It is de- signed to call your attention to such plants and bulbs as are best set in autumn, with some new varieties, and older ones omitted from this season’s ANNUAL. We have added a number of new rockery plants and perennials not listed in the 1930 Annual, but for our complete list of these plants consult the Annual. A copy will be sent promptly for the asking. Prices in no case include postage or express charges, but are simply for plants or bulbs boxed and delivered to our nearest office. For those of our customers who prefer to receive their plants and bulbs by parcel post, we shall be pleased to forward in this manner such plants and bulbs as can be sent in this way at the following additional cost, which must be added to the value of each order to cover the cost of postage and special packing necessary: to all points east of Mississippi River, 10% extra; to all points west of the Mississippi River, 20% extra. Peonies by express only. Copies of our catalogue will be gladly sent to anyone. If you have mislaid your ANNUAL, ask for another. PROTECTING PLANTS Autumn planting is all right if done at the right time and the plants properly cared for. Perennials can be safely cut back and sent the first week in September; Iris and Peonies late in August if preferred. Shrubs, roses, vines and trees should not be moved until all growth for the season is past, which is not usually until after the middle of October. For transplanting evergreens late August and first part of September seem to be best for fall. A little protection is essential for nearly all the hardy plants in winter; not a protection so much against frost, for this is natural to them, but a protection against mild winter weather. Plants that are hardy enough for the severest winter weather may be killed by alternate freezing and thawing. Nature often provides protection in the dead foliage falling about the plant but we should protect them with three or four inches of marsh hay or straw put on in early November, with a little brush to prevent this covering being blown off. Shrubs and roses set out in the fall are helped by a banking of earth for severa! inches above the level of ground. A foot or more of this banking is not too much for roses. F. H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vermont Part of Our Field of ‘‘Home-grown’’ Lilium Candidum Hardy Plants from a Hardy Climate 5 LILIES = Most of the lilies of this list may be sent in September; a few however, like Auratums, Speciosums, Henryi, and the beautiful Sargentiz do not ripen until late September or early October. Our Home-grown L. Candidum are ready August Ist. Lilium Candidum makes a green leaved growth in the fall and needs to be in the ground in time to get this growth. Our bulbs of Candidum from France are due and promised for the middle of September. Set the bulbs of candidums two and one-half inches under and place a covering of straw or hay over them just before winter. All other lily bulbs are planted five or six inches under, and protected for winter with either straw or coarse strawy horse manure, put over the tops of beds just before hard freezing in the fall. Do not cover J.. Candidum with manure. EACH DOZ. Lilium auratum. GoLp-BANDED JAPAN LILY. $.60 $6.00 L. auratum platyphyllum. The largest of all Au- ratum, with broader petals and spotted yellow.

These bulbs will thrive in any well-drained garden soil, but the addition of bonemeal will asure you extra fine flowers. And it will help them if you place a handful of clean, gritty sand under each bulb when planting. This is especially helpful in heavy or wet soil. How deep to plant bulbs is a question that is sometimes a worry, especially since bulbs of the same variety often vary in size. A fairly accurate rule is to cover a bulb to a depth of about twice its height. That is—a bulb 2 inches high would be planted 4 inches deep, from the top of the bulb to the level of the soil. Plant the bulbs with a pointed stick, or dibber, which may be notched to indicate the various depths. Be sure to cover the bulbs closely and firmly with earth. For naturalizing or planting in sod, turn back the sod in small ete aaa work in a little bonemeal, plant the bulbs and put the sod ack. Tulips. Plant early varieties 4 to5 inches apart, 5 inches deep. Darwins and Breeder Tulips, 5 to 6 inches apart, 6 inches deep. Narcissi. Plant smaller sorts 4 to 6 inches apart; larger, 6 to 8 inches apart, 4 to 6 inches deep. ; Hyacinths. Plant 6 to 8 or 10 inches apart, and 3 to 5 inches eep. Crocuses. Plant 2 to 3 inches apart (usually scattered irreg- ularly), 3 to 4 inches deep. DAFFODILS or NARCISSI Early flowering bulbs, coming before tulips, and after crocuses. Fine for cutting; hardy and easy of culture. Though any good gar- den soil suits, they prefer rather stiff, deep soil and if the situation is such that they are shaded from the sun a third or half the time so much the better. It is well to cover these bulbs to keep out the frost during the first of the winter when setting is done late. EACH DOZ. Narcissus bicolor Empress.

Dry or well-drained soil is best for the Hybrid Iris, often known as German Iris, while a moist, deep soil is most suitable for the Japanese Iris and such species as siberica, pseudacorus, cristata, and versicolor. All Iris are best planted in August or September or even earlier if fully ripened after flowering. Ground bone is the best fertilizer and lime may be added to the soil in planting the Hybrid Iris. We list below all of our hybrid varieties with brief descriptions and have prefixed the rating of each by the American Iris Society. For our list and descriptions of Species and Japanese Iris, and more complete descriptions of the Hybrids, see our 1930 ANNUAL.

With the taller varieties at the back, these Borders are especially valuable to place against a fence, garage, or in the corner of the yard or garden. They are designed especially to give harmony of color and a succession of bloom. Border No. 1, 20’x6’, 144 plants in 24 varieties......... $20.00 Border No. 2, 30’x6’, 216 plants in 30 varieties......... $30.00 Beet seta. ot plants. os ok $50. 00 The list of plants in these Borders will be given, upon appli- cation to anyone interested. The blue print is forwarded just as soon as the order is received. While we are glad to advise our customers as to the best arrangements of plants for their needs, we must ask that we be not requested to furnish more than the blue print with these collections. If you are interested in making a larger border or a complete Perennial Garden, write us. We can make up an individual design that will be attractive in appearance, give bloom the entire season, and will be planned in detail with exact estimate of cost. 28 F. H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vermont Viola Jersey Gem A recent introduction that has proved to be one of the finest perennial flowering plants ever sent out. Itis absolutely hardy under all conditions and flowers continuously from May until frost. The color is a true violet-blue and the individual flowers are very large and fragrant, reminding one of a huge Violet. The stems are about six inches long which makes it very popular as a cut flower. It succeeds in sun or partial shade and is not particular as to soil. 25 cents each, $2.00 per dozen, $15.00 per 100. V. Jersey Jewel. A new and worthy addition. It is strong- growing, with large flowers of a true pansy-violet shade. 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen. V. White Jersey Gem. Identical with Jersey Gem except in color. 35 cents each, $3.50 per dozen. The Regal Combination The Regal strains of Lupines and Delphinium and the Regal Lily have proved to be the most popular and valuable items that we have offered in recent years. The Lupines, with their varied shades, including yellows and bronzes and many bicolored, bring a novel touch to the early garden bloom. The Regal Delphinium, in their turn, furnish bloom that is “‘truly regal’’ in colors that range from pink shades to deep blue, and with flowers that are mostly double. The Regal Lily is similar in shape to the Easter Lily but has the advantage of being slightly shaded pink outside and the lower, inner surface primrose yellow. It is a very hardy and reliable addition to the perennial garden. EACH DQOZ.
