IMPORTANT ITEMS. oS

U E GUARANTEE every package of PLANTS, SEEDS or BULBS to reach the purchaser promptly, safely and in good —
condition. When we deliver them to you in good order, our responsibility ceases.

As so much depends on the care and attention given to trees, shrubs, etc., after they have been properly planted and
also on the conditions of the weather throughout the following year of which we have no control, it is impossible for us to —
guarantee trees, shrubs, plants or roses to live or assume the risk of their growing, but after reasonable care has been
bestowed on those that have been planted by us, and a loss does occur, it has always been our custom to replace them
at one-half their regular value in other stock. But we do not insure their lives.

We positively will not be responsible for the growing of newly transplanted trees, shrubs, etc., beyond the first |
leafing out in spring. F

FREE BY MAIL—We send Plants, Bulbs and Seeds by
mail except special large-sized plants, which are too large to be
placed in mailing boxes.

WE WOULD ADVISE ORDERING YOUR PLANTS TO BE
FORWARDED BY EXPRESS ——______ —

As the Express Companies have made a special rate of 20 per cent. sill HY |
less than general merchandise on PLANTS, BULBS and SEEDS. : i

When plants are ordered to be sent by express they are much l° ? rf / : iy,

larger and all the soil is left undisturbed, which makes them grow
much quicker than if sent by mail with all the soil taken off the
roots. We always add a few plants gratis of our own selection to
help pay the charges.

SHIPPING PLANTS—All orders for plants will be
held until about April lst, when we begin shipping to the warmer
states and northward as fast as the weather will permit, unless
otherwise requested. If wanted for winter flowering or
immediate use, state the fact and they will be shipped ac-
cordingly, though in case of severe cold storms we may hold for
a few days.

QUALITY OF PLANTS— 0ur long experience in grow-
ing and mailing plants has taught us that it pays to ship strong,
healthy plants, and as we guarantee their arrival in good condi-
tion, customers may rest assured they will receive the best plants
to be had. Case of Plants for Shipping by Express.

NO ORDERS FOR PLANTS by mail will be accepted for less than 50c in value without 10c for postage

accompanies same.

HOW TO ORDER-— Always use the order sheet and fill out the blank spaces carefully, with each article on a sep-
arate line, with the prices carried out, being careful to write your FULL NAME, POSTOFFICE, COUNTY and
STATE plainly,on each letter sent us, and give street number, if any.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS—If you have changed or intend to change your address, please letus know, and we
will change it on our books so that you will receive our Seed Annual without application, at your new postofiice.

HOW TO SEND MONEY—Remit by Draft, Money Order or Registered Letter. Currency in ordinary letters is
at the risk of the sender. Do not send checks or drafts on Western towns unless 15 cents is added to cover cost of collec-:
tion. We decline sending goods C. O. D. unless one-half the amount accompaniesthe order to guarantee the express charges.

PLEASE SEND THE REMITTANCE WITH THE ORDER—We do a strictly cash business, and have no
open accounts in the mail order department.

ORDERS PROMPTLY ANSWERED-—All orders received by us are filled immediately on their arrival, except
in the height of the busy season. They are then filled in rotation as quickly as possible, hence the advisability of ordering
early.

OUR SELECTIONS—When purchasers prefer leaving the selections to us, they should mention in a general way
what they are wanted for, and we will select the best varieties for their purpose.

CUSTOMERS visiting the city and intending to purchase plants from us to take home with them should send us
their orders by mail a day or two before they intend to leave, and we will have the plants already packed ready for them at
the store when they call.

SPECIAL NOTICE—While we exercise the greatest care to have all Seeds, Plants and Bulbs
pure and reliable, we do not give any warranty, express orimplied. If the purchaser does not accept
the goods on these conditions they must be returned at once, and the money that has been paid for
same will be refunded.

Bean—Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod.

Bean—Early Red Valentine. ies EANS
a

DWARF, BUSH OR SNAP.

(1 quart to 100 feet of drill, 2 bushels to an acre.)

All the varieties of Dwarf, Bush or Snap Beans are tender and will not bear the cold. Plant about the middle of April, if the ground is warm and
the season favorable, for a succession, and at intervals throughout the season, finishing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows
feet apart, and the beans 3 inches apart, and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to their stems, but only when dry

working them when wet with rain or dew wil! cause them to rust and injure the crop.

The pods are arich green, very round and straight, five inches long, solid, meaty and broad; they are very tender, brittle and of finest flavor, al-
ways entirely stringless even when fully matured. They are the first to produce pods. For either the market or home garden, no other green-podded
bean is so satisfactory, while by frequent planting fine pods may/be had in constant succession from spring until cut off by heavy frosts in the fall.

Cabbage—Mammoth Drumhead.

CABBAGE

1 oz. will produce 1500 plants, Ya-lb. of seeds in
beds to transplant for an acre.

In latitudes where the thermometer never
indicates 20 deg. below the freezing point, the
“early variety of Cabbage may be sown in the
open border, but in colder climates they must
be sown in a hot-bed, about the middle of
January or the first of February, and planted
Out in March or April, in a rich, deep, loaming
soil, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in the
row. The late varieties are usually sown in the
early part of May, and plants set out in July, in
rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet in the rows. In
transplanting they must be set in other ground
upto the first leaf, no matter how long: the stems

may be. C

CELERY.

One ounce for 2,000 Plants.

Sow the seed the first of March or April. By rolling or pressing the seed
firmly into the ground it has been found more satisfactory than only slightly
covering it.

The seedling plants should be clipped down partially two or three times to
make them short and stocky before transplanting,

The ground where the Celery is to be planted should be highly fertilized and
cultivated, laid off in spaces 4 to 5 feet apart and each space being wide enough
to plant the Celery in rows 6 inches apart and from 3 to 5 rows in space.

Celery does not require to be planted in trenches as in former years. bout
the first week in September the work of earthing up may be commenced and
continued every two weeks until entirely covered up to the leaves. This is done
to bleach the stems and render them crisp.

Y IMPROVED DWARF GOLDEN HEART~—4 variety of great value. In
. size it is the same as the Half Dwarf White.

) GOLDEN SELF BLANCHING—This is the best celery ever raised for
general purposes. Without banking up, or any covering whatever, even the
outer tibs become a handsome glossy, yellowish-white color (see cut).

YWHITE PLUME—Tte peculiarity of this variety is the stalk portions of
inner leaves and heatt; they are white naturally, so that by simply tying the
Riaats together, or by drawing the soil against it, the work of blanching is
complete.

These prices include free delivery in the U. S. If party

wishes to pay transit charges deduct !Oc per pound from

CORN.

Sweet or Sugar; quart for 200 hills, 8 to 10
quarts in hills for an acre.

All varieties of Sweet and Sugar Corn
may be either sown in rows 4% feet
apart, and the seeds placed. about 8
inches apart in the rows, or planted in
hills at a distance of 3 or 4 feet each way.
The taller the variety, or the richer the
soil, the greater should be the distance
apart. We make our first plantings in
this vicinity about the first of May, and :
continue successive plantings every two
or three weeks until the last week in

uly.

MAMMOTH CORY or LARGE
WHITE COB—This new strain is as
early as the original Cory. While the
ears are of a larger size, the grains are
placed more compactly.

Y/Y COUNTRY ENTLEMAN — This
variety of Corn retains its delicate ten-
derness and flavor even when a little
old, as the ears are enclosed in a heavy
husk, which tends to keep the ears in
the milk for several days longer than
; any other corn.

|/STOWELL’S EVERGREEN—This
is the best late Sweet Corn in every way,
being large kernel, hardy and produc-
tive, sweet and tender, and remaining a

Seed may be sown in September or October and wintered
the same as early Cabbage plants, or they may be sown in
Januery or February, in a cool hot-bed. Its culture is similar
to that of the Cabbage. The soil cannot be too rich and deep -
for the purpose. After they begin to head they should be
watered every other day, and the leaves gathered and pinned
together over the heads to protect them from the sun and.
keep them white. The seed we offer is the finest procurable, ~

middle of April. The main sowings are made
in June and July, from which plantations are
formed at one foot apart each way in August and
September. When the plant has attained its

ALASKA PEAS.

(One quart for 75 feet of drill; 2 to3 bushels per acre in drills.)

Peas arrive at maturity earliest in a light, rich soil. For the early crop plant
as early in the spring as the ground can be conveniently worked, and cover about
2inches deep. The smaller varieties should be planted in rows, about 2 feet be-
| tween the rows: the larger growing sorts somewhat further. Ground, to give best
| tesults, should be rich, without the application of fresh manure at time of plant-
| ing#as-it tends to run them more to vines than pods.

FIRST AND BEST —This is indeed the first and best as to earliness and &
aiformity of ripening, maturing in forty days from sowing: very dwarf, growing
ly about 18 inches high.

XTRA EARLY GRADUS—This is the earliest large podded wrinkled
‘pea in cultivation; it grows about 242 feet in height; the pods, which are as

larg s the Telephone, are produced in great abundance and are well filled with
rove to 10 peas of enormous size.

fro <
HAMPION OF ENGLAND-— Acknowledged to be the best of the late tall

Helen The pods are of the largest size, and of a very delicious, sweet flavor.

Height, 5 feet. (See cut.)
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR—The most valuable of all dwarf early wrinkled

peas, usually ready for table in 40 to 45 days from planting, only a very few days
later than the early round sorts. Height about 14 inches; of a vigorous consti-
tution and wonderfully productive. This pea cannot be recommended too highly.

THESE PRICES include prepay charges on packages, pints and quarts. If pur-

chasers wish to pay their own transit charges they may deduct 10c per pint

bed in February. Sowing should be made in drills 10 inches
apart and the plants should be thinned to 2 inches in the row.

YOUNC’S LAWN CRASS SEEDS.

:
:

Young’s Lawn Grass Seeds for Sunny Situations.

HAS NO EQUAL FOR MAKINC A NEW LAWN OR RENEWINC AN OLD ONE.

IN MAKING A NEW LAWYN,, first spade the ground well. If it is unusually poor, spread over it a layer of rich top soil to the depthof three or
four inches. As soon as the ground is thoroughly pulverized and smooth, sow our “Lawn Grass Mixture’’ thickly , then rake, and pat the
surface smooth with the back of a spade or, if the lawn is large, use aroller. Get the seedin as early in the spring as possible. When the shoots of
young grass have grown to the height of three or four inches, it should be mown witha sharp scythe; after this it should be mown every week with
a lawn mower.

RENEWING OLD LAWNS. Have the lawn raked early in spring. Remove all dead grass and leaves, then sprinkle it with our Lawn Grass Seed
sowing thickly the bare spots and thin spaces, so that the seed and grass will grow at the same time, forming a perfect sod. Our improved Lawn
Grass Seed is the best mixture for sowing or renewing lawns. It has been carefully prepared, and thorough testing has shown it to be the best seed
for sowing in this climate, producing a smooth and durable turf, that will remain green throughout the summer.

As a guide for the proper quantity to order, we may state: For making new lawns, 5 bushels per acre, or for renobating old latons, I to 2 bushels per acre
for a lot 15x20, or 300 square feet, I quart is required for new, or I pint for renovation.

the charges: Quart, 25c, peck, $1.00; bushel of 20 lIbs., $4.00.

YOUNC’S SHADY NOOK LAWN
GRASS SEED.

There are very often some bare spots on lawns caused by
the shade from trees and other objects which can not be kept
green without a great deal of care. We have succeeded in
making a mixture of evergreen grasses that thrive in a shady
situation. With this mixture it will require no more attention
to keep these shady spots green than any other part of the
lawn.

Per quart, 25c; peck, $1.00; bushel of 20
lIbs., $4.00.

YOUNG’S GOLF LINK GRASS
SEED.

This is a special mixture of tough growing varieties of
grasses that will withstand the extreme drought of summer.

Young’s Roses Grow and are Sure to Bloom Everywhere.

7. )HEY ARE ONE OF OUR SPECIALTIES. .,
HINTS ABOUT ROSES.

Our SPECIALTY We have for years made Roses our leading specialty. and sell annually over halfa million plants. We pay particular
; 3 * attention to their culture, so that our Roses are famed for their thrifty condition; besides we offer nothing but varieties
of established merit and new sorts, which have been thoroughly tested by us, hence we offer unequaled advantages to buyers of Roses.

OurR CLAIM We claim that we send out larger and finer Roses than any other firm in the business. Our smallest size is larger than the
ae plants usually sent out by the mailing trade throughout the country, and our cold system of growing Roses makes them in-
nitely better.

WHAT VARIETIES TO PLANT. The Ever-blooming or Monthly Roses are the only constant bloomers we have. They begin to

- bloom early in May and continue all through the summer and autumn months until stopped by
freezing weather.

& ARDY ROSES This section includes the Hybrid Perpetuals and Mosses, and while they are not constant bloomers, they make a gorgeous
——_—$__§__ + News display in May and June. Most of the Hybrid Perpetual class give a second crop and bloom in September and October.

PREPARATION OF ROSE BED Select a sunny spot, prepare your bed by digging to a depth of eighteen inches. Any good gar-

den mould will grow roses. After the plants have been set out, which should be early in the
season, keep the soil loose by frequent shallow stirrings, till the middle of June, when they should be mulched by covering the surface of
the bed to the depth of an inch or!so with old manure to prevent evaporation.

FERTILIZERS Fine, well decomposed cow manure is the best for general purposes, and the results obtained from its use will be found to
ew be in most respects satisfactory. Ground bone ranks next to cow manure as a fertilizer.

The Ever-blooming Roses require protection during the winter. A good way of protecting them is to bend
WINTER PROTECTION * the bush down and cover to the depth of three or four inches with loose earth; over this put a light covering
of boards or boughs. Any mode of protection is good that will prevent sudden freezing and thawing and does not hold moisture about the
stem, causing decay. A straw covering is apt to harbor mice. DO NOT COVER TOO SOON; wait until the plants are well matured and
severe weather is beginning; light freezing will do no harm. UNCOVER when the frost is leaving the ground.

INSECTS The most important is the Rose-Slug, a soft slug-like animal, about a quarter of an inch long, most troublesome in June, They feed
wee wy SS * upon the upper surface of the leaf. REMEDY—Dust with YOUNG’S INSECT POWDER when the foliage is wet; also good to de
stroy Aphis or Green Fly. YOUNG’S INSECT POWDER— 4 Ib., 25c., postpaid.

M ILDEW.. This disease is caused by sudden changes from heat to cold. REMEDY—Dust with sulphur as soon as it appears.

summer. >

GRUS AN TEPLITZ— This is the finest dark red rose. Color
when first opened is a very dark crimson, changing to bright vel-
vety scarlet and then to fiery red. It is one of the brightest col-
ored roses we know of. The flowers are large, full and sweet, very showy and handsome. ~
It blooms abundantly and continues allseason. Price, 1st size, 50c; 2nd size, 25c; 3rd size, |
15c each. -

IVORY—This is a sport from Golden Gate, which has attained such popularity the last
few years. The color is pute white and very fragrant, fine buds and elegant form. One of
the best varieties for either summer or winter flowering. Price, Ist size, 50c, 2nd size, 25c:
3rd size, 15¢e each.

DUCHESS DE BRABRANT—This rose never fails to produce flowers; beautiful
in the bud or open flower, and a beautiful shade of soft, rosy flesh, deepening to warm pink

shaped and borne in clusters. Color, white, flushed with pink. Price, 1st size, 50c; 2nd size, 25c; 3rd size, 15¢e each. : :

°

LIBERTY—We have grown this rose outdoors last summer and found it to be the very best dark red flowering rose that we have ever seen, ex-
celling any other variety in growth and profusion of flowers. It is a perfect, constant bloomer; the color is magnificent—rich fiery ruby red, with deep
crimson tones in the depths of the flowers. The petals are covered with a rich velvety bloom like those of the old General Jacqueminot Rose:
The fragrance is delightful, all-pervading and refreshing (see cut). Price, lst size, 50c: 2nd size, 25c; 3rd size 15c each.

SUNRISE—The color is quite novel and attractive; in a bud the color is an Austrian éopper scarlet and yellow, as it opens the colors deepen, the
scarlet turning darker red, the yellow to orange and copper, the inside of the petals golden yellow. The fuil blown rose is large, perfectly double and
of a grand form; the foliage is glossy and thick, the new growth being the darkest and most beautiful among roses. The form and color of buds,
freedom of growth and bloom will give the Sunrise a high place among roses. Price, lst size 50c; 2nd size 25c, 3rd size 15c each.

QUEEN OF EDGELY-—This is an exact counterpart of the American beauty in every particular, except that of color, which is a bright pink,
and as the rose grows older it fades to a lovely shade of light pink; the flowers are large and deep cup-shaped, and full averaging 5inches in diame-
ter when full blown. They are borne on long stiff stems often measuring six feet. Its keeping qualities are excellent., the flowers holding for a week
or more after being cut. With us it blooms more profusely than the American Beauty. Its fragrance is delicious and closely resembles that of the out
door June rose. Price, 1st size 50c; 2nd size, 25c, 3rd size 15c each. :

_ GOLDEN GATE —It is a strong healthy grower, excellent for both bedding and house culture. Produces a profusion of long, pointed buds, open-
ing to very large double roses of creamy white, beautifully tinted with soft yellow at the base of the broad petals, which are exquisitely bordered with
clear rose. Price, Ist size 50c; 2nd size 25c; 3rd size 15¢c each. }

SOUVENIR DE PRESIDENT CARNOT—The growth is vigorous, the flower is very large, both in the bud and expanded; opens beautifully.

50c; 2nd size 25c; 3rd size 15c each. : :

HELEN GOULD —Iit is a strong, compact grower, absolutely free from disease, and grows to perfection in any soil or situation, producing flowers
in amazing profusion on long stems. In form they are full, perfectly double, with long, pointed buds. The color is bright, rosy, carmine red, chang-
ging in hot weather to a lighter but pleasing shade. We consider this one of the best roses in cultivation for outside planting. Price, Ist size 50c; 2nd
size 25c; 3rd size 15c each. : :

_ WINNIE DAVIS—This remarkable new pink rose is one of the strongest growing roses of its color in cultivation, the color is apricot pink shad-
ing to flesh tint at the base of the petals, the buds are oblong and well formed. Its habits are vigorous and robust, very free blooming, each eye pro-
ducing flowers. Price,1st size 50c; 2nd size 25c; 3rd size 15c each.

MARIE GUILLOT—We recommend it as one of the most reliable white tea roses in cultivation. Especially grown for outdoor culture. Itis 4
first-class in everyrespect. The color is pure snow white, sometimes faintly tinged pale yellow. The flowers are magnificently made, extra large, :
fulland double. The buds are very pretty, fragrant and sweet. Price, lst size 50c; 2nd size 25c; 3rd size 15c each. ’

MADAME HOSTE—A creamy white rose with distinct amber shadings in the centre; under certain conditions the color is light yellow. A very
handsome rose and a prodigious bloomer. A handsome variety and equally valuable for summer or winter blooming, delightfully fragrant; 1st size

with flowers. An arbor or portico over which this clematis is trained is
a wall of white for the time being, and what makes it the more striking
is that nearly all the other vines have ceased blooming at that time. The
panicles of bloom are very pretty for cutting. The star-like florets with
their feathery stamens appear to fine BOTS 2-year-old plants, 50c

66 YOUNG’S NOVELTIES AND PLANTS OF SPECIAL MERIT.

New Colden Pandanus.

(Pandanus Sanderi)

This sterling novelty was first sent out last fall, and it is with-
out a doubt the most important addition in many years to the
comparatively small list of really first.class decorative plants, and
one that must become valuable, not only in all decorations, but as
a plant for the conservatory, the window garden—in fact, for any
position where a decorative plant is required, it giving a richness,

life and glow of color which cannot be secured with any other.

subject. In general habit of growth it closely resembles P. Veitchi,
excepting that its leaves are longer and more recurved, which
gives the plant a more graceful appearance; but the main dis-
tinctive feature is its coloring, which instead of being white, is a
rich golden-yellow, while the heart of the plant presents a
bronzy-orange coloring. Beautiful specimens, 20 to 24 inches
high in 6 inch pots, $3.00.

New Boston Sword Fern,
Or Ostrich Plume Fern.

(Nephrolepis Piersoni]

This new fern was introduced last spring as the most import-
ant addition to this line of plants in many years. The plant pos-
sesses the same vigorous growth that is characteristic of the Bos-
ton Fern, with long graceful fronds, but with each Pinnae or leaf-
let subdivided so as to form a perfect minature frond.

This is well shown in our illustration, though it conveys but
a slight idea of their grace and plume like beauty. The fronds
grow broad and heavy, and measure, when fully developed, at
least 6 inches across, increasing in beauty as they develop. A
large stock enables us to offer this new plant at greatly reduced
prices. Strong plantsin 4 inch pots, 50c each. Strong plants in
6 inch pots. $1.00 each.

Water Plants and Aquatics.

The cultivation of Aquatics is of the simplest. Their requirements are sunshine, water and
plenty of rich soil. They are divided into two classes, hardy and tender. The former may be
planted in ponds or sluggish streams, from early in the spring until August, and, under the
same conditions as our native Water Lily, will grow luxuriously and flower profusely the entire
season. Provide the same conditions in artificial ponds or tanks, and the results will be equally
satisfactory. Plant the tender varieties at the approach of warm weather and when the water
is warm. The plants can be grown in pots, where protection can be afforded them until safe
to transfer to summer quarters. The after-treatment is the same as for the hardy varieties.
When grown in tubs only the moderate growers should be selected. In storing in tubs through
the winter they should be kept where it is not warm enough to excite growth or so cold as
to freeze.

be grown in this climate, all large, splendid specimens, free from blemish.

About replacing trees and shrubs—Some persons so neglect or badly
plant their trees as to cause their loss, still they believe the nurseryman
should be responsible and replace them. We desire to say that if our sug-
gestions for planting, pruning and cultivating are followed, little or no loss
will result. But we cannot be held responsible for unfavorable seasons or
other causes beyond man’s control, and the purchaser must take the same
risk that we do in that respect. We guarantee trees to be healthy, fully up to:
grade, true to name and show signs of life after planting, but do not insure
their living after having passed out of our hands and care. Inno case will
we be responsible for the growing of trees beyond the first leafing out
