THE PIONEER OF A NEW RACE OF ROSES

ANTE ?9 UNLIKE ANY SPECIES JT OTHER ROSE

Recently brought from China by Plant Explorer Wilson and obtained by us through Veitch, of England, —

just before the war.

This is an illustration of the individual flowers and shows the masses of bloom each slender branch will pro- duce. The branches arch gracefully, like the Spirz2a Van Houttei. Our plants are on their own roots.

REPORT BY Plant Explorer E. H. Wilson

OF THE

ARNOLD ARBORETUM

Who Discovered This Rose in China

“Tt is an upright-growing shrub with slender and spreading branches on which the fragrant flowers are borne in yard-long sprays of soft yellow. As I write in mid- November, the foliage is still on the shrub and has assumed a dark purple tint.”’

Order No. 8555. April 23, ror8. The Rugosa magnifica plants are fine and the Hugonis and Pillar Roses also. They are the kind of stock that justifies the reputation which your firm has acquired in Rose-culture.—A. C. M., Caldwell, N. J.

We had Hugonis in bloom during the last snowstorm and I

never saw a more beautiful sight——Mrs. W. VAN ELEET, |

Washington, D. C., spring, 1917.

Hugonis is unlike any other Rose we know. We have

watched it for years and have never yet known even a tip of a single branch to winterkill. The same excellent report comes from trials made in Massachusetts and Wisconsin.

It bloomed here, this year, the first week in May, two weeks ahead of our otherwise earliest Roses.

It is a spectacular show in itself. Every branch of the previous year’s growth becomes lined on all sides,

to the very tip, with closely set, wide-open, single’

flowers like dainty yellow hollyhocks, and the branches bend over with the weight of bloom.

For bouquets it is great. It comes too early for the —

shows, but a bunch of sprays which we displayed before

the Executive Committee of the American Rose Society

in May, elicited an enthusiastic welcome.

This unique species is fine for shrub planting and makes a symmetrical bush about 6 feet in height and the same in diameter when fully matured. Picture this exquisite bush on your lawn, or at the corners of your house, in early spring. Think of the pleasure of looking forward daily from about the last week in April, when

the buds begin to form, till the plant is a mass of fairy-

like fluffy bloom the first week in May. When through blooming you will still have a most beautiful bush, for the acacia-like foliage on arching

branches makes a most decorative shrub which, as far _ as we are aware, is never touched by disease of any kind ©

but is clean and healthy always. An added attraction is the ruby-colored young shoots springing from the roots, this color gradually changing to a soft green as the shoot ages. The foliage remains on the plant until

well into the fall, when it assumes a purple hue.

Why not be the first to introduce this unique Rose in your neighborhood?

ROSA HUGONIS—A GEM

Editor Horticulture:

I note yours as to Rosa Hugonis in current issue. I havea strong- growing vigorous plant sent me by our old friend, Jackson Dawson, which is a thing of beauty at this present time. It has been out three winters and passed through the last unprotected and comes out uninjured—as good a test of hardiness as could be had. This is the third year of its blooming, always pleasing and admired by all. I have never seen any “‘bugs’’ or troublesome insects on it; it is free from the ugly thorns of the Scotch rose; each branch is a gar- land of most beautiful yellow, elegantly garnished with small deep- colored foliage. I hold it asa gem. Yours, C. W. Holtt.

Nashua, N. H., May 21, 1918.

BEAUTIFUL YELLOW BLOOMS”|

“KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL”

Twenty-two other nations besides the United States are now engaged in war against the enemy. Almost every American is in sympathy with the aims and objects set forth ‘by President Wilson. We must do that which will most help to obtain those objects, and in order to do our utmost every man and woman must maintain physical health, mental poise, and a spirit which shall rise above discour- agement and maintain loyalty to high purpose.

Flowers help to give health and poise, both physical and mental. There is not a soul in this United States who does not need flowers. There are many who do not know they need them, but there are none who will not be the better for them. We speak from experience and an actual knowledge of results and not in hospitals only. Wherever you go, you find that individuals capable of highest accomplish- ments, are those most susceptible, as a rule, to having their spirits refreshed and strengthened by the influence of real beauty.

We feel it our duty to urge patriots everywhere to keep the home flowers bloom- ing. Barbarism is an ugly thing. Civilization loves beauty. Let us strive to main- tain that civilization and keep America beautiful. Yours in the service,

How to Select Your Roses

You, reader, may add refreshing variety and the charm of novelty to your surroundings when you be- come acquainted with the latitude of possibilities in the use of the various families of roses.

The illustrations on this page indicate five princi- pal groups.

1. Polyanthas, or Baby Ramblers, most abundant bloomers. See page 7.

2. Hybrid Tea and Tea Roses, average height 2 feet, with variations. Most popular of all because persistent bloomers. See page 5.

3. Hybrid Perpetuals, average 3 feet or more; large foliage and large flowers; rich fragrance. Bloom in spring only. See page 6. }

4. Rugosa Roses, also Moss, Sweetbriar, and other Briar varieties. See page 6. Too large for planting in the same bed with Teas or Hybrid Teas. Should be fm) ak ee planted as single specimens, or in groups like shrubbery. Also

(ae used for hedge purposes.

5. Climbing Roses grow from 4 to 30 feet in height. Hybrids of Wichuraiana, and Multiflora, page 8, for covering stumps, archways, trellises, training over the sides of buildings, ete. In the Spring Catalogue, see even larger list of varieties.

Ten Choice Everblooming Roses

FOR FALL PLANTING

Some eminent Rose-growers prefer fall planting, but the time for getting the Roses dug, shipped, and replanted before the ground freezes is rather limited, inasmuch as the plants must not be moved before they are thoroughly ripened— about the first of November. We expect to ship early in November but if you live in the northern tier of states you should cover your Rose-bed with litter or straw to prevent | freezing until your plants arrive. We are fortunate in having a list of the finest kinds to offer and when your plants are set out, protect them as directed below.

By planting now you will be ahead of people who defer planting until spring, and your plants will be starting to grow when theirs are being planted.

EVERY PLANT LIVED THROUGH A MONTANA

WINTER

Please send at your convenience Roses as per attached list. It is a pleasure to state that every one of the Roses purchased from you last year grew perfectly, notwith- standing the fact of a one-foot fall of snow a couple of weeks after planting.

We trust that this order will come through in as good condition.— BRIDGER MERCANTILE Co., Bridger, Mont.

OPHELIA. (H.T.) Introduced in 1913 and so greatly in demand on account of its excellent qualities that there are never enough plants to fill all orders. Color is salmon-flesh, shaded with rose. The blooms come on strong stems, and the perfectly formed flowers, with their strong, firm petals, are very lasting when cut. A favorite with everyone who grows it, and we commend it highly. (See cut.)

KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. (H.T.) Flower is larger, more double, and a more brilliant pink than the parent Killarney. It is also fragrant and blooms freely. A desirable addition to this famous family and a Rose that pleases everyone. Splendid as a cut-flower.

GRUSS AN TEPLITZ. (H.T.) The color is dark, rich crimson, passing to velvety, fiery red. One of the brightest colored Roses we know. Flowers are large, full, and very sweet. A most popular Rose, as it blooms almost continuously. A very strong grower.

LA FRANCE. (H.T.) This is probably the most popular Rose in cultivation. Both buds and flow- ers are of lovely form and grand size, exceedingly sweet; color fine peach-blossom, elegantly clouded with rosy flesh. Begins to bloom early in the season, and continues bearing until stopped by freezing weather.

WHITE KILLARNEY. (H.T.) In form, size, and freedom of bloom, this Rose is the same as the famous Pink Killarney, of which it is a sport, but

it is more double and the flowers are pure waxy white.

MME. CAROLINE TESTOUT. (H.T.) The great bedding Rose. A grand variety, with large, full flowers and handsome buds which resemble the famous La France Rose, but the color is clear rich

OPHELIA

pink, finely edged with silvery rose. A strong grower and abundant bloomer. One of the best for open-ground planting.

RICHMOND. (H.T.). A strong-growing Rose that blooms almost continuously. It is brilliant crim- son-scarlet in color and very beautiful in bud form. It is not very double, but on account of its brilliant color, strong growth, and free-flowering habit it is greatly in demand as a cut-flower.

PRINCE OF BULGARIA. (H.T.) Large, full double flowers of splendid form. Color, silvery flesh, deepening to the center and delicately shaded with salmon-rose. Unusually fine in form, color, and general habit of growth.

GENERAL MacARTHUR. (H.T.) Color, bright glowing crimson-scarlet; a vigorous grower, every shoot producing a flower of intense brilliant color; very sweetly scented. Unexcelled as a splendid all-round garden Rose.

PINK MAMAN COCHET. (T.) A queen among Roses, one of the best and most beautiful varieties ever grown, and quite hardy. The flowers are of enormous size, very full, and of great depth and substance. Color, rich coral-pink, elegantly shaded with rosy crimson; has broad, thick, shell- like petals and makes superb long-pointed buds; immense bloomer, and flowers the whole season. Deliciously sweet and a vigorous grower.

Price, strong field-grown plants, 60 cts. each, or $6.50 per doz. 0

WINTER PROTECTION FOR ROSES.

Your plants need protection against thawing as much as freezing; sudden thawing kilis more plants than intense cold. Protect your

SS plants so they will not thaw too suddenly and then uncover them gradually in the spring when danger from further heavy frost is past. The best protection known is to hill the earth around the stems to a depth of 6 or 8 inches and cover this with

strawy manure or leaves.

You cannot prevent freezing but you can prevent thawing until the proper season.

Hardy, Continuous- Blooming Baby Rambler Roses

FOR PERMANENTLY EDGING WALKS OR FLOWER-BEDS

These perfectly hardy, continuous-blooming, dwarf-growing Roses have won for themselves a conspicuous place with rosarians. They bloom from June till frost and keep color in your garden or on your lawn even during the hottest days in summer, when other Roses are gone. Use them generously for planting along walks, for dividing-lines where a tall hedge is not needed, and for solid beds. ,They bloom as freely as

geraniums and, being perfectly hardy, their first cost is the only cost.

Price, 2-yr. field-grown plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 0

Plant Shrubs——Here’s Another Reason

“IT. WAS THE BEAUTIFUL YARD THATLHELPED TO°SEEL THEIL EAGE

I bave just lately sold my home and grounds that were well covered with C. er J. plants, and in fact it was the beau- tuful vard that helped to sell the place. I have just purchased another place and will next spring plant C. er J. plants.” No. 34456. —J.C. G., Hurley, S. D.

Two Instructive Sketches for Home Owners Mother Nature, with the Assistance of a Few Vines and Shrubs, Made No. 1 into No. 2

Picture No. 1, you will note is a house. Unfortunately, houses like this are all too common because their owners or tenants do not realize that the expenditure of a few dollars on shrubs and vines, plus some joyous, health- ful, outdoor work, will transform a place in a couple of years, from an en- closure of wood, bricks or stone, called a house, into a cosy, inviting home.

Spend not over 2; per cent of the value of a house for outdoor plants— shrubs, hardy vines, grass seed, and hedges, and you will add more to the value of the property than Io per cent spent on decorating the house itself. The 2 per cent ground decorations increase rapidly in value with little care

_and practically no further expenditure, while the 10 per cent paint or other No. 1 house decoration deteriorates annually.

Suppose you are interested in dividends more than mere beauty! Then do as large real-estate operators do and use hardy, hei plants and vines

to increase the value of your property.

If your house is not already closely surrounded, your first care should be to plant a living, green, inviting non- ee fence of Japan Barberry or Privet along your boundary lines and, when planting is finished, you will be amazed at the different “feel” there is about your place. *

Useful Ornamental Hedge Plants

Beautiful hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are everywhere coming into more general use. They lool better than fences, last longer, and cost less. When once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to keep them the desired shape and size. A fence rots and causes

trouble; a hedge grows better looking every year and it immediately adds value to your home. Try it.

; An attractive hedge of Japan Barberry.

Japan Barberry

Look around, next time you go out, and consider |

the difference between a property with a neatly kept hedge and a hedgeless one. A hedge, even when young and just planted, increases the value of the property at once and out of all proportion to the cost of the plants. Order yours now.

Japan Barberry is the ideal shrub and hedge plant, gracefully beautiful in summer, with its arching thorny branches thickly covered with small, fine, rich green leaves, which change in the autumn to a unique fiery crimson. Our stock is grown from cuttings and produces a uniform, shapely hedge.

It is chicken-proof, dog-proof, cattle-proof, and also ornamental

orga one.” E A t

HARDY

(Berberis Thunbergit) EVERYWHERE

Do not confuse this Japan Barberry with the Common Barberry (Berberis vulgaris). The latter is a host-plant for wheat-rust and therefore has been ordered destroyed by the Federal Government. But the Japan Barberry 1s absolutely safe for yourself and for the wheat crop. It is recommended by Uncle Sam and is the best hedge plant we know.

These Fruits Will Help You to Help Hoover Phe COst. LLL LE. SPACE, LITTLE BABOR, AND BRINGeBIG RETURNS

When you plant a home-garden nowadays you have to consider what will give the best returns for the space occupied. These fruits all ‘‘earn their keep’’ and more, for from a single grape-vine, well matured, it is easy to get at least a bushel of luscious fruit for eating or preserving for winter. Blackberries and raspberries also produce fruit bountifully. So plant wherever space can be found.

Delicious Grapes

_ Niagara. This most popular white Grape is grown in enormous quantities for the market, where it finds a ready sale. The berries are large, amber-white, with white bloom, thin-skinned, tender pulp, sweet, and luscious. The clusters are large and compact and ripen in midseason. 30 cts. each; 6 for $1.50 0.

~ McPike. A very hardy Grape, purplish black in color. Succeeds everywhere. The berries are large and deliciously flavored. 50 cts. each; 6 for $2.50 0.

Berckmans. A lovely sweet Grape with berries of ~ medium size which form in large solid clusters. A variety you should grow as the fruit is not often seen

on the market. 30 cts. each; 6 for $1.50 O.

Grapes are ornamental as well as fruitful. Plant them wherever you have a place where the vines can be tied. You can plant them against buildings, over arches, on trellises, etc. These vines grow fast, they have large leaves, and make welcome shade in summer.

Hardy Perennials

OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN FLOWERS

FIRST COST THE ONLY COST— ONCE PLANTED THEY ARE THERE TO STAY

Autumn is the best time in the year for planting some Hardy Perennials. They get well established

during the winter and are ready to start growth with the first sign of spring.

They are valuable for adding brightness and color to the border beds, and a comparatively small collection will enable you to have some flowers in bloom all summer through. Useful as cut-flowers.

The first figure after a variety indicates height of growth. The next figures indicate the months the flowers bloom in this locality. Some variation must be allowed according to latitude.

DIRECTIONS.—We send you most of these in strong roots. Allow from I to 3 square feet of space for each. After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to within 3 inches of the ground, and give the bed a good coat of half-rotted manure, which wil! protect the plants and enrich the ground; dig this under in the spring before new growth starts.

Prices: Unless otherwise noted, 25 cts. each, 12 for $2.50, postpaid (remember that our postpaid prices include delivery charges for which many other firms charge extra), or $12 per 100 (. 25 or more at this rate.

Will bear flowers and fruits in any ordinary living-room. Fruits are immense. Equal to three or four ordinary Lemons

This is one of the grandest fruits for house culture ever introduced. The flowers are pure waxy white, very sweet and like orange blossoms; the leaves are thick, glossy green, and shine as if varnished.

The tree is a strong, healthy grower and may be set out in a pot or box during the summer and taken indoors for winter. It requires no coddling and will bear fruits quickly

as soon as established. February 20, 1917.

I bought a Lemon and Orange tree from you several years ago. There has never been a day when the Lemon-tree has not had both Lemons and blossoms on it.—Mrs. H. M. L., 904 Hume-Mansur Building, Indianapolis, Ind.

Hyacinths in Separate Colors

Our Fine Selected Hyacinths in Separate Colors are good-size, well-matured bulbs, sold at low prices and specially recommended for bedding and also for winter blooming in the conservatory and window- garden, when the higher-priced kinds are not desired. They give excellent satisfaction.

We have given these Hyacinths a thorough trial in our proving beds year after year, and we find by experience that for outside planting the best results are obtained from the single varieties, as the spikes are always clothed with well-formed florets and are generally larger than the double varieties. As many of our customers prefer the double flowers, we offer first-class, well-matured bulbs of both kinds.

The 1’s flower together and are the earliest of all; 2’s follow before the 1’s are gone, etc. The height is indicated by D for Dwarf, M for Medium and T for Tall.

Getting the Most out of Tulips

Plant boldly in masses, avoid the one-flower spotty effect. Group several of a kind together, especially along the hardy border or in beds that will later bloom with summer colors. For May or even April, Tulips add just the needed bit of color to brighten the entire lawn.

Early Spring-Flowering Bulbs for Naturalizing

If your lawn and grounds are a pleasure to you during the summer and fall, why not extend this pleasure y beginning a month or so earlier in the spring than you have been doing? This can easily be managed by Naturalizing some bulbs, such as Crocuses, Narcissi, Daffodils, and Jonquils. Crocuses should be planted in the open where they will get full sunlight, and they are most effective when scattered over the lawn and not planted in straight rows. Poet’s Narcissi can be planted in clumps in corners and, like Jonquils, can be used for edging beds. Daffodils prefer some shade and a good deep soil but will grow almost any- where. If you plant Crocuses, Poet’s Narcissi, and Daffodils you can havea range of colors from silvery white and shades of yellow to deepest blues to brighten the early spring. Start this season. 27

Uncle Sam Uses Them for Striking Color Effects

whC. & J. WONDERFUL NEW LILY-CANNAS

Of all high-grade Cannas in general use today, our Vice-President, Mr. Wintzer, has originated here probably more than any other three firms combined. We have carried off first prizes, not only from the international contests held in London before the war, but in every noteworthy exposition in this country— from Chicago, 1893, to the last ones, San Francisco and San Diego, 1915; and now over 20,000 grace the grounds of our National Capital, where they hold aloft the slogan for Swastika Brand Cannas, “Best by Government Test.”

FOR FULL INFORMATION ABOUT VARIETIES, SEE OUR SPRING CATALOGUE

An Interview at Washington, D. C.

A reprint from THE FLorist’s EXCHANGE of October 28, 1916

“The fact of the matter is that in the next 15 years Cannas are going to have the right of way. There is nothing to equal them.”

It was Mr. Henlock speaking, expressing, not a burst of enthusiasm, but deliberate conviction born of long experience. Mr.

Henlock is a gardener of the first order. Technically, he is in the War Department, U. S. A.; practically, he is responsible for the

best possible show of bloom and color display throughout the grounds that surround the Capitol, White House, and the other public buildings of our National Capital.

When the Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Lane, wants a bit of beauty

Note the made to modify the severe exterior of the Patent Office, it is Mr. Henlock

immense who knows what is needed, and who does it.

head of _ Well, what did it need?’”’ It needed color, of the right shade, in the bloom right place, and for such big buildings a hold stroke of color, and further,

color that would stay there all summer and still not break up the broad sweep of lawn round about. What plant is there that can turn /->~ such a trick but the Canna—the new, big, broad-petaled | ey Cannas, such as have been coming out of West Grove, 42 =\\! and such as have convinced the men who know how to use them that ‘‘there is nothing to equal them?”

“When the superintendents from the parks of other big cities come here they are impressed, for they can very well see that we consider Cannas the thing. ‘You starve yours,’ is what I tell them.”

“And then, Mr. Pyle, another thing that is important—study colors: don’t mix them in the same bed; the effect will be far more pleasing, as of course you know.’’

Mr. Henlock had much to say about the one variety that has distinguished itself for size, color, and abundance of bloom— “Wintzer’s Colossal’’—‘‘flowers as big asa man’s hat.” “‘Is there any wonder, ’’he said, ‘“‘that tourists from Denver, Chicago, St. Louis, and New York ask, ‘What is it?’ ‘Where can I get it?’ We tell them!”’

“And,”’ he added, “I want to say this—Practically ALL the Cannas that we have here in Washington (over 20,000) came from The Conard & Jones Company at West Grove!”’

We have over 70 varieties of the most famous Cannas in the world and you will find them offered in our Spring Catalogue which will reach you early in January. Plan and prepare your beds now for continuous bloom next summer and autumn.

NEW BRILLIANT RED HARDY CLIMBING ROSE

Aunt Harriet

Originated by the famous rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. Introduced in 1918 by the FARM JOURNAL, of Philadelphia. Grown and distributed by The Conard & Jones Co. Received 86 points and Certificate of Merit at the Hartford Rose Gardens Show, June, 1918.

ONE OF THE FINEST DAZZLING RED CLIMBERS TO DATE

For porches, arbors, and arches this Rose will prove immensely popular, as it is among the finest of recent introductions in this hardy climbing class. It is a cross between Appoline and Wichuraiana. The wonderfully brilliant coloring and free-flower- ing habit of Appoline is retained and also the dark shiny foliage and rugged hardiness of Wichuraiana. In full bloom it is amazingly fine with its masses of dazzling scarlet-crimson Roses loading every branch. The bright effect is in- tensified by the pure white centers and brilliant golden anthers which shine out when the flowers are fully open. Own-Root Plants, 2-yr. size, $1.50; Star size, $5, 0 (see page 3).

““The Rose with One Thousand Perfect Blooms”’ June 27, 1918.

In r910 I bought of youa Dr. Van Fleet Rose. Last year I cut from it by actual count one thousand perfect roses. Many also bloomed and died on the vine. Several dozen went by parcel post to Vermont and were reported to have kept in good condition nearly two weeks. I have not had or seen another Rose grown outdoors with so much of the delicate beauty that is usually produced only in a hothouse—MIss FAITH BRADFORD, Cummings Lane, Chevy Chase, Md.

A leader in this new class of handsome, large-flowered, per- fectly hardy climbers. The foliage is shiny and attractive always, making a beautiful setting for the rich flesh-colored flowers. The buds are exquisite and the blooms, coming on strong stems I2 to 18 inches long, are unexcelled for table decoration. Hundreds of fragrant flowers can be cut from one well-matured plant. 2-yr. size, 50 cts.; extra 2-yr. size, 75 cts.; Star size, $1, 0 (see page

s , ( pas 3). June 16, 1916.

The Rose, Dr. W. Van Fleet, I got of you last year is the admiration of the whole community.— Mr. C. S. M., Westfield,
