8 miles from New York City. We can ship by express and freight via Erie Railroad from Rutherford,

EVERGREENS AND CONIFERS

Planting and Cultural Instructions

While we have given prices at the each and ten
rate, we can supply many of the varieties in 100 and
1,000 lots.

Abies concolor. See page 2

ANY inquiries concerning the proper care of evergreens are continually being addressed to us,
so we have prepared the following directions for all who are interested.

All our evergreens are grown in soil which develops a good fibrous root system, and we dig
each plant with a ball of earth, which is then securely wrapped in burlap. This treatment
enables us to send plants long dis-
tances without injury, and when
planted there will be no check in
growth. As soon as plants are re-
ceived, unpack immediately, except in
drying, windy weather, when they
should be unpacked only as needed for planting.

The future success or failure of a plant depends
entirely on the manner of planting it, so the utmost
care should be taken to have conditions just right. Dig
a hole very much larger than the ball of earth and
loosen the surrounding soil. Mix well-rotted cow-ma-
nure with the soil if you can get it; if not, some other
well-decayed manure will do. Never use fresh, or half-
decomposed manure, as it is likely to burn the roots
and thus kill the plant. Soak the soil thoroughly if
you do your planting in dry weather, and an occasional
spraying and soaking through the summer will be of
great benefit. Loosen the surface soil about the plant
to a depth of 2 to 3 inches; this will aid in retaining
moisture. Never let it cake. Plant in spring or early
autumn.

The value of an evergreen is not only decided by its
height, but by its general shapeliness and compactness.

Some varieties must be clipped to make them sym-
metrical, and this should be done in spring when the
new growth starts.

We cannot too strongly recommend the planting of
evergreens. No home-grounds are complete without
them. They are alike beautiful in winter and summer;
in winter they supply the only living green in the land-
scape, and in summer their rich, dark green foliage
forms a lovely contrast with that of the deciduous trees
and shrubs. They make a beautiful background for
any home and, planted anywhere, give a dignified
appearance that is not to be produced by any other
class of trees or shrubs.

Border of Hybrid Rhododendrons

HARDY BROAD-LEAVED FLOWERING

EVERGREENS

HE RHODODENDRONS, with their rich green foliage and magnificent flowers, are the hand-
somest of all the broad-leaved evergreens. They add distinctiveness to any planting. Many plant-
lovers think that they are difficult to grow, but this is not the case, if native varieties are used
and proper soil and care are given. The varieties we offer are absolutely hardy and will withstand
our most severe winters and summers if the cultural directions below are followed.

Select a shady location for the Maximum varieties and give the Catawbiense varieties an open
situation where they will get some sun. Protect both varieties from the force of the prevailing
winds. A group of hardy evergreens on the north and west, sufficiently distant not to interfere
with the roots, will protect them from the worst winds. If this is not practical, some evergreen
boughs placed between the plants are very effective in breaking cold winds and protecting them
from the sun’s rays in March and April. Always plant in groups, as this will protect the soil from frost and give
them the same conditions that they have in their natural habitat.

The soil in which Rhododendrons are to be grown is a most important factor in their successful culture. A light
garden loam is best, but if clay soil must be used, lighten it with sand. Leaf-mold, decayed sod, or surface soil
that has been heavily manured the previous year — all are good. If possible, dig the soil to a depth of at least 24
inches before winter, and allow to settle for spring planting.

Make the Rhododendron beds at least feet deep, mixing the soil with decomposed cow-manure or leaf-mold,
and then place your plants in groups in the most effective manner. All plants should be thoroughly soaked in
water previous to planting. A mulch of about 4 inches of leaves or well-rotted manure (never fresh manure)
will help conserve the moisture which is so necessary to successful Rhododendron culture. Allow weeds to grow
until they are large enough to be pulled by hand — never hoe the soil about the plants as the roots are near the
surface. In the fall, after the ground has been slightly frozen, mulch the soil between the plants to a depth of 8
inches with leaves. This will protect the roots from the most severe frosts, and after a time the leaves will begin
to decay and form leaf-mold — the best fertilizer for Rhododendrons.

In May and June your Rhododendrons will be a mass of beautiful flowers — the Catawbiense varieties bloom-
ing from mid-May until mid-June, when the Maximums are at their best. As soon as the flowers have fallen,
remove the seed-pods.

If you want to make a planting of Rhododendrons on your home-grounds, we shall be glad to give you advice.
Our experts have spent a lifetime in raising Rhododendrons, having grown many thousands of them from seedlings
and grafts to full-grown plants. They know all about them, and can give you valuable advice about soil, location,
and varieties.

All our Rhododendrons are grown in our own Nurseries, so we know exactly what varieties to recommend
for any locality. Our plants are sure to grow if you give them proper care.

RHODODENDRON catawbiense. This attractive
variety is the parent of the majority of our best
hybrids and worthy in every way. In hardiness it is
supreme, being a native of this country, and for
groups and mass planting, it should be used much
more extensively. It is very prolific in blooming,
and the flowers, borne in very large, round trusses,
are seen in various shades of delicate pink the early
part of June. The foliage is very decorative, being
rather round and deep shining green in color.
It forms a magnificent isolated specimen keeping
its lower branches and develops into a rugged,
globe-shaped bush. These prices are for nursery-

grown stock.

AZALEAS (See, also, page 81)

The following varieties of Azaleas (lately classified under Rhododendrons) are generally known as Japanese
Azaleas, and owe their origin largely to China and Japan.

On account of the large number of varieties and many shades of colors, they should be ranked with the very
handsomest and best hardy, broad-leaved, flowering Evergreens. We have experimented with a collection of
varieties which at one time we grew in our Nurseries, and by careful selection and discarding, one by one, those
that were inferior, we have now an elite collection of kinds and varieties which we are growing in large quantities.
Many of them so far have not found their way into American gardens.

Many a little corner of the home-grounds that has lost its interest can easily be turned into an attractive, cozy
spot by brightening it up and relieving its dullness with a proper selection of the most suitable and brilliant colors.
These Evergreen Azaleas should be used extensively in groups with the hardy broad-leaved Evergreens. For rock-
gardens they are particularly unexcelled. For forcing or conservatory decoration they are invaluable.

We wish our patrons to become better acquainted with these interesting groups of Evergreen Azaleas. Many
plant-lovers may think that they are difficult of cultivation, but this is not the case, if ordinary garden soil and
care are given. Among the varieties we are offering, many are absolutely hardy and will withstand our most
severe winters and hot, dry summers, while others again are less hardy and need protection during our severe
winters. A mulching of well-decayed cow-manure, or leaf-mold placed between the plants and a cover of Hemlock
or Pine branches, laid loose over the top, is all that is necessary. This protection is advisable for hardy varieties.

Kinds marked with an asterisk need special protection in our northern states.

BUXUS sempervirens. Common Tree Box. Is so
deservedly popular as to need no description. It
always has been and still is essentially a home plant.
The glossy, aromatic foliage is always fresh and
green, and, because of this, it is widely used for
edging, formal gardens, tub specimens, etc. All the
various forms are compact growers, and we can
supply bushes, either clipped or in natural form,
in many sizes and shapes. This being one of our
specialties, we would like you to inspect our stock,
as there is probably no other collection so com-
plete. In very exposed positions, it is best to afford
a little protection in winter, otherwise no special
attention is needed.

Shrubs are as essential to the beauty of the home
grounds as furniture is to the comfort of the home itself.

DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE

TREES

WHILE the collection of trees growing in our Nurseries is very extensive, and comprises almost
every variety of any value, we have used extra precaution in the compilation of the following
list, selecting only such kinds as possess distinctive decorative merit, and are suitable for lawn,
park, avenue and street plantings. Deciduous trees can be safely planted in spring, after the
frost has left the ground, before new growth has appeared, and in the autumn, after the foliage
and wood ripen, until the ground freezes in winter. We cannot too strongly impress upon intend-
ing purchasers the importance of the proper preparation of the ground before planting. The
popular method of squeezing a fine, healthy tree into a hole half the size in diameter of the roots,
afterward filling in with hard-pan, has proved, beyond doubt, the common cause of failure, which
is generally attributed to some fault or deficiency of the tree.

To insure successful results, the ground should be properly prepared previous to planting, enriching the soil,
if necessary, with well-decayed manure. The hole should be dug at least 2 feet wider in diameter than the ball of
roots; the depth will be governed by the nursery soil-line as indicated on stem. The roots should be spread out
in a natural way, filling in with fine soil and firmly pressing.

If you are not ready to plant the trees promptly upon their arrival, they should be immediately unpacked and
heeled-in. This means opening a trench, placing the trees in an upright position, and thoroughly covering the
roots with fine soil, pressing down firmly, which will prevent drying out of the roots. Do not unpack trees if weather
is freezing. Should they arrive in a frozen condition or during severe weather, put them in a cool place, free from
frost, until perfectly thawed. If deciduous trees or shrubs are delayed in transit, so as to become dried or shriveled,
they should be completely buried — roots, trunk and branches — allowing them to remain several days before planting.

Trees marked with an asterisk (*) are of a pendulous or weeping habit

ACER. Maple. No family of trees is more widely
used for general purposes than the Maples. This
is not only because of the large number of species,
but because of the fine effects produced in general
outline and fall tints, so valuable to the landscape
designer. The foliage gives a pleasing shade and
is retained until late fall.

campestre. Shrub or small tree of slow, dense
growth, with dull green leaves and corky branches.
Fine variety where a small tree is desired and
one that thrives in dry ground. 8 to 9 ft., $2.50
each.

cappadocicum horticola (colchicum rubrum).

An attractive species from Japan. Medium-sized
tree of rounded form; color of young growth and
foliage bright crimson; later dark green, turning
to bronze. A splendid sort to plant with green-
foliaged varieties for contrast. 10 to 12 ft., $3.50
each.

Acer dasycarpum (saccharinum ). White or Silver-
leaved Maple. Large-sized tree; rapid grower.
Foliage deeply cut, five-lobed, bright green above
and silvery white underneath. A good all-round
tree as it adapts itself to a variety of soils and

conditions.

DECIDUOUS FLOWERING SHRUBS

RREGULAR massing is the most picturesque method of shrub planting, and a selection of varieties
suitable for every requirement can be made from the following extensive list.

Should the shrubs arrive in a frozen condition, thaw out gradually in a cool place.

When planting, the best way to maintain a balance between roots and branches is to cut the
latter back to half their length. The holes should be made large enough to allow the roots to be
spread out in a natural way. Firm planting is essential to the future well-being of the shrubs.
Leave a shallow depression around the plant, so that water will not flow away. The top-soil should
be kept loose to a depth of 2 to 3 inches; this aids in retaining the moisture. Annual pruning should
be done directly after flowering. The old, scraggy wood and spindly shoots should be cut out. If
heavy bushes are desired, we have many specimens that will produce immediate effect.

We fill every order with shrubs dug fresh from our Nurseries, as winter storing decreases their vitality.

For our patrons not well acquainted with these deciduous flowering shrubs and who find it rather
difficult to make their selection, we offer for corner, border, foundation, or screen planting the following:

Azalea

AZALEA. See, also, page 81. For brilliant coloring
and profusion of bloom, there are no other shrubs
that can rival the Azaleas. When in bloom the
whole bush is one mass of color, varying in soft-
ness, according to variety, from pure soft solid
tone to flaming tints of the Mollis varieties. With
conditions similar to hybrid rhododendrons, i. e.,
semi-shady and moist, they flourish remarkably
well and any extra care, such as a mulch of leaf-
mold each fall, will be repaid by a wonderful floral
display the following spring.

effect; for best results should be treated similarly.

Hedge Plants

A Barberry Hedge is a thing of beauty the year round

HEDGE PLANTS

From the following list a hedge of any description can be selected, either formal, natural or defensive. The
hedge is a part of the grounds and garden, and in every way is more picturesque than an artificial fence.

As a general rule, hedge plants should be planted low and firm, so that the branches from the main stem ap-
parently spring from the ground. In this way a solid hedge is acquired. In planting California Privet for hedge
purposes, it is well to set the plants an inch or two deeper than the union of the lower branches with the main
stem. This causes the plants to sprout close to the ground and form a close, thick hedge.

If a dense hedge is desired, prune back hard for two or three years, as this encourages growth from the base.
Where a wide hedge is required, dig a trench not less than 2 feet wide, and pi ace the plants alternately at
the distances noted in parentheses.

Hardy Vines

BOBBINK 6- ATKINS, RUTHERFORD, N. J.

HARDY VINES

Field- and Pot-Grown

ARDY Vines and Climbers do much toward beautifying a home in covering banks and bare spots,
and giving beautiful shade and fragrance to the pergola and veranda. There is a charming diversity
of habit and variety, so that kinds may be selected to harmonize with every surrounding. By care-
ful selection, a succession of bloom may be had.

Some vines are best suited for shade, while others are distinctly of value for the embellishment
they give to the house, porch or veranda, by reason of the large, beautiful flowers they bear. Among
these might be specially mentioned the various large-flowering Clematis and the different forms of
Wisteria. Most of them require some support, but the Ampelopsis, Hedera, etc., climb by aerial
rootlets and will cling to brick, stone or rough wood surfaces. These are very useful for softening
the rough corners of the house, and are of decided benefit to a wall inclined to be damp.

The vines should be firmly planted in a deep, rich soil, afterward watering thoroughly. An occasional top-
dressing of decayed manure will assist them in making a strong growth.

ACTINIDIA arguta. Japanese climbing plant, with
shining, dark green foliage. Flowers white, with
purplish center, covering the whole vine. Edible
fruits. Pot-grown plants, 75 cts. each, $6.50

ing walls, large trellises and screens. It has

HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS

m

Y THIS term is meant such plants as may be allowed to remain permanently in the open ground,
whose foliage dies down to, or near, the ground each autumn, coming forth again with renewed
vigor the following spring. We are pleased to inform our patrons that we have many acres planted
with the finest varieties, and we are constantly searching for and adding new and rare varieties
of merit to our extensive collection.

Hardy plants have many claims, both practical and artistic, and their cultivation in this country
is having a wonderful development. It is easy and simple to grow a large and choice collection, as
very little care, if any, is needed — a fairly good soil, with occasional enrichings and a little cultivation.

Among the Hardy Perennials there is such a variety in color and time of blooming that a con-
tinuous, pleasing effect can be had from early spring to late fall by a judicious selection of varie-
ties. They may be set out either in fall or spring. We have indicated the time of flowering, also the height of
the plant, in order to facilitate the selection for any purpose. The approximate height of the Hardy Perennials
in this catalogue is represented in feet and inches, and the flowering periods are taken in the vicinity of New York.

^CHRYSANTHEMUMS, HARDY. When planted in
sheltered locations, particularly at the base of
walls, buildings, or shrubbery, the Hardy or

These varieties have been selected from an

IRIS

To many home-ground gardeners in America, the word Iris brings up mind-pictures of merely two or three
of the most common varieties — kinds that are either native to that particular locality or have become natu-
ralized in the course of time. To such flower-lovers we urge a close first-hand acquaintance with as large a num-
ber of the magnificent varieties in the following lists as can be accommodated in the planting-space available.
There is a stateliness and splendor about these improved varieties that taxes one's powers of description to the
utmost; a range of color and form of flower that is simply marvelous; and the only danger to be combated in Iris-
growing is that there is a possibility of becoming so enthusiastic about them as to plant only Irises to the
exclusion of everything else! But that's a risk we have to run. and we do it gladly that we may make it pos-
sible for you to gain new friends in this wonderful family and acquire an Iris bed that will be not only a source
of real joy to you but a Mecca for the flower-lovers of your community.

IRIS GERMANICA

German Iris; Fleur-de-Lis
It is probable that the greatest range of color is
found in this section — from pure white through all
shades of mauve to blue and dark purple; the flowers
are regular orchids in beauty and structure and they
have a delicate fragrance that seems to be only a natural
accompaniment of such wonderful blooms. A well-
drained. sunny location, with the rhizomes just covered
with soil is about all the planting advice needed. In
the descriptions following, “S” represents standards or
upper petals; “F” falls or lower petals.

GENERAL LIST OF GERMAN IRIS

Here are gathered together the “novelties” of
other years that have “made good.” It is an oppor-
tunity for the grower who is not interested partic-
ularly in having the newest things on the market to
acquire a bed of these magnificent improved varie-
ties at a comparatively low cost. A few in this list
are yet rare, or are of exceptional merit, and the
price of such is above the average. Vou will find,
however, that whatever the price of the Iris named
below, they are worth far more to you in enjoyment
when they show their beautifully colored, orchid-
like flowers at bloom-time. Be liberal in selection;
you won t regret it! We have based our prices
according to the value of each variety.

IRIS LAEVIGATA (KAEMPFERI)

Japanese Iris

This section of the Iris family embraces wonderful
colorings, vivid yet harmonious; all the colors of the
rainbow seem to have been gathered together in
them in the most fascinating combinations. The
great size of the flowers is noteworthy, it being not
at all unusual to have blooms 6 to 8 inches across,
while there are plenty of instances on record where
these marvelous flowers have reached the enormous
size of 12 inches across.

A good, well-drained soil will encourage sturdy
growth and amazing blooms if they are given plenty
of water during the dry season. They come into bloom
right after the German Iris and are at their best in July.

We have based our prices according to the value
of each variety. A 2- to 3-year-old plant has been
growing in the field 2 to 3 years.

“RUTHERFORD PARK” LAWN GRASS SEED

Our “Rutherford Park’’ Mixture will make a close, thick turf in a very few weeks. It roots deeply, enabling
it to withstand severe droughts, consequently maintaining its beautiful rich green color the entire season. The
“Rutherford Park” is no doubt the cheapest Lawn Grass seed offered; not particularly on account of the price,
but more from a point of quality and quantity of seed to the bushel, which contains 21 pounds of the finest kinds
and varieties of grasses used for lawn purposes. We believe this mixture to be among the best now on the market,
and would ask our customers carefully to consider this before placing their orders.

We will supply any quantity our customers may desire to meet the needs of the ground on which it is to be
sown. The quantity required for making new lawns is 4 to 5 bushels to the acre; for renovating old lawns, 1 to
2 bushels. For a new plot 1 5 x 25 feet, or 375 square feet, two quarts are required, and one quart for renovating
old lawns of the same dimensions.

35 cts. per qt., $2 per pk., $7.50 per bus.

Fruit Trees

BOBBINK & ATKINS, RUTHERFORD, N. J.

FRUIT TREES

LL FRUIT TREES need good drainage. To obtain best results, be liberal with cultivation and
well-decomposed manure. For an orchard grow a green crop and plow it under in spring, after-
wards harrowing.

Do not plant the tree as you receive it, but prune all broken and bruised roots, and cut out

all but four or five strong branches to form a well-shaped head. These may then be shortened to

about a half-dozen good buds. With Peaches, the side branches should be cut back to one bud,
and the main stem reduced about one-third.

Dig the hole, roughly, 3 feet in diameter, to admit the roots in their natural position, breaking
up the subsoil. Sprinkle the finest and best soil over the roots, filling all crevices. When the hole
is almost full, it is wise to pack the soil firmly around the roots, then fill up and tread lightly, mak-
ing the tree rigid and upright. When finished, the tree should be as deep as it was previously in the nursery.

A mulch of 4 to 5 inches of coarse manure will be highly beneficial to the trees, and will prevent injury from

drought. When established, aim to keep the head open to allow a free circulation of air and plenty of sunshine.
Annual pruning should be done in spring before the buds burst. Keep the main stem clean by occasionally rubbing
off the young shoots.

just-ripe, rich, luscious fruit you pick from your own plants. The very thought of those plump, sweet-acid deli-

your mouth water.”

out as early as possible this fall and you will have your reward next summer in the full crop of berries that will be
produced.

Set the plants 10 inches apart in the rows, and the rows 18 to 24 inches apart.

DAHLIAS

During recent years, the Dahlia has rapidly grown
in favor, with its many new and improved forms. There
are indeed few flowers so pure and rich in color or so
graceful and decorative as Dahlias. They are the most
important summer- and autumn-flowering tubers.
When planted in a new and virgin soil, best results
are obtained. The popular idea is that the larger the
tuber the better plant it makes, but this is not true,
as in most cases the best results have been obtained
by using small tubers and potted plants. The varieties
offered will be ready to send out between April 15 and
the beginning of May.

PLANT-TUBS AND BOXES FOR PORCHES

AND LAWNS

Much can be said in praise of the wood our tubs are made from, namely, “Heart Cypress,” but briefly
it has proved to be decidedly superior to all other woods, not only in durability but in appearance. It does not
need a coating as a filler, as the wood naturally contains a certain amount of oil. Consequently it does not warp
shrink, or swell, and in general it is the wood for plant-tubs.

Our workmanship on these tubs is equally good. No tub goes from our shops that has not been thoroughly
made, and made to last for years, and our tubs are serviceable for practically every situation.

Sometimes architectural features will call for a more decorative tub, and for such purposes we have designed
various other kinds in addition to the ordinary round tub.

Among them the most popular are the square tubs Nos. 1, 2, 12, 13, No. 13 being illustrated here. The
prices have been computed so as to be as low as it is possible to make them, consistent with the quality of
tub we turn out.

If you need tubs, buy good ones, and they will last you for many years. Most tubs, of course, look alike in
the store when they are freshly painted, but it is only after using them for a year or so that their value can be realized.

Bobbink & Atkins’ tubs are made not only to look nice, but to last. The designs here mentioned are a few
of the many that we make. If you need a special design, we can make it, and will be glad at any time to quote you
a price upon any size you may need, if you will be kind enough to furnish a rough sketch showing desired shape.
