THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
THE BEST WAY TO GROW BULBS INDOORS
Plant Hyacinths in sandy soil, or make the soil
porous with leaf mold secured from the woods. Plant
the bulb bottom down, and push the bulb tight in
the soil so that the top of the bulb is even with top
of soil. Use old four or five-inch pots — never new
pots if you can avoid it. There are shallow, wide
pots, made to hold three or more bulbs; they are
satisfactory to plant in where only one variety is
planted in a pot. Never feed the bulbs with ma-
nure— the power to flower is in the bulb. A Hya-
cinth grown in water alone proves the truth of
this. Give a good soaking after planting, and water
once or twice a week if necessary during the time
the bulb makes roots. Put the pots after plant-
ing— which should be done during September or
October — in the ground, and cover the pot and all
to the depth of three or four inches with soil. This
is to prevent the roots from lifting the bulbs out
of the pot. Or you can put them in the cellar
where it is cool and dark. The idea is to have the
bulbs kept cool and dark, so that the roots will
start before the tops do. Cover up the ones outside
with leaves or sawdust to the depth of six inches,
as frost, if it reaches them, almost always results
in injury to the flowers. After four weeks or so
examine the roots, and see if they are down to the
bottom of the pot; then bring the ones you want
to flower early into a dark place where the tem-
perature is from fifty to seventy, but keep them
dark by covering them up or placing them in a
dark cupboard. They can be left outdoors or in
the cellar if you do not want them so early, until
the sprout is as long as a man’s finger. This brings
them in later, but is the surest way to get fine
flowers, as it is more natural than to force them
quickly. When the sprouts have reached the length
of a man’s finger they may then be exposed to the
light. If brought to the light sooner the result will
be that the top bells will open first, and then the
flower is spoiled, for the top bells will be faded be-
fore the lower bells open. The sprouts are yellow
by keeping them covered, but that does not matter,
as they turn green quickly when brought to the
light.
Tulips and Narcissus are treated the same as
Hyacinths, except that when brought in from out-
doors or the cellar they can be placed in the full
light at once. Instead of pots you can use grape
baskets.

Choice Collection of “FANCY” HYACINTHS
In this collection we place all the high-priced varieties.
There is such a demand for them in Europe, where they are
well acquainted with , the good sorts, that the demand ex-
ceeds the supply, and they are always scarce and hard to
get. When you have the following twelve Hyacinths in your
possession, you have the very best that money can buy. They
are every one gems of the first water.
PRICE — 20 cents each, or the set of twelve for $1.75. Any
six for $1.00.
In ordering, say “Fancy” Collection of Hyacinths. They
are the largest, the most delicately colored and the most fra-
grant of all Hyacinths.
BIRD OF PARADISE — The spike is the largest of all yellow
Hyacinths. The color is a rich deep golden-yellow. Very
pure. No other yellow Hyacinth approaches it in either
color or size.
CZAR PETER — This is without question the finest of all
light blue Hyacinths. The truss is very large and solid.
The color is a delicate sky-blue. This Hyacinth is admired
more than any other variety of any color in Holland.
Simply grand.
ENCHANTRESS — Do not forget that the porcelain-blue color
in Hyacinths is the most admired and in greatest demand.
This is a delicate porcelain-blue color. Extra fine.
GRAND 3IAITRE, “Good Master” — Deep porcelain-blue; one
of the grandest of all blue Hyacinths. Much prized in
Holland.
KING OF THE BLUES — This is the richest and most elegant
of the dark blue Hyacinths; it is so dark that the texture
of the flower seems covered with a rich sheen of velvet
almost black. Exquisite.
LiA GRANDESSE — This variety deserves the name of Grand-
ness. Splendid, immense spikes of large pure ivory bells,
waxy in appearance, vying with the snow in purity, while
its fragrance is delicious, yet penetrating. Siniply exquisite.
The best of all whites. Extra fine. Immaculate in color.
LA VICTOIRE — This is a bright red Hyacinth of the greatest
merit. The color is a rich, even shade of bright red. Superb.
LADY DERBY — This is said by all who have seen
it to be the best dark rose-colored Hyacinth yet
offered. The florets are extra large. Spike solid
and compact and of immense size, and the fra-
grance is delicious. The color is a rich, deep
rose, very bright and distinct. Elegant.
SIR WILLIAM MANSFIELD — This is the rare color
in Hyacinths, being a most beautiful shade of
lilac or violet. When you see this in flower you
will always remember it.
KING OF THE BELGIANS, “Roi des Beiges” — So
many persons complain that they never get a
bright red Hyacinth. The color of this grand va-
riety is a rich, glossy ruby-red of the brightest
hue. Certainly a gem.
Fancy Hyacinths.
QUEEN OF THE BLUES — In Holland the delicate
blue Hyacinths take precedence over all other
colors, and the blue varieties in this collection
cost much more than any other color. With Czar
Peter this variety is a sure enough rival. It does
not conflict with any of the other blues in this
collection, being entirely distinct, a delicate
porcelain-blue, a color that is extremely rare in
flowers of any kind. Extra fine.
MINNIE, “Miini” — A lovely shade of blush-white.
This is one of the new varieties and takes rank
in Holland among the ten best varieties. It
sometimes comes with a very delicate tracing of
pink that sets off its charms to great advantage.
Hard to beat.
REMEMBER that the foregoing Twelve Hyacinths are the very best in cultivation. Get them, and you
have the best.
Roman Hyacinths.
Five Beautiful
ROMAN HYACINTHS
We wish to call special attention to these beautiful Roman Hyacinths,
which are so valuable for early winter blooming. They are among the
few flowers which can be had as early as Christmas and New Years. Each
bulb throws up several spikes of flowers, which are very beautiful and
fragrant, and when kept in a cool room will keep perfectly for weeks.
Three can be planted in a four or five-inch pot, and will soon be in flower.
In the garden they are the first of all Hyacinths to bloom. We offer ex-
tra large bulbs. The new double ones are exceedingly fine. Do not fail
to plant a good lot of them for winter.
CANARY YELLOW — Few Novelties have come out recently which will in
importance surpass this new yellow Roman Hyacinth. There is nothing
to be said of it except it is like the common Roman white, except in
color, which is a lovely shade of light yellow. 5 cents each; six for 25
cents; thirteen for 50 cents.
PINK — A grand new sort with enormous bright deep bells in large spikes.
5 cents each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents.
RED — A beautiful shade of deep red, very bright and penetrating. 5
cents each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents.
BLUE — Lovely light blue, a fine contrast to the white variety. 5 cents
each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents.
WHITE — Has elegant waxy-white bells of great beauty and fragrance.
Large bulbs, 5 cents each; six for 25 cents; thirteen for 50 cents.
cents we will
send one bulb of each of
these five Roman Hyacinths; three of each for 60 cents.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
^‘Grand” Collection of Single Hyacinths
We advise all our friends to plant Single
Hyacinths, as the spikes are very much larger,
and the individual florets much larger and
more compact, while the fragrance is much
sweeter than in double varieties. In a word,
they are much showier and grander in every
respect. Price, 10 cents each; tlie set of
twelve for $1.00. Two sets for $1.75. Any
six for 50 cents. A fine collection of Hya-
cinths at moderate cost. In orderinng, say
“Grand” Collection of Hyacinths.
CARDINAL. WISEMAN — If there is one Hya-
cinth that will instantly attract attention,
it is this one. A beautiful silvery-rose
color.
GRAND LILAS — Immense spikes and mam-
moth florets. Probably the largest of all
Hyacinths, and is another of those delicate
blues, the color that fairly entrances you.
A variety that is deservedly popular every-
where. Superb.
GARIBALDI — So many people are looking for a
red Hyacinth. Garibaldi is a rich dark yuby-red.
Very showy and attractive.
GENERAL DE W^ET — This is known in Holland as
the “Pink Grand Master.” It certainly is a most
wondrous beautiful bright shade of silvery-pink.
INNOCENCE — A lovely shade pf creamy- white.
This is one of the new varieties, and takes rank
in Holland among the ten best varieties. It some-
times comes with very delicate tracings of pink
that set off its charms to great advantage. Su-
perb.
KOH-I-NOOR — This charming variety is so brilliant
as to be named for the great diamond of that
name. A very showy red Hyacinth.
LORD BALFOUR — A grand large spike bearing im-
mense bells of a deep violet color.
Bed of Single Dutch Hyacinths.
aiORENO — This is said by all who have seen it to
be the very best rich crimson Hyacinth yet of-
fered. The florets are extra large, spikes solid
and compact and of immense size, and the fra-
grance is delicious. The color is a dazzling,
sparkling red, very bright and distinct; elegant.
MR. PLIMSOLL — This is a very attractive Hyacinth,
bearing immense spikes of pure white with a del-
icate blush.
PINK BEAUTY “Charles Dickens” — Large, tall
spike, very shapely bells of the largest size. This
well deserves the name of Pink Beauty, as it is
the flnest of all pink Hyacinths. Extra.
Q,UEEN WILHELMINA — Most vivid rosy pink. Ex-
ceedingly big and elegant truss of a peculiar
shade of pink. Very early and splendid for cut-
ting. We very strongly recommend planting this.
YELLOW HAMMER — Deep golden-yellow. A very
refined and chaste color.
“Popular” Collection of Hyacinths
Price, 10 cents each; the twelve for 90 cents; any six for 50 cents.
ALBERTINA, “Augusta” — Pure white, extra fine.
CHARLES DICKENS — A grand shade of bright blue.

flowers.

Hyacinths; often has two to four spikes of bloom;
a lovely deep pink color.

forcer. The richest red of all the Hyacinths.

beautiful large compact spike. A very handsome
and showy variety.
MARY — Immense spikes of rich dark blue.
MADAME VAN DER HOOP — Pure white; immacu-
late in color.
The Grape Hyacinth — Improved
This charniing little gem should be found in every garden in abundance. It has been termed the
“Blue Lily of the Valley,” and when planted in a mass with that sweet flower it does resemble it to some
extent, and forms a most fascinating combination. It grows about the same height, and blooms about
the same time each spring. It increases rapidly, and when once planted a mass of beautiful blossoms,
which will increase each year, is insured for a lifetime. But for winter blooming in pots it is of the
greatest value. Plant five or six bulbs in a five-inch pot, and you will have as lovely a pot of bloom as
you can imagine. Words fail to do it justice. Flower
stems grow a foot in height, bearing a dense spike of
sky-blue bells tipped with white, and oh! so lovely.
Please remember that ours is an improved strain of
Grape Hyacinths, much superior to the old form.
IMPROVED BLUE — Three for 5 cents; 12 for 15c.
SNOW WHITE — New and scarce. 2c each; 6 for lOc;
12 for ISc.
AZUREUS — Deep blue; blooms out of doors in Feb-
ruary; earliest of all spring bulbs. 3 cents each; 6 for
15 cents; 12 for 25 cents.
The Feathered Hyacinths
A very pretty and curious species of Hyacinths, the
flowers of which are a feathered plume, borne on the
end of a large spike. It is perfectly hardy, and is par-
ticularly adapted for open ground planting and for in-
door culture. Price, 3 cents each; ten for 25 cents.
CHAMPION CITY GREENHOUSES, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 7
Mixed Hyacinths for Bedding Out in the Fall
These mixed Hyacinths are used almost exclusively for bedding- out in the fall on account of their
cheapness. They are just as good colors and just as fragrant as the named varieties; the difference is in
the cost of keeping the named sorts separate, both while planting and after they are dug. The exact
shades cannot be given, but the general outline of colors are kept separate, so that in ordering you
know what color you are buying.

These Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and varied colors, shades and markings, and being
double, the flowers last much longer in bloom than single varieties and in consequence when singles
and doubles are planted in conjunction the “time of the Tulips” is greatly prolonged. Double Tulips are
beautifully adapted for beds on the lawn, in the garden, and for mingling in clumps of half a dozen
or more around the edge of shrubbery. They are robust growers and exceedingly effective. The early
sorts do splendidly when grown in pots for winter blooming, but must be forced much slower than Sin-
gle Early Tulips, by keeping them cooler. Price, 3 cents each, or the set of 24 distinct kinds of Double
Early Tulips for 65 cents. Those preceded with a star are the best varieties for forcing indoors.

EARLY FLOWERING SINGLE TULIPS
Those marked with a Star are the best for forcing in the house, but all Tulips are fine for garden culture.
Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to expatiate upon their merits here.
Their ease of culture, combined with beauty of form and gorgeous coloring, render them the most pop-
ular bulbs grown for spring bedding, and for winter flowering in the greenhouse and window garden
they are incomparable. The Tulip is extremely hardy and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the
shade as in the sunshine and producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more fa-
vored place. Double and Single Tulips, when associated together and planted in front of shrubs, main-
tain a longer display than if either are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds must be
kept gay from the earliest day of spring, plant between the lines of Tulips, Scilla Sibirica, Chionodoxa
Luciliae, Snowdrops or Crocus, and as these flower first they can be removed or cut down when the
Tulip is coming into bloom. The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate and attractive
colors than any other selection of spring flowering bulbs. The Single Tulip is extensively grown for
indoor decorations, three or five bulbs in a pot.
Price, 4 cents each, any 15 for 50 cents; the set of 42 distinct varieties of Early Single Tulips for $1.25.

able for window garden, conservatory or garden,
continuing long in bloom. They have tall spikes

white petals and gold cup of some varieties, the yel-
low with the orange cup of others, and the self
whites and yellows, render them great favorites.
NOTE — Polyanthus Narcissus, although not con-
sidered hardy, have lived out for two winters in the
vicinity of Boston with a slight covering of straw
and leaves, producing much larger flowers, and more
of them, than when grown in the house in pots.

fine. A gem for cutting. 6c each; 65c per doz.

The Chinese Sacred or Oriental Narcissus
A VARIETY OP POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS
The “Shui Sin Par,” or Water Fairy Flower, Joss
Flower, or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is called
by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, bearing
in lavish profusion chaste flowers of silvery-white
with golden-yellow cups. -They are of exquisite
beauty and entrancing perfume. It is grown by the
Chinese according to their ancient custom to herald
the advent of their new year and as a symbol of
good luck. The bulbs are grown by a method
known only to themselves, whereby they attain
great size and vitality, insuring luxurious growth
and immense spikes of flowers. In fact, the incred-
^ ibly short time required to bring the bulbs into
bloom (four to six weeks after planting) is one of
the wonders of nature. “You can aimost see them
grow,” succeeding almost everywhere with every-
body. They do well in pots of earth, but are more
novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of
water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them
from toppling over when in bioom. A dozen bulbs
started at intervals will give a succession of flow-
ers throughout the winter. We are importing di-
rect from China immense bulbs of the true large-
flowering variety. Price, 20c each; three for 50c.
GIANT GOLDEN SACRED LILY
(Jonquil Campernelle Regulosiis)
The flowers of this beautiful Sacred Lily are al-
most identical with the Chinese variety, except that
they are of the most lovely shade of deep golden-
yellow, making a fine contrast with the white
bloom of that noted kind. The buibs are not nearly
so large, but the trusses of flowers are of good size,
making this a charming bulb for house culture.
Grows in water, like the old variety. Price, 3 cents
each, six for 15 cents, 25 cents per dozen.
TRY A DOZEN AND BE DELIGHTED.
JONQUILS
Much prized for their charming large golden and
deliciously sweet-scented flowers, perfectly hardy
and flowering very eariy in the spring; also ad-
mirably adapted for winter flowering in the house —

“The fairest of all thing's that blossom and grow,
Sweet as the summer and pure as the snow,
Is the Lily that tells.
Like the glad Easter Bells,
Once more the sweet story which all hearts should
know.”
Lilium Giganteum
The True Bermuda Easter Lily,
This peerless Lily is the greatest acquisition to
floriculture made in many years. Their profusion
of bloom, the remarkably short time required to
bring them into flower, and the certainty to produce
abundant bloom, and also the ease with which they
can be manipulated to be flowered at any desired
period, such as Christmas, Easter, and other special
occasions, make them invaluable. Flowers are de-
lightfully fragrant, pure waxy white, of great sub-
stance, and if cut as soon as they are open or par-
tially open they can be kept for two weeks. A
short time only is required to bring them into
bloom. Bulbs potted in August can be had in flow-
er in November if desired. A succession of bloom
can be kept up from November to May by bringing
the pots of rooted bulbs in from cold frames at in-
tervals during the winter. The quantity of bloom
produced is marvelous. Blooming plants in pots
form typical Easter offerings and presents, for dec-
oration of window, table, house or church. As a
garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely
hardy except in Northern climates, where it re-
quires a protection of leaves or litter to the depth
of five or six inches. Price, 20c each; three for 50c.
Lilium Candidum
The old-fashioned pure white garden Lily, also
known as Easter Lily, or Annunciation Lily. One
of the hardiest. Flowers snow-white, with heavy
yellow stamens and sweetest fragrance. It bears
from five to twenty blossoms. This is the most
decided variety we have in expressing its prefer-
ence for a planting time. It must be planted in the
early autumn to succeed well, as it makes its leaf
growth at once after planting, and prepares itself
for early flowering. The bulbs are sometimes kept
in cold storage for spring sales, but never do quite
so well. Customers will do well to plant a bed of
twenty-five or more for a permanent bed or border.
Price, 20 cents each; three bulbs for 50 cents; $1.75
per dozen.
Lily of the Valley (CouTallaria).
Lilium Auratum (Gold Banded Lily).
Lilium Auratum
The Gold-Banded Lily of Japan.
This is the highest type of flowering bulbous
plants. The most beautiful and fragrant of all our
list. The flowers are of immense size, being fully
twice as large as those of almost any other Lily.
The new bulbs are brought from Japan for us each
year, and only such will give best results. They
are shipped to us wrapped i^ a ball of clay, and
arrive plump and sound, every one ready to bloom.
Fine bulbs, 25 cents each; three for 60 cents; $2.50
per dozen, postpaid,

A GREAT OFFER
The set of seven lovely Lilies on this page, all

Lily of the Valley
The modest bell-shaped flowers, of the purest
white, are highly prized for cutting purposes, and
for flowering in pots in winter they are exceedingly
well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting orna-
mental designs for the parlor or conservatory may
be produced by planting Lily crowns in Crocus pots
or in pyramidal pots made especially for this pur-
pose and pierced with holes. They will last several
weeks in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a
succession of different designs may be kept up all
winter. They are also forced in immense quantities
by florists, but they are the most charming when
grown in large patches in partially shaded locali-
ties around the lawn, near the borders of streams,
lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. Price, 3 cents
each; 30 cents per dozen.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
Winter Blooming Freesias
Freesia Refracta Alba.
FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA — No description can
do adequate justice to this beautiful plant. The flow-
ers are two inches long and about the same in width,
shaped like miniature Gladioli, and borne in clus-
ters of six to ten on depressed horizontal scapes.
The body of the flower is pure white, with lower
segments spotted lemon-yellow. The perfume is
most delicious, being a mixture of Mignonette, Vio-
let and Jasmine, and one plant is sufficient to per-
fume a large room without the overbearing per-
fume of Hyacinths or Tuberoses. The plant has
tooth-shaped bulbs and flat, spreading leaves. Its
cultivation is the simplest, requiring only to be
potted in October, to be watered sparingly at first,
placed in a sunny window, and watered more as
growth progresses. When out of flower, store in
some place, and repot at proper season in fresh
soil for another year’s growth. Six fine selected
bulbs for 15 cents; twelve for 25 cents,
Triteleia Uniflora
This is one of the choicest additions to winter-
flowering bulbs that has been offered in many
years. The bulbs are small, and several can be
planted in a pot, each one of which will send up
several flower scapes, bearing star-shaped blossoms
one inch in diameter, pure white, elegantly lined
with celestial blue. As the flowers follow each
other successively and last a long time before fad-
ing, a pot of these bulbs is never without flowers
for several months in mid-winter. They are also
quite hardy, and can be planted in the open ground,
where they will bloom elegantly in the early
spring. We earnestly advise all lovers of flowers
to plant this beautiful gem. It is sure to thrive.
Fine bulbs, 10 cents per dozen.
Triteleia Laxa
This is a new variety, bearing ten flowers to the
stalk instead of one flower like the Uniflora. Ele-
gant. Be sure to try it. 20 cents per dozen.

STAR HYACINTH— -Scilla Sibirica is one of the
loveliest spring flowers. It has color almost as

in pots and kept indoors it may be had in bloom
as early as Christmas. Its magniflcent flowers

Ornithogalum Arabicum
We introduce this as a new winter-blooming bulb
of great beauty and value. In magniflcence there
is nothing like it among winter-blooming bulbs or
plants. Even the grand Hyacinth must be pre-
ceded by the stately beauty of this flower. It is a
native of Arabia. Bulb large and solid, closely re-
sembling that of a Hyacinth, and requiring exactly
the same culture. Leaves long and narrow, flower
spikes 18 to 24 inches high, strong and graceful,
bearing immense clusters of large pearly-white
flowers with jet-black center. The individual flow-
ers keep perfect many weeks before fading, so that
for more than a month this grand spike of bloom is
in full glory. Its durability is almost without an
equal among flowers. Add to this its delicate aro-
matic fragrance, and we have a winter-bloomer
which all must admit stands without a rival. Its
culture is the easiest, as it will grow in any posi-
tion in any window. A bulb can be planted in any
four-inch pot, or several in a large pot or box. Pot
in September, October or November. They can be
kept and planted as late as February 1. For open
ground culture they do well if protected from
freezing severely. Large-fiowering bulbs, 5 cents;
six for 25 cents.
Ixias
The Ixias produce their beautiful flowers in
spikes, and are of* the most dazzling and brilliant
colors, and sure to attract great attention. It is
only a few years that they have been grown in this
country to any great extent, but in that time, like
the Freesias, they have become very popular. For
pot culture in the house they give great satisfac-
tion, being of easy culture and free bloomers. Half
a dozen bulbs can be planted in a five-inch pot, and
the display is magnificent. For open ground cul-
ture give them winter protection with leaves or
straw. They are very cheap, and all lovers of odd
and beautiful flowers should certainly add them to
their collection. The sorts we offer are new and
very fine. Price, 10 cents per dozen. ,

Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis
An Unrivaled Winter-Flowering Pot Plant.
This is one of the finest winter-flowering plants
for pot culture that we have ever seen. It is such
a strong, luxuriant grower that one bulb will be
sufficient for a six or eight-inch pot. Place in a
dark, cool position for a few weeks to root thor-
oughly, and remove to a sunny situation in the
window or conservatory, in a temperature of about
60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the great profusion of
blooms produced in uninterrupted abundance for
weeks will astonish and delight you. Flowers of
the purest bright buttercup-yellow. Well grown
plants have produced 'as high as seventy flower
stems at one time, and over one thousand plants in
one season. The flowers, and frequently the leaves,
fold up at night and open again the next morning;
but when grown in a partially shaded situation the
flowers remain open all the time. Properly treated,
the plants will flower in six weeks from the time
the bulbs are planted. We do not claim the Ber-
muda Buttercup Oxalis to be a strictly new plant,
but a greatly improved selection from Oxalis Cer-
nua, grown in the congenial soil and climate of
Bermuda until the bulbs have attained great
strength, producing bulbs, plants and flowers larg-
er and more luxuriant in all parts than the type.
Excels all bulbous plants in profusion of bloom. It

The Good & Reese Co.: — Just two years ago, no- ■
ticing an advertisement in the “Household Journal” >
and an article on Rose culture, by Mrs. Jessie Good, |
in which I was very much interested, I gave you an j
order for a specially advertised selection of 12 j
Roses for $1.00. '
I knew that you advocated the planting of small
stock, nevertheless I was surprised when the pack- |
age reached me and I found it to be only 8 inches i
long and 1% inches in diameter, for the whole 12 1
plants. Nevertheless, I was not discouraged or dis- j
satisfied, but planted them according to directions,
and within two months they were a wonder. They ji
bloomed that same spring, and all through the
summer and fall. Before winter none of the bushes
were less than 18 inches high; some much larger.

The wonderful improvement made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants has
brought them into renewed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the flnest Roses in size, form
and color, are produced in great abundance. After once being planted they require little care and at-
tention, thrive anywhere, and are absolutely hardy even in the coldest climates; each year after plant-
ing they grow into greater value, producing more and more flowers. They are not troubled with insect
pests. Try some of our flne Peonies, and see what grand flowers they are. Get it out of your head that
there are only Red, White and Pink Peonies to illustrate at flowering time. People who visit our field
will say, “I have Pink and White Peonies. I desire only Red ones,” but when they are shown che Pink
and White, they invariably exclaim, ‘‘How grand! I have none like them.” There is as much difference
in Peonies as there is in Roses.

HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOX
This is one of the most easily grown hardy perennials, and the large number of beautiful varieties
now offered make it especially desirable. These noble flowers are not only beautiful as individuals,
but the cheerful appearance of our gardens during the summer and autumn months is much in-
debted to them. They succeed in any position or soil, and can be used to advantage either as single
specimens in the mixed border or as large clumps or beds on the lawn. To produce the best results how-
ever, they should have a rich, deep and rather moist soil, and let each clump have a space of from two to
three feet in which to develop. They will continue to thrive for several years with little attention, as
is attested by the fine clumps about old homesteads. The ease with which they are cultivated their en-
tire hardiness and the extended time of blooming, combined with the varied and beautiful coloring, make
them especially valuable for garden planting. The Perennial Phlox usually commence to bloom in early
summer, and are brilliant with color until after several frosts have come. They are admirably adapted
for cemetery planting, also for a low hedge or screen to hide old fences and unsightly objects. Do not fail
to plant Phlox in the fall, any time from September until the ground is frozen. Price, 10 cents each;
three for 25 ce«its; seven for 50 cents; fourteen for $1.00. The entire set of thirty-one distinct standard
varieties of Hardy Phlox for $2.00.

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE FERNS
To Cheer Your Home During Winter
There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative
Ferns. They are easily grown, free from insects and disease, and thrive well in the ordinary temperature
- of the living room. See that the plants have plenty of drainage and are kept well watered; never let dry
out for any length of time. Every one of these Nephrolepis Perns is entirely distinct in every way. That
we are headquarters for Perns is evidenced by the choice assortment that we offer. No other firm offers
so many distinct and choice varieties. Try us for Ferns.
THE “WANNAMAKER FERN,” Nephrolepis John
Wannamaker — A new Fern of wonderful beauty.
Long, narrow, gracefully drooping fronds. It is
not so compact as Scholzeli, and therefore is a
very airy and graceful Pern, and very durable in
the house. A rapid grower; quite distinct from
other ferns. Pine young plants, 25 cents; strong
plants, 75 cents.
THE “BIG POUR FERN,” Nephrolepis Splendida —
This is the most wonderful Fern of them all; it
originated with G. & R., and is now offered for
the first time. It combines the good qualities of
the four most popular sorts. It has the grace of
a “Boston,” the wavy effect of a “Roosevelt,” the
fluffy effect of an “Ostrich Plume,” and the
uniqueness of a “Fish Tail.” Some fronds will
be straight “Boston,” others will be true “Roose-
velt.” in others the ends of the pinnae will be the
feathery “Ostrich Plume,” while in others the
ends of the pinnae will be the genuine “Fish
Tail.” Then again some fronds will have in a
marked degree all of these desirable traits, form-
ing a combination without parallel among Ferns.
It well deserves the name of “Big Four Pern.”
Everyone who sees it goes “daffy” about it. This
is without question the most splendid of all the
Nephrolepis. Be sure and try it. Fine young
plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
Fronds of the “Roosevelt Fern.”
THE “ROOSEVELT PERN,” Nephrolepis Roosevelt
— It is our good fortune and great pleasure to
offer this wonderful new Fern, having introduced
it in 1910. In this short time it stands second in
popularity of all the Ferns, and will soon be more
popular than even the old favorite Boston Fern,
In general characteristics it resembles the world-
famous Boston Pern, but it will sweep that Pern
from the boards for two reasons; it produces
many more fronds than the Boston, thus making
a bushier, handsomer plant; then the pinnae are
beautifully undulated, giving the “Roosevelt” a
pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern;
as the plant ages this effect becomes quite dis-
tinct. A charming and most notable variety.
Pine young plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50
cents.
THE “PHILADELPHIA LACE FERN,” Nephrolepis
Elegantissima — The small size pinnae, or leaflets,
are subdivided into perfect miniature fronds; the
side pinnae stand at right angles to the midrib
of the fronds, on edge instead of flat, giving both
sides of the main frond the same beautiful ap-
pearance. It is impossible to conceive of the
beauty and grace of this wonderful Pern from
description. Fine young plants, 1.5 cents; strong-
plants, 50 cents.
“Teddy Junior” Fern.
•THE “TEDDY JUNIOR FERN,” Nephrolepis Teddy
Junior — “Teddy Junior,” the Pern for every house-
hold. This grand Pern was introduced the past
spring by G. & R. The fronds are broad and
beautifully tapered from base to tip; they droop
just enough to make a shapely, graceful plant,
permitting it to finish with a fine full center and
perfect symmetrical spread. The pinnae are dis-
tinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive
wavy appearance, which adds materially to their
charming decorative effect. “Teddy Junior” will
produce about four times more fronds than any
other Pern ever_ introduced, finishing with fifty
to sixty fronds in a four-inch pot. Fine young
plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
THE “GOLD MEDAL FERN,” Nephrolepis Piersonii
— This Fern received a gold medal from the So-
ciety of American Florists and Ornamental Horti-
culturists, and is the only gold medal ever
awarded by them for any plant whatsoever. An
entirely new form of the Boston Fern. Thd pin-
nae subdivide, making miniature fronds which
are superimposed on the main fronds, looking as
if two or even three were condensed into one,
giving the plant a graceful, feathery and plumy
effect. Fine young plants, 15 cents; strong plants,
50 cents.
THE “CRESTED FERN,” Nephrolepis Scholzeli —
The fronds are crested and stand erect, with a
graceful arch, forming a plant of ideal shape, ^nd
they never break down, giving the plant a ragged
appearance, as is so often the case with other
plumed forms; furthermore, the loose, elegant
arrangement of the fronds, allowing a free cir-
culation of air through the foliage, prevents the
center of even the largest specimen from becom-
ing defective or yellow. The smallest salable
plants perfectly express the type, and in every
size are models of beauty for table decorations.
Fine young plants, 15 cents; large plants, 50
cents.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
THE “OSTRICH PL.UME FERN,” Nephrolepis Whit-
manii — A great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that
appeals to everyone, and on that account will
prove a much more valuable and profitable plant
than other Ferns of this class. Everyone who
has seen it is charmed with it. As someone has
expressed it, “There is nothing like the Ostrich
Plume Fern in cultivation. In decorative effect
it so far outdistances the original variety that
there is positively no comparison to be made.
We consider it the most valuable novelty that
has been introduced in many, many years.” It
has taken gold medals wherever shown. Pine
young plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
THE “NEWPORT FERN,” Nephrolepis Seotti — Of
much dwarfer and bushier growth than the Bos-
ton Fern. The fronds droop gracefully, and are
not as long and heavy as the Boston. It is a
rapid grower, and to see it in all stages of growth
from a runner in the bench to a fourteen-inch
pot specimen will convince you that it will be in
great demand as a house Fern. This has always
been a favorite variety. Pine young plants, 15
cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
THE “FLUFFY RUFFLES FERN,” Nephrolepis
Superbissima — This new Fern is ' quite different
from all other Ferns. Its distinguishing char-
acteristics are its dark green foliage, darker than
any other Fern, its dense growth, much more
compact, and its irregular shaped fronds, which
give it the name of “Fluffy Ruffles Fern.” The
fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae
overlapping, and are so formed as to resemble
miniature Ferns, giving it the appearance of a
Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy
in its habit and the fronds firm and rigid, never
break down, so that it will stand more knocking
around than any other Fern. Fine young plants,
25 cents; strong plants, 75 cents.
THE “PISH TAIL PERN,” Nephrolepis Davallioides
Furcans — This is a grand Fern entirely distinct
from any of the other varieties of Nephrolepis.
Throughout the South and especially at New
Orleans this Fern takes precedence over all
others. The ends of the pinnae are so formed as
to resemble a fish tail, giving the fronds a crested
appearance, very effective. It grows into the
most shapely plant of any of the Nephrolepis.
Grand for house culture. Fine young plants, 20
cents; strong plants, 60 cents.
THE “BABY’S BREATH FERN,” Nephrolepis
Goodii — This has the finest foliage of all the
Ferns. It is so delicate that a lady on seeing it
exclaimed, “Call it the Baby’s Breath Fern, as it
is so dainty in texture that a baby’s breath
would set its fluffy foliage in motion.” The
fronds are very fine and filmy, on which account
it has been called by some the Lace Fern. It is
an improved variety and the best of its type.
Nothing is daintier or more exquisite than well-
grown specimens in any size. Our reputation
for it that no Fern in existence can compare
with “Baby’s Breath” in fluffiness. Pine young
plants, 20 cents; strong plants, 60 cents.
THE “BOSTON FERN,” Nephrolepis Bostoniensis—
In the vicinity of Boston, no other plant is so
extensively used as this graceful Nephrolepis,
which differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in
having much longer fronds, which frequently at-
tain a length of six feet. These arch and droop
over very gracefully, on account of which it is
frequently called the Fountain Fern. This droop-
ing habit makes it an excellent plant to grow as
a single specimen on a table or pedestal. This
Fern should not be compared to the Ostrich
Plume Fern, as they are of an entirely different
growth; both have their place and both are beau-
tiful and desirable. Fine young plants, 15 cents;
strong plants, 50 cents.
THE “PARLOR FERN,” Nephrolepis Whitmanii
Compacta — This is a condensed form of the
“Ostrich Plume” Pern, with valuable character-
istics added which are not evident in the parent,
the pinnae subdividing, making miniature fronds
which are superimposed on the main fronds,
looking as if two or more were condensed into
one. Graceful beyond description. Pine young
plants, 15 cents; strong plants, 50 cents.
THE “OLD ORIGINAL SWORD FERN,” Nephrolepis
Exaltata — This is the “old original Sword Fern,”
the “daddy” of them all, the one plant from
which all the Nephrolepis we offer sprang. It is
entirely different from any of its progeny, having
narrow fronds that are long and of very erect
growth. For this reason it is more largely used
as a centerpiece in vases than are any of its
descendants. Fine young plants, 15 cents; strong
plants, 50 cents.
Cpr A ¥ The Fifteen Beautiful Ferns as named, costing $2.55, for $2.25. The
1— I kJx r Fifteen Perns in strong plants, coslting $8.20, for $7.50.

mental.

and useful variegated variety, with silver mark-
ings.

Fern, suitable for table dishes.

BRITISH QUEEN (H. T.) —
We quote the introducer’s
description: “Experts who
have seen British Queen
growing, agree that it is
the finest white Rose in
existence, surpassing in
beauty and elegance of
form all other white varie-
ties. The freedom with
which it blooms is remark-
able. It is in flower frorn
June until winter, and on
well cultivated plants the
blooms are a model of per-
fection. Frequently in the
bud state it shows a slight
flush; this disappears as
the flower opens into purest
whiteness. It is a good
grower and sweetly scented.
Awarded a gold medal by the National Rose So-
ciety of England. Those who have had the
pleasure to see this magnificent Rose blooming
at Portsdown will never forget the sight. 20
cents each; 2-year plants, 50 cents,
CHRISSIE MACKELLAR (H. T.)— A gorgeously
beautiful Rose, combining in charming combina-
tion the following tones, tints and colors: Crim-
son-carmine, deep rich ochery-madder, becoming
a delicate but bright orangey-pink as the flower
develops. It is one of the most delightfully color-
toned Roses we have had the pleasure of seeing.
It is strongly and deliciously pure primrose-tea
scented. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
COLLEEN (H. T.) — Brilliant rose, shaded rose-
pink with deeper rose-crimson veneering and dis-
tinct creamy-yellow ground, never fading until

enormous petals and high pointed center, forming
the noblest and most remarkable flower among
Roses. Very free-blooming and smooth. Gold
medal Rose of the National Rose Society of Eng-
land, 1913. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 60 cents.
iDORA (H. T.) — Large, full flowers of a beautiful
peach blossom color, with deeper center, chang-
ing to silvery-blush as the flowers expand. Very
free-flowering. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
EDGAR M. BURNETT (H. T.) — Very large, full
flowers of fine shape and form, with large flesh
petals tinted rose. Said to be a great improve-
ment on La France, and may be regarded as an
advance on the type of Lady Alice Stanley; un-
doubtedly the sweetest scented Rose in existence.
35 cents; 2-year plants, 75 cents.
EDWARD MAWLEY (H. T.) — By its marvelous out-
standing qualities is now regarded by rosarians
as the greatest advance and most wonderful Rose
yet raised. We have no hesitancy in saying that
it is the finest of all dark crimson Roses. A true
perpetual-flowering Hybrid Tea and the most
beautiful variety the Rose world has yet seen.
This Rose was raised by McGredy, of Ireland,
and named in honor of Edward Mawley, the
eminent British rosariafi. It received the much
coveted gold medal of the National Rose Society
of England. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 40 cents.
EUGENE BOULLET (H. T.) — We were greatly
pleased with the promise of this Rose last year,
and are now fully decided as to its value as a red
bedder. It is easily suited as to soil and position,
and produces flowers in great abundance. The
blooms are large and full, of subsantial form and
texture. We fully expect this variety to rank at
the very top of red garden Roses for massing.
Color deep crimson and carmine. A sheet of gor-
geous color. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 40 cents.
Francis Scott Key.
FARBENKONIGIN (Queen of
Colors) (H. T.) — This is
well named the Queen of
Colors; our own personal
opinion is that there is no
finer Rose grown than this
beautiful sort. It is large
and full; color bright car-
m i n e and rosy-crimson,
overlaid with a satiny-sil-
ver sheen. Very floriferous.
Simply grand. Here is an-
other Rose that will bear
an acquaintance. All Eu-
rope knows this Rose, while
but few in America have
even heard of it. 25 cents;
2-year plants, 50 cents.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (H.
T. ) — It is very fitting that
such a fine new Rose should
be honored with the name
of the author of the “Star
Spangled Banner,’’ and also
that it should hail from
Baltimore, one o£ whose
forts was being assailed
when the inspiration came
to the author to write our
national anthem. The flow-
ers are from large to very
large, with sixty or more
petals opening to a high center. The color is a
magnificent deep red rose. Wherever it has been
staged this Rose has swept all competitors from
the boards and secured every prize it has entered
foi’. Grand for the garden. 25 cents; 2-year
plants, 60 cents.
GENERAL SUPERIOR ARNOLD JANSSEN (H. T.)
— This is a fine new Rose by the same introducer
as that of Jonkheer J. L. Mock and Mevrouw Dora
Van Tets. It is now considered by many that
Mock has that old time favorite, La France,
bested. General Janssen is a wonderful Rose, the
color being a deep, glowing carmine or brightest
red. Flowers of the largest size, full and fra-
grant. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
HARRY KIRK (T.) — A splendid Rose, of most
robust growth, with free-branching habit, flow-
ering freely and continuously; the blooms are
large, with large, smooth petals of great sub-
stance; the form is perfect, the buds long and
elegant. Color, deep sulphur-yellow, passing to a
lighter shade at the edges of the petals. Awarded
a gold medal by the National Rose Society of
England. This Rose is difficult to propagate, and
will always, for this reason, remain high in price,
although when once rooted and established, is a
good grower. 50 cents; 2-year plants, $1.00.
HELEN TAFT (H. T.) — A rich cerise-pink. Flower
very large. A free bloomer and will become as
mmous as a bedding Rose as is the variety Pres.
Taft. Growth very strong. Keep your eye on
this variety. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 60 cents.
HERZOGIN MARIE ANTOINETTE (H. T.) Very
long buds of pure orange or old gold; very large

Nurserymens Society; also prizes of honor at
Leipsic, Sangerhausen and Zweibrucken. 20 cents*
2-year plants, 50 cents.

bud IS long and opens into a magnificent bloom
quite dazzling in its velvety brilliance. Be sure
and try this Rose. 35 cents; 2-year plants, 75 cts.

Roses. The color is old gold or coppery-yellow

26
THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
JONKHEER J. li. MOCK — This grand Rose is the
strongest growing in the Hybrid Tea class. The
blooms, which are produced with the greatest
freedom, are carried on stiff and erect stems, and
are of the largest size, of perfect formation and
highly perfumed. Color clear imperial-pink; a
glorious flower. Awarded two gold medals, one
silver medal and flve first prizes in Europe. We
can confidently recommend this sterling^ novelty
as a most valuable addition. The largest flowers
of all Hybrid Teas. A wonderful Rose. 30 cents;
2- year plants* 50 cents*
KIIitiARlVEY BRIIililANT — The introducers are to
be congratulated sixteen years after the advent
of Killarney in giving us this
distinct novelty which is un-
doubtedly the best of the Kil-
larney type. Killarney Bril-
liant has the same habit of
growth and the same freedom
of bloom as its parent, while
the flower is more double. The
color is very brilliant pink
and varies like Killarney. In
the garden in bright weather
is clear pink, and in dull
weather almost a crimson.
Extra. 20 cents; 2-year plants,
50 cents.
KILiIiARlVEY Q,UEE1V (H. T.) —
A cerise-pink sport of Kil-
larney that for clearness and
brightness of color has not
been equalled; exceptionally
strong in growth, with foli-
age that is perfect, being
larger than Killarney and
more glossy. In size of petals
Killarney Queen is larger than
its parent, and for high grade
bloom it is a very superior
variety. Forces fine. 20 cents;
3- year plants* 40 cents.
LADY DUNLEATH (H. T.)— A
Rose with long, pointed, chaste
petals, an intermingling of
deep ivory, creamy-white, with
egg-yolk yellow zoned petals
of extreme beauty. Intense
but delicately and deliciously
Persian tea fragrance. Espe-
cially valuable for garden
decoration, being marvelously
free and continuous bloom-
ing. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50
LADY GREEWALL (H. T. ) — Intense saffron-orange
heavily zoned and overspread on deep creamy-
white, reflex of petals faintly suffused delicate
shell-pink; a truly magnificent Rose. 25 cents;
2-year plants* 60 cents.
LADY HILLINGDOIV (Tea) — At the Detroit Rose
show this was awarded the sweepstakes over all
yellow Roses. It has long, willowy stems that
are in no sense weak, as the buds are held up-
right; has a long, slender, pointed bud of brilliant
deep golden-yellow, and a striking peculiarity of
this Rose was that each day of the show this
golden-yellow color became deeper yellow and
more intense, unlike all other yellow Roses with
which we are familiar, as invariably the tendency
after being cut is to get lighter in color. This
Rose at no stage of its development shows this
lighter color as does Sunburst and others of the
yellow Roses, but is always an even, deep, intense
golden-yellow; forces well. Awarded gold medal,
N. R. S. 20 cents; 2-year plants* 50 eents.
LADY MARY WARD (H. T.) — Rich orange, shaded
deeper apricot-orange, with a decided metallic
flush. Very free-flowering, with fine habit of
growth. Sweetly perfumed, attractive and deco-
rative. Gold medal, N. R. S. 20 cents; 2-year
plants* 50 cents.
LADY KATHERINE ROSE (H. T.) — A direct cross
between “Antoine Rivoire” and “La Fraicheur.”
The color of this Rose is of the same delicate
pink as “La Fraicheur,” with the same unique
markings in the petals characteristic of this
beautiful Rose, retaining the delicious scent. This
variety was growing in the midst of known va-
rieties during the summer, and several leading
Rose growers who saw it blooming were quick to

describe. Awarded gold medal. National Rose So-
ciety of England, and silver medal at Crystal
Palace Show, London. 35 cents; 2-year plants,
75 cents.
LADY PIRRIE (H. T.) — A delightful garden Rose, j:
of very distinct coloring. Stands at the top of 4
the “Fancy Roses.” The outside petals are red- j
dish-salmon; inside apricot, flushed fawn and cop- j
per. An ideal variety for bedding. Color, free- ♦

favorites. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. 20 cents; i
2- year plants* 50 cents.
LUCIEN CHAURE (H. T.) — A beautiful bright pink, i
illuminated with clear rosy-cream. Very large i
and of regular form. A fine garden Rose. 35
cents; 3-year plants* 75 cents.
3IABEL DREW (H. T. ) — A truly magnificent Rose,
superb in every respect; the
blooms are large, full and
symmetrical, the color is deep ^
nich cream passing to intense
canary-yellow. It has a de-
liciously refreshing perfume. i
Altogether a transcendently I
beautiful Rose. Awarded by
a unanimous vote the gold
medal of the National Rose -
Society. 25 cents; 2-year
plants* 50 cents.
MADAME CHARLES LUTAUD
(H. T.) — A fine, vigorous
grower, with erect, branching (
habit. Stems are almost :
thornless; foliage broad and
nicely bronzed; bud very long
and pointed, on long stems
The bloom is large and full.

Bud long and beautifully
formed, opening into a sur-
prisingly large, full flower
with immense outer petals. |
Color, clear pink, with salmon i
shadings and reddish-orange
center, every tint clear and i
beautiful. The finest of the (
“Antoine Rivoire” type on ac- .

is a most superb Rose. Awarded gold medal at i
Nancy, 1912. Extra fine. 20 cents; 2-year plants, I
50 cents,
3IADE3IOISELLE BLANCHE MARTIGNAT (Tea) —
Like so many of the good continental Roses, we '
just happened to have the good luck to run onto ;
this superior Rose by chance. Why it has been i
neglected so long is beyond our comprehension.
The only solution to the question, “lost in the
shuffle,” is probably the appropriate answer.
Growth free and the foliage is quite distinct, both ^
in shape and color. The shape is extremely long
and pointed. It has a distinct light silvery color, i
The flowers are beautiful peach-pink, with tints 1,1
of yellow and crimson, the same colors as seen ^
in the Aurora Borealis. 20 cents; 2-year plants* ||
50 cents. 1
3IADA3IE RAVARY (H. T.) — Not a new Rose, but ]
not largely disseminated in this country. It is i
probable that more of this yellow Rose is planted J
in England, Ireland and the Continent than all ‘j
other yellows combined. In growth and habit it i
is much like Madame Caroline Testout, and will I
always command a good price, being difficult to h
propagate. Long, pointed buds of beautiful gold- I
en-yellow, opening to large, full, orange-yellow ]
flowers. Very free-flowering; superb. 25 cents; »
3- year plants, 60 cents.
3IRS. SAM ROSS (H. T.) — Very large full flowers.
Petals are large, smooth, shell-shaped and slightly !
cupped, beautifully reflexed at edges. A flower i
of largest size and great refinement. A novel and
uncommon shade of color, at once distinct and
pleasing, but difficult to describe. It may be said
to shade from pale straw color to light chamois-
yellow, with a distinct flush of buff on the reverse
of the petals. Very sweetly scented. Awarded
the gold medal of the National Rose Society,
Regent’s Park, London, July 7, 1911. 25 cents;
2-year plants* 50 cents.

CHAMPION CITY GREENHOUSES, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO
27
MADISON (Tea) — This is the “money maker” among
the cut flower Roses, and is a greatly improved
Bride, and when we say improvement, we mean
a genuine improvement. The best feature of
Madison is that the foliage does not mildew.
Madison is mildew-proof. Then, after being
planted and well established, Madison will cut as
many flowers as Killarney, cutting steady each
month in the year. Madison is a grand addition
to our list of forcing Roses. Remember, that
“Madison” is the money maker. 20 cents; 2-year
plants, 50 cents.
MEVROUW DORA VAN TETS (H. T.) — A chaste
Rose of great beauty. Perfect habit of growth,
every shoot producing a
bloom; a veritable pearl for jf..
garden decoration. The color
is a deep glowing crimson;
a flower you want to linger
with, and which you visit
again and again. This is
another most valuable gar-
den Rose sent out by that
painstaking Dutchman, M,
Leenders, of Steil-Tegelan,
who has already enriched
for all time our gardens with
the grand varieties “Jonk-
heer J. L. Mock,” “Garten-
director Hartrath,” and
“General Superior Arnold
Janssen.” Your friends will
make no mistake in plant-
ing this Rose. 20 cents; 2-
year plants, 50 cents.
\ MILDRED GRANT (H. T.) —
Ivory-white, with an occa-
sional flush of pale peach.
High pointed center, with
unusually large and massive
petals, opening to perfectly
formed flowers of enormous
size and substance. Awarded
the gold medal of N. R. S.
We are the only firm in the
United States offering this
Rose on its own roots in
young plants. It is a grand
Rose. 50 cents.
' MRS. ANDREW CARNEGIE
(H. T.) — Sent out by James Cocker & Sons, of
Aberdeen, Scotland. This Rose is an epoch-mak-
ing flower, as an old Kentish grower put it, “a
nailer.” At the stand where Mrs. Andrew Car-
negie was shown there was a big crowd around
it all the time the show was open. Queen Alex-
andra admired it as she passed through the show
in the morning before the great rush of the
afternoon. One enthusiast describes it as having
“lit up the whole show.” With its handsome
shape and delicious fragrance it combines a color
that entrances. Pale lemon-yellow at base of the
petals, shading to pure white. Won the gold
medal N. R. S. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 60
cents.
’ MRS. CAMPBELL HALL (H. T.) — Delicate creamy-
buff, edged and suffused with carmine-rose. The
center of the bloom is warm cerise coral-fawn.
t 35 cents; 2-year plants, 75 cents.
MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL (H. T.)-^This wonderful
new Rose has taken the country by storm. No
other forcing Rose, except American Beauty, can
compete with it in points. Color, a grand rosy-
red or deep pink, of the largest size. 25 cents;
2-year plants, 50 cents.
MRS. FORDE (H. T.) — A magnificent and exquisite
Rose, whose large blooms, on erect flower stalks,
are of perfect form and finish, with daintiest
colorings, which are certainly unique among
Roses, being stained or flushed purest deep car-
mine-rose and delicate rose-pink, with a zone of
clear chrome-yellow at the base of each petal;
refreshingly fragrant, being delightfully and dis-
tinctly tangerin-rose perfume. Awarded gold
medal by N. R. S. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50
cents.
MRS. PRANK BRAY (H. T.) — This is claimed to be
a great advance on the lovely and justly es-
teemed “Mme. Ravary,” which until now has been
the best of its color amongst the decorative or
garden varieties. “Mrs. Frank Bray,” during its
several years’ trial preceding its introduction, has
proven immensely superior to its prototype, not
only in vigorous growth, but also in color, which
is a deep, rich, coppery-ecru, developing as the
flower opens to a very delicate coppery-fawn,
with shading of ivory shell-pink. 25 cents; 2-
year plants, 00 cc^ts.
MRS. FREDERICK W. VANDERBILT (H. T.) — Deep
orange-red shaded with bronzy apricot-red;
growth vigorous and very free-flowering; blooms
large, of good habit and substance; a most won-
derful Rose. Gold medal N. R. S. 25 cents; 2-
year plants, 60 cents.
3IRS. GEORGE SHAWYER (Tea) — This Rose prom-
ises good things in its color and class. The color
is a lovely bright shade of pink. A valuable Rose
which has proven fine for forcing. It has all the
ear-marks of a fine bedder. From the raisers of
Lady Hillingdon. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cts.
3IRS. GORDON SLOANE (H. T.) — Pearly flesh-
white, which as the flower develops becomes a
delicate coppery shrimp-
pink in the center with
creamy outer petals; reverse
of petals electric-copper on
pure deep salmon-pink. The
blooms are produced in
marvelous profusion; has a
delicious fruit perfume. A
truly charming Rose. 20
cents; 2-year plants, 50 cts.
MRS. MOOREFIELD STORY
(H. T.) — This Rose is intro-
duced to the Rose growers
of the world by the famous
Waban Rose Conservatories
of Massachusetts. The color
is shell-pink, deepening to-
wards the center and tipped
rose. Very handsome. 25
cents ; 2-year plants, 60
cents.
MRS. MUIR MACKEAN (H. T.)
This is a Rose of very spe-
cial merit. In all the range
of colors among Hybrid
Teas it stands unique and
quite distinct; bright car-
mine-crimson, without shad-
ing. A grand, bold, well-
built flower, perfect in shape
and form; of the most mod-
ern type. Extra perpetual
flowering. Everything about
this Rose is pleasing and at-
tractive; fragrant. 20 cents;
2-year plants, 40 cents.
3IARQUIS DE SINETY (H. T.)— Not a new Rose,
but will always be scarce as it is difficult to
propagate but easy to. grow after it is rooted.
Deep golden-yellow, shaded bronzy-red; large,
full and very fine. 50 cents.
NERISSA (H. T.) — This Rose was given an award
of merit from the Royal Horticultural Society of
England. Why they did not give it a gold medal
is beyond our ken. An enormously large, full
flower, of fine shape, making a magnificent effect
m the garden. Growth vigorous. This is a great
Rose. 20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
NIPHETOS (Tea) — We wonder how many rose
growers remember this old Rose. We have been
five years trying to get a stock of it; everyone
would say, “Just sold out.” It has the longest
bud of any Rose barring none. The color is snow-
white, flushed with delicate pink. 35 cents.
OLD GOLD (H. T.) — Vivid reddish-orange with rich
coppery-red and apricot shadings. A true old
gold color which is a. unique color amongst Roses.
A continuous free bloomer. Very sweetly fra-
grant. Gold medal. National Rose Society. 25
cents; 2-year plants, 60 cents.
OPHELIA (H. T.) — When Ophelia was sent out on
its message of Rose beauty to entrance the world,
there was placed a tablet in the hall of Rose
fame to Wm. Paul & Son that will grow brighter
as the flight of time goes on. Its lustre will
never tarnish or grow dim. A more enduring
memorial than anything else in the world can
give. Think what joy and happiness, yea, peace,
this Rose will produce as the ages go by, and how
modest Mr. Paul & Son were in their description,
which we give verbatim: “Salmon-flesh, shaded
with rose; large, and of perfect shape; of excel-
lent habit, the flowers standing up well on long,
stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Ex-
cellent for forcing and a fine decorative variety.
Grow^th vigorous.” Certainly a glorious Ros®.. Be
sure to have “Ophelia” fixed in your memory. (See
illustration on page 28.) 25c; 2-year plants, 60c.
PRIMROSE (H. T.) — Melon-yellow during spring
and summer, deeper in autumn, with apricot shad-
ings; a most distinct coloring; large, double, of
perfect form, with long, pointed buds; deliciously
fragrant. Magnificent bedding Rose. Unsurpassed,
20 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie.

The Wonderful New Rose, Ophelia.
(See description on page 27.)
PRINCE ENGIiEBERT CHARGES DE ARENBERG
(H. T.) — Without doubt the most promising red
forcing Rose in sight, a grand Rose of vigorous
growth and freedom of bloom unapproached in
any other variety; buds perfectly formed, devel-
oping into a perfect open flower of ideaj form;
no deformed buds. The color is a clear and lively
red without tone of purple that kills all the other
red forcers. The color is most pleasing and under
artiflcial light wonderfully brilliant. Growers
will make no mistake in planting this Rose heav-
ily. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 60 cents.
UUEEN MARY (H. T.) — A uniquely beautiful Rose
which enthuses the hearts of all who see it and
ever holds them in its lovely sway. Its pure rich
colorings, which are zoned deep, bright canary-
yellow, on plenteous well-shaped petals which
are crayoned with pure deep carmine. This extra
touch of color gives a gloriously warm effect as
the yellow and carmine do not commingle. The
petals are arranged in tip-tilted globular forma-
tion. It is most floriferous and fragrantly prim-
rose-tea perfumed. Awarded silver cup, Festivat
of the Empire, Crystal Palace, London, and silver
gilt medal N. R. S. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 60 cts.
SUNBURST (H. T.) — This magniflcent giant yellow
Rose is a flne forcer; it stands head and shoulders
above all others of its color and will rank with
American Beauty and the Killarneys in value and
grandeur. It has long, pointed buds which can
be cut tight for market. The color is orange-cop-
per or golden-orange and golden-yellow; edge of
petals lighter; all intense shades, extremely bril-
liant in effect. Some call the color cadmium-yel-
low. It makes no difference what you call its
color, it is the yellowest of all Roses in the ever-
blooming class. Belongs in the class of big Roses;
has created a sensation wherever shown. Yes,
and something more must be said about this Rose.
It puts all the yellows to sleep when it comes to
bedding in the garden. The golden-yellow color
stays right with the flower until it fully flnishes.
Better get acquainted with “Sunburst.” 25 cents;
2-year plants, 50 cents.

“Famous’’ Rose Collection for Fall Planting
WE GUARANTEE THAT NO BETTER TWELVE ROSES FOR THE GARDEN WERE EVER OF-
FERED THAN THIS “FAMOUS” COLLECTION. TRY THE3I. Price, 10 cents each; any six for 50 cents;
the entire twelve for 90 cents; 2-year-old plants, 25 cents each; any six for $1.25; the entire 12 for $2.25.
ANTOINE RIVOIRE — This is the famous Mrs. Taft
Rose of the fashionable Eastern markets. This
Rose is in a class by itself; no Rose ever pro-
duced has such substance of petal; color creamy-
white with rainbow tints; a beauty and a wonder.
BESSIE BROWN — A Rose of transcendent beauty;
of the largest size; color pearl-white with a deli-
cate tinge of fawn.
ETOILE DE FRANCE — For the best red garden
Rose it lies between this one, Rhea Reid and
Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the
other.
ETOILE DE LYON — Still the best large golden-
yellow Rose.
HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet) — What the in-
troducers say: “This is a true Cochet Rose, and
after two year’s trial in the garden we pronounce
It as good if not better than any Rose for the
garden ever sent out. We bought the entire stock
of this Rose, paying |1,000 for two plants, this
being by far the highest recorded price ever paid
for any Rose. The color is a delicate yellow, suf-
fused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very
chaste and beautiful. The color, with its im-
mense size and exquisite form, makes it without
question the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced,
and we are proud to have brought it out.”
: HELEN GOULD — A rich red Rose that is a great
bloomer; the shade of red has been described best
as a watermelon-red; elegant.
hKAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA — A grand white
garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full
and double; fine buds and fiowers.
1 LA FRANCE — This is claimed by many to be the
queen of all the Roses; bright silvery-pink.
MA9IAN COCHET (The Q,ueen of all Garden Roses)
— Such beauty and exquisite form as is possessed
by this variety is well-nigh marvelous, and can-
not be seen in any other Rose we know of. The
buds are beautiful, large, full and firm and ele-
gantly pointed; as they expand they show great
depth and richness, sometimes measuring two
and a half inches from base to tip. Flowers
superb when open, extra large, perfectly double
and of splendid substance. Small pot plants will
in the open ground quickly make large, strong
bushes and produce, on long, stiff stems, great
numbers of perfect fiowers that are enchanting
in fragrance and delicate brightness. The color
is rich, clear pink, changing to a silvery-rose. As
we see it, one good Rose like any of the Cochet
Roses is worth a whole collection of poor ones.
SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT — A grand Rose of
the largest size; the color a delicate fawn or sal-
mon; extra fine.
WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than
This) — This Rose attracted our attention from the
very first time we ever saw it in fiower. It is of
the largest size, and as you will notice, the fiower
is built up, or rounded, and very double. The
color is a pure snow-white. Sometimes outdoors
it is tinged pink, which only adds to its great
beauty. No Rose surpasses it in vigorous growth
and in the immense size of its buds and fiowers —
indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it
in size. Deliciously fragrant.
W3I. R. S3IITH — This Rose has several names, such
as Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden’s
Blush, etc. Color delicate blush. It has no su-
perior as a garden Rose.
Climbing Tea and Noisette Roses
This class includes some of our most beautiful and valuable Roses. They are unusually free and
continuous bloomers, producing fiowers of rare and striking beauty. As they are all climbers, they
should be placed near porches, pillars or trellises, where they have support. They are hardy in the
South. Price, 10 cents each; three for 25 cents; any seven for 50 cents. Price of large 2-year-old plants
of Climbing Roses named below, 35 cents each; three for $1.00.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
Polyantha, or Baby Rambler Roses
A class of miniature Roses derived from the Climbing Polyantha. They are of dwarf habit and
bloom so freely as to cover the entire plant with bloom all through summer and fall. The plants are
splendid for bedding, or as edgings for borders they are hardy. Let us tell you something about these
miniature Roses. While Europe has appreciated these Roses for years, America is just beginning to
w'ake up to the fact that they have come to stay, and anyone who attempts to handle Roses without in-
cluding this class will bump into something real hard. They are useful, either pot grown or for bed-
ding purposes or for hedge effects. 10 cents each; six for 50 cents; two-year plants* 35 cents each.
ANNA MUIiliER — The pink Baby Rambler; al-
ways in bloom.
BABY RAMBLER — Completely hides itself all
summer; bright red.
BABY TAUSENDSCHOEN — Its flowers are
large and so much like Tausendschoen that
it has been rechristened “Baby Tausend-
schoen.” It is a bush form of the “Climbing
Tausendschoen” or “Thousand Beauties,” hav-
ing all the charm in the variable coloring in
its flowers that its parent has, being firm
white, delicately flushed pink, changing to
deep rosy-carmine. This is a splendid Rose.
Try it.
CATHERINE ZEIMET — The White Baby Ram-
bler; extra.
CORONET — Yellow, shaded with rose.
ELiIjEN POUIiSON — Dark brilliant pink; fra-
grant; fine.
ERNA TESCHENDORPF — A sport from “Mad-
ame Norbert Levavasseur,” which it re-
sembles with regard to habit of growth and
foliage, etc. The flowers are of a deep crim-
son color, flushed with carmine, resembling
the dazzling color of “Gruss an Teplitz.” This
variety does not lose its color in the hottest
sun and has no purple shades. It has received
many awards on the continent, and is said to
be the darkest Polyantha in existence. It is
much sought after in America to bloom in
pots during the winter and for Easter time.
JESSIE — Bright cherry-crimson. Superb.
L.E PONCEAU^Dark red in large clusters.
MADEMOISELLE CECILE BRTJNNER — This is the
popular Baby Pink Rose. In the past year or two
this Rose has fairly jumped into popularity. It
always was a popular outdoor Rose on the Pacific
Coast, but recently even in the effete East and
everywhere in America they are planting it
simply by the thousands for cut flowers. It has
become quite the rage. It makes a handsome
miniature Rose, coming in sprays of three to five
buds, and combines in beautiful effect with so
many other flowers in all kinds of floral work.
It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully pro-
tected in the winter should be a money maker,
both outdoors and under glass. The bud and
flower are both handsome. Color blush, shaded
light salmon-pink; distinct and desirable.
MARIE PA VIE — Elegant white flushed with pink.
3IRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH — Flowers the delicate pink
of Dorothy Perkins.

beaten. The color is irresistible. We believe that i

flowers are of enormous size, three to four inches
across, of a lovely shade of apple-blossom pink,
with a clear white eye and cluster of yellow
stamens. These flowers are borne in immense
bunches, and a large plant in full bloom is a sight
not easily forgotten. They last in perfection a
long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips
or berries, which are carried late into the winter;
and as the plant frequently retains its lovely
green foliage until the end of November, it forms
a beautiful decorative subject throughout the

strong, vigorous growth, with bright green, glossy
foliage, which is retained until late in fall. 15
cents each; 2-year plants, 40 cents.

THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN
The New Hardy Climbing Roses — Concluded
RED DOROTHY PERKINS, or EXCEESA — It is a
good deal to claim for a Rose, but we are within
bounds when we describe Excelsa as a brilliant
Crimson Rambler flower on glossy, varnished
Wichuraiana foliage. The defects of Crimson
Rambler are its unsightly foliage in unseasonable
weather, and its defoliation by insects; the in-
fusion of Wichuraiana blood assures an orna-
mental climber which is nearly evergreen, and
this will assure this lovely crimson-scarlet pillar
Rose a place in every American garden, for it is
quite hardy in addition to all its other fine points.
The flowers are very double, produced in large
trusses of thirty to forty, and almost every eye on
a shoot produces large clusters of flowers. The
color is intense crimson-maroon, the tips of the
petals tinged with sca,rlet. The finest of all red
climbing Roses. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 cents.
SILVER MOON — Flowers very large, four and one-
half inches and over in diameter; pure white in
color; petals of great substance, beautifully
cupped, forming a Clematis-like flower. The large
disc of yellow stamens in the center adds decid-
edly to its attractiveness; delicately scented. 25
cents; 2-year plants, 60 cents.
SHOWER OP GOLD — Almost the color of “William
Allen Richardson,” not quite so much orange-yel-
low; very fine. 25 cents; 2-year plants, 50 eents.
TAUSENDSCHOEN, or THOUSAND BEAUTIES — A
climbing Rose that comes to us from Germany.
The flowers upon first opening are the most deli-
cate shade of pink ever seen in a Rose, might be
described as a white delicately flushed pink
changing to rosy-carmine. It gets its name from
its many flowers and the variation in coloring;
beautiful; will become as famous as Crimson
Rambler or Dorothy Perkins. We wrote the
above a year ago, and now we can add that this
Rose, is sweeping the country like a prairie fire.
You can word paint all you want to and then you
will have left something unsaid. Simply a won-
der. 20 cents; 2- year plants, 50 cents.
VEIIiCHENBLiAU (The Wonderful New Blue Rose)
This is a Rambler, and will thrive anywhere, be-
ing perfectly hardy. It has created a great stir
in the Rose world, for the talk of a Blue Rose
has been going on since time immemorial. It
first opens a pink color, quickly changing to a
decided^ violet-blue. When the plant is in full
bloom it presents a startling effect. 15 cents
each; two for 25 eents; 2-year plants, 40 cents.
THE NEW FRENCH HYDRANGEAS
Let us tell our friends that these new French Hydrangeas are the most meritorious plants brought
out in years. They have enormous trusses of bloom that completely hide the plant. They are half hardy
and may be planted in the latitude of Philadelphia and in the Gulf and Pacific states. They are also fine
as house plants, blooming in the spring time about Easter. When kept at a temperature of seventy de-
grees out of doors they bloom about June.
All the Following New Hydrangeas strong
AVALANCHE— A splendid large white, which has
made a reputation for itself during the past two
seasons. An easy variety to force.

flowers, rosy-amber turning to bright pink; has
proven a special favorite in the New York mar-
ket this season.
E. G. HILL — This is the newest one and the very
best, and is by far the best pink that we have yet
tried; trusses of immense size. Color a most
pleasing shade of baby pink that does not fade.

is one of the easiest to force into bloom during
the spring, coming into flower early.
ERAICHEUR — Very large, regularly shaped flowers,
white, delicately suffused with rose. Very free
flowering.

entirely distinct. One of the very best early flow-
ering varieties.
MLLE. RENEE GAILLARD — Very large panicles of
milky-white, irregularly dentated flowers, which
is certain to become popular; it is entirely dis-
tinct. One of the best growers of Hydrangeas
says that this variety should really have been
awarded the silver medal given to Mme. Emile
Mcuillere lasif year as the best white.
MME. MAURICE HAMAR — A delicate flesh-rose
color; a vigorous grower, the individual flowers
as well as the trusses being very large; one of

white variety in the New York market this year,
very free flowering, of good size and form.

Show at Boston last year. A great favorite with
English growers, one London grower known to
us handling over 30,000 of this variety alone.
MOUSSELINE, the famous Blue-flowered Hydrangea
— With us a beautiful plumbago-blue. The intro-
ducer describes it as a beautiful mauve-rose with
cream-colored center; the flower heads are
large and held erect: a decided acquisition. If
you desire a beautiful deep blue Hydrangea
flower, get this one.
ORNAMENT — Large, pretty, mauve-pink flowers;
very free flowering.
SOUVENIR DE MME. CHAUTARD — One of the
