JULY 1st, NOT LATER

HERE is no more useful garden caliiee than
what is known as Dutch Bulbs— Hyacinths,
Tulips, Narcissi, Crocuses, etc. They give, for a
small outlay of time and money, an abundance of
flowers in the house from December until April,
and in the garden from almost before the snow
is off the ground in the spring until the middle
of May. These bulbs are grown almost exclu-
sively in Holland, and in enormous quantities,

where they are sold at very low prices. Usually they pass through the

hands of two dealers, and more than double in price before reaching the
retail buyer in America.

By ordering from us nol, instead of waiting to buy from the local
dealer in the fall, you save from 25 to 50 per cent in cost, get a superior
quality of bulbs not usually to be obtained at any price in this country,
and have a much larger list of varieties to select from. Our orders are
selected and packed in Holland, and are delivered to our customers in
the original packages immediately upon their arrival from Holland, per-
fectly fresh and in the best possible condition.

If you wish to take advantage of our very lol prices, we must have
your order not later than July ist, as we import bulbs to order only.
They need not be paid for until after delivery, but, if you have had no
account with us, please send reference with your order.

Attention is directed to the extremely low prices quoted for fine
named Narcissi. These prices will permit of their being used in quan-
tities for bedding or naturalizing.

The prices quoted on the following pages are very low, but if-you
wish to buy a large lot of bulbs, fifty dollars’ worth or more, send us
your list for estimate, and we may be able to make still lower prices.

Terms of Payment, FE-tc.
PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING

HYACINTHS, TULIPS, CROCUSES, Ete.—The prices quoted in this list on all Duteh Bulbs, Bermuda Lilies and
Roman Hyacinths are for advance orders, which must reach us not later than July 1, 1904. To make these very low prices,
which are, in many instances, lower than American Wholesale Prices, we must have our orders in advance, as we cannot
take any risk of having stock remain unsold on our hands. The bulbs will be delivered at the proper season, and need not
be paid for until after delivery. Prices quoted include the 25 per cent duty and all charges except freight or expressage
from Pittsburg.

TIME OF DELIVERY.—Bermuda Lilies arrive in August; Roman Hyacinths, Freesias, Candidum Lilies, the latter part
of August or early in September; Dutch bulbs, Hyacinths, Tulips, ete., about October 1 to 10. In ordering, please state
whether you wish bulbs shipped as they arrive, or all in one shipment, about October 1 to 10. Dutch bulbs may be sent
safely by freight, but we advise shipping bulbs or plants that arrive in November, by express. In absence of instructions we
will send all bulbs in one shipment, except Japanese Lilies and Lily-of-the-valley, which will be shipped upon arrival in
October and November. Some dealers make a point of offering Dutch Bulbs for sale very early in the fall, which often
necessitates the shipping of bulbs from Holland before they are properly ripened—a frequent cause of failure to bloom. We
do not usually try to deliver Dutch bulbs before October 1, which is quite early enough; and last fall, on aecount of the
wet season in Holland, we did not make delivery until two weeks later than this.

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS.—Please send full shipping instructions. State whether goods are to be shipped by freight
or express, and by what route. In the absence of instructions, we will ship by whatever method and route we think best.

TERMS OF PAYMENT.—Our terms of payment are invariably cash on delivery, which does not mean that we ship
C. O. D., as we will not do so under any circumstances. We deliver the goods and mail bills at the same time, and expect
payment within a few days. People unknown to us will please send references with their orders. Those who wish to send
eash in advance with their orders will be allowed a discount of five per cent from the prices quoted on this list on all orders
received before July 1, 1904.

GUARANTEES.—We guarantee all trees, shrubs, plants and bulbs furnished by us to be first-class, true to name and
delivered in good condition when shipped by express. Stock is shipped by freight at purchaser’s risk, and customers must
make claim on railroad companies for any loss caused by delay.

We do not guarantee stock to grow, or results in any way. No complaint will be entertained that is not made immedi-
ately upon receipt of stock.

There are so many causes for failure over which we have no control that we can assume no responsibility after stock is
delivered in good order. Poor soil, unfavorable weather, ignorant or careless culture, all contribute to failure, and all are
beyond our control.

EARLY ORDERS.—The earlier orders are given the better we can have them filled. Some of our customers are now
giving us orders to be delivered next spring. Our representative usually sails for Europe early in July, and personally selects
the stock for all import orders received by July 1.

CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except that six bulbs will be fur-
nished at dozen price, fifty at hundred price and five hundred at thousand price; but it is suggested, where these quantities are
too large, that two or three friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage, and save transportation charges.

SPECIAL IMPORT ORDERS.—Special orders will be taken to import from Europe anything desired in trees, shrubs or
plants. For this service we charge a commission of 25 per cent, but as we buy everything from the growers at lowest whole-
sale prices, customers can depend on getting the stock for less money than it can be obtained in any other way. Our knowl-
edge of nursery stock and our experience in importing will save our customers from any mistakes in bringing over stock not
suited to our climate, or stock that can be bought to better advantage on this side.

PLEASE NOTICE the date of delivery and the limit of time for receiving orders for the different classes of stock.
Often orders are sent us too late in the season to be filled.

EXPERIMENTAL GROUNDS.—For our own information and for the benefit of our customers, we have established
experimental grounds where all promising novelties are tested. We also grow all varieties of trees, shrubs and hardy plants

generally in the trade, so that we can have full information as to their respective merits.

Flowers for the House from Christmas

until FLaster

It is possible to have an abundant supply of flowers in the house from Christmas until Easter, and with no greater facilities than are
to be had in every dwelling house, and at comparatively small cost. Both Roman and Dutch Hyacinths can be bloomed in the winter with
certain and satisfactory results. Roman Hyacinths ean be had in bloom by Christmas or earlier, and are the most satisfactory bulbs that
can be grown for winter tlowers. They come into bloom

quickly, and it is almost impossible to fail with them. The
most delightful way to use them is to plant a quantity ina
fern dish, jardiniére or other receptable suitable for using
for a centerpiece for the dining table.
made in a variety of styles, and cost from $2 or $3 up to
$25 or $30 for heavy silver plated ones such as are made
by the Gorham Manufacturing Company.
not planted directly in the fern dish, but in a zine pan,
which is made to fit inside of the fern dish. Extra zine
pans can be had, and when Roman Hyacinths are to be
grown, from six to twelve extra pans should be used. The
Roman Hyacinth should be planted in the pans in the fall,
from September 1 until the last of November, at intervals

of two weeks.

The soil used should be light and rich, one-third good
soil, one-third sand, and one-third thoroughly rotted
manure, and the bulbs planted thickly, so that they almost
touch. As soon as planted, they should be well watered
and then set away in the coolest part of the cellar, and not
near the furnace or any fire heat. If the cellar is a light
one, the bulbs should be covered with boxes, canvas, or
anything that is convenient to keep them dark.
gets dry it can be watered, but not oftener than once in
two weeks. Roman Hyacinths may be brought into the
light and heat about December 1, and will be in bloom in
-about two weeks. After bringing into the living-room
they should be freely watered. By bringing a pan or more
of bulbs from the cellar every ten days, a succession of
flowers for the table can be had all winter and spring. A
centerpiece of growing Roman or Dutch Hyacinths makes
the most beautiful table decoration that can be obtained,
does not cost one-fifth as much as cut-flowers, and will last
in perfect beauty for ten days or more, while eut-flowers
are often faded before a dinner is over.
growing Roman Hyacinths can be from 3 to 5 inches deep,
but pans for Dutch Hyacinths should not be less than 4
inches deep. Do not attempt to force cheap mixed Hya-
cinths; the results will not be satisfactory.

six spikes to each bulb, are very low-priced, and are the easiest bulbs to bloom in the
house. The white variety is the earliest, most beautiful and satisfactory one to grow.
By Dutch Hyacinths are meant the large-flowered varieties, which everybody knows. The
single varieties are the only ones to grow in the house, and are much more beautiful than
the double sorts. Dutch Hyacinths should be treated in the same manner as Roman
Hyacinths, except that the bulbs should not be brought out of the cellar before February 1.
Single Early Tulips and Narcissi (Daffodils) can also be bloomed successfully in the house,
if not attempted too early. They can be bloomed in March, and a splendid display of them
ean be readily had for Easter. They should not be brought from the cellar until March 1.
The following varieties of Narcissi are the most satisfactory for blooming in the
house: Bicolor Empress, Emperor, Incomparabilis Alba Stella, Von Sion, Poeticus,
Ornatus, Barri Conspicuus, Golden Spur, Princeps, Paper White, and all varieties of
Polyanthus Narcissi. Almost every house
contains flower pots, jardiniéres, etc., that
might be utilized for growing bulbs. Zine
pans or bowls to fit inside of them ean be
made by any tinner, and the choicest ware
thus used without injury.

Lilium Harrisii. Zrue Bermuda Easter Lilies

(READY IN AUGUST)

It is impossible to obtain Bermuda Lily bulbs that are entirely free from disease.
We get the best bulbs obtainable, but cannot guarantee results

This Lily is now so well known that it needs no description. It is undoubt-
edly one of the most popular flowers ever used for forcing. The bulbs we supply
are of the highest quality obtainable, and are perfectly true, and not mixed with
Lilium longiflorum. It cannot be grown outdoors unless extremely well pro-
tected in winter. If a Lily of this character is desired for outdoor planting,
LL. longiflorum should be used.

TRITELEIA
This charming spring-flowering bulb is al-
most unknown in this country, but I know of
nothing lovelier. I first saw it in the garden
of Mr. Charles A. Dana, “Dosoris,” Long

Island, and was delighted, as I am sure every

one will be that tries it. It likes rather a moist

soil and should be planted where it can remain
permanently. It can also be bloomed in the
house with the same treatment as hyacinths.

For this purpose several bulbs should be

planted in a 6- or 7-inch pot.

with beautiful foliage which covers the

LARGE-FLOWERED CROCUSES.

CROCUSES IN THE GRASS

There is no reason why everybody, even if the possessor of only the smallest strip of grass, should not have it filled with Crocuses.
The cost is but a trifle, and once planted they are no further trouble, and bloom beautifully year after year and do not interfere with the
mowing or care of the lawn; but grass should not be mown for two weeks after flowering of Crocuses, and it does not need mowing earlier
than this. They should be planted in the fall and set from 1 to 2 inches below the surface of the ground; they can be planted with a narrow
trowel or stiff-bladed knife. Mowing the grass in the spring after the Crocuses are done blooming will not injure them in the least.

The Crocus is the first flower to bloom in the spring, and it is no unusual sight to see the ground covered with snow and the Crocus in
bloom at the same time. They are entirely hardy, do not deteriorate, and may be left undisturbed for years. It is a good thing to plant
tulip and hyacinth beds full of them, as they bloom and are out of the way before the other bulbs flower.

Carpet-beds with designs worked out with Crocus are very effective in early spring. Crocuses should be planted 1% to 2 inches apart,
and for this purpose Mixed Croeuses should never be used.

My advice would always be to plant Named Crocuses; they are very superior to Mixed sorts.

EXHIBITION HYACINTHS

This class comprises extra fine bulbs, the finest grown, and will be
sent with each name, color and shade separate and marked. It isa
fact well known to importers of bulbs that few of the very finest
Hyacinths of Holland find their way to this country, as they are
chiefly marketed in Germany and England, at very high prices, for
the use of wealthy amateurs. These Hyacinths are commended to
those who wish the very finest quality for exhibition or for the decora-
tion of the conservatory. They embrace the most magnificent colors
and choicest varieties of Show Hyacinths, both single and double.

SINGLE SMALL HYACINTHS FOR FORCING

These single Hyacinths, planted on arrival from Holland, may be had in flower early in January. The bulbs and flowers of these small
Hyacinths are about the same size as Roman Hyacinths, but much stronger, and the bells are larger, while they do not cost half the price of
Romans. Only those varieties which produce the fine flowers and force easily are selected for this purpose. They may be planted like
tulips, in pots or boxes close together. Last season I sold large quantities. and my customers inform me that they are a great acquisition
to sueceed the Roman Hyacinths, blooming from January till April.

TULIPS

ae We have made a special effort to get the best
— Tulips grown in Holland, and to supply our
customers with the superior class of bulbs
usually monopolized by the high-class trade in
3 England. We have been quite successful in this, and,
- if so disposed, could publish hundreds of enthusiastic
letters received from our customers, testifying to the surpass-
ing quality of the Tulips imported for them. These letters, of
course, refer to Named Tulips. The best results can not be expected
when the cheap Mixed Tulips are planted. Yet our customers report
satisfactory results from our cheapest Mixed Tulips, which are sold
at the low price of $6.50 per 1,000. For our own planting, however,
we never use mixed bulbs of any description. We think fewer bulbs
of the highest grade give more pleasure and satisfaction than many
of an inferior quality.

The following Tulips we have bloomed in our experimental garden,
and they are really novel and strikingly beautiful.

Many are the original wild varieties, and, if planted where they can remain permanently, will improve year after

Our experience has been that permanent plantations of Tulips should not be watered after flowering. They seem to do much better

if allowed to take their chances with the weather, and we know of a lot of single early Tulips planted in a bed in a farm field where they have
never been watered or cultivated in any way, not even the weeds and grass removed, yet they thrive and bloom splendidly year after year.

We wish to call especial attention to Gesneriana Tulip. Without exception, it is the most effective Tulip that can be planted outdoors.

Gesneriana. The tallest, largest flowers and

durable of all Tulips, as it holds its beautiful
color and keeps perfect for a long time, flow-

with glittering blue-black center. This is the
Tulip that attracted so much attention on the
grounds of James McKay, Esq., at Shadyside.

NARCISSUS, EMPEROR

From ‘The Garden.”’

Narcissus

The Narcissi or Daffodils are undoubtedly the most beau-
tiful, interesting and useful of all spring-flowering bulbs.
The flowers have avery great diversity of form, more so than
any other family, and they are exquisitely graceful and charm-
ing. One of their most desirable qualities is that they are a
permanent addition to the garden, and, planted in good soil,
they increase in size and beauty year after year.

A majority of the varieties are of the easiest culture, and
many can be naturalized in the grass, in open woods or
orchards and allowed to take care of themselves. For this
purpose many varieties are so inexpensive that they can be
used by the thousand. It must always be remembered;
when Daffodils are planted in the grass. that it must not be
eut until the foliage of the Daffodils ripens, about July 1,
The illustration shows how beautiful Daffodils are when
naturalized The Daffodils are all fine for cut-flowers, either
for forcing or for growing outdoors; and, at the low prices at
which many of them can be had, there is no reason why they
should not be grown by the hundred and thousand.

We take great pleasure in making a substantial reduct?on in
price for some of the finest varieties, also in offering m1 ay of
the rarer kinds from England not before obtainable in this

country.

Narcissus I mperor

This is the largest and finest deep yellow trumpet-flowered
Daffodil in cultivation, and is really superb, both in foliage
and flower. A few years ago it was selling at $25 per 100,
and last year I sold it at what was considered a very low price,
$7 per 100, but a contract made in Holland this year enables
me to offer fine bulbs at the following prices: 65 cts. per doz.,
$4 per 100, $36 per 1,000.

Special and Import Prices for Fall of 1904

Narcissus, Bicolor Empress

This may be considered rather a high-priced Daffodil for planting |
in the grass, but the effect produced is so lovely and it is so hardy |

and vigorous and increases so rapidly that nothing can be planted
that will be more satisfactory, and as we control the best stock of it
in Holland we can make a specially low price in spite of the 25 per
cent duty now levied on bulbs. If planted in orchards, meadows or
any place where the grass is not mown by a lawn-mower, these
Daffodils will increase in quantity and beauty year after year.
Where they are planted the grass must not be mown before the
middle of June, so that the bulbs may have time to ripen before
the tops are cut off. Price, $4 per 100, $36 per 1,000.

NARCISSUS, GOLDEN SPUR. (See page 16.)

NARCISSI

We presume that for every Narcissus bulb
planted there are one hundred tulips or hyacinths.
That this is a great mistake, any one really
familiar with their old-time merits must admit.
They lack the brillianey of color of the tulips,
but greatly surpass them in variety, delicacy and
gracefulness of form, and one never becomes
tired of their soft, beautiful colors. The great
point in their favor is that they are permanent
additions to the garden. All they ask is that
they be allowed to remain undisturbed, and they
will increase in size and beauty year after year,
and many varieties are perfectly at home natur-
alized in the grass, provided the grass is not
cut before their tops have time to _ ripen.
This is not true of hyacinths and tulips,
which, unless planted under the most favor-
able conditions, must be planted every year to

have in perfection.

Spring-flowering Bulbs

From “Garden and Forest”

This is the season of the year when the catalogues of the Dutch bulb growers should be carefully studied, and when people should
determine what bulbs they will plant for the decoration of their gardens in spring, and where and in what manner they should be
planted. The bulbs need not be placed in the ground until October, but it is well, in all that relates to the garden, to take time by the
forelock, and not to put off the planning of planting operations until the planting time actually comes.

The cultivation of hardy spring-flowering bulbs is one of the most delightful, as it is one of the most satisfactory, of all forms of
gardening. Many of the plants classed under this head yield flowers which no inhabitant of the tropics can excel in delicate charm or
gorgeous splendor. No plants are more easily cultivated, and none give so much pleasure for the small amount of money which they
cost. Many of them increase and multiply without care beyond the first planting, and, once established, go on flowering year after year
almost indefinitely. There is a charm in these early spring flowers, appearing among the melting snows, the first indication that the long
winter has come to an end, which each year grows stronger and stronger, and which no other feeling inspired by the contemplation of
nature’s workings ever quite resembles. Men tire of the most splendid orchids of the tropics, of the masses of color which modern
horticulture spreads over the Chinese azaleas, of all the garden show and gorgeousness of these later days; but who has ever tired of a
snowdrop or a daffodil in early spring?

There is a much larger variety of hardy spring-flowering bulbous plants than is usually met with in American gardens, which, by
a proper selection, may be made gay or interesting with them from March until July, or from the time when the earliest snowdrops and
crocuses appear until the
blooming of the so-called
Spanish and English irises
in midsummer. Many new
species and varieties of the
crocus have been _ intro-
duced into gardens of late
years, and the blooming
period of the plants of this
genus has, in this way, been
materially prolonged.
Among scillas there are
Many charming flowers
blooming in succession dur-
ing six or seven weeks.
The number of different
narcissi which can now be
grown is almost endless.
The attention which has
been bestowed upon these
plants of late years in Eng-
land, by botanists and by
gardeners, is one of the
most interesting phases of
modern horticulture. It has
resulted in the reintroduc-
tion of many species of
narcissi long lost to gar-
dens, and the production of
many new hybrids of more
than passing interest and
value. The tulip and hya-
cinth are too well known to need mention here, except to call attention to the fact that many of the species of tulip (late - flowering
tulips) which have been described at different times in the columns of this journal exceed in beauty, as they certainly do in interest,
those of the more familiar garden races. They should find place in every garden, with quantities of narcissi and scillas, alliums
and snowdrops, snowflakes and crocuses, fritillarias and dog’s-tooth violets, ornithogalums and lilies-of-the-valley. There never was
a garden in which there were too many of these plants, or in which some corner could not have been found which might have been
made more attractive by their presence.

All bulbous plants, however, cannot be satisfactorily used in this way. A garden tulip or a garden hyacinth planted in the grass
appears as much out of place as a dock in a trim parterre; but all the narcissi look better in the grass than in a border, especially the
Poet’s narcissus and the jonquil. Crocuses are more attractive when planted in this way than in formal beds or as edgings, although
they harmonize less perfectly with their surroundings than scillas, all of which look their best when allowed to run wild. Many bulbs
last longer and increase more rapidly when left to themselves in this way than when planted in borders, from which it is often neces-
sary to remove them. It is essential, however, that all these plants should be allowed to thoroughly mature and ripen their foliage,
They cannot, therefore, be planted in grass which is cut early in the season; and even if this were not the case, such plants, springing
from closely cut turf, look less at home and less natural than when they grow among tall grasses or the wild plants which are found
along the borders of woods or on rocky banks. These bulbous plants delight almost universally in deep, rich soil, and, if they are to be
naturalized, and are expected to flower year after year, and to increase, it should be provided for them when the bulbs are first planted.
If this is done, no further care or attention need ever be paid to them, and every year, when they bloom, the fortunate possessor of a

TALL ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS (From photograph)

Tall English Delphiniums

I am tempted to say that the Improved English Delphiniums are the most beautiful hardy plants in cultivation, but I am also tempted
to say this of a score of other things, and, of course, it is impossible to say which is the most beautiful of hardy plants, for they have such
an immense variety of beauty that the wonder grows that people continue to plant bedding plants by the million, which have little or no
beauty, are an annual expense, and cost quite as much as hardy plants whose first cost is their only cost, and which increase in size, in
beauty, and often in quantity year after year. These Delphiniums may not be the most beautiful hardy plants, but they are among the most
beautiful, and nothing can be more distinct and satisfactory. They are stately and picturesque, some varieties growing 8 feet high in rich
soil; they have immense spikes of most beautiful flowers of every imaginable shade of blue, and their season is a long one; in fact, they
will bloom from spring till fall if properly treated.

Hitherto it has been impossible to get satisfactory varieties and plants of English Delphiniums; in fact, no nursery in this country has
had a satisfactory general stock of hardy plants, and I have had the greatest difficulty in getting the plants specified for my landscape gar-
dening work, as this class of plants is extremely difficult to import. The difficulty became so great and my work was so hampered by the
lack of plants to carry it out that I persuaded one of the most capable horticulturists in this country to start a hardy-plant nursery, and
guaranteed the financial results. It is the intention to make this nursery a mode] of its kind, and grow everything in hardy plants worthy
of culture, and to send out nothing but well-grown plants packed in the most careful manner. The Delphiniums described on next page are
one of the offerings of this nursery (The Springdale Nursery).

CULTURE OF DELPHINIUMS.—The culture of Delphiniums is exceedingly simple, and the results out of all proportion to the slight
amount of care necessary. They thrive in almost any position, and may be planted at any time of the year, provided that in summer the
plants are not too forward, and that they be well watered if the weather be dry. The soil may be a rich, friable loam, which suits them
finely; but any soil, even hot and sandy, if well watered and manured, will give excellent results. Dig deeply—trenching is better—add
plenty of well-rotted manure, and plant about 2% feet apart. Placed in lines, as a background to a border, or in groups of, say, three plants
at intervals, the effect of the Delphinium is exceedingly fine. They look well in beds also, arranged at the same distance apart each way.
They are grand grown in masses of large groups of separate colors, and may be associated with shrubs to great advantage, succeeding by
their robustness well in shrubberies. A succession of flowers may be expected from spring to early autumn, especially if the spikes which
have done fiowering early be cut down to the ground; fresh growth will then be produced, which will give blossom. Copious watering in
summer will be attended by increased size of spike and flower; in fact, in seasons of prolonged drought water is absolutely a necessity on
many soils if the varieties are to exhibit themselves in their true size and beauty of flower and spike. Top-dressing is greatly recommended
on certain soils, instead of the bare surface of the ground being left exposed to the sun. Some of the neater dwarf alpine and other hardy
plants may be utilized to plant between and around Delphiniums. Coal ashes strewn over the crowns will protect the plants from slugs
through winter and spring. As we have intimated, any garden soil suits the Delphiniums; it is, however, necessary to secure sorts such as
are offered below, in order to obtain an effect superior to that afforded by the old smaller-flowered varieties. No amount of liberal treatment
will cause the smaller-flowered kinds of a few years back to develop into the gorgeous hybrids of today.

“The Delphiniums were the first thing that attracted my attention, for they were just at their best and there was just about one acre of
them. They made such a sight as I shall not soon forget, so vast was the quantity in bloom, so grand the spikes, and so rich and varied the
different shades of blue. Although I have been a grower of these lovely hardy border plants for some twenty years, I was not prepared to
see so much improvement in color, and was much struck with the intensity of the shade in many varieties as compared with the old Bella
Donna. The varieties which have a shade of bronze in the center are also very fine, the contrast between the bronze center and the deep blue
exterior being very striking. But the shades of color in many of the newer sorts almost baffle description, and I shall not attempt it. Itis
in the doubles and semi-doubles that the greatest advancement has been made, and many of them are truly lovely. They are much larger and
more compact than the old doubles of the Ranunculoides type, and consequently are much more valuable for ordinary garden adornment. The

light blue flowers with the large white eyes are very striking, and of this sec-
tion Britannia is, I think, the very best Delphinium I ever saw. . . . The
Delphiniums do not receive any special treatment here, being simply planted
on a strong loamy soil in an open position. Some few were tied to stakes, but
the majority do not require it, being so dwarf in comparison with the old sorts.
This dwarfness of habit is a great gain, and the greater portion of the plants
were not more than 4 to 5 feet high, yet carried immense spikes of large
bloom.”— The Gardening World.

Delphinium formosum

In the Perennial Delphiniums or Larkspurs we have one of the most beau-
tiful and useful families in hardy plants. The old Delphinium formosum is
one of the few hardy plants which have been pretty generally offered by the.
plant trade; yet it is comparatively unknown, although few things can be
planted that will give more satisfaction, whether the object is decorative effect
in the garden or flowers for cutting for the house. Messrs. J. H. Small & Sons,.
the leading fiorists of New York and Washington, have made quite a hit with
it as a novelty in cut-flowers. The flowers are intense deep blue, perhaps the
most brilliant blue to be found in flowers freely produced in long spikes;
blooms in June and July and continues a long time in bloom, and if the plants
are cut back after flowering will bloom a second time in the fall. The plants.
grow to 4 or 5 feet in-height, and if planted in masses about 2 feet apart will
produce a splendid effect. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100.

Delphinium formosum coelestinum

This rare and scarce Delphinium has all the good qualities of the well-
known Formosum, but instead of dark blue flowers produces great spikes of
exquisite light blue bloom, the loveliest shade of blue in the floral world. I
have always treasured this Delphinium in my garden, but could never get
enough stock of it to offer. This season I have secured three thousand plants,
SPECIMEN PLANT OF IMPROVED ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS. which I can offer at reasonable prices. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100.

Gardening Books and Papers

I am sorry to say it, but there is at present no gardening paper published in America worthy of consideration. For a few years we had
an excellent paper, well suited to the needs of our country. Its editor was able and enthusiastic, and had the business management been as.
intelligent as the editorial the success of the paper would have been unqualified; but the editor was allowed to resign and the paper dropped
into the uninteresting rut occupied by its contemporaries. This is preliminary to recommending the English Paper, The Garden, which is
beyond question the best gardening paper published in the world. It is a weekly, well edited, well printed, and freely illustrated with
pictures made in the best gardens in England. Each number also contains a fine colored plate of flowers of some fine tree, shrub, plant or
bulb, so that it is really a cheap paper at $4.50 per year. I will be glad to forward subscriptions to the London office for my customers.
Since the above was written a new magazine entitled Country Life in America has been published by Doubleday, Page & Co., of New
York, and edited by that high authority, Prof. L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University. This is hardly a gardening magazine, but considerable
Space is devoted to gardening matters, and it is altogether the most beautiful and interesting magazine that I find on my library table. This
magazine has been run on a liberal scale, the publishers believing that there is ample field for a magazine appealing to the better class of
country-lovers. Iam glad to say that their experience has borne out this hope, and the magazine has prospered so that it now has a regular
circulation of above 50,000 copies. Its continuation on its present scale should be a satisfaction to every country-lover and every person
connected with the country. The price is $3.00 a year, it is printed on coated paper, most superbly illustrated, and in every way worth what
the publishers charge. An English paper that gives me a great deal of pleasure is Country Life. It is a 32-page weekly, exclusive of
advertisements, and is beautifully printed and illustrated. It treats of all pursuits and sports of country life, but is especially interesting
on account of its illustrated descriptions of English country places, one of which it publishes each week, showing house, gardens and
lawns. My attention was called to this paper recently by one of my clients, and I was so well pleased with it that I bought all the back
numbers as well as subscribing. The price for American subscriptions is $10.00 per year. I will forward subscriptions if desired.

The best book on gardening ever published, and worth more than all other books on gardening and landscape gardening, is Wm. Robin-
son’s The English Flower Garden, now in its eighth edition. Whatever success I have made as a landscape gardener I owe to the inspi-
ration of this book. It not only teaches good gardening, but, what is quite as important, condemns bad, giving reasons that are convincing
for both. This book has done more to improve the gardening in England than all other influences combined, and I wish it were in my power
to secure its reading by all thoughtful, intelligent people in this country. The book is very comprehensive, treating of the arrangement of
various styles of gardens, and contains descriptions of almost every tree, shrub, plant and bulb of value used in ornamental gardening. It
is profusely illustrated by the best English artists with pictures made in hundreds of English gardens. The price is $6.00. It may be
ordered from any bookseller, or I will forward it on receipt of the price.

A delightful book recently published in England is Wood and Garden, by Miss Jekyll. The book hasn’t much to say about culture,
but is full of good suggestions for arrangement, and the illustrations, from photographs made by the author, are a delight, and should do
much toward the banishment of ugly and inartistic gardens. It is charmingly written by an enthusiastic amateur, and should be read and
owned by every lover of a good garden as well as by those who know nothing of the pleasures of a garden. The book can be obtained
through any bookseller. A later book written by Miss Jekyll, Wall and Water Gardens, tells most interestingly of two of the most fasci-
nating phases of gardening. The pictures are superb and should do much to improve the gardens of England and America. Still another
book by Miss Jekyll is Lilies for English Gardens. A friend complains that he finds no good lily illustrations. Well, he will find them
here, and the best and most exhaustive work on lilies yet written.

Hardy Perennial Phloxes

The beauty and usefulness of these grand border plants give to them a deservedly first place among hardy plants. For cutting, their
large trusses go a long way in floral decorations. In color they range from pure white to the richest crimson and purple, and from soft rose
and salmon to bright coral-red, all having a delicate fragrance. Perennial Phloxes succeed in almost any soil enriched with manure, but are
much benefited by a mulching of decomposed manure in spring, and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water. If the first spike of
bloom is removed as soon as over and the plant given a good soaking of water, they will produce a second supply of flowers, thus continu-
ing the display until late in autumn. These later blooms are often finer than the first.

The following varieties are a selection made by me in France, Germany, Holland and England, and include all the very best of the
new and old varieties.

JAPANESE IRIS

Some years ago a set of Japanese Iris (J. Kempferi) were sent to us from Japan to test, which were said to be identical with the collee-

tion in the Royal Gardens.
in America or Europe that would equal it in any
way. The collection contained many colors and
varieties we had never seen before, and the flow-
ers were of remarkable size and beauty. When
these Irises were in bloom they excited the greatest
admiration and enthusiasm, and it was hard to convince
people that these unique and exquisitely beautiful
flowers were as hardy as apple trees, and as easily
grown as potatoes. They will thrive in any good gar-
den soil, but if the soil is made very rich and deep, and
flooded with water for a month before and during their
blooming season, they will produce flowers of a won-
derful size, sometimes 10 to 12 inches across. These
Irises should be planted in full exposure to the sun.

As the Japanese names are unintelligible and im-
possible to remember, we have renamed this collection.

Since the above collection was received we have
annually added to it the newest varieties from Japan
and new varieties selected from thousands of seedlings
grown on our own grounds, until we now have what is
unquestionably the finest and most complete collection
of Japanese Irises in the world.

These are profuse bloomers, and very attractive in
the house or conservatory during the winter. Plant
3 or 4 bulbs in a pot; the pot should be kept near the
glass to prevent the foliage from growing too long.

Bermuda Buttercup. Greatly improved selection from
Oxalis Cernua, grown in the congenial soil and
climate of Bermuda until the bulbs have attained
great strength, producing plants and flowers larger
and more luxuriant than the common variety lt is
one of the finest of winter-flowering plants for pot
culture, of strong, luxuriant growth; one bulb is suffi-
cient for a 6-inch pot. The great profusion of bloom
produced in uninterrupted abundance for weeks is
astonishing. The flowers are of the purest bright but-
tercup yellow.

POMPONE CHRYSANTHEMUMS

These are the small-flowered Chrysanthemums of the old-
fashioned gardens, and bloom in October and November after
almost all flowers are gone. They are showy in the garden and
effective as cut-flowers, and, being perfectly hardy and of easiest
culture, can be successfully grown in any garden. We offer a fine
collection of the best varieties, ranging from white to deep crimson.
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.

LARGE -FLOWERED CHRYSAN-
THEMUMS

I have collected from farm gardens some of the old-fashioned
Chrysanthemums which are really hardy and which bloom in October
and November, after all other outdoor flowers are gone. I have seen
these Chrysanthemums in bloom when the snow was on the ground,
and old established beds of them are wonderfully showy. They
grow 3 to 4 feet high, and when in bloom are a perfect mass of
flowers. I offer three large-flowered varieties—White, Pink and
Yellow. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.

GROUP OF JAPANESE IRIS.

LIATRIS PYCNOSTACHYA

The popular name of this striking plant is Kansas Gay Feather.
Nothing ean be planted that will attract more attention on account of
a very unusual appearance, but it is very beautiful as well as odd.
It blooms in midsummer and throws up long, narrow spikes of rich
purple flowers which jiast a long time. A peculiarity of this plant is
its great attraction for butterflies. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $9

per 100.
FOXGLOVE. (Digitalis)

In England the Foxglove grows wild, but, notwithstanding this, it
is a great garden favorite, as it well deserves to be. For stately and
picturesque beauty it is not to be surpassed, and planted in masses
in the garden among shrubs or naturalized on the edge of woods, in
the orchard or along brooks, itis extremely effective and satisfactory.
Strictly speaking, it is a biennial, but as it renews itself from self-
sown seed, it may be treated as a perennial. Mr. Falconer has natu-
ralized thousands of Foxgloves in Schenley Park, and nothing he has
planted attracts more attention and admiration. Planted in the fall,
Foxgloves will bloom well the following season. 15 cts. each, $1.25
per doz , $8 per 100.

OLD SPECIMEN PLANT OF TREE PEONY. F'rom the “English Flower Garden.”

Japanese Tree Peonies

Last spring I was invited by one of my customers to see a collection of fifty Japanese Tree Peonies in bloom that I had imported for
him from Japan three years before, and if I could write a description that would give any idea of their beauty the Japanese growers would
not be able to supply one-tenth of the demand for plants. I don’t wonder that the Japs have a special holiday for visiting the Peony gardens;
but I do wonder that we Americans, who boast of our education and refinement, should be content with the poor and commonplace bedding
plants usually seen in our gardens, when such superb floral creations as Japanese Tree Peonies are to be had at a small cost. I have said
this before, but the truth is so important to a lover of a garden and is so little known or heeded that I must keep on repeating it. The first
cost of a fine hardy plant like a Tree Peony is its only cost, and it increases in size and beauty year after year, so that a plant that may have

cost only fifty cents when purchased may become one in a few years that one would hesitate to accept twenty-five dollars for. Such a plant .

is the Tree Peony. I have seen one that had sixty-six open flowers on it at one time, and read a description of another that had over five
hundred blooms in one season. Now, when it is considered that the blooms range from eight to twelve inches across and are of the richest
and most lovely shades of coloring imaginable, it can be understood what a floral wonder a Japanese Tree Peony may grow into. But one
does not need to wait years for enjoyment of these flowers—a majority of the plants will bloom the first season planted, and in the second
season will produce from two to five flowers each. The flowers range in color from pure white to the darkest shade of purple, including all
shades of scarlet, crimson, pink, some in solid colors, some curiously striped or marked. The shades of pink are the softest and most
lovely imaginable.

These Tree Peonies must not be confused with common herbaceous Peonies, which are so popular; instead of dying to the ground every
year they make a hard wooded growth and in time become quite large shrubs.

“The Tree Peony is one of the noblest plants available for the garden; it is quite hardy and flourishes under the simplest treatment. The smallest shrub
will flower in the most astonishing manner, bearing blossoms the size of dinner plates, and the plant increases annually in size until one plant becomes a
veritable bank of living flowers. The ‘l’ree Peony is valuable for isolation on lawns and for borders and in nooks backed by conifers or other shrubs. Any
soil suits it, and any position. It will repay those who afford it good treatment in the form of well-trenched soil and well-rotted manure, and occasional top-
dressings; but it should remain undisturbed as much as possible and be allowed to mature its shoots, which year by year add to the size of the plant until it
becomes the grandest object in the garden. Watering well before and during flowering greatly assists in the production of large, shapely blooms, and where
mild weather in the spring has brought on very early buds, protection of some kind should be given from late frosts. The plant is absolutely hardy, but
where it has been induced by a mild winter to put forth early flowers, the buds get an occusional nip.’ Flowering season: May and early in June.”

I have a set of Japanese water-color drawings of these Peonies, which will be sent for examination on receipt of twenty-five cents to
cover postage. These drawings must be returned, but if Peonies are ordered the amount sent for postage will be allowed on the price of
the Peonies.

Fine blooming plants in 25 choice varieties, $1 each, $10 per dozen; extra selected blooming plants in 25 choice varieties,
$1.50 each, $15 per dozen

Tree Peonies are imported to order only. They do not always arrive in time for fall delivery, and in this event will be stored and
delivered early in the spring.

Named Varieties of Tree Peonies are graited on a common single sort. Care must be taken to remove all suckers below the graft or
they will choke the choice variety out in a few years,

HERBACEOUS PEONIES

I am glad that this good old-fashioned flower is becoming popular again, and if there were nothing to be obtained but the few old-
fashioned sorts once seen in every garden their popularity would be well deserved; but nothing has been improved more than the Peony, and
the English and Japanese growers have given us varieties that are really superb. Many of them are equal in form and coloring to the finest

roses, and some are sweet-scented.

Special Offer of Ornamental Flowering Shrubs
SHIPPED FROM STATION NEAR PITTSBURG

I want to encourage the planting of shrubs. To be effective they should be planted in masses, but when dealers or nurserymen ask
fifty cents each for easily-grown shrubs there is not much encouragement to plant them freely. I have made arrangements by which I can
supply my customers with well-grown shrubs in the best varieties
at the extremely low prices quoted below, but in every instance
the selection of varieties must be left to me; however, in ordering,
if it is stated that certain shrubs are not wanted they will not be
sent. I guarantee these shrubs to be satisfactory in both quality
and variety.

SPECIAL OFFER A.—50 shrubs in fine assortment of 15
varieties, $7.

SPECIAL OFFER B.—100 shrubs in fine assortment of 20
varieties, $12.

Low Prices for Hydrangeas

SHIPPED FROM STATION NEAR PITTSBURG

Prices good until stock is exhausted. Fall or spring delivery.

No more popular plant or shrub has ever been sent out than
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, and I take great pleasure in
offering my customers a large stock of splendid vigorous plants
at such extremely low prices that it will enable them to plant this
effective shrub in quantity.

People who have only seen this Hydrangea grown singly as
specimens have no conception of how beautiful and effective it
is when planted in masses. They are planted in this way at
Newport, R. I., which is famous for its fine gardens, and almost
as famous for its Hydrangeas. These Hydrangeas can be planted
in connection with other shrubbery or in isolated beds, in the same
manner as cannas, caladiums or other strong-growing bedding
plants. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted they are a
permanent addition to the lawn or garden. When grown in beds
or groups they should be planted about two feet apart in very rich
soil, which should be liberally enriched annually with rotten
stable manure, and in the early spring, before they commence to
} grow, cut back so as to leave only two or three inches of the new
TON growth of the previous season; if extremely large flowers are
We desired, cut out some of the weakest shoots after growth has com-
f Hany menced. Treated in this manner they will produce enormous

GF panicles of flowers, and the beds will be a solid mass of bloom.
x They bloom profusely the same season planted. Try them. You
GROUP OF HARDY HYDRANGEAS ON LAWN. will find them more than satisfactory.

Grass Seed for Lawns

I can supply the very best quality of Mixed Lawn Grass
Seed for $2.50 per bushel. This is exactly the same quality
of seed that usually sold for $5 per bushel as Central Park
mixture, or under some other fancy name. Grass seed
weighs only 14 pounds per bushel, and can be shipped in-
expensively by express. Ido not supply less than one-half
bushel. Special prices quoted for large quantities. Grass
seed is sold by weight, 14 pounds for a bushel, but 14 pounds
of clean grass seed will not filla bushel. Grass seed can be
sown advantageously in the fall, preferably in September.

PRICES: $1.50 per 1-2 bushel, $2.50 per bushel

TULIPS AND PHLOX SUBULATA.

CREEPING PHLOXES

The Creeping Phloxes are among the most charming of hardy
plants. They cover the ground with a mat of evergreen foliage at all
times, and during the month of May make the most beautiful carpet
of white, purple or pink flowers. The bloom is so dense that the
foliage is entirely hidden. These Phloxes bloom again in the fall, but
not so freely. ‘They are very useful for border edging, rockwork or
covering bare banks, and for covering graves. Planted in large
masses nothing can be more etfective.

HOLLYHOCKS

Have you ever noticed that painters choose single Hollyhocks as
subjects for floral painting oftener than any other flower? I suppose
the reason for this is that artists have a keener appreciation of beauty
than other people and recognize that the common, and I fear

sometimes despised, Single Hollyhock is one of the most stately,
picturesque and beautiful plants in the world. Nothing can be more
effective than a large group or mass of single Hollyhocks, and once
planted they will literally take care of themselves, even if planted in
the grass. I know of patches that have not been cultivated or dis-
turbed in any way for twenty years. Notwithstanding their great
beauty and usefulness, Single Hollyhocks are not offered for sale by
any nurseryman in America, and the seed is not to be had from any
seedsman. I am determined to have Single Hollyhocks for my land-
scape gardening work, so I collected seed from old-fashioned (they
will soon be new-fashioned) gardens and had thousands of plants
grown for my customers. Some people think Double Hollyhocks are
more beautiful than Single. They are mistaken; although the doubles
are beautiful, but inclined to be top-heavy, often need staking and
are liable to disease. Hollyhocks planted in the fall will bloom well
the following summer.

LANDSCAPE GARDENING

HE majority of American suburban grounds are laid out and planted without the aid of professional advice. The result is
almost always unsatisfactory, although often the expenditure would have secured most beautiful results if directed by skilled
advice. Ido landscape gardening—do it for people of exacting taste, to whom I refer. -I make the plans, with estimates,

purchase the stock necessary and superintend the work. I do any one or all these things, satisfactorily as to results, moderately
as to cost. For small grounds I can make satisfactory plans if furnished with a plat drawn to scale. For large grounds, and
where extensive improvements are desired, a personal visit would be necessary and ean be arranged for on reasonable terns.
I can make no plans during the month of April.
