-that July is the time to plant Iris and Poppies, and thet Peony time is not far eway. This circuler offers you a good selection of these three, and in addition, calls to your attention many other items, some common, some unusual, which, for verious reasons, should be purchased and planted at this time.

This is a supplement to the issue of March 15th which contains a quite com- plete list of all the plants we grow. Additional copies of that issue will gladly be sent you upon request. The usual terms and conditions apply to this circular and all prices include delivery east of the Mississippi. Add 5% for points west.

"GARDENSIDE GOSSIP"

This copy of the circular comes to you in new form, one that we hope to con- tinue to use. We think thet it will be more convenient, in this smeller size, and will be easily read. Your comments, as always, will be appreciated.

Following the severe winter this entire section has experienced a spring drought of unusuel duration. As a result many plants which were partly damaged by the cold have been very slow to start into growth, and in some cases have finally died out. As &n example of this, on June 20th some Hemerocallis are just coming up. Beyond any doubt we have sent out plants this spring which we believed alive, but which have failed to grow for the reason stated above. We shall be glad to know of any trouble you have had of this sort, and will attempt to make it right.

The drought has finally been broken by fine rains and the nursery now is at its best. The Peonies have flowered well, though some buds appear to have been blasted by the drought. Iris were not so good as usual, but one or two varieties, of which we will make note later, stood out above the others, thus proving their stronger constitution. Poppies, however, are better than usual and have been a wonderful blaze of color. We have obtained some newer varieties and will be able to sell them next year, as by their flowering they heve been proven true to name, and we cén now increase them with confidence. Luckily, our rrollius were on demp ground and we had a fine display;-the plunts, which make their growth early in the season, have done better than usual.

Chief among the items we are offering at this time, in a matter of interest, ere the Eremurus. When last we were able to offer these they were still scarce and dear. Now, we can supply good plents in ¢1l the best varieties at reasonable prices and we are sure you will want to try them.

Not long ago we had a visit with 4 man whose knowledge of Tulips and other Holland Bulbs is very extensive. 1f we could, we would like to tell you much which we learned, but one fact is most important. There cén be no cheap bulbs offered this fall. Last yeer the Dutch Government purchased and destroyed a certain part of ell bulbs produced, and in that wey reduced the surplus. Then, when the gulder in= creased in value from forty to nearly seventy cents, the wholesale price of bulbs increased with it. The reteil price can be affected by but two things: eitler the gulder must lose its present high value, or the retailer must take a smaller profit. The price is the same to every buyer in this country, but by advance ordering the likelihood of disappointment may be avoided, and because of the certainty of sale, we can afford to make lower prices for july orders. For that reason we ere offering a@ moderate selection of bulbs for advance sale only, as you will note on page 8. While it is probable thet many may be able to buy bulbs st usual prices this fall, it is also possible that a shortage mey develop and prices m&y increase. It doesn’t seem likely that they will be lower.

If you are to be in Vermont this summer we trust you will pay us 4 visit. Shelburne is six miles south of Burlington on Houte 7, the main highway between New York and montreal. Road signs direct you to us, but a short distance from this highway, just north of Shelburne Village toward burlington. The Nursery is open until five. After that hour it is safer to make an appointment.

IRIS

We have eo very fair collection of the more modern Iris. Each yeér we have bought ea few of the varieties recommended to us by authorities whose judgment we trust. Many times when these flower we do not care for them ourselves, but if the plent is vigorous, the flower lerge and striking, and it will replace some older variety which we have found good, we ‘keep it end discard the older sort. vur per- sonal taste is strongly in favor of the light blues end levenders. We were greatly pleased this year to note that of all the Iris, sur favorites,--Ambassadeur, B. Y. Morrison, Dejah, Gabriel, Souvenir de L. Michaud, Souvenir de Mme.Gaudichau and Yolande,--stood out in vigor, height, and size of bloom, where other sorts failed be- cause of the winter end the dry spring. Coronation, yellow; Indien Chief, & strik- ing red; and Frieda Mohr, a tall pink, also excelled in the other colors. We offer all of these and & good selection of other sorts in strong young rhizomes. All at 25¢ each; 10 for $2.00; 100 for $18.00, except es noted.

One veriety which we shall offer next year has flowers about 15” across when open. No other flower mekes such & dis- pley and brings so many exclametions of wonder from visitors. When they are done flowering the plants soon disappear to make room for Zinniés.end other showy annuels

which can readily be plented around them. it is during this dormsnt period, in July,

that Poppies may be most sefely moved, and we offer strong one year old field-grown plents of the following verieties for delivery es soon es the folisge ripens, at the following prices. 25¢ each; 5 for $1.00; 10 for $1.75

EREMU RUS

The Eremurus is & native of the dry uplands of the Himalayas. its hardiness comes from its exposure to the cold of the high eltitudes, but these fields are also very dry during the dorment time of the plent which is from August elmost until growth starts the next spring. It is necessary therefore to provide ample drainage facilities where these plants sre grown, and too, where lete spring frosts may be expected, protection should be given to the flower bud as it is sometimes damaged by freezing. The plents have fleshy large roots growing leterally from the crown and e lerge flat hole should be dug with & mound of send in the center, on which the crown can rest. A light soil, moderately enriched, will be most satisfactory. The flower spikes of these plents are often six feet tall and though quite strong and able to withstand winds, they will be better if protected on the north by evergreens and certainly nicely placed against such @& beckground. Soon éfter flowering, the plant disappears and something should be provided to fill the vecent spot left by it It is while the plent is dormant, after flowering is completed, that they can be “moved with sefety. We offer the following varieties for delivery when reedy, in August or September. Pleése do not ask for spring delivery.

AURANTIACA (Bungei). This variety does not grow so tell, but hes citron yellow fiowers on wiry spikes 3 to 4" high. It blossoms nearly e month leter then the taller sorts which follow. Extra lerge plants $2.00 eech; flowering size $1.50 ea. ELWESI. A very vigorous light pink sort, enormous spikes thickly set with flowers. Extra lerge plents $3.00 eech; flowering size $2.00 each.

ELWESI ALBUS. & huge variety, pure white flowers on superb stalks. Extre lerge plénts $5.00 each; flowering size $2.00 eech.

HIMALAICUS. A hardy and vigorous variety, which sometimes has 8' flower stems, one third covered with flowers. One of the older sorts and still one of the best. Extra lerge plents $3.00 each; flowering size $2.00 eéch.

ROBUSTUS. This is said to grow to s height of ten feet when happily established. The color is @ rosy pink. Extra lerge plents $3.50 each; flowering size $3.00 ea.

We cén suvply four other varieties et prices much lower then in the pest. If you wish @ complete collection we will be glad to quote on them. Of the sorts we offer, smaller sizes are aveaileble, meny of which would flower, at $1.00 e&éch.

LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA

This is the herdy Ameryllis. Its flowering habit is peculigér. A strong leafy growth eppears in the spring end is neérly ripened off by July. In lséte summer or e&rly fell e& néked flower spike bursts through the ground, meking & repid growth and finélly producing on its top an exceedingly lovely pink blossom. Some shallow rooted plent like Thyme should be used es & ground cover for these bulbs. They make a splendid combinetion with Hemerocéllis, as the leéfy growth of the lat- ter adds to the beauty of the Lycoris flower. It is finely used to edge peths even in shede, as is the Dey Lily. The bulb is perfectly herdy end grows reedily. We offer lerge bulbs of our own growing at $1.00 each, 10 for $9.00.

CORYDALIS BULBUSA

If you ere familiar with Dutchmen's Breeches and cun imegine it colored a rosy pink, you héve & very good idea of the eppeterence of this little bulbous plent. The roots resemble smell Gladioli, and are perfectly hardy in well dreined soil.

The leafy growth end the flowers appeer very e&érly in spring and by July the foliage has fully disappesred. It mey be used nicely in crevices of the rockery, later to be cowered by trailing plents, and we like it when massed with Corel Lilies or aH her smell lilies thet flower in midsummer. We egein heve a splendid stock of bulbs at 50g each; 5 for $1.75; 10 for $3.00.

LILIUM CANDIDUM

The Madonna Lily can scarcely need description. Almost everyone knows the tall white spikes es they appeer in July against @ beckground of Lerkspur, end every- one knows that the best bulbs come from the North of France 6nd are imported in late Summer, erriving usually in September. It is necessary to plent them eerly enough so thet the strong leafy fall growth cén appear before winter. This is sometimes difficult if the bulbs ere delayed in trénsit.

Last year we purchesed an extra cuantity of this lily end have some fine plents now, almost reedy to bloom. They ere of the North of France streéin, and we will be atle to ship bulbs any time efter mid-August. We advise esrly ordering to avoid disappointment.

Large bulbs 35¢ each; 10 for $3.00; 100 for $25.00.

NATIVE BULBOUS PLANTS

There are many early spring flowering, netive plents, whose bulbs or crowns méture early in summer. Precticslly ell of these flower with the first spring deys, many of them in dense woodland, which et thet season hes little if eny shede. By the time shade is dense the plent hes ripened and died ewey. For thet reeson it is not necessery to grow these plents in shede, but they mey be used where summer shade will be thick. All of these may safely and best be plented at any time now. Some of them making slight fall growth, but none show ebove the ground until next spring. Ordinary well dreined garden soil will suit them sll. We cen méke delivery et any time until September, but urge and édvise immediete ordering to permit us to obtain sufficient supplies.

BLOODROOT (Sanguinerie cenedensis)

The Bloodroot carpets rockery hillsides with its lerge flet leaves end glistening white flowers in very eérly spring. Particulerly is it likely to be found where the root cen nestle against a stone, and we often lift e flet rock to find it completely encircled with the pinkish roots of this plent. This suggests a use for it in the rock gerden, where it may be comtined with Corydelis Bulbusa or with Squirrel Corn and Dutchmen’s Breeches. Next them may be planted Tierelle or Mitella, which will carpet the bere svot leter in the seeéson.

Strong roots, 25¢ each; 3 for 50¢; 5 for 75¢; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00.

CAMASSTAS

The Camassias Gre bulbous plents of the middle West end the Pacific Coast, the more common variety being found over the greater part of the whole section. They are among the finest of bulbs for néeturelizing in the woodlend or wild gerden, and their splendid spikes reach a height of 2 to 3 ft., studded elong their length with exquisitly formed starry flowers. The succeed well in dry or damp situstions and in shade es well es in sun. ‘they should be planted in clusters of several bulbs and left undisturbed to form a large clump. ESCULENTA. Blue flowers in May. 15¢ each; 10 for $1.00; $9.00 for 100. LEICHTLINI. Taller a&nd stronger western form. Lighter blue flowers.25¢ ea;10 for

$1.5Q. DUTCHMAN'S BREECEES (Dicentra cucullaria)

These little native bulbs are a logical edornment for the bese of & stme or ledge in e rockery, for thet is where they grow neturelly. Then too, flowering so early, they come and are gone before thymes end veronices spread to fill the space. ‘they are cherming with their finely cut foliege and odd yellow-white flowers, As suggested, they may be combined with vorydelis bultusé and Lilium tenuifolium. A gritty soil of leaf mold end s&énd suits them best. D. CANADENSIS. Squirrel Corn is very similer to the preceding.

Either variety at 25¢ each; 3 for 50¢; 5 for 75g; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00

VIRGINIA COWSLIP (Mertensie virginice)

Early Mey brings the tall erching stems of Mertensia, sometimes called Bluebells, which open pink buds and turn an exquisite pale blue. During its period of growth it is cherming under shrubs or in woodland, end is.very satisfactorily massed in the border. By July it hes disappeared, and its place may be taken by such other nétives as mitellas or the Heucheras whose foliage will fill the vacant spot. Strong nursery grown roots, 25¢ each; 10 for $2.00.

STARLILY (Leucocrinum monténum)

& very early spring flower of crystal white, the size of @ crocus, forming a rosette of nerrow foliage. One lerge clump will often bear fifty blooms in one season. Hardy and satisfectory.

25¢ each; 3 for 50¢; 5 for 75¢ 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00.

WAKE ROBINS (Trilliums)

Trilliums ere charming woodland plents suitable for use under shrubs or among evergreens, es often plented about the front of a house. They ere very fine to use for north-side plenting with ferns which will cover the vacant spot they leave efter they mature in July. They are also useful for the open border and we grow them in nursery beds in full sun. All at 25¢ ea; 3 for 50g; 10 for $1.50; 100 for $10.00. ERECTUM. Common purple Trillium; Weke Robin.

GRANDIFLORUM. The gitnt White Trillium thet cerpets ecres of woodlend here. Gradually turns pink as it eges end is altogether fine. Of easy culture. UNDULATUM. Rere Painted Trillium. A netive of deep, cool shedy woods. White, With & deep reddish blotch et the center.

STYLOSUM. Called the Rose Trillium; the white petels ere tinged with thet color.

Page 6.

A number of nursery plents, which ere not netives, are very setisfaectorily transplented at this season when they ere through flowering and before they make fall growth. In one or two cases, planting at this time tends to produce flowers in fall, end & satisfactory growth is elmost sure to result and give plants more likely to winter sefely. We urge the plenting of 411 the following during mid-sum- mer whenever ordinary care cen be given.

ANEMONE VERNALIS (Glory of the Snows)

We are still urging everyone who hes speéce to do s55,to plant & good clump of these earliest of all spring flowering Anemones in the garden or rockery. While re- puted to be difficult, we find that ordinary soil, & sendy loam, not too moist, and full sun suit them perfectly, and we feel that over-fertilization end too much care may be responsible for some losses. The flowers, like furry Crocus, eppear with the first werm spring days, eéch plant sending up severél in succession. They Gre a creamy white, fading to rose with age. The foliage does not die down, and is at- tractive during the summer. They are comparatively dormant right now, end should be set out in summer or early fall, since they blossom so very early in spring.

25¢ each; 10 for $2.00.

ANEMONE PULSATILLA (Pasque Flower)

The Pasque Flower is like @ larger edition of the preceding. It flowers some- whet later and is taller and larger in all its parts. The color, however, is gene= rally a lavender blue, but we also have it in good red purple form, which is not quite so large, and also in the pure white, which is more deinty and attractive and very rare. This Anemone also should be planted at this se&éson for much the same reasons es vernalis. ‘The LAVENDER and the RED forms are priced et 25¢ each; 10 for $2.00; end the WHITE is 50¢ each.

DICENTRA SPECTABILIS (Bleeding Heart}

Bleeding Heérts are very well known, and while they heve long been used as a border plent, not everyone has tried them for massing on the north side of a buildimg or in partial shede under old fruit trees or small flowering trees in the garden. They seem to like the coolness and are more inclined to prolong their season of flowering. In spring when trees and plénts gre both in bloom, they make a cherming picture. Ripening gradually, es summer progresses, we feel they ere best trans- planted in July and August and not too lete in September, so that they cet thorough=- ly established before cold weather.

Strong field grown roots, 25¢ each; 10 for $2.00; $18.00 for 100.

DORONICUM (Leoperdbaéne)

CAUCASTICUM. The common form of Doronicum is & tall deisy-like perennial with from one to three bright yellow single flowers, about two inches &cross, on a tall slen- der stem above bright green foliage, which never gets but a few inches high. It is splendid for cutting and is a welcome touch of yellow in early Mey in the hardy bor- der. The plant often becomes thoroughly dorment in July, losing 611 its leaves only to start anew with the fall rains. It spreeds readily from sméll root pieces, and mekes &@ good clump in one year. We are offering root pieces at a lower price for midsummer delivery only. 15¢ each; 10 for $1.00.

CORDIFOLIUM. We obtained this variety of Leoperdbane three yesers ego, end were immediately chermed by it when it flowered. Moreover, everyone who has seen it While in blossom has demsnded it. in habits, it is unlike the preceding. The flowers ere yellow and neerly as lerge, but ere cérried in a broed flet corymb. The entire growth with us is seldom over 18 inches. The foliage is heart sheped, and is very persistent, end good, making the plant a decided ornement to the border &t all seasons. Flowering continues much longer then with the older sort, and the plent elso may be sétisfactorily forced in the greenhouse during the winter when it will flower for several months. Our stock is still limited, but we ofier strong young plents from 3" vots for delivery in September &t 3S5¢ eéch.

VIOLET, SINGLE RUSSIAN

Violes end Violets sre a decided hobby with us, and we have bought and tried nearly every form offered us. among all the Sweet Violets we heve grown, with the possible exception of Rosina, this is the most satisfactory. To begin with, it is & strong vigorous grower making lerge mounds of dark green folitge, so thet it is suiteble for edgings of broed peths or for carpeting under trees und shrubs, but it méy &lso be usec in the gerden. It is absolutely herdy with us, surviving the pest winter when all other sorts killed bedly. The flowers themselves ere fregrant and lerge snd equel the single greenhouse verieties. The stems ere long and eesily permit bunching. There are no flowers through the summer, but in fell they egein flower until frozen down. Young plents put out at this time ere most sure to flower this fall. We offer young field grown clumps at 25¢ each; 10 for ¢2.00.

FALL FLOWERING BULBS

In Fall, when the Rockery is bere, save for foliuge, it is possible to have showy flowers appeer from the soil, as if by megic, end continue to brichten the gerden for weeks. The fall-flowering Crocus, snd the Colchicums, or Meadow Seffron, all flower in this way. Growth is made in the Spring, efter which the leaves die down and not until Fell ao the flowers appeer. During this dormant period, in mid- Summer is the time to plant them. They will flower this very Fell.
