Whoever intends to transplant trees or other plants naturally wishes to do so at the most suitable time, when possible—that jy at a time when the plant or plants in question will receive the least shock by the moving. There are many sorts of plants which can be transplanted at any time, others that seem to be g constituted that special care at special times is required to get the best results. | . ; ; | As nurserymen we get much practical experience in thi matter of transplanting, especially of hardy trees and other hard plants and we are convinced that the following classes of plants can be set out to special advantage at the times noted. | September. Evergreen-trees, azaleas, rhododendrons, most hardy her. baceous plants, such as paeonies, iris, phlox, larkspur, etc., tree. paeonies, currants, strawberry plants. October. All of the above, also all deciduous fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, roses, etc., whose foliage has matured, also Holland bulbs and other hardy lilies. November. All the above noted and all deciduous trees with the possible exception of tulip and birch trees which seem to do better planted in the Spring. - December. | Very often we have this month comparatively free from freezing weather in which case about all deciduous fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, roses, etc., etc., can be planted to advantage. There are a number of exceptions to the general rule and we are always glad to give advice to those who ask for it. We publish annually a very complete catalogue of our trees. and other plants. This catalogue is compiled with great cart, the latest botanical classifications being used as well as the popular names. We believe all who are interested in hardy plants will find this catalogue useful and interesting. Copits sent free to all who apply. Quality. Buying trees and other plants is much like buying othe! merchandise in this respect—we very justly seek to obtain tht best for the money invested. Inno other line of merchandist, however, is the question of superzor quality of more vital impotl ance than with nursery stock, or so difficult for the buyer determine. Quality not only depends upon stock being wel grown, vigorousand healthy, but toanimportant degree upon tht care with which it is dug, handled when out of the ground and tht manner with which it is packed anddelivered. This shows plainlj that the quality of stock the purchaser receives depends to a larg degree upon the integrity of the nurseryman and his business tacil: ities. Appreciating this important fact, it has been our constail endeavor to so position ourselves that we could handle our rapidly increasing business with facilities which make it certain that we cal guarantee our customers the all important consideration, gual), The Elm City Nursery Company, Landscape Gardeners and Nurserymen, TELEPHONE.

The first of a new race of roses, originated by M. Pernet-Ducher. It is the result of a cross between the well-known Persian Yellow and the Hybrid Perpetual Antoine Ducher, and is characterized by M. Pernet as a perpetual flowering variety. We append the description from the originator : “This magnificent variety, like the Persian Yellow is perfectly hardy. It retains a good deal of the character of the Persian Yellow, ‘the bark of the wood being reddish, the thorns very fine, the foliage more ample, and the leaves of a beautiful clear green, are close to- gether. Its growth is robust, very vigorous, making plants three feet in height. The flowers are large, full and globular, measuring 3% inches across, and fragrant; budsconical shaped ; color superb, varying from gold and orange-yellow to reddish-gold, shaded with nasturtium red. The color stands the sun well.’’ This should bea very valuable rose. Price strong field grown plants $1.00 each, per 10, $8.50. Lighter grade plants 75 cts. each, per Io, £6.25. Mew Climbing js. Dorothy Perkins. In this rose we have an ideal companion for the now universally popular Crimson Rambler. T his rose, if possible, is even a more vigorous grower than the Crimson, has a far more brilliant glossy, green foliage, which is retained late into the fall, and the blooms which are produced in the greatest possible profusion, are of that clear, silvery, lively pink, so much sought for in a hardy rose. This rose is sure to be a great favorite. Heavy field grown plants, $1.00 each, $8.50 per Io. Lighter grade plants, $.50 each, $4.25 per Io. | Gea bhlox Coquelicof. The French word for poppy ; so called on account of its brilliant color—bright orange-scarlet—almost the exact shade of an oriental poppy. Exceedingly brilliant, being the brightest phlox yet intro- duced. Price strong field grown 25 cts. each, $2.25 per Io. Lighter grade, 15 cts. each, $2.25 per Io. Garden Daisy S hasta e These wonderful daisies of which a great deal has been written in the horticultural press the last year, are the work of Mr. Luther Burbank of California, to Whom we are indebted for so many fine introductions. Flowers are of the purest glistening white, of enor- mous size—about four inches in diameter—and are borne on long, strong, stiff, wiry stems, about two feet in length. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, plants remaining in bloom for several months. They are perfectly hardy perennials, blooming better and more abundantly each season, and will make a valuable addition to our list of hardy perennials on account of the abundance of flowers produced and their wonderful size. For cutting, the flowers are very effective. Prof. Bailey of Cornell University, who has seen this growing in Mr. Burbank’s grounds in California, states, “Tf it bears out its promise in other climates, it will be joy to the garden.’’ This last summer it has been in bloom at the nursery, andis fully up to our anticipations. Mr. Burbank states that more admi- ration has been bestowed on this Shasta daisy by visitors than upon any other flowering plant growing on his grounds, and with good reasons, for to-day no other flowers can compare with them for use- fulness. Strong field plants, 50 cts. each, $4.50 per Io. Lighter grade plants, 25 cts. each, $2.25 per Io. Special Offer. One each of the above novelties.
