The Glory of the Rose

{(Copied.)

HE rose has been known to man from the earliest hours of
history. It has been mentioned in story and song in all ages.
It is the eternal flower of love, the emhlem of sentiment.
“All the world loves a lover,’’ said Emerson. And it is
true that all the world loves roses, probably for the same’reason.
Cherished in the palaces and gardens of the ricn and mignty, it
is, nevertheless, the flower of all classes and stations in life. «=
- The fancier may differ in his tastes; the pocketbook may dic-
tate the choice of many; the wealthy gardener may have the most
exquisite flowers of every land and clime at his beck and call,
but all unite in claiming the rose as the first flower. And this
universal love for the rose is unequaled elsewhere in all the things
which Nature has given us. 5

It grows wild in the temperate zone thruout the world. When
the pioneers poured down over the Allegheny Mountains and into
the plains of Kentucky and Ohio, later upon tne prairies of Illinois,
Towa, and the West, they found the wild rose everywhere. Full
many a prairie home was gladdened and enriched in those trouble-
some days by the splendor and color of the wild rose. It brought
a vision of peace and lofty sentiment to those sturdy souls in
their hours of struggle; it gladdened the hearts of the lovers and
brightened frontier weddings without number. The first flower
that the bride planted in her dooryard, whether in the forests
of Kentucky or in the.sod huts of Kansas, was the queen of the
Prairie, the wild rose. _ ; ; ‘

The-rose has left an imperishable imprint upon the literature of

_all times and races. During the days of feudalism and chivalry
it was the accepted badge of favor. Sturdy knights and mighty
warriors battled the one with the other in contests of prowess to
win the rose of some fair lady. To have this token from the gen-
tler sex was a higher tribute than any that royalty might bestow.

In the period of the Renaissance, when the blight of the Dark

- Ages was lifting before the dawn of modern literature, we find
the rose still the favorite of mankind. When Dante thought of
love and the queenly Beatrice, he sang sonnets to the rose.

‘To trace the rose in literature would be to produce a compila-
tion of the work ofall authors and poets. Never has man or woman
achieved fame in letters without writing of the rose. The litera-
ture of France, of Spain, of England, of Ireland, of sturdy old
Scotland, of Scandinavia, of America, is replete with it.

We find it even in the fables of antiquity. Among the ancients
it was heid sacred to Cupid and Venus, called Eros and Apnrodite
tespectively, by the Greeks. They considered it the emblem of
joy and love, and at the same time, of prudence.

- The Romans placed it over the door when a feast was in progress
and whoever passed under it incurred a solemn obligation not
to reveal what was seen or heard. From this custom has sprung
the term ‘sub rosa,’ meaning “under the rose,” as applied to any-
thing revealed in confidence.

Later, it was placed at the entrance to confessional at Rome,
as a symbol of secrecy. In poetry, it has ever stood as a symbol
of purity and innocence; to all classes it has ever been the emblem
of everything beautiful and deligntful.

In art, as in literature, we find it going back to the very dawn
of the Aryan race. It is seen in tne art of the Greeks, the Romans,
the Egyptians, the. Assyrians. Tne Etruscan rose is almost as
famous as the Etruscan vase. The rose has been distinctly a
favorite of the Western world, as distinguished against the Orient.
It is strikingly absent in the horticultural affairs of the early
Chinese and Japanese. ; : e 5

In history, the rose has played an important part. In the days
ot Heraldry, it was a badge worn by whole armies. The badge ot
the House of Lancaster was the 1ose gules, and the rose ardent
of the House of York. Henry VI, king of England, was sur-
rounded and supported by the adherents of the House of Lancaster
in his claim to the throne. Richard, Duke of York, had a better

claim to the throne by descent and his adherents provoked one
quarrel after another with the Lancasterians, in the hope of ulti-
mately placing Richard on the throne. The personal emblem of
the Duke of York was a white rose, which his followers adopted
in order to distinguish friend from foe. The House of Lancaster
promptly adopted the red rose as its emblem. From this fact,
the struggles between the two families for the throne of England
which lasted several years, came to be known as the ‘War of the
Roses,” Thus the rose played an important part in at least one
war, a war waich destroyed the flower of English manhood and
eventually made it possible for the French to drive the English
off the continent forever.

Roses in the future are going to be better understood by the
people at iarge; they are becoming more and more common in
family gardens and the uses to which they may be devoted in
addition to their bloom, will bring a fuller realization of the glory
and beauty of the rose to every lover of Nature. Too long we
have labored under the impression that rose culture was not for
the masses; that this queen of the florist’s art was distinctly a
creature of skill and intricate care. Too long our gardens have
been bare of the queen of flowers and our vases empty.

The rush of commercialism in the early days of the present
industrial age seemed to sweep all sentiment, all love for the
leisurely joy of growing things and enriching life and home with
flowers,-out of our lives. But the advent of universal prosperity,
the coming of the thought that of all attainments the home is
the most important, the settling down of America to enoble and
to enrich herself in the worthier things, has swept back that old
desire, that old longing, for the “vine over the door.”’

And never before has the great middle class been so favored
whether here or elsewhere. The modest backlot gardens in many
cities outrank those of the aristocracy of yesterday. Many a busy
housewife has a larger and better garden than that boasted by ner
Colonial grandmotner. '

The natural love for the rose has had a great deal to do with this
revival of the interest in floriculture. Hardly has sod been turned
before thoughts of roses blooming in the garden come to the gar-
den lover. It assumes expression often before a shrub is planted
or lawns established.

The rose stands for permanency. It has none of the disadvan-
tages of annual flowers which endure for a season and must be
planted again each succeeding spring. It endures from year to
year, blooming each season and attaining a varying growth de-
pending upon variety. It blooms the first season, if properly
established, and continues to repay the gardener thruout the
years. The Teas and Hybrid Teas are, as a general rule, con-
tinuous in the blooming habit and one or two of the Hybrid Per-
petuals display the same admirable trait.

_ There is a rose for every climate where people live in any con-
siderable numbers. Wild varieties are found in pland and
Labrador. Even the delicate teas are successfully grown out-
doors in Canada, where thousands of them are to be found in the
public parks.

y As tnere is a rose for every climate, so tagre is a rose for every
purpose, susceptible of outdoor cultivation. From the tiny
polyanthas to the giant and rugged rugosas and climbing varieties,
there is a wide selection for almost any condition that may be
present. Unsightly terraces or bare spots in Jawn or park or ceme
etery may be made a place of beauty with the creeping varieties.

In the rose we find all the variations which climate, nature and
skill in man can combine. It is not extraordinary, then, that the
rose should have the universal place it holds in the hearts of so
many people in all classes and in all climes. It is the universal
flower and its appeal in that direction is only indicative of its
merits. c

ROSES FOR

_ The cultivation of roses is as follows:

The Soil—The soil which best suits the Rose is a deep, unctuous
loam, with free drainage, as Roses do not thrive where there is
stagnant moisture. If these conditions are not to be had naturally,
‘they must, as far as possible, be provided. In the first place, if
drainage is bad, tae soil must be thrown out to a depth of 18
inches, and, af it is not convenient to use tiles, about 5or 6 inches
of broken bricks or other rough material should be thrown in the
bottom, and a layer of turf laid on top, grassy side down. On

the top of the surf should be placed a layer of well-decayed farm- .

yard manure, then a light layer of soil, and another layer of ma-
nure, on top of which should be placed the remainder of tae soil,
to wuich, if light and sandy, should be added a liberal supply of
well-chopped-up turf, raising the whole of the bed to a_height
of about 12 inches above the original level of the soil. In case
of heavy land, a layer of lime rubble should be added, as this will
help to sweeten the soil. z
_ Planting—Should be deferred until the soil is in proper condi-
tion to receive the plants, as it is a great mistake to plant in wet
soil. Teas and Hybrid Teas should be planted about 18 inches
apart and the Hybrid Perpetuals 2 feet apart, keeping all manure
away from direct contact with the roots when planting. Firm the
soil well around tne plants and give a thorough watering.
Pruning—All the short, prematurely ripened wood and all

OUTDOOR PLANTING

CULTURAL NOTES.

small shoots should be cut clean away, leaving just the strongest
shoots, from 4 to 6 inches long. Pruning should be done immedi-
ately after the plants are set out, if it has not been previously done.
This close pruning does not apply to the Hardy Climbers or
Ramblers; these should be shortened back if they have grown be-
yond their allotted space and thin out the very small shoots.

Protection—Before the ground freezes solid the soil should be
pulled up around the base of the plants, 7 or 8 inches, and the
surface of the bed afterward well covered with dried leaves or
cornstalks. When so protected, even the most tender varieties of
Hybrid Tea Roses are entirely hardy as far north as Winnipeg.

This condensed list is the cream of the varicties suitable for
American culture today, especially Columbia, which has asserted
itself as being the very finest outdoor pink Rose so far produced.

To dig and delve in nice clean dirt

Can do a mortal little hurt.

To live 'mongst lush and growing things
Is like to give the spirit wings.

Who works 'mongst roses soon will find
Their fragrance budding in his mind.
And minds that sprout with roses free—
Well, that’s the sort of mind for me]

cashion changes with the ages. The rose was the queen of flowers

to the ancients, just as it is today; but the rose leads all flowers,
on account of its adaptability to every decorative purpose.

The Cream of the New Roses

We here offer what is good in the new Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try these Roses. They are
the best that England, France, LEE Italy, Holland and America produce.

HYBRID TEA ROSES

This is a class of recent creation, embodying the delicate shades
and peculiar fragrance possessed by the Tea Roses combined with the
vigor and more pronounced pink and crimson shades of color previously
confined to the Hybrid Perpetual class. In our opinion the Hybrid
Teas will supersede all others because of their superior constitution and
marvelously free-flowering qualities. In a sentence, it may be said

= they combine all the better traits of the two
classes from which they sprang, altogether a
great advantage. Almost all are highly per-
fumed, an attribute absolutely essential to a
perfect Rose. They are everbloomers and
hardy in all but the most rigorous climate.

New Polyantha, or Baby Roses

Price 25 Cents Each; Two-Year Plants 45 Cents, except where noted.

BABY DOROTHY—This is a glorious Rose. Flowers resemble
Dorothy Perkins. Completely hides the plant with its
oloom.

BABY ECHO—The best Polyantha produced. Color rosy-flesh.
Of splendid growth and freedom of bloom, which are of wonder-
ful keeping qualities either on or off the plant. This is the im-
proved Baby Tausendschoen. It has more substance and more
color, and is the best of all Baby Roses for pot culture. Be sure®
and try this one. :

BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN or THOUSAND BEAUTIES—Its
flowers are large, so much like Thousand Beauties, that it has
been rechristened Baby Thousand Beauties. It is a bush form

cately flushed pink, changing to deep rosy-carmine. A splendid
Rose. Try it.

only brighter and more brilliant than when that variety is at its
best, and you will have some conception of the beauty of this
little gem which on account of the similarity in color has been
known among the cut flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is
a shrimp-pink, with intense, coppery-scarlet suffusion, the base
of the petals golden-vellow which intensifies and lightens up its
high colors. Plant is of free growth and floriferous. We are
certain that Baby Herriot will please everyone.

GEORGE ELGER—A lovely little golden-yellow Polyantha Rose,
with a good admixture of Tea blood; like all of its class, it is free
in growth, free in bloom, with small, glossy foliage produced in
profusion. The dainty little pointed yellow buds open into
pretty little symmetrical Roses. Will prove a very popular
corsage variety; is grown in quantity now for this purpose.

GRUSS AN AACHEN—Yellowish-rose colored with salmon-pink
and red shadings; full, strong, free blooming and disease proof;
erect and of moderate growth. Owing to the size and beauty of
its flowers and its symmetrical growth, this variety is highly rec-

We guarantee that no better Twelve Roses for the Garden were ever offered than this ‘‘Famous” Collection.
Two-year-ald plants, 45 cents each; the entire twelve for $4.00.

25 cents each; the entire twelve for $2.50.

ANTOIJINE RIVOIRE (Mrs. Taft)—This is the
famous Mrs. Taft Rose of the fashionable East-
ern markets. This Rose is in a class by itself;
no Rose ever produced has such substance of
petal; color creamy-white with rainbow tints;
a beauty and a wonder.

BESSIE BROWN—A Rose of transcendent
beauty; of the largest size; color pearly-white
with a delicate tinge of fawn.

ETOILE DE FRANCE—For the best red garden
Rose it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and
Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the
other.

ETOILE DE LYON —Still the best large golden-
yellow Rose.
HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet)—What
the introducers say: ‘*This is a true Cochet Rose,

and after two years’ trial in the garden
we pronounce it as good if not better
than any Rose for the garden ever
sent out. We bought the entire stock
of this Rose, paying $1,000 for two
plants, this being by far*the highest
tecorded price ever paid for any Rose.
The color is a delicate yellow suffused
with pink, each petal edged deeper,
very chaste and beautiful. The color,
with its immense size and exquisite
form, makes it without question the
greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, -
and we are proud to have brought it out.”

HELEN GOULD—A rich red Rose that is a great
bloomer; the shade of red has been described
best as a watermelgn-red; elegant.

KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA—A _ grand
white garden Rose that has stood the test of
time. Full and douple; fine buds and flowers.

MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden
Roses)—Such beauty and exquisite form as is
possessed by this variety is wellnigh marvelous
and cannot be seen in any other Rose we know
of. The buds are beautiful, large, full and firm
and elegantly pointed; as they expand they show
great depth and richness, sometimes measuring
two and a half inches from base to tip. Flowers
superb when open, extra large, perfectly double
and of splendid substance. Small pot plants
will in the open ground quickly make large,
strong bushes and produce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers
of perfect flowers that are enchanting in fragrance and delicate
brightness. The color is rich, clear pink, changing to a silvery-
tose. As we see it, one good Rose like any of the Cochet Roses
is worth a whole collection of poor ones.

PRESIDENT TAFT (McCullough, 1908)—This Rose was raised
in Cincinnati, the home of President Taft, and let us say right
here, while some of you may not admire the President nimself
you will, one and all, admire the Rose given his name. It is
without question the most remarkable of all pink roses. It
has shining, intense, deep pink color possessed by no other Rose.
It is a fine grower, free nloomer, good size and form, fragrant
and in a class by itself as to color. Our Mr. Frank Good, who is
probably familiar with more Roses than any man in America,
says: ‘Talk all you want to about the Rose President Taft, and
then you will not say enough.”

Try them. Price,

RADIANCE (Cook, 1909)—A brilliant rosy-carmine, displaying
beautiful rich and opaline-pink tints in the open flower. The

form is fine, largest size and full, with cupped petals. It blooms
constantly and is delightfully fragrant. This is a superior Rose.

WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than This)—
This Rose attracted our attention from the very first time we
ever saw it in flower. It is of the largest size, and as you will
notice, the flower is built up, or rounded and very double. The
color is a pure snow-white. Sometimes outdoors it is tinged
pink, which only adds to its great beauty. No Rose surpasses
1t in vigorous growth, and in the immense size of its buds and
flowers—indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it in
size. Deliciously fragrant.

WM. R. SMITH—This Rose has several names, such as Charles
Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden’s Blush, etc. Color delicate
blush. It has no superior as a garden Rose.

If planted in

the richest place of your garden and given plenty of sun and moisture they will, however, repay you with extra-large and gorgeous

colors.

To obtain a continuation of blooms during tne greatest part of tae season, it is advisable to pJant at intervals of ten days, from the

last week in April until the middle of June.

Some varieties will bloom in seventy-five to eighty days from the date of planting, but most sorts require eighty-five to ninety days.
Plant the bulbs about 5 or 6 inches deep and from 8 to 4 inches apart.
In October, when the foliage has turned yellow, dig the bulbs, cut the stems off within an inch of the bulbs, and dry them thoroughly.
Then remove the old roots and store the bulbs in a cool, dry place where frost cannot reach them.

Their easy culture appeals to all, and the freedom from disease and insect pests is another great asset.

Mixed Primulinus Hybrid

These hybrids gained by crossing the species Primulinus with
the larger varieties of the Gandavensis type, have retained all the
daintiness and graceful form of their Primulinus parent, even to
the “‘hood”’ formed by the drooping of the upper petal, and have
an added beauty of exquisite coloring, from the softest primrose
to a beautiful rose. Each, 6c; dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00.

BEAUTIFUL CANNAS

ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO

Gladioli in Mixture

Persons who do not plant mixtures—no matter how many of
the named kinds they plant—will miss much- of the pleasure of
this grand flower. In color every magnificent and gorgeous
combination conceivable is represented. The richest of self-
colors, blotched, etc.; finest white and pastels of every tint and
color. Each, 6c; dozen, 60c; hundred, $4.00; thousand, $35.00.

Standard Varieties

Cannas are called the poor man’s Orchid because one may possess a perfect riot of color in his yard or garden for the minimum of

both outlay and labor.
and they always respond to plenty of water.

They grow rapidly and bloom luxuriantly throughout a long season, requiring merely ordinary hoeing and weeding
Soak the ground thoroughly.

Planted in beds of any formal shape, in rows or in front

of porches and foundation walls, their rich, tropical foliage and bright bloom will repay their care and the insignificant trouble of winter

storage.

Cannas are among the most popular and magnificent of the summer blooming plants and seem to do equally well in all sections

of the country. Cannas are gross feeders; they need a generous amount of fertilizer and in dry weather should be watered freely. For
best effects plants set out in large blocks, say 2 feet apart, allowing each plant room for individual development, will make a marvelous

showing in any planting plan.
Purposes.

THE PRESIDENT—Height four feet. In color, a
rich, glowing scarlet and the immense, firm, rounded
flowers, 7 inches across when open, are produced on
strong, erect stalks well above the large, rich green
foliage. ‘‘The President” is superior to any other
red variety in the quantity and also the quality of
bloom, and the firm flowers resist drought and heat
to a remarkable degree. A large bed of this variety
was planted last year on the grounds of the Washing-
ton Monument, Washington, D.C. Another ‘‘Presi-
dent’’ Canna bed was on the Garden Pier at Atlantic
City, while several more were to be seen in the
largest public parks in this country where these
beautiful flowers received the unqualified admira-
tion of every Canna lover. Naturally a tremendous
demand has been created. We consider this the
best red Canna ever sent out. 35 cents each; 3 for
95 cents; 12 for $3.50; 100 for $25.00.

ALLEMANIA—Ground color yellow, heavily dotted and over-
laid with blood-orange. Five feet. 30 cents each; 3 for 80
cents;12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00.

beautiful shade; the color of light. Four and one-half feet. 30
cents each; 3 for 80 cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00.

CITY OF PORTLAND—This is one of the most beautiful pink
Cannas. A fine bedding variety; well filled trusses of large
flowers. Green foliage. Three feet. 35 cents each; 3 for 95
cents; 12 for $3.50; 100 fer $25.00.

yellow. _ The tongue is yellow and densely spotted with car-
Mine. Fourfeet. 25 cents each; 3 for 65 cents; 12 for $2.00;
100 for $15.00.

INDIANA—Glistening golden orange flowers, with silky texture.

KING HUMBERT — In this grand Italian Canna we have a com-
bination of the highest type of flower with the finest bronze
foliage. Its flowers, which under ordinary cultivation will
Measure six inches in diameter, and which are producea in heavy
trusses of gigantic size, are of a brilliant orange-scarlet, with
bright red markings, while the foliage is broad and massive and
of a rich coppery bronze with brownish-green markings. Five
feet. 35 cents each; 3 for 95 cents; 12 for $3.50; 100 for

$25.00.

dent looks,

for 80 cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00. €

MISS FLORENCE HALL (Queen of the Canna Caravan)—
We can’t descrihe it, but hope simply to hint at its queenly
splendor. Foliage rich green, 3} feet, massive trusses of im-
mense flowers, a constant bloomer, and its delicate harmony of
colors do not fade in our hottest sun. This is a pink Canna, but
unlike anything on the market today. Its blossoms are massive,
but it is not its bigness that captivates you, it is its Color. A
great peach orchard in full bloom with its rich pink, its warm
flesh and glints of gold only suggests the beginning of the color
scheme in this new child of the Canna family. The outer por-
tion of the immense bloom is a rich pink graduating to the center
with splashes of warm flesh with just enough of gold flecked into
the throat to please the most exacting eye. This Canna is the
Marvel of Marvels. 75 cents each; 3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.75;
100 for $27.00. i s

suffusion to intensify the dazzling mass of color. Four feet. 30
cents each; 3 for 80 cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00. “

PANAMA—An attractive rich orange red, well defined edge of
bright golden-yellow. Flowers very large, and the immense
spread of the individual blooms coupled with its early free flower-
ing habit makes this Canna noteworthy. Four feet. 30 cents
each; 3 for 80 cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00.

RICHARD WALLACE—A tight shade of canary-yellow, almost
an ecru, with delicate flecks of red; a lovely Canna. Four feet.

* 30 cents each; 3 for 80 cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00.

ROSEA GIGANTEA—A large flower with rounded petals and full
truss. Color arosy pink. Four feet. 30 cents each; 3 for 80
cents; 12 for $2.80; 100 for $22.00. :

SECRETAIRE CHABANNE—(Green.) A distinct and pleasing
salmon; a fine bedder. Three and one-half feet. 40 cents each;
3 for $1.00; 12 for $3.75; 100 for $27.00.

UNCLE SAM—The most stately of all Cannas; bears three or four
enormous bunches of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers; on each

Society of England. Six feet. 30 cents each; 3 for 80 cents;

Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums

These beautiful varieties are again very popular for outdoor bedding purposes. They are quite hardy, and with but a slight cover-
ing of leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter will take care of themselves after once planted, and produce an abundant, almost
lavish, profusion of bloom; and the plants lend a coloration to the garden just at a time when other plants have been destroyed by frost
and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that an armful of flowers can
be cut after a sharp frost. Price, 20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 12 for $1.80.

Cultivation,of Dahlias

Danlias are easily grown, requiring no special soil, or treatment, to bring them to perfection. They love an open sunny
location, but succeed in partial snaade. Prepare the soil thoroughly by digging 12 to 18 inches deep, ‘possibly in the fall and then
again in the spring, oefore planting. :

*”< Tf tne soil is poor, work in some well-rotted stable manure, or artificial fertilizer, but don’t overdo this. $

Dig the holes 3 feet apart, and about 6 inches deep; drive a stout stake in eaca hole, and lay the tuber down flat, with the

eye to the stake, and cover with two to three inches of; fine soil, leaving tne nole to be filled after the plant comes up.

Plant any time between April Ist and June 15th.

When tne plants have made their tnird set of leaves;,cut out the top, to make them branch. : . :
The most important thing from now on is hoeing and cultivating the soil, until the buds appear; then give the beds a good
mulching of manure, to keep the ground moist; and water the plants thoroughly once or twice a week..

If red spider or thrips appears, spray with a nicotine solution. . :

To have large blooms, it is absolutely necessary to disbud; that means, to break off all the side shoots on each stem, above _
the first or second set of leaves, leaving the sprouts near the base of each stem, so as to insure a new crop of blooms. Dahlias
will. continue to bloom, until the frost kills the tops; the tubers are dug anc stored in a dry cellar or basement, cover them with
dry sand, soil or sawdust, to keep from shriveling. Divide the tubers in the spring after the eyes show plainly, being careful,
that each tuber has an eye. Cover them again and keep dry until planted.

every way.

distinct and choice varieties. Try us for Ferns.

The ‘‘Teddy Junior’’ Penn

Nephrolepis Teddy Junior.

“Teddy Junior,” the Fern for every household. This grand
Fern was introduced recently by G. & R. The fronds are broad
and beautifully tapered from base to tip; they droop just enough
to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting it to finish with
a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. The pinnae
are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy
appearance, which adds materially to their charming decorative
effect. “Teddy Junior’ will produce about four times more
fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finisning with fifty
to sixty fronds in a four-inch pot. Fine young plants, 25 cents;
strong plants, 75 cents.

The ‘‘Roosevelt Fern”’

Nephrclepis Roosevelt.

It is our good fortune and great pleasure to offer tnis wonderful
new Fern, having introduced it in 1910. In this short time it
stands second in popularity of all tne Ferns, and will soon oe more
popular than even the old favorite Boston Fern. In yeneral
characteristics 1t resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but it
will sweep that Fern from the boards for two reasons: it produces
many more fronds than the Boston, thus making a bushier, hand-
somer plant; then the pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving
the ‘“‘Roosevelt’’ a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern;
as the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. A charming
and most notable variety. Fine young plants, 25 cents each;
strong plants, 75 cents.

New Fern ‘‘Liberty’’

Tuis is our own production. In the past we have sent out
Baby’s Breath, Teddy Junior and Roosevelt, the three greatest
Ferns today, acknowledged so by all plantsmen and flower lovers,
and now we add another one to the galaxy, ‘Liberty,’ no doubt
the best of them. Aul the fronds have finely divided pinnae that
give them a very beautiful appearance, while the whole plant is
overlaid with a bluish cast that makes of it a very striking object.

Wonderfully teautiful,
different from all other
ferns. First time offered.
Fine young plants, 35
cents each;strong plants,
$1.00 each. Be sure and
try this beautiful Fern.

The ‘‘Big

Four’’ Fern

Nephrolepis Splendida.

This is the most wonder-
ful Fern of them all; it
originated with G. & R., and
is now offered for the first
time. It combines the good
qualities of the four most
popular sorts. It has the
grace of a “Boston,” the
wavy effect of a Roose-
velt, the fluffy effect of an
“Cstrich Plume,” and the
uniqueness of a ‘Fish Tail.”
Some fronds will be straight
“Boston,” others will be
true “‘Roosevelt” in others
the ends of the pinnae will
be@tne feathery “Ostrich
Plume,” while in others the
ends of the pinnae will be
the genuine “Fish Tail.”
Then again some fronds
will have in a marked de-
gree all of these desirable
traits, forming a combina-
tion without parallel among
Ferns. It well deserves the
name of “Big Four Fern.”

The ‘‘Wannamaker Fern’’

Nephrolepis John Wannamaker.

‘A new Fern of wonderful beauty. Long, narrow, gracefully
drooping fronds. It is not so compact as Scholzeli, and, therefore,
is a very airy and graceful Fern, and very durable in the house.
A rapid grower; quite distjnct from other Ferns, Fine young
plants, 30 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.

The ‘Ostrich Plume Fern’’

Nephrolepis Whitmanii

A great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to everyone.
and on that account will prove a much more valuable and profitable
plant than other Ferns of this class. Everyone who has seen it is
charmed with it. _As someone has expressed it: “There is nothing
like the Ostrich Plum Fern in cultivation.” In decorative effect
it so far out distances the original variety that there is positively
no comparison to be made. We consider it the most valuable
novelty that has been introduced in many, many years."’
It has taken gold medals wherever shown. Fine yourg plants
35 cents; strong plants, 85 cents.

The ‘‘Baby’s Breath Fern’’

Nephrolepis Goodii

This Fern is splendid to use for Fern Dish Planting. It has the
finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is so delicate that a lady on seeing
it exclaimed, ‘‘Cali it the Baby’s Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in
texture that a baby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage in motion.”
Tne fronds are very fine and filmy, on which account it has been
called by some the Lace Fern. It is an improved variety, and the
best of its type. Notning is daintier or more exquisite than well

ELLA V. BAINES, THE WOMAN FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FERNS—Concluded —

The ‘‘Newport Fern”’

Nephreclepis Scotti

Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the Boston Fern.
The fronds droop gracefully, and are not as long and heavy as the
Boston. It is a rapid grower, and to see it in all stages of growth
from a runner in the bench to a 14-inch pot specimen will convince
you that it will be in great demand as a house Fern. This has al-
ways been a favorite variety. Fine young plants, 30 cents;
strong plants, 75 cents.

The ‘‘Parlor Fern’’

Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta

This is a condensed form of the ‘‘Ostrich Plume” Fern, with
valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the parent,
the pinnae subdividing, making miniature fronds wnich are super-
imposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or more were con-
densed into one. Graceful bevond description. Fine young
plants, 35 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.

The ‘Philadelphia Lace Fern’”’

Nephrolepis Elegantissima

The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided into perfect
miniature fronds; the side pinnae stand at right angies to the mide
rib of the fronds, on edge instead of flat, giving both sides of the
main frond the same beautiful appearance. It is impossible to
conceive of the beauty and grace of this wonderful Fern from the
description. Fine young plants, 35 cents; strong plants, 75
cents.

The‘‘Old Original Sword Fern’’

Nephrolepis Exaltata

This is the “old original Sword Fern.” the ‘‘daddy”’ of them all,
the one plant from which all the Nephrolepis we offer sprang. It
is-entirely different from any of its progeny, having narrow fronds
that are long and of very erect growth. For this reason it is more
largely used as a centerpiece in vases than any of its descendents.
Fine young plants, 25 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.

Special Offer

The Fifteen Beautiful Ferns as named, cost-
ing $5.25, for only $4.25.
in strong plants, costing $10.10, for only $9.00.

The ‘‘Crested Fern”’

Nephrolepis Scholzeii.

Uhe fronds are crested and stand erect, with a graceful arch,
forming a plant of ideal shape, and they never break down, giving
the plant a ragged appearance, as is so often the case with otner
plumed ferns; furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement of the
fronds, allowing a free circulation of air through the foliage, pre-
vents the center of even the largest specimen from becoming de-
fective or yellow. Fine young plants, 25 cents each; large
Plants, 50 cents.

The ‘‘Boston Fern’”’

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis.

In the vicinity of Boston, no other plant is so extensively used
as this graceful Nephrolepis, which differs from the ordinary Sword
Fern in having much longer fronds, which frequently attain a length
of six feet, These arch and droop over very gracefully, on account
of which 1t is frequently called the Fountain Fern. This dropping
habit makes it an excellent nlant to grow as a single specimen on a
table or pedestal. This Fern should not ne compared with tne
Ostrich Plume Fern, as they are of an entirely different growths
Fine young plants, 25 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.

The ‘‘Fluffy Ruffles Fern’’

Nephrolepis Superbissima.

_ This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its dis-
tinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than
any other Fern, its dense growta; much more compact, and its
irregular shaped fronds, which give it the name of “Flufly Ruffles
Fern.” Tne fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae over-
lapping, and so formed as to resemble miniature Ferns, giving it
the appearance of a Fern wituin a Fern. The plant is very sturdy
zans havit. Fine young plants, 75 cents. No large size to
offer.

Fern Norwood

A new type of the Ostrich. Plume family. The frond is very
compact and the pinnae are finely serrated, giving it the appea-
ance of a strong feather plume. Fine young plants, 50 cents
each. No large size to offer.

combination of coloring which obtained for it. the popular name of
Pansy Geranium. Strong plants, reaey, to bloom, 30 cents
each; three for 80 cents, 12 for $2.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR PELARGONIUMS
No class of plants are more showy during their nlooming season than the pelargoniums, and the gorgeous beauty of the clusters
of their vari-colored bloom will well repay extra care expended in their culture.
The greatest success will be attained by securing and starting your plants in the fall and winter, potting in soil well enriched with

well-rotted manure, repotting in larger pots as often as the growth of the plant demands it.

ered with bloom by the Easter period,

This will give you-a fine large plant cov-

Durirtg the hot summer months, ” plunge the pot level with the earth in a partially shaded place and water rather sparingly as tais

is their season of rest.

About September first carefully remove most of the old soil from around the plant, repotting in fresh soil, and start into active growth.
Plants thus cared for will often carry as many as 50 to 100 clusters of bloom at the beginning of their second blooming season.
Dipping or spraying with a strong tobacco tea will rid them of any insect pests that may trouble them.

PELARGONIUMS, or LADY WASHINGTON GERANIUMS

The grandest of all flowering plants; do ae resemble the common Geraniums in any particular, neither in foliage nor flower; more

beautiful in every way.

We here offer six distinct sorts, every one entirely different in color and every one a beauty. The Lady ‘Wash-

ington Geraniums are the handsomest of all flowers—once seen, never forgotten.

THE EASTER GREETING, or EVER-BLOOMING SET—Price 30c each, 3 for 80 cents, 12 for $2.80.

EASTER GREETING—Planted out as a bedding plant it will
bloom continually until late in the fall. It will prove the fore-
tunner of a new race of ever-blooming kinds, as it rivals the
Orchids in beauty. This new species is the earliest of all Pelar-
goniums, with enormous florets and clusters, having light green
foliage and of dwarf, robust growth. It blooms from March
until Fall. Florets fiery amaranth-red, with five large regular
shaped spots. The first and only kind to bloom as well bedded
out as in pots, and to do so all summer.

GARDENER’S JOY—The ground color is apple-blossom pink,
the two upper petals have blotches of carbon-brown, the florets
are three and one-half inches in diameter and are joined to
enormous clusters which rise above the beautiful foliage and
remind one of a Rhododendron cluster. It is of a half dwarf
nature and very sturdy. On account of its rapid, luxuriant

growth it is a very profitable market variety.

GLORY—This splendid novelty is quite remontant, florets and
oluster very large; ground color, Cattleya-blue, very much like
the Cattleya Orchid. The upper petals contain two large purple
magenta-red spots, distinctly veined. -An exceedingly beautiful
and entirely new color in Pelargoniums. This kind has a very
robust growth.

LUCY BECKER—This grand novelty is a sport of Easter Greet-
ing, and is like it in everything but color whicn is a rosy-pink.
It is if anything even more free in bloom.

PRINCE—Immensely large flowers, strongly crimped of fine
shade, with from six to ten petals; color rich purple with velvety
black blotches. Remarkably robust habit. The large clusters
tise gracefully above the beautiful foliage. Tne Plooming Diant

witn its enormous flowers makes a striking impression.

GENERAL DE VIBRAY—A favorite wherever seen.

‘ETINCELANTI—A clear carmine.

Long ago, so the story goes, a field of purple flowers swayed in the
warm breezes that swept across the little “Flowery Kingdom”
Japan. Close by the river’s edge the blossoms danced as they saw
tneir pretty reflections in the water and they were as gay as the lit-
tle maids who frolicked along the paths. The blossoms were to be
gathered for their lord’s house, a banquet was to be given and
beauty must be everywhere.

Suddenly a cold wind swept across tne field, the warm sunbeams
fled and the wee maids, looking affrightedly about them, saw a
huge, black cloud spreading across the sky. And then came the
rain, sneets of it beating the flowers to the ground as the maids
rushed to the shelter of a tea house.

When the sun came once more, chasing away the rain, what a
sight met the eyes of the frightened girls as they peered timidly
out! The field of flowers was flattened out before them, the poor,
purple blossoms draggled and torn.

But, as they gazed, a rainbow arched the sky, its end seeming to
rest in the iris-field. Here and there, the bright arch touched the
flowers and, as the girls watched in wonder, the field of flowers once
more waved in the breeze, but the flowers were no longer only pur-
ple. Creamy-white were they and palest lavender, golden-yellow,
blue, mauve, wherever the rainbow had touched, there was a flower
the color of the rainhow! And so, to this day, this flower is known
as “The Goddess of the Rainbow.”’

Today no longer are iris to be found only in Japan. The sim-
plest, smallest garden in America may possess them. They grow
so freely, they respond to care so readily, that, whether you own a
vast estate or a suburban plot, you too, may find the end of the
rainbow in your iris bed, f

No other flower has so many combinations of color, especially of
the delicate and unusual shades, and the name, the rainbow flower,
is most fitting. They are absolutely hardy, as beautiful in form,
texture and coloring as any Orchid, and many are delightfully fra-
grant. They are not particular as to soil; will grow where anything
will, but do better in well drained locations. There is nothing
prettier than this Liberty Iris, blooming from May 10th to June
10th. The colors are gorgeous and they completely hide the plant.
Be sure and plant some Liberty Iris.

‘‘Aristocrat of Flowers”’

SPLENDID PEONIES

Hardy Everywhere

HE wonderful improvements made during recent
years in these old-fashioned hardy plants have
brought them into renewed popularity. The
gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest Roses in
size, form and color, are produced in great abundance.
After once being planted they require little care and
attention, thrive anywhere, and are absolutely hardy
even in the coldest climates; each-year after plant-
ing they grow into greater value, producing more and
more flowers. They are not troubled with insect
pests. Try some of our fine Peonies, and see what
-grand flowers they are. Get it out of your head
that there are only Red, White and Pink Peonies to
illustrate at flowering time. People who visit our
field will say, ‘I have Pink and White Peonies. I
desire onjy Red ones,’’ but when they are shown the
Pink and White, they invariably exclaim, “How
grand! I have none like them.” There is as much
difference in Peonies as there is in Roses.
We have found that divisions do not give the
customer satisfaction; they have to wait too long for
the plant to become established.

For this reason we are not offering
any Peony this year under a one-

year-size.

The one-year plant is a plant divided and reset
a year before. We do not advise our customers to
divide any of these one-year roots if they want
bloom the first year. We find that Peonies should
not be divided more than once in three years.

Special List of Peonies

To those who do not care for the nomenclature of the Peony, we have made up this list, and here offer them as
an aid to making selections. Patrons will find these varieties embrace a wide range of color and form, and are
exceptionally meritorious.

This is our special storage lot dug this fall for Spring planting. You can plant Peonies up until March 1, after
that time we would suggest you wait until next fall. If in need of other varieties write for our book ‘‘Peonies for
Pleasure.”’

All orders for other varieties would be filed until next September as we
never dig Peonies after Decernber Ist.

For a few customers who could not plant their Peonies during the fall season, we
are carrying the following varieties in storage and will fill orders for Spring as long as
this supply lasts. Youcan plant these up until March Ist, but not after that time.
All orders received after March Ist for Peonies will be filed for Sept. 1924 delivery.

‘*PEONIES FOR PLEASURE’’—Concluded

79—EDULIS SUPERBA—(Lemon, 1824.) Crown type; very

early. This might well be called the Decoration Day
Peony, for it has never failed to be in full bloom for May
30th. Our field of thirty thousand plants is a sight never
to be forgotten when seen on that date. A most beautiful
bright clear mauve-pink with silvery reflex that under
good culture measure from seven to eight inches across.
One of tne most valuable Peonies. June rose fragrance.
50 cents each.

30—FESTIVA MAXIMA—(Miellez, 1851.) Rose type; early-

This is not only the finest white in existence, but many
regard it as the queen of all the Peonies. Mr. Harrison
says: ‘“‘This flower has reached the ultimate beyond which
we cannot go. Here at the door stands Festiva Maxima,
white as the soul of the Madonna, with now and then a
blood drop, as though the*iron had sometimes entered
her heart. What a marvelous flower!’ It combines enor-
mous size with wondrous beauty; often seven to eight
inches in diameter. Clear carmine spots on the edge of
center petals. For over sixty years it has held first rank,
and is still the standard of perfection by which all other
Peonies are judged. The most popular white Peony for
cut flowers. June rose fragrance. 75 cents each.

38—F RAGRANS—(Sir Joseph Banks, 1805.) Bomb type; very

late. Compact, full flowers; color solferino-red_with slight
silvery’ reflex; strong, vigorous grower, making shapely
plants; free bloomer in clusters; an old favorite and ex-
tensively grown for cut flowers. 75 cents each.

Bomb type;
midseason. A most striking variety producing large, tri-
colored bloom. The guard petals are blush-pink with
creamy-white center; center of flower overlaid and tipped
with carmine. It combines cream, gold, white, pink,
salmon, peach and apricot, the total color effect of the
flower being creamy-pink; strong, delicate fragrance. Mr.
Harrison says: ‘‘It breaks out into a wild, rollicking pro-
digality of beauty with its large flowers as to almost
smother the plant so great is their profusion. We all take
off our hats as they pass by and cheer for beauty.’’ The
variety Jeanne d’Arc is identical with Golden Harvest.
50 cents each.

28—LADY LEONORA BRAMWELL—(Syn. Docteur Bre-

tonneau.) (Verdier, 1854.) Bomb type; early midseason.
This Doctor has been masquerading for a number of years
under the name of Lady Leonora pale As Guerin
sent out a Docteur Bretonneau, and as this variety is
already better known under this name, we will retain same.
This is a charming, large, full and exceedingly fragrant
flower of perfect symmetrical forni. - The color is delicate
silvery-rose with lively pink center; petais tipped creamy-
white with an occasional crimson fleck. In many localities
grown for cut flowers. Has the true June rose fragrance.
It is a fact that Lady Leonora Bramwell will remain in
better shape longer when cut and placed in cold storage
than any other Peony. . It will keep in this manner for
two months. 75 cents each.

103—LA TULIPE—(Calot, 1872.) Semi-rose type; midseason-

Enormous, globular, fragrant flowers, delicate blush-white,
shading to ivory-white, with red tulip markings on out-
side of guard petals. Again we quote Harrison: ‘‘There
is no Peony so attractive in bud as this. First a ball
interlaced with green, red and white. As it grows these
interlacings become pronounced. There is no bloom
whose unfoldings you watch with greater interest. It
finally opens a solid ball of softest blush with streaks of
carmine. There it sits in all its beauty, a glorious flower
in a chalice of veined marble, emitting a delightful per-
fume.” Our rows of tais gave the appearance of a huge
bank of snow for fully two weeks. 75 cents each.

275—L’ INDISPENSABLE—(Origin unknown.) Rose type; late

midseason. A variety of unknown French origin and sent
out from Holland and is greatly confused with Eugene
Verdier. Indeed most of the Eugene Verdier sold is this
variety. It is a huge ball of delicate baby-pink. Has by
far the most petals of any Peony in our collection. On
the Pacific slope this is said to stand at the head of the
list of all varieties. With us it at times seems to water-
log, and a few outside petals burn. $1.50 each.

135—LINNE—(Verdier, 1860.) Rose type; midseason. Large,

globular, compact bloom. Color tyrian-rose; guards
slightly flecked with crimson; quite floriferous. A good
variety. 75 cents each.

1468—LIVINGSTONE—(Crousse, 1879.) Rose type; late. Very

full imbricated: bloom; both buds and flowers are large and
beautiful. Color pale lilac-rose with sheen of silver; very
free sure bloomer in clusters; upright, erect grower; fine
cut flower variety. One of the prize winners. $1.50 each.

Rose type; early.
Large, convex bloom. Hydrangea-pink, center shaded
slightly darker with a somewhat sulphur-tint in the collar.
This Peony has three distinctive qualities over all other
varieties. First, it blooms any and every year, never
failing; second, it produces more flowers than any Peony
ever introduced; third; it is the most fragrant of all Peonies,
the perfume being delicious. _ In the above three points

most useful all-round Peony we grow. Simply a wonder.
$1.00 each.

7—MADAME EMILE GALLE—(Crousse, 1881.) Rose type;

late midseason. Large, double, cup-shaped, imbricated
flowers; color delicate sea-shell-pink with touches of heli-
otrope and lavender. This is probably the most ethe-
Teally beautiful of all Peonies; inexpressibly grand. Nota
new Peony, but scarce and rare. Quite a number of vis-
itors to our field fairly rave over the great beauty of this
flower. $1.00 each.

Semi-rose
type; midseason. Enormous, flat-shaped flower with broad
petals blooming in clusters; color delicate Hydrangea-pink,
changing as the flower ages to creamy-white. Many of
the central petals and even the guards have minute dark
carmine, almost black, flecks on the tips; fragrant.. What
can we say of this imposing wonderful flower? Visitors
to our fields pause in astonishment before our rows of this
variety. It looks at you from any position or angle at
which you may stand, and seems to say, ‘‘Did you ever
see a flower so sensational or beauty so radiant? - Verily,
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”’
$1.00 each. Py)

35—MEISSONIER—(Crousse, 1886.) (Syn. American Beauty.)

Bomb type; midseason. Very brilliant crimson; full
double flowers on stiff, wiry stems; the stems may some-
times have short crooks in them, but they are never weak.
The coloring is wonderfully rich and brilliant. In the
Chicago cut flower markets this Peony is known as the
American Beauty Peony. on account of the resemblance in
‘color to the Rose of that name. A grand cut flower.
$1.50 each

48—MONSIEUR JULES ELIE—(Crousse, 1888.) Bomb

type; early midseason. This is the king of all Peonies,
and is without question M. Crousse’s masterpiece. _Im-
mense globular, very full flowers. Color an ideal glossy
lilac-pink, shading to deeper rose at the base, the entire
flower overlaid with a sheen of silver that fairly shimmers
in the sunlight. Monsieur Jules Elie is claimed by many
to be the largest of all Peony flowers. On young, vigorous
plants we have had flowers eight and nine inches through.
In fact they are so large and handsome that but few can
tealize they are Peony blooms on first seeing them. An
unapproachable variety from any standpoint. When cut
in the bud, a good keeper, thus fine for cut flowers. _ Our
planting comprises some twenty thousand plants of this
grand Peony. Easily scores the six points of excellence.
“Visitors at the Boston show last year will remember that
a mammoth or rather mastodonic bloom of the same variety
drew the first pface there, too, and in this year’s show at
Boston, both first and second premiums fell to the same
rt.” $1.50 each.

sort.
36—PRESIDENT TAFT—(Blaauw, 1909.) Rose type; mid-

season. Originated on a private estate in France, bought
and taken to Holland and given the Dutch name “‘Frank-
kryh,” which, being interpreted, is ‘‘La France”, but before
being disseminated or any of it sold, the name was changed
to President Taft as a compliment to their American _cus-
tomers, and also for the further reason, no doubt, of aiding
in the sale of the variety. Mr. Ward Welsh, in charge of
our Peony fields, says: ‘President Taft combines so many
of the good qualities necessary to a first class Peony, and
combines these qualities in such a superlative degree that
I have no hesitancy in saying this variety stands at the
head of all Peonies. A vigorous, strong grower, a profuse
bloomer, every shoot being crowned by a big bloom._ The
flower is really of enormous size; there may be Peony
flowers as large, but none larger. The color is a delicate
Hydrangea-pink, complet2ly enveloped in a halo of angelic
white. The fragrance is delicious.” It is certainly a
glorious, gorgeous flower, very large and double. The only
Peony we know that has stripes on the face of the flower.
La Tulipe has stripes on the reverse of the petals. Pres-
ident Taft is a marvelous: flower, both distinct and beau-
tiful. No other just ike it. In some quarters in Holland
it is claimed that Rene Hortense is the same Peony. All
we have to say is that if that is true then a lot of Peony
“‘ginks’’ have been overlooking a big, juicy bet for years
past, and the Peony world should take off their hats and
cheer for Blaauw for the discovery. $2.50 each.

78—RUBRA SUPERBA—(Richardson, 1871.) Rose type; very

late. Magnificent, rich, brilliant, deep crimson, without
stamens; very large, full and double; highly fragrant, and
the best keeper of the whole family. It is decidedly the
best late black; absolutely indispensable to any fine
collection. $1.00 each.

Bomb type;
early midseason. The very best every day white. When
cut a first rate keeper. Flower of good substance and color;
very pretty in the bud state, when it has a faint blush
tint; an old standby. 50 cents each.

524—VENUS—(Kelway, 1888.) Crown type; mid-season. A

delicate shell-pink; tall, free bloomer, considered by many
to be one of the very best Peonies ever introduced. Extra
for cut flowers. Has the true June Rose fragrance. $2.00
each,

‘The Ever-Blooming Butterfly Bush

_ Buddleya Variabilis Magnifica (Butterffy Bush).

It was a matter of some thought before this highly desirable
plant was finally christened. with the common English name by
which it goes. Several years ago there were imported from Europe
some plant novelties and this one was amdng them. We obServed
it carefully for a season and were charmed with its beauty, ease of
‘culture and free flowering habit. The name Butterfly Bush was
_ applied to if because if ‘seems to attract butterflies in large num-

of miniature size and borne by the hundreds on a flower head
which is frequently ten inches long. A single plant the first season
will throw out as many as fifty flower spikes, which increase greatly
in number during succeeding years. The year after planting, it

generally commences to flower in June and. continues each season

until severe frosts nip it. The foliage and blooms are exceedingly
fine. The shrub is rather semi-herbaceous, by which we mean in
some latitudes it will die down to the ground and while perfectly
hardy, we recommend covering the roots with manure, leaves or
other suitable materials as winter approaches, as this will produce
a heavy growth the following season. This shrub is very desirable
