to pro-rate all orders if at the time of digging we find shortages do exist.

We will have an ample supply of Lilacs to offer in the finest varieties; in this list we only offer three
outstanding varieties, namely:

Mrs. Edward Harding, double, bright carmine, big panicles of large, full flowers. This variety was
awarded the special prize founded by Mrs. Edward Harding for the best double red lilac.. .each $2.00

Jan van Tol, single, pure white, very large trusses and extremely large individual flowers; it is a
very good grower and flowers very freely each $1.00

Katherine Havemeyer, double, cobalt blue, flushed mauve; enormous flower of the most perfect shape
with broad, imbricated lobes. One of the handsomest lilacs. each $2.00

Rhododendron hybrids.

We are growing Rhododendron hybrids very successfully in Bridgeton, they are grown without
irrigation and without overhead shading, consequenty they are very hardy. In our September List
we will quote varieties, sizes and prices.

Roses.

Pink Grootendorst (Hybrid Rugosa), a variety similar in every way to the well known F. J. Grooten-
dorst except that Pink Grootendorst flowers with beautiful clear pink clusters; they cover the plants
the whole flowering season. The individual flowers are also somewhat larger and beautifully fringed.
It is absolutely hardy and, in combination with the red Grootendorst will be largely used for planting
in masses or between shrubbery in borders.

Fine plants per 100 $75.00

Half Standard Roses.

Half Standard Roses are excellent material for small gardens. Orleans, a bright geranium-red Baby
Rambler, flowers the whole season ; as it is hardy it needs very little winter protection.

We draw the attention of our customers and friends to the increased facilities to reach our nurseries.
Two companies are running comfortable buses from Philadelphia to Bridgeton via the splendid Dela-
ware River Bridge. In total 16 buses leave Philadelphia every day of the week. They pass our
nurseries which are situated about 34 mile South of Deerfield; tell the driver to let you off at the
nurseries.’
