Preliminary Notes

a]) EOPLE planting for the first time often have trouble in selecting pla-’
Ei] suitable for the conditions under which they wish to plant. In my c
logue I have endeavored to give descriptions as clearly as possible; bv
even after thirty years of experience I find that a descriptive catalogt
cannot give information that will be clear to all. I solicit the corresponc
ence of all who find it difficult to make their selections, and assure yo
that I will be pleased to be of assistance.

THE WILD FLOWERS have been my specialty, and after years c
selection I have now established only such kinds as are most desirable. People who wist
to beautify ravines, shady corners by the house, or banks by the brook, will find selec-
tion of wild flowers just what is needed. Sometimes people have woods in which they
wish natural planting—the wild flowers are the sorts that can produce the purely natural
effect. Trilliums, Jack-in-the-pulpits, Snake-roots, Blood-roots, Hepaticas, and wood
lilies are the kinds that grow around the old homestead, and if planted on that new estate
will bring back the memories which are so dear.

FOR THE VERY DRY PLACES in the open sun we have a collection of sedums which
will give the best of satisfaction. These plants will grow in hot, dry places where other
plant life has a hard struggle for existence. The low growing kinds, in some cases, cove:
the ground in a short time, and form a mat of green.

HARDY ORCHIDS are among the choicest of our native flora. As a rule these plant.
need moist ground; some of the Cypripediums will, however, do well in common garden
soil, if given shade. Don’t fail to have some of these on your list when you order.

HARDY FERNS are becoming an important factor in our modern planting. These
plants are easily grown; an amateur can have fine success in growing them. They
can be planted in the spring or early fall. Hardy ferns are being used in quantity for mar
planting, and selections can be made that will suit almost any location. Many times thei
are corners by the house where the sun does not strike; such places as a rule will not foste:
ordinary plants. FERNS can be selected that will give perfect satisfaction. Our fern
trade is extensive, and we are in a position to furnish them in quantity. I will be glad to
make special quotations on large amounts.

POSTPAID. We will deliver at any post-office in the United States, the Ferns, Hardy
Perennials, Bog and Aquatic Plants and Orchids given in this Catalogue, at prices named
for single plants and dozen rate, but does not apply to 100 rates, but this offer does not
include Trees, Shrubs and Roses.

Have numbered all plants in catalogue this year and they can be ordered by number.

Parties often desire somewhat heavier stock than can easily go by mail. We can
usually accommodate them, and shall be glad to do so when our stock will warrant it, if
they will pay the express charges. We can often make selections of extra-strong clumps
when such are desired at a reasonable advance in price from Catalogue rates.

I can not fill orders at dozen rates when twelve separate kinds are ordered for a dozen.
Six of one variety will be sold at the dozen rate.

TREES, SHRUBS and ROSES. These are too heavy for the mail, but they will be
delivered at the express or freight office here, the purchaser paying transportation charges
when goods are received. When stock can be packed in small boxes, no charge is made,
but, when larger boxes or bales are used, a charge will be made to cover actual cost.

AZALEAS. I wish to call your attention to my stock of Azaleas; especially the native
white. I can make prices on this variety in large quantities. I also have a large stock of
the Hardy Barberry (the unexcelled hedge shrub). I can make prices on this in large
quantity. Fragrant Sumach, Native Roses for large mass plantings.

Have plants shipped by express when practicable.

EXPRESS RATES. The express company here (Adams) offers to carry nursery
stock at a reduction of 20 per cent discount from the regular rate. Thirty-five pound:
can be sent to Boston or New York for 35 cents, and 1 cent for each additional pound
100 pounds goes for 80 cents. Eleven pounds can be sent to Chicago for 35 cents, and ‘
cents for each additional pound. See that the red tag is on all express packages; this is +
reminder that it is entitled to a discount of 20 per cent from the regular express rates.

REMITTANCES may be made by Registered Letter, by Post-Office Money Order
on Southwick, Mass., or by draft.

CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION. A copy will be sent with each shipment.

SOUTHWICK, MASSACHUSETTS

There is so much inquiry for plants to grow in certain positions, like dark, shady, wet,
or dry places, or open sun, that we have so marked the several kinds in this Catalogue,
designating each kind by a special sign. This will enable our customers to make their
selections without reading pages of descriptions.

All plants desirable for growing in dark, shady places, shut out from the sunlight,
are marked with this sign, #. Very few of the old garden plants will thrive in such a place,
but most of the Hardy Ferns of New England, and several of the best wild flowers are at
home here; the little nook by the porch, shut away from the sunlight, the deep shade of
the great lawn tree, where even grass will not grow, the wooded bank, are all places to
beautify with this class of plants.

® This sign means that the plant is adapted for the low, wet places where sedges
crowd out the grasses, and bulrushes thrive; Lobelias, Marsh Marigolds, Iris, Sarracenias,
Mentha, Lythrum, etc., find here a congenial home.

© All the old garden plants, those to grow in beds or borders, like Campanulas, Aqui-
legias, those best suited for open, sunny places, desiring, for the most part, a moist, yet
well-drained soil in the open sun, are marked ©.

+ Plants marked witha ¥ are adapted for dry woods. Many of the Asters and Golden-
rods will thrive here. Most of them come in late summer, when other flowers are passed;
they do quite well, also, in dry, open places.

Occasionally will be seen two of the signs against the same plant; this means that
the plant seems to do equally well in both positions.

Hardy Ferns

The Ferns of New England (about forty kinds) take as readily to cultivation as the
common garden flowers. While flowers require a sunny place, Ferns delight in some
shaded nook shut out from the bright sunlight by buildings or trees; they can also be
grown in boxes or pans on the porch, in the house or under trees, any place that is shaded;
but are not suitable for house culture in winter, for that is their time of rest; they will not

Dicksonia punctilobula growing under our fern bower

respond to any attention given in
winter unless it be near springtime.

Soils. We grow the greater share
of these Ferns in a moist and sandy
loam soil, well drained, under a cover-
ing of boughs, high enough to work
under and get among the beds. In
making the beds, we use for the smaller
Ferns a good sprinkling of leaf-mold
and a little well-decayed manure made
very fine; this is thoroughly mixed
with the soil, and after the Ferns are
planted, a little leaf-mold sprinkled
around the plants tends to keep the
soil light and porous. Raising the
beds 2 or 3 inches, a little higher in
the center, gives better drainage and
allows the surplus water to drain off.
The larger and stronger kinds thrive
in almost any soil, shaded and not
too wet: they require no special care
or soil, yet will respond to cultivation
readily. Order by number if you
wish.

Give a good mulching of leaves in winter. Our hardy Ferns can be planted at any time
when not in full growth, in early spring as soon as the frost is gone, and any time in autumn
until the ground is frozen.

Unless noted, plant an inch or so deep. A few of the evergreens need to be planted with
the crowns or new buds just at the surface or above. Note is made of all such.

Plants in quantity. We offer some sorts that are desirable for massing by the hundred,
but at prices given, the purchaser is to pay transportation charges.

1 ADIANTUM pedatum (Maidenhair Fern). & The most graceful of all our New Meee

land Ferns and very easily
grown in rich, moist, shady
places; about a foot high.
This, like nearly all the Ferns,
needs good drainage. It will
establish itself in one season,
and increase in strength year
after year. Plant an inch
deep and about 1 foot apart
for massing. Clumps, 25 cts.
each, $2.00 per dozen. See
illustration.

2 ASPIDIUM acrostichoides
(Christmas Fern). ™ An ever-
green species, about a foot
high, with deep green fronds
simply divided. Although it
is one of our common species,
it is a pretty one, and easily
grown in shade, in good garden
soil, well drained. A good
Fern for planting with other
sorts. Plant with the new
crowns or buds just at the
surface. 20 cts. each, $1.50
per doz. $7.00 per 100.

Adiantum pedatum

See page one for explanation of signs before description of plants.

Clump of Aspidium Goldianum and Asplenium angustifolium (see pages 5 and 6)

3 Aspidium aculeatum, var. Braunii (Prickly Shield Fern). & 4 The leaves are evergreen
and shining, and when well grown it is one of the finest of our native Ferns. It
is found along the mountain brooks, but takes quite readily to cultivation in the
shaded corner where the drainage is good; benefited by a little leaf-mold. Grows
about 12 to 18 inches high; plant 1 foot apart, with the new crowns just at the surface.

25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.

4 A. cristatum (Crested
Wood Fern). @ This is
a more common ever-
green Fern, found in wet,
springy places; about a
foot high. A moist,
shaded place is suited to
its growth. Gives a
decided coloring to the
Fern-bed; plant about 8
inches apart in front of
the tall sorts. Responds
to cultivation with the
new crowns not covered.
20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

5 A. cristatum, var. Clintoni-
anum. # In every way
larger than the preceding.
A showy Fern and easy
to grow in any shaded
spot; it will thrive in
quite wet places.

Aspidium acrostichoides (see page 3)

See page one for explanation of signs before description of plants.

Aspidium cristatum, var. Clintonianum, continued.
2 to 3 feet high. Plant 18 inches apart. 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.
6 A. Felix-mas (Male Fern). & A very beautiful and hardy Fern, green all the year.
Rare. 1 to 13 feet. Plant in a rich, shady place, 1 foot apart, new growth or crowns
just at the surface. 30 cts. each.

7 A. Goldianum (Goldie’s Wood
Fern). & This species often grows 4
feet high, with fronds a foot or more
wide. Broadly ovate in outline.
Where a single specimen is desired
that has grace and beauty in its
bearing, we would recommend Gold-
ie’s Wood Fern. This fern is not often
seen in New England. It is easily
grown, and is perfectly hardy. Plant
an inch deep and 18 inches apart for
massing. 25cts.each $2.00 per doz.
See cut of this growing with A.
angustifolium.

8 A. marginale (Evergreen Wood
Fern). & + One of our prettiest ever-
green species. Fronds 1 to 2 feet in
length, 3 to 5 inches wide, thickish,
andofadeepgreencolor. It delights
in rich shady, rocky hillsides, yet it
thrives in my garden with Maidenhair
and other kinds, Plant this fern with
the crown an inch above the surface,
and afoot apart. 20 cts. each, $1.50
per doz. $7.00 per 100.

9 A. munitum. m An evergreen Fern
from Oregon, resembling A. acrosti-
choides, but finer; desirable for rock-
work in shade. Plant with the crown
just at the surface and about 2 inches
apart. 25 cts. each.

10 A. Noveboracense. (New York
Shield Fern). & A slender species,

Aspidium aculeatum, var. Braunii, as it grows under our fern bower (see page 4)

See page one for explanation of signs before description of plants.

11 A. spinulosum (Spinulose Wood Fern). gf
A very pretty evergreen species, about 15
inches high, with finely dissected fronds about
4 inches wide. Quite a prominent Fern in
moist woods and on shaded banks,- where it
becomes easily established when planted.
It does quite well in the Fern-bed planted well
back. Plant 18 inches apart, with the new
buds above ground. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per
doz. $7.00 per 100.

12 A. spinulosum, var. dilatatum. Similar to
A. spinulosum, but with broader fronds.
This is usually found in moist, cool, shaded
places in beds of leaf-mold well toward the top
of our higher mountains. Giveitan abundance
of this black wood dirt in planting in the
bed. 18 inches apart; same as above. 20
cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

Aspidium cristatum var. Ciintonianum 13 A. Thelypteris (Marsh Shield Fern.) @ A

eae nee) foot high, with fronds about 23 inches wide.

We see this growing wild in large beds where

it is quite wet, in open, sunny places. It can be cultivated in moist, open places,
and is benefited by adding leaf-mold. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. $7.00 per 100.

14 ASPLENIUM angustifolium (Narrow-leaved Spleenwort). & A charming Fern, with
light green, graceful fronds. Do not miss it in making up your list. Grows 1 to 3
feet high, with simply divided fronds; these divisions are 3 to 4 inches long. Its
home is in rich, shaded places. where it is quite moist. It takes quite kindly to culti-
vation in the Fern-bed. Set well back, about 18 inches apart. 25 cts. each, $2.00
per doz. See cut.

20 Botrychium ternatum. © Six to 12 inches high. Fronds evergreen, somewhat resembling
the preceding, but smaller and less divided. Found in moist, open fields, often in
mowlands and is quite conspicuous in late autumn by the yellowish fruit, and finely
cut green or variously tinted leaves which give it a distinctive beauty. Plant 6 inches
apart, with the new bud about.an inch below the surface. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.

21 CAMPTOSORUS rhizophyllus (Walking-leaf). A little, low-creeping Fern, with
evergreen fronds, 4 to 9 inches long, growing in tufts. The ends of these fronds rest
on the ground and take root, forming new plants at each ‘“‘step’’ thus taken. This
curious habit has given the Fern its popular name. Found growing naturally on
shaded, calcareous rocks. Interesting and quite easy to grow in the rock-garden.
If to be grown in the Fern-bed, use a good sprinkling of leaf-mold, raising the bed
2 or 3 inches, and plant on front edge about 6 inches apart. Don’t cover the leaves.
15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.

22 CRYPTOGRAMMA acrostichoides (American Rock-Brake). ™ A small, evergreen
Fern, 6 inches high. forming nice little clumps. A native of the Pacific coast, in
crevices of rocks; thrives in the rock-garden. It also takes kindly to a Fern-bed to
which leaf-mold has beenadded. It makesa good border. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

23 CYSTOPTERIS bulbifera (Bladder Fern) ™ Fronds 1 to 2 feet long, narrow and
slender. Light green in color, and quite graceful. Grows best in a moist, shady place.
This makes a good plant for the Fern basket. It can be planted 8 to 12 inches apart
and is quite desirable for planting in front of stronger Ferns like Aspidium spinulosum,
A. marginale, etc. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. $6.00 per 100.

24. C. fragilis. & Smaller; 4 to 8 inches high; fronds two or three times divided. Forms

greens. It grows about 6 inches high, in moist, shady places; is an evergreen, quite
showy, and does quite well under cultivation. It can be grown in the Fern-dish in-
doors, or in any moist. shady place. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

29 L. lucidulum (Shining Club Moss.) m Pretty evergreen. 3 to 8 inches high. Leaves
4 inch long, growing thickly along the stalk. Moist shady soil. Plant rather thickly
for massing. 3 to 4 inches apart. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

30 LYGODIUM palmatum (Climbing Fern). — Grows 1 to 3 feet high. Stalk slender and
twining from a slender, running root-stock. A choice and rare kind, needing some
support in a moist, shady spot. Plant 1 foot apart and keep the soil well mulched
with leaves for one or two years, adding a little leaf-mold to the soil. A colony of
this seen growing in the wild, climbing the low bushes, is a beautiful sight, and not
often seen, as the plant is rather rare or local. 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.

31 ONOCLEA sensibilis (Sensitive
Fern). @® # A foot high. Wet
places, open sunor shade. Itcan be
planted in quite wet places, too wet

37 PELLAA atropurpurea (Clayton’s Cliff Brake). A low evergreen Fern, 8 to 12 inches
high, usually found on limestone cliffs. We got good results last season with this
Fern in clear leaf-mold, raising the bed about 6 inches in a shaded place, using small
flat stones between the plants; this kept the soil from drying out. We got plants a
foot high in this way. Choice, 25 cts.

Phegopteris hexagonoptera

41 Phegopteris hexagonoptera. A good Fern for the shady corner, 7 to 12 inches
wide, broader than long; quite showy and easily grown in almost any garden soil.
One foot high; desirable for growing in front of the taller and larger kinds. Plant
8 inches apart. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. $6.00 per 100.

42 P. polypodioides. Fronds smaller and darker green than in the last. Eight inches
high, often found on mossy banks just above the water of a mountain brook, and
often with Dryopteris, but not so particular as to soil when cultivated. It makes a
good Fern for the front border of a Fern bed, and, if planted 6 inches apart. should,

Lilies

Lilies are among the finest of our garden flowers, and take quite kindly to cultivation.
They like a moist, yet well-drained soil; although some kinds will thrive in soils heavy in
texture, the greater number do much better in a light soil. Lilies are, as a rule, planted in
autumn, and no doubt that is the better time for planting a large number, especially if they
be imported bulbs or kept long out of soil. But for strong bulbs, taken direct from the
nursery and planted without being allowed to dry, they can be planted in spring with good
results—as we have proved many times. The soil for the Lily bed should be deep and well
worked over with fine, well-decayed manure. The bulbs should be set about 4 inches deep,
but not allowed to come in contact with the rich soil. Place either sand or leaf-mold around
each bulb; this will help protect the bulbs, and the roots can easily reach the rich soil
beneath.

Herbaceous Peonies

Thrifty perennials, with very large, showy flowers in a great variety of colors. No
class of plants is better adapted for general cultivation than this one, as they are not par-
ticular as to soil or position. They do exceedingly well in partial shade, will give grand
results banked in front of shrubbery, along a driveway, mixed with other tall-growing plants,
like phloxes, etc., or planted in masses by themselves. They are great feeders, so the bed
or border for Peonies should be made deep and rich by spading in a quantity of well-decayed
cow-manure 2 feet deep or more, mixing it thoroughly with the soil. The crowns should be
planted not more than 2 inches beneath the surface of the soil. Each fall put a good cover-
ing of manure over the beds, which will be all the covering or mulching needed through
the winter. For the greater perfection of bloom, they require an abundance of moisture,
and some growers recommend liquid manure applied to the soil just before and during the
blooming season which is the middle of May to July. When properly cared for, these
Peonies will thrive twenty years or more.

flies when they alight on the modified leaf forms. Cypripediums, when seen growing as in

the cut shown above are a thing of great beauty. The Droseras and Sarracenias are

plants which are very attractive to the lover of plant curiosities. Any one who has a wet
spot can have one of these gardens containing such plants. When planting such
plants, it is well to cover the ground with Sphagnum moss—just a thin covering.

This will protect the foliage from mud spattering on the leaves during a hard shower.

It will also prevent too rapid evaporation of moisture.

411 ACORUS Calamus (Sweet Flag). Grows in

pretty, but the wonder is centered in the Lairy-edged,
roundish leaves, which are so sensitive that they
quickly close if touched on the inside. Insects are quite
often caught and closely held until they die, when the
leaf-trap again opens and is ready for more game. It
is easily grown in wet or very damp sand, either in pots
or in the open ground, in damp moss or bog. 15 cts.

each, $2.00 per doz.; by express, $1.50 per doz.

Hardy Orchids

The Orchids of New England, for the most part, are shade-loving plants, and delight
in a soil well drained and largely composed of leaf-mold. While the common border plants
are not particular as to soil they like the open sun and are exposed to the drying winds;
but these little Orchids require altogether a different treatment, both in soil and position.
We find them in the wild, usually in a soil composed largely of leaf-mold; the trees and
rocks, the unevenness of the ground, low shrubs and ferns, all help to keep the air
and soil cool and moist, and with but little circulation of the air. We add some
bog-moss to the leaf-mold in making the bed for the smaller Orchids, raising the bed
several inches to insure good drainage. Here Aplectrum, Goodyeras, Liparis, Orchis
spectabilis, Habenaria bracteata, H. Hookeri and Cypripedium acaule will thrive. A few
of our native Orchids are really bog plants and desire more moisture, like Arethusa,
Calopogon, Habenaria blephariglottis, H. dilatata, H. hyperborea, Cypripedium spectabile
and Pogonia ophioglossoides. Select a wet place where the surface is constantly
saturated with water, building up a bed a little, and on top cover with moss 4 to 6 inches
deep. Plant these Orchids in clean sphagnum. In this way we have had excellent
success in growing them in shade.

442 APLECTRUM hyemale (Puttyroot). This
plant sends up from a bulbous root late
in summer a pointed green leaf, 2 to 6 inches
long, which lasts through the winter, and
in spring a stalk about a foot high bearing
a raceme of large, greenish brown flowers.
Rich, moist, shady places. 20 cts.

443 CALOPOGON pulchellus. Although this
plant is more generally found in swamps
and peat bogs, it also frequently grows in
moist, sandy soil. It is a small bulb about
the size of a large bean, which sends up in
spring a long, grass-like leaf, and a stalk
about a foot high, bearing in June and July
two to six showy pink-purple flowers about
an inch broad. 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz.

444 CYPRIPEDIUM acaule (Lady’s-Slipper;
Moccasin Flower). This is often called the
Red Lady’s-Slipper, but the flower is rose-
purple in color. The plant sends up two
broadish green leaves from the base, and
from between them comes a stalk about a
foot high bearing a single large, showy
flower. Plant in a well-drained soil, with
some leaf-mold. This does quite well in
pots. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; extra-
strong clumps, 30 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
(See cut on page 60.)

445 C. parviflorum (Small Yellow Lady’s-
Slipper). This is one of the very best of
the hardy Orchids for cultivation, growing
about a foot high; stem leafy, bearing at
the top one or two very showy yellow flowers;
fragrant. It does exceedingly well in a rich,
shaded spot where leaf-mold has been added,
and should be left undisturbed for several
years. It will also thrive in the bog-garden,
if not too wet. May to July. 20 cts. each,
$1.50 per doz.

446 C. pubescens (Large Yellow Lady’s -Slipper).
Very much like Parviflorum, only the

flowers are

larger. This
should be

planted in a

rich bed in

which jeaf- Goodyera pubescens (see page 62)

mold should

some moist, yet well-drained, shady spot. It should

grow stronger for several years if left undisturbed.

May and June. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.; (See

illustration from photograph on page 61.)

447 C. spectabile (Showy Lady’s-Slipper). The finest
and most showy of all our Orchids. It grows about
2 feet high, bearing along the stalk several rather
large, roundish leaves, and on top one or two quite
large rose-purple or nearly white flowers. It is a bog-
loving plant, yet does exceedingly well in a moist, and
partly shaded bed of peat or leaf-mold. It is alsoa
good pot plant for the cool greenhouse, or where the
air is not too warm or dry. Nothing can be more
charming than masses of this plant seen in a great
cedar swamp, its natural home. We counted over
