SPRING 


NEW HARDY PHLOX 


‘““CINNABAR’’ 


8 

r 

9 

$ 

The red Phlox featured on front page of cover is one of the things we wish you to be sure and notice. While 

j there are many and good Red Phloxes, there is no peer to this one. We have tried them all in comparison with this 
seedling, and find ‘Cinnabar’ distinctly different and superior, in coloring, form of flowers and plant, and in season of 

} bloom. Clumps of this new variety, when well established, say the second or third year, produce heads of bloom 
whose compact, evenly rounded contour is unmatched by any other variety, and as large as the largest we have ever 
seen. Cinnabar is one of the very first Hardy Phloxes to bloom, being especially welcome at a time when there are 
all too few outside flowers, and retains its bright beauty until the latest sorts take up the work. The color is difficult 

* to satisfactorily describe, and equally hard for artist’s pigments to faithfully portray. The name Cinnabar has been 

selected from an approved color chart, to designate in a word its color value. While its composition embraces certain 
values of red, orange, blue, etc., the general result is a beautiful red, not glaring and gaudy, not the common brick 

¢ red, not rosy red, but a soft velvety unimpeachable red all its own. 

Young plants from pots, April and later delivery, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 1 year field grown plants 75 cts. 

: each; $8.00 per dozen. 


We have tried to give some idea of the beauty of this new variegated leafed tree on the last page of our cover, 
but no illustration can do it justice. Found growing ina bed of seedling Cornus Florida several years ago, it has stood 
the dry summers and cold winters with all the vigor of its old well known parent and possesses the same habit and 
characteristic growth. The leaves are beautifully blotched, tinted and bordered creamy white in early spring, 
changing to carmine centre and crimson margin in mid-summer and fall, holding its magnificent coloring the entire 
season. The best. variegated leafed tree that will thrive in our climate. 

By mail, $2.00. By express or freight, 2 to 3 feet, $2.00; 3 to 4 feet, $2.50; 4 to 5 feet, $3.00.

“\SPRING 191k 


ROM a four page circular issued over fifty years ago, our annual catalogue has grown 
to this issue of 168 pages, offering one of the most complete horticultural stocks 
grown by one firm in the world. Over 1200 acresin our home farms are devoted to 


the production of Trees, Plants and Seeds. We are able to deliver stock of our own 
growing direct to planters, saving all rehandling and eliminating the charges of middlemen. 
While our variety lists, under most headings, are not so long as offered by some firms, they are 
the result of careful and vigorous testing and selection, only sorts being offered of proven merit 
that have the constitution and adaptability to produce results under ordinary conditions. 
New varieties, the best of American and European productions, will be found listed under 


their respective headings. 


Our aim being to test all new introductions, but to offer only those 
showing decided superiority over the old sorts. 


We call special attention to our offerings of Roses, Cannas and Dahlias, which are 
specialties with us, over 600,000 field grown Hardy Roses and acres of Cannas and Dahlias 


being grown each year.

seed to provide for a fluctuating dealers’ trade. Our facil- 
ities for and methods of testing are unequalled. We aim to 
furnish the best grades. The substantial increase in our 
trade every year, since the introduction of Storrs & Harri- 
son’s seeds, assures us that our efforts-in this line have been 


~ successful. 


Novelties ae new varieties will be found offered 
—————- under their respective headings. We en- 
deavor to test all new American and European introduc- 
tions, offering only those we believe will be of value, and 
discarding old sorts only as they are superseded by better 
kinds. 


Our Complete Stock rakes it possible for cus- 


omers to secure every- 
thing needed for orchard, eeu garden, lawn, flower- 
beds, window-garden or conservatory in one order and at 
one shipment, thereby saving a large per cent. oi the 
express or freight charges that would be incurred by order- 
ing from half a dozen localities. 


We Guarantee 12t all seeds, plants or other goods 
shall reach our customers safely 


and in good condition. Examine carefully on receipt and 
report at once should there be any cause for complaint.

N presenting Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seed for 1911 we wish to call your 
attention to the fact that never in the history of the seed business has there 
been such a general shortage of the various seeds. In many instances crops were 
total failures. We have been compelled to advance the prices on some of the 

various kinds, but have done so only to cover the difference in cost to us. We wish 
to impress upon all our customers, old and new, that notwithstanding these very 
adverse crop conditions and the enormously increased cost of seed stocks, that “the 
High Standard of Quality” of ‘Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seeds’’ remains unchanged. 

Special attention is called to our new varieties in vegetable and flower seeds. 
We have no hesitancy in recommending all of them to our patrons. We wish to 
remind you that we bear the expense of experiments and that we offer only such new 
varieties as we know by ‘‘Test’’ to have genuine merit. 

To aid in selection of varieties we have designated by use of our trade Ge 
the ones we know, by test, to be the very best of their kinds. ae 

We solicit your orders, knowing that we can please you, for our well defined 
policy of “Quality Only’’ and the best of treatment for our patrons is always upper- 
most in the conduction of our business. Thanking all our patrons for past favors 
and wishing the users of Storrs & Harrison’s Superior Seeds for 1911 the greatest 


success, We are THE STORRS & HARRISON CoO.,

ARTICHOKE 


This vegetable is well and favorably known throughout Europe and is also very largely used in the Southern 
states. The flower heads are used green, cooked similar to asparagus, it is a desirable and profitable vegetable 
and deserves wider cultivation. 


CULTURE. Sowseed early and transplant three feet each way. Plants bear second season and continue 
with slight protection in winter, for years. 


Green Globe. This is the very best variety. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., 1% lb. $1.00, lb. $3.50. 


ASPARAGUS 


CULTURE. Seed of asparagus should be sown early in the spring; in drills two inches deep. When 
seedlings are one or two years old transplant (for the family garden) sixteen to eighteen inches apart each 
way and cover crowns to a depth of four inches. For commercial planting, plant in rows four to five feet 
apart, placing crowns eight to ten inches in the row. Well rotted manure and light soil should be used 
as a mulch in the fall, cover to a depth of six inches and fork in well in the spring. This mulching feature is 
very essential to good quality stalks, as the crowns mount to the surface, and unless so covered produce short, 
tough shoots. Nitrate of Soda applied broadcast at the rate of 150 lbs. to the acre, thoroughly worked in, is 
an excellent stimulant and hastens the growth. This should be applied before plants begin to grow in the 
spring, as its action is caustic and damage will result to shoots if applied after growth begins. 


Columbian Mammoth White. sis very vigorous 


growing sort produc- 
ing splendid white shoots of the very finest quality. We &B 
can highly recommend this variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. Iocts., 

14 |b. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 


Conover’s Colossal. A well known standard variety, very large 
strong shoots of excellent quality, not as clear white as Mammoth 
White, but preferred by many. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 14 Ib. 
20 cts., lb. 55 cts. 


Palmetto. The very earliest variety and of the green type, deli- 
cious flavor and very popular and profitable as a market variety. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. Io cts., %4 lb. 20 cts.. 1b. 60 cts. 


ASPARAGUS ROOTS 


We recommend the purchase of roots of asparagus to those who 
want quick returns. The purchase of roots will save a year’s time. 


We can supply the following varieties: 


Conover’s Colossal, Columbian Mammoth White and 
Palmetto. 65 cts. for 50; $1.00 for I00. 


The production of Asparagus Roots is 
a specialty with us. We grow enormous 
quantities and can serve your wants in 
these to perfection. 


Columbian Mammoth 


a 


RS & 


BEANS 


CULTURE. Beans are legumes 
and many think they are a poor 
soil crop. Thisisa mistake. En- 
rich your soil well. A light loam 
is best adapted toa perfect bean crop. 
Plant as soon as all danger of frost is 
past in rows from two feet for hand 
cultivation to three feet for horse cul-’ 
tivation. Cultivate thoroughly and often, 
keeping a mulch of loose soil at all times. 
When crop comes to bloom cultivate shallow, 
as deep cultivation at this time causes many 
blooms to drop, decreasing the crop. This 
extra effort will more than repay you in the quantity and qual- 
ity of your crop. Plant every two weeks for a succession a pint 
for eighty feet of row, one to two bushels per acre. 


GREEN PODDED—Bush Varieties 


Stringless Green Pod. There is no other variety so 
$$ —__$_§__—___—_—__—_ ——. absolutely stringless and of 


uniformly good quality. Very early and prolific, 
pods are light green in color, round and of me- § <I 
dium length. This variety hag a long bearing “a 
season, making it very desirable for the small garden. Seed dar 
brown. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 30 cts., qt. 50 cts., pk. $2.00, bu. $7.00. 


Black Valentine. An extremely early, vigorous growing green

BEETS 


Beets for best results should have a rich loam soil. 

Land that has been well fertilized for a previous crop is a good 
situation. In preparing your seed bed, pulverize until as fine a bed as 
is possible to make is secured. 

Sow as early as ground can be worked in drills from twelve to 
eighteen inches for hand culture to two and one-half feet for horse 
cultivation, cover to a depth of one to two inches, continuing every 
ten days for a succession. Thin to a stand of four to six inches 
apart in the rows. 

Cultivate thoroughly and often. One ounce for sixty feet of 
drill, six to eight pounds for one acre.

SUGAR BEETS and MANGEL WURZELS 


The directions for beet planting answer for sugar beets and

feet apart and thinned to 8 to 12 inchesin the row. Thorough 
and frequent cultivation is essential when beets are young. Dis- 
continue cultivation as soon as the roots mature, which state is 
indicated by drying of the leaves. Further cultivation injures them 
by inducing new growth, which lessens their value, which is measured 
by the amount of sugar they contain. Store in earth covered heaps.

CAB BAGE 


Quality of seed in cabbage has. more to do with results than 
in any other vegetable crop. Slighting of care with any part of 
the handling a variety for seed means greatloss to the seed buyer. 

We are securing cabbage seed from the world’s fore- 
most growers, men who have made the success of the 
resulting crops a study, therefore we claim to have the 
very best in cabbage seed that money can buy. 


CULTURE. The ground must be highly manured, 
deeply dug or plowed, and thoroughly worked to insure 
good heads. A heavy, moist and fresh loam is the most 
suitable. The early varieties should be sown very early 
in the spring in hot bed or later in open ground. Plant 
out 18 inches by two feet apart. The late varieties are 
usually sown by the last of May and the plants set out in July, 
in rows three feet apart, and two feet apartin the rows. One 
ounce will produce 3,000 plants, 14 Ib. of seed in beds enough 
for an acre.

heading of the extra early sorts, 


and most Northern gardeners depend upon it for their first crop. 
Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 34 Ib. 70 cts., lb. $2.25.

CAULIFLOWER 


Our advice relative to cabbage seed is very pronounced in regard to cauliflower. Difficulty is often 
experienced in getting cauliflower of the very best quality to head up. Cheaper grades of seed often fail 
entirely to produce plants that will head. We offer only the finest and surest heading strains of each variety. 


CULTURE. Make the soil as fine as possible 
for every transplanting, and do not allow the young 
plants to become checked at any time for want of 
water. For spring and early summer use, sow in 
January or February in hot bed, and transplant 
to cold frame when sufficiently large, and to the 
garden as soon as ground is warm enough. For 
late autumn crops, sow in the early part of June, 
and transplant in July. In dry weather water 
freely, and as they advance in growth hoe deep and 
draw earth to the stem. When heading tie the out- 
side leaves loosely over the heads to protect from 
the sun. 


Very early, and one of 
Early Snowball. the surest to head. If 


planted March tst, large-sized heads will 
be produced early in June. Its dwarf habit 
of growth renders it one of the best for 
forcing under glass. Valuable for late planting 
also. Pkt. 25 cts., %4 oz. 60 cts., 0z. $2.00. 


Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt. An extra early 
variety. Scarcely a plant fails to produce a good 
head. Pkt. 25 cts., % oz. 60 cts., oz. $2.00. 


Early Favorite. This is very early, exceedingly hardy; will head under conditions in which many sorts 
would fail. They form large heads which, although inclined to be open, are crisp, tender and of fine 
quality. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % Ib. $1.75. 


CARROTS 


Carrots are extremely nutritious and wholesome vegetables and are not appreciated as they should be in 
this country. In some European countries they contribute largely to the food of both man and beast. 
They are splendid horse and cattle feed. If you plant for no other purpose, try some for your horses this year. 


CULTURE. Deeply tilled soil of alight sandy loam is the most suitable for carrots. Land that has been 
manured heavily the year previous is the best. Cover the seed about one-half inch in depth, and press the soil 
firmly over the seed with the feet or a roller. For early use sow as early in the spring as the ground can be 
worked, and for late crop from May Ist to June 1st. Sow in drills 15 inches apart and thin to three or four 
inches apart in row. Two and one-half pounds of seed will sow an acre, 14 ounce to 100 feet of drill. 


Early Snowball 


Chantenay. Uniform and intermediate in size and shape. The flesh is of a deep golden orange 
y color. For table use one of the best. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 1% Ib. 25 cts., lb. 80 cts. &

CELERY 


Celery is one of the most profitable of all crops. In the South fortunes are being made in the production 
of celery. Almost every garden has some spot adapted to its growth. Muck and low lands can often be 
turned to greater profit in celery than any other crop. 


CULTURE. Sow seed in the open ground, as soon as the soil can be worked into a perfect seed bed, 
cover lightly and roll or firm the covering soil as the seed is slow to germinate and you must retain the mois- 
ture. Sowingin rows from ten to twelve inches apart is preferable to 
broadcasting; by this means cultivation may be kept up, allowing no 
check in the growth. Cut tops occasionally to make stocky growth. 


Transplant in July to a previously prepared bed made consider- 
ably richer than seed bed, plant in single or double rows; if single 
rows four feet apart and six to eight inches in the row, if double 
rows, rows may be made ten inches apart, skip six feet and plant 
another double row and so on. This method allows of double returns 
with the same labor in hilling if soil is rich enough to support. 


Cultivate thoroughly and often until hilling begins; by the above 
method of planting, the use of modern celery hillers is allowed and 
no handwork is necessary, as hilling is accomplished as fast as a 
horse can walk. 


Some varieties (called green or winter types), like Winter Reliance, 
are easily blanched and also stored for winter use in trenches, made by 
digging the width of a spade to the depth of plants height. Pull plants 
from field, do not shake off all earth and stand closely in trenches, cover 
tops with litter or straw deep enough to prevent freezing. 


Golden Self-Blanching This is by far the most desirable 
- of all celery for earliness, 


excellence of quality and ease of growth. Rarely if ever 
pithy and of a rich golden yellow color. Among market 
gardeners this is the variety that isin greatest demand. As the name 
implies it is also en- 
tirely self-blanching.

LETTUCE 


The culture of lettuce either under glass or outdoors is always profitable, the demand is steady throughout

are very carefully selected, germination and true- 
ness to type is carefully tested. No better strains 
exist than those we offer. 


CULTURE. Lettuce seed should be covered 
very shallow to secure germination, especially the 
black seeded if sown under glass or in the house. 
For early spring use sow in September and protect 
through the winter in cold frames the same as cab- 
bages, or sow in hot bedsin March and transplant to 
open ground as soon as it can be worked. For late 
supplies sow in the open ground as soon as the 
season wil] permit, in rows one foot apart; thin out 
plants one foot apartin rows. If sown every two 
or three weeks to the middle of August, it may be 
had in perfection the entire season. One ounce will 
sow 125 feet of drill and produce 2,000 plants. The 
varieties marked thus * are black seeded.

ONIONS | 


Onions are among the short crops in some varieties this year. Our selected strains are the best that 
money can buy. We have only pedigree seed and prices are right. 


CULTURE. A strong, deep, rich and loamy soil is most suitable for this crop. Muck beds well drained 
to the depth of two feet give large yields. A black sandy loam is also excellent. The ground should be heavily | 
dressed with well rotted manure, and plowed a moderate depth, taking a narrow furrow in order to more 
thoroughly mix the manure with the soil; if possible the plowing should be done in the fall. As early in the 
spring as the ground isin working order harrow it thoroughly and make as fine and level as possible; sow thinly 
in drills one-fourth inch deep and 14 inches apart. 

Keep the surface of the ground open and free from weeds, but do not ridge up to the growing bulbs. One 
ounce will sow 100 feet of drill, four to five pounds per acre for large onions, 50 to 60 lbs. for sets. Market 
_gardeners and others requiring onion seed in large quantities should write for special prices. 


\\/ellow Globe Danvers. (Extra Selected.) This is a fine strain of Globe Danvers Onion |

ONION SETS 


The chief value of onion sets lie in the 
quickness of their being ready for the table. 
For green onions much time can be gained 
by their use. 


CULTURE. Onion sets should be planted 
out as early as the ground is dry enough 
to work; plant them in rows one foot apart 
with sets three or four inches apart. 
When raised from sets the onions can be 
used in the green state in June, or they 
will be ripened off by July.

the weather will permit, in drills 15 inches apart, covering half aninch deep. When well up thin out to five or

Ww PEAS 


Peas are the shoitest crop in years, some growers are claiming total failures. We were fortunate in hav- 
ing our wants fully taken care of and we know our prices are not as high as many other houses are asking. 


CULTURE. Peas mature earliest in a light, rich soil; for the general crop a moderately heavy soil 
is best. Commence sowing the early varieties as soon as the ground can be worked, continue for a succession 
every two weeks until June. It is a good plan to sow the early, second early and the late varieties at the 
same time for a succession. One quart for 100 feet of drill; two to three bushelsfor an acre. The wrinkled 
varieties are more susceptible to cold, wet weather than the small, round hard sorts, hence should not be 
planted very early except in warm, dry locations. They are sweeter and better flavored. 


In comparing prices, please bear in mind that our prices are postage paid by us, on pints and 
quarts, and if ordered by express, purchasers may deduct fifteen cents per quart from prices 
named. Peck and bushel rates 
are by express or freight, pur- 
chasers paying charges.

TOMATO 


Nothing in the seedsman’s line of vegetable 
seeds occupies the prominence in care, selection, 
_etc., of the tomato. So much depends upon the 
locality in which the seed crop is grown, the 
care with which it is handled, etc., that we 
spare no expense or trouble in having our seeds 
grown in localities where they come to the 
highest state of perfection. 

_ .You cannot buy better seed anywhere 
than the seed we offer of tomatoes. 


Many ‘‘New Sorts”’ are offered every year. As is the 
case in everything we offer forsale, we bear the expense 
of experiments and we list only the very best varieties. 


CULTURE. Sow in hot beds during March, or from six 
to eight weeks before they can be set out of doors; 
when the plants have four leaves transplant into shallow 
boxes, setting them four or five inches apart; give them 
plenty of air and endeavor to secure a vigorous but 
steady and healthy growth. so that at the time of set- 
tingin the open ground they will be strong and stocky. 
Set out of doors as soon as danger from severe frosts is 
over. Seed may be sownin the open ground also at this 
time, and will make strong hardy plants, that will be 
excellent for late fruiting. The fruit is improved in 
quality if the vines are tied to a trellis or to stakes. 

One ounce will produce three thousand plants.

LAWNS AND LAWN GRASS SEED 


At prices quoted by the pound to three pounds we pay postage. Larger quantities at purchaser’s expense, 
by freight or express. 


HOW TOM AKE The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful lawn lies most largely 
AND KEEP A in the thorough preparation before a seed issown. If there is grading to be 
BE done the top soil to the depth of six to eight inches should first be removed to . 

AUTIFUL LAWN one side; finish with the top soil after the grade is complete. 

This should be thoroughly harrowed and raked to reduce to as fine a condition as possible, as well as to 
levelit, as nothing detracts so much from the appearance of a lawnasan uneven surface. Sow he seed as early 
in the spring as convenient, the earlier the better if the soil isin good condition, or it may be sown very wel! in 
August and September. Sow about half the seed in both directions at right angles to each other, which will 
give a more even sowing. After the seed has been sown it should be raked lightly, then rolled with a hand roller. 


. is most admirably adapted to this purpose, and as near perfection as 
Our Velvet Sod Mixture possible to attain. One pound will seed about 300 square feet; 80 


pounds, or four bushels, are required for an acre. Old lawns will be greatly benefited if, as early in the spring 

as the weather will permit, they are carefully raked,so as to remove the dead grass and leaves that may 

be on them, then sprinkle it with our Velvet Sod Mixture, which will renew the thin places and spots that 
have been killed by the winter or other causes, then give it a thorough rolling with a heavy hand roller. 

As a fertilizer we would recommend pure bone meal as being lasting in its effects and free from weed seeds. 
Apply at the rate of 600 to 1000 pounds toacre. No one kind of grass will make a Jawn that will .eep beauti- 
fuily green all through the season, but a mixture of several is essential, as some varieties are more luxuriant in 
the spring, others in the summer, and again others in the autumn, and a proper combination of these various 
sorts is required to create and maintain a perfect carpet like lawn. 

Complete instructions for lawn making and care will be found in every package. 

Velvet Sod Mixture is composed of a variety of fine, dwarf, close-growing grasses, which on properly prepared 
finely pulverized ground will produce very quickly a neat velvety lawn and permanent sod. Weight 
20 pounds to the bushel. Lb. 50 cts., 3 lbs. $1.35, 5 lbs. at 30 cts., 20 lbs. and over at 25 cts. per lb

The saving and selling of flower seed is in itself a science and can in no way be associated with fast and 
loose methods. The usual list of flower seeds with their botanical names is confusing to the average seed 
buyer. Our nomenclature is simplified as far as is possible. 

No other firm in the United States is in a position to handle more intelligently, or with more satisfactory 
service. Our unlimited facilities for trials, our thorough observation and careful selection of flower seed, 
much of which is our own saving from the finest named varieties, all go to make up a service in this branch 
unsurpassed in America. With this service in view we have eliminated all undesirable types and varieties and 
while our list is not as large as some others it contains only such kinds as the average buyer can grow with 
success. 

These will be found in the following pages, properly classified as to hardiness and duration and accurately 
described. Cultural directions for each variety will be found on the seed packets. 


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 season, and are in perfection only the second year. 
Perennials flower several years in succession. Many bloom the first year if sown early. 


Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can be sown in the open ground early in the spring if desired, 
and Biennials and Perennials will not require any protection in winter. The blooming period of all classes 
mav be greatly extended by picking off the flowers as soon as they fade. 


Half Hardy Annuals, Biennials and Perennials can not be sown in open ground until warm weather; 
they can be sown in the house, if desired, early, and afterwards transplanted. The two latter need to ke 
protected in winter, or carried until spring in cold frames or greenhouses.

THE 


ASTERS 


One of the most popular and useful of all our annuals. 
For early flowers the seed may be sown in the house or green- 
house in March or April, and transplanted in the open ground 
in May. However, as the Aster is a fall flower, and the late 
blossoms are the finest, it is best to sow the seed in the bed 
thinly early in May and transplant. Half hardy annuals. 

By sowing the different classes, as Queen of the Market, 
Giant Comet, Victoria or Truffaut’s and Semple’s Branching, 
which commence blooming in the order in which they are named 
above, the flowering period may be considerably extended. 

Asters are very important with us and we are located ina 
country peculiarly adapted to their cultivation. Every care 
has been taken to have our Aster seed of the very highest 
quality in every way. You can buy no better anywhere.

SWEET PEAS 


There is no flower grown that is 
more admired by all than the sweet pea. 
To succeed best they should be sown as 
soon as the ground can be worked in the 
spring. Good soil thoroughly mixed with 
well rotted manure dug toa 
depth of one foot or more will 
give splendid results; when well 
up give brush or strings to sup- 
port them. May also be sown 
late in fall about middle of 
November and will bloom earlier. They | 
commence to bloomearly, and if the flowers 
are picked as soon as they fade will continue all summer. 
If it is cold and wet at sowing time the white seeded 
varieties should be covered with boards, as heavy rains 
are liable to hinder their germinating.

PAINESVILLE, OHIO 
_ GROWERS OF AMERICA 
Lorp PeNZANCES 


Sweet 
BRIARS — 


E have carefully classified and arranged the varieties of Roses offered in this catalogue, making two 
general divisions of Hardy Field Grown sorts and Pot Grown varieties. Special mention is made 
wherever certain sorts are offered in both divisions. Most of the classes offered under Field Grown 
division are perfectly hardy throughout the country and most of Canada, but the Everblooming 
Roses, which embrace the Teas, Hybrid Teas, Noisettes, etc., are not entirely hardy in all sections; 
consequently a little care for their winter protection is often necessary to insure success with out-door plantings. 

In preparing a Rose Bed, select a sunny location guarded from cold north winds, if possible. Dig out the 
beds to a depth of two or three feet and about three feet in width; then refill the trench with a mixture of soil (any 
good, fertile soil will do) and well rotted cow manure, making provision for good drainage if location is not natur- 
ally drained. Time should be allowed for this filling to settle, the final top surface being an inch or two below the 
edges of the bed. Donot raise the surface of Rose beds above the surrounding surface. They suffer less from 
drought when left level with the turf. 

Plant your roses in the center, being very particular to press and tamp the soil firmly around the roots; and 
soaking the bed thoroughly at the finish. The Everbloomers may be set 18 inches apart, the Hybrid Perpetuals 
about 2 feet. After the plants have been set out, keep the soil loose to the depth of an inch or two, by fre- | 
quent stirrings. An occasional soaking with weak manure water is a great help to roses of all sorts. 

Protect for the Winter by covering bed at least 6 inches with leaves or manure; a binding surface of dirt, 
cornstalksor boughs on top. Aconvenient method is to confine this dressing by anenclosure of 12 inch chicken wire. 


HARDY year FIELD GROWN ROSES Corser prantine 
YEAR OUTDOOR PLANTING 
This section embraces the Hybrid Perpetuals, the Hardy Climbers, the Hardy Rambler group, the Japanese 


Memorial Rose and its hybrids, the Rugosas, Mosses, and various miscellaneous types that have proven their 
hardiness and adaptability for permanent out-door decoration in the colder parts of the temperate zone. 


HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES 


These are the‘‘June Roses’ so admirably suited for garden culture, the formation of rose beds, hedges, etc. In 
May and June these lovely roses are brilliant with large, perfumed flowers of richest colors, far exceeding the 
Everblooming classin size and vivid effects. Some varieties bloom late in summerand even into autumn. They 
luxuriate in a deep, rich soil, and are benefited by mulching with leaves or strawy manure in fall. Prune accord- 
ing to habit of growth, cutting back close all weak shoots and shortening the long canes toa convenient length.

PERNET’S NEW 
YELLOW ROSE 


NOVELTY FOR 1911 


We take pleasure in announcing the 
American debut of what is claimed by 


Best Hardy 


Pernet, the famous rose hybridizer of 
- Lyons, France, to be the grandest yellow Perpetual 
hardy rose ever sent out; the triumphant Blooming 


accomplishment of many years of his 


most ambitious effort. We quote in part 
the originator’s own description: Yellow 
‘Rayon D’Or. A vigorous grower of 

branching habit; with fine  bronze- Rose 


green foliage, glossy, and absolutely 
immune from the attacks of mildew. 
Oval shaped buds, tinged coppery- 
orange and streaked with brilliant 
scarlet bars. Flowers large and full, of fine globular form; 
superb cclor of yellow cadmium as the bloom begins 
to open, toning to sunflower yellow when fully ex- 
panded.” The bloom is very free and practically centinu- 
ous throughout the summer: and unlike most yel- 
low roses holds its brilliancy and 

depth ci color from the bud, even to 
the last petal. Among other im- 
porting nurserymen who have seen 
this remarkable rose, we can heartily 
endorse the grower’sclaim that Rayon 
D’Or is the handsomest and deepest 
colored of ail yellow roses in existence.

White Dorothy Perkins. (N°) 


Ramblers and the immensely popular Dorothy 
Perkins are noted and loved for the extravagance 
of their bloom, but white flowered species of the 
hardy Rambler type have heretofore proved disap 
pointing. Consequently a clean, distinct white, to 
run with the sanguine leaders of the group, has 
been a laudable and much pursued ambition. We 
believe such a rose is found. Here comes a seedling 
of Dorothy Perkins having every desirable 
attribute of its parent, and bearing magnificent 
clusters of gleaming white flowers, fully as double 
and fully as protuse as Dorothy the pin. For this 
year, 2144 inch pot plants only at 25 cts. each; 
$2.00 per dozen.

When grown outside, they should be taken up 
before cold weather, spread out to dry, and be packed 
away in boxes ot dry sand and stored through winter in 
some cool place, yet not where frost can reach them. 
Some little time before planting outside in spring they 
should be potted and kept inside until well started. 
They delight in a partially shaded location in soil com-

CANNAS 


The standard sorts of Cannas in our lists are distinct 
varieties, which have, during past years, given most 
satisfaction to our customers, and are still retained 
because there are no better. Among them are some 
notable additions to earlier lists which represent the few 
varieties our discrimination has proven and selected 
from the unending succession of ““new introductions.” 

Under separate headings appear three novelties for 
Torti, and a splendid selection of choice new varieties 
which we offered last year as novelties.

CARNATIONS 


Seemingly there is no end to the popularity and 
demand for these charming flowers; few orders coming 
to our files but call for some varieties or colors of 
Carnations. Their simplicity, beauty of form, vivid 
coloring and spicy scent attract where other and more 
elaborate flowers are unnoticed or rejected. 


Enchantress. One of the grandest carnations of any 
color; an exquisitely delicate shade of shell-pink, 
deepening toward the center. Blooms early and 
continuously. 


Harlowarden. The largest and best of its color, a 
bright dazzling crimson. Flowers often measure 
three inches in diameter, and are well supported on 
long stiff stems. A wonderfully free bloomer, 
always full of buds. 


Rose Pink Enchantress. A lovely rose-pink shade of 
color put on by the old favorite “‘Enchantress.”’ 
Shows same practical, wide-awake habit of growth 
and trustworthy blooming qualities as its parent.

DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 


This class used to be included with the cactus type, but is so 
distinct as to constitute a separate class. The flower is usually 
large, full but open faced, with long flat petals. They habit- 
ually bloom with great freedom and while the individual 
flowers are not so formal as in the “‘show” types, they 
make a gorgeous display in the field. Such varieties as 
Claribel, Jack Rose, Bruton, Perle and Agnew are 
especially showy in massed plantings; while Catherine 
Duer, Henry Patrick, Nymphaea, Remington and 
Mrs. Roosevelt are great favorites for cutting.

GLADIOLI 


This class of summer-flowering bulbs is doubly val- 
uable for the brave field show of bloom, and for its 
generous supply of cutflowers. Gladiolus flowers last 
longer when cut than most any other flowers, and 
develop in water to a greater perfection than if left on 
the plant. Any rich, light garden soil will grow 
Gladioli if properly worked in preparation, and ex- 
posed to the benefit of full sunlight. Bulbs should be 
planted from the middle of April on into May through- 
out the Northern States, a second planting after two 
or three weeks ensuring a more even succession of 
bloom. Set bulbs 2 to 4inches deep and 2 inches apart 
in the drills; single rows 12 inches, and double rows 18 
inches apart. Beds do well planted 4 to 6 inches apart 
each way.

Nymphaea Maxima 


WATER LILIES 


The flowers are most fascinating, interesting and 
beautiful and no other plants can be grown with so 
little trouble or risk of failure. The hardy varieties 
may be planted as soon as vegetation begins in the 
spring. If not convenient to grow them in a pond or 
lily tank (which is preferable), they may be grown in 
tubs, several varieties being well adapted to this mode 
of culture. A warm sheltered position, yet with full 
exposure to sunshine, should be selected. Fill the tubs 
two-thirds full of turfy soil, enriched with decomposed 
hot-bed or farm-yard manure; cover with two inches 
of sand and fill with water. The crowns of the plant 
should be placed just under the surface of the soil. The 
tropical varieties are admirably adapted for outdoors 
in summer, if planted at the approach of warm weather, 
before which time they can be grown indoors in pots, 
set in tubs of water. In planting Nelumbiums, give 
them more root room than Nymphaeas; if grown in 
tubs, two or three inches of water will suffice. 


HARDY AQUATICS 


Nelumbium Speciosum. (Egyptian or Sacred 
Lotus.) This grand Lotus is perfectly hardy and is 
one of the loveliest of Water Lilies. The flowers, 
when just expanding, are of a beautiful rosy pink 
color; when open they are of a creamy white and 
pink and are very fragrant. It is a very interesting 
plant, and has been an immense success everywhere. 
Extra size, $1.50 each. 


Nymphaea Alba Candidissima. This is a large 
flowered variety of the English water lily; large 
white flowers; a continuous bloomer; very desirable. 
50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 


Nymphaea Chromatella. A charming variety. The 
general habit of the plant is similar to Nymphaea 
Candidissima, and it succeeds admirably under the 
same conditions. The leaves are mottled with 
brown when in a young state, and its large, fragrant 
flowers, which are a beautiful clear yellow with 
bright, orange stamens, are produced from early 
spring until destroyed by frost. A great acquisition. 
75 cts.; 12 for $7.50,

AQUATIC PLANTS 


Nymphaea Odorata. The well known white fragrant 
Pond Lily. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen.

all respects to N. Odorata, but the flower is very

and very much superior to N. Odorata. Its flowers 
are large, massive and cup-shaped; the broad petals

is apparantly double; the sepals vivid green, without 
the slightest tinge of red. It is a vigorous free- 
flowering variety, and unquestionably the. best 
white hardy Nymphaea of the Odorata type. 
20 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen. 


Nymphaea Odorata Sulphurea. One of the very 
best new water lilies, with large, yellow fragran. 
flowers, standing a few inches out of the water. It 
is very free blooming and has the fragrance of

mounted with reddish purple or brown spots; a 
great acquisition. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen.

quisite shade of pink, standing well above the water; 
petals somewhat concave; a strong, vigorous grower. 
50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen.

blue; very free and continuous bloomer; delicatcly 
scented; one of the largest and best. 75 cts.; 12 1ur

very pretty floating species, with light green, round- 
ish leaves and pure white flowers, most beautifully 
fringed. 25 cts. each.

clothed with whorls of the most exquisite foliage, as 
finely cut as the leaves of the Cypress Vine, and much 
more delicate. Planted in a water-tight hanging 
basket, so water can be kept standing on the surface, it 
will trail finely. 10 cts, each; $1,00 per dozen,

Perennial Phloxes. They will thrive in any position

HE annual seed-plantings in their bloom, and the bright colors of the hardy perennial flowers, shold an 
undisputed and important place in the beautifying of the home grounds; but with all their beatity and 
utility, there is still something lacking to make a complete whole, unless there is a harmonious ‘comple- 
ment of the hardy flowering shrubs. The man with extensive grounds can plant in masses and create 
magnificent effects on a grand scale, but the average owner of a small home, with its limited grounds, 
must meet the need with discrimination. The list of flowering shrubs is rich in variety, and yield their treasures 
to every requirement. Just a few chosen sorts will yield, not only a summer display of charming flowers and a 
fall succession of ornamental berries; but the yellow, white, gray, purple and greens of bark and foliage brighten 
the entire season. Home-makers should bear in mind that shrub-planting builds for posterity and for the present. 


Prices attached to descriptions are for one year plants, except where special mention is made.

RHODODENDRON. (Rose Bay.) Through its 
blooming season in May and June, no shrub in 
Nature’s garden, the world over, can compare with

different in character and color-tone from the tints 
oi the conifers. Their summer blossoming, in rich- 
ness and splendid individuality, can be compared 
only to that of the Magnolias. 


: Rhododendrons are most effective and most easily 
: cared for when planted in large beds or groups, so that 
, their flowers may be displayed in rich masses. They 


will grow in any good soil, but are finest in a some- 
what sheltered situation, where the soil is deep, well 
drained and mulched with leaves. In hot, dry weather 
soak the ground,—say about once a week. A pro- 
tection of leaves and brush during the winter will — ee 

be beneficial, Rhus Cotinus **Purple Fringe’?

HARDY ORNAMENTAL CLIMBING VINES 


The hardy vines are a great boon to home-makers because the rapidity of their growth will in one season do 
much to overcome that appearance of ‘“‘newness’’ so painfully evident in a newly built settlement; and long before 
trees and shrubs have become well established, will transform the general effect into one of homely comfort and 
affectionate care. They have done more to cover and conceal the unsightly evidences of man’s stupidity, coarse- 
ness or neglect, and to beautify inharmonious natural environments, than any other class of things that grow. 


Akebia Quinata. A periectly hardy, fast growing 
Japan vine, with magnificent foliage, producing 
flowers in large clusters, of chocolate purple color,

The color is a fresh deep green in summer, chang- 
ing to the brightest shades of crimson and yellow 
in autumn. It is hardy, and becomes more popu- 
larevery year. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; $1.25

CHERRIES 


Hearts and Bigarreaus (which are starred) are var- 
ieties of rapid growth with large, glossy leaves, forming 
fine, pyramid-shaped heads, and producing large crops 
of luscious sweet fruit. Dukes and Morellos generally 
produce acid fruit, do not attain so large a size, are 
well adapted for dwarfs or pyramids, are hardier and 
better adapted for shipping to market. 


We know of nothing in the fruit line that have been 
giving or promise to give in the future larger returns 
than cherry orchards. Few markets are ever over 
supplied. 


*Allen.

eating quality is unequaled, rich, fragrant, delicious; 
ripens with the earlies two weeks before Burbank.”’

There is scarcely a yard so small, either in country 
or city, that room for one to a dozen or more grape- 
vines cannot be found. They do admirably trained 
up to the side of any building, or along the garden 
fences, occupying but little room and furnishing an 
abundance of the healthiest of fruit. Make the soil 
mellow, and plant the vines somewhat deeper than 
they stood in the nursery. Plant about 8 feet apart 
by the fence or building. For vineyards, make rows 
8 feet apart, 6 to 10 feet in rows.

King. A splendid variety, originated by a large

Is as hardy and strong a grower as the Concord, and 
more prolific. The color is the same, grape much

pulp is more tender, flavor nearly the same, but 
more sprightly, seeds fewer in number, ripening 
between Worden and Concord. The leaves are 
large, thick and tough and wood very hard and short 
jointed. It was awarded a silver medal at the 
St. Louis Exposition, also a medal at the Pan-Amer- 
ican; also drew highest awards and favorable com- 
ment at stateand distu.ictfairs wherever shown. The 
berry is too large and bunch too compact to make it

Our land is especially suited to the development of strawberry plants, giving us extra fine crowns and roots, our 
plants weighing two or three times as much as many sent out. Our stocks are pure, each kind kept by itself 
and cultivated entirely for the production of plants. They are carefully graded, handled and packed, certain to 


give the best of satisfaction. 

Dip the plants in water as soon as received, and 
bury the roots in moist, shady ground till you are 
ready to set them out; neglect for an hour or so is 

ften fatal.

Ex, 


Plant in good rich soil and give a liberal dressing of 
manure every season. Regular pruning every year is 
essential for the production of fine fruit. The English 
varieties especially do best in partial shade and should 
be heavily mulched. To prevent mildew spray bushes 
soon as leaves appear and several times during the 
summer with potassium sulphide (liver of sulphur) one 
ounce to four gallons of water. 


AMERICAN VARIETIES 
TWO GRAND GOOSEBERRIES 


CARMAN and PORTAGE 


They are both’ good growers, making fine large 
plants, producing in profusion their extra large berries 
of the finest quality. Are similar in habit of growth 
and productiveness, the Carman averaging a little the 
largest, more of a golden yellow color when ripe and 
more oval in shape. 


Carman. Our attention was first called to this by Mr. 


E.S. Carman, former editor of the Rural New Yorker, 
who had it under test in their trial grounds for 
several years and who considered it as likely to 
revolutionize gooseberry culture in this country. 
Of large size and excellent quality; it sets fruit so 
closely as usually to require thinning of the berries 
and propping of the branches. 


Portage. Originated in Ohio, we procuring nearly 
all the original stock after watching it a few seasons 
on originator’s grounds. Have tested it on our own 
grounds for ten years, and it has been grown by 
originator and friends for a longer period, growing 
in their favor, in test with many other sorts every 
season, as the best of all gooseberries. 

From E. H. Riehl, the noted small fruit specialist 
of Illinois: ‘Portage gooseberry is simply marvelous 
Undoubtedly the best gooseberry I have ever tried.” 

Both varieties, 30 cents each; 4 for $1.00.
