This  little  book’s  mission  is  to  tell  you  what  to  plant 
now  that  next  spring  and  summer  may  bring  an  abun- 
dance of  flowers  that  will  fill  your  heart  with  joy. 


P.  J.  LYNCH,  Owner 


First  of  all  are  these  famous  “Roses  of  New 
Castle”  specially  prepared  for  planting  now 
and  up  until  cold  weather.  So  famous  are 
these  pot  grown  own  root  Rose  plants  that 
they  have  become  their  own  best  advertise- 
ment. They  have  made  this  city  of  New 
Castle  known  throughout  the  land  as  the 
“Rose  City.”  Grown  by  our  own  special  meth- 
ods they  are  the  last  word  in  high  grade  Rose 
plants.  Plant  generously  of  them;  they  will 
prove  an  everlasting  source  of  satisfaction  and 
pleasure. 

Tnen  there  are  those  sweet  harbingers  of  Spring — Hyacinths, 
Tulips,  Crocus,  Narcissus  and  many  others.  They  may  be  plant- 
ed in  abundance  at  a trifling  cost.  Next  spring  when  nature 
awakens  from  her  winter’s  sleep,  when  the  robbins  and  blue- 
birds begin  to  tell  you  that  spring  is  here,  they  will  reward  you 
gloriously  with  their  beautiful  flowers  of  every  tint  and  color. 

Nothing  adds  so  much  to  the  joy  of  life,  the  beauty  of  your 
home  surroundings  and  from  a practical  point  of  view,  nothing 
adds  so  much  to  the  value  of  your  property  at  so  little  cost  as 
Roses  and  other  flowering  plants  such  as  we  offer. 


Life  long  experience,  an  honorable  reputation  for  fair  deal- 
ing to  sustain,  personal  interest  in  every  order  and  a guarantee 
that  removes  all  risk  will  encourage  you  to  order  early  and  liber- 
ally. A very  important  additional  advantage  to  the  purchaser  is

New  and  Rare  Roses 


Captain  F.  Bald 

Hybrid  Tea — Another  fascinating  new 
Rose  of  bush  type.  Strong,  erect 
grower  hearing  in  abundance  gorgeous 
deep  scarlet-crimson  flowers,  heavily 
flushed  with  blackish  crimson.  One  of 
the  darkest  of  all  roses.  Fragrant 
and  a continuous  bloomer.  Rare  and 
beautiful. 

Lafayette 

Polyantha — This  brilliant  new  ‘‘Baby 
Rambler’  ’ rose  has  taken  the  rose 

world  by  storm.  Flowers  large  as 

“Paul’s  Scarlet  Climber’’.  Produced 
in  enormous  clusters  as  many  as 
forty  flowers  in  a cluster,  contin- 
uously from  June  until  frost.  Color 
brilliant  cherry  crimson.  A most 

remarkable  new  rose.  As  yet  very 

scarce. 


Our  offerings  in 
new  Roses  embrace 
exquisite  varieties, 
marvelous  in  form, 
color  and  fragrance. 
It  is  impossible  to 
find  space  to  de- 
scribe them  proper- 
ly. They  mark  the 
scientific  advance- 
ment the  world  over 
in  the  realm  of  Ros- 
es. Of  necessity  our 
supply  is  limited, 
therefore  order  ear- 
ly. They  are  essen- 
tially garden  Roses 
and  will  do  well  in 
any  climate;  hardy, 
free  blooming  and 
superb  in  their  won- 
drous beauty. 


New  Columbia 


Hybrid  Tea — Sent  out 
by  E.  G.  Hill.  An  off- 
spring of  the  greatest  of  all  garden 
bush  Roses,  Columbia.  Color  is  a true 
pink  deepening  into  a glowing  pink, 
lighter  than  the  parent,  Columbia, 
with  outer  petals  reflex  opening  into 
a magnificent  full  flower  of  most  gor- 
geous appearance.  Some  claim  that  it 
is  identical  with  Silver  Columbia  hut 
we  are  not  prepared  to  say  that  it 
is,  hut  it  is  at  least  a great  addition 
worthy  of  a place  in  the  list.  Any 
Rose  with  the  characteristics  of  Col- 
umbia, which  we  regard  as  the  great- 
est of  all  pink  garden  Roses,  is  a 
good  Rose  and  the  more  sports  or 
offsprings  Ave  get  from  Columbia  the 
richer  will  be  the  gardens  of  America, 
Columbia  itself  stands  out  without  a 
peer  as  the  best  Rose  for  the  amateur 
grower.  This  new  variety  is  different 
but  has  all  the  remarkable  character- 
istics of  Columbia. 


Red  Columbia 

Hybrid  Tea — Has  a remarkable  record 
as  a prize  winner.  Same  as  Columbia 
except  the  color  is  a brilliant  scarlet 
crimson  of  exquisite  shading;  if  any- 
thing it  is  a more  constant  and  freer 
bloomer  than  Columbia  a feature,  that 
is  difficult  to  imagine  because  Colum- 
bia itself,  due  to  its  wonderful  root 
action  and  vigor  of  groAvth,  is  in 
bloom  all  the  time.  This  offspring 
has  the  characteristics  that  has  made 
Columbia  the  most  prized  of  all  gar- 
den bush  Roses.  Very  beautiful,  strong 
growing  and  a sensational  NeAV  Amer- 
ican Rose. 


Red  Giant 

Hybrid  Te-a — Another  very  fine  new 
bush  Rose  of  good  strong  groAvth,  free 
of  insects,  because  of  that  fact;  bears 
its  lovely  carmine  colored  flowers  con- 
stantly through  the  groAving  season. 
The  color  is  new,  attractive  and  dif- 
ferent, it  is  well  named.  You  will  like 
this  splendid  new  Rose. 


Price  of  all  Roses  on  this  page:

each;  strong  two  year  old  pot  grown

Mine.  Butterfly 


Hybrid  Tea — All  the  color 
tones  of  Ophelia  are  intensi- 
fied, making  it  a harmony  of 
bright  pink,  apricot  and  gold. 
Ophelia  ranks  at  the  top  m 
popularity  and  Madame 
Butterfly  will  surpass  it.  It 
averages  more  petals  to  the 
bloom;  it  produces  more 
bloom  to  the  plant  because 
it  makes  more  branches,  everyone 
carrying  a bud.  The  tight  buds  are  a 
lovely  shade  of  Indian  oak,  yellow  at 
the  base;  the  opening  flowers  are

Heller’s  Sure-to-Bloom  Hybrid  Tea  Roses 

These  great  bush  Roses  have  rapidly  superseded  all  other  classes  for  gen- 
eral planting  because  of  their  parentage,  which  is  the  result  of  cross  fertil- 
ization between  the  Hardy  Hybrid  Perpetual  or  June  Roses  and  the  Ever- 
blooming  Tea  Roses.  From  the  June  Roses  they  inherit  the  large,  bold  hand- 
some, exquisitely  fragrant  flowers,  retaining  in  a marked  degree  their  hardiness, 
so  that  they  stand  the  severest  winters  without  damage,  and  from  the  Tea 
Roses  they  have  retained  the  free  and  constant  blooming  habit,  together  with 
the  great  variety  of  color  found  only  in  this  class.  They  produce  their  gorgeous 
flowers  without  interruption  the  entire  growing  season,  making  them  the  best 
of  all  Roses  for  general  planting.  Our  collection  includes  all  varieties  of  merit 
now  in  cultivation.  All  on  their  own  roots — once  planted,  practically  permanent. 


Virginia  R.  Coxe 

(Gruss  an  T&plitz.)  For  intense  and 
dazzling  color  there  is  no  other  rose 
to  compare  with  this — fiery  crimson, 
shaded  with  a dark  velvety  sheen. 
The  flowers  are  large  and  handsome, 
produced  in  continuous  profusion. 
Very  vigorous,  bushy  grower,  and  be- 
cause of  its  strong  growing  habits  it 
should  not  be  placed  with  other  hybrid 
teas.  Extremely  hardy. 

CRIMSON  QUEEN — A wonderful  gar- 
den or  bedding  rose— bright,  velvety 
crimson.  Strong,  vigorous,  upright 
grower,  always  in  bloom  and  hardy, 
hardy. 

HELENA  CAMBIER— Large,  double, 
beautifully  formed  flowers.  The  col- 
ors are  varying,  ranging  from  salmon- 
rose  to  coppery  rose,  very  often  a 
handsome  saffron  hue.  As  the  flowers 
expand  the  colorg  become  lighter. 


Radiance 

A glorious  new  extra-hardy  Hybrid 
Tea  Rose.  Awarded  Silver  Medal  as 
the  best  bedding  Rose.  The  flowers 
are  a beautiful  blending  of  shades  of 
carmine-rose,  with  opal  and  coppery 
reflections.  It  is  of  splendid,  sturdy 
growth,  constantly  in  bloom.  A lead- 
ing garden  Rose.  We  cannot  say  too 
much  in  its  praise. 

RICHMOND.  Wonderfully  free  bloom- 
ing, its  immense,  fragrant,  scarlet- 
crimson  flowers  are  borne  on  long, 
stiff  stems.  Strong  grower.

Pink  Killarney 


Rhea  Reid 


Yellow  Killarney 


[Francis  Scott  Key 


This  American  production,  named  in  honor  of 
the  author  of  our  national  anthem,  is  a credit  to 
its  name.  It  is  by  far  the  most  popular  red  rose, 
for  its  glowing  colors,  its  remarkable  size,  its 
fullness,  its  perfection  of  form,  make  it  a greatly 
prized  variety.  The  color  is  a rich,  glowing  scar- 
let, with  darker  shadings,  becoming  darker  as  the 
flower  ages.  It  is  a continuous  bloomer,  produc- 
ing its  immense  blooms  on  stout  stems  in  great 
profusion.  The  growth  is  excellent  and  the  fo- 
liage heavy,  little  troubled  with  disease.  Very 
hardy. 


Kaiserin  Augusta  Victoria 

The  greatest  hardy,  Avhite  Hybrid  Tea  Rose  in 
existence.  A strong,  sturdy  grower ; free-flower- 
ing; it  has  become  the  most  popular  of  all  white 
Roses  for  general  planting.  Continuously  from 
early  spring  until  late  fall,  with  pointed  buds, 
the  large,  double  flowers  are  glorious  in  their  per- 
fection; borne  on  long  stiff  stems;  delicate  pure 
white,  deliciously  fragrant.  Unexcelled  for  cutt- 
ing; absolutely  hardy.

georgeous  in  appearance,  with  exquisite  growth 
hardiness,  splendid  fragrance,  with  healthy  foli- 
age, color,  fragrance  and  form  of  flower. 


Pink  Killarney 

This,  the  original  introduction,  is  a beautiful 
Hybrid  Tea  Bush  Rose;  strong,  sturdy  and  up- 
right, with  fine,  heavy,  insect-proof  foliage, 
bearing  flowers  that  are  simply  exquisite  in 
form  and  color;  the  bud  is  exceedingly  long 
and  the  flowers  immense  in  size;  color  deep,  bril- 
liant, sparkling  shell-pink;  hardy  everywhere.  The 
bush  is  magnificent  in  growth,  of  good  size  and 
bears  its  beautiful  burden  of  flowers  constantly 
all  summer. 


White  Killarney 

Identical  with  the  parent  variety,  Pink  Killarney, 
of  which  it  is  an  offspring,  except  in  color, 
which  is  glistening  white.  Like  Pink  Killar- 
ney, its  great  charm  lies  in  the  beautiful  shape 
of  its  buds,  so  distinctive  that  everyone  recog- 
nizes it  as  a Killarney  by  its  shape.

with  immense  petals.  Hardy  and  vigorous,  it 
is  in  constant  bloom  all  summer.

Jonkheer  J.  L.  Mock 

American  Legion 

This  rose  is  an  American  produc- 
tion, but  is  not  as  well  known  as  it 
should  be.  The  color  is  a pleasing 
shade  of  cerise,  which  is  retained  un- 
til the  petals  fall.  Well  formed  buds, 
produced  on  long  stems,  make  it  a 
fine  rose  for  cutting.  Heavy,  disease 
resistant  foliage,  little  troubled  with 
insects.  Strong  grower,  and  free 
bloomer.  Awarded  first  prize  for  the 
best  new  rose  in  1920. 

National  Emblem 

Color  a deep  crimson,  overlaid  crim- 
son, shading  to  vermilion  toward  the 
edges.  Buds  long  and  pointed,  on  stout 
stems,  opening  full  and  double,  each 
one  coming  to  perfection,  and  pro- 
duced in  profusion.  Plants  make  a 
gorgeous  sight,  because  of  the  bright 
blooms  and  the  mildew  proof  foliage.

Famous  Jeannette  Heller  Rose 

Some  Good  Reasons  Why  Jeannette  Heller  is  the  One  Best  Rose 
for  American  Gardens 

Always  in  Bloom — The  prime 
requisite  of  any  rose  is  to 
bloom  abundantly.  Jeannette 
Heller  blooms  literally  all  the 
time  and  the  first  year,  no 
difference  the  size  or  price 
of  the  plant. 

Healthiest  of  All  Roses — 

Jeannette  Heller  has  one 
most  important  point  to  a 
degree  found  in  no  other 
Rose  and  that  is  healthy 
growth.  That  is  why  it  blooms 
so  freely. 

Grows  Luxuriantly  Every- 
where— Jeannette  Heller  is 
not  partial  to  any  particular 
section  of  the  country,  it 
grows  sturdily  and  beauti- 
fully everywhere.  We  have 
seen  it  still  in  bloom  while 
covered  with  ice  and  sleet. 

Perfectly  Hardy — You,  who 
live  where  the  climate  is  rig- 
orous and  extremely  cold,  can 
have  beautiful  Roses  just  as 
perfect  as  if  you  were  in  a 
southern  climate.  It  is  abso- 
lutely hardy  everywhere  with 
protection. 

Superb  in  Color — The  color  is  indescribable,  a beautiful  blending  of  shell-pink 
in  the  center  shading  off  to  rosy  blush  and  pale  yellow;  sometimes  creamy  yel- 
low and  pale  white  or  pearl;  then  again  almost  pure  pink;  buds  long  and 
pointed  and  of  immense  size. 

Strongest  Grower — This  is  where  the  strong  root-system  and  perfect  foliage 
of  Jeannette  Heller  make  it  invaluable.  Has  the  vigor  of  an  oak. 

Insect-Proof — No  insect  ever  bothers  it.  It  has  massive  leather-like  foliage 
that  affords  no  comfort  or  refuge  for  insects  of  any  kind. 

Needs  no  Petting — No  matter  what  kind  of  soil  you  plant  it  in — It  grows! 
All  you  need  to  do  is  to  plant  it — then  cut  flowers  from  it  almost  every  day 
from  early  May  until  freezing  weather. 

Grows  Where  Others  Fail — You  may  think  your  soil  or  situation  is  not  suited 
to  Rose  growing.  Set  aside  such  misgivings  and  plant  Jeannette.  It  will 
grow  where  weeds  grow — in  any  soil  or  climate'. 

Splendid  in  the  North — You  folks  in  the  extremely  cold  climate  who  wish 
for  your  own  Roses  can  gratify  that  wish.  Plant  Jeannette  Heller.  It  will 
grow  to  perfection  no  matter  where  you  live. 

Superb  in  the  West — All  through  the  Middle  West  and  southwestern  country 
it  is  growing  and  blooming  its  way  into  the  hearts  of  all  who  are  fortunate 
enough  to  possess  it. 


“WOULD  NOT  GIVE  JEANNETTE  HELLER  FOR 
TEN  OTHER  ROSES  COMBINED !n 

Last  Spring  I purchased  a star  size  Jeannette  Heller  rose 
from  you  and  its  growth  this  season  has  been  wonderful.  It  has 
bloomed  constantly  ever  since  June  and  now  has  more  than  two 
dozen  nice  buds  on  it.  This  morning  I cut  three  of  the  most  beau- 
tiful roses  I ever  saw  growing  on  a bush.  I have  ten  different 
roses  of  the  best  I could  purchase,  but  I want  to  say  J eannette 
Heller  is  in  a class  by  itself.  I would  not  give  it  for  all  the  other 
ten  combined! — M.  M.  Moser,  Hamilton,  Ohio. 


Price — Strong,  first  size  plants,  35c  each,  3 for  $1.00;  $3.00  per  dozen.  Extra 
large,  two-year-old  plants,  with  soil  on  roots,  $1.00  each,  $10.00  per  dozen,

Lady  Hillingdon 


Souv.  de  Pierre 
Notting 

This  beautiful  Rose  is  an  introduc- 
tion of  one  of  the  largest  firms  of 
France,  and  has  not  been  exceeded 
by  any  Rose  from  that  country.  It 
is  of  strong,  bushy  habit,  and  has 
won  numerous  gold  medals  and  awards 
of  merit.  The  flowers  are  very  large, 
well  filled  and  open  easily ; color  apri- 
cot-yellow, tinged  with  golden  and 
mixed  with  orange-yellow ; edge  of 
petal  shaped  carmine-rose.  In  form 
and  beauty  it  is  the  equal  of  Maman 
Cochet,  and  by  many  is  regarded  as 
the  best  all-around  Rose  for  general 
cultivation.  It  is  hardy  and  always  in 
bloom. 

THE  BRIDE- — There  is  no  other  white 
Rose  more  satisfactory  than  the  Bride. 
The  buds  and  flowers  are  unusually 
large,  well  formed  and  deliciously 
perfumed.  When  planted  in  the  open 
ground  the  flowers  are  sometimes 
found  to  be  delicately  tinted  with 
pink,  'making  it  exceedingly  attractive. 
It  is  of  a strong  and  healthy  growth, 
and  a profuse  bloomer.  Its  blooms 
are  of  the  most  suitable  form  and 
quality  for  cut  flowers. 

MRS.  B.  R.  CANT — Especially  recom 
mended  for  outdoor  cultivation  as 
one  of  the  best,  if  not  the  best,  Rose 
of  its  class  and  color  now  in  cultiva- 
tion. Exceedingly  hardy,  producing 
in  marvelous  profusion  deep  crimson- 
pink  flowers  with  silvery  rose  center, 
perfectly  double,  delightfully  fragrant. 
RED  MAMAN  COCHET  (Helen 
Gould) — A Rose  will  grow  and  give 
satisfaction  in  almost  any  soil  or  sit- 
uation. It  produces  flowers  in  amaz- 
ing profusion,  on  long,  strong  shoots. 
The  flowers  are  very  full,  perfectly 
double;  buds  long  and  pointed.  Color, 
warm,  rosy  crimson. 


Lady  Hillingdon 

One  of  the  latest  introductions 
of  the  Tea  class  and  has  taken 
the  medal  over  all  yellow  Roses, 
the  color  being  one  almost  beyond 
description,  apricot-yellow,  shaded 
to  orange  on  the  outer  edge  of  the 
petals,  becoming  deeper  and  more 
intense  toward  the  center  of  the 
bloom.  Buds  are  produced  on  long, 
strong  wiry  stems,  well  above  the 
foliage  giving  a slender  and  grace- 
ful effect.  A strong,  hearty,  heal- 
thy grower. 

Marie  Guillot 

The  Queen  of  White  Roses.  The 
color  is  pure  white,  sometimes 
faintly  tinged  pale  yellow.  The 
flowers  are  beautifully  made,  very 
large,  full  and  double;  the  buds 
are  very  pretty,  of  sweet  fra- 
grance.

yellow  Rose  to  our  customers  as  one

in  the  greatest  abundance  throughout 
the  entire  season.  Splendid  foliage. 
Seldom  diseased.  Strong  grower  and 
hardy. 

BRIDESMAID — This  variety  is  valu- 
able for  cutting  and  does  finely  in  the 
open  ground ; a sport  from  the  old 
and  popular  pink  Tea  Catherine  Mer- 
met,  but  of  a fine,  clear,  dark  pink, 
much  deeper  and  more  constant  in 
color  than  Mermet. 

MAMAN  COCHET — A most  magni- 
ficent snow-white  Rose,  with  some- 
times a faint  tinge  of  pale  blush, 
It  has  the  same  freedom  of  bloom  as 
the  Pink  Cochet,  the  same  magnifi- 
cnt  form  of  buds  and  flowers,  and  the 
same  hardiness — standing  at  the  very 
head  of  all  Roses  as  the  best  white 
kind  for  open  ground  culture.  Vigor- 
ous as  an  oak  and  hardy  everywhere.

pointed,  showing  depth  and  richness

Climbing  Hybrid  Tea  Roses 


These  climbing  roses  are  noted  for  the  exquis- 
ite beauty  of  their  flowers,  equalling  the  Hybrid 
Teas.  They  are  strong  growing,  vigorous,  and 
bloom  freely  all  summer.  They  are  not  as  hardy 
as  the  climbers  described  in  a former  part  of  this 
book,  yet  they  survive  the  coldest  winters  in  the 
district  of  Philadelphia  without  the  slightest  at- 
tention and  with  protection  can  withstand  very 
severe  weather.  In  the  warmer  sections  of  the 
country,  they  fairly  run  riot  in  their  glory  of 
bloom,  and  present  the  most  wonderful  display 
of  beauty  imaginable. 

Nowhere  can  you  find  a more  complete  list  of 
these  roses.  For  years  we  have  maintained  an 
exceedingly  large  stock.  And  all  these  plants  are 
on  their  own  roots,  which  of  course  means  per-

Hyacinths 

The  favorite  spring-blooming  flower  is 
the  Hyacinth,  with  its  gigantic  spikes  of 
bell-like  flowers,  its  exquisite  coloring 
and  rich  fragrance. 

Our  growers  in  Holland  recommend 
our  list  of  varieties,  and  color  mixtures 
as  absolutely  the  best  of  all  known  kinds. 
They  are  truly  magnificent  in  georgeous 
beauty.  For  bedding,  outdoors,  for  forc- 
ing in  pots,  or  for  growing  in  glasses 
they  are  without  peer.  All  large  first 
class  blooming  bulbs.  Delivery  about 
October  15th. 

CULTURE  OF  HYACINTHS 

Outdoors. — Follow  the  same  general 
directions  as  for  Tulips,  but  plant  the 
bulbs  any  time  in  the  fall  before  the 
ground  freezes,  covering  them  with  4 
inches  of  soil  and  setting  them  6 to  7 
inches  apart.  An  inch  of  sand  under  each 
bulb  will  be  a great  benefit. 

Indoors. — Pot  the  bulbs  singly  in  5 
or  6-inch  pots,  or  three  bulbs  in  a 7- 
inch  pot.  Mix  the  soil  with  sand  _ and 
set  the  bulbs  so  that  one-third  of  it  is 
above  the  surface.  Give  them  weak  man- 
ure-water when  the  flower-spikes  appear. 

In  Glasses. — Set  the  bulb  so  that  it 
just  touches  the  water.  Set  away  in  a 
cool,  dark  cellar,  until  the  glass  is  full 
of  roots,  then  bring  to  the  light  and 
heat.  Change  the  water  every  three  or 
four  days.

10  Famous  Heller  Roses  for  $2.00 


Every  year  we  re- 
ceive hundreds  of  let- 
ters asking  us  to  name 
a collection  of  roses 
— of  best  kinds  for 
general  garden  cul- 
ture. In  our  vast 
collection  the  ten  var- 
ieties named  below 
are,  in  our  opinion, 
among  the  best  garden 
roses  for  all  sections 
of  the  country.  Hardi- 
ness, vigorous  growth, 
freedom  of  bloom, 
color  and  beauty  of 
flower,  make  them  a 
most  desirable  collec- 
tion for  amateur 
planting.  They  bloom 
with  the  utmost  free- 
dom and  all  are  bush 
roses  except  the  great 
Paul’s  Scarlet,  a 
climber,  which  comes 
into  bloom  the  second 
year.  No  two  alike, 
in  this  collection  we 
include  our  magnifi- 
cent Jeannette  Heller, 
the  one  best  garden 
rose  in  America.  All  labeled 
to  the  United  States  proper.
