Announcement 


In  issuing  this  new  catalogue  for  the  spring  of  1920,  I take 
great  pleasure  in  thanking  my  many  friends  for  their  generous  pat- 
ronage in  the  past  and  I hope  to  merit  a continuance  of  their  pat- 
ronage. 

I am  always  glad  to  welcome  visitors  to  my  gardens  who  are 
interested  in  hardy  plants  and  flowers.  My  gardens  are  located  on 
the  improved  Ridge  Road  17  miles  from  Rochester.  Rochester  and 
Sodus  Bay  car — Stop  60  is  directly  in  front  of  the  premises.  It  is 
only  about  five  minutes  ’ walk  from  Fruitland  Station  on  the  R.  W. 
& O.  R.  R. 

TO  MY  PATRONS — I shall  be  glad  at  any  time  to  make  sug- 
gestions as  to  the  selection  of  varieties  of  plants  or  shrubs  for  any 
given  purpose  or  to  assist  in  making  up  collections  of  either  stand- 
ard varieties  of  plants  or  of  novelties.  I shall  undertake  to  secure 
at  reasonable  prices  any  plant  or  shrub  for  my  patrons,  which  1 
may  not  have  in  my  large  collection.  Information  relating  to  the 
culture  of  special  plants  will  be  frankly  and  freely  given  at  any 
time. 

GUARANTEE — If  I hope  to  retain  trade,  I can  send  only  such 
stock  as  is  true  to  name,  first-class  quality  and  in  good  condition 
when  it  leaves  my  place.  Since  I have  no  control  over  stock  after 
it  leaves  my  place,  I cannot  assume  responsibility  for  failures  due 
to  improper  planting  or  neglect  after  the  plants  have  left  my  hands. 
I guarantee  safe  arrival  of  all  stock  sent  by  express.  I also  guar- 
antee all  stock  true  to  name,  and  in  a healthy  growing  condition 
when  it  leaves  my  hands.  Any  stock  which  proves  otherwise  will 
be  gladly  replaced  or  the  price  therefor  refunded.  I never  substi- 
tute inferior  varieties  for  those  ordered,  but  should  a variety 
ordered  be  sold  out,  I will  fill  the  order  with  a similar  or  better 
variety,  correctly  labeled,  unless  instructions  to  the  contrary  are 
given  in  the  order. 

The  prices  quoted  in  this  list  are  as  low  as  is  consistent  with 
the  quality  of  stock  we  send  out.  In  some  cases,  our  prices  will  be 
found  lower  than  prices  quoted  by  others,  but  in  no  case  will  we 
send  out  any  stock  except  of  the  highest  quality. 

When  ordering,  please  write  your  name,  postoffice,  county  and 
state  plainly  and  give  your  nearest  express  office  address,  if  it  is 
different  from  your  postoffice  address. 

It  is  very  important  to  order  early.  Our  stock  of  some  of  the 
choicest  varieties  is  limited  and  it  is  often  impossible  to  secure 
them  late  in  the  season. 

Cut  Flowers — During  the  blooming  season  we  can  generally 
supply  fancy  cut  flowers  of  Iris,  Peonies,  Gladioli,  Dahlias  and 
other  hardy  plants. 

Kindly  send  me  the  names  of  your  flower  loving  friends.  I 
shall  be  glad  to  send  them  copies  of  my  catalogue  and  will  repay 
you  by  including  extras  with  your  order.

Gladioli 


Gladioli  are  of  very  easy  culture.  The  bulbs  may  be  planted 
as  early  as  the  ground  can  be  worked  and  for  a succession  of  bloom 
every  two  weeks  up  to  July.  The  ground  should  be  dug  deeply  and 
the  bulbs  planted  4 to  6 inches  deep.  They  may  be  planted  in  rows 
1 foot  apart  and  5 to  6 inches  apart  in  the  rows.  A sandy  loam 
soil  away  from  the  shade  of  trees  or  buildings,  suits  them  best, 
although  they  will  thrive  in  any  good  garden  soil.

Dahlias 

CULTURE — The  Dahlia  will  grow  in  any  good  garden  soil. 
The  soil  should  be  worked  deep  and  well  prepared.  Large  quanti- 
ties of  manure  should  be  avoided,  as  it  tends  to  produce  a heavy 
growth  of  foliage  at  the  expense  of  bloom.  An  application  of  bone 
meal  or  good  commercial  fertilizer  will  generally  be  found  sufficient. 
The  roots  should  be  planted  2 y2  feet  apart  in  rows  3 feet  apart. 
They  should  be  laid  down  flat  and  covered  with  four  or  five  inches 
of  soil.  They  may  be  planted  as  soon  as  frost  is  over,  but  in  our 
climate  we  have  found  June  the  best  month  to  plant  them  out.  In 
ease  the  plants  beeome  stunted  by  hot,  dry  weather  cut  them  back 
so  that  they  will  produce  new  wood  for  the  cool  months  of  autumn. 

After  the  plants  have  been  frozen  in  the  fall,  dig  carefully  and 
store  the  roots  in  a dry,  cool  cellar  for  winter.  In  the  spring,  the 
roots  should  be  divided,  preferably  to  one  eye,  before  planting. 

We  list  only  those  varieties  which  we  can  recommend  and 
whieh  have  been  selected  from  our  large  collection. 

CLASSIFICATION  OF  DAHLIAS 

CACTUS  DAHLIAS— These  are  of  recent  introduction  and  are 
becoming  very  popular.  In  form  they  somewhat  resemble  the 
Chrysanthemum,  the  petals  are  long,  narrow,  incurved  and  some- 
times twisted,  giving  them  a very  graceful  appearance. 

DECORATIVE  DAHLIAS  are  the  largest  flowering  of  any 
type.  They  have  long,  broad,  flat  petals. 

SHOW  DAHLIAS  are  the  old-fashioned  large,  round  compact 
and  quillled  flowered  type. 

FANCY  DAHLIAS  are  show  Dahlias,  having  the  flowers  tipped 
or  edged  lighter  than  the  ground  color. 

PEONY  FLOWERED  DAHLIAS  are  the  newest  type,  and 
somewhat  resemble  the  peony  in  form.  The  flowers  are  generally 
semi-double,  exposing  golden  yellow  disc  in  the  center.  They  are 
very  beautiful  and  free  flowering. 

POMPON  DAHLIAS  are  identical  in  form  with  show  dahlias 
but  are  small. 

SINGLE  DAHLIAS  have  a single  row  of  petals  surrounding  a 
golden  yellow  center.  They  are  very  graceful  and  free  flowering. 

COLLARETTE  DAHLIAS  are  single  Dahlias  having  a row  of 
petals  inside  of  the  outside  row.

Hardy  Roses 

CULTURAL  DIRECTIONS — Roses  prefer  what  is  termed  a 
deep  clay  loam  soil.  It  should  be  well  drained  and  away  from  the 
shade  of  trees  and  buildings.  The  soil  should  be  deeply  and  thor- 
oughly prepared  and  liberal  applications  of  well  rotted  manure  ap- 
plied. The  plants  may  be  set  eighteen  inches  apart  in  rows  two  feet 
apart.  When  planting  budded  bushes,  the  union  of  the  bud  and 
stock  should  come  at  least  two  inches  below  the  surface  of  the 
soil.  They  should  be  planted  as  early  in  the  spring  as  the  soil  is  dry 
enough  to  work.  After  planting  the  shoots  should  be  reduced  to 
two  or  three  and  these  cut  back  to  at  lea's!  four  inches  from  the 
ground. 

The  stock  we  send  out  is  2-year-old,  field  grown.  It  is  Ameri- 
can grown  and  thoroughly  acclimated  to  our  soil  and  climate.  Our 
stock  of  roses  is  first-class  in  every  particular  and  should  give  a 
full  crop  of  blooms  two  months  after  planting. 


Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses 

These  are  strong  growing  and  generally  hardy  without  protec- 
tion. They  produce  a very  abundant  crop  of  large  flowers  in  June 
and  more  or  less  continuously  all  summer. 

Strong,  2-year-old,  field  grown  plants,  except  where  noted,  60 
cents  each,  $6.50  per  doz.,  six  at  dozen  rates.  Roses  are  sent  by 
express,  charges  collect.

E verblooming  Roses 

These  are  the  most  important  garden  roses.  They  are  the 
result  of  crossing  tea  roses  with  the  hybrid  perpetual  roses.  They 
combine  the  hardiness  of  the  hybrid  perpetual  roses  with  the  ever- 
blooming  qualities  of  the  tea  roses.  These  will  be  benefited  by 
some  winter  protection  in  the  North.

Peonies 

CULTURE — Peonies  should  be  planted  from  the  beginning  of 
September  until  the  ground  freezes.  We  begin  digging  early  in 
September  and  can  ship  any  time  until  the  ground  freezes.  They 
prefer  a heavy  loam  soil  although  any  good  garden  soil  will  give 
good  results.  It  should  be  well  drained  and  away  from  the  shade 
of  trees  or  buildings.  The  soil  should  be  worked  deep.  Manure 
should  either  be  incorporated  in  the  soil  some  time  before  the  roots 
are  planted  or  used  as  a mulch  during  winter  and  worked  into  the 
soil  in  the  spring.  It  should  not  be  allowed  to  come  in  contact 
with  the  roots  at  any  time.  The  roots  should  be  planted  with  the 
eyes  two  or  three  inches  below  the  surface  of  the  soil.  They  are 
hardy  and  free  from  insect  attacks.  Early  planting  is  to  be  recom- 
mended at  it  gives  the  plants  a chance  to  get  established  before 
the  ground  freezes.  Orders  may  be  booked  at  any  time  for  fall 
delivery.  As  the  stock  of  some  of  the  new  and  rare  varieties  is 
limited,  early  orders  are  advisable. 

So  far  <as  possible  we  send  strong  one-year  old  plants;  when 
this  is  impossible,  we  send  divisions  with  three  to  five  strong  eyes 
which  generally  bloom  the  first  year.  Peonies  do  not  come  to  their 
best  until  the  third  or  fourth  year  and  some  varieties  do  not  bloom 
until  the  second  or  third  year  after  planting.  We  grow  our  own 
roots  and  guarantee  them  true  to  name.
