GUARANTEE—We guarantee all Trees, Shrubs, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds that we send ont to be true to name
and to reach purchaser in good condition when forwarded by MAIL or EXPRESS (freight shipments at pur-
chaser's risk), and hold ourselves in readiness to replace all stock that may accidentally prove untrue to label, free
of charge, or refund the amount paid therefor, butitis mutually understood and agreed between the purchaser
and ourselves that our guarantee of genuineness shall not in any case make us liable for a greater sum than that
originally received for such stock that may prove untrue. Most failures with plants, bulbs and seeds are due to soil
conditions, unfayorable weather and other causes entirely beyond our control, rendering it impossible to guarantee
success, and although we will take all possible care to send only such stock as will, under proper conditions, give
satisfactory results, we do not, and should not be expected to guarantee stock to grow, or guarantee results in any
way, and we can not entertain complaints that are not made promptly after receipt of goods.

METHODS OF PACKING AND FORWARDING ORDERS.

Tn this catalogue all stock listed (unless noted) CAN BE SENT by mail. There are some items, however, that
SHOULD be sent by express, and other items that, on account of size, MUST besent by express. The packing
and shipping therefore is divided into these three methods. ‘ P

We always use our best judgment in packing and forwarding ofall orders, potbing them up consistent with
safe delivery and future results; and while there are instances where local planting or other conditions make it ad-
visable to have orders sent by express so as to permit of the ball of earth remaining about the roots, still, in a great
many instances and to far away points, where transportation charges are high, the soil can be removed from plants
of the larger sizes, and too large for mailing packages, and the roots packed in damp moss, and delivery of the

lants made at a great saving in transportation charges. We will, therefore, unless otherwise instructed, use our
Pest judgment in executing such orders, believing that at times, and where our customers are notaware of the
best methods to use, their orderscan be executed more satisfactorily. Itshould, theretore, be understood thatif
particular packing and forwarding instructions are to be followed, they should be plainly stated under the above
heading ‘‘Remarks.”

SEPARATE SHIPMENTS AT ONE COST

Our Plant, Seed and Nursery Departments being all sep-

tion charges are made (that is, any charges over and above
that which you would have to pay on one shipment of all items
ordered), we always stand this extra expense.

SPECIAL EXPRESS RATE FOR PLANTS

By special arrangements with all express companies, all
plants are carried at a reduction, and on account of a graduated
scale of rates runs from twenty per cent. to thirty-three and
one-third per cent. less than the regular merchandise rate. As
this is the largest shipping point for plants in the United States,
and offices are sending out plants-every day in the year, and

your order sufficient to cover the entire bill, as it will facilitate
the execution of your order. During the busy season to make
out bills tor-customers, charge, and in a few days receive the
money, make the proper credit and send receipt requires more
work than we can readily perform, and if remittance in any

ence with it. We must not be expected to send goods C. O. D.

antee acceptance.

HOWTO REM eS

most convenient way of transmit-

and there is no danger of their being stolen, for no one can
obtain money on them except the person to whom they are
addressed. They can be obtained at most postoffices, but not
all. The fee is but five cents for $5.00 and under.

LOOSE MONEY Enclosed in a letter is at the risk

of the sender.

POSTAGE STAMPS tional parts of One dollar, or
where postofiice order cannot be had, provided a two-cent
stamp extra is sent with every remittance. None but stamps

LOST ORDERS Letters are sometimes lost in the
mails. If you do not hear from us
within a reasenable time, please send us a duplicate of your
order, stating when and in what form payment was sent,
and sign the same name and address as in the first order,
so that it may have immediate attention.
We invite correspondence

CORRESPONDENCE on any business topic, and

are always glad to give you any information or suggestions
on any subject within our knowledge. When writing about
plants on an order, write on the order sheet, under the head-
ing ““Remarks,’? and when making an inquiry concerning
plants not ordered, use a separate sheet, as our order and
correspondence departments are conducted separately.
When writing about an order be sure and furnish complete
information so that it will not be necessary for us to look up
records, as this always causes delays.

We exercise the
utmost care in
filling orders, striving to doa little more than we offer, yet
in the press of business errors sometimes occur, and when
orders are received that are in some way damaged or not sat-
isfactory, we wish to be promptly notified of the fact, and will
make such an adjustment of your claim as will be satisfactory.
When you write us simply give the nature of your complaint,
giving a list of the plants damaged and price paid for them,
and state whether you wish these items replaced or the amount
tefunded. It is nearly impossible to find time in the busy
season to adjust your complaints promptly unless you give us
all the information required to do so in your first letter.

Beautiful Pink Hybrid
Perpetual Garden Rose,

Crd tt)

(See Illustration in Colors on Front of Cover)

We have in this variety probably the most beautiful hardy
Rose grown. It was raised by Wm. Paul & Sons, the celebrated
English Rose growers, and awarded two first-class certificates
by the Royal Horticultural Society. It is of the most vigorous
growth, producing large, stiff, erect stems with heavy dark green ZZ

large-petaled foliage. Flowers very large, of fine globular form aes
and freely produced; the color flesh, shaded in center to rosy-pink. The style of growth is similar to Bar. Rothschild, which
variety it rivals as an exhibition Rose. Its perfect hardiness, vigorous growth and freedom of bloom make it most valuable
for planting in the Rose garden, while the large size, exquisite color and delicious fragrance of its flowers—which at perfection
are as large as Peonies—make it especially desirable as a cut-flower Rose. It is conceded to be without equal, and consid-
- ered to be the finest Pink Hybrid Perpetual Rose ever produced.

THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL :

- 6

The National Rose "The American Beaut y
of America :

HARDY ROSE of the largest size, having the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose with the delicious odor of the

Damask or Moss Rose, and equally valuable for winter or summer flowering. The flowers are so eagerly sought ‘that they

sell in the larger cities during the holiday season at the extravagant price of from $1.50 to $2.00 for a single bud or

flower. In color it is a deep, brilliant rosy-carmine, shaded towards the center with rich carmine-crimson. The back of

the outer petals take the coloring of lighter dullcarmine. The American Beauty is one of the most vigorous Roses we have. It

makes the heaviest stems and the largest bush, it not being unusual to see a rampant bush with a dozen canes as thick as your finger

and several feet in height. The American Beauty is unquestionably the most popular Rose now before the public, a popularity due

principally to its splendid Value as a winter forcing variety. It should be protected outdoors in the winter. Sold under positive

guarantee as to being true to name. (See illustration and prices below.)
ROSES SOT ROSES ON THEIR
: Za Z OWN ROOTS

It is generally conceded by
all rose growers that own-
root plants are far preferable
to budded roses, and much
more satisfactory to the ama-
teur. They never sucker or
produce wild Roses—impos-
sible to produce anything
but the genuine variety,
they make shapely, sightly
and symmetrical bushes for
lawn and garden, and are
easily cared for. The most
prominent Rose growers of
today are growing Roses on
their own roots, fully rec-
Ognizing their . superiority
for the garden and the lawn.
With the average amateur
Rose grower it is, in nine
Cases out of ten, a question
of only a short time before
“suckers’”” from the wild
Rose root of the budded
plant will entirely run out
the variety budded in; the
planter then has nothing but
a wild Manetti Rose. Thou-
sands .of them have so
turned out. Very often it
happens that the shoot of
the variety budded onto the
wild root will be broken off
in packing or after planting
or for some tfeason dies
down; the plant is then en-
tirely worthless. With an
“own-root’” Rose you may
break it or cut it back clear
downto the roots without
harm, -d4s in sprouting from
the roots the genuine va-
riety. only will be produced.
In cold*sections tender sorts
often: -winter-kill from the
top down to the roots; a
budded-plant in such a case
is thereafter worthless, but
not so with an own-root one.
Many of the budded plants
are so ungainly, crooked and
scraggly that shapely plants
‘cannot be made out of them,
and in consequence they are
totally- unfit for the lawn
and garden. Nearly all
budded Roses are grown on
the wild Manetti Rose stock.
It is natural for this stock to
go dormant or partially ‘so
during the winter, and there-
fore when an ever-blooming
variety is budded on this
stock it is bound to impair
the blooming quality of the
plant for quite a portion of
the year. A Rose grown on
its Own roots—very natur-
ally the roots and top will
work in unison. This is an
important point. It follows,
therefore, that only profes-
sional gardeners, who thor-
oughly understand the sci-

The name is an inspiration
to all garden lovers. They are
justly classed among the
showiest and best plants for

‘decorating the home grounds
No garden complete without
them, no arrangements satis-
factory that neglect them; in
fact, they are indispensable.

We endeavor in this cata-
logue to present the merits of
each variety fairly and faith-
fully, being cautious not to
Overpraise—preferring to say
teo little rather than too
much. Recognizing the im-
portance of robust, healthy
habit, hardiness and freedom
of bloom, combined with
beauty of flower, we propa-
gate largely varieties possess-
ing these characteristics, and
recommend stich kinds for
general planting; and we also
give due attention to those
varieties which are less vig-
orous and robust, and which
therefore require morecareto
bring them to perfection. In
the hands of the Rose lover
all kinds amply repay any
care bestowed upon them.
Our immense stock and great
variety of Roses enable us to
offer assortments adapted to
various purposes, and when-
ever we can be of any assist-
ance in making selections our
services will be cheerfully
given.

In growing Roses success
depends first on starting
right, and then on most
careful attention to the
plants. In the first place
purchase first-class plants
on their own roots, as they
are the most economical
and most satisfactory in
the long run; also try and
select varieties suited to
your locality, as the best
Roses for Maine are not
necessarily the best for Cal-
ifornia. Have your Roses
on hand after all danger of
frost has past, and prepare
the planting ground, which
should be in a sunny loca-
tion and apart from trees,
overhanging buildings,shady
locations, etc., by digging
and working it as thoroughly
as possible, same as for other
plants. If possible, choose a
cloudy day for planting, and
do not allow roots to become
dry. Make a hole large
enough to admit the plant
with the roots spread out in
their natural position; then
cover carefully, and press the
soil firmly down and bring
the roots in contact with
the soil; then pour in water
enough to wet the roots ence of budding and the
thoroughly, add more earth malinenee : growing of budded Roses,
to fill the hole, and tread should ever undertake the
firmly down with the foot. Rose, AMERICAN BEAUTY planting of budded Roses.

The Most Desirable ROSES OF LATE INTRODUCTION

Best bloomers for the yard and garden are ineluded in these newer Roses of all kinds. Those offered are of unusual value, most
of them having been selected while growing and blooming in Europe the past season. Just as Rose growers in America have come
to recognize the essentials that must be present in a novelty, so in Europe these same characteristics are being bred into the seed-
lings, and it is with confidence that we recommend the following magnificent varieties. The number of new varieties of Roses
introduced from all parts of the world will average about one hundred per year. After a thorough test, usually from five to ten sorts
each year will come up to the mark as being worthy of cultivation. The Roses listed here are well worthy of a trial; indeed, some
of them, like Helen Good, Etoile de France, Killarney, Baby Rambler, Climbing Madame Caroline Testout, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer,
Cherry Ripe, J. B. Clarke have come to stay, having such decjded merits as to guarantee them a permanent place among the best Roses,

This is a wonderful Rose, is

Planted in the nursery rows with
all the good Roses, you
can pick it out across a

of its immense size and
brilliant color. Prob-
ably no Rose stands higher
in public estimation to-
day than La France, and
when we say this elegant
new Rose is a close counter-
part of La France we have
said enough to insure its
being planted by vast num-
bers of people. We don’t
know that it is any better
than La France, but it is
decidedly deeper and more
brilliant in color and a
larger flower and is as good
in other ways. It isa won-
derful Rose. The petals
are large and of elegant La
France form, exquisitely
edged and bordered with
clear silver-rose. Both
flowers and buds are extra
large and of very elegant
form. The color is bril-
liant satiny-rose. It is of
excellent substance, keeps
its color well; and its - =—

every one with a sense of its superior-
ity and great beauty. Price, 15 cents

PROTECT YOUR ROSES

Although we try to carefully explain in the introduction to each family or class whether the Roses in that class
are hardy or not, the safest way is to protect all of your Roses, for it will do no harm to the hardiest, and where
manure is used as a covering it also serves the purpose as a fertilizer.
© After the leaves. have fallen give the beds a covering of manure, straw, cedar boughs, corn fodder, leaves or
street sweepings, enough to keep the roots from freezing but still not to smother the plants. In very cold localities
it sometimes pays to wrap the entire bushes in straw or bend them down to the ground and fasten them to stakes
driven for the purpose; or cover with boards, as the principal object is to keep the plants dry and from the freezing
and thawing at times of storms and sleet and rain. But the matter of protection is not such a serious problem
these days when good new Rose plants can be obtained at a very low price. Many people feel that the blossoms
produced the first season are worth many times the cost of the plants, and so buy new ones each year.

Ton ybrid Roses

T*5 ROSES in this class are highly valued because of their fine colors and tea fragrance. They will bloom
freely from June until November, even the one-year size plants (two-year-old plants will, of course, bloom

more).

If planted in the spring so that they may become thoroughiy established during the summer, and

then protected during the winter, they will, with few exceptions, prove hardy.

THE LARGE SIZE plants referred to above are the two-year plants.

THE MOST UNIQUE ROSE OF A CENTURY
BABY RAMBLER——

(Madame Norbert Levavasseur)

Dwarf, Hardy, Perpetual-Flowering
Crimson Rambler

The descriptive name of this extremely valuable new Rose, ‘‘Dwarf
Crimson Rambler,’’ seems a misnomer, yet nothing is more appropriate, for
the fame of ‘‘Crimson Rambler’? properly belongs to it. It forms compact
bushes about two feet high when fully grown, and is fully covered with clus-
ters of its rich, crimson-red flowers throughout the season. It begins to bloom
when in small pots and is practically never out of bloom for the balance of the
season. Perfectly hardy, it requires no winter care, and should improve
each year with good culture. The coloring is brighter and more persistent
than in its parent, the ‘‘Crimson Rambler,” of which it is a seedling. The size
of the clusters and the number of flowers in each are the marvel of all be-.
holders. Its use is varied so as to render it invaluable. As a bedding variety,
to make a low, attractive hedge, to border a walk, for planting in cemeterics,
or for growing in pots in the house, it stands alone and must find its way
everywhere. Remember it is hardy and perpetual flowering. Price, 15
cents each, two for 25 cents; twelve for $1.00, postpaid; two-year BABY RAMBLER
plants, 35 cents each, three for 90 cents, twelve for $2.50. ;

Hardy Memorial » Evergreen Roses

Especially Recommended for Cemetery Planting

OMETIMES called the Wichuraiana Roses, but ap-

propriately classed as ‘‘Memorials,’’ because every-

where acknowledged to be the most suitable and satis-
factory Roses one can get for cemetery planting. They will
climb when trained, or if left alone they creep along the
ground as closely as an Ivy and make a dense mat of shiny,
dark green foliage. The leaves are of leathery texture,
practically insect proof, and remain green on the plants
nearly all winter. They bloom in profusion during June
and July, and the single ones bear red berries in the au-
tumn. A growth of ten feet in a season is not unusual, and
all are entirely hardy, and when once planted take care of
themselves. They are excellent for training over graves
or over rough ground, rocks orstumps. Some prefer them
to the Hardy Climbing Roses for covering arbors, fences,
archways, etc., because their foliage is so attractive and
stays green till midwinter. (See prices below).

The Beautiful Memorial Rose, ROSA WICHURAIANA

are large, pure white, single, with yellow center, and have °
a strong, Wild Rose fragrance. It is one of the very best

Rose, PHILADELPHIA RAMBLER

The New Crimson Rambler,

PHILADELPHIA |

The Most Magnificent Hardy Crimson
Climbing Rose in Existence —

GC perectly flowers, two and one-half inches across and

perfectly double. Borne in grand clusters, completely
covering the whole bush. Color pure, deep, rich crimson,
far brighter and more intense than the old ‘‘Crimson Rambler,”’
which -has heretofore been the standard for brilliant color.

. The PHILADELPHIA does not fade, bleach or wash out, but

holds its bright, dazzling color to the last, which adds greatly
to its value. ~ Has handsome foliage; does not mildew, and is
a most abundant bloomer. Undoubtedly the brightest and
best. of all Hardy Crimson Climbing Roses yet introduced; un-

equalled for covering porches, trellises, screens, fences, etc. Isa
“strong, quick grower, perfectly hardy, needs no winter protec-

tion and bears “‘Bushels of Roses’’ every season without atten-
tion. Makes a great sensation wherever seen. People de-
clare they never saw such immense quantities of Roses BORNE
ON ONE BUSH, or any flowers of such dazzling crimson color.

No mistake about it. The ‘‘Philadelphia’’ is the finest

Hardy Crimson Climbing Rose yet produced.

‘In Enctanp last year Philadelphia Rambler was awarded a
“CERTIFICATE OF MberRIT’’ at the great LoNnon TEMPLE
FLOWER SHow, which is the finest of all the English Horti-
cultural Exhibitions.

“The Garden,’”’ one of the leading horticultural journals of
England, under date of August 26th, 1905, says of ‘‘Philadelphia
Rambler”: ;

‘This is a splendid addition to the Rambler Roses, and is Far
SUPERIOR TO CRIMSON RAMBLER, which is saying a great deal.
The flowers are deeper in color, larger and fuller, and do not
present such an untidy appearance when fading, a great
drawback with Crimson Rambler. The Philadelphia Rambler
seems in every way adapted to covering pergolas, the sides of
Tustic. bridges or stumps in the open. Seen at a distance its
color is most effective.” (Signed) GEORGE BuRROWS.

Price, strong, one-year plants, 15 cents each; two for
25 cents; six for 70 cents, postpaid; strong, two-year

Nicely striped, the markings being plain and distinct, the vari-
egations a beautiful bright rose on a satin-pink ground. Price,
15 cts.each; large, two-year-old plants, 35 cts. each.

PINK LA FRANCE

We have always given this the first place—the Queen of Roses.
Accounts come to us from all quarters every year describing the
great profusion of its bloom from June until frost, and extolling its
fragrance and immense size. No variety can surpass it in deli-
cate coloring—silvery-rose shades, with pink. It has a satin sheen
over all its petals. It is most universally regarded as the most
useful of Roses, for it is hardy beyond question. It blooms con-
tinuously. Price, 15c each; large, 2-year-old plants, 35c each.

|

RED LA FRANCE, or DUCHESS OF ALBANY

It is identical with La France, excepting in three points. Those
are: A more vigorous growth, a larger and more expanded flow-
er, and a deep, even pink incolor. Color not shaded, but what
is called a solid color. Price, 15 cents each; large, two-year-
old plants, 35 cents each.

WHITE LA FRANCE (Augustine Guinoiseau)

Here we have a beauty indeed, one we recommend to all,
whether for outdoor culture or for pots in the house in winter.
It is identical with La France, except in color. It is pearly-
white, sometimes tinted with fawn. We predict for it far more
popularity than La France ever attained. Don’t fail to get
this new Rose. Price, 15 cts. each; large size, 35 cts. each.

Red, White and Yellow :

Price, 15 cents each; the three for 35 cents; two-year-old, 30 cents each; three for 75 cents.

MARY WASHINGTON

A remarkable Rose, and one we recommend as being one of
the finest in this class of Roses. The flowers are pure white,
very double, blooming in good-sized clusters. It blooms pro-
fusely when very small, and does not make a large growth the
first year, but the second it may be depended upon to throw
up long canes that. will be covered with bloom the entire season.
Perfectly hardy.

WM. ALLEN RICHARDSON

A beautifully colored and very free blooming Rose of vigorous
growth; color orange-yellow, center coppery-yellow, faintly
tinted rose. The plant is a strong, rampant grower, and alto-
gether a very valuable variety.

REINE MARIE HENRIETTE

An excellent crimson-flowered ever-blooming climber. The
flowers are exquisitely formed, very full and double, nicely tea
scented; strong-growing and very free-flowering.

General
Planting

The Hybrid Perpetuals are considered the
most valuable of all Roses, because they bear
the largest,sweetest and most brilliant colored
flowers, and are so hardy and vigorous they
live over winter without protection, and con-
tinue to bloom regularly from year to year.
Their grand flowers are of all shades of red,
crimson, scarlet, pink and white, but no yel-
lows. They thrive and bloom finely in all sec-
tions of the country and should generally be
planted in open ground, as but few varieties
ate suitable for house culture. Some kinds do
not bloom till the second year, but when fully
established bloom regularly at the usual time,
and occasionally during the summer and fall
months. Though called ‘Perpetual,’’ they
are not constant bloomers, but are the finest
and most beautiful of all Hardy Roses.

Famous the world over as one of ‘the most magnif-
icent Hardy Crimson Roses ever introduced. It is a
strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy, an early and
abundant bloomer, and both buds and flowers are

shining crimson color is the standard of color by
which other Roses are judged. In fact, it is almost
unequaled in beauty of form and brilliant intensity
of color. Itis not a new variety, but so valuable that
itis frequently scarce and difficult to obtain, as almost
éveryone wants a ‘‘General Jack.’’ This year, how-
ever, we believe our stock is ample, and hope to have
enough to meet all demands.

Pyrethrum (Persian Insect Powder) or Tobacco Dust should be used.

For those insects classed under sucking insects, such as Scale, green and
red Spider and Mealy bugs, must be killed by insecticides, which are either
irritants and which produce death by coming in bodily contact with the pest,
or substances that close up the breathing pores and produce suffocation.

treated with Kerosene Emulsion, Tobacco Dust or Pyrethrum (Persian

——KING OF THE BEGONIAS==

= BEGONIA REX

DUCHESS DE BRABANT

broad silver band enclosed with a dark green edging. The edge of the leaf is smooth
and very pointed. Price, 20 cents each.

4) LORD PALMERSTON

: One of the best and easiest to grow of all the Rex Begonias. The leaves are extra
a large with a dark bronze center, silver band and irregular bronze border, blotched
and specked into the silver. The edge of the leaf is fluted and irregular; under Ade
a pea green with red veins; very effective. Price, 20 cents each.

MD. TREVE

One of the most distinct and striking of all Rex Begonias. Very highly colored,
especially when the light shines through the leaf, which makes it a bright red. The
star-shaped center and the narrow border of the leaf is a reddish-green dotted with
silver spots, and the balance silvery-white. A fine Begonia of the large-leaved type.
Price, 20 cents each.

MAGNIFICA

This beautiful variety is quite different from any variety we catalogue. The
leaves grow to an immense size; color a rich dark chocolate-brown tinted with dark
greeny This variety is one of the darkest of all the Rex family. Price, 20 cents
each,

KING OF REX

One of the most effective of its class, though the oldest variety. Of a beautiful
metallic luster, center and edge a soft velvety-green, with a broad silver zone terminat-
ing at the point. The toliage of this Begonia on well-grown specimens is so massive
and the growth so majestic as to awe the beholder. It is of the very easiest culture,

streaked with dark green on the edges. A very pointed leaf with a hairy growth on
the edges. A very striking and distinct variety. Price, 15 cents each.

LESOUDSII

This is the finest and largest of any of the Rex family. It is impossible to de-
scribe in words the beautiful markings of this magnificent Begonia. It is a cross
between Begonia Diadema and a Rex variety, but retains in a marked degree the Rex
character. We consider this the finest of all the Rex family, both in size of leaf and _
Tich coloring. Price, 15 cents each.

New Rex Begonia, CLEMENTINA

A cross between Rex and Diadema. The color of the stem and the upper surface
of the leaf is a beautiful bronze-green, ornamented with large silver spots, arranged
parallel with the ribs of the leaf; the under side of the leaf is a bronzy-red, which pro-
duces a beautiful effect. It is a rapid grower, and of the easiest management and
propagation. Price, 20 cents each.

RUBRUM

The entire leaf has a pinkish metallic luster;
which makes it one of the most attractive varieties.
The leaf is very large, with a smooth edge, and the
plant is a vigorous grower. Price, 15 cents each.

SPECIAL NOTICE—We have 2 great many
more fine varieties of Rex Begonias than we
describe in the limited space of this page, and
we therefore make a special bargain offer of
four fine varieties, all different and distinct
from any of the above, for 50 cents (must

in bunches on ends of growthstems. Price, 15 cents each.

RUBRA
BEGONIA RUBRA

One of the finest Begonias in cultivation. Its dark,-glossy

: green leaves, combined with its free-flowering habit, make

» oration. The flowers are scarlet-rose color.’ Price, 15
» cents each.

section. The leaves are irregular and blotched red on a pallid

are the most satisfactory plants for house decoration, and if differ-

‘ Singl d
Tuberous Rooted Begonias “Forsie

These are among the very handsomest of our summer-blooming
plants, flowering throughout the season. Nothing can exceed the bril-

| waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their effect in masses, or their grace-
| ful appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom
|| appears until all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom,
and such blooms—great waxy flowers from three to five inches across,
| borne in such profusion that the rich glossy-green foliage is almost hid-
| den underneath the wealth of blossoms. On the approach of col d
weather they should be taken up, and the bulbs stored away in a warm
place until the spring, when they may be started in pots before plant-
ing in the garden. We have both double and single in five colors—
red, white, orange, pink and yellow. Price, single, 10 cents each,
three for 25 cents; double, 15 cents each, two for 25 cents.

Fine Perpetual | The Best Varieties
Blooming . . . for the Garden
HE CARNATION is among the first of the winter-flowering plants. Its most beautiful flowers, with their delicate fra- |
grance, make it a very desirable plant for everyone. If grown indoors it should be kept in a cool room, given plenty of
light, and its soil not so light as to allow it to become water-soaked. If planted out of doors, keep soil well stirred, and
cut the plants back as they make flower stems, so as to make them short and bushy. Take up the plants about the first of |
September, and pot them ready for winter flowering. See to it that there is plenty of drainage in the bottom of the pot and let

the first watering be a good one. Keep them well shaded for a few days, and bring them to the light gradually. The plants we
offer on this page are young plants from two-inch pots. Planted out in spring they should begin blooming about July or earlier. |

golden-yellow. In this we have an ideal yellow Canna, the flow-

ment over the Piersoni. Is more dwarf and com-
pact, the fronds breader and only half the length.
The small side pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided
into perfect miniature fronds; the side pinnae
stand at right angles to the midrib of the fronds,
on edge instead of flat, giving both sides of the
main frond the same beautiful appearance. It is
impossible to conceive of the beauty and grace of
this wonderful Fern from description—must be
seen to be appreciated. Price, nice plants, 15
cents and large plants, 50 cents each.

NEW NEPHROLEPIS
SCOTTI

Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the
Boston Fern. The fronds droop gracefully, and
are not as long and coarse as the Boston. Itisa
rapid grower, and to see it in all stages of growth
from a runner 1n the bench to a fourteen-inch pot
specimen will convince you that it will be in great

plants, i5 cents each; strong plants, 35

WHITMANII

WHITMANII

The newest and finest Fern yet introduced. This fine
new Fern received first award at the Society of American
Florists. This is the best Fern on the Boston type yet
introduced. It is somewhat similar to the Piersoni, being
more compact, more sturdy in its growth, and never run-
ning back to the old Boston leaf. This variety makes one of
the best specimen plants for the house and conservatory that
we grow. Price, nice, young plants, 15 cents each;
strong, 4-inch pot plants, 50 cents each; large, fine
specimen plants, 75 cents each.

BOSTON SWORD FERN

(Nephrolepis Exaltata Bostoniensis)

A variation from the ordinary Sword Fern. These fronds
arch and droop over very gracefully, on account of which it
is frequently called the ‘Fountain Fern.’”” This drooping
habit makes it an excellent plant to grow as a single speci-
men on a table or pedestal. Price, small plants, 10 cents
each; large plants, 25 and 40 cents each; large speci-
men plants, 60 cents each.

THE NEW OSTRICH PLUME FERN

(Nephrolepis Piersoni)

A form of the famous Boston Fern. The fronds grow in
the most luxuriant manner, the pinnae subdividing making
miniature fronds, which are superimposed on the main
fronds, looking as if two or even three were condensed into
one. They are graceful beyond description, feathery, plumy,
nothing describes them better than Ostrich Plumes, which
they very much resemble. Strong young plants, 15
cents each; large, handsome plants from 5-inch pots,
50 cents each; extra strong plants, 60 cents each.

SPECIAL OFFER—The above five Ferns on this
page, nice, young plants, for 60 cents; strong,

4inch pot specimen plants, the five for $2.00.

~ HYDRANGEA

(Arborescens Grandiflora Alba)

This beautiful hardy American shrub is the
finest addition to this class of plants found in
-many years. The blooms are very large, of pure
snow-white color, resembling a little the hardy
shrub so well known, the Snowball, in color and
make-up, only they are much larger in size and
much more striking. One of its most valuable
features is its coming into bloom just after the
passing of all the early spring shrubs, while its
long season of bloom, from early June through
August, renders it a valuable plant not only to
the florist, but to the owner of every garden. It
is perfectly hardy, standing twenty degrees below
zero. The form of the panicle is much like the
tender varieties of Hydrangeas. Its foliage is of
a soft, velvety texture, not nearly as coarse as
eee of the Hardy Hydrangea Paniculata Grand-
ora.

in the rank of evergreen shrubs, but when in June this mass
of luxuriant foliage is almost hidden by the magnificent array
of beautiful flowers in clusters, it is simply grand. A protection
of leaves and brush during the first winter will be beneficial. It
will thrive in any good soil without any special preparation, and
in the full blaze of the sun, but it is more luxuriant in good,
well-prepared soil of leaf-mold and muck and peat mixed, and
in partial shade. Must go by express. Price, $1.00 each.

TRITOMA (Red Hot Poker)

A very attractive summer and autumn flowering plant, pro- —

A very satisfactory hardy plant, which should be in every order.

MONTBRETIAS

The Montbretias aré one of the bright-
est and best of summer-flowering bulbs,
and it has been a matter of wonder to us
why they are not more generally used.
We feel sure that if once tried they would
become firm favorites. The bulbs should
be planted from April to June in clumps
or groups of three to a dozen or more.
They are perfectly hardy, and once plant-
ed can be left to care for themselves. In
growth they resemble the Gladioli, and
produce spikes of the most brilliant flow-
ers in the various shades of orange, yellow,
red, etc. Price, 5 cents each; 40 cents
per dozen.

CALADIUM ESCULENTUM
(Elephant’s Ear)

Very effective and suitable for either a
single plant on the lawn, masses in beds, or
on. edge of water. Its very distinct
leaves often attain the length of three
feet, by twenty inches wide, and have a
rich, tropical effect. The growth is very
rapid, and the ground must be made rich.
Watering in dry seasons will help develop
large leaves. Bulbs can be stored in dry
sand in winter and kept from year to year.
Price, nice size bulbs, 15 cents each, 4
for 50 cents, postpaid, or 10 cents each,
5 for 50 cents, by express. Larger size,

DWARF CALLA “GEM”

Having given it a fair trial with the ordinary variety known

The Dahlias are well known and much admired plants growing from tender tubers and adapte i i
summer. The flowers have a wide range of color, mostly scarlet, orange, yellow, crimson ane. Peete eaedes
of other colors. The most suitable soil for the Dahlia is a rough, rich loam, to which has been added plenty of
manure and some sand, and spaded into a good depth. Plenty of water is required to keep them in good shape and
to produce good bloom, and during a very dry summer the watering must not be negiected. When the frost kills
the stocks in the fall, take up the tubers and store in a dry place, covering with a dry earth to prevent them

from starting. ov | oe

planted out before the foliage starts. 4

: Selected Flower Seeds

We have used the greatest care in obtaining our Flower Seed, and those we offer you are absolutely fresh, being grown under
our personal supervision or imported from the best foreign seed growers. Failure in getting satisfactory results from seed planting
may be attributed to the manner in which the seed is sown rather than the lack of germinating power in seed, and seedsmen are
unjustly censured when the fault lies in the cultivator and not in the seed. :

Sowing of Seeds—Spade the soil in the seed bed to a good depth, work it over and over with the spade in order to mash the
small clods. Sow the seed in drills or broadcast, according to the kinds, covering carefully and lightly, there being more danger
in covering too much than not enough. Never allow the seed to remain in dry soil. :

For seeds that require an early start, to secure blooms before frost, sow in shallow wooden boxes, in good garden soil. Cover
seeds very lightly, keeping the box in a sunny window, covering the box with a pane of glass until the seeds begin to sprout, but
never allow the soil to become too are ;

Transplanting of Seedlings—Do not allow the little plants started in the boxes to grow too tall before transplanting. Care
should be taken in watering the seedlings well after planting and to protect from the sun for a few days with light paper.

Flowers from seed are usually known as annuals, biennials and perennials.

Annuals bloom and ripen seed the first year, and then perish.

Biennials do not generally flower the first year, and are in perfection only one year. : :

Perennials continue to flower several years in succession. Many of them bloom the first year if sown early.

BUTTERFLY
RUNNER
BEAN

The well-known Scarlet Run-
ner Bean has always been a
great favorite, because of its
rapid growth and abundant
flowers; but this new Runner
Bean is superior to it in many
ways. The introducer says of
it: “‘My new variety is quite
distinct, and far surpasses all
others in the beauty of its
flowers, which are chiefly dis-
tinguished by their extra-
large size and the prettily
waved snowy-white wings and
salmon-rose standard. The
leaves, of a light green, almost
disappear beneath the clusters
of charming flowers which
rise and fall like butterflies
in the passing breeze.’’ The
finest vine ever offered. Try
it. Price, 15 cents per pkt.

Chrysanthemum, “BRIDAL ROBE”
New Annual Chrysanthemum,

“BRIDAL ROBE”

Of very compact and upright habit, and not exceeding ten
inches in height, the sturdy plants throw out their finely feath-
ered foliage from the base and deck themselves with a mantle
of extra-double pure white flowers. With their short, closely
set petals the latter recall the finest forms of very large-flow-
ering double Daisies, but are about twice the size; they appear
in such number that a large bed in full bloom may well be com-
pared to a drift of snow. Chrysanthemum Bridal Robe, which
comes almost true from seed, is a bedding plant of the very
first rank, while by the long time the flowers last when cut
they render most valuable services for bouquets and floral dec-
orations. Price, 10 cents per packet.

The Chinese Kudzu,
*““JACK-IN-THE-BEANSTALK VINE”

If you wish a vine that will grow everywhere, plant the Chi-
nese Kudzu. It will flourish where nothing else will grow, and
will last for many years.. The large, bold leaves of the brightest
green afford a dense shade. It is of wonderfully strong growth,
which makes it invaluable for rapidly covering arbors, fences,
porches, dead or old trees, rockeries, etc. The Kudzu Vine is
a native of China, where it is grown not only for the beauty of
the plant, but also for the edible value of its roots. The vine
is hardy, and is well filled with dense foliage to the ground;
grows fifty feet if permitted, but may be kept down by cutting
back. Price, 15 cents per packet.
