How to Get Your Plants Free

THIS PAGE IS OF INTEREST TO ALL READ IT

THERE are those who do not wish to spare the money or do not feel able to purchase
flowers, although they deeply love and enjoy them. And then there are those who take pleas-
ure in interesting their friends and neighbors in cultivation of plants, for indeed all communi-
ties are the better for a liberal display of flowers. We wish to call the attention of such persons
to the fact that while they are working for us, they are at the same time supplying themselves
with plants at no outlay of money to themselves, but are practically getting them free.

HOW TO SEND CLUB ORDERS

Keep each person’s order separate, giving his full name, with the amount of the order. Then
make your selection to the amount due you, naming plants desired as your discount, signing
your name as the GETTER-UP OF THE CLUB.

HOW WE PACK ORDERS

Each person’s plants will be packed separately, with his or her name attached, so you will
have nothing to do but deliver the bundle. If the plants are to be sent by mail, and you desire
them to be sent direct to the person, we will do so when the order amounts to ONE DOLLAR
or more.

Do not include collections or special offers in making up your Club Orders, as premiums
apply only to price per single plant or bulb.

Remember that the getter-up of the club is entitled to all discounts. We cannot allow each
member of the club to select discounts, etc., and then allow the getter-up of the club to select
another discount on the same orders.

EXCEPTIONS

THESE club rates are not allowed on Shade Trees, Magnolias, Hedge Plants, or Plants when
priced by the dozen. Nor can I allow any of these to be selected as premiums or discounts.
You can readily s^e the reason for this, as I could not make you a special offer and give
you a discount besides. Please remember this when ordering, and, if possible, keep the above ex-
ceptions separate from that part of your order entitled to Club Rates.

error be made in filling an order, my customers may feel assured that I will
promptly rectify it, and do all in my power to give perfect satisfaction.

General List of Everblooming Roses

No flower is so universally popular as the Rose, the “Queen of Flowers.” It is every-
where wanted and always admired.

The demand for roses is increasing every year, and I feel justified in stating that my col-
lection is unsurpassed.

Roses will grow in any ordinary fertile ground, but they are particularly fond of a heavy
soil, liberally enriched and well-cultivated. The ground should be well spaded and pulverized
to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in a good coat of any well-decayed
manure. When the ground is thoroughly prepared, fine and in nice condition, put in the plant
slightly deeper than it was before, and cover it with fine earth, taking care to draw it closely
around the stems and pack firmly. It is important that the earth he tightly pressed on roots;
water immediately after planting, so as to settle the soil, and if hot or windy, it may he well
to shade for a few days. The ground should not he allowed to bake or become hard, but should
be stirred frequently with hoe and rake so as to keep light and mellow, as well as free it from
weeds and grass. The proper time to prune is early in the spring before growth has commenced;
no exact time can be given, as that depends on the locality. The Hybrids must be cut back
severely. They bloom best on strong, new wood. In pruning the Everblooming Roses all win-
ter killed branches should be removed, also the wood which has become exhausted after sev-
eral years’ blooming, and younger shoots should be allowed to take their place.

Bride

The plants offered in this list are all well grown and strong, according to varieties. Always
remember that some varieties, and often the finer ones, are of dwarf habit. I name only the
most popular, vigorous and free blooming Roses, but can suppyl any others.

Strong plants from 2^-inch pots, 10c each; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1,00. Our selection of varieties
(many from the new and scarce list), 25 for $1.00. No extras. Strong 2-year plants, 25c each;
$2.50 per dozen.

shaded with violet-crimson; large, double and
sweet; a splendid rose.

Augustine Guinoisseau (White La France) — An-
other distinct sport from La France, identical

its own against many of the new sorts. Noted

terpart of Catherine Mermet in every particu-
lar excepting that it is deeper in color.

son, being equal to American Beauty in size
and form. Buds long and nointed, forming
full double blooms.

Killarney — A splendid new rose, beautiful
pointed buds and extra large flowers; bright
coral pink; very fragrant and beautiful.

in form; the color is bright cherry crimson;
the stems are stiff and exceedingly long; a
vigorous grower and free in bloom.

La Detroit — The color is shell pink, shaded soft
rose; the outer petals cream color, with fra-
grance like Bon Silene.

Melody — A most charming and decidedly beau-
tiful rose, which attracted the attention of all
visitors to our rose gardens during the past
summer, because of its marvelous free-bloom-
ing qualities. The blooms are of good size;
the color is an intense, pure, deep saffron-
yellow, with primrose edges, a delightful col-
or harmony. A rose of the highest merits.

Madam Abel Chatenay — A great rose of extra-
ordinary merit. A free bloomer with flowers
of good size, rosy-carmine with darker shad-
ings; full and double and of splendid sub-
stance.

Madame Jenny Guillemot — Deep saffron-yellow,
opening canary with dark golden shadings;
buds long and pointed; petals and blooms
immense. A very beautiful and upright
grower and free brancher.

Madame Ravary — Not a new rose but not largely
disseminated in this country. In growth and
habit it is much like Madame Caroline Test-
out, and will always command a good price,
being difficult to prooagate. Long pointed
buds of beautiful golden-yellow, opening to
large, full, orange-yellow flowers; very free
flowering. Superb.

grant.

ai d yellow, bearing a great profusion of ex-
ceedingly large brilliant roses.

Mine. Segond Weber — Rosy-salmon; one of the
greatest novelties of recent years; the bud is
long and pointed, opening into an enornfous
bloom which deepens in color until fully ex-
panded, when it is as impressive as an Amer-
ican Beauty; a fine, strong grower. 20c; 2
years, 50c.

Mrs. I oley Hobbs — This is beyond question the
best Tea yet introduced, as it pcsses-es in a
most marked degree every quality necessary
to constitute a good and perfect rose. It is
a veritable giant among Teas. The huge thick
shell-shaped petals create a bloom of excep-
tional merit; color delicate ivory-white, faint-
ly tinged pink on the edges of the petals.
Deliciously perfumed. This rose stands with-
out a rival.

Miss Alice de Rothschild — Not since the advent
of Marechal Niel has any rose excited such
admiration as this truly magnificent variety,
by many called the bedding Marechal Niel.
The color is rich, deep citron-yellow, which
intensifies as the blooms expand; large, full
and of perfect form with high pointed center;
the petals charmingly reflex. Deliciously fra-
grant. Marechal Niel perfume. Superb in
every respect.

new variety with very bright, large and nicely
formed flowers; color a distinct and charm-
ing shade of. satin pink.

My Maryland — This splendid rose is destined to
become one of the most popular varieties in
cultivation. The flowers are large, full and
double, and perfectly formed. The color is a
most distinct and beautiful pink. One of the
really great roses.

stem; very full and very lasting; form per-
fect; delightfully fragrant; a very free flow-
ering rose, on strong canes, after the style of
American Beauty; color deep rose.

J. E. Jackson,

Dear Sir: — Roses came yesterday. I was more than surprised at the prompt attention. Sent
the order on the 5th and received the plants on the 8th. Nice large plants. I thank you for
filling my order. I am in the business myself, selling large, full grown bushes.

Sincerely yours,

Village Springs, Ala., Feb. 24.

Mr. J. E. Jackson, Piedmont Greenhouses.

Dear Sir: — I write to say that the 26 roses you sent me last April for $1.00 are all doing nicely.
Not one died, and nearly all of them bloomed beautifully throughout the fall. I did not allow
them to bloom until firmly rooted. I have bought roses from many houses for the past .thirty
years, but have never received finer* plants than yours, and never before had not one to fail out
of 26. Shall send another order in a few weeks. I send names of friends whom I hope will order
from your house this spring. Yours very truly,

Climbing Roses

The Noisettes and Climbing Teas are included in this class, which is especially valuable in the
South for covering porches, arbors, trellises and the like.

The plants obtain great luxuriance in our climate.

All Nice, Strong Plants, Well Rooted, from 2*4 inch pots. Price, except otherwise noted, 10c
each, $1.00 per dozen. Strong 2-year-old Plants 25c, except otherwise noted.

Dorothy Perkins.

Climbing White Maman Coehet (Needle, 1911.)
(C. T.) — If there is one rose that stands out
in the affections of the people more than
another it is White Maman Coehet. We grow
many thousand more plants of White Maman
Coehet than any other variety. Here we have
a climbing form that will become as popular
a climber as its parent has as a bush rose.
Grand, huge white flowers tinged pink. 15c.

Dorothy Perkins — Flowers are borne in large
clusters, are very double, with prettily
crinkled petals; remarkably pretty pointed
buds, beautiful clear shell-pink in color, last-
ing a long time without fading.

Climbing Marie Guillot — Of a semi-climbing
habit, and is identical in bloom with Marie
Guillot, the loveliest of all white roses in
bloom. It is worthy of a place in any flower
garden.

Estelle Pradel (Zelia Pradel) — Lovely, fine
white buds, full and sweet; a profuse bloomer
and strong grower.

Hiawatha — Among the hardy climbing Roses
none surpass the beautiful Hiawatha. It
grows vigorously, and the strong canes are
densely clothed with healthy foliage that is
retained until the snows of winter. Every
summer the plants are smothered with great
clusters of rich bloom, often 50 or more flowers
in a cluster, and these flowers are more lasting

than those of any other summer-blooming
Rose. There is not another Rose so brilliant —
the color being a glowing ruby-carmine with
clear white at base, and a mass of golden
stamens at the center, affording a contrast in
colors that is charming beyond description.
Price 15c.

Climbing Malmaison — A climbing form of the
old favorite; very valuable on account of its
color. 15c; 2-year-old plants, 35c.

climber; bloom identical and just as free.

bright and striking; a continuous and profuse
bloomer; very sweet. 15c; 2 years, 35c.

magnolia fragrance. 15c; 2 years, 35c.

dark crimson; very strong grower.

Lamarque — Pure white, with lemon-colored cen-
ter; a good grower.

Mary Washington — Flowers pure white; very
sweet and produced in large clusters from
early spring till frost. It is a strong grower
and quite hardy.

Marechal Neil — The grandest rose of any kind
or color. The immense size and dark yellow-
golden color of Marechal Neil flowers are fa-
miliar to all. 10c, 15c, 25c, 35c and 50c.

Madam Jules Graveraux — A splendid new rose
of highest value. Makes long-pointed buds
and extra large, double flowers of excellent
substance. Color a pretty shade of. chamois
yellow, with rosy-peach center; very beauti-
ful and a free bloomer.

Pillar of Gold — The color is a deep yellow,
flushed with coppery yellow. Reverse of pet-
als shows touches of bright rose. If you have
seen the deep yellow of Mad. Francisca Kru-
ger in the fall, then you get an idea of the
deep golden yellow of this rose. At times it
is variable in color, coming in beautiful
Bridesmaid pink. Base of petals deep golden
yellow. The blooms are double to the center,
large size. Price 15c; 2-year-old plants, 35c;
$3.50 per dozen.

Philadelphia Crimson Rambler — This now fa-

intense crimson color. Blooming earlier than

advantage of being entirely free from mildew.

stance.

strong, vigorous grower. 15c; 2-year-old
plants, 35c.

outer petals lighter, center coppery-yellow;
strong grower; good bloomer.

has justly gained greater popularity than the
beautiful pink Dorothy Perkins. The White
Dorothy is a duplicate except in color, which
is white, a decided acquisition to this class
of roses.

J. E. JACKSON, GAINESVILLE, GA.

Hybrid Perpetual Roses

All Roses of this Class are perfectly hardy. The flowers are very double and of the most
gorgeous and dazzling colors, but they do not bloom perpetually as their name would lead one
to suppose. They will give one grand crop of bloom in the spring, and some sorts bloom occa-
sionally in the summer and fall.

Price, from 2^ -inch pots, 15c each, $1.50 per dozen; two-year-old plants, 25c each, $2.50
per dozen.

bloomer; flowers large, very double and full,

Dear Sir: — The 25 roses I ordered of you for our church yard reached me duly and safely. I

am as well pleased with the varieties as if I had made the selection myself. I had the rosebed

ready for their reception and soon placed them where I wish them to grow.

I have told some of my neighbors about them. One or two told me they are going to send

for the set. I influenced one of my friends to order a set three or four years ago. They proved
very satsfactory. I thank you so much for your kindness. Yours with best wishes,

MRS. P. M. J. PARK.

you for the address of such friends.

Let me send you 25 Everblooming Roses for $1.00 and if they do not please you, re-
turn them and I will refund the money.

Our roses are all home grown, consequently are better suited for our hot climate.
Satisfaction guaranteed. Remember, all my roses, 10c ones as well as two-year-olds,
bloom freely the first year they are planted.

I have a large stock of two-year-old roses that bloomed freely all last summer, and

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

How an Amateur May Grow
Chrysanthemums

The first important item in growing potted
Chrysanthemums is the proper preparation of
the soil. One-third manure and two-thirds sod,
stacked together and rotted (must be thorough-
ly rotted), and run through a coarse sieve is
best. To one bushel of this soil a double hand-
ful of pure “bone-meal,” one handful of lime
and one of wood ashes, and you are ready for
potting. Drainage is of utmost importance, for
without it the surplus water will sour the soil,
the root will decay, and all your labor will have
been in vain. About April 15 to May 1 get good,
healthy plants from some reliable florist, and
repot them at once in 3% or 4-inch pots, and
when the pots are filled with roots, repot into
6-inch pots, and from these, when filled with
roots, into 9 or 10-inch pots.

In making the final shift, leave iy2 or 2
inches of space at the top of the pot to receive
water, and later on, when the buds appear, this
space can be filled with manure to act as a
stimulant. Immediately after the last potting,
plunge the pots in the ground up to the rim,
place your pots in rows 2 feet apart by 1 foot,
and water only when it is needed. Never allow
the soil to become dry enough to wilt the plant.
With a soft cord fasten the plant to a small,
neat cane-stake plunged deep enough to make
steady, and if the branches are inclined to fall
over, tie around the plant a cord which will act
as a hoop and keep it in shape.

If a bushy plant is desired, when the plant is
about 6 inches high, pinch out the top; this will
cause other branches to appear, and when these
branches are 4 or 5 inches long, pinch the top
out, and so on until July 15, when you must give
the final pinching. At this season you can be-
gin to feed your plants with manure water,
made by putting a shovelful of cow manure
into a half barrel of water. Give this once a
week until the buds begin to form; then you
can increase to twice a week. As the buds be-
gin to swell, give it three times a week until
the buds begin to show color; then give it once

a week and as the buds begin to unfold with-
hold ail stimulants. It should be said that soot
water is good, given, say, once in two weeks
in place of manure water. Now to grow fine
flowers on long stems, you must watch the
plant, and as soon as the buds are large enough
you must remove all as fast as they appear, ex-
cept the largest and strongest bud on the end
of each branch; also remove all buds that ap-
pear at the junction of the leaves, and fine,
large flowers will be your reward.

As to the plants grown in the open ground,
it is best not to have it too rich; prepare as
you would for your vegetable garden. In case
you have some plants that have stood over win-
ter and which come up in clumps, you must take
them up and plant them, only one sprout in a
place.

Let me tell you how I grow some of my
finest blooms: I prepare the ground as above

stated, and then plant in rows 2 y2 feet apart
and 6 or 8 inches apart in the rows, and train
plants to one flower each. Place stakes lxl
inch thick and 4 feet high, 17 feet apart in the
rows, and fasten to these stakes by giving a
cord one turn around each stake. Three cords,
12 inches apart will be necessary, the first one
12 inches from the ground. Stretch them from
one end of the row to the other, and tie the
plants to these cords as fast as they grow up
to them. Keep up a high state of cultivation,
and water if needed during dry, hot weather.
When the buds appear take all off except one
to each plant as fast as they appear. At this
time give them manure water (same as used
for . pot plants) about every ten days until they
show color, then leave off the manure water,
but don’t allow them to get too dry. Follow
this treatment and kindly let me know the re-
sult.

NEW, SCARCE AND DESIRABLE CHRYSAN-
THEMUMS

Plants in this list 15c each; $1.50 per dozen

Ben Wells — An enormous, drooping Japanese.
Color blush white. One of the best for ex-
hibitions. Takes early crown.

Chrysolora— This new variety can be briefly de-
scribed as an early Col. D. Appleton, coming
in 15 days earlier; is of larger size, stronger
stem, not quite as tall and in color is inter-
mediate between this variety and Major Bon-
naffon. Best buds are those selected August
1st to 15th.

Dolly Dimple — Large, well-formed, late, yellow
variety; strong grower, with good foliage.

F. T. Q,uittenton — New 1911 Novelty. A deep
crimson, every petal of which naturally re-
flexes, showing the color to the best advan-
tage. This is a particularly strong grower,
conforming in all respects to what is latterly
considered the Wells-Pockett type, short-
jointed, heavy growth and perfect foliage.
Does not burn a petal and, on that account
alone, will rank well in the list of crimsons.
Does not take bud before August 25th, as
earlier buds are so crowded with petals that
they cannot properly develop.

Golden Glow — Bright yellow, of velvety finish;
fine stem and foliage. Flower 5 y2 inches in
diameter, elegant in form. The very best
early yellow.

Glenview — An enormous incurving globe of dark
bronze and clear red. Dwarf grower with
stiff stem; easy doer; a magnificent sort for
exhibition or for commerce, as the color is
very pleasing.

Golden Eagle — Dwarf, easy doer; long, incurv-
ing golden petals.

Good Grafcious — A unique shade of peach pink,
remarkable in shape. The petals are incurved,
overlapping each other.

Howard Gould — 'Florets are long and grooved
and the flower builds up into an enormous
globe. Inside of the petal bright golden
chestnut. Reverse, pure deep gold.

L’Amethyste — Royal purple of the finest shade,
and of extraordinary size.

Lady Carmichael — New 1911 Novelty. Pure
white Japanese, reflexed with perfect foliage
and stem like an iron rod. This variety was
really planted too late to be shown at its
best. Next year it will unquestionably find
its place very near the top of exhibition
whites. Buds August.

Lynnwood Hall — Pure white. One of the largest
in size; perfectly incurved.

Mile. Jeanne Nonin — Scored 98 and won the
silver cup at Chicago. For Thanksgiving and
later this has no rival. One of the largest
size, perfectly globular, finely finished, an easy
doer, a splendid keeper and shipper. This
variety is queen of commercial whites.

Mile. Marie Liger — Closely incurving blooms of
large size. The color is pearl pink, deepen-
ing to a bright pink, shaded at the base of
petals. Stems are very stiff, fully covered
with handsome foliage.

M. Louisseau-Rosseau — Enormous incurving

pink in two tones of color; foliage grand,
stem perfect; no neck. One of the most beau-
tiful and imposing of the year.

Miss Clay Frick — White sport from Wm. Duck-
ham. Every “ ’mum” grower knows the varie-
ty, Wm. Duckham; the sport above named is
identical with the parent save in color, which
is almost white. This variety won the C. S.
A. prize for “best undisseminated variety” at
the Chicago show.

Mrs. David Syme — A grand white that is booked
to displace all of our other whites on the
exhibition table. It carries the foliage right
up to the flower stem absolutely perfect, and
when taken on the bud about August 15th,
produces a flower that is as near perfection
in its color as it is possible lo get.

Mrs. George Hunt — Large, soft, yellow Jap. In-
curved; petals hooked in, similar to Philadel-
phia, and of same color; a dwarf, robust grow-
er.

Mrs. Clias. H. Totty — Very large, of a beautiful
shade of light pink. Semi-dwarf.

October Frost — Early October; the largest com-
mercial white of its date.

Patty — A beautiful “live” shade of soft Enchant-
ress pink. A pretty incurving variety; dwarf.
A fine late variety.

President Taft — Japanese incurved petals of the
purest white which closely incurve, forming
a huge glistening ball. Stem and foliage am-
ple. 4 Yz feet. Best bud August 20, which
matures October 15. A first-class white com-
ing in with Col. D. Appleton; will be a wel-
come adjunct to the mid-season section. First-
class certificate C. S. A.

Roman Gold — From September buds; a Japan-
ese incurved and darker yellow than Golden
Wedding or Golden Age. From August bud
it produces a large reflexed flower, very suit-
able for exhibition tables but not so intense
in color. Best bud August 15th.

Ramapo — American seedling of Col. Appleton,
which will take the place of that variety. It
has all the good points of Appleton, the same
color, splendid stem, foliage right up to the
flower, and never shows a top-knot as does
Appleton. We strongly recommend this va-
riety and guarantee it will find a place as a
first-class commercial yellow. Any bud after
August 20th.

Smith’s Advance — New 1911. Pure white when
fully expanded, showing a creamy center when
semi-developed. This is the earliest large
white variety ever known. Buds selected
June 10th were cut July 25th, 534 inches in
diameter with excellent stem, foliage and re-
markable substance. The later buds for Au-
gust and September gave larger and finer
blooms.

White Cloud — A large, deep Jap., 8 inches in
diameter; white on the edge, cream at the
center, finishing almost pure white.

Well’s Late Pink — One of the finest things sent
out in many years; flower is extra large, stem
and foliage absolutely perfect. Exhibition
and commercial growers alike will find this
a splendid flower.

Wm. Turner — This variety has created a sensa-
tion as exhibited at several shows. Makes a
perfect ball of the purest possible white and
as such will displace Merza and all others of
that character on the exhibition table. Time
will prove this variety to become one of our
best standard commercial kinds also.

Gracilis Luminosa — This begonia is the latest
novelty. As the name implies, it is one of
the most symmetrical and yet graceful plants
we have ever known; very strong and robust,
but still keeping its shape so as to make a
very attractive winter house plant. Its foli-
age resembles that grand old variety, Vernon;
rich glossy green, often shaded deep bronze.

cherry, changing to a clear coral red.

red flowers. Blooms almost continually. This
is the choicest of the flowering type.

Alba Picta Improved — Same as Alba Picta in

and larger flowers, which are twice the size
of the old one. This fine variety originated
here with me, and has been tested five sea-

green leaves, spotted with silver; produces
white flowers, in bunches, on ends of growth
stems; very handsome.

foliage.

metallic luster over all. Flowers rosy-white,

plish red; flowers beautiful coral red, in large

maroon; deeply serrated edges of bright olive-
green.

hardy climbers are out of bloom. Grows quickly
and strongly, reaching a height of 15 to 20 feet.

FERNS

The popularity of ferns has increased won-
derfully. In the past few years I have added
greatly to my collection, which is now the larg-
est in the South. Ferns are now indispensable
in all choice table and house decorations. Where
there can be a little moisture and shade all
varieties listed will do well. They delight in
a good leaf mold. Good drainage must be pro-
vided, as stagnant water allowed to remain
about the roots is fatal to ferns as well as all
other plants.

Adiantum Croweanum — (New) — This is not only
the best and most profitable Maidenhair to
grow for cutting, but it is also the best varie-
ty to recommend to the retail buyers for house
culture, it standing the dry atmosphere of
the room better than any variety we have yet
tried. Strong 2%-inch pot plants, 25c; 3-inch,
50c; 4-inch, 75c; 6-inch, $1.00 to $1.50.

Shade, Ornamental Trees and Hedge Plants

HOW TO PLANT TREES

Preparation of the Roots — Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up
to the sound wood. This prevents their decaying and hastens the emission of
roots and fibers.

Preparation of the Top — This consists in cutting back the top and side
branches in such a way as to correspond with the more or less mutilated roots,
as follows:

Trees with branching heads should have the small branches cut clean out and
the larger ones, intended for the framework of the trees, cut to within two or
three buds of their bases.

In cases where there is abundant root, and small tops or few branches, the
pruning need be very light, but where the roots are small and the tops heavy,
severe pruning will be necessary.

These remarks are applicable to all deciduous Trees and Shrubs. Evergreens
seldom require pruning, but Arborvitae and other Evergreens planted in hedge-
rows may be advantageously shorn immediately after planting.

Silver-Leaved Maple — A hardy and rapid-growing tree of large size ; valuable
for producing quick shade. Excellent for yard or street planting ; does not throw
up sprouts from roots. Nice trees, 12 feet high, guaranteed to grow, $1.00 each.
Smaller trees, 50c to 75c each. i

Magnolia Grand — Too well known to need description. Spring is the best and
safest time for planting. This makes it absolutely safe in transplanting. Price,
open ground plants, $1.00 each, 2 and 2% feet high.

Ligustrum Amurense (Amoor River Privet) — The true variety. This far sur-
passes any other evergreen privet. It does well in many sections of the North
and East. For the South it is far superior to the California Privet, which loses
its leaves during winter, whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its bright green
foliage. Strong plants, 24 to 30 inches, 10c each; $1.00 per doz.; $5.00 per 100;
$40.00 per 1000. A fine lot of small plants, 12 to 15 inches tall, branched, $2.50
per 100.
