A VIEW IN ouR NursSeRY, WHERE WE GRoW HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS BY THE ACRE.

F all the plants that are cultivated for purely ornamental purposes there are none which have made such rapid strides in public favor as the Old-fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers, the inhabitants of the perennial garden. Their popularity is not at all surprising when we consider the many varied and pleasant changes which take place throughout the entire

growing season in a well-arranged hardy border, in which every week—yes, every day—brings forth something fresh and new to interest and delight even the most critical. Beginning in April, the early-flowering varieties open their flowers often before the snow has entirely disappeared, and continue, with constant changing variety, throughout the summer until late in the fall, when only severe freezing weather will stop such persistent late-blooming kinds as Japanese Anemones, Pompon Chrysanthemums,

Gaillardias, Gentians, Tritomas, etc.

Twenty years ago there were very few Hardy Perennial Borders outsi:le of some large establishments where one or more pro- fessional gardeners were employed, who were familiar with the beauties of the hardy borders as found in almost every garden on the other side of the Atlantic, and who knew how to plan, and plant, and care for them. but a great change has taken place in

this country within the last ten ye: id there is now a steady and growing interest in this class of plants, and to-day almost

everyone who is fortunate enough to have even a small garden devotes at least a part of it to hardy plants.

: = : = : e has, in a measure, been created by the many books on Gardening published in recent years, almost every one of

This chang g

> which included a chapter or more on the hardy border, while some of them were devoted exclusively to hardy plants. The Tlorticultural Press has also been a great factor in stimulating interest in hardy plants. Unfortunately, while nearly all of the books and magazine articles give glowing descriptions of the delights of the Hardy Border and describe in detail many of the plants, none, as far as we know, give any drawings or plans showing how such a border should be made, or showing the proper location for the various plants in same. ‘The usual excuse for this omission was that each garden demanded special treatment, and that no plan or set of plans could be used for any great number of places, and while this is in some cases true, we feel sure that the several plans which we have had prepared by a practical Landscape Artist, and which embody a great many of our own ideas, and which are reproduced on pages 8 and 9 of this book, will enable many amateurs to undertake the making of a hardy border

who have until now been deterred from doing so by not knowing how to go about it.

g >

The plants which we have selected to fill the various sections in the borders illustrated are the kinds that always do well and are most likely to give satisfactory results. Some planters may prefer to make their own selection, and we like to encourage this, as it gives to every border a touch of individuality, and to make this easy we give on pages 2 to 7 and 1] to 17 a complete alphabetical list of the hardy plants we offer this season, together with their color, average height of growth, time of flowering. and whether suited for a sunny or shady location. This list should make it comparatively easy, even for a novice, to make a selection to fill a

bed of any size or shape without making a serious blunder.

We strongly recommend that all hardy borders should have a few clumps of spring-flowering bulbs interspersed along the front, including Snowdrops, Scillas, Chionodoxas, Crocus, Narcissus, Cottage Garden Tulips, Spanish Iris, ete., ete. These should be planted from September to November, and will greatly add to the interest of the border during the early spring months. We also suggest the putting of a few clusters of Annuals here and there throughout the border to add color during the

t summer months. For this purpose there is nothing better than Marigolds, Gaillardias, Zinnias, Antirrhinums, etc., etc., a few

seeds of which can be sown during May in the spaces where they are wan‘ed to bloom.

THE MAKING AND CARE OF AN OLD-FASHIONED HARDY BORDER.

Frequent are the discussions and many are the ideas concerning their cultivation and the best method of arranging them in the garden. In arranging hardy flowers one should never forget the ways of Nature, choosing the flowers she uses in the positions she thinks most suitable, while endeavoring to conceal stiffness of arrangement by a careful study of her plans and the judicious

use of the beautiful hardy plants at our disposal.

Many not thoroughly familiar with this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a large field-grown clump will give satisfac- tory returns the first season. This, as experience has taught us, is in most instances a mistake. A vigorous plant of proper size will, in nearly every case, give quicker and better returns than the best so-called ‘field clumps.’? The majority of the stock offered in this catalogue is pot-grown. This does not mean that the plants have been altogether pot-grown, but that they have been field-grown and dug and potted up during the fall months, and such stock can be planted, even late in the spring, with prac- tically no loss, which, in the case of clumps, is often quite serious. The following letter from the well-known and successful

amateur, W. C. Egan, endorses our views on this matter, EGANDALE, ILL.

GENTLEMEN—Your shipment of perennials arrived safely to-day in most excellent order. It certainly is a pleasure, as well as a profit, to receive plants from you. Your system of growing these in pots allows shipment without disturbing the roots, thus insur-

ing uninterrupted growth and no loss in planting. Respectfully yours, W. C. Eean.

It is possible that some of our customers may wish to plant a hardy border, part of which is in the shade and part in the sun. In such cases the sections which are shady should be filled with plants recommended for such locations, and if customers, in ordering, will state which sections are in shade, we will send the proper plants for same. Unless otherwise specified we will fill all orders with the plants suitable for sunny borders.

The prices at which we offer the above stock are considerably below the regular rates, as in anticipation of a large demand for these collections we have prepared an extensive stock of the various varieties. We make no charge for packing, which will be done in the most scientific manner, nor for delivery to any express or transportation line in Philadelphia, but the cost for express- age must be paid by the purchaser.

With each order we will include a blue print of the border wanted, drawn to scale, and a carefully prepared planting-plan, which will enable the most inexperienced amateur to set the various plants in their proper positions.

In preparing your border, see that it is deeply dug and fertilized, as suggested in the cultural notes on page 1. Have your beds ready in advance of the receipt of the plants, so that they may be planted promptly on their arrival. After you have pre- pared your border in accordance with the instructions given on page 1 level the surface neatly with a rake, and then mark out the different sections. A cane is as convenient a tool for this purpose as can be used. Place the plants in position in their various sections. Then plant and cultivate as recommended in the cultural notes in the opening pages of this book.

EER’S AWN GRASS SEEDS

tions, and are now used in every section of the country.

The lawns at the Alaska=Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held

QO: special brands of Lawn Grass Seed, offered below, are noted for their adaptability to various situations and soil condi-

during the summer of 1909, were made with ‘‘ Dreer Lawn Grass,”’

and we were awarded a Gold Medal for same.

Many other prizes have been awarded us for Grass Seeds, including a Gold Medal by the Pan-American Exposition, held at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901; but what is most satisfactory to us is the fact that they always give satisfactory results to our cus-

tomers wherever sown.

THE ‘‘ DREER”’ LAWN GRASS.

This is by far the best mixture of grasses offered for the pur- pose of quickly producing a permanent lawn. It is prepared from our own formula, and is a careful blending of varieties | adapted to producing the thick growth and velvety appearance so much sought after. Per qt., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight—Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; peck, $1.25; bus. (20 Ibs. ), $5.00.

DREER’S SHADY PLACE GRASS.

Usually it is quite difficult to obtain a satisfactory growth of grass under trees and in shady places; for sowing in such places we recommend the use of this special mixture. It will quickly produce an abundant and even growth of beautiful green grass. Per qt., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight —Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; peck, $1.25; bus. (20 lbs.), $5.00.

DREER’S SEASHORE LAWN GRASS.

A combination of hardy grasses and white clover adapted for seashore lawns. Failures and unsatisfactory conditions of most lawns at the seashore are largely due to the use of varie- ties totally unsuited to the conditions existing. We recommend this mixture as the best for sowing at the seashore. Per qt., 30 cts., postpaid. By express or freight—Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; peck, $1.25: bus. (20 lbs.), $5.00.

DREER’S TERRACE GRASS.

Ordinary lawn grass will not hold the soil on terraces and embankments, which require a thick turf, composed of varie- ties which make strong roots to take hold of the soil and pre- vent washing by heavy rains. Our terrace grass is a combina- tion of such grasses, and will fill the requirements by making a quick growth of grass, forming a close mat and presenting a fine appearance. Per qt., 30 cts., postpaid, By express or freight—Qt., 25 cts.; 4 qts., 75 cts.; peck, $1.25; bus. (20

Ibs.), $5.00.

DREER’S ‘‘ EVERGREEN’? LAWN GRASS.

This special mixture produces beautiful and permanent lawns. It is made from our own formula, and composed of grasses which are adapted for the purpose of producing turf which re- tains its rich green color and velvety appearance throughout the entire summer and fall. Per qt., 25 cts., postpaid. By ex- press or freight—Qt., 20 cts.; 4 qts., 65 cts.; peck, $1.00; bus. (20 lbs.), $4.00.

DREER’S ‘“‘ FAIRMOUNT” PARK LAWN GRASS.

This mixture is well suited for various soil conditions, giving good results even in small city grass plots, where the soil is generally stiff and heavy. Also valuable for renovating old worn-out lawns and reseeding bare places. Per qt., 20 cts., postpaid. By express or freight—Qt., 15 cts.; 4 qts., 55 cts.; peck, 90 cts.; bus. (20 Ibs.), $3.50.

DREER’S PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE.

A careful study of the requirements for making the most sub- stantial turf for Putting Greens developed the mixture herewith offered by us for this purpose. It has given thorough satisfac- tion wherever used, and produces a thick, tough, beautiful green turf. Per qt., 35 cts., postpaid. By express or freight—Qt., 30 cts.; 4 qts.. $1.00; peck, $1.75; bus. (25 lbs.), $7.00.
