INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  ORDERING 


Write  your  NAME  AND  ADDRESS  CAREFULLY.  Give  directions  as  to 
whether  we  should  ship  by  express  or  freight.  We  pay  the  delivery  charges  on 
Hardy  Plants,  Roses  and  Vines,  on  orders  of  $2.00  and  up,  to  any  point  within 
300  miles  of  Boulder,  but  not  on  Shrubs,  Evergreens  or  Trees. 

“Made  in  Colorado”  Stock 

It  will  be  to  your  advantage  to  plant  our  Colorado  Grown  Stock,  as  it  is  ac¬ 
climated  and  suited  to  our  climatic  conditions.  Our  Prices  are  as  low  as  any,  de¬ 
livery  will  cost  you  little,  if  anything;  whereas  in  buying  from  the  “east”  you 
will  have  to  pay  the  express  which  is  now  from  thirty  to  fifty  per  cent  higher  than 
ever  before,  and  will  sometimes  double  the  original  cost  of  plants. 

Prices 

Our  prices  are  for  the  best  stock  that  can  be  grown.  The  Stock  is  guaranteed 
to  reach  you  in  good  growing  condition.  Notice  OUR  NEW  PLAN  given  below, 
where  prices  are  quoted  for  lots  of  TWELVE,  THREE  and  for  SINGLE  PLANTS. 
The  “twelve”  prices  will  be  allowed  on  six  of  ONE  KIND.  This  does  not  mean,  for 
instance,  six  Phlox  assorted  varieties,  but  six  Phlox  of  ONE  variety.  Pidces  are 
for  stock  ordered  from  catalogue.  Stock  selected  at  Nursery  will  be  charged  for 
at  its  value. 

A  Present  for  You 

We  are  making  you  a  present  of  TWENTY  FULL  pages  in  our  Handbook. 
Read  on  page  50  what  this  means.  It  is  a  real  present,  and  valuable. 

Our  New  Plan 

Many  people  buy  one  plant  of  a  kind,  which  is  never  satisfactory,  as  it  takes 
three  or  more  plants  of  one  sort  to  make  any  show  in  the  garden,  or  to  furnish 
enough  flowers  for  cutting.  You  will  be  much  better  pleased  with  the  plants,  and 
will  enjoy  them  much  better,  either  in  the  garden,  or  when  cut  for  the  house,  if 
you  buy  six  or  twelve  of  one  kind,  rather  than  buying  one  each  of  six  or  twelve 
different  plants.  Buy  six  or  twelve  of  a  few  sorts  this  year,  and  then  next  season 
add  six  or  twelve  of  some  other  varieties,  in  this  way  you  will  build  up  a  garden 
that  will  afford  you  the  maximum  of  enjoyment.  We  offer  much  lower  prices  for 
THREE,  SIX  or  TW'ELVE  plants  of  one  sort. 

Our  (guarantee 

We  send  out  only  plants  that  are  in  a  good,  healthly,  growing  condition,  and 
guarantee  them  to  reach  you  in  that  condition.  If  you  are  not  satisfied  with  them 
when  received,  return  them  to  us  AT  ONCE  and  we  will  send  others  in  their 
place,  or  return  your  money.  We  do  not  hold  ourselves  responsible  for  your  success 
in  growing  the  plants,  they  will  grow  if  properly  planted  and  given  reasonable  care, 
so  no  complaints  can  be  entertained  unless  made  immediately  upon  receipt  of  the 
stock. 

Terms 

Please  send  money-order  or  check  with  order.  Customers  known  to  us  may 
pay  for  stock  UPON  ITS  ARRIVAL.  We  do  not  carry  monthly  accounts,  but  will 
expect  a  check  for  any  stock  bought  within  a  week  of  its  shipment. 

Size  of  Plants 

Many  eastern  nurseries  send,  out  tiny  plants  that  have  been  grown  in  a  green¬ 
house,  cheaply  produced,  but  not  always  sold  as  cheaply.  They  are  so  small  they 
require  expert  care  to  make  them  grow,  and  most  of  them  would  require  a  year 
to  develop  into  the  size  of  the  plants  we  supply.  We  send  out  strong,  field-grown 
plants,  and  they  will  reach  you  in  a  good  growing  condition,  and  almost  without 
exception  will  bloom  the  first  year.  On  most  varieties  we  can  furnish  large  clumps 
at  an  advanced  price;  prices  upon  application,  as  they  will  vary  on  different 
plants.

The  Sutherland  Garden  Handbook 


BUY  FROM  OUR  HANDBOOK 
IT  IS  THE  IDEAL  WAY 

Buy  from  our  Handbook.  It  is  the  ideal  way.  You 
can  buy  to  better  advantage  this  way  than  from  a 
solicitor,  or  even  at  the  Nursery  itself.  Read  the 
reasons  given  below  and  you  will  agree. 

BUYING  FROM  THE  SOLICITOR 

Solicitors  may  have  their  place,  but  usually  they 
do  not  have  the  information  concerning  the  plants 
you  should  have,  nor  the  time  to  give  it  to  you.  Then 
too,  their  prices  are  necessarily  higher;  it  costs  more 
to  sell  that  wav. 

SEEING  THE  PLANT  IN  BLOOM 

At  first  thought  it  would  occur  to  you  that  seeing 
the  plant  in  bloom  would  be  the  best  means  of  getting 
acquainted  with  it,  and  of  course  it  is  interesting  to 
see  it  first-hand;  but  that  is  not  the  best  way  to  learn 
about  it.  Spend  your  odd  moments  reading  our 
Handbook  and  you  will  learn  more  about  plants  and 
their  habits  than  you  would  by  visiting  all  the  nur¬ 
series  in  the  country. 

SOMETHINGS  YOU  SHOULD  KNOW 
BEFORE  BUYING 

Do  you  know  how  to  prepare  the  ground  for  plant¬ 
ing?  Do  you  know  how  to  plant?  Do  you  know  how 
to  care  for  the  plants  after  they  are  planted?  Do  you 
know  the  various  requirements  of  the  individual 
plants?  Only  expert  gardeners  do;  and  the  solicitor 
or  the  man  at  the  nursery  does  not  have  time  to  give 
you  a  course  in  Gardening.  Our  Handbook  does  just 
that. 

THE  TRUTH  ABOUT  FLOWERS 

Most  catalogues  tell  the  truth,  but  all  do  not  tell 
the  “Whole  Truth”.  We  have  tried  to  do  that;  and 
to  the  best  of  our  knowledge  have  done  so  If  a  plant 
has  a  bad  habit,  we  tell  it  If  it  has  some  individual 
requirement  we  tell  that  also.  Many  plants,  good  in 
their  way,  may  not  be  suited  to  your  garden,  or  for 
your  particular  needs.  Our  Handbook  will  help  you 
decide  that. 


BUY  AT  YOUR  LEISURE 

You  buy  at  your  leisure  from  our  Handbook.  There 
are  only  twenty-four  hours  in  each  day,  and  at  the 
busy  season  the  nurseryman  needs  thirty;  so  if  you 
buy  at  the  Nursery  no  one  has  time  to  give  you  the 
information  about  the  plants  that  you  should  have. 
Our  Handbook  tells  you  everything  you  need  to 
know  about  the  plant;  and  you  can  sit  down  quietly, 
at  your  leisure,  and  select  what  you  need,  not  what 
someone  thinks  you  should  have.  Our  stock  is  care¬ 
fully  packed;  and  is  delivered  to  your  door  without 
any  effort  upon  your  part. 

WHY  YOU  MAY  DEPEND  UPON  THE 
PLANTS  WE  OFFER 

For  nearly  twenty  years  the  writer  has  been  plan¬ 
ning  and  personally  superintending  the  planting  of 
many  of  the  largest  Colorado  Gardens.  These  gardens 
have  been  under  his  personal  observation  for  two  to 
five  years  after  they  have  been  planted,  so  that  he 
has  had  every  opportunity  of  seeing  just  what  the 
various  plants  would  do  under  our  climatic  conditions 
in  the  ordinary  city  garden. 

Although  we  offer  a  very  large  assortment,  the 
varieties  are  all  of  merit,  and  adapted  to  our  condi¬ 
tions;  and  each  year  we  are  trying  out  the  new  varie¬ 
ties,  and  offer  them  for  sale  only  when  we  are  con¬ 
vinced  that  they  are  worthy  of  a  place  in  our  catalogue. 
You  can  depend  upon  what  we  offer. 

Why  Do  We  Use  Botanical  Names? 
There  Is  A  Reason 

On  page  52  you  will  find  a  full  explanation  as  to 
why  we  use  Botanical  Names.  There  is  a  reason; 
and  you  should  know  it. 

TWENTY-TWO  ACRES  OF 
MADE-IN-COLORADO  PLANTS 

We  have  twenty-two  Acres  of  Made-In-Colorado 
Plants  for  you  to  select  from.  They  are  hardy,  grown 
here,  and  adapted  to  our  conditions.

COLORADO 


ACHILLEA— Yarrow 

A  robust  growing  plant,  suitable  for  growing  amongst 
shrubs,  but  should  not  be  planted  with  other  perennials, 
as  it  is  a  rank  grower,  has  small  white  rose-like  flowers 
that  are  very  fine  for  cutting,  much  on  the  order  of  a 
gigantic  Baby  Breath,  blooms  all  summer,  two  feet. 

THE  PEARL.  Large  sprays  of  handsome  white 
rose-like  flowers.  Dozen,  $2.00;  Three,  60c;  One,  25c. 

PERRY’S  WHITE.  A  choice  new  variety  with 
flowers  much  larger  than  The  Pearl.  Dozen,  $2.50; 
Three,  75c;  One,  35c. 

ACONITUM— Monkshood 

Think  of  the  most  intense  blue  you  have  ever  seen 
and  you  will  have  the  blue  of  the  Monkshood.  These 
are  adaptable  flowers,  doing  well  in  either  sun  or  shade. 
They  are  summer  and  autumn  bloomers  with  spikes  of 
beautiful  flowers  somewhat  on  the  order  of  a  giant 
Snapdragon.  Aconite  is  the  “dram  of  poison”  Romeo 
calls  for;  and  as  the  roots  are  poisonous  the  yshould  not 
be  planted  where  they  might  be  mistaken  for  vege¬ 
tables,  and  accidently  eaten. 

FISCHERI.  (Azure  Monkshood).  Dwarf,  18 
inches,  pale  blue  flowers  in  September. 

NAPELLUS.  (Aconite).  3  to  4  feet,  blooming 
in  July  and  August,  large  dark  blue  flowers. 

SPARK’S  VARIETY.  A  new  variety,  and  the 
finest,  30  inches  in  height,  handsome  dark  blue  flowers 
in  June 

Price  of  Aconitum,  Dozen,  $4.50;  Three,  $1.50; 
One,  50c. 

AGROSTEMMA 
See  Lychnis  Coronaria 

AJUGA- — Bungle 

A  most  useful  as  well  as  a  good  flowering  plant, 
Genevensis  makes  a  good  cover  for  Lilies  and  other 
Bulbs;  and  is  a  useful  edging  plant.  Repens  is  one  of 
the  best  ground  covers  we  have,  and  will  grow  where 
it  is  difficult  to  establish  grass.  It  is  a  splendid  plant 
for  covering  bare  spaces  amongst  shrubs,  but  should 
not  be  used  amongst  any  but  the  strongest  growing 
perennials,  as  it  would  soon  run  them  out. 

GENEVENSIS.  Six  to  eight  inches  high,  dense 
spikes  of  blue  flowers. 

REPTANS.  Three  to  four  inches,  with  deep  pur¬ 
ple  flowers. 

Price  of  Ajuga,  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35c. 

ALTHEA- — See  Hibiscus 
ALYSSUM — Alyssum 

SAXATILE  COMPACTUM.  A  fi  ne  plant  for 
the  front  of  the  border,  or  for  rockeries;  has  great 
masses  of  broad,  flat  heads  of  yellow  flowers.  One 
of  our  best  spring  flowers.  Should  be  planted  in  sandy 
soil,  or  on  a  well  drained  rockery,  as  it  will  rot  out  on 
a  wet  soil.  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One  35c. 

ANCHUSA — Bugloss 

ANCHUSA  (Bugloss).  Giant  For-Get-Me^Not. 

Real  blue  flowers  are  scarce;  here  are  some  of  the 
best,  the  foliage  is  rather  coarse,  and  they  should  be 
planted  amongst  shrubs,  where  their  intense,  sky-blue 
flowers  show  up  to  advantage,  height  about  three  feet, 
and  blooming  in  May  and  June. 

DROPMORE  VARIETY.  Rich  gentian-blue 
flowers. 

OPAL.  Splendid  large  flowers  of  a  lustrous  light 
blue. 

What's  In  A  Name 

Giant  For-Get-Me-Nots  would  attract,  but 

ANCHUSA  MYOSOTIDIFLORA,  well,  lots  of 
people  would  be  afraid  to  try  and  pronounce  it,  and 
lose  interest. 

Don’t  pass  up  the  most  beautiful  blue  flower  that 
grows  because  it  has  a  tongue-twisting  name.  This 
is  a  little  plant  about  a  foot  high  with  decorative 
foliage,  and  long  sprays  of  For-Get-Me-Not,  baby 


blue  flowers,  in  a  somewhat  magnified  form.  It  has 
large  quantities  of  these  dainty  little  flowers  for  a 
a  long  time  in  the  spring,  and  is  a  handsome  plant  all 
summer,  with  an  occasional  scattering  of  bloom, 
later.  Because  we  have  had  but  a  limited  stock  of  it 
I  have  been  afraid  to  say  much  about  it  before,  but  we 
now  have  enough  to  supply  all  lovers  of  unusually 
beautiful  flowers.  Price,  Dozen,  $5.00,  Three.  $1.35 
One,  50c. 

Price  of  Anchusa,  except  where  noted,  Dozen,  $3.50; 
Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 

ANEMONE — Anemone 

CANADENSIS.  A  splendid  white  flower  from 
our  eastern  “woods”,  one  foot  in  height,  bearing 
a  profusion  of  pure  white  flowers  in  June  and  July. 
Makes  a  beautiful  effect  amongst  the  shrubs.  Dozen, 
$2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  30c. 

JAPONICA.  (Japanese  Anemone)  One  of  the 

best  of  the  late  summer  and  fall  flowers,  in  bloom 
from  August  to  November.  Should  have  a  rich  soil, 
and  be  left  undisturbed,  as  the  flowers  increase  in 
size  and  beauty  each  year.  Makes  a  lovely  effect 
when  planted  with  ferns,  and  does  well  in  sun  or  shade, 
but  must  be  kept  moist.  We  have  it  in  a  pure  white 
and  a  delicate  pink.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00; 
One,  40c. 


Aerial  Grace  of  the  White  Columbine 


ANTHEMIS— Camomile 

This  sounds  like  medicine,  but  it  is  an  attractive, 
golden-yellow,  daisy-like  flower,  about  fifteen  inches 
tall,  and  in  bloom  most  of  the  summer.  Falstaff  points 
a  moral  in  the  “lowly  camomile”. 


l 


THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


KELWAY’S  CAMOMILE.  A  much  improved 
variety  introduced  by  one  of  the  famous  English 
hybridizers;  splendid  golden-yellow,  daisy-like  flowers 
Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 

TINCTORIA  (Yellow  Camomile).  Handsome, 
finely  cut  foliage,  and  large  bright  yellow  flowers. 
Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35. 

Our  State  Flower,  The  Blue 

Columbine,  Is  Fast  Disappearing 

In  many  parts  of  our  mountains  where  the  Columbine 
was  formerly  found,  by  the  thousands  it  is  to  be  seen  no 
more.  Vandals,  some  of  them  merely  thoughtless,  others 
with  a  commercial  instinct,  are  stripping  our  Aspen 
groves  of  this  beautiful  flower.  All  patriotic  Colo¬ 
radoans,  and  all  flower  lovers;  should  help  save  our 
state  flower.  Although  we  have  many  hundreds  of  this 
plant  in  our  nursery,  grown  from  seed  gathered  on  our 
own  mountain  ranch,  we  are  not  offering  it  for  sale. 
The  writer  was  appointed  chairman  of  the  Columbine 
Conservation  Committee  of  the  Associated  Advertising 
Clubs,  to  organize  a  campaign  for  the  protection  of  our 
State  Flower,  and  in  order  to  be  consistent  we  are  not 
offering  it  for  sale.  Grow  the  garden  varieties  of  the 
Columbine,  our  Pink  shades  are  exquisite,  and  leave 
our  native  blue  for  the  mountains,  where  its  dainty 
blue  and  white  aireness  is  so  appropriate.  All  Clubs 
of  the  State  are  invited  to  co-operate  in  a  State-wide 
campaign  for  the  preservation  of  Colorado' s  State  Flower, 
the  most  beautiful  wild  flower  in  the  world. 

AQUILEGIA — Columbine 

The  Columbine,  our  state  flower,  is  too  well  known  to 
need  description.  Few,  however,  are  acquainted  with 
the  beauties  of  the  new  hybrids;  they  come  in  the  most 
delicate  shades  of  pink,  blue,  yellow  and  white.  Try 
a  few.  You  will  be  delighted  with  them.  Two  feet. 

CHRYSANTHA.  A  golden  yellow  everblooming 
variety. 

CHRYSANTHA  ALBA.  A  pure  white  flower. 

SILVER  QUEEN.  An  exquisite  shade  of  rose,  with 
long  spurs.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  35c. 

SUTHERLAND  LONG  SPURRED  HYBRIDS. 
Lovely  colors  running  through  shades  of  cream, 
pink,  lavender,  blue  and  white,  hardly  two  alike. 

SUTHERLAND  CHOICE  PINK  SHADES.  A 
selection  of  the  choicest  pink  shades,  the  finest  of 
all  the  Columbines,  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00; 
One,  35c. 

Price  of  Aquilegia,  except  where  noted,  Dozen, 
$2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  30c. 

ARABIS — Rock  Cress 

The  most  delightful  of  our  early  spring  flowers, 
coming  into  bloom  before  the  snow  has  gone.  We 
have  seen  it  buried  beneath  a  foot  of  snow  and  come 
out  as  fresh  as  a  daisy.  A  mass  of  pure  white  flowers 
all  spring.  Six  inches.  A  splendid  ground  cover  for 
Lilies,  Narcissus,  Tulips,  etc.  Price,  Dozen,  $2.50; 
Three,  75c;  One,  35c. 

ARUNDO  DONAX— See  Grasses 
ARMERIA — See  Statice 


THE  BEST  TALL  WHITE  FLOWER 

“ Artemisia ”  is  not  an  attrative  name,  and  “  Worm¬ 
wood"  is  suggestive,  but,  take  my  word  for  it,  it  IS  the 
best  tall  white  garden  flower. 

ARTEMISIA— Wormwood 

LATIFLORA.  Call  it  White  Golden  Rod  and 
you  will  think  it  one  of  the  most  attractive  tall  grow¬ 
ing  plants  you  have  seen.  It  grows  three  to  five  feet 
in  height,  has  attractive  foliage,  and  when  in  flower 
in  the  late  summer  and  early  autumn  there  is  no 
white  flower  in  the  garden  that  compares  with  it; 
if  left  to  dry  makes  a  most  picturesque  effect  in  the 
arden  all  winter.  Use  as  a  background  for  other 
owers,  and  amongst  shrubs,  but  do  not  plant  in 
shade.  Good  cutting  flower.  •  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c; 
One,  35c. 

ASCLEPIAS — Butterfly  Flower 

TUBEROSA.  Showy  umbels  of  brilliant  orange 
flowers  in  July  and  August.  1  to  2^  feet.  To  be  at 
its  best  should  be  in  a  sandy  soil  and  a  warm  location. 
Price,  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35c. 


Something  New 

Be  sure  and  not  overlook  reading  about  our  Astibles. 


Our  New  Astible 
One  of  Our  Most  Gorgeous  Flowers 


ASITBLE 

If  you  want  something  different,  and  at  the  same 
time  beautiful,  try  a  few  of  our  new  Astibles.  These 
are  the  beautiful  pink  and  white  flowers  sold  by  the 
florists  at  Easter;  but  they  are  just  as  much  at  home 
in  the  garden.  They  do  well  in  either  sun  or  shade, 
but  are  at  their  best  in  partial  shade,  and  though 
they  are  at  home  in  any  good  garden  soil  they  will 
grow  much  more  luxuriously  in  a  rich  soil  with  plenty 
of  water.  No  garden  flower  we  have  is  more  dainty 
or  beautiful.  2  to  3  feet,  June  and  July.  For  good  re¬ 
sults  large  three  year  clumps  are  the  best,  and  these 
are  what  we  offer. 

GLORIA.  Brilliant  dark  pink,  shaded  lilac. 

PINK  PEARL.  Delicate  pink. 

VESTA.  Lilac-rose. 

Price  of  Astible.  Three,  $2.00;  One,  75c. 

HARDY  ASTERS — Michaelmas  Daisy 

For  fall  effects  the  Aster  is  one  of  our  most  attractive 
hardy  plants;  it  has  wonderful  masses  of  bloom  in 
September  and  October;  in  shades  of  white,  pink,  laven¬ 
der  and  purple;  combined  with  Boltonia,  Artemisa, 
Golden  Rod  and  Helenium,  it  is  quite  gorgeous.  Novi- 
belgi  varieties  may  be  grown  in  partial  shade,  others 
should  have  full  sun.  They  should  be  divided  and  re¬ 
planted  every  year  or  two.  Do  not  confuse  these  with 
the  annual  aster;  they  are  in  no  way  similar. 

ELTA.  A  new  variety  with  large  semi-double  flow¬ 
ers  of  deep  lavender,  one  of  the  brightest  colors,  and 
a  splendid  keeper  when  cut.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $  1 .00; 
One,  40c. 

LADY  LLOYD.  Another  new  variety  with  fine 
clear  rose  pink  flowers,  lasts  well.  Dozen,  $3.50; 
Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c.

One  of  the  new  plants,  and  properly  a  shrub,  but 
as  it  has  to  be  cut  to  the  ground  each  spring  we  class 
it  with  hardy  plants.  It  has  most  attractive,  long 
racemes  of  Lilac-like  flowers  from  July  almost  until 
frost,  and  cannot  be  surpassed  for  cutting;  is  a  great 
attraction  for  the  butterflies.  Comes  from  the  root

ful  in  foliage  and  flower,  flowers  creamy  white,  grow¬ 
ing  6  to  8  feet,  adapted  for  planting  in  shrubbery,  etc. 

This  is  the  description  I  read  in  most  catalogues: 
I  dig  it  out  whenever  I  find  it  in  a  garden,  but  have 
some  plants  on  hand  if  you  wish  them.  It’s  a  good 
plant — if  you  like  it.  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c; 
One,  35c. 


BOLTONIA — False  Camomile

blooming  earlier,  furnishing  the  garden  with  a  sea  of 
bloom  during  the  late  summer  and  early  autumn 
months.  Fine  for  cutting.  Asteroides  combine  well  with 
Salvia  Azurea  and  Heleniums;  also  with  the  Hardy 
Sunflowers.

LATISQUAMA.  Light  pink,  four  feet. 

LATISQUAMA  NANA.  Every  one  who  fs  familiar

not  grow  so  tall,  so  that  it  might  be  used  towards 
the  centre  of  the  border,  where  a  real  tall  plant  would 
be  out  of  place.  We  now  have  it  in  this  new  variety, 
a  semi-dwarf  plant,  18  inches  to  2  feet,  has  all  the 
delightful  qualities  of  the  taller  sort.  Dozen,  $3.50;

DO  YOU  LIKE  BLUE  FLOWERS f 

Good,  blue  flowers  are  scarce;  the  Campanulas  are 
amongst  the  best.  Be  sure  and  not  overlook  them. 

CAMPANULA— Bellflower 

Beautiful  bell-shaped  flowers  with  great  variety  of 
height  and  form,  from  dainty  little  plants  not  much 
over  six  inches  in  height,  to  ones  tall  and  stately  in 
habit. 

With  the  exception  of  the  Canterbury  Bells  all  are 
true  perennials;  and  all  are  handsome  and  amongst  the 
finest  of  our  blue  flowers. 

Campanulas  do  best  in  a  rich  soil,  and  though 
perfectly  at  home  in  full  sun,  the  flowers  will  last 
longer  if  planted  in  half  shade.  They  do  well  amongst 
shrubs,  or  where  they  have  some  shade  from  trees. 

CARPATICA.  (Carpathian  Harebell).  A  very 
pretty  dwarf  species,  not  exceeding  eight  inches 
in  height;  flowers  clear  blue,  held  erect  on  wiry  stems, 
begins  blooming  in  June  and  continues  until  October. 
A  good  plant  for  the  front  of  the  border  or  the  rockery. 

CARPATICA  ALBA.  A  pure  white  form  of  the 
Carpathian  Harebell,  very  dainty. 

ELEGANS.  Lilac  flowers  of  fine  form,  good  for 
either  borders  or  rockeries.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three, 
$  1 .00;  One,  40c. 

GLOMERATA.  One  of  the  old  favorites  with 
deep  purple  flowers  in  la*ge  close  heads.  June  and 
J  uly,  one  foot. 

If  you  want  a  mass  of  purple  in  your  garden  do 
not  miss  this;  it  is  one  of  the  most  satisfactory  plants 
grown. 

LATIFOLIA  MACRANTHA.  Enormous  droop¬ 
ing  bells  of  fine  satiny  lilac  and  deep  purple  shades.

CYPRIPEDIUM — Lady  Slipper 

ORCHID.  Lady  Slipper.  Cypripedium  spectabile 

One  of  the  most  delightful  wild  flowers  of  the  eastern 
woods  is  the  Pink  Lady  Slipper.  Most  people  are  not 
aware  of  the  fact  that  it  can  be  grown  as  easily  as  a 
fern,  and  that  it  is  perfectly  at  home  in  any  garden  if 
given  the  proper  place  and  soil.  It  should  have  almost 
dense  shade;  I  grow  it  back  of  some  tall  shrubs  where 
it  only  has  tfie  light  from  the  north,  and  it  is  growing 
in  ordinary  light  garden  soil,  but  would  do  much  better 
if  given  leaf  mould.  You  can  grow  it. 

all  who  saw  it  in  bloom  this  summer  fell  in 
love  with  it.  Single  plants,  One,  50c;  Three,  $1.50; 
Dozen,  $5.00.  We  also  have  clumps  from  75c  to  $1.00 
each. 

“ PAINTED  LADIES’’  are  the  vogue  just  now ;  we 
have  some  beautiful  ones  in  Pink,  Red  and  White.  They 
used  to  be  called  Pyrethrum,  but  are  now  Chrysanthemum 
Coccineum. 

CHRYSANTHEMUM  COCCINEUM 
Painted  Lady 

A  beautiful  garden  flower,  much  like  the  Shasta 
Daisy,  but  more  loosely  constructed,  and  in  shades 
of  pink,  red,  white  and  mixed  colors.  Give  it  a  rich 
soil  and  plenty  of  well  rotted  manure.  See  illustra¬ 
tion  on  page  six.  Dozen,  $3.00;  Three,  $1.00;  One, 
35c.  Red,  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  Si. 00;  One,  40c. 


“Mum's"  the  Word 


Mums  the  word  when  you  want  some  brilliant 
color  in  your  Fall  Garden.  Plant  Sutherland  Hardy 
Mums — Chrysanthemums ;  in  spite  of  early  frost  you 
should  have  flowers  three  to  four  years  out  of  five. 

HARDY  CHRYSANTHEMUMS 

This  is  the  choicest  of  our  Hardy  Fall  Flowers,  com¬ 
ing  after  most  flowers  are  gone,  and  again  furnishing  us 
with  a  wealth  of  color.  Some  varieties  start  blooming 
early,  and  continue  until  cut  down  by  heavy  freezes. 
Eva  is  in  bloom  in  September,  Carmelite,  Canary 
Bird  and  Bronze  Beauty  in  October,  and  all  the  va¬ 
rieties  we  offer  can  usually  be  depended  upon  to  bloom 
before  the  heavy  freezes.  The  eady  frost,  unless  ac¬ 
companied  by  a  freezing  snow  will  not  injure  them; 
and  should  a  heavy  freeze  occur  a  slight  protection  for 
a  few  nights  will  assure  bloom.  Last  fall  we  cut  a 
lot  of  blooms  in  November,  placed  them  in  water  in  the 
cellar,  and  had  flowers  for  the  house  until  after  the 
middle  of  December.  Nothing  finer  for  cut  flowers. 
Don't  fail  to  plant  some  “Mums.”  We  send  out  strong 
plants  that  will  bloom  this  season.

This  favorite  of  the  old  fashioned  garden,  too 
well  known  to  need  description,  well  repays  a  little 
extra  care.  Spade  in  some  well-rotted  manure  when 
making  the  bed,  and  each  fall  or  spring  give  a  top

More  Lovely  Blue  Flowers 

No  garden  is  complete  without  the  lovely  Delphi- 
neum,  or  Hardy  Larkspur .  Some  of  the  finest  blues  of 
our  gardens  are  found  amongst  the  Sutherland  Hybrid 

Delphineum. 


DELPHINEUM — Hardy  Larkspur 

The  Hardy  Larkspur  is  the  finest  of  our  hardy  blue 
flowers;  has  large  spikes  of  beautiful  flowers  in  shades 
of  blue;  blooms  in  June  and  if  cut  will  furnish  new  crops 
of  flowers  during  the  summer  and  fall.  Three  to  .five 
feet.  As  soon  as  the  first  crop  of  flowers  has  faded 


remove  the  centre  spike  to  prevent  seeds  forming, 
and  side  shoots  will  come  from  the  base  and  furnish 
a  second  crop  of  bloom.  Dig  in  some  well  rotted  manure 
after  blooming,  as  Delphineums  are  heavy  feeders. 
The  Sutherland  Hybrids  are  amongst  the  choicest  to 
be  found. 

If  you  notice  the  leaves  starting  to  curl  when  the 
plant  is  a  few  inches  high,  spray  with  a  nicotine  prep¬ 
aration;  red  aphis  sometimes  attacks  the  plant  early  in 
the  summer. 

BELLADONNA.  Delicate  torquoise-blue. 

SUTHERLAND  HYBRIDS.  A  choice  assort¬ 
ment  of  many  beautiful  shades  of  blue.

Dozen,  $7.50;  Three,  $2.00;  One,  75c. 

DIANTHUS— Hardy  Pink 

The  Pinks  are  delightful  little  plants  for  edgings, 
with  clean,  attractive  foliage  and  lovely  flowers  of 
various  shades  of  pink,  red  and  white,  some  of  them 
deliciously  fragrant.  Deltoides  makes  an  attractive 
edging,  a  good  cover  for  lilies  and  other  bulbs  and  for 
use  on  the  rockery.  Plumarius,  the  old  fashioned 
garden  pinks,  with  the  spicy  fragrance,  are  amongst 
the  best  for  edgings,  as  the  foliage  is  held  almost  all 
winter,  and  being  of  a  different  hue  from  other  greens 
of  the  garden  it  makes  a  most  attractive  effect  at  all 
times.  After  blooming  these  should  be  sheared  to  the 
ground,  when  a  new  growth  of  neat  looking  foliage 
will  appear  and  be  held  throughout  the  winter.  If 
you  enjoy  a  garden  of  “Sweet  Smells”  plant  some 
Pinks. 

CAESIUS.  (Chedder  Pink).  One  of  the  nattiest, 
and  prettiest  of  the  dwarf  pinks,  with  rosy,  fragrant 
flowers  in  spring,  on  six  inch  stems.  Very  fine  for 
rockeries  and  on  walls,  or  along  steps. 

DELTOIDES.  (Maiden  Pink).  A  beautiful  lit¬ 
tle  plant  with  narrow  leaves,  and  a  great  profusion 
of  small  crimson  flowers  in  June  and  July.  A  splendid 
plant  for  the  front  of  the  border,  or  for  the  rockery. 

DELTOIDES  ALBUS.  A  charming  white  form 
of  the  above  variety. 

PLUMARIUS.  (Grass  Pink).  The  old-fashion¬ 
ed  fringed  kind  with  a  delightful  clove  fragrance;  the 
flowers  range  in  color  from  white  to  delicate  pink 
and  rich  crimson. 

PLUMARIUS,  HER  MAJESTY.  A  fine  double 
white  sort,  sweetly  fragrant,  and  a  fine  “button-hole” 
flower. 

PLUMARIUS,  ESSIX  WITCH.  A  similar  variety 
with  bright  pink  flowers. 

DOUBLE  CLUSTER  PINK.  A  most  striking 
Pink,  resembling  a  giant  Sweet  William.  The  flowers 
are  a  brilliant,  deep  scarlet,  double,  and  borne  freely 
all  summer.  One  of  the  most  satisfactory  of  the  Pinks. 
Dozen,  $3.00;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  35c.

DIANTHUS  BARBATUS 
Sweet  Willie  m 

Though  a  flower  of  the  old  fashioned  garden  the 
Sweet  William  is  not  as  often  seen  in  our  gardens  as  it 
should  be.  It  is  one  of  the  brightest  of  our  flowers, 
and  if  the  faded  blossoms  are  removed  it  will  continue 
in  bloom  until  fall. 

PINK  BEAUTY.  A  beautiful  Salmon  Pink. 

SCARLET  BEAUTY.  Rich,  deep  scarlet,  very 
fine. 

WHITE  BEAUTY.  Pure  white.

These  hardy  Golden  Daisies  bloom  very  early  in  the 
spring  when  flowers  are  scarce.  Their  bright  blossoms

endure  for  a  longer  period  than  any  other  spring  flow'er.

A  Bouquet  Of  Grass  Plumes  Cut  For  Winter 
Decoration  (Miscanthus  Sinensis) 


HARDY  ORNAMENTAL  GRASSES 

The  Hardy  Grasses  are  indispensable  in  making 
Garden  Pictures,  their  airy,  graceful  foliage  blending  in 
beautifully  with  the  flowers  and  shrubs.  No  garden  is 
complete  without  them.  They  vary  in  height  from  two 
to  ten  feet,  so  are  adapted  to  the  smallest  or  the  largest 
garden.  Towards  fall  all  of  them  have  beautiful  plume¬ 
like  heads  which  keep  in  good  condition  all  winter  in 
either  house  or  garden.  No  plant  we  have  to  offer  will 
give  you  greater  pleasure. 

The  plumes  if  cut  just  after  opening  make  attractive 
bouquets  for  winter,  and  will  keep  in  good  shape  for 
many  months,  can  be  colored.  The  grass  formerly 
known  as  Eulalia  is  now  called  Miscanthus.

The  plumes  if  cut  just  as  they  are  opening  and  dried 
will  keep  all  winter.  They  make  splendid  winter  bou¬ 
quets  when  used  with  Sea  Lavender,  Globe  Thistle,  Sea 
Holly  and  Tamarix.  Did  you  know  the  Tamarix  blos¬

Sutherland  Garden  Iris 

Don’t  have  a  garden  without  the  Iris.  It  has  a 
peculiar  charm  that  appeals  irresistably  to  those  of 
refined  taste.  Its  soft  iridescent  colorings  and  its  frrail 
orchid-like  formations  are  so  rare  and  etherial  in  their 
beauty  it  is  hard  to  believe  that  this  modern  Iris  is  the 
successor  of  the  once  common  “Flag”  of  the  old-fash¬ 
ioned  garden.  Our  collection  of  Iris  will  be  found  one 
of  the  most  comprehensive  in  the  country  and  on

fad  and  we  offer  the  finest  varieties  to  be  had  any- 
where.  “  S”  represents  Standards  or  upright  petals;

Garden  Fireworks 

The  Torch  Lilies  are  so  startlingly  brilliant  they 
might  be  classed  as  Garden  Fireworks  .  While  they 
are  striking,  they  are  also  very  effective  in  the  garden, 
combining  well  with  all  yellows,  and  keep  well  in  water, 
when  cut. 


The  Flaming  Torchlily. 

“Foliosa”  Has  Proved  Absolutely  Hardy  With  Us. 


KNIPHOFIA— Torchlily 

Don’t  be  afraid  of  the  name;  it’s  almost  a  crime  to 
call  this  gorgeous  flower  by  such  a  tonguetwister.  Call 
it  Torchlily.  The  foliage  is  similar  to  that  of  the 
Hemerocallis — grass-like — varying  from  12  inches  to  2 
feet  from  the  centre  of  which  appears  tall  stems  ter¬ 
minating  in  a  spike  of  bloom  that  reminds  one  of  a  Red 
Hot  Poker — if  you  ever  saw  one.  It  is  gorgeous  any¬ 
way.  Does  well  in  any  soil,  but  responds  quickly  to 
liberal  treatment;  should  be  given  some  protection,  or 
taken  up  in  the  fall  and  stored  in  sand.  It’s  worth  any 
amount  of  trouble;  nothing  like  it  in  the  garden.  See 
illustration. 

FOLIOSA.  (Sword  Torchlily).  A  strong  grow¬ 
er,  blooming  in  May.  It  has  immense  flower  cones, 
10  to  12  inches  long  on  3  foot, stems,  orange-red,  shad¬ 
ing  to  yellow  as  bloom  matures.  Does  not  seem 
to  need  protection.  Immense  plants.  Dozen,  $5.00; 
Three,  $1.50;  One,  50c. 

Add  five  cents  per  plant  if  wanted  by  mail. 

PFITZERIANA.  (Bonfire  Torchlily).  An  ever- 

blooming  sort,  from  August  to  October,  spikes  3  to  4 
feet  high,  with  heads  of  bloom  of  a  rich  orange-scarlet; 
makes  a  grand  effect  planted  singly  or  in  masses.

“ Consider  the  Lilies' ’ 

Lilies,  the  most  supurb  flowers  of  the  garden,  have  a 
fascination  for  every  flower-lover ;  but  most  have  denied 
themselves  these  lovely  flowers  owing  to  the  general  im¬ 
pression  that  lilies  are  difficult  to  grow.  They  are  if 
treated  as  you  would  the  general  run  of  plants,  but  they 
can  be  grown  by  anyone  when  their  few  and  simple 
reauirements  are  known  and  met.  YOU  CAN  GROW 
THEM  IN  YOUR  GARDEN. 


Madonna  Lilies  (Lilium  Candidum) 


PLANTING  AND  CARE  OF 
HARDY  LILIES 

A  SOUND  HEALTHY  BULB  IS  THE  FIRST 
REQUISITE.  Bulbs  that  have  been  lying  around  in 
stores  for  an  indefinite  time  have  lost  their  vitality. 
You  can  detect  this  at  once.  A  sound  bulb  is  firm;  a 
flabby  one  is  deteriorating. 

A  LOOSE  LOAMY  SOIL  IS  A  REQUISITE,  and 

it  must  be  free  from  manure  or  fertilizer  of  any  des¬ 
cription  whatever.  Leaf  mould  though  not  an  absolute 
necessity  is  very  beneficial;  but  the  general  condition 
of  the  soil  should  be  open  and  porous. 

GOOD  DRAINAGE  IS  MOST  ESSENTIAL. 

The  bulbs  should  be  set  so  that  there  is  at  least  an 
inch  of  sand  under  and  over  them;  this  keeps  the 
bulbs  surrounded  by  a  dry  pocket  regardless  ot  the 
water  used.  (Swamp  loving  lilies  can  be  grown  by 
being  set  on  top  of  an  inverted  flower  pot,  and  then 
surrounded  with  sharp,  gritty  sand). 

SHADE  FOR  THE  ROOTS  IS  ALSO  VERY 
NECESSARY.  Most  Lilies  should  be  planted  amongst 
low  shrubs,  ferns,  or  should  have  a  protecting  growth 
of  dwarf  plants  over  them,  for  though  they  grow 
naturally  in  the  full  sun,  they  are  always  in  locations 
where  the  ground  is  sheltered  from  the  direct  rays  of 
the  sup.  Phlox  sublata,  Phlox  amoena,  Cerastium, 
Myosotis,  Dwarf  Sedum,  Lvsimachia  Nummulana 
and  Violas,  closely  planted,  are  all  good  ground  covers 


for  this  purpose.  They  should  also  be  given  the  protec¬ 
tion  of  a  mulch  of  leaves,  or  of  THOROUGHLY 
ROTTED  stable  manure  for  winter 

DEPTH  OF  PLANTING.  Lilies  require  deep 
planting.  Chinese  Wilson  gives  as  a  rule  twice  the 
depth  of  the  bulb  itself,  but  we  have  found  that  in 
Colorado  a  greater  depth  is  required,  and  would 
recommend  three  to  four  times  the  depth  of  the  bulb 
We  plant  large  bulbs  of  Auratum  and  Speciosum  eight 
to  ten  inches  deep.  A  large  bulb  of  Lilium  Canadense 
is  less  than  one  inch  high,  but  we  never  plant  them 
less  than  ten  inches  deep,  and  as  deep  as  twelve.  Do 
not  be  afraid  of  deep  planting. 

ANY  AMATEUR  GARDENER  can  provide  in 
any  garden  these  few  simple  requirements.  Do  not 
experiment  with  any  but  the  few  hardy  Lilies  listed 
here,  unless  you  are  an  expert.  “Chinese  Wilson” 
the  acknowledged  authority  on  Lilies  in  this  country, 
only  suggests  two  other  varieties  besides  those  that 
we  list  for  the  amateur  gardener,  unless  he  is  expert 
on  Lilies.  He  states  that  any  good  gardener  carrying 
out  the  essentials  given  above  will  succeed  with  the 
varieties  we  are  offering.

Glorious  Pink  Peonies 


Sutherland's 
Superb 
P  eonies 

Peonies  for  Spring  Planting 


While  fall  is  usually  considered  the  best 
time  to  plant  Peonies ,  spring  is  also  a 
favorable  time.  The  difficulty  about  spring 
planting  has  been  the  fact  that  the  plants 
start  into  growth  so  early,  even  before  the 
frost  is  entirely  out  of  the  ground  that  it 
has  been  impossible  to  dig  them  early 
enough.  Last  fall  we  dug  a  quantity  of  the 
varieties  offered  below,  and  carried  them 
through  the  winter  in  our  storage  cellar, 
so  they  will  be  in  the  best  possible  shape 
for  planting  this  spring.  Carry  out  our 
planting  directions  and  you  are  assured 
of  success. 


Sutherland’s  Fragrant 
Peonies 

We  have  a  very  fine  collection  of 
Peonies,  but  as  they  have  to  be  dug  very 
early  in  the  spring,  we  only  offer  our  full 
collection  for  fall  planting.  The  following 
sorts  we  have  dug  and  can  ship  them  any 
time  during  the  spring  months. 


To  be  successful  with  Peonies  they  should  be  planted 
in  soil  that  is  free  from  any  traces  of  fresh  fertilizer,  and 
should  be  planted  so  that  the  crown  (see  the  red  buds) 
should  not  be  more  than  one,  or  at  the  outside,  two 
inches  below  the  level  of  the  ground.  Deeply  planted 
peonies  will  not  bloom. 

Be  sure  and  send  for  our  Fall  Peony  List.  We  have 


over  a  hundred  of  the  best  standard  varieties,  with 
many  of  the  latest  novelties  and  not  at  Novelty  Prices, 

The  figures  following  the  name,  see  Baroness 
Schroeder,  indicate  the  rating  given  by  the  American 
Peony  Society,  io  would  be  perfect,  9  is  a  VERY  high 
rating.

or  crimson  shades.  Felix  Crousse  fills  the  bill.  Its 
large  globular  flowers;  solid  and  compactly  built  from 
edge  to  center;  are  a  rich,  even  brilliant  dazzling  ruby-

white,  pink  and  salmon;  strong  but  delicate  fragrance. 
50c.

flower.  75  c.

Humming  Birds 

In  Your  Garden 

Would  you  like  to  see  Humming  Birds  in  your  garden, 
every  day,  and  all  day  during  the  summer  months? 
Then  plant  Penstemon.  Last  summer  when  the  Pen- 
stemon  were  in  bloom  I  could  go  out  in  my  garden  any 
time  of  the  day  and  see  numbers  of  Humming  Birds 
darting  from  flower  to  flower,  and  their  greens  making 
as  brilliant  sploches  of  color  as  the  reds  and  pinks  of 
the  Penstemon.  We  now  have  three  distinct  shades  of 
these  lovely  flowers. 

PENSTEMON — Penstemon 

The  Penstemon  should  have  been  called  the  Hum¬ 
mingbird  Flower,  as  the  Hummingbirds  are  always 
very  much  in  evidence  wherever  the  Red  Penstemons 
are  found.  They  are  tall  growing  plants,  2  to  3  feet, 
with  brilliantly  colored  flowers  somewhat  like  giant 
Snapdragon,  borne  in  great  quantities  throughout  the 
entire  summer. 

TORREYI.  Bright  Coral-red  flowers,  a  very  bright 
and  lovely  shade.  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35c.

are  new  varieties  which  I  am  offering  for  the  first 
time.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 

PENSTEMON  DIGITALIS.  Large  spikes  of  white

flowers  of  a  great  variety  of  bright  colors,  rose,  cherry, 
crimson,  etc.,  and  are  in  bloom  from  June  to  Frost. 
We  use  them  for  planting  over  Tulips  and  Narcissus, 
to  fill  in  the  bare  spaces  left  by  the  bulbs,  and  to 
furnish  a  second  crop  of  bloom,  and  for  keeping  a 
constant  display  of  color  in  the  garden.  These  are 
grown  in  pots  and  will  be  ready  for  delivery  about 
June  1  st.  No  orders  will  be  accepted  for  less  than

large  clumps,  and  bearing  long  spikes  of  tubular  formed 
flowers  in  July  and  August.  Virginica  is  somewhat 
weedy,  and  should  only  be  planted  amongst  shrubs, 
or  in  some  place  where  it  will  not  interfere  with  less 
robust  plants.  The  white  form,  Alba,  is  not  weedy, 
nor  has  Vivid  proven  weedy  with  us.

VIRGINICA  ALBA.  A  pure  white  variety,  fine 
for  cutting.

bury  Bell,  but  much  larger,  and  a  true  perennial,  about 
two  and  one-half  feet  in  height,  and  in  bloom  from 
July  to  October,  makes  a  splendid  show  in  the  garden. 
Prefers  a  dry  soil.  See  illustration  page  17.

large  blue  flowers  as  the  Grandiflora  type.

“TO  THROW  A  PERFUME  ON 
THE  VIOLET” 

To  throw  a  perfume  on  the  Violet 
Is  wasteful  and  ridiculous  excess.  — and  it  would  be 
just  as  idle  for  me  to  try  and  enthuse  anyone  regarding 
the  Violet,  as  it  is  already  enshrined  in  every  heart; 
but  I  do  wish  to  impress  on  every  flower  lover  the  fact 
that  there  is  a  great  host  of  Violets  that  can  and  should 
have  a  place  in  every  garden,  from  the  humblest  Back 
Yard  garden  to  the  largest  country  estate.  Be  sure  and 
read  about  Viola  G.  Wermig  <&  Jersey  Gem,  and  for 
fragrance  none  are  superior  to  Princess  of  Wales  and 
Gov.  Herrick.

SUTHERLAND’S  HARDY 
PERENNIAL  PHLOX 

The  Hardy  Phlox  are  the  showiest  of  our  garden 
flowers,  coming  in  many  shades  of  pink,  white,  red  and 
lavender,  and  if  handled  properly  may  be  kept  in  bloom 
from  early  summer  until  late  fall.  After  the  main 
head  of  flowers  has  faded  it  will  send  out  another  crop 
of  flowers;  then  this  head  should  be  pinched  off,  when 
new  buds  will  quickly  develop  from  the  sides  of  the 
stem,  these  in  turn  should  be  picked  after  fading;  and  in 
this  way  a  continuous  crop  of  bloom  may  be  had. 
Phlox  do  best  when  given  plenty  of  water;  they  should 
be  planted  to  a  depth  of  two  or  three  inches,  and  the 
ground  around  them  should  be  kept  loose.  Phlox 
should  have  a  top  dressing  of  good  rich  soil  every

Handbook  this  year.  These  twenty  pages  are  given 
up  to  fuller  descriptions  of  the  plants  offered,  and  to 
notes  regarding  their  needs,  etc.,  also  to  directions 
regarding  the  preparation  of  the  ground,  pruning, 
planting  and  care  of  Trees,  Shrubs,  Plants,  etc.  It 
has  added  largely  to  the  cost  of  the  booklet;  but  if

is  our  success. 


PRIMULA — Primrose 

“The  Primrose  seems  the  very  flower  of  delicacy 
and  refinement",  writes  Dr.  Forbes  Watson.  It  is 
the  most  exquisite  of  our  spring  flowers,  in  form, 
color  and  fragrance,  and  coming  when  it  does,  when 
there  is  a  dearth  of  flowers  in  the  early  spring,  it  is 
most  acceptable.  It  should  be  grown  in  the  shade,  or 
semi— shade,  in  a  fairly  light  soil,  and  should  have 
plenty  of  moisture.  It  runs  through  a  large  range  of 
colors  in  yellow,  bronze,  orange,  buff,  red,  etc.,  and 
all  of  them  delightful.  Primroses  cannot  be  praised 
too  highly.

SOME  PEOPLE  “SEE  RED” 

Some  people  see  red,  and  only  red,  when  they  see

Salvias  used  in  parks:  and  they  have  a  place  there. 
But,  have  you  ever  seen  the  Blue  Salvia ?  Think  of  the 
soft  blue  of  a  summer  sky,  near  the  horizon,  and  of  the 
deep  blue  of  indigo,  and  you  have  the  blues  of  our  Hardy 
Salvias.

of  everything  under  the  name  of  '‘Saponaria" .  The  dwarf

This  well-known  of  the  wayside  is  not  to  be  despised,

summer  and  fall  when  there  are  no  shrubs  in  bloom. 
It  also  makes  splendid  effects  when  planted  with 
Hardy  Asters,  Boltonias,  Heleniums  and  Artemisia 
toward  the  back  of  the  perennial  border.  Do  not 
let  it  go  to  seed,  or  plants  will  come  up  everywhere; 
decapitate  them  as  soon  as  the  flowers  fade.  Mis- 
souriensis  resembles  a  small  yellow  aster,  rather  than 
a  Golden  Rod.  It  is  a  beauty.

of  flowers  are  immense,  but  are  more  loosely  con¬ 
structed  than  Golden  Wings,  having  the  loose  fleecy 
effect  of  Artemisia.  Dozen,  $3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,,

Horticultural  Society  of  England.  It  has  graceful 
sprays  of  yellow  aster-like  flowers  from  August  -  to

DO  YOU  KNOW  THE  MEADOW 
RUES? 

I  have  been  surprised  to  find  how  few  people  are 
acquainted  with  the  Meadow  Rues,  as  they  have  so 
many  good  qualities.  The  foliage  is  dainty,  like  a  Maid¬ 
enhair  Fern;  it  is  attractive  in  the  garden  at  all  times, 
and  the  soft  foamy  flowers  are  very  fine  for  cutting, 
making  a  lovely  effect  with  Columbines,  Ranunculus, 
etc.  Candace  Wheeler,  in  her  delightful  book,  “ Content 
In  A  Garden'  says,  of  the  Meadow  Rue,  “This  columbine 
leaved  creature  placed  among  my  pink  peonies  gives  the 


great  rose-colored  flowers  the  effect  of  being  afloat  in 
a  foamy  sea  of  infinitesimal  blossom .”  Don’t  you  want 
to  become  acquainted  with  the  Meadow  Rue? 

THALICTRUM — Meadow  Rue 

Delicate  foliage  like  the  Maidenhair-Fern,  and 
dainty  foam-like  flowers  of  white  or  purple. 

ADI  ANTI  FOLU  M.  (Maidenhair  Meadow  Rue). 
A  dwarf  grower  with  delicate  foliage,  very  effective 
in  the  garden  where  a  soft  blending  of  foliage  is  de¬ 
sirable,  also  very  dainty  for  use  with  cut  flowers. 

AQUILEGIFOLIUM.  (Columbine  Meadow 
Rue).  A  somewhat  taller  sort,  with  leaves  more 
like  the  Columbine,  and  masses  of  foamy  white  flow¬ 
ers  in  June  and  July.  This  is  the  variety  referred  to 
by  Mrs.  Wheeler. 

DASYCARPUM.  (Purple  Meadow  Rue).  A 

lovely  purple  flowered  variety  of  above.  Dozen, 
$3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 

DIPTEROCARPUM.  (Yunnan  Meadow  Rue.) 
If  this  had  a  more  simple  name  it  would  be  in  every 
garden,  as  it  is  a  gem,  has  dainty,  graceful  sprays  of 
violet-mauve  flowers,  elegantly  arranged  on  stems 
four  feet  high,  and  is  invaluable  for  cutting.  You 
would  pay  75c  to  $1.00  for  a  rose,  and  yet  this  will 
last  for  years  without  any  care,  and  is  more  daintily 
beautiful,  if  not  so  showy.  Dozen,  $5.00;  Three,  Si. 50; 
One,  60c. 

THYMUS— Thyme 

VULGARIS.  (Common  Thyme).  An  old  gar¬ 
den  plant,  grown  as  a  sweet  herb,  flowers  small,  lilac 
or  purple;  foliage  fragrant.  Fine  for  rockeries.

Orange  and  Red  Miniature  Lilies 

If  you  would  like  something  unusual,  and  at  the 
same  time  daintily  beautiful,  try  some  Tritonias,  for¬ 
merly  known  as  Montbretia. 

TRITONA — Tritona 
Formerly  called  Montbretia 

Beautiful  little  summer-flowering  bulbs,  with  dainty 
blossoms  of  yellow,  orange  and  red.  Bulbs  may  be 
taken  up  for  the  winter,  or  if  covered  with  a  heavy 
covering  of  leaves  or  litter  they  will  come  through  the 
winter  in  the  best  of  shape.  We  have  left  these  in 
the  ground,  unprotected  for  several  winters,  and  they 
have  come  through  in  good  shape.  2  feet.  July  to 
September,  very  lovely  for  cutting. 

C ROS M AEFLO RA.  Large  flowers,  bright  yellow,

Price  of  Tritona.  Dozen,  $1.50;  Three,  50c. 

I’M  ALMOST  AFRAID 

I’m  almost  afraid  to  tell  you  about  the  Trollius,  be¬ 
cause  if  I  could  describe  it  as  I  see  it  I  could  never  get 
any  stock  ahead.  It  is  hard  to  propogate,  but  easy  to 
grow,  and  no  plant  is  more  hardy  or  enduring.  We 
almost  have  to  build  a  fence  around  these  plants  in  our 
garden  when  visitors  come.  Our  stock  is  still  not  large, 
but  we  have  a  few  to  spare. 

TROLLIUS — Globeflower 

Beautiful  flowers,  like  giant  double  buttercups,  in 
bright,  glowing  shades  of  yellow  and  orange.  18  inches. 
Wonderful  cut  flowers,  and  unrivalled  for  the  garden. 
Prefers  partial  shade,  though  at  home  in  full  sun.

Three,  $1.75;  One,  75 c. 

TUNICA — Tunicef  lower 

SAXIFRAGA.  A  dainty  little  plant  with  tufted 
foliage,  and  quantities  of  pretty  little  pink  flowers

or  rockery.  Dozen,  $2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35. 

TRITOMA — See  Kniphofia 
VALERIANA — Valerian 

OFFICINALIS.  (Garden  Heliotrope)  A  tall 

plant  that  makes  a  splendid  effect  when  planted  with 
Oriental  Poppies  or  Peonies,  should  be  planted  back 
of  them.  Has  large  show-y  heads  of  rose-tinted  white

Dozen.  $3.00;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 

VERONICA— Speedwell 

This  group  contains  some  of  the  most  beautiful 
plants  for  the  front  of  the  border,  and  for  the  rockery, 
and  their  blues  are  unsurpassed.  Give  them  a  rich 
soil,  in  full  sun  and  their  growth  and  beauty  will 
amaze  you. 

INCANA.  (Wooly  Speedwell).  A  pretty  little 
dwarf  plant,  suitable  for  edgings;  has  silvery  foliage 
and  numerous  bright  blue  flowers,  b  inches.  A  good 
cut  flower.  We  exhibited  this  at  one  of  the  flower 
shows  last  summer,  and  it  was  one  of  the  few  that  was 
honored  with  a  special  writeup  in  the  papers.  It  is 
one  of  the  loveliest  blues  known.  Dozen,  $3.00; 
Three,  $1. 00;  One,  40c. 

LONGIFOLI A  SUBSESSILIS.  (Clump  Speed¬ 
well).  One  of  the  most  brilliant  of  our  garden  blue 
flowers;  forms  a  bushy  plant  2  to  3  feet  high,  with 
long,  dense  spikes  of  deep  blue  flowers  from  July  to 
September.  Very  fine  for  cutting. 

REPENS.  (Creeping  Speedwell).  A  very  pretty 
little  creeping  plant  with  attractive  light  blue  flowers.

Price  of  Veronica,  except  where  noted.  Dozen, 
$2.50;  Three,  75c;  One,  35c. 

VIOLA— Violet 

True  Violets,  Hardy  Garden  Varieties 

No  flower  is  a  greater  favorite  than  the  Violet;  and 
there  is  no  garden  that  does  not  have  at  least  a  little 
spot  that  can  be  given  up  to  it.  All  the  Violets  we 
offer  are  perfectly  hardy,  and  while  they  do  well  in 
almost  any  location  they  are  at  their  best  in  partial 
shade.  In  our  own  garden  we  have  had  Sweet-scented 
Violets  in  bloom  in  February.

blue,  forms  large  clumps,  and  is  in  bloom  all  summer. 
An  exquisite  little  flower  for  cutting.  Dozen,  $3.50; 
Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c.

large  as  a  small  pansy,  sweetly  perfumed,  the  growth 
is  vigorous  and  the  plants  form  large  bushy  clumps. 

It  cannot  be  praised  too  highly.  Dozen,  $5.00;  Three, 
$1.50;  One,  65c. 

VIOLA  CORNUTA  (Tufted  Pansy) 

This  is  the  best  edging  plant  for  the  hardy  border, 
and  a  splendid  plant  for  using  in  rose  beds.  If  kept 
from  forming  seed,  and  sheared  rather  close  whenever 
they  tend  to  become  straggly,  they  will  continue  in 
full  bloom  throughout  the  entire  season,  from  earliest 
spring  until  winter.  Before  the  very  heavy  freeze  we 
had  this  December,  plants  of  these  were  in  full  bloom 
in  our  garden,  and  we  have  had  them  in  early  March. 
Today,  January  17th,  as  I  write  this,  these  Violas 
are  in  bloom  in  our  garden.

VINCA — Periwinkle 

VINCA  MINOR,  commonly  known  as  Myrtle. 

The  best  all-around  ground  ground  cover,  will  grow 
where  it  is  difficult  to  establish  grass.  The  foliage  is 
a  dark,  bright  green,  and  is  held  in  perfect  shape  until 
the  new  foliage  takes  its  place  in  the  spring.  Has 
lovely  sky-blue  flowers  in  March  and  April,  and  though 
they  may  be  buried  under  ice  and  snow  at  times  they 
come  out  fresh  as  a  daisy.  Splendid  for  covering 
slopes,  for  planting  amongst  shrubs  and  evergreens, 
giving  the  green  finish  to  the  ground  that  is  so  neces¬ 
sary,  also  for  planting  between  stepping  stones. 

Dozen,  $2.00;  Hundred,  $15.00; 

YUCCA — Adams  Needle 

FILAMENTOSA.  This  is  one  of  the  most  stately 
and  striking  of  the  hardy  rlowers,  its  broad,  sword¬ 
like  foliage  makes  it  very  effective  at  all  times  (it 
holds  through  the  winter)  and  the  enormous  spikes 
of  large,  fragrant,  drooping  creamy-white  flowers  dur¬ 
ing  June  and  July  make  a  most  effective  plant  for 
any  position.  Give  it  as  dry  a  soil  as  possible.  Dozen, 
$3.50;  Three,  $1.00;  One,  40c. 


Sutherland  Garden  Roses 


Dainty  Bud  Of  Hybrid  Rose 


Sutherland  Garden  Roses 

All  of  the  Roses  offered  in  our  list  are  perfectly 
at  home  in  Colorado  Gardens.  The  Hybrid  Tea 
Roses  should  be  protected  in  the  winter  by  a  covering 
of  leaves,  which  should  not  be  allowed  to  become 
matted,  as  the  plants  will  then  rot,  or  earth  may  be 
heeled  up  around  the  plants  to  a  depth  of  six  to  eight 
inches,  and  then  hoed  away  in  the  spring.  Hybrid 
Perpetuals  may  be  treated  in  the  same  manner,  though 
they  are  hardy  without  protection  in  many  localities. 
Our  plants  are  all  LARGE,  STRONG,  FIELD- 
GROWN  stock,  practically  all  of  them  on  their  own 
roots,  so  that  they  will  not  sucker  as  will  grafted  ones. 
There  is  no  better  stock  in  the  country,  and  our 
prices  compare  with  any.  You  will  be  pleased  with 
our  Roses. 


HOW  TO  PLANT  ROSES 

Roses  do  best  in  a  heavy  soil,  clay  soils  are  best,  but 
they  will  do  well  in  a  sandy  soil  if  plenty  of  food  is 
supplied. 

They  like  strong  soil,  and  plenty  of  food.  Well-rotted 
manure,  cow  manure,  preferably,  though  stable  manure 
is  nearly  as  good,  should  be  used  in  quantity,  to  the 
extent  of  one  third  of  the  whole  bulk,  is  not  too  much 
but  it  MUST  BE  WELL  ROTTED  AND  THOR¬ 
OUGHLY  STIRRED  INTO  the  soil.  Dig  in  more 
each  spring.  Roses  starve  to  death,  but  seldom  die  of 
indigestion.  Prepare  the  ground  as  long  as  possible 
before  the  planting  is  done,  and  soak  it  so  that  it  will 
be  thorouhly  settled. 

When  your  roses  arrive;  if  you  are  not  ready  to  plant 
"heel  in ”,  which  is  simply  laying  in  a  slanting  trench 
and  covering  with  earth.  Always  keep  the  roots  covered 

Dig  each  hole  so  that  it  is  larger  than  seems  neces¬ 
sary,  carefully  cut  off  any  mangled  ends  of  roots  with 
a  sharp  knife  or  pruning  shears.  If  planted  in  spring 
remove  all  but  3  or  4  of  the  strongest  branches,  and  cut 
the  remaining  ones  back  to  3  to  6  eyes,  or  buds.  If  planted 
in  the  fall  cut  back  lightly. 

Set  the  plant  in  the  hole,  with  the  roots  spread  out 
carefully,  so  that  fine  earth  can  be  brought  into  contact 
with  each,  and  when  they  are  separated  fill  in  good  soil, 
packing  it  firmly  with  hands ,  and  when  the  hole  is  full 
stamp  firmly  with  feet.  No  plant  will  do  well  if  loosely 
planted  Wet  down  thoroughly  after  plantiing,  and  see 
that  the  ground  is  kept  moderately  moist,  not  soggy 
A  mulch  of  an  inch  of  loose  earth  should  be  spread  over 
the  surface.  Plant  so  that  the  "crown''  of  the  plant 


is  one  inch  loner  than  it  was  in  the  nursery,  the  dif¬ 
ference  in  color  on  the  stem  will  indicate  this. 

Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses  should  be  planted  2  to  3 
feet  apart.  The  Hybrid  Teas-Everblooming  Roses,  may 
be  set  from  1 2  to  18  inches  apart. 

Roses  need  continuous  cultivating.  Keep  the  soil 
stirred  so  that  it  does  not  cake  about  them,  but  do  not 
Cultivate  deeper  than  2  inches,  as  the  soil  MUST  be 
firm  and  tight  about  the  roots  and  stem.  A  loose  layer 
of  dust  will  keep  the  hot  rays  of  the  sun  off  the  roots 
Mr.  Robinson,  the  famous  English  gardener,  recommends 
the  planting  of  Pansies,  Violas  or  M  ignonette  with 
roses.  We  are  very  partial  to  Violas,  —  Viola  Cornuta, — 
and  frequently  use  Mignonette,  but  care  must  be  taken 
that  these  do  not  grow  too  close  to  the  rose  plants.  When 
you  water,  WATER,  do  not  "sprinkle’’ .  A  good  soak¬ 
ing  once  or  twice  a  week  will  do  more  good  than  a  ‘‘sprink¬ 
ling"  twice  a  day. 

Bugs  may  come,  and  if  they  do  spray  the  plants, 
not  the  bugs,  with  arsenate  of  lead  several  limes  prior 
to  June  30,  beginning  while  the  plants  are  dormant. 
For  green  aphis  spray  with  a  solution  of  " Black  Leaf  40". 

Follow  above  directions  and  you  will  have  roses  that 
you  will  be  proud  of.  If  they  are  worth  spending  good 
money  for  they  are  worth  proper  planting  and  care. 

Our  roses  are  good  strong,  2  year,  field  grown  plants 
that  will  bloom  freely  this  summer.  Potted  plants  set 
out  in  June,  may  be  in  leaf,  or  even  in  bloom  when  set 
out,  but  they  will  not  give  anything  like  the  quantity  of 
bloom  the  first  summer  that  our  field  grown  plants  will; 
it  will  take  them  a  year  to  attain  the  size  of  our  plants 
when  you  receive  them. 

A  very  few  of  our  Roses  are  “ budded ”  and  these  will 
be  labelled  "budded" .  These  should  be  planted  with 
the  bud  three  inches  below  the  surface  of  the  ground; 
you  can  tell  from  the  "crook”  on  the  stem  just  above 
the  root,  where  the  bud  is. 


HYBRID  PERPETUAL  ROSES 

These  are  large  growing  Roses,  with  very  large,  full, 
fragrant  flowers  in  immense  quantities  in  June  and 
July,  and  if  cut  back  after  flowering  will  produce  num¬ 
bers  of  flowers  during  the  summer  and  fall  months. 
They  are  more  hardy  than  the  Hybrid  Tea  Roses,  and 
are  very  satisfactory  in  every  way.  There  are  no 
handsomer  Roses  than  these. 

We  offer  large,  field-grown,  dormant  plants,  on 
their  own  roots;  sure  to  grow  and  bloom  They  should 
be  cut  back  to  3  to  6  eyes  when  planted. 

We  offer  just  a  few  of  the  very  best,  as  the  Hy¬ 
brid  Teas,  though  not  as  hardy,  are  the  more  popular.

long-pointed  buds,  and  immense  full  flowers;  the

EVERBLOOMING  ROSES 
Hybrid  Teas 

This  class  of  Rose  has  dainty  buds,  mostly  pointed 
with  full,  fragrant  flowers,  like  the  greenhouse  roses  you 
are  so  familar  with.  They  are  in  bloom  all  summer, 
and  are  at  their  best  in  the  early  fall  months.  Last  year 
they  bloomed  with  us  as  late  as  November .  Should  be 
given  winter  protection  of  leaves  or  litter,  or  hilled  up 
with  earth. 

We  are  offering  extra  strong,  two-year,  field-grown 
plants  that  will  bloom  freely  this  summer.  Should  be

COLORADO  BEDDING  ROSES 


CHOICE  ROSES 
OF  EXCEPTIONAL  MERIT 

We  offer  below  a  few  of  the  newer  roses  that  are  of 
exceptional  merit.  With  the  hundreds  of  new  varieties 
being  introduced  each  year  it  would  be  impossible  jor 
anyone  but  the  occasional  rose  enthusiast  to  keep  track 
of  them,  and  a  large  list  would  only  be  confusing  to  the 


Have  you  seen  our  Colorado  Bedding  Roses?  We 
have  used  large  quantities  in  these  Denver  gardens: 
Mrs.  R.  G.  Dill’s,  2655  Ash  street;  Mr.  R.  J.  Hall’s 
shrub  border,  2561  Birch  street;  Mr.  Ralph  O.  Dietler’s, 
1673  St.  Paul  street;  Mr.  Henry  M.  Blackmer’s,  975 
East  Seventh  avenue;  Mr.  W.  P.  Robinson’s,  1700

see  from  the  street.  These  are  dwarf  Roses,  ideal  for 
bedding,  have  large  clusters  of  good-s»zed  Roses,  in 
a  fine  assortment  of  colors,  and  are  never  out  of 
bloom  from  early  June  until  late  frosts.  The  early

frosts  do  not  affect  them,  and  last  fall  they  were  in 
bloom  in  our  Denver  gardens  late  in  November. 
There  is  no  other  class  of  Roses  as  fine  for  our  Colorado, 
gardens.  We  have  carried  them  through  the  winter 
in  our  own  garden  in  Boulder  for  seven  or  eight  years 
absolutely  without  protection,  but  would  suggest  for 
most  localities  a  light  covering  of  brush,  or  better 
still,  draw  the  earth  up  around  them  so  as  to  cover 
the  stems  for  about  six  inches,  then  in  the  spring  hoe 
the  earth  away. 

BABY  DOROTHY.  A  delightful  little  rose  with 
clear,  brilliant  pink  flowers.  A  very  free  bloomer.

reds,  a  bright,  glowing  crimson,  flowers  of  a  good 
size  and  in  great  sprays.

pink,  large  flowers  in  immense  clusters.  The  best

should  be  treated  as  Shrubs,  and  grown  in  the  shrub 
border.  Tausendschon,  though  a  Climbing  Rose,  makes 
a  very  fine  effect  when  planted  among  Shrubs,  es¬ 
pecially  when  placed  back  of  a  medium-growing  vari¬ 
ety,  where  its  shoots  will  entwine  themselves  with  the 
branches  of  the  shrub,  and  make  it  appear  an  immense 
Rose  Bush.  Trier  is  also  a  very  fine  variety  to  plant 


with  the  medium-growing  shrubs,  as  its  foliage  is 
good  at  all  times  and  it  is  practically  ever-blooming.

THE  FAMOUS  HUGONIS  ROSE 

Although  this  Rose  was  only  introduced  from 
China  a  few  years  ago,  it  has  already  become  famous, 
as  it  is  distinct  from  any  other  Rose.  It  makes  a 
large  shrub,  about  six  feet  in  height,  and  nearly  as 
broad,  has  good  foliage,  and  makes  a  symmetrical 
bush.  Its  delicate  single  yellow  flowers  are  produced 
on  long  arching  sprays  early  in  May.  a  month  before 
any  other  Rose,  making  a  gorgeous  show  when  few 
other  shrubs  are  in  bloom.  Try  this  Rose.  There 
is  nothing  like  it.  Perfectly  hardy.  Strong  two- 
year.  field-grown  plants.  $1.00

ever  the  plant  has  been  sprinkled.  Makes  an  impene¬ 
trable  hedge — keeps  delivery  boys  from  cutting  across 
your  lawn.  Each,  90c;  Dozen,  $9.00.

Sutherland  Hardy  Climbing  Roses 


While  all  the  Climbing  Roses  we  offer  are  hardy 
under  ordinary  conditions,  we  sometimes  have  extra¬ 
ordinary  conditions  in  Colorado,  so.  to  insure  bloom  — 
for  climbing  roses  bloom  on  the  old  wood — it  is  wiser 
to  give  some  protection  during  the  winter.  This  may 
be  a  covering  of  burlap,  or  burlap  and  straw,  or  the 


roses  may  be  taken  down  and  laid  on  the  ground, 
and  covered  with  brush  or  earth;  care  will  have  to  be 
taken,  however  to  start  uncovering  early,  so  that  the 
roses  will  not  start  into  growth  under  the  covering. 
About  four  years  out  of  five  they  will  come  through 
our  winters  without  protection. 


Climbing  Rose,  Tausendschon, 
The  “Rose  Of  A  Thousand  Beauties.” 


AMERICAN  PILLAR.  Beautiful  single  flowers, 
three  to  four  inches  in  diameter,  of  a  lovely  shade  of 
pink,  with  a  w'hite  eye  and  a  cluster  of  yellow  stamens. 
The  flowers  are  borne  in  immense  clusters,  and  a 
plant  in  full  bloom  is  a  wonderful  sight. 

BESS  LOVETT.  Resembles  Climbing  American 
Beauty  in  shape  of  flower,  but  is  brighter  in  color, 
a&clear  bright  red,  of  good  size,  double  full  cupped, 
and  lasts  a  long  time  in  good  condition;  a  strong 
vigorous  grower,  and  very  fragrant. 

BLUE  RAMBLER.  This  has  been  described  as 
“blue”,  which  it  is  not,  but  it  is  a  pleasing  shade  of, 
shall  I  call  it  lavender?  1  think  that  is  as  near  as  I 
can  come  to  it.  When  the  Denver  Garden  Club  visited 
the  garden  of  Mrs.  Chas.  R.  Burger,  at  Boulder, 
last  summer  many  of  the  members  were  greatly 
delighted  with  this  rose.  It  is  a  very  free  bloomer, 
of  the  type  of  Dorothy  Perkins,  and  is  quite  rare  in 
cultivation.  Strong  2  year,  field-grown  plants.  $1.00. 

EMILY  GRAY.  This  is  the  first  real  yellow  rose 
that  is  at  all  hardy.  It  has  long  pointed  buds,  color 
a  beautiful  light'  orange,  changing  to  pale  orange  as 
they  expand;  they  are  borne  on  stiff  stems  long  enough 
for  cutting;  the  stems  are  crimson-red  in  color,  and 
make  a  very  attractive  contrast  against  the  dark 
green,  glossy,  holly-like  foliage  Even  when  cut  of 
bloom  the  plant  is  a  most  ornamental  subject.  Strong 
two  year  field-grown  plants,  each  $1.00. 

CHRISTINE  WRIGHT.  One  of  the  newest  and 
most  promising  Climbing  Roses.  The  flowers  are 


double,  three  and  one  half  to  four  inches  in  diameter, 
borne  singly  or  in  clusters,  beautiful  in  bud  or  full 
flower;  a  refreshing  bright  wild-rose  pink  in  color 
CLIMBING  AMERICAN  BEAUTY.  A  beautiful 
rose  with  flowers  almost  as  large  as  the  American 
Beauty,  but  a  more  pleasing  color,  being  a  rich  rose 
pink,  a  splendidly  formed  double  rose 

DOROTHY  PERKINS.  Soft  shell  -pink  flowers 
borne  in  great  profusion,  fragrant  and  lasting.  One 
of  the  best  climbing  roses. 

DR.  W.  VAN  FLEET.  Has  beautiful  shaped 
flowers,  and  very  dainty  buds,  of  rich  flesh-pink, 
on  long  stems,  splendid  for  cutting.  Not  as  hardy 
as  others  on  our  1  ist . 

EXCELSA.  A  counterpart  of  Dorothy  Perkins, 
but  with  brilliant  rose-red  flowers,  makes  a  won¬ 
derful  show  when  in  bloom. 

FLOWtR  OF  FAIRFIELD.  An  everblooming 
variety  of  the  w'ell-known  Crimson  Rambler.  A  most 
brilliant  color  and  a  satisfactory  rose  as  it  furnishes 
flowers  over  a  long  period.  Each,  $1.00. 

GARDINIA.  A  very  fine  rose  with  buds  of  a 
bright  yellow  opening  into  double  flowers  of  a  cream 
color;  incurving  towards  evening  to  the  shape  of  a 
Cape  Jessamine.  Very  fine  for  cutting,  and  a  splendid 
rose  for  covering  banks  and  terraces,  and  the  best 
yellow. 


HIAWATHA.  A  most  showy  climber,  has  single 
ruby-carmine  flowers  with  a  clear  white  eye  and  a 
mass  of  golden  stamens.  There  is  nothing  more 
striking  in  a  climbing  rose. 

MARY  WALLACE.  This  is  a  splendid  rose  to 
grow  in  semi-bush  form,  for  use  amongst  shrubs,  or 
as  a  pillar  rose.  It  is  one  of  a  new  type  that  will  be¬ 
come  very  popular  when  better  known.  It  has  well- 
formed  semi-double  flowers  of  a  bright  clear  pink 
with  salmon  base  to  the  petals;  the  flowers  are  large 
and  generally  exceed  four  inches  in  diameter,  very 
free  flowering. 


PAUL’S  SCARLET  CLIMBER.  This  is  a  most 
gorgeous  Climbing  Rose,  the  flowers  are  a  brilliant 
scarlet,  of  good  form,  semi-double,  very  freely  pro¬ 
duced.  the  plants  being  literally  covered  from  top 
to  bottom.  There  is  nothing  like  it.  Try  this. 

ROSERIE.  Another  new  Climbing  Rose  that  is 
making  many  friends;  similar  in  habit  and  flower 
to  the  famous  Tausendchon,  but  a  deep  and  even 
shade  of  cerise-pink,  or  carmine;  a  strong  vigorous 
grower  and  free  bloomer.  A  magnificent  Climbing 
Rose. 


SILVER  MOON.  Beautiful  semi-double  flowers 
four  and  a  half  inches  in  diameter,  pure  white,  cupped 
a  large  bunch  of  stamens  adds  to  its  attractiveness. 
Not  very  hardy. 


TAUSENDSCHON.  Distinct  from  any  other 
climber,  and  one  of  the  finest.  The  individual  flow¬ 
ers  are  of  an  elegant  and  graceful  form,  semi-double, 
and  a  most  delicate  shade  of  pink  when  first  opening, 
changing  to  a  carmine  on  the  reverse  of  the  petals 
when  fully  expanded,  produced  in  immense  trusses, 
which  are  splendid  for  cutting.  One  of  the  very  best. 
Splendid  for  cutting. 

TRIER.  Not  as  tall  a  grower  as  most,  should  be 
planted  with  shrubs  or  grown  against  a  low  wall  or 
fence.  The  foliage  is  more  attractive  than  that  of 
most  climbers,  and  the  large  semi-double  flowers,  in 
long  sprays,  are  borne  in  great  quantities  throughout 
the  summer,  each  new  shoot  bearing  a  spray.  $1.00. 

WHITE  DOROTHY.  The  best  white  climber, 
having  all  the  good  points  of  Dorothy  Perkins,  but 
with  flowers  of  a  pure  glistening  white. 

Price  of  Climbing  Rojes,  except  where  noted,  strong, 
two  year,  field-grown  plants,  75c.

SUTHERLAND  HARDY  VINES 


Trumpet  Creeper,  Bignonia  Grandiflora 
The  Most  Gorgeous  Flowering  Vine 


What  To  Do  With  Vines 

What  to  do  with  a  Vine  depends  upon 
its  habit  of  growth.  For  growing  on 
walls  there  are  only  three  varieties  that 
are  at  all  hardy  in  the  middle  west. 
The  Engleman  Ampelopsis  can  be  de¬ 
pended  upon  anywhere;  it  is  absolutely 
hardy.  Plant  so  that  it  will  not  cover 
windows;  it  is  a  rampant  grower.  Also 
keep  all  vines  away  from  corners  of 
buildings,  or  angles,  and  see  that  they 
do  not  cover  any  architectural  feature. 
Boston  Ivy  is  hardy  on  a  north  or  east 
exposure,  if  given  several  years  in 
which  to  establish  itself.  English  Ivy 
is  also  being  grown  successfully  here  if 
given  a  north-east  exposure,  and  strong, 
field  grown  plants  used.  It  should  be 
protected  around  the  roots  for  the  first 
few  winters. 

ALL  VINES,  if  you  expect  them  to 
climb,  should  have  a  support  provided 
when  the  vine  is  planted.  Nature  has 
provided  them  with  twining  stems,  or 
other  organs  to  assist  them  to  climb; 
these  are  very  sensitive,  and  if  not 
given  the  necessary  contact  at  once, 
growth  will  be  retarded.  Trellises,  or 
some  other  support,  is  required  for  all 
vines  except  the  Ampelopsis  and  Ivy. 
Woven  wire  fences  make  good  supports, 
and  a  good  one  may  be  made  by  setting 
posts  in  the  ground  every  ten  to  fifteen 
feet,  and  running  copper  or  galvanized 
wire  between  them,  close  enough  to¬ 
gether  so  that  the  vines  can  readily 
take  hold. 

Many  of  the  vines  appear  to  best 
advantage  when  seen  falling  over  a 
wall,  and  when  allowed  to  grow  wild  on 


banks  and  steep  terraces.  Trumpet  Vine,  Bittersweet 
and  most  of  the  Honeysuckles  are  useful  for  this  pur¬ 
pose;  and  Amelopsis  Heterophylia  is  a  gem;  it  has 
beautiful,  finely-divided  foliage,  and  torquoise-blue  ber¬ 
ries. 


Keep  the  dead  wood  cut  out  of  all  vines,  and  a  care¬ 
ful  pruning,  and  the  shortening  of  long  branches  will 
keep  them  within  bounds,  and  stimulate  growth  and 
bloom.  Dig  in  a  little  fertilizer  around  the  roots  each 
spring;  Clematis  should  also  have  lime. 


AKEBI A  — Akebia 

AKEBIA  QUINATA.  A  very  graceful  climber, 
with  small,  dark  green  foliage,  not  unlike  a  clover 
leaf;  has  numerous  bunches  of  violet-brown,  cinna¬ 
mon-scented  flowers.  A  good  porch  vine  where  a 
dense  growth  is  not  desired.  Each  75c. 

AMPELOPSIS 

AMPELOPSIS  ENGLEMANNI.  —Engleman 
Creeper.  The  best  clinging  vine  for  Colorado,  abso¬ 
lutely  hardy,  clings  to  stone,  brick  or  rough  wood 
walls  without  support  and  turns  most  gorgeously  in 
autumn.  Keep  away  from  windows.  Should  have  a 
large  open  wall  space.  Note  in  illustration  on  page 
27  how  it  tends  to  grow  over  the  windows,  and  how 
it  hides  the  architectural  lines  of  the  building.  Strong 
plants,  each  35c;  Dozen,  $3.50;  Larger,  50c;  Dozen, 
$5.00;  Extra  size,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.00. 

A  NEW  ONE— PORCELAIN  AMPELOPSIS 

AMPELOPSIS  HETEROPHYLL  A.— Porcelain 
Amelopsis.  A  vine  of  moderate  growth,  with  beau¬ 
tiful  finely-divided  foliage,  somewhat  on  the  order 
of  the  grape.  In  fall  it  has  large  clusters  of  porcelain- 
blue  flowers.  A  splendid  vine  for  growing  on  banks, 
terraces,  etc.,  or  for  planting  above  a  wall,  where  its 
beauty  can  be  seen  to  best  advantage.  Strong  plants 

75AMPELOPSIS  TRICUSPIDATA.  (Japanese 
Creeper).  Better  known  as  Boston  Ivy.  The 

popular  clinging  vine  used  in  the  east,  has  finer  foliage 
than  the  Engleman  Ivy,  and  clings  closer,  the  leaves 
lying  almost  flat  against  a  wall.  Although  not  hardy 
in  all  sections  of  Colorado  it  does  well  in  Denver, 
Boulder,  and  most  of  the  towns  outside  of  the  moun¬ 
tains  when  given  an  east  or  north  exposure;  on  the 
south  or  west  it  will  winter-kill.  Good  three  year 
plants,  extra  strong,  and  the  only  kind  worth  plant¬ 
ing  here,  each,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.00. 

DO  NOT  OVERLOOK  THE  TRU MPETCREEPERS 

BIGNONIA — Trumpetcreeper 

Strong  growing  vines  that  require  a  support  on 
which  to  grow,  a  heavy  cord  or  wire,  stretched  tightly 


from  the  cornice  of  a  house  to  the  ground,  makes  a 
good  support.  These  are  amongst  the  most  showy 
of  the  vines.  The  two  Grandiflora  varieties  are  grafted 
and  should  be  planted  with  the  graft  three  inches 
below  the  surface. 

BIGNONIA  GRANDIFLORA.  (Chinese  Trum¬ 
petcreeper).  This  is  the  one  shown  in  our  illustra¬ 
tion,  and  though  very  little  known,  it  is  a  good  climber, 
not  going  so  high  as  Radicans,  and  is  even  more 
gorgeous  in  its  bloom.  It  is  a  splendid  vine  for  grow¬ 
ing  on  a  bank,  or  for  falling  over  a  wall — really  the 
most  artistic  way  of  using  a  vine.  These  will  usually 
bloom  the  first  year.  We  have  had  plants  in  the 
nursery  not  over  two  feet  long  with  great  clusters 
of  orange  bloom.  The  flowers  are  immense,  two  to 
three  inches  across,  somewhat  in  form  like  the  Nas¬ 
turtium,  and  the  color  is  a  gorgeous  bright  orange. 
Like  the  Wisteria,  Trumpetcreepers  should  be  grafted 
to  insure  bloom.  Strong  grafted  plants  that  will 
bloom  this  year,  each  $1.25.  A  few  larger  plants 
at  $1.50.  See  Illustration  above. 

MAD.  GALLEN.  An  improved  variety  of  Big¬ 
nonia  Grandiflora,  mammoth  flowers  of  a  darker  red, 
a  very  handsome  and  valuable  addition.  Strong 
grafted  plants.  $1.2.5. 

BIGNONIA  RADICANS.  (Trumpetcreeper). 

A  very  showy  vine  with  large  trumpet-shaped  flowers 
of  dark  red,  with  an  orange  throat.  Should  not  be 
planted  against  a  house  as  it  will  twist  all  wood-work 
out  of  shape.  Each,  extra  strong  plants,  gorgeous, 
75 C;  Dozen,  $8.00.  We  have  a  few  of  the  usual  size 
at  50c. 

CELASTRUS— Bittersweet 

Woody  vines  that  are  particularly  adapted  for 
planting  on  banks,  and  above  walls,  also  for  pergolas, 
trellises,  etc.  The  brilliant  red  berries,  that  are  re¬ 
tained  almost  all  winter  are  very  attractive;  and  a 
vine  in  full  bearing  may  be  seen  the  distance  of  a 
city  block. 

CELASTRUS  ORBICULATUS.  (Oriental  Bit¬ 
tersweet).  A  tall  and  vigorous  climber.  Berries  or 
capsules,  orange-yellow,  persisting  throughout  the 


THE  SUTHERLAND 


LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


winter.  Splendid  for  decorating.  Extra  strong  plants. 
Each,  85c;  Dozen,  $8.50. 

CELASTRUS  SCANDENS.  (American  Bitter¬ 
sweet).  A  vine  but  little  known  in  Colorado,  but 
one  of  the  best.  It  is  a  vine  with  long  branches,  and  is 
very  effective  for  covering  walls,  fences,  trellises, 
rocks,  or  for  climbing  trees.  The  foliage  is  clean  and 
free  from  insect  pests,  and  the  bright  berry-like  fruits 
remain  on  the  vine  most  of  the  winter,  making  it  a 
most  attractive  sight.  Extra  strong  plants,  75c. 


SUTHERLAND’S  CLEMATIS 

All  the  Clematis  we  offer  are  hardy,  and  are  amongst 
the  most  satisfactory  vines  for  the  garden.  They  are 
particularly  adapted  for  covering  trellis,  fences,  etc  , 
but  should  be  given  a  wire,  cord  or  other  support 
around  which  they  can  twine  themselves.  Do  not  over¬ 
look  the  Clematis  Coccinea,  although  an  old  plant 
it  is  little  known,  but  a  beauty.  For  best  results 
leaf  mound  and  lime  should  be  dug  into  the  soil,  and 
each  spring  a  trowel  full  of  lime  should  be  dug  in 
about  each  plant,  and  a  winter  protection  of  manure 
given. 


A  SCARLET  CLEMATIS 

Did  you  know  there  was  a  Brilliant  Scarlet  Clematis 
It  is  not  at  all  common,  and  yet  it  is  one  of  our  mos 
attractive  vines. 


CLEMATIS  TEXENSIS— Scarlet  Clematis 
SCARLET  CLEMATIS.  The  growth  is  somewhat 
slender,  after  the  manner  of  the  Jackmani  Clematis; 
has  most  attractive  coral-red,  bell-shaped  flowers, 
and  is  in  bloom  from  June  until  frost.  Most  attractive. 
Each,  65c;  Dozen,  $6.50. 


CLOAKS  OF  ROYAL  PURPLE 
‘  Some  one  has  left  a  cloak  of  royal  purple  in  my 
garden."  This  is  what  you  will  think  when  you  first 
see  our  Large  Flowered  Cle malis,  ( Clematis  J ackmani) 
in  your  garden.  The  flowers  are  so  numerous  and  so 
large,  you  can  readily  imagine  a  “ Cloak  of  Royal  Pur¬ 
ple"  suspended  on  your  garden  trellis;  it  is  almost 
inconceivable  that  such  slender  vines  could  bear  and 
support  such  quantities  of  immense  flowers.  One  has 
to  see  to  believe.  Our  potted  plants  are  sure  to  grow  and 
bloo.m  See  picture  below. 


CLEMATIS  JACKMANI  AND 
HYBRIDS 


Engle  man  Ivy 

Note  How  This  Runs  To  The  Windows.  See 
Description  On  Page  26 


These  are  slender  vines  with  tremendous  quanti¬ 
ties  of  enormous  flowers  in  purple,  lavender,  red, 
pink  and  white  shades.  Jackmani,  the  best  known, 
is  a  royal  purple,  and  a  most  gorgeous  flowering  vine. 
Set  them  so  that  the  pot  is  several  inches  below  the 
surface  of  the  ground — it  may  be  left  to  rot,  as  it  is 
merely  paper.  They  require  a  fairly  rich  soil,  and  a 
moderate  amount  of  water,  but  should  be  given  some¬ 
thing  to  climb  on  immediately,  and  should  be  firmly 
tied  to  it  with  soft  cloth.  The  vines  are  very  slender, 
and  are  easily  broken. 

For  several  years  we  have  hesitated  offering  the 
Large  Flowered  Clematis,  beautiful  as  they  are,  be¬ 
cause  they  have  been  so  difficult  to  grow,  being  subject 
to  a  disease  that  carried  them  off  over  night  We  are 
now  growing  them  in  pots,  and  have  found  that  by 
this  method  there  is  no  loss  in  transplanting,  and 
they  appear  to  be  immune  to  disease.  We  believe, 
any  one  can  succeed  with  our  pot-grown  Clematis, 
Each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.00.

expense.  Price  of  Large  Flowered  Clematis,  strong 
potted  plants  that  will  bloom  this  year.  $1.00. 

FALL  BLOOMING  CLEMATIS 

CLEMATIS  PANICULATA.  Sweet  Autumn 
Clematis.  Generally  known  as  Japanese  Clematis. 
The  hardiest  form  of  the  Clematis,  makes  a  vigorous 
growth  of  good  bright  green  foliage,  and  in  September 
is  covered  with  a  mass  of  sweetly-scented,  white 
star-like  blossoms.  Strong  plants,  35c;  large,  extra 
strong  plants,  50c.  We  recommend  planting  the 
larger  size,  as  the  smaller  plants  take  some  time  to 
become  established. 

EUONYMUS — Euonymus 

EUONYMUS  RADICANS  VEGETUS.  Big- 
leaf  Wintercreeper.  An  evergreen  hardy  climber 
that  will  cling  to  rough  walls  without  support.  It 
has  beautiful,  glossy  green  foliage,  held  in  good  con¬ 
dition  all  winter,  and  when  well  established  has  bright 
orange-red  berries  that  are  held  on  the  plant  all  winter. 
A  splendid  vine  for  planting  against  low  foundation 
walls,  or  at  the  base  of  a  sundial  or  bird  bath. 

Strong,  field-grown  plants.  Each,  50c;  Larger  Plants 
at  75c  and  $1.00. 

HEDRA  -Ivy 

HEDRA  HELIX.  English  Ivy.  Unfortunately 
this  beautiful  clinging  vine  is  little  known  in  our 
Colorado  gardens,  and  yet  it  can  be  grown  quite 
successfully  if  properly  placed.  It  should  be  grown 
against  a  wall  on  the  north  side,  or  north-east,  and 
should  be  protected  from  the  west  winds.  Give  a 
little  covering  of  leaves  or  litter  (lightly)  the  first 
winter  or  two.  You  will  find  a  plant  here  and  there 
in  most  towns  of  the  state. 

Good  strong  plants,  each  $1.00. 

Fragrance  and  beauty ,  together  with  hardiness,  clean 
foliage,  and  general  usefulness  are  combined  in  Honey¬ 
suckle — Lonicera. 

LONICERA — Honeysuckle 

The  Honeysuckles  are  among  the  most  satisfactory 
of  our  twining  vines,  and  are  adapted  to  all  purposes, 
and,  with  the  exception  of  Hall’s,  will  do  well  on  any 
exposure.  Hall’s  should  be  given  an  east  ot  north 
exposure,  as  it  sometimes  kills  on  the  west  or  south, 
though,  as  a  rule,  it  is  perfectly  hardy  in  any  location. 
We  have  them  out  on  a  fence  where  they  have  the  full 
sweep  of  the  west  winds,  and  have  never  had  one 
winter-kill  on  us.  All  of  the  Honeysuckles  are  good 
in  foliage,  all  have  most  attractive  flowers,  some  vari¬ 
eties  are  sweetly-scented,  all  attract  the  humming- 

^HALL’S  FRAGRANT.  Pure  white  flowers,  de¬ 
lightfully  fragrant,  turning  to  yellow,  in  bloom  all 
summer,  foliage  dark,  glossy  green,  and  usually  ever¬ 
green.  Should  be  in  every  garden,  if  only  for  its  fra¬ 
grance.  Each.  50c  and  75c. 

HECKROTHI.  An  everblooming  1  rumpet  Honey¬ 
suckle,  one  of  the  finest;  has  deliciously  fragrant 
flowers  of  a  dark,  rich  yellow,  shaded  chocolate,  in 
bloom  all  summer.  Extra  strong  plants,  75c.  Three 
year.  $1.00. 

HENDERSONI.  A  true  everblooming  Honey¬ 
suckle,  as  each  new  twig  bears  a  large  cluster  of  yellow 
trumpet  flowers,  which  change  the  second  day  to 
orange  red,  the  clusters  are  larger  and  longer  than 
the  Red  Coral,  more  brilliant  in  color,  and  are  borne 
on  longer  stalks,  making  them  valuable  for  cutting. 
Extra  strong,  three  year  plants,  $1.00. 

CHINESE  EVERGREEN.  Bright  showy  foliage 
of  a  purplish-green,  flowers  white,  pink  and  yellow, 
fragrant,  producing  freely  all  summer.  One  of  the 
best.  One  of  our  fastest  growing  plants,  as  well  as 
one  of  the  most  beautiful.  Extra  strong  plants,  75c 

SCARLET  TRUMPET.  The  old  favorite  Red 
Coral  Honeysuckle,  has  large  clusters  of  brilliant 
Coral-red  flowers  at  frequent  intervals  throughout 
the  summer,  followed  by  bright  red  berries  retained 
all  winter.  Both  flowers  and  berries  make  attractive 
decorations.  Good  strong  plants.  50c.  Extra  large,

THE  FAMOUS  SUTHERLAND 
SILVER  LACE  VINE 


Silver  Lace  Vine,  The  Finest  Vine  Grown 
The  Picture  Was  Taken  About  Five  Months  After 
The  Vines  Were  Planted  (One  On  Each  Side 
of  Arch). 


SILVER  LACE  VINE 

It  is  impossible  to  say  too  much  in  praise  of  the 
Silver  Lace  Vine;  it  is  without  an  equal.  It  is  hardy, 
a  rapid  grower,  has  clean  attractive  foliage,  and  sev¬ 
eral  times  during  the  season  is  a  billowy  mass  of 
creamy,  lace-like  flowers.  There  are  two  vines  on 
the  arch  shown  in  our  illustration,  they  were  planted 
in  May,  1922,  and  the  picture  was  taken  the  following 
September.  We  believe  you  will  feel  no  further  com¬ 
ment  is  necessary.  The  arch  is  in  Mr.  Joe  Shoemaker’s 
garden  at  594  Humboldt  street,  Denver.  Ask  Mr. 
Shoemaker  what  he  thinks  of  it.  We  have  not  been 
offering  this  in  our  catalogue  for  several  years,  as 
it  is  hard  to  propagate,  and  our  stock  was  small. 
It  can  be  grown  from  seed,  and  such  plants  are  being 
offered  but  as  a  rule  they  do  not  bloom.  Ours  are 
made  from  cuttings,  and  we  now  have  sufficient 
stock  to  offer  it  generally.  If  you  want  ONE  vine 
this  is  the  ONE.  Strong  field-grown  plants,  $1.00; 
Medium  Plants  $1.00;  Extra  Size,  $1.25;  Extra 
Large  $1.50. 

LYCEUM— Barbarium 
Barbery  Matrimony  Vine 

MATRIMONY  VINE.  (Lycium  Barbarumi, 

"A  neat,  half-climbing  plant,  bearing  small  light  pink 
flowers  in  summer,  followed  by  berries  which  turn 
to  a  beautiful  scarlet  in  the  fall,  when  it  is  very  or¬ 
namental.”  I  read  this  description,  would  not  des¬ 
cribe  it  that  way  myself,  I  think  it  coarse,  and  it 
‘‘runs  wild”:  it  is,  however,  a  useful  plant  for  covering 
banks  and  other  rough  places.  Each,  50c;  Dozen,  $5.00. 

MEDIRA  VINE 

This  is  one  place  where  we  omit  the  botanical  name. 
Unless  you  are  a  botanist  you  would  not  look  at  it, 
so  what’s  the  use.  It  is  an  old-fashioned  vine,  cover¬ 
ing  a  large  space  in  a  very  short  time,  has  heart- 
shaped  leaves  of  a  bright  green,  and  numerous  racemes 
of  feathery  white  flowers  with  a  delicious  fragrance.

grafted  plants  will  insure  bloom.  You  can  now  have 
the  Wisteria  in  YOUR  garden 

WISTERIA -  Wisteria 

Unquestionably  the  most  beautiful  of  all  hardy 
climbers  is  the  Wisteria.  The  beautiful  long  racemes 
of  lovely  lavender-blue  flow?ers  appear  in  all  scenes 
of  Japanese  gardens  and  temple  grounds:  and  in 
Japanese  paintings  and  embroideries  the  Wisteria  is 
always  to  be  found  In  addition  to  their  beauty  the 
flowers  are  also  delightfully  fragrant  Most  people 
have  the  impression  that  the  Wisteria  takes  many 
years  to  come  into  bloom,  and  propagated  in  the 
usual  manner  they  frequently  do  not  bloom  at  all. 
We  have  found  that  by  grafting  from  flowering  vines 
plants  can  be  secured  that  will  bloom  soon  after 
planting,  frequently  the  first  year.  Last  year  we 
had  some  in  our  nursery  that  were  only  a  year  from 
the  graft,  the  vines  only  a  few  feet  long,  and  yet 
they  had  quite  a  quantity  of  bloom  They  should  be 
planted  where  they  have  something  to  climb  on 
immediately,  a  good  rich  soil,  with  plenty  of  thor¬ 
oughly  rotted  manure  spaded  in.  and  kept  moderately 
moist  Our  grafted  plants,  given  this  care,  will  de¬ 
light  you.  Plant  where  thev  do  not  have  the  sun  too 
early  in  the  spring,  as  they  bloom  early.  Set  so  the 
graft  is  three  inches  below  the  surface.

ONCE  IN  A  LIFETIME! 

It  is  only  once  in  a  lifetime  that  a  really  worth-while, 
outstanding  novelty  in  a  hardy  shrub  is  introduced,  and 
in  this  NEW  BARBERRY  we  have  such  a  plant.  Do 
not  overlook  this  splendid  Novelty. 


NEW  RED-LEAVED  BARBERRY! 

This  new  plant  is  like  the  popular  Japanese  Bar¬ 
berry  in  all  respects  except  the  color  of  the  leaves.  It 
has  the  same  dwarf  habit  of  growth,  and  the  same  bril¬ 
liant  red  berries,  and  in  addition  the  foliage  of  this 
new  variety  is  of  a  rich,  lustrous,  bronzy  red,  similar  to 
the  brightest  of  the  red-leaved  J apanese  Alaples.  Unlike 
most  shrubs  with  brightly  colored  foliage  the  color  does 
not  fade  as  the  summer  advances,  but  becomes  more 
brilliant  and  gorgeous  throughout  the  summer,  and  in 
the  fall  changes  to  vivid  orange,  scarlet  and  red  shades, 
more  brilliant  than  the  ordinary  J  apanese  Barberry. 
Its  color  both  in  summer  and  fall,  is  unequalled  by 
any  other  shrub.  To  bring  out  its  best  colors  it  should 
be  planted  in  full  sun.  2  to  4  feet.

turns  beautifully  in  autumn,  flat  heads  of  white 
flowers  followed  by  blue  or  white  berries.  The  stems 
of  most  make  an  attractive  effect  in  the  winter  as 
they  vary  in  color  from  purple  to  brilliant  blood- 
red.  A  few  of  the  older  stems  should  be  cut  off  to  the 
ground  each  spring  to  induce  new  growth,  the  new 
stems  always  being  the  brightest  in  color.  A  planting 
of  the  various  sorts  will  make  a  much-enjoyed  corner

August  and  September  it  is  almost  smothered  in 
small,  rosy-purple,  pea-like  flowers.  It  is  particularly 
adapted  to  banks  and  terraces,  where  its  graceful 
drooping  branches  show  up  to  good  advantage.  Should

but  blooms  later,  and  is  covered  with  double  white 
rose-like  flowers.  This  has  not  usually  been  considered 
hardy  in  Colorado,  but  we  find  that  after  the  first 
year  or  two  it  is  successful  wherever  it  can  have  a 
little  protection  from  the  west  winds.  A  most  beau¬ 
tiful  shrub.  Try  this.  Each,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.00.

GORGEOUS  FALL  COLOR 

Gorgeous  Fall  Color  can  be  had  in  every  Colorado 
Garden  if  the  proper  shrubs  are  grown.  Color  is  not  a 
matter  of  climate,  the  color  is  inherent  in  the  plant. 
If  a  shrub  has  shoicy  fall  fcliage  in  its  natural  habitat, 
it  will  have  showy  fall  foliage  here.  The  Euonymus 
have  the  most  gorgeous  fail  colors  of  all  our  shrubs. 
Barberries,  Dogwoods,  most  of  the  Prunus,  Rhamnas, 
Sumac,  Ribes,  the  Wild  Roses,  many  of  the  Spiraeas, 
and  the  Vibirnums  all  carry  splendid  fall  colors.  The 
fall  color  is  noted  in  our  descriptions,  and  you  can 
depend  upon  it. 

EUONYMUS— Strawberry  Bush 
Burning  Bush 

These  Shrubs  are  particularly  adapted  for  use  as 
lawn  specimens.  They  are  tree-like  in  form,  and  have 
very  attractive  foliage  that  turns  such  brilliant  colors 
in  the  fall  as  to  give  them  the  name  of  Burning  Bush. 
They  also  have  quantities  of  red  or  yellow  strawberry¬ 
shaped  fruits  that  remain  in  good  shape  on  the  bushes 
most  of  the  winter,  and  makes  the  leafless  plant  almost 
as  brilliant  as  w'hen  in  its  full  glory  of  fall  color. 

ALATUS.  Winged  Euonvmus  Bush.  A  hand¬ 
some  shrub  six  to  eight  feet  tall,  with  most  picturesque

Smaller  size.  Each,  60c;  Dozen,  $6.50. 


FORSYTHIA— Golden  Eel!  (2) 

Forsythias  are  large  growing  shrubs  and  should  be 
given  plenty  of  room;  they  are  amongst  the  best  for 
planting  on  banks  and  terraces  but  are  too  large  for 
foundation  plantings.  In  early  spring  before  the 
foliage  appears  they  are  smothered  under  clouds  of 
bright  yellow  flowers  making  a  wonderful  effect  at 
a  time  when  flowers  are  scarce. 

BORDER  FORSYTHIA.  (F.  intermedia)  This 
is  the  brightest  yellow  and  the  freest  flowering  of  the 
Forsythias.  Each  75c;  Dozen  $7.50. 

SUSPENSA.  Weeping  Forsythia.  Has  long 
arching  branches  almost  like  a  vine  splendid  for

Dozen  $6.50. 


WCNDERFUL  MASSES  OF  FLOWERS 

Shrubs  with  wonderful  masses  of  dowers  are  rather 
unusual  in  Colorado.  We  have  been  somewhat  care¬ 
ful  about  recommending  the  Hydrangeas  as  some 
people  have  not  been  very  successful  with  them.  The 
lack  of  success  we  believe  is  mostly  due  to  our  west¬ 
ern  hurry;  we  are  not  willing  to  wait  for  anything, 
results  must  be  immediate.  It  usually  takes  several 
years  to  establish  Hydrangeas  here,  as  the  tops  will 
frequently  winter-kill  the  first  year  or  two.  They 
will  however  come  again  from  the  roots  and  will 
eventually  become  established.  Fortunately  they 
bloom  on  the  new  wood  so  winter-killing  is  not  so 
serious  after  all.  Do  not  use  with  shrubs  of  dainty 
foliage  where  an  ornamental  effect  is  desired  as  their 
foliage  is  rather  coarse.

most  popular  shrubs  of  the  east  and  does  well  in 
Colorado  if  protected  from  west  winds;  has  large 
panicles  of  white  flowers  that  later  assume  shades  of 
rose  the  showiest  shrub  in  cultivation.  Each  $1.00;

ornament  for  the  lawn  or  to  use  back  of  smaller

HYPERICUM — St.  Johnswort 

Although  one  variety  of  St.  Johnswort  Aureum, 
is  native  in  some  parts  of  Colorado  these  attractive 
shrubs  are  seldom  found  in  our  gardens.  They  are 
unusually  attractive  and  a  great  acquisition  as  they 
bloom  for  several  months  in  the  late  summer  and 
early  fall  a  time  when  most  shrub’s  flowers  are  gone. 
They  are  almost  smothered  under  masses  of  bright 
yellow  flowers  Densiflorum  being  particularly  pro¬ 
fuse  and  Patulum  Henryi  have  immense  golden  yel¬ 
low  flowers  that  are  wonderfully  attractive. 

AUREUM.  Golden  St.  Johnswort.  A  showy 
shrub  about  three  feet  in  height  stiff  dense  habit, 
the  top  often  having  the  globular  effect  of  a  minia¬ 
ture  tree  has  quantities  of  showy  yellow  flowers  in 
July  and  August  a  time  when  most  shrubs  have  done 
blooming.  Each  90c;  Dozen  $9.00. 

DENSIFLORIUM.  A  handsome  shrub  about 
three  to  five  feet  in  height;  handsome  narrow  dark 
green  foliage  and  numerous  bright  yellow  flowers  in 
compound  clusters.  Each  75c;  Dozen  $8.00. 

PATULUM  HENRYI.  One  of  the  finest  sorts

large  clear  yellow  flowers  about  two  inches  in  diame¬ 
ter  in  July  and  August.  Strong  plants.  Each  60c;

LIGU3TRUM— Privet 

The  privet  is  usually  thought  of  as  a  hedge  plant 
but  only  a  few  varieties  are  suitable  for  that  purpose; 
and  all  of  them  are  very  attractive  large  growing 
shrubs  we  adapted  for  use  in  the  shrub  border  as 
backgrounds.  They  all  have  quantities  of  sweetly- 
scented  white  flowers  not  unlike  miniature  Lilacs, 
and  these  are  followed  by  black  berries  that  are  re¬ 
tained  on  the  bushes  all  winter  and  are  eagerly  sought 
by  the  returning  Bluebirds  in  the  spring.  Even  the 
Polish  Privet  the  best  Hedge  Plant  for  Colorado, 
is  a  good  ornamental  shrub. 

IBOTA.  A  tall  growing  sort  upright  in  habit, 
making  a  rather  more  slender  shrub  than  most  sorts. 
Very  attractive  as  a  background.  While  this  is  fre¬ 
quently  used  as  a  hedge  it  does  not  make  as  full  and 
dense  a  hedge  as  our  Polish  Privet.  See  page  39. 

REGALANIUM.  Regal  Privet.  A  broad  arch¬ 
ing  shrub  with  most  attractive  foliage  that  assumes 
rich  plum  and  red  shades  in  autumn.  It  has  quan¬ 
tities  of  white  fragrant  flowers  and  in  winter  is  liter¬ 
ally  black  with  its  masses  of  blue-black  berries  which 
remain  on  the  bush  until  eaten  by  the  Bluebirds 
upon  their  return  in  the  spring.  While  this  is  a  large 
growing  shrub  it  can  be  kept  to  any  desired  height 
by  pruning  which  may  be  done  at  any  time  and 
almost  regardless  of  how  it  is  cut  the  effect  of  the 
shrub  is  always  graceful.  These  are  amongst  the  shrubs 
that  I  have  used  in  front  of  my  own  house.  Seedlings 
do  not  have  graceful,  arching  habits.  Ours  are  grown 
from  cuttings  and  are  the  true  variety.  Each-  65c; 
Dozen-  $6.50.

LONICERA — Bush  Honeysuckle 

Large-growing  shrubs  with  masses  of  pink  or  white 
flowers  in  early  spring  followed  by  bright  red  or 
yellow  berries.  Give  them  plenty  of  room  as  they 
will  often  grow  to  an  immense  size.  They  need  six 
to  eight  feet  and  could  use  more.  Too  large  for  founda¬ 
tion  plantings  unless  in  connection  with  a  very  large 
house.  They  are,  however,  very  attractive  shrubs, 
with  their  vast  quantities  of  fragrant  flowers  in  the 
spring  which  are  followed  by  bright  red  or  yellow 
berries  some  of  them,  like  Maacki  retaining  their 
fruit  all  winter.  Lonicera  is  also  a  useful  hedge  plant. 
See  Hedges  page  39.

Pink  Tartarian  at  $1.00. 


PHILADELPHUS — Mock  Orange 

There  were  no  greater  favorites  in  the  old-fashioned 
gardens  than  the  fragrant  Mock  Oranges;  they  rivalled 
the  Lilac  in  popularity.  We  offer  a  number  of  varieties, 
differing  in  foliage  in  height  of  flower,  and  in  time  of 
bloom.  Plant  a  clump  of  these  beautiful  shrubs  and 
you  will  be  delighted  with  them.  The  flowers  are 
splendid  for  cutting  and  most  of  them  are  delightfully 
fragrant. 

AVALANCHE.  Large  fragrant  flowers  on  slender 
gracefully  arching  branches.  75c.

of  moderate  growth,  only  attaining  a  height  of  4  to 
5  feet;  flowers  white,  in  short  racimes,  very  fragrant, 
and  literally  covering  the  branches. 

THE  MOST  BEAUTIFUL  MOCK  ORANGE 

VIRGINAL.  This  is  the  most  beautiful  of  the 
Mock  Oranges,  is  a  novelty  just  introduced  within 
the  last  few  years.  It  is  also  the  finest  new  shrub 
introduced  in  many  years.  The  flowers  are  large, 
pure  white,  double,  and  very  sweetly  scented.  No 
finer  flowering  shrub  can  be  had.  I  paid  $3.50  for 
one  plant  of  this  a  few  years  ago,  and  am  now  offering 
them  at  $1.25.  There  is  nothing  in  the  shrub  line 
more  beautiful  in  its  flowers. 

If  I  could  only  have  one  flowering  shrub,  I  believe 
my  choice  would  be  Philadelphus  Virginal. 

$1.25;  Dozen,  $15.00.  We  have  some  extra  large 
plants  at  $1.75  and  a  few  very  large  ones  at  $2.00. 

Price  of  Philadelphus,  except  where  noted,  Each,

small,  attractive  foliage,  and  quantities  of  white 
flowers  in  clusters  in  July.  An  unusually  interesting 
shrub.  Each,  75c;  Dozen,  $7.50. 

OPULIFOLIUS.  Common  Nine  Bark.  Formerly 
classed  as  Spiraea  Opulifolia.  A  rather  large  shrub 
with  white  flowers  resembling  cherry  blossoms,  in 
midsummer,  followed  by  bright  red  seed  pods.  An 
elder  planted  back  of  this  makes  a  good  combination. 
Each,  50c;  Dozen,  $5.00;  a  few  extra  sized  plants 
at  75c;  Dozen,  $7.50. 


GOLDLEAF  NINE  BARK.  A  striking  variety 
with  bright  yellow  leaves,  changing  in  summer  to 
golden  bronzy  yellow.  Personally  I  do  not  care  for 
"Golden'’  shrubs,  but  if  you  like  them  this  is  a  good 
one.  Each,  bsc;  Dozen,  $6.50.

A  Spray  Of  Mock  Orange 
Philadelphus  Coronarius 


PRUNES — Flowering  Cherries,  Plums, 
Almonds 

This  group  contains  some  of  the  most  showy  of  the 
spring  flowering  shrubs;  the  well-known  Flowering  Al¬ 
mond  being  included.  The  Flowering  Almond,  Double 
flowering  Plum  and  the  Purple  Leaf  Plum  are  all 
grafted,  and  should  be  planted  below  the  graft.  Watch 
for  suckers  coming  from  the  base  of  the  plant  and  cut 
off  close  to  the  trunk  immediately,  for  if  allowed  to 
grow  it  will  kill  out  the  real  plant.  These  have  mostly 
been  grafted  on  Peach,  which  is  not  hardy  in  Colorado; 
our  stock  is  on  wild  plum,  and  is  quite  hardy. 

BESSEYI.  Bessey  Cherry.  A  beautiful  shrub 
with  handsome  narrow  leaves,  which  assume  won¬ 
derful  colors  in  the  autumn;  in  spring  it  is  covered 
with  dainty  white  cherry-like  blossoms,  followed  by 
fruit  about  the  size  of  the  Early  Richmond  Cherry, 
and  which  make  fine  jams  and  jellies.  Each,  65c; 
Dozen,  $1.00. 

PINK  FLOWERING  SHRUBS 

Pink  Flowering  Shrubs  are  not  often  seen  in  our 
gardens,  which  is  a  great  pity,  as  they  make  wonderfully 
beautiful  effects  at  a  time  when  flowers  are  not  plenti¬ 
ful.  The  Flowering  Almond,  and  the  Double  Pink 
Flowering  Plum  are  both  very  lovely,  and  can  be  grown 
successfully  in  any  sunny  spot.  The  Red  Flowering 
Peach  ( see  in  Tree  Department)  is  a  dwarf  tree,  and  if 
given  a  place  sheltered  from  the  west  winds,  and  where 
it  does  not  get  the  sun  too  early  in  the  spring,  will  do 
well  here.  It  is  GORGEOUS.  These  are  all  grafted 
plants,  and  should  be  planted  with  the  graft  three  to 
four  inches  below  the  surface.  Watch  for  suckers  coming 
from  below  the  graft  and  cut  off  close  to  the  stem.  If 
allowed  to  grow  they  will  kill  the  plant. 

GLANDULOSA.  Flowering  Almond.  This  well- 
known  shrub  has  beautiful  rose-like  double  flowers 
in  pink  or  white,  which  appear  in  spring  before  the 
leaves.  White  or  Pink.  2  to  3  feet,  $1.25;  3  to  4  feet, 
$1.50.  We  have  a  few  extra  large  plants  at  $2.00’ 

PADUS.  Eu  ropean  Bird  Cherry.  A  large  tree¬ 
like  shrub,  with  foliage  similar  to  the  Choke-cherry, 
but  larger  and  broader,  and  which  turns  to  gorgeous

shades  of  orange  in  the  fall,  and  in  spring  has  masses 
of  creamy-white  fragrant  flowers,  followed  by  berries 
similar  to  the  Choke  Cherry.  75c  and  Si. 00;  Dozen, 
$8.00  and  $10.00. 

PISSARDI.  Purple  Leaf  Plum.  See  Tree  Depart¬ 
ment. 

TRILOBA.  Flowering  Plum.  More  tree-like  in 
habit  than  the  Flowering  Almond,  nas  good  foliage, 
and  in  early  spring  is  covered  with  small  double 
rose-like  flowers  of  a  brilliant  deep  pink.  Very  showy 
and  attractive.  2  to  3  feet,  $1.00:  Dozen.  $10.50; 
3  to  4  feet,  $1.50;  Dozen,  $12.50;  4  to  5  feet,  S2.00; 
Dozen,  $20.00. 

VIRGINIANA.  Choke  Cherry.  A  large  grow¬ 
ing  shrub  with  splendid  fall  foliage,  one  of  the  finest 
shrubs  for  fall  effects,  shades  of  scarlet  and  red;  in 
spring  it  has  great  Quantities  of  creamy-white  fra¬ 
grant  flowers,  followed  by  the  black  cherry-like  fruits 
that  make  delicious  jams  and  jellies.  A  group  made 
up  of  Prunus  Virginiana  and  Padus  make  a  gorgeous 
fall  effect.  Both  varieties  are  splendid  at  all  seasons; 
and  the  birds  will  relish  the  fruits  if  they  beat  you 
to  them.  Each,  75c:  Dozen.  SS.oo.  Small  size,  50c; 
Dozen,  $5.00. 

DO  NOT  THINK! 

This  is  not  intended  to  suggest  that  you  do  no  think  — 
ue  know  you  do,  or  you  would  not  be  reading  our  cata¬ 
logue — but  we  merely  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  the 
f act  that  you  must  not  think  of  " Rose  Species ”  ( Wild 
Roses  in  various  parts  of  the  world )  as  Roses  in  the 
usual  sense  of  the  term.  Most  of  them  do  not  have  double 
flowers ,  a  few  have  semi-double,  and  most  of  them  have 
single  flowers.  Think  of  them  as  SHRUBS,  and  beau¬ 
tiful  shrubs  that  have  their  place  with  other  shrubs  in  the 
shrub  border,  and  for  foundation  plantings.  Once,  in 
making  a  shrub  planting  I  used,  one  of  our  most  beauti¬ 
ful  wild  roses,  Blanda,  and  was  accused  of  using  In¬ 
ferior  Roses' ’,  as  the  party  for  whom  the  planting  was 
done  could  only  think  of  l‘roses ”  as  double  flowered 
garden  plants.  Hybrid  Per  petual.  Hybrid  Tea,  and 
roses  of  that  class  have  NO  place  in  shrub  planting. 
You  will  find  all  the  varieties  listed  here  to  be  splendid 
varieties  to  use  as  SHRUBS,  Tausendschon,  Roserie, 
and  Mary  Wallace  ( See  Climbing  Roses,  page  )  are 
also  good  Roses  for  planting  back  of  medium  growing 
shrubs,  as  the  long  shoots  of  these  roses  fall  over  the 
shrubs,  making  beautiful  effects. 


Harrisons  Yellow  Rose 

Showing  One  Plant  Against  A  Stone  Wall,  Very 
Effective  When  Planted  With  Shrubs. 


ROSA — Rose  Species  (2) 

The  Roses  offered  under  this  head  are  varieties  that 
are  grown  for  their  effect  with  shrubs  and  should  not 
be  confused  with  Everblooming  and  other  double 
Roses.  They  are  all,  however,  very  attractive  shrubs, 
both  in  foliage  and  flowers,  all  turning  brilliantly  in 
autumn  and  having  bright  red  fruits  that  remain  on 
the  bushes  until  spring. 

BLANDA.  Meadow  Rose.  A  most  attractive 
sort  in  habit  and  flower,  with  the  additional  advantage 
of  bright  red  stems  that  are  as  showy"  as  the  Red 
Stemmed  Dogwood;  has  single  pink  flowers,  followed 
by  bright  red  berries  that  are  retained  on  the  bush 
all  winter;  the  true  variety  is  thornless.  True  Thorn¬ 
less  variety,  raised  from  cuttings.  Each,  75c;  Dozen, 
$8.00. 


HARRISON’S  YELLOW.  A  rather  large  grow¬ 
ing  shrub  with  a  multitude  of  golden-yellow  semi¬ 
double  flowers.  Very  showy.  Large  field  grown  plants, 
each,  90c;  Dozen,  $9.00. 

LUCIDA.  A  low-growing  sort  with  good  foliage 
and  pink  blossoms.  Each,  50c;  Dozen,  $5.00. 

LUCIDA  ALBA.  One  of  the  best  shrubs  for  fall 
and  winter  color,  as  well  as  a  handsome  shrub  during 
the  summer,  the  attractive  foliage  turns  to  golden- 
yellow  in  the  fall,  and  the  stems  are  also  yellow"; 
the  flowers  are  large,  single,  and  pure  white;  and  are 
followed  by  bright  fruits  that  are  retained  all  winter. 
A  splendid  shrub.  Each,  65c;  Dozen,  $6.50. 

PERSIAN  YELLOW.  Similar  to  above  with  bright 
yellow,  nearly  double  flowrers  of  exquisite  form.  An 
old  favorite.  Each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.00. 

FOLIAGE  OF  UNUSUAL  COLOR 

Foliage  of  unusual  color  that  is  not  also  objectionable 
in  a  shrub  planting  is  rather  rare.  The  Rose  Rubrifolia 
has  attractive  purple-red  foliage  that  will  blend  with 
greens  in  such  a  way  that  it  will  not  offend  the  most 
artistic  taste.  It  is  a  GOOD  shrub  with  colored  foliage. 
I  wish  my  stock  were  larger. 

RUBRIFOLIA.  Red-Leaved  Rose.  A  handsome 
variety  with  slender  purplish  branches,  and  blue- 
green  leaves  tinged  w"ith  red.  Flowers  pink,  an  inch

plant,  and  the  best  shrub  with  colored  foliage.  Good 
strong  plants.  Each,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.50  Larger  plants, 
each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.50. 

RUGOSA.  Wrinkled  Japanese  Rose.  One  of  the 
most  showy  of  the  Hardy  Roses.  See  page  24  for 
varieties  and  descriptions. 

SETIGERA.  Prairie  Rose.  A  splendid  variety 
for  growing  on  terraces,  banks,  and  amongst  hardy 
shrubs.  The  foliage  is  large  and  attractive,  and  in 
fall  assumes  wonderful  shades  of  orange  and  crimson; 
and  while  in  bloom  with  its  long  arching  branches 
covered  with  large  single  pink  blossoms  it  makes  a 
delightful  effect.  Each,  75c;  Dozen,  $7.50. 

RHODOTYPOS— Jetbead 

KERRIOIDES.  Not  usually  considered  succeeding 
in  Colorado;  but  we  have  it  where  protected  from 
the  west  winds.  Some  shrubs  we  planted  in  different 
towns  over  twelve  years  ago  are  still  doing  well.  A 
very  handsome  shrub,  about  4  to  5  feet  high,  leaves 
bright  green,  and  single  white  flowers  about  an  inch 
across,  followed  by  berries  that  are  retained  all  wnnter. 
Each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.00. 

FALL  COLOR  AGAIN! 

For  fall  color  don’t  miss  the  Sumac.

fects,  and  have  brilliant  red  berries,  turning  black  as 
they  ripen. 

CATHARTICA.  Common  Buckthorn. 

Each,  50c  and  75c;  Dozen,  $5.00  and  $7.50.

liant  green  leaves,  good  fall  color.  Each,  50c  and  75c; 
Dozen  $5  00  and  $7.50. 

RHUS — Sumac  (2) 

These  are  most  attractive  shrubs  with  large,  fern¬ 
like  leaves  that  turn  the  most  wonderful  colors  in 
fall.  Are  best  used  back  of  smaller  shrubs.  All  the 
Sumacs  may  be  cut  back  to  the  ground,  when  they 
will  soon  send  up  new  stalks. 

COPALLINA.  (Shining  Sumac).  A  medium¬ 
growing  shrub,  crimson  fall  effects;  the  most  brilliant 
of  all. 

SMOOTH  SUMAC  (Glabra).  Medium  to  tall

dwarf  in  habit  has  very  finely  divided  foliage  even 
finer  than  the  R.  typhina  laciniata  and  colors  to 
tones  of  deep  red  and  purple  in  autumn  makes  a 
fine  grouping  with  R.  typhina  laciniata  and  R  typhina. 
Each  $1.00;  Dozen  $10.00. 

STAGHORN  SUMAC.  Typhina).  A  tall  tree¬

and  65c;  Dozen  $5.00  and  $6.50. 

The  Staghorn  and  Cut  Leaf  Staghorn  become  too 
large  for  the  small  garden-  or  for  Foundation  Plant¬ 
ings  unless  kept  cut  back.  They  may  be  cut  at  any 
time.

SOME  SHRUBS  HAVE  BEAUTY,  SOME  HAVE 
UTILITY,  SOME  HAVE  BOTH.  Ribes,  Flowering 
Currants,  belong  to  the  latter  class.  Do  you  know  what 
a  wild  currant  pie  is  like ?  Oh,  Boy!  with  a  cup  of 
coffee  you  can't  beat  it.

variety  of  the  Elder.  Has  the  same  splendid  heads  of 
white  flowers,  followed  by  brilliant  red  berries.  Very 
showy.  Each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.00. 


The  Best  Early  Blooming  Spiraea 


Spiraea  Multiflora 


THE  BEST  “BRIDAL  WREATH” 

The  best  “ Bridalwreath”  for  the  middle  west-Colorado, 
Wyoming,  and  adjoining  states,  is  Spiraea  Multiflora. 
I  say  this  advisedly.  If  you  wish  the  one  that  is  the  most 
profuse  bloomer,  and  the  or,e  that  is  most  certain  to 
bloom,  this  is  it. 

There  has  been  quite  a  little  confusion  regarding  this 
Spiraea,  it  being  sold  under  the  names,  "spiraea  Ar~ 
guta”  and  “ Spiraea  Multiflora  Arguta."  These  two 
are  quite  distinct,  but  the  trade  in  general  has  been 
quite  confused  regarding  them.  MOST  catalogues  have 
simply  used  the  name  "Arguta” ,  and  tw  different  plants 
have  been  sent  out  under  this  name.  “ Arguta ”  is  a  hybrid 
of  Thun.bergi  and  Multiflora,  and  is  a  very  poor  shrub 
for  this  district.  The  latest  approved  name  for  the  one 
I  refer  to  is  “ Spiraea  Multiflora” .  This  is  THE  best 
"Bridalwreath” ,  properly,  "S NO  WG ARLAN D” ,  for 
the  middle  west,  —  Colorado,  Wyoming  and  adjoining 
states.  It  is  the  most  profuse  bloomer,  is  hardy,  and  the 
flowers  are  rarely  injured  by  spring  frost. 

SPIRAEA 

The  Spiraeas  form  a  large  group  of  our  best  garden 
shrubs,  with  a  great  variety  of  flower  and  foliage.  The 
well-known  Bridal  Wreath  belongs  to  this  group.  The 
spring-flowering  group  are  well  adapted  for  base 
plantings  around  houses,  etc.,  as  are  also  the  Sor- 
barias,  which  formerly  were  classed  with  Spiraeas. 
If  the  early  Spiraeas  are  closely  pruned  immediately 
after  blooming  the  foliage  will  become  more  feathery 
and  the  quantity  of  bloom  for  the  following  year 
greatly  increased. 

EARLY  FLOWERING  SPIRAEAS 

AITCHISONI.  See  Sorbaria  Aitchisoni. 

LINDLEYANA.  See  Sorbaria  Lindleyana. 

PRUNIFOLIA.  Bridalwreath.  This  is  the  variety 
that  is  known  in  the  east  as  Bridal-wreath.  It  flowers 
but  sparingly  in  Colorado,  and  as  the  foliage  is  not 
as  attractive  as  the  Van  Houttei,  Multiflora  and 
Thumbergi,  growing  tall  and  somewhat  spindly,  we 
do  not  recommend  it.  Each,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.00. 

SNOWGARLAND.  Spiraea  Multiflora.  This  is 
the  best  early,  white  Spiraea,  has  splendid  foliage, 
which  assumes  lovely  fall  colors,  and  in  spring  is 
literally  smothered  under  masses  of  pure  white  flowers, 
making  it  a  “Garland  of  Snow".  It  is  about  the  same 
height  as  the  well-known  Van  Houttei,  and  makes  a 
good  companion  for  it,  as  it  blooms  several  weeks 
earlier.  If  pruned  back  severely  immediately  after 
blooming,  it  will  feather  out  very  quickly,  with  thicker 
foliage  and  more  bloom  for  the  following  season. 
Should  have  Japanese  Barberry,  or  some  other  dwarf 
shrub  planted  in  front  of  it,  as  it  is  what  we  call  a 


THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO., 


BOULDER,  COLORADO 


“leggy''  shrub.  The  plant  usually  sent  out  under  this 
name  is  “Arguta";  it  is  much  easier  to  propagate, 
but  it  is  practically  worthless  here.  Our  stock  is 
grown  from  cuttings,  and  is  the  true  variety.  Each, 
75c;  Dozen,  $7.50.  A  few  larger  plants  at  $1.00 
Dozen,  $10.00. 

SO  RBI  FOLI A  STELLAPEDA.  See  Sorbaria 
Stellapeda. 

THUNDERGI-THUNBERG’S  SPIRAEA.  A  beau¬ 
tiful  dwarf  sort  with  flowers  similar  to  Van  Houtte, 
coming  early  in  the  spring.  If  it  had  no  flowers  at 
all  I  would  consider  it  one  of  our  best  shrubs,  as  it 
has  very  dainty  foliage,  turns  beautifully  in  the 
autumn,  and  holds  its  foliage  later  than  any  shrub  I 
grow.  Last  fall  it  was  in  full  leaf  well  into  December; 
when  every  other  shrub  had  long  been  bare.  Each, 
65c;  Dozen,  $7.00. 

VANHOUTTE  SPIRAEA.  This  is  the  variety 
that  is  known  in  Colorado  as  “Bridalwreath”  and  is 
one  of  the  best  shrubs,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most 
popular.  If  it  grows  too  high  it  may  be  pruned  back 
immediately  after  blooming,  when  it  will  feather  out 
at  once  and  make  a  graceful  effect,  and  will  also  set 
more  abundant  bloom  buds  for  the  following  season. 
Do  NOT  cut  it  off  straight  across  the  top,  but  try 
and  maintain  the  rounding  form  of  the  shrubs.  Also 
do  NOT  cut  off  the  smaller  stems  that  come  from  the 
root.  They  are  the  ones  that  lend  grace  to  this  shrub. 

Good  stocky  plants,  2  to  3  feet,  50c;  Dozen,  $5.00; 
3  to  4  feet,  65c;  Dozen,  $6.50;  4  to  5  feet  stock,  75c; 
Dozen,  $7.50. 

These  are  ALL  good  stocky  plants;  all  you  can  ask. 


SUMMER-FLOWERING  SPIRAEAS 

There  are  so  few  summer-blooming  shrubs  in  our 
gardens  that  most  gardeners  will  welcome  our  large 
list  of  summer-blooming  Spiraeas;  some  of  them  like 
Margaritae,  Callosa  alba,  Anthony  Waterer  continuing 
well  along  into  September. 

BILLARDI.  A  hybrid  variety  4  to  5  feet  high 
with  bright  pink  flowers  in  long  dense  panicles.  Very 
showy  and  attractive  and  fine  for  cutting. 

BUMALDA.  A  remarkably  free  flowering  shrub 
2  feet  in  height  flowers  deep  pink  in  large  flat-topped 
clusters  throughout  the  summer  and  fall. 

BUMALDA,  ANTHONY  WATERER.  A  dwarf 
variety  with  bright  rosy-crimson  (I  call  it  magenta) 
flowers  all  summer.  Though  I  don’t  care  for  magenta 
flowers  this  is  quite  effective  when  planted  in  front 
of  deep  green  foliage  and  kept  away  from  other 
colors. 

BUMALDA.  FROBELI.  A  new  variety  about 
three  feet  in  height  has  attractive  foliage  and  bright 
pink  flowers  in  broad  flat-topped  clusters  borne 
freely  all  summer.  In  addition  to  its  attractive  flowers 
this  shrub  makes  an  unusual  show  in  the  spring; 
when  the  foliage  first  appears  it  is  almost  red  and 
from  a  distance  the  shrubs  look  as  if  they  were  covered 
with  bright  red  flowers.  Very  showy. 

CALLOSA  ALBA.  A  pretty  little  dwarf  variety 
with  flat  heads  of  pure  white  flowers  borne  con¬ 
tinuously  through  the  summer  if  the  faded  blossoms 
are  picked.  A  fine  plant  for  the  edge  of  the  shrub 
border. 

CALLOSA  ROSEA.  A  tall  variety  with  attractive 
foliage  the  leaves  being  tipped  with  red  has  flowers 
of  a  pleasing  shade  of  pink. 

CALLOSA  SUPERBA.  Similar  to  Callosa  Rosea 
but  taller  in  habit  has  very  pleasing  shade  of  pink 
flowers.  Each  75c;  Dozen  $750. 

DOUGLASI.  Pink  flowers  in  finger-like  panicles. 
This  is  one  of  the  most  attractive  of  the  Summer¬ 
flowering  Spiraeas,  and  is  in  bloom  from  August  until 
frost.  A  splendid  addition  to  our  late  flowering  shrubs. 
You  will  like  it. 

MARGARITAE.  One  of  the  most  attractive  of 
the  new  varieties.  Grows  about  2  feet  in  height  has 
attractive  foliage  which  assumes  beautiful  shades  of 
reddish-bronze  in  autumn  and  carries  flat  heads  of 
flowers  of  a  pleasing  shade  of  pink  throughout  the 
summer.  Faded  flowers  should  be  cut.  One  of  the 
best.  Each  75c. 

PANICULATA  ROSEA.  A  tall  variety  with 
pyramidal  panicles  of  light  pink  flowers. 

TOMENTOSA.  A  hardy  and  distinct  variety, 
native  from  Canada  to  Kansas  grows  3  to  4  feet 
high  and  has  deep  pink  flowers  in  narrow  dense 
spikes  3  to  8  inches  long. 

Price  of  Summer-blooming  Spiraea  except  where 
noted  Each  65c;  Dozen  $7.00.  These  are  good 
strong  plants.  We  have  a  few  of  a  smaller  size  in 
Callosa  alba  Douglassi  and  Paniculata  rosea  at  50c; 
$5.00  per  dozen. 


Aristocrats  of  the  Garden 

“Chinese  Wilson"  the  man  who  has  hunted  the 
world  over  for  new  plants  and  who  has  introduced 
so  many  of  our  new  garden  aristocrats  puts  the 
Sorbarias  in  this  class.  If  you  do  not  know  them, 
you  are  missing  some  of  our  most  beautiful  shrubs. 
They  ARE  “aristocrats”.  See  picture  below. 

SORBARIA — False-Spiraea  (3) 

Until  recently  these  were  classed  with  the  Spiraeas 
though  they  are  quite  distinct  both  in  flower  and 
foliage.  All  have  attractive  foliage  resembling  the 
Mountain  Ash  — Sorbus  Aucuparia — from  which  they 
take  their  name  The  plants  are  tall  and  slender  with 
handsome  fern-like  leaves  and  beautiful  foamy  white 
flowers.  Aitkinsoni  and  Lindleyana  should  be  used 
towards  the  back  of  the  shrub  border  and  Sorbifolia 
stellapeda  about  the  centre. 

AITCHISONI.  A  tall  variety  5  to  6  feet  with 
foliage  finely-divided  like  a  fern  and  large  panicles 
of  double  foamy-white  flowers.  A  most  beautiful 
shrub.  Each  $1.00;  Dozen  $10.00. 

LINDLEYANA.  Similar  to  Aitchisoni  but  not 
so  tall  and  as  it  sometimes  is  winter-killed  it  should 
be  cut  to  the  ground  in  the  spring  when  it  will  make 
a  very  raDid  growth,  attaining  its  full  height  along 
in  June.  Flowers  similar  to  the  preceding  but  single. 
Very  attractive.  Each  $1.00;  Dozen  $10.00. 

SORBIFOLIA  STELLAPEDA.  Another  new  va¬ 
riety  and  a  great  improvement  on  the  sorbifolia 
(this  we  do  not  list);  the  foliage  is  attractive  much 
like  Aitchisoni  dwarfer  in  habit  and  has  immense 
pyramidal  panicles  of  white  double  flowers.  One  of 
the  most  attractive  shrubs  we  know  of.  Scarce. 
Each  $1.00;  Dozen  $10.00. 

SYRINGA-Lilac 

Although  our  Colorado  Seasons  are  not  always 
favorable  for  the  Lilac  we  all  have  a  sentimental 
attachment  to  this  wondrously  beautiful  and  delight¬ 
fully  fragrant  flower  that  when  we  do  have  a  favorable 
spring  we  feel  amply  repaid  for  the  little  care  they 
have  been.  If  Lilacs  are  pruned  immediately  after 
blooming  they  will  make  new  growth  at  once  and 
will  set  a  fuller  crop  of  blossoms  for  the  following

NEW  FRENCH  HYBRID  LILACS 


These  are  great  improvements  on  the  common 
Lilacs  in  color  size  of  both  flower  and  truss;  the 
common  sort  usually  has  to  attain  some  age  before 
blooming:  while  these  sorts  frequently  bloom  when 
less  than  two  feet  in  height.  If  you  plant  Lilacs  be 
sure  and  include  these  beautiful  hybrids. 

ALPHONSE  LAVALLEE.  An  attractive  shade 
of  lavender-blue.  $1.50. 

CHARLES  X.  A  bright  reddish-purple.  Fine. 
$1.50.

season.  Plant  where  they  will  be  protected  from  the 
sun  in  the  early  spring.  Another  good  plan  to  insure 
bloom  is  to  dig  a  trench  about  them  during  the  win¬ 
ter  fill  it  with  water  and  when  it  has  frozen  solid 
put  a  heavy  mulch  of  leaves  or  litter  on  the  ground 
so  that  the  frost  will  be  retained  as  long  as  possible. 
This  will  retard  the  budding  process  and  will  usually 
insure  bloom. 

If  given  a  rich  soil  and  some  lime  Lilacs  will  grow 
more  luxuriantly  and  bloom  more  profusely. 


We  have  a  few  Lilacs  grown  in  tree  form  that 
make  most  attractive  specimens  for  the  lawn. 

White  Tree  Lilac  $1.50. 

Purple  Lilac  Tree  form.  $1.50. 


LILAC 

JAPONICA.  Japanese  Tree  Lilac.  This  makes 
a  tall  symmetrical  tree-like  shrub  with  clusters  of 
white  flowers  in  June  long  after  other  Lilacs  are  gone. 
Is  never  caught  by  the  frost.  It  makes  a  handsome 
lawn  ornament.  Each  $1.25  and  $1.50;  Dozen 
$12.00  and  $15.00. 

JOSIKAEA.  Hungarian  Lilac  A  late-blooming 
Lilac  coming  in  June  and  a  sure  bloomer  has  dainty 
lavender-pink  flowers.  A  splendid  variety  for  the 
shrub  border.  Each  $1.25  and  $1.50;  Dozen  $14.00 
and  $15.00. 

PERSICA.  Persian  Lilac.  Makes  a  much  more 
attractive  shrub  than  the  common  Lilac  and  has 
very  dainty  loose  clusters  of  light  purple  fiowers. 
Each  75c  and  $1.00;  Dozen  $8.00  and  $10.00. 

PERSICA  ALBA.  White  Persian  Lilac.  A  most 
attractive  white  variety  of  the  Persian.  Each  $1.25; 
Dozen  $15.00. 

CHINENSIS.  Chinese  Lilac.  This  has  the  same 
good  foliage  as  the  Persian  Lilac  and  beautiful  deep 
reddish-purple  flowers.  A  most  attractive  sort.  Each 
$1.00  and  $1.25;  Dozen  $10.00  and  $12.50. 

VILLOSA.  Late  Lilac.  A  late  blooming  sort 
with  flowers  of  a  pale  washed-out-looking- lavender. 
Not  attractive.  We  have  a  few  if  you  wish  them. 
Each  75c. 

VULGARIS.  Common  Lilac.  The  old-fashioned 
purple  fragrant  Lilac  beloved  by  everyone.  Each 
50c  75 c  and  $1.00;  Dozen  $5.00  $8.00  and  $10.00.

TAMARIX  (2) 

Large  shrubs  with  beautiful  feathery  foliage,  some¬ 
thing  like  the  Cedar  in  effect  and  dainty  flowers  in 
racemes  in  May  and  June.  Splendid  for  cutting.  See

brightest  of  the  family.  Scarce.  Each,  65c;  Dozen, 
$7.00;  Larger,  75c;  Dozen,  $8.00.  Some  very  large 
plants  at  $1.00. 


AND  YET  AGAIN— FALL  COLOR 

For  fail  color,  both  in  foliage  and  fruit  it  is  hard 
to  beat  the  Vibirnums.  We  have  a  new  variety  we 
hope  to  offer  in  a  year  or  two.  The  fall  colors  are  the 
loveliest  1  ever  saw.  Any  lady  who  could  reproduce 
these  on  her  fall  hat  could  never  be  torn  away  from 
her  mirror.

SYMPHORICARPUS— Snowberry  (3) 

VULGARIS.  (Coralberry) .  Grows  two  to  three 
feet  in  height  has  very  attractive  foliage  that  is  held 
well  into  the  winter  and  quantities  of  deep  wine-red 
berries.  Each  40c;  Dozen  $4.50;  Larger  50c;  Dozen 
$5.50. 

RACEOMOSA.  (Snowberry).  Somewhat  taller 
than  the  Indian  Currant  and  has  clusters  of  snow- 
white  berries  that  are  held  until  late  in  the  fall.  One 
of  the  most  attractive  of  the  berried  shrubs.  These 
make  a  most  attractive  display  in  the  garden  in  Oc¬ 
tober  and  November,  and  also  make  good  decorations 
for  the  house,  as  they  keep  well  after  being  cut.  Used 
with  the  red  berries  of  the  Coralberry  the  effect  is 
very  pleasing.  Each,  50c;  Dozen,  $5.50;  Larger,  60c; 
Dozen  $6.50. 


WEIGELA  (1) 

Most  attractive  shrubs  four  to  six  feet  in  height  with

being  the  most  attractive.  Although  the  time  of  bloom 
is  usually  in  May  or  June  they  frequently  have  some 
flowers  throughout  the  entire  summer.  Should  be  pro¬ 
tected  from  west  winds.

on  the  order  of  the  Purple  Barberry  which  we  are 
now  forbidden  to  grow.  $1.00. 

ROSEA.  A  beautiful  rose-pink.  The  best. 

Price  of  Weigela  except  where  noted  Each  75c; 
Dozen  $8.00. 


VIBURNUM  (1) 


The  Viburnums  are  amongst  the  most 
attractive  of  our  shrubs:  personally  I 
prefer  them  to  any,  as  they  have  so 
many  good  qualities.  They  all  have  good 
foliage  that  turns  most  attractively  in 
autumn,  large  heads  of  white  flowers 
followed  by  red.  blue  or  black  berries 
that  are  carried  well  into  the  fall,  and 
in  the  American  form  of  Viburnum  Opu- 
lus.  all  winter.  They  are  large-growir 
shrubs  and  should  be  planted  back  ^1 
of  most  other  sorts.  The  well-known  Snowball  belongs 
to  this  family,  and  in  my  opinion,  all  the  other  vari¬ 
eties  are  much  more  attractive  than  this  favorite. 

AMERICANUM.  An  American  variety  of  the 
High  Bush  Cranberry,  and  superior  to  the  European 
sort.  The  foliage  turns  to  a  brilliant  scarlet  in  autumn, 
making  a  regular  bush  of  fire,  and  the  berries  are 
held  until  late  spring.  Scarce.  Each,  $1.25  and  $1.50. 

DENTATUM.  A  bushy  sort  with  an  abundance 
of  white  flowers  in  June,  which  are  followed  by  blue- 
black  berries.  Fine  fall  colors.  See  illustration,  page 

LANTANA.  A  large  shrub  with  pretty  wrinkled 
leaves  that  turn  a  deep  plum  color  in  autumn,  large 
clusters  of  white  flowers,  followed  by  bright  red  ber¬ 
ries  which  turn  to  black  as  they  ripen.  If  you  want 
to  see  young  robins  "stuff"  themselves,  watch  them 
on  a  bush  of  Lantana. 

LENT  AGO.  One  of  the  best,  becomes  almost  a 
small  tree,  white  flowers,  blue-black  berries  held  over 
until  spring,  and  very  brilliant  orange-red  fall  foliage. 

OPULUS.  High  Bush  Cranberry.  Similar  to  the 
Snowball,  but  ha<=  flat  heads  of  flowers,  followed  by 
red  berries.  Good  fall  colors. 

OPULUS  STERILIS.  Snowball.  The  well-known 
Snowball.  Each,  75c  and  $1.00. 

PRUNIFOLIUM  SHEEPBERRY.  A  large  grow¬ 
ing  shrub  with  flat  clusters  of  white  flowers  followed 
by  black  berries,  attractive  fall  colors. 

Price  of  Viburnums  except  where  noted.  Each, 
75c  and  $1.00:  Dozen,  $8.00  and  $10.00. 


DID  YOU  KNOW? 

Did  you  know  that  you  could  ut  long  branches  of 
bloom  of  the  Tamarix,  and  that  it  would  dry  and  keep 
all  winter,  retaining  its  bright  cam  in  -pink  color?  It 
will.  I  have  a  large  bunch  of  it  now,  in  January,  and 
it  looks  just  as  bright  as  it  did  when  c a-  These  are  the 
most  attractive  "dried"  flowers  I  have  ever  seen.  They 
make  a  splendid  combination  with  our  Eulalias.  ( See

SUTHERLAND  HARDY  HEDGES 


HEDGES 

An  enclosure  of  some  kind  for  the  Garden  or  Grounds 
is  often  desirable,  and  in  many  cases  a  Hedge  is  pre¬ 
ferable  to  a  fence.  The  English  type  of  house  almost 
demands  a  Hedge;  and  a  house  of  formal  character 
appears  more  in  character  when  enclosed  by  a  hedge. 
Hedges  also  make  attractive  backgrounds  for  Flower 
Gardens;  and  they  may  also  be  used  to  good  advan¬ 
tage  along  walks,  drives,  etc.  You  will  find  below 
many  suggestions  for  hedges  If  a  flowering  shrub 
is  used  do  not  expect  it  to  bloom  if  kept  clipped,  as 
the  flowering  wood  is  then  lost.  Unclipped  hedges 
are  often  preferable,  and  when  left  to  grow  naturally 
you  will  have  full  advantage  of  the  bloom.  Spiraeas 
Barberries.  Snowberries,  certain  Roses  and  Lilacs  may¬ 
be  used  for  this  purpose. 

TRIMMED  HEDGES 

A  well-kept  hedge  makes  an  attractive  enclosure  for 
the  lawn  in  front  of  a  residence;  and  also  for  enclosing 
any  formal  part  of  the  garden.  For  this  purpose  our 
Polish  Privet  is  the  best  ‘  Trimmed  Hedge''  for  Colo¬ 
rado.  The  California  and  most  other  Privets  sold  here 
are  not  hardy.  Privet  should  be  plantea  one  foot  apart , 
or  if  a  thick  hedge  is  wanted  qickly,  plant  two  rows  one 
foot  apart,  with  the  plants  one  foot  apart  in  the  rows, 
and  "staggered."  Plant  several  inches  deeper  than  the 
plants  have  stood  in  the  row,  and  cut  back  to  within 
a  few  inches  of  the  ground;  then  cut  back  again  to  six 
or  eight  inches  early  in  July.  The  following  spring 
cut  back  all  but  two  to  three  inches  of  the  newer  wood, 
and  repeat  in  July  This  process  should  be  continued 
until  the  desired  height  is  obtained.

the  flowering  wood  is  then  lost.  See  page  36  for 
description.  $18.00  per  hundred. 


RUSSIAN  OLIVE  makes  an  attractive  large 
hedge  The  foliage  is  small,  is  a  good  color  makes 
a  dense  hedge,  and  when  established  will  turn  cattle

Extra  strong  plants  $10.00  per  hundred. 

CHERRY  HILL  COUNTRY  CLUB,  Denver  has 
a  fine  hedge  of  Russian  Olive  furnished  by  us. 


ANOTHER  SPLENDID  HEDGE 

Another  splendid  large  hedge  can  be  made  with 
Hawthorns;  in  fact  they  make  the  most  beautiful 
large  hedges;  and  as  they  are  very  thorny  animals 
could  not  get  through  them.  Even  a  dog  would  give 
them  a  wide  berth.  Plants  suitable  for  hedges  $30.00 
per  hundred. 


DID  YOU  EVER  SEE  A  BOX  HEDGE? 

Did  you  ever  see  a  Box  Hedge?  All  of  the  Old 
Colonial  Gardens  had  the  Flower  Beds  enclosed  by- 
Box  Hedges.  It  has  been  the  ambition  of  all  lovers 
of  the  formal  in  gardens  to  have  a  box  hedge;  but 
this  has  been  impossible  in  this  country  except  in 
the  South.  But  w-e  can  now  have  them.  Our  New 
Lowdense  Privet  has  foliage  almost  as  small  as  the 
Box;  it  is  just  as  dense;  and  makes  a  delightful  little 
hedge  that  can  be  kept  as  low  as  six  inches.  Now  we 
can  have  real  Formal  Gardens.  We  have  been  building 
up  a  stock  of  this  since  it  was  first  introduced  about 
three  years  ago  and  can  now  offer  it  as  low  as  the 
common  privet. 

LOWDENSE  PRIVET.  The  New  Hardy  Privet 
for  Box  Hedges.  Extra  strong  Plants  $25.00  per 
hundred;  Good  young  Plants,  $15.00  per  hundred. 


VINES  AS  HEDGES 

An  attractive  flowering  hedge  may  be  made  by 
stringing  poultry  wire  between  posts  and  covering 
with  Honeysuckle  and  then  keeping  them  clipped 
rather  close.  The  best  varieties  for  this  purpose  are 
Halls  and  The  Chinese  Evergreen.  Ampelopsis  and 
Clematis  Paniculata  may  also  be  used  but  are  more 
ragged  in  appearance.  We  can  furnish  small  sizes 
of  these  vines  with  the  exception  of  the  Chinese 
Evergreen  Honeysuckle  suitable  for  such  hedges  at: 
$25.00  per  hundred.

SUTHERLAND  EVERGREENS 


SUTHERLAND  “MADE-IN-COLORADO”  EVERGREENS 


EVERGREENS  IN  THE  GARDEN 

What  does  “ Evergreen ”  suggest  to  your  mind?  To 
some  it  means  the  mountains,  to  others  it  suggests  a 
cemetery;  to  people  who  know  it  suggests  the  most  beau¬ 
tiful  trees  and  shrubs  “ nature ”  has  provided  for  use 
in  our  Gardens,  Parks  and  Grounds. 

All  Pines  are  Ever  greens,  but  not  all  Evergreens  are 
Pines.  To  some  people  all  evergreens  are  Pines,  or  all 
Spruces.  I  planted  some  in  a  well-known  Denver  gar¬ 
den,  and  some  visitors  to  the  garden  asked  me  to  settle 
a  dispute  as  to  whether  they  were  “ evergreens "  or  “ Christ¬ 
mas  Trees".  We  have  about  fifty  distinct  varieties  of 
"Evergreens" ,  from  plants  that  do  not  grow  more  than 
a  few  inches  in  height,  to  trees  that  will  eventually  grow 
to  fifty  feet  or  more.  An  Ever  green  for  the  tiniest  garden. 
An  Evergreen  for  the  largest  estate. 

Evergreens  give  us  lovely  color  and  texture  in  the 
garden  during  the  four  or  five  months  when  all  other 
foliage  is  gone.  They  make  splendid  backgrounds  for 
flowers,  etc.  Nothing  can  rival  them  for  lending  grace, 
variety  and  winter  color  and  interest  to  "Foundation" 
planting ;  they  make  splendid  specimens  for  large  lawns, 
parks,  etc.,  and  for  use  in  marking  formal  notes,  in  the 
garden  they  are  in  a  class  by  themselves.  Do  not  have 
a  garden  without  evergreens.  Some  are  small  enough 
to  look  in  proportion  in  a  garden  ten  feet  square,  and 
their  many  forms  and  textures  make  them  delightful 
subjects  for  all  types  of  gardening.  They  take  away 
the  look  of  "newness,  from  a  house  quicker  than  any¬ 
thing  you  can  plant.  THERE  IS  AN  EVERGREEN 
FOR  EVERY  PURPOSE. 

PLANTING  EVERGREENS 

When  planting  evergreens  do  not  remove  burlap  in 
which  they  are  wrapped.  Dig  a  hole  somewhat  larger 
than  is  required,  and  fill  in  with  loose  soil  to  the  proper 
depth,  then  firm  it  down  so  that  the  plant  will  not  sink 
below  the  proper  level,  set  the  plant  in  place,  untie  the 
burlap  from  around  the  stem,  and  turn  it  back  so  that 
the  earth  on  the  top  of  the  ball  is  exposed,  then  fill  in 
the  earth  all  around  and  tamp  firmly.  Never  set  more 
than  one  to  two  inches  deeper  than  they  have  stood 
in  the  nursery  row.  The  color  on  the  stem  above  the 
earth  ball  will  determine  this.  See  that  it  is  watered 
thoroughly,  not  just  sprinkled,  soak  until  the  earth 
will  not  take  up  any  more  moisture;  it  will  take  some 
time  for  the  water  to  thoroughly  permeate  the  ball 
of  earth  around  the  evergreen. 

If  you  cannot  plant  immediately  after  the  stock  is 
received,  submerge  each  earth  ball  in  a  tub  of  water 
for  several  minutes,  then  stand  trees  together  in  an 
upright  position  in  the  shade,  and  out  of  the  wind 
and  throw  a  covering  of  hay  or  loose  packing  material 
about  the  earth  balls  and  wet  down  to  retain  moisture. 
The  earth  balls  must  NEVER  be  allowed  to  dry  out. 
They  will  keep  in  good  condition  this  way  for  some 
days  if  kept  moist.  DRYING  ONCE  IS  FATAL. 

Do  not  use  manure  of  any  description  around  ever¬ 
greens.  In  the  fall  hay  leaves  or  straw  should  be 
applied  as  a  mulch  and  then  dug  in  the  spring.  Water 
frequently  and  keep  the  ground  well  cultivated. 


Why  Evergreens? 


Colorado  Juniper  (Juniperus  Scopulorum) 
One  Of  The  Best  Upright  Forms 


Our  Evergreens  are  grown  here  in  our  nursery,  not 
collected  in  the  mountains.  Our  stock  is  frequently 
transplanted,  thus  developing  a  compact  root  system  so 
that  when  dug  for  shipping  ALL  the  roots  are  saved, 
insuring  the  growth  of  the  tree.  Our  soil  is  particularly 
adapted  to  the  handling  of  Evergreens  and  our  stock 
is  dug  with  a  firm  ball  of  earth,  and  securly  burlaped 
for  shipping.  The  roots  are  NOT  cut  in  digging;  you 
can  count  on  every  tree  growing. 

OUR  EVERGREENS  ARE  SURE 
TO  GROW 

Our  evergreens  have  been  frequently  transplanted 
in  our  nursery;  and  when  delivered  to  you  they  are 
dug  with  a  ball  of  earth  securely  wrapped  and  tied 
so  that  the  earth  cannot  become  loose  around  the 
roots.  If  properly  handled  and  planted  they  will 
grow — without  exception. 

JUNIPERUS— Juniper 

The  Junipers  Cedars  as  we  are  accustomed  to  call¬ 
ing  them  have  many  forms  and  habits  so  that  we  can 
select  a  Juniper  that  will  be  appropriate  for  any  posi¬ 
tion  or  purpose.  Some  are  prostrate  trailing  along  the 


ground  others  are  more  upright  and  are  adapted  for 
use  in  connection  with  shrubs  others  again  are  tall  and 
columnar  in  form  and  make  trees  of  considerable 
height  but  they  are  all  beautiful  and  worthy  of  a 
place  in  the  smallest  garden  or  the  largest  estate. 

CANNART  REDCEDAR.  Virginiana  cannarti. 

A  fine  pyramidal  compact  grower  of  dark  green 
appearance  retains  its  winter  color  well  some  of  the 
branches  lenghen  out  and  droop  making  a  very  grace¬ 
ful  effect.  One  of  the  most  beautiful  “Cedars”.  2  to 
2^  feet  $5.00;  2j£  to  3  feet  $7.00;  3  to  4  feet  $10.00. 

CHINENSIS.  Chinese  Juniper.  A  splendid  new 
evergreen  of  pyramidal  habit.  The  foliage  is  of  a 
bluish  green  some  becoming  decidedly  blue  in  the 
winter  others  retaining  a  brilliant  green.  One  of  the 
handsomest  of  the  evergreens  for  the  small  garden 
unusually  beautiful  at  all  seasons.  1  to  feet 

$4.00;  1^  to  2  feet  $6.00;  2  to  3  feet  $8.00. 

COLUMN  CHINESE  JUNIPER 

PYRAMIDAL  CHINESE  JUNIPER.  This  is  a 
variety  recently  introduced  by  the  U.  S.  department 
of  Agriculture  and  is  one  of  the  finest  evergreens 
grown.  It  forms  a  distinct  narrow  pyramid  much 
on  the  order  of  the  Italian  Cypress.  It  comes  in  two 
colors  green  and  blue  and  the  brilliant  color  is  held

THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


during  the  winter.  This  is  the  extreme  narrow 
growing  evergreen  that  so  many  gardeners  have  been 
looking  for.  Blue  Form  1  to  iH  feet  $5.00;  3  to  4 
feet,  $12.00.  Green  Form  1  to  iH  feet  $5.00. 

COMMUNIS.  Common  Juniper.  This  is  a 
variety  we  secured  from  Europe  before  the  war  and 
have  but  a  few  plants  left.  It  makes  a  tall  erect 
plant  a  shrub  rather  than  a  tree.  The  foliage  is  a  very 
pleasing  shade  of  green  both  summer  and  winter.  It 
is  a  good  plant  for  the  small  garden  and  is  particularly 
effective  in  winter  when  covered  with  its  dark  blue 
glaucous  fruit  to  3  feet,  $5.00;  3  to  4  feet,  $7.00; 

4  to  5  feet,  $9.50. 

PROSTRATE  JUNIPER.  A  prostrate  variety  of 
communis.  This  is  a  creeping  juniper  similar  to  the 
one  found  in  our  mountains  but  holding  a  better 
winter  color.  In  our  nursery  they  are  a  bright  green 
or  a  blue-green  all  winter.  This  is  a  splendid  ever¬ 
green  for  planting  on  banks  or  terraces  or  as  a  ground 
cover  in  connection  with  other  evergreens  and^for 
"foundation"  plantings. 

1  to  1  H  feet  $3.50;  1  H  to  2  feet  $4  50;  2  to  3 
feet  $6.50;  3  to  4  feet  $8.50;  4  to  5  feet.  $11.00; 

5  to  6  feet  $  1 4  00. 

PFITZER  JUNIPER.  One  of  the  most  striking 
Junipers  somewhat  irregular  in  habit  with  branches 
spreading  nearly  horizontally  as  broad  as  tall  the 
feathery  bluish-green  foliage  giving  the  plant  a  very 
distinct  and  graceful  appearance.  Our  stock  of  this 
is  limited  but  we  still  have  a  number  of  fine  plants. 

1  to  feet  $4.00;  1^  to  2  feet  $6.50;  2  to  2j4 

feet  $9.00;  2 Yi  to  3  feet  $11.00;  3  to  4  feet  $15.00. 

SABINA.  (Savin  Juniper).  For  planting  with 
shrubs  and  for  base  planting  in  front  of  porches 
etc.  this  is  without  a  rival.  The  foliage  is  dainty 
and  the  form  is  quite  picturesque.  Seldom  grows 
over  3  feet  in  height  and  spreads  out  fan  shape. 

This  is  the  most  beautiful  of  all  the  small  Junipers; 
and  we  consider  ourselves  fortunate  in  having  a  good 
stock  of  it  as  it  is  becoming  very  scarce.  Our  prices 
are  in  line  with  those  of  any  first  class  nursery  in  the 
country  and  if  you  figure  on  the  freight  you  would 
have  to  pay  from  an  eastern  nursery  they  are  much 
.ower.  On  small  sizes  freight  from  the  "east"  would 
run  well  on  to  two  dollars  each  and  express  very 
much  higher. 

15  to  18  inches  $4.00;  1^  to  2  feet  $6.00;  2  to 

2  ]/2  feet  $8.00;  2  to  3  feet  $10.00;  3  to  4  feet 
$12.50;  4  to  5  feet  $15.00. 

SCOPULORUM.  Colorado  Juniper  This  is  the 
"Cedar"  with  the  bright  silvery  foliage  found  in  our 
Colorado  mountains.  It  is  tall  and  columnar  in  habit 
and  is  particularly  well  adapted  for  use  where  a  for¬ 
mal  note  is  wanted  in  the  garden.  A  pair  of  these 
with  a  garden  seat  between  makes  a  most  attractive 
picture.  The  best  known  and  most  popular  cedar  in 
Colorado.  Our  stock  is  NOT  gathered  from  the 
mountains  but  is  nursery  grown  from  seedlings, 
the  trees  are  well-shaped  specimens  that  have  been 
several  times  sheared  to  make  them  bushy  and  dense 
in  texture.  We  notice  one  of  the  best-known  eastern 
nurseries  offering  2  to  2^  feet  at  $6.00  while  our 
price  for  3  to  3^  feet  is  only  $6.50. 

3  to  3  £2  feet  $6.50;  3^  to»  4  feet  $7.50;;  4  to  5 
feet  $9.00;  5  to  6  feet  $12.00;  6  to  7  feet  $15.00; 
7  to  8  feet  $18.00. 

SILVER  RED  CEDAR.  A  form  of  cedar  with  an 
intense  blue-green  foliage,  the  most  intense  blue- 
green  of  any  evergreen.  It  is  rather  a  vigorous  grower 
irregular  in  habit  lending  a  very  picturesque  effect 
to  an  evergreen  planting.  This  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  of  all  evergreens.  2  to  2  Yi  feet  $7.00;  2  to 

3  feet  $9.00;  3  to  4  feet  $10.00. 

SPINEY  GREEK  JUNIPER.  A  small  tree  with 
a  very  symmetrical  conical  outline  foliage  of  a  metal¬ 
lic  pea  green  of  dense  habit.  Makes  a  good  "ex¬ 
clamation  point”  in  the  formal  garden.  12  to  15 
inches,  $3.00;  15  to  18  inches  $4.00;  18  to  24  inches, 
$5.00;  2  to  3  feet,  $7.00. 

TAMARIX  SABIN  JUNIPER.  This  is  a  distinct 
trailing  variety  of  the  Tamarix  Sabin  with  foliage 
of  a  delightful  shade  of  grey-green.  Although  it 
spreads  over  a  considerable  area  it  grows  only  about 
a  foot  in  height.  For  "foundation"  plantings  edgings 
of  Evergreen  plantings  for  terraces  etc.  it  is  in  a 
class  by  itself.  15  to  18  inch  spread  $4.50;  18  to  24 

inch  spread  $6.00;  24  to  30  inch  spread  $8.50;  3  to 

4  feet  spread,  $12.50. 

VIRGINIANA.  Red  Cedar.  This  is  the  native 
cedar  of  the  east,  similar  to  our  Native  Colorado 
variety,  but  somewhat  more  spreading  and  open  in 
habit.  The  foliage  is  a  delightful  shade  of  green  in 
the  summer,  and  in  winter  assumes  plum  and  purple 
shades,  making  an  effective  contrast  when  planted 
with  other  varieties.  3  to  4  feet,  $5.00;  4  to  5  feet, 

$7.00;  5  to  6  feet,  $9.00. 

WAUKEGAN  JUNIPER.  A  very  distinct  sort  of 
creeping  habit.  Grows  close  to  the  ground,  seldom 
exceeding  8  to  10  inches  in  height,  but  spreads  out  to 


quite  a  width,  under  favorable  conditions  to  as  much 
as  12  feet  It  immediately  attracts  attention  on 
account  of  its  unusual  color,  which  is  a  soft  blue  in 
the  spring,  green  in  summer,  and  turns  to  a  rich  pur¬ 
ple  in  the  fall  A  splendid  plant  for  "Foundation " 
plantings,  for  banks,  terraces,  etc  15  to  18  inches,

Sabin  Juniper  In  One  Of  Our  Denver  Gardens. 
One  Of  The  Very  Best  Evergreens  For 
‘‘Foundation”  Plantings. 


THUJA— ArborvitEe 

For  the  average  garden,  large  or  small,  there  are 
no  evergreens  that  are  more  delightful  than  the  Ar- 
borvitaes.  They  vary  so  much  in  size,  in  form,  in 
color,  and  in  texture  of  foliage  that  they  lend  them¬ 
selves  to  the  making  of  beautiful  garden  pictures  to 
better  advantage  than  any  other  class  of  plants.  They 
are  particularly  useful  in  accentuating  a  formal  note 
in  the  garden  scheme.  The  general  impression  is 
that  they  are  not  hardy  in  Colorado;  but  this  is  a 
mistake,  as  you  will  find  them  in  many  Denver  gar¬ 
dens  and  elsewhere  in  the  state.  Last  fall  I  saw  one 
in  the  Fairmont  Cemetery  in  Denver  twelve  to  fif¬ 
teen  feet  in  height,  and  it  was  in  the  best  possible 
condition.  I  have  grown  many  varieties  in  the  nur¬ 
sery  here  over  a  long  period  of  years,  most  of  them 
out  in  the  open  where  they  are  exposed  to  all  sorts 
of  weather.  They  should,  however,  be  planted  where 
they  will  be  somewhat  sheltered  from  west  winds  in 
winter,  but  the  most  essential  thing  is  that  they  shall 
have  plenty  of  moisture.  If  you  see  one  starting  to 
go  brown  it  is  a  sure  sign  that  it  is  not  getting  suf¬ 
ficient  water.  Carry  out  the  directions  above  and 
you  can  grow  successfully  the  varieties  we  offer. 

OCCI DENTALIS.  American  Arborvitae.  A 

large  growing  form  with  bright  green  foliage,  the 
color  usually  being  held  w'ell  during  the  winter.  Makes 
a  splendid  background  for  flowers,  and  is  one  of  the 
best  shrubs  for  north  exposures,  and  places  that  are 
too  shade  for  most  shrubs. 

,  We  have  a  fine  specimen  of  this  in  our  garden  ten 
to  twelve  feet  in  height,  that  has  been  there  as  many 
years  as  it  is  high.  Good  bushy  plants  that  have 
been  sheared.  2  to  2  }/%  feet,  $3.75;  2  to  3  feet, 
$4.50;  3  to  4  feet,  $6.00;  4  to  5  feet,  $8.00. 

AMERICAN  GLOBE  ARBORVITAE.  A  round 
compact  globe  form,  a  splendid  variety  for  formal 
notes  in  the  garden.  15  inches,  $3.50;  18  inches, 

4AMERICAN  PYRAMIDAL.  Pyramidal  ever¬ 
greens  are  very  desirable  for  marking  formal  notes 
in  gardens,  and  for  use  in  foundation  plantings,  for 
entrances,  etc.  This  is  a  splendid  plant  for  this  pur¬ 
pose.  It  has  dense,  compact  growth,  narrow  and 
pyramidal  form,  deep  rich  green  color  at  all  seasons, 
and  each  tree  is.  uniform  in  habit,  so  that  pairs  can 
readily  be  maintained.  It  is  one  of  the  most  hardy 
forms.  1  to  iH  feet,  $3.50;  1  to  2  feet,  $4.00; 

2  to  3  feet,  $5.00;  3  to  4  feet,  $8.00. 

GEORGE  PEABODY.  A  fine  variety  with  foliage 
tipped  a  clean  yellow.  About  1  foot,  $1.50;  1  to  2 

feet,  $3.00.

THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  6 1  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


ORIENTALIS.  Oriental  Arborvitae.  Dense 
pyramidal  tree,  with  fresh  green  foliage  turning  a 
warm  orange-brown  in  winter.  18  to  24  inches,  $3.00. 


A  LITTLE  GEM— BERKM AN’S  GOLDEN 

BERKMANS  GOLDEN.  This  is  perhaps  the  most 
attractive  of  the  dwarfer  forms  of  arborvitae.  It  is 
a  low  compact  shrub  form,  broad,  but  columnar  in 
general  aspect.  In  early  spring  it  is  a  bright  golden 
yellow  in  color,  gradually  changing  to  a  lovely  shade 
of  bright  green,  and  in  the  winter  assumes  a  very 
pleasing  shade  of  golden  bronze.  We  have  used  this 
for  a  number  of  years,  and  though  sometimes  the 
foliage  winter-killed,  it  came  out  again  in  good  shape 
in  the  summer.  We  have  found,  however,  that  by 
sheltering  it  from  the  west  and  north,  and  seeing 
that  it  was  kept  moist,  it  would  come  through  the 
winter  in  good  shape.  This  is  a  gem  for  the  small 
garden.  1  2  to  15  inches,  $2.50;  1  5  to  18  inches,  $4.00; 

18  to  24  inches,  $5.50. 

WOODWARD.  This  is  the  best  shaped  variety, 
as  it  retains  its  natural  globe  shape  without  any  trim¬ 
ming  even  when  it  reaches  its  full  diameter  of  three 
feet.  Very  slow  in  growth,  and  most  useful  for  mark¬ 
ing  formal  effects  in  gardens.  Suited  to  the  smallest 
garden.  12  to  15  inches,  $4.00:  1  5  to  18  inches,  $6.00. 


PICEA — Spruce 

These  are  the  Spruces  found  in  our  Colorado  Moun¬ 
tains  varying  in  color  from  deep  green,  to  bright  blue- 
green.  They  are  splendid  subjects  for  use  in  parks,  and 
large  grounds,  and  even  in  the  city  yard  they  have  a 
place,  as  they  make  a  splendid  background  for  a  gar¬ 
den,  and  nothing  is  better  for  use  as  screens  and  hedges, 
as  they  make  a  fine  show  of  color  in  winter  when  all  our 
trees  and  shrubs  are  bare.  Our  stock  is  nursery  grown, 
frequently  transplanted;  and  will  not  fail  to  grow. 

PUNGENS.  Our  Colorado  Green  Spruce,  and  the 
best  color  to  use  when  a  group  is  wanted,  or  as  a 
contrast  for  the  Blue  variety.  24  to  30  inches,  $3.00; 
30  to  36  inches,  $4.00;  3  to  4  feet,  $5.00;  4  to  5  feet, 
$6.00. 

COLORADO  BLUE  SPRUCE.  This  is  the  bright 
blue  variety  we  see  scattered  through  our  mountains. 
It  makes  a  splendid  specimen  for  a  large  lawn;  or 
when  planted  with  a  group  of  green  spruces  the  bril¬ 
liancy  of  the  blue  is  intensified.  24  to  30  inches, 
$4.00;  30  to  36  inches,  $5.00;  3  to  4  feet,  $6.00; 
4  to  5  feet,  $8.00. 

SPRUCE  FOR  BACKGROUNDS,  Etc. 

We  have  some  Spruces  that  are  not  symmetrical 
enough  for  specimen  trees,  but  are  well  adapted  to 
planting  for  backgrounds,  and  screens,  and  these  are 
offered  at  one-third  off  the  price  quoted  for  regular 
stock. 


PINUS— Pine 

PONDEROSA  SCOPULORUM.  Rocky  Moun¬ 
tain  Yellow  Pine.  This  is  the  best  Pine  for  most  pur¬ 
poses,  particularly  for  a  background.  Has  long  needles 
of  a  brilliant  deep  green.  It  might  well  be  planted 
in  many  of  our  city  gardens,  where  its  bright  green, 
glossy  foliage  will  give  life  to  the  picture  during  the 
dull  winter  months.  3  to  4  feet,  $5.00;  4  to  5  feet, 

$6.50;  5  to  6  feet,  $8.50;  6  to  8  feet,  $10.00. 

MONTANA.  Swiss  Mountain  Pine.  A  beautiful 
dwarf  tree,  sometimes  not  more  than  a  shrub,  and 
suitable  for  small  gardens,  and  the  larger  corners  in 
“foundation”  plantings,  backgrounds  for  perennials, 
etc.  Very  handsome  bright  green  foliage  winter  and 
summer.  15  to  18  inches,  $3.00;  18  to  24  inches, 

$4  50;  24  to  30  inches,  $6.00;  30  to  36  inches,  $8.00. 

Larger  sizes  priced  by  letter. 

MONTANA  MUGHUS.  Mugho  Pine.  This  is 
the  delightful  little  dwarf,  cushion-like  pine  that  is 
such  a  general  favorite  for  Formal  Gardens  and 
“foundation”  plantings.  The  foliage  is  small,  and  of 
a  brilliant  green,  and  when  the  new  foliage  opens  in 
the  spring,  the  plant  looks  as  if  it  were  studded  with 
tiny  candles.  Small  enough  for  the  smallest  garden 
and  a  gem  wherever  used.  12  to  15  inches,  $4.00; 
1  5  to  18  inches,  $6.00;  18  to  24  inches,  $8.00;  24  to 

30  inches,  $10.00.  Larger  sizes  priced  by  letter. 

TWO  HUNDRED  AND  FIFTY 
EVERGREENS  FOR  ONE  GARDEN 

Last  fall,  and  during  the  past  winter  we  planted 
in  the  Garden  of  Mr.  Lafayette  M.  Hughes,  Denver, 
over  two  hundred  and  fifty  Evergreens.  Mr.  Hughes 
has  some  forty  acres  in  his  ornamental  grounds.  Mr. 
Hughes  realizes  the  importance  of  Evergreens;  and 
is  planting  them  in  large  quantities.  This  is  the  second 
Garden  we  have  planned  and  planted  for  Mr.  Hughes; 
and  in  the  first  one,  a  very  much  smaller  proposition, 
we  also  used  Evergreens  freely.  The  garden,  large  or 
small,  should  have  Evergreens. 

THE  QUESTION  OF  PRICES 

Our  prices  will  compare  favorably  with  the  prices  of 
any  first  class  nursery  in  the  country.  So  far  as  our 
knowledge  goes,  there  is  no  other  such  complete  line  of 
evergreens  grown  anywhere  in  Colorado.  For  the  many 
varieties  of  Juniper,  Arborvitae,  etc.,  we  offer,  you 
would  have  to  send  “east",  and  delivery  charges  would 
frequently  double  the  price  of  the  plants,  and  while  we 
do  not  pay  delivery  charges  on  evergreens,  the  short 
distance  they  would  have  to  go  would  add  very  little  to 
the  price.  Do  not  compare  with  evergreens  gathered 
from  the  mountains.  Only  the  common  pine,  spruce  and 
cedar  can  be  found  there;  and  what  can  be  had  are  rarely 
good  specimens,  are  difficult  to  handle,  take  many 
years  to  recover  from  being  disturbed,  and  but  a  small 
percentage  of  them  grow.  I  have  seen  Spruces  brought 
from  the  mountains  that  made  no  growth  whatever  for 
several  years,  while  nursery  grown  stock  will  go  right 
along  as  if  they  had  never  been  disturbed.  Plant  “Suth¬ 
erland”  sure-to-grow  stock. 


Sutherland  Trees  for  Colorado  and  the  Mid-West 


Have  you  ever  seen  Denver  from  an  aeroplane?  I 
haven’t;  but  I’m  told  that  it  looks  like  a  forest.  We 
have  plenty  of  trees  in  most  towns  in  Colorado;  for 
years,  whenever  anyone  has  built  a  house  they  have 
immediately  planted  trees,  but  they  have  been  mostly 
Soft  Maples  and  Elms,'  with  Poplars  for  screens. 
Just  think  how  beautiful  our  cities  would  be  if  everyone 
had  planted  at  least  one  hard  wood  tree.  A  Sugar 
Maple,  a  Norway  Maple,  or  an  Oak;  what  glorious 
fall  colors  we  would  have.  These  trees  all  do  well 
in  Colorado;  true,  they  are  a  little  slow  for  most  of  us; 
but,  if  we  must  have  some  quick  growing  trees  for 
immediate  effect  let  us  plant  at  least  one  for  the 
future — we  may  live  a  few  years  yet.  I  have  two  Oaks 
in  my  garden,  a  Pin  Oak  and  a  Scarlet  Oak.  Just  now, 
when  they  are  bare,  I  wouldn’t  take  a  hundred  dol¬ 
lars  each  for  them;  and  they  are  only  about  five 
inches  in  diameter;  and  next  fall,  when  they  are  in 
the  glories  of  their  gorgeous  autumn  colors  two  hun¬ 
dred  dollars  would  not  buy  one  of  them.  Even  if 
you  have  but  one  city  lot  plant  one  good  tree.  It’s 
an  investment  of  pure  joy  for  the  future. 

Where  an  order  is  received  for  a  single  tree  (without 
other  trees  or  shrubs)  so  that  it  has  to  be  packed 
separately,  a  charge  of  $1.00  will  be  made  for  packing. 
One  tree  has  to  be  protected  more  carefully,  in  order 
to  keep  it  from  being  broken;  and  the  cost  of  packing 
eats  up  all  the  profit  on  a  single  tree.  Apart  from  this 
no  charge  is  made  for  packing  trees,  but  delivery 


charges  are  paid  by  purchaser.  Please  state  if  you 
wish  them  to  be  shipped  by  express  or  freight.  Freight, 
except  for  small  lots,  is  advisable  for  most  places  in 
Colorado.  It  is  more  economical;  and  by  our  method 
of  packing  the  stock  will  carry  safely.

GINNALA.  (Amur  Maple).  For  the  small  gar¬ 
den,  and  for  planting  corners  about  the  house  where 
a  tall  effect  is  desired,  there  is  nothing  superior  to 
the  dainty  little  Maple.  It  never  grows  to  be  of  any 
great  size,  can  be  kept  down  to  the  desired  height, 
the  foliage  is  almost  as  finely  cut  as  a  Japanese  Maple, 
and  in  the  fall  turns  to  the  most  gorgeous  shades  of 
crimson  and  scarlet.  3  to  4  feet,  75c;  4  to  5  feet,  $1.25; 

5  to  6  feet,  $1.75;  6  feet.  $2.25. 
PENNSYLVANICUM.  (Striped  Maple).  A 

large  shrub  or  small  tree,  does  best  in  the  shade  of 
larger  trees.  It  is  rare  in  cultivation,  but  is  exceed¬ 
ingly  interesting  and  beautiful.  The  fall  color  is  a

times  its  most  brilliant  coloring  is  when  the  buds  scales 
lengthen  in  the  spring,  and  the  rosy,  down  covered 
leaves  appear.  The  stems  and  shoots  are  delicately 
beautiful,  and  the  green  bark  breaks  in  such  a  way 
as  to  make  it  appear  to  be  striped  with  white.  A  lit¬ 
tle  gem  for  a  shady  nook  in  the  garden. 

Good  strong  trees,  about  6  feet  high.  $3.50. 

PLATANOIDES.  (Norway  Maple).  A  large 
handsome  tree,  with  very  large  bright  green  leaves

RUBRUM.  (Red  Maple  .  This  delightful  little 
tree  is  scarcely  more  than  a  shrub  with  us,  though 
it  is  a  large  tree  in  the  east.  It  is  a  splendid  tree  for 
the  garden,  attractive  at  all  times  as  the  foliage  is 
bright  and  clean.  In  the  spring  the  ruddy  fruits  set 
the  tree  aglow,  and  again  in  the  autumn  it  is  clothed 
in  scarlet,  as  the  foliage  turns  most  brilliantly.  A 
rare  and  beautiful  tree.  6  to  8  feet,  $4.00. 

PYRAMIDAL  SILVER  MAPLE.  The  foliage  of 
this  variety  is  similar  to  the  well  known  soft  maple 
that  it  is  well  adapted  for  use  where  a  tree  of  a  spread¬ 
ing  character  would  be  too  broad.  A  very  handsome 
tree,  and  one  that  has  many  distinctive  uses.  5  to 
6  feet.  $1.50;  b  to  8  feet.  $2.50;  8  to  10  feet,  $3.50. 

SACCHARUM.  (Sugar  Maplei.  A  very  hand¬ 
some  tree  with  bright  foliage  turning  to  gorgeous 
shades  of  scarlet,  orange  and  yellow  in  autumn.  Noth¬ 
ing  better  where  a  permanent  tree  is  wanted.  8  to 
10  feet,  $2.25. 

BLOODLEAF  NORWAY  MAPLE.  When  first 
opening  the  leaves  of  this  tree  are  a  bright  blood- 
red,  gradually  turning  to  a  plum-green.  Makes  a 
wonderful  effect  in  the  spring  and  early  summer, 
and  is  an  attractive  tree  at  all  times.  6  to  8  feet,  $3.25  ; 
8  to  10  feet.  $4.2.5. 

WEIR  MAPLE.  A  Weeping  Maple  much  on  the 
order  of  the  famous  Cut  Leaf  Weeping  Birch.  The 
foliage  is  finely  divided,  and  falls  in  long  festoons,  on 
the  order  of  the  Birch,  has  striking  bright  golden- 
yellow  fall  foliage.  A  very  handsome  tree.  6  to  8 
feet,  $2.00;  8  to  10  feet,  $2.50. 


AILANTHUS — Ailanthus 

GLANDULOSA.  An  attractive  tree  for  the  gar¬ 
den  and  for  planting  close  to  the  house;  makes  a 
deep  tap  root  that  will  not  interfere  with  foundations. 
The  foliage  is  much  like  the  sumac,  but  on  a  larger 
scale,  has  flowers  in  large  panicles  followed  by  fruit 
clusters  that  are  often  highly  colored  Very  orna¬

BETULA— Birch 

ALBA.  (European  White  Birch  .  One  of  the 

most  beautiful  of  our  smaller  trees,  small  bright 
green  foliage,  turning  golden-yellow  in  autumn,  and 
its  white  bark  makes  it  a  striking  object  in  winter. 
Stock  is  scarce,  b  to  8  feet.  $2.50;  8  to  10  feet.  $3.50. 


THE  MOST  BEAUTIFUL  TREE 

To  many  people  the  most  beautiful  tree  is  the  Cut 
Leaf  Weeping  Birch,  and  it  is  a  most  lovely  tree.  It  is 
strikingly  beautiful  at  all  seasons  of  the  year.  Of  course 
you  know  it. 

CUT  LEAF  WEEPING  BIRCH.  A  tall  slender 
tree  of  the  utmost  grace  The  bark  is  pure  white, 
the  foliage  small  and  finely  divided,  and  hangs  from 
the  tree  in  long  graceful  festoons,  in  fall  it  assumes 
a  beautiful  golden-yellow  color.  The  Most  Beau¬ 
tiful  tree  grown.  The  stock  in  this  country  is  scarce, 
and  is  likely  to  be  scarce  for  some  years  to  come.  It 
should  be  planted  early  in  the  season,  and  kept  moist, 
and  provided  with  a  mulch  of  loose  earth.  Goo 
strong  trees,  4  to  5  feet.  $5.00;  Select  stock.  8  to  1 
feet,  $10.00. 

Do  you  want  a  Cut  Leaf  Birch  that  will  go  right 
along  without  any  check,  and  with  the  chance  of  loss 
reduced  to  a  minimum.  We  have  a  few  select  trees  8 
to  10  feet  in  height,  for  particular  people.

earth  can  not  come  loose  from  the  roots — handled  in

the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  they  will  be  what  you 
had  hoped  for  will  be  worth  more  than  the  difference 
in  cost.  Each,  packed  ready  for  delivery,  $15.00. 

TWO  RARE  AND  BEAUTIFUL  BIRCHES 

PURPLE  LEAF  WHITE  BIRCH.  This  is  a  vari¬ 
ety  of  the  European  White  Birch  with  deep  purple 
foliage.  The  purple  of  the  leaves  makes  a  striking 
contrast  with  the  white  of  the  bark.  A  rare  tree, 
and  suited  to  the  small  garden.  3  to  4  feet,  $3.00. 

YOUNGS  WEEPING  BIRCH.  A  most  unusual 
form  of  the  Birch,  similar  in  habit  to  the  Weeping 
Birch,  but  the  branches  are  more  spreading,  form¬ 
ing  an  irregular,  picturesque  head.  Very  striking, 
Japanesque  in  effect.  3  to  4  feet,  $3.50. 

CELTIS— Hackberry 

OCCIDENTALIS.  Hackberry.  A  tree  resembling 
the  Elm  but  with  a  rougher  bark,  and  has  brownish- 
black  berries  in  the  fall.  Makes  a  good  street  tree, 
and  affords  a  little  variety  from  the  common  elms 
and  maples.  A  fine  tree.  8  to  10  feet,  $2.75. 

CAT  ALPA— Capalpa 

SPECIOSA.  Western  Catalpa.  A  handsome  large 
tree  with  big,  tropical  looking  foliage,  and  large  pan¬ 
icles  of  beautiful  flowers  in  June.  While  we  have  not 
found  the  Weeping  Catalpa,  so  frequently  sold  in 
Colorado,  hardy  here,  there  are  many  of  this  variety 
scattered  all  over  the  state  that  have  proved  hardy 
over  a  long  period  of  years.  Where  you  want  some¬ 
thing  “different”  and  showy,  plant  a  Catalpa.  6 
to  8  feet,  $1.00. 

UMBRELLA  CATALPA.  This  is  a  striking  tree 
that  is  frequently  sold  in  Colorado,  although  it  is 
not  raised  here.  If  you  buy  it  do  not  expect  it  to  live 
more  than  a  year  or  two.  It  is  top-grafted,  and  does 
not  stand  our  winters.

ELAEAGNUS — Elaeagnus 

ANGUSTIFOLI A.  Russian  Olive.  A  beautiful 
tree  with  silvery-grey  foliage  and  picturesque  habit, 
and  a  wonderful  sweet  peifume  while  in  bloom.  Does 
well  under  any  conditions,  will  thrive  in  the  driest 
soils.  The  most  picturesque  tree  for  gardens.  5  to  6 
feet,  $1.00;  6  to  8  feet,  $1.50;  8  to  10  feet,  $2.00. 


FRAXINUS — Ash 

AMERICANA.  White  Ash.  A  tall  tree  with  up¬ 
right  or  spreading  branches,  forming  a  pyramidal  or 
round-topped  crown.  Much  used  for  street  planting, 
good  autumn  effects  in  yellows.  One  of  our  most 
popular  trees.  8  to  10  feet,  $1.70. 

LANCEOLATA.  Green  Ash.  A  medium  sized 
tree  with  a  handsome  round  head,  slender  branches 
and  green  twigs,  and  dark  lustrous  foliage.  It  makes 
a  beautiful  shade  tree,  and  is  especially  adapted  to 
regions  where  the  rainfall  is  scant.  It  flourishes  where 
many  other  trees  would  not  live.  6  to  8  feet,  $1.25; 
8  to  10  feet,  $2.25. 


GLEDITSIA — Honeylocust 

TRICANTHOS  INERMIS.  Thornless  Honey  Lo¬ 
cust.  This  is  one  of  our  most  beautiful  trees,  graceful 
in  habit,  and  a  good  tree  for  lawns,  gardens,  and  gen¬ 
eral  shade  purposes.  Very  hardy,  and  a  splendid  tree 
for  anywhere,  particularly  adapted  to  use  on  dry 
lands,  as  it  succeeds  with  a  minimum  of  water.  It 
has  never  been  attacked  by  borers  that  have  played 
such  havoc  with  the  Black  Locust.  See  picture 
of  Bolleana  Poplar  and  Thornless  Honeylocust  on 
this  page.  6  to  8  feet,  $1.25,  8  to  10  feet,  $2.50; 

10  to  12  feet,  $3.25.  We  have  some  larger  sizes,  prices 
upon  application. 


JUGLANS— Walnut 

The  black  Walnut  makes  a  handsome  tree,  and 
seems  to  be  at  home  in  Colorado,  but  should  be  planted 
in  small  sizes,  as  it  makes  a  tap  root  that  is  difficult 
to  dig  without  damage  when  it  becomes  any  size. 
In  Boulder,  and  most  places  where  we  have  seen  it 
the  Black  Walnut  bears  good  crops  of  fruits.  6  tc 
8  feet,  $1.50. 


PLANATUS — Planetree 

OCCIDENTALIS.  American  Planetree  A  large 
tree  of  handsome  outline,  and  large  leaves  resembling 
those  of  a  maple.  Although  it  is  an  unusually  good 
tree  for  Colorado  it  is  seldom  seen.  There  is  a  good 
specimen  in  front  of  the  home  of  Mrs.  Annie  D.  Mor¬ 
ris,  at  410  Marion  Street,  Denver.  It  is  one  of  the 
most  picturesque  trees  in  Denver;  is  right  up  against 
the  front  of  the  house,  south  of  the  front  porch.  Some 
American  Planetrees  I  saw  in  Pueblo  last  spring  are 
amongst  the  finest  shade  trees  in  the  state.  8  to  10 
feet,  $3.00. 


POPULUS—  Poplar 

ALBA.  White  Poplar.  Sometimes  called  White 
or  Silver  Maple.  A  handsome  large  tree  with  foliage 
resembling  that  of  a  maple  but  w-hite  underneath, 
like  a  Bolleana  Poplar.  Should  not  be  planted  where 
the  roots  will  be  cut  into,  as  under  those  conditions 
it  suckers  badly.  A  splendid  tree  where  a  tall  back¬ 
ground  is  desirable.  6  to  8  feet,  $1.25;  8  to  10  feet, 
$1.75;  10  to  12  feet,  $2.25.

THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


A  Splendid  Cheap  Tree 

NORWAY  POPLAR.  I  do  not  know  what  this  is 
botanically:  I  bought  seedlings  as  “Norway  Poplar.” 
It  is  the  fastest  growing  tree  I  know  of,  somewhat  on 
the  order  of  the  Carolina  Poplar,  but  a  little  more 
slender  in  form.  A  fine  tree  where  a  fast  grower  is 
wanted,  nothing  to  beat  it  for  windbreaks,  etc.  10  to 
ii  feet,  $1.50;  2  to  3  inches,  $2.00;  3  to  4  inches,

BRING  THE  MOUNTAINS  TO  YOUR  GARDEN 

You  can  bring  a  breath  of  the  mountains  to  your 
garden  with  the  Quaking  Aspen.  It  has  been  thought 
about  impossible  to  transplant  the  Aspen  from  the  moun¬ 
tains  and  make  it  grow;  and  it  is  claimed  that  it  will 
not  grow  away  from  the  mountains.  A  few  years  ago 
we  secured  from  the  east  a  lot  of  young  plants  of  the 
variety  Bailey  lists  as  the  one  growing  in  our  moun¬ 
tains.  Botanically  it  is  a  Poplar;  Populus  tremu- 
loia.es.

This  Is  What  You  Have 


OUR  NEW  MOLINE  ELM 
The  Tree  You  Have  Been  Looking  For 


All  gardeners  have  been  looking  for  a  hardy  tree 
with  the  columnar  habit  of  the  Lombardy  Poplar,  but 
somewhat  larger  and  broader.  We  have  this  in  our 
New  Moline  Elm  offered  for  the  first  time. 


THE  NEW  MOLINE  ELM 

MOLINE  ELM.  This  is  a  sport  from  the  American 
Elm,  has  the  same  foliage  and  long  lived  habit  of  the 
Elm,  but  with  the  narrow,  columnar  form  of  the 
Lombardy  Poplar.  This  is  just  the  tree  we  have  been 
looking  for  where  a  narrow-headed  tree  is  needed. 
We  cannot  recommend  our  New  Moline  Elm  too  highly. 
8  to  10  feet,  $3.50;  1  M  in.  diameter,  $4  50. 


ANOTHER  NEW  ELM 

See  illustration  of  new  VASE  MOLINE  ELM  on

Truthful  As  We  Know  How  To  Make 
Them  And  The  Plants  Are  True 
To  Name 


Our  New  Vase  Shape  Moline  Elm 


Sutherland 
Flowering  Trees 


A  group  of  trees  that  provide  a  magnificent  show  of 
flowers  in  the  spring,  have  attractive  foliage  all  summer, 
good  fall  color,  and  in  addition  most  of  them  have  at¬ 
tractive  fruits  for  fall  and  winter  color.  No  garden  is 
complete  without  a  few  of  them. 

If  you  are  a  garden  lover,  and  are  not  familiar  with 
the  many  varieties  of  Flowering  Trees  adapted  to  our 
Colorado  conditions,  you  are  missing  a  great  treat.  If 
I  attempted  to  go  into  the  beauties  of  this  class  of 
trees  there  would  be  no  room  left  for  anything  else  in 
my  catalogue.  As  a  lawn  specimen,  for  a  larger  note 
in  the  garden  than  can  be  given  by  a  shrub,  use  one 
of  our  flowering  trees.  With  the  exception  of  the  Sor- 
bus  all  are  dwarf  enough  for  the  smallest  garden  or 
back  yard;  and  even  a  twenty-foot  plot  has  room 
enough  for  it  if  it  is  used  as  a  background.  If  you 
wish  something  beautiful  and  different  plant  a  few 
of  our  flowering  trees. 


AMYGDALUS— Peach,  Almond 

PERSICA.  Double  flowering  Peach.  While  this 
is  not  usually  considered  to  be  hardy  in  Colorado, 
I  have  found  it  growing  and  blooming  here  and  there 
throughout  the  state.  There  is  qui'.e  a  large  specimen 
in  Colorado  Springs  in  a  southeast  corner,  where  it 
is  sheltered  from  most  of  the  strong  winds,  and  it 
has  been  doing  well  over  a  long  period  of  years.  $2.00. 
We  have  a  few  Flowering  Peaches  6  to  8  feet  in  height, 
several  years  older  than  the  regular  size  .  at  $5.00. 


VASE  MOLINE  ELM.  Another  New  Elm  that 
also  fills  a  long-felt  want.  The  American  Elm  is  one 
of  the  best  shade  trees  for  Colorado  and  the  Middle 
West,  but  it  is  so  irregular  in  habit,  no  two  ever  having 
just  the  same  form,  that  it  has  not  been  altogether 
satisfactory  for  planting  in  parkings,  etc.  Our  New 
Vase  Elm  is  a  variety  of  the  Moline  Elm  but  vase 
like  in  form,  just  the  outline  needed  for  parkings; 
and  the  trees  grow  quite  uniformily.  This  is  the  best 
tree  to  date  for  parkings.  6  to  8  feet,  $2.50;  1  in. 
diameter,  $4.00  1  in.  diameter,  $5.00. 

Dozen  Rate  on  Trees. 

12  Trees  of  one  sort  for  ten  times  the  single  price. 

IS  THIS  THE  COMING  ELM? 

Many  people  claim  great  things  of  this  Dwarf  Asiatic 
Elm,  Ulmus  pumila,  a  recent  introduction  by  the  U.  S. 
Department  of  Agriculture.  It  is  said  to  be  a  tree  of 
moderate  size,  remarkably  fast  growing,  and  that  it  will 
fill  the  need  of  a  very  fast  growing  tree,  that  at  the  same 
time  will  be  hardy,  long  lived,  with  good  foliage  and 
attractive  form.  This  new  Elm  is  claimed  to  be  the  fastest 
growing  tree  apart  from  the  Cottonwoods.  We  have  only 
had  it  two  years,  and  do  not  feel  that  we  know  it  well 
enough  to  say  anything  definite.  Mr.  Phil.  B.  Stewart, 
of  Colorado  Springs,  a  man  who  has  done  much  for 
the  advancement  of  gardening  in  Colorado,  and  who 
has  grown  this  tree  for  some  years  speaks  highly  of  it. 
While  we  do  not  absolutely  know  this  tree's  record  for 
more  than  two  years,  we  think  it  is  going  to  make  good. 

PUMILA.  Dwarf  Asiatic  Elm.  Commonly  known 
as  Chinese  Elm.  A  tree  of  moderate  size,  somewhat 
inclined  to  be  semi-dwarf.  4  to  5  feet,  $1.50;  6  to  8 

feet,  $2.50. 


OUR  NEW  VASE  SHAPE  MOLINE  ELM 
The  Best  Broad  Headed  Elm,  Will  Displace  The 
Common  Elm  For  Parkings. 


CRATAEGUS— Hawthorn 

In  many  ways  the  Hawthorns  are  amongst  the 
finest  of  our  Flowering  Trees,  having  many  good 
features  they  are  attractive  at  all  seasons,  even  in  win¬ 
ter.  They  are  attractive  to  birds  as  well  as  to  people. 
As  I  write  this,  January  30,  there  is  a  Townsend  Soli- 
tare  on  a  Washington  Thorne  in  my  garden  eating  the 
berries  that  have  held  over  all  winter;  he  has  been 
there  almost  every  day  during  the  past  three  weeks. 
We  have  a  large  assortment  of  Hawthorns,  one  suitable 
for  any  purpose.  Hawthorns  should  be  closely  pruned 
in  planting;  cut  off  all  small  branches.

Denver’s  Most  Beautiful  Flowering  Tree, 
Hawthorn — State  Capitol  Grounds 


THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


COCCINIOIDES.  Scarlet  Thorn.  Small  tree

Winter  Color  in  the  Garden 

Most  of  us  plan  our  gardens  for  spring,  summer 
and  fall  effects.  Not  many  of  us  think  of  the  four  months, 
December  to  March,  when  most  gardens  are  altogether 
lacking  in  interest.  A  little  thought  along  this  line  will 
give  us  a  TWELVE  MONTH  garden,  one  in  which 
there  is  interest  every  day  in  the  year.  In  our  Evergreen 
Department  I  have  called  your  attention  to  the  winter 
possibilities  of  this  beautiful  class  of  plants;  and  now 
I  wish  to  impress  upon  you  the  value  of  shrubs  and  trees 
with  colored  fruits.  Many  discriminating  gardeners 
are  now  giving  just  as  much  thought  to  the  berries  and 
fruits  as  they  formerly  did  to  foliage  and  flowers.  If 
you  will  stop  to  consider  it,  shrubs  and  trees  that  have 
attractive  fruits  also  have  attractive  foliage  and  flowers, 
the  fruits  are  a  premium,  extra  value  thrown  in,  for 
which  you  pay  nothing,  except,  perhaps,  just  a  little 
more  use  of  your  "grey  matter  ' .  Another  thought!  Are 
you  interested  in  the  birds?  Plan  for  them,  also.  They 
will  eat  any  kind  of  fruit  you  will,  and  then  some.  Plant 
some  fruiting  trees  and  shrubs  in  your  garden.  Amongst 
the  trees  almost  all  the  Prunus  family  have  attractive 
fruits,  the  Hawthorns  are  unsurpassed,  the  Mountin 
Ash  are  also  good,  and  the  Malus  family  is  par- 
excellence.  Amongst  the  Shrubs  look  for  Berberis,  Cornus, 
Euonymus,  Ligustrum,  Lonicera,  Prunus,  Rosa,  Rhus, 
Ribes,  Symphoricarpus  and  Virbirnum. 


MALUS — Apple,  Flowering  Crab 

In  many  ways  the  Flowering  Crabs  are  quite  as 
attractive  as  the  Hawthorns,  in  flower  they  are  even 
more  showy,  having  masses  of  large  single  or  double 
flowers  in  various  shades  of  pink  and  red.  Many  of 
them  have  small  ornamental  fruits,  and  all  have  good 
foliage  which  assumes  showy  tones  of  red  and  yellow 
in  autumn.  They  are  all  small  trees,  and  no  flowering 
trees  make  more  beautiful  objects  for  the  garden  and 
lawn. 


Bechtels  Crab  In  All  Its  Spring  Glory. 
This  makes  a  Wonderful  Effect  When  Planted 
In  A  Large  Angle  Of  The  House.  Equally  Good 
As  A  Lawn  Ornament,  As  It  Is  Symmetrical 
In  Outline. 


ARNOLD  CRAB.  This  Is  considered  one  of  the 
finest  varieties  in  the  great  collection  at  the  Arnold 
Arboretum.  It  makes  a  small,  bushy  tree,  with  showy 
rose  colored  flowers  which  appear  with  the  leaves, 
it  also  has  attractive  yellow  fruits  in  the  fall.  A  beauty. 
3  to  4  feet,  $2.50. 

BECHTEL’S  CRAB.  The  best  known  of  the 
Double-flowering  crabs;  has  large  double,  rose-pink 
flowers;  and  makes  an  attractive  small  tree  at  all 
times.  Suitable  for  small  gardens,  as  it  never  grows 
to  be  of  any  considerable  size.  Much  used  in  formal 
gardening,  as  it  can  be  sheared,  or  clipped  to  keep  it 
to  any  size  or  form.  2  to  3  feet,  $1.75;  3  to  4  feet, 
$2. -jo;  4  to  5  feet,  $3  00;  5  to  6  feet,  $5.00. 

CARMINE  CRAB.  A  single  variety  with  dainty 
carmine-pink  flowers,  borne  in  great  profusion,  fol¬ 
lowed  by  tiny  fruits.  Dwarf  in  habit.  3  to  4  feet, 
$2.00;  4  to  5  feet,  $2.75. 

DOUBLE  CHINESE  PINK  CRAB.  Makes  a 
handsome  small  tree,  with  large  semi-double  flowers 
of  a  bright  rose-red.  3  to  4  feet,  $2.00. 

FLORIBUNDA.  Japanese  Flowering  Crab.  Makes 
a  shrub,  or  small  tree  with  a  symmetrical  crown, 
foliage  turns  yellow  in  autumn,  flowers  rose-red,  fra¬ 
grant,  and  borne  in  great  profusion,  fruit  red,  and 
about  the  size  of  a  pea.  A  grand  specimen  shrub,  and 
one  of  the  best  of  the  spring  flowering  trees.  4  to  5 
feet,  $2.00. 

HOPA.  A  new  variety,  only  introduced  in  1926, 
said  to  be  a  hybrid  between  Niedzwetzkyana.  It  makes 
a  strong  growth,  the  bark  and  foliage  have  a  dark 
reddish  tone,  making  it  quite  striking  throughout 
the  entire  year.  The  flowers  are  rose  colored,  and  are 
followed  by  brilliant  red  fruits,  about  the  size  of  the 
Siberian  Crab,  and  while  the  skin  is  somewhat  bitter, 
protecting  it  from  birds,  the  fruit  does  make  most 
excellent  jelly.  It  blooms  while  quite  young.  4  to  5 
feet,  $2.06;  5  to  6  feet,  $3.00. 


THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  S i 


You  May  Not  Remember  the  Name 
But  Will  Never  Forget  the  Tree 

NIEDZWETZKYANA.  Redvein  Crab.  A  remark¬ 
able  crab  on  account  of  the  flowers,  leaves,  branches 
and  fruit  all  being  red  in  color,  a  small  very  showy 
tree.  Scarce.  3  to  4  feet,  $3.00;  2  to  3  feet,  $1.75. 

PURPLE  CRAB.  One  of  the  most  attractive  sorts; 
the  narrow  foliage  when  first  open  is  a  deep  plum 
color,  and  the  handsome  single  flowers,  of  a  deep 
carmine  are  borne  in  great  profusion.  3  to  4  feet, 
$2.00;  4  to  5  feet,  $3.00. 

SARGENTI.  Sargent  Crab.  This  is  one  of  the 
most  valuable,  as  it  is  the  only  known  variety  that 
never  becomes  more  than  a  shrub,  consequently  it 
is  unusually  well  adapted  to  use  in  the  smallest  gar¬

PRUNUS — Flowering  Plums  and  Cherries 

Don't  think  of  PRU-OONS ,  though  even  the  lowly 
prune  is  now  appearing  in  polite  society.  The  Prunus 
family  contains  many  of  our  most  beautiful  flowering 
trees  and  shrubs.  All  of  them  have  beautiful  flowers, 
most  have  splendid  fall  foliage,  and  many  have  orna¬ 
mental  fruits,  quite  a  few  have  edible  fruits  of  good 
quality.  The  birds  will  enjoy  all  of  them,  even  the  ones 
you  do  not  care  for. 


PRUNUS— Plum,  Cherry 

PADUS.  European  Bird  Cherry.  A  small  tree 
with  foliage  similar  to  the  wild  cherry,  turning  to 
gorgeous  shades  of  orange  in  the  fall,  and  in  spring 
has  masses  of  creamy-white  fragrant  flowers,  followed 
by  berries  similar  to  the  Chokecherry.  A  very  at¬ 
tractive  little  tree.  8  to  10  feet,  $2.50. 

PURPLELEAF  PLUM.  A  handsome  small  tree 
with  purple  foliage,  retaining  its  color  throughout 
the  summer.  In  spring  the  blush-pink  flowers  are 
borne  in  great  profusion.  Rare  and  beautiful.  Plant 
where  it  will  be  sheltered  from  the  west.  Good  strong 
stock,  Each  $1.50;  Dozen,  $15.00. 


NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


NEWPORT.  Another  variety  with  purple  foliage* 
and  as  it  originated  in  Minnesota,  at  the  Minnesota 
bruit  Breeding  Farm,  it  is  of  undoubted  hardiness. 
It  has  medium  sized'  fruits,  which,  though  of  not  a 
very  good  quality,  are  very  attractive  on  the  tree. 
An  unusually  fine  purple  leaf  tree.  3  to  4  feet,  $1.65; 
4  to  5  feet,  $2.00. 

OTHELLO.  This  is  similar  in  color  to  the  famous 
red  leaf  plum,  Prunus  Pissardi  but  is  hardier.  We 
have  found  it  very  hardy  here  over  a  period  of  years, 
and  can  recommend  it  for  gardens,  particularly  where 
given  anything  like  a  sheltered  spot.  3  to  4  feet, 
$1.50;  4  to  6  feet,  $2.00. 

TRILOBA.  Flowering  Plum.  A  most  attractive 
small  tree,  suitable  for  the  garden,  or  as  a  lawn  speci¬ 
men.  It  makes  a  shapely  tree  and  has  quantities  of 
double,  deep  rose-pink  flowers  in  early  spring.  These 
are  usually  grafted  on  Peach  roots;  but  ours  are  on 
plum,  the  only  kind  we  have  found  hardy  in  Colorado. 
Fine  little  trees  5  to  6  feet  in  height,  $2.50. 

TOMENTOSA.  Nanking  Cherry.  Makes  a  broad 
vigorous  shrub  of  good  habit.  The  flowers  are  un- 
unually  beautiful,  being  white  with  red  stalks  and 
calyx.  The  bright  pink  buds  make  a  delightful  con¬ 
trast  against  the  opened  flowers.  The  fruit  is  small, 
bright  scarlet,  sweet  and  of  good  flavor.  Plant  where 
it  will  be  protected  from  west  winter  winds,  and 
keep  moist.  A  very  rare  shrub.  $2.00. 

WHY  NOT  A  GOOD  PLUM  TREE 

Why  not  a  good  Plum  Tree  in  your  garden ?  It  is 
just  as  ornamental  as  any  other  tree.  In  spring  it  is 
literally  smothered  under  a  cloud  of  sweetly  fragrant 
white  flowers,  the  habit  of  the  tree  is  good,  it  is  hardy, 
the  foliage  is  attractive,  and  the  autumn  colors  beau¬ 
tiful,  it  is  not  too  large  for  the  smallest  garden, — and 
in  addition,  you  have  the  fruit.  Can  you  find  a  com¬ 
bination  of  so  many  good  qualities  in  any  other  one 
tree. 

WANETA.  This  is  the  best  of  the  hardy  American 
hybrid  plums,  originated  by  Prof.  Hansen  of  the 
South  Dakota  Experimental  Station.  Prof.  Hansen 
says  it  is  his  BEST.  The  tree  is  absolutely  hardy, 
prolific,  and  handsome.  The  fruit  is  deep  red  and 
the  flavor  delicious  and  about  two  inches  in  diameter. 
Here  you  have  the  combination  of  a  lovely  flowering 
tree,  and  splendid  fruit,  either  for  eating  or  canning. 
Bears  when  very  young.  A  tree  that  should  be  in 
every  garden.  4  feet,  $1.25;  4^  to  6  feet,  $1.50. 

SORBUS — Mountain-Ash 

AUCUPARIA.  European  Mountain-Ash.  A  small 
and  most  attractive  tree,  suitable  for  a  lawn  specimen; 
the  leaves  are  compound,  like  an  elm,  but  much 
smaller,  and  turn  beautifully  in  the  fall.  In  spring 
it  has  large  heads  of  white  flowers,  followed  by  bril¬ 
liant  red  fruits.  5  to  6  feet,  $1.50;  6  to  8  feet,  $2.00. 


FRUIT  FOR  THE 

HOME  GARDEN  FRUITS 

While  we  do  not  grow  fruL  to  any  great  extent 
we  find  that  many  of  our  customers  want  a  few  fruit 
trees  for  the  Home  Garden;  so  we  are  carrying  just 
a  sma.l  line  of  the  choicest  varieties;  and  only  such 
varieties  as  we  know  from  experience  can  be  depended 
upon  to  succeed  in  this  region.  All  the  trees  offered 
are  large  stock  that  will  be  satisfactory  in  every  way, 
the  largest  size  that  can  be  depended  upon  for  results. 

APPLES 

To  allow  for  full  development  Apples  should  be  set 
twenty-five  feet  apart.  They  are  too  large  for  the 
average  back  yard,  unless  planted  close  to  some  build¬ 
ing,  so  that  they  only  grow  out  to  one  side.  Used  this 
way  they  are  very  attractive;  and  nothing  is  more 
beautiful  than  one  of  our  Siberian  Crab  Apples  in  full 
bloom.  Apples  may  be  trained  against  a  fence  or  wall; 
and  are  very  effective  trained  in  this  manner.  Only 
two  branches  should  be  left  on  each  side,  and  these 
should  be  tied  into  place,  and  not  allowed  to  vary 
from  the  direction  in  which  you.  wish  them  to  go. 
Of  course,  all  shoots  from  the  back  and  front  of  the 
tree  should  be  kept  cut  off  as  soon  as  they  appear. 
You  can  have  a  lot  of  fun  trainng  an  Apple  Tree, 
this  way.  The  effect  is  delightful;  and  the  fruit  is 
unusually  good.  Try  one,  if  only  for  the  fun  of  it. 
Do  not  o'  erlook  our  Flowering  Crab  Trees  on  page  47. 
Fruit  trees  are  all  grafted,  and  should  be  planted 
with  the  graft  two  to  three  inches  below  the  surface 
of  the  ground. 


HOME  GARDEN 

DELICIOUS.  Considered  the  choicest  apple  grown. 

RED  JUNE.  The  best,  real  early  apple,  bright 
red,  of  delicious  flavor. 

WEALTHY.  A  large  fall  apple  of  fine  flavor,  good 
for  eating  or  cooking.

well  known,  best  for  jelly. 

JONATHAN.  This  is  a  brilliant  red  winter  apple

winter  variety  for  this  section. 

Extra  strong  trees,  Each,  $1.00;  Dozen,  $10.00. 


CHERRIES 

The  Cherry  is  one  of  the  best  fruit  trees  for  the 
small  garden,  as  it  takes  up  but  little  room.  Even 
when  full  grown  it  may  be  kept  within  a  space  six  to 
eight  feet  square.  They  are  very  ornamental,  as  the 
outline  of  the  tree  is  symmetrical;  and  when  in  bloom 
they  are  as  attractive  as  any  flowering  tree — and  the 
fruit  you  have  extra.  Cherries  bear  when  very  small; 
I  have  picked  a  quart  from  a  tree  not  four  feet  high. 
They  seldom  miss  a  year.  They  can  be  grown  in 
shrub  form,  and  kept  down  to  a  height  of  about  six 
feet.  See  what  a  handsome  specimen  for  your  Garden 
the  one  in  our  picture  would  make.

PLUMS 

Plums  are  also  well  adapted  for  use  with  ornamental 
shrubs,  and  trees;  we  use  them  a  great  deal  in  our 
gardens.  They  are  small  trees,  not  becoming  too 
large  for  the  Home  Garden:  and  few  trees  have  as 
many  good  qualities.  They  are  picturesque  in  outline, 
the  foliage  is  aways  attractive,  and  turns  to  splendid 
shades  of  orange  and  yellow  in  the  fall  When  in 
bloom  nothing  could  be  more  attractive;  and  the 
blossoms  have  a  delightful  perfume.  They  bear  freely 
and  there  is  seldom  an  "off  year”.  Read  about  our 
new  Plum  Waneta,  on  page  48.  It  is  THE  best  plum 
for  the  Home  Garden.

for  the  Home  Garden. 

Extra  strong  Trees,  Each,  $1.50;  Dozen,  $12.00 

GRAPES 

Almost  any  section  in  Colorado  outside  the  moun¬ 
tains  can  raise  Grapes.  If  you  never  had  one  bunch 
of  fruit  from  them,  Grapes  are  well  worth  growing 
in  the  Home  Garden,  as  they  are  the  most  decorative 
of  all  vines.  No  other  vine  has  as  beautiful  foliage; 
and  for  use  on  pergolas,  trellises,  arches,  etc.,  they 
cannot  be  surpassed.  You  wall  find  the  Grapes  listed 
on  page  29.  Do  not  overlook  the  Beta  Grape;  it  will 
bear  where  no  other  Grape  is  hardy. 


CURRANTS 

LARGE  RED  CHERRY  CURRANT.  This  is  the 
best  of  the  large  Red  Cherry  Currants,  productive 
and  of  good  quality.  Each,  35c;  Dozen,  $3.50. 


NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLURADO

that  also  have  good  fruit,  see  Ribes",  page  35,  Shrub 
Department. 


RASPEERRIES 

LATHAM.  One  of  the  best  for  home  or  market, 
large  berries  of  a  rich  red.  Dozen,  $1.00;  Hundred, 
$7.00;  25  at  hundred  rate 

BOLERADO.  A  New  Everbearing  Raspberry 
that  has  proved  very  successful  in  this  district  It 
is  a  true  everbrearer.  having  good  quantities  of  fruit 
of  the  best  possible  flavor  from  the  last  of  June  until 
heavy  freezes.  We  usually  have  good  fruit  until 
about  the  second  week  in  November,  sometimes  even 
later.  We  have  never  covered  our  stock;  and  while 
this  might  be  necessary  in  some  districts  to  ensure 
the  June  fruit;  it  would  not  be  necessary  for  the  late 
summer  and  fall  crops. 

Good  strong  plants.  Each,  35c;  Dozen,  $2.50. 


RHUBARB 

Many  home  gardens  want  a  few  plants  of  Rhubarb. 
Pieplant;  Linneus,  the  vafiety  we  offer,  has  large 
stalks  of  a  bright  red  color  and  good  flavor.  Dozen, 
$1.00;  Three,  50c;  One,  35c. 


Are  You  Throwing  Away  Good  Money? 

Many  people  throw  away  good  money  by  buying 
plants  and  then  not  giving  them  the  proper  care. 
Do  you  know  how  to  prepare  the  ground,  how  to 
plant  and  care  for  the  stock  you  are  buying?  Even 
if  you  have  done  considerable  gardening  read  the 
pages  of  directions  at  the  back  of  this  Handbook; 
you  will  find  them  helpful. 


ARE  YOU  INTERESTED  IN  IRIS? 

If  you  are  interested  in  Iris,  send  for  our  special 
Iris  List.  It  will  be  ready  in  June.  You  will  find 
July  an  ideal  month  for  planting  Iris.  They  can  be 
planted  immediately  after  blooming. 


WILD  FLOWERS 
FOR  THE  SHADY  CORNER 

Every  garden  has  a  shady  corner  that  is  usually  a 
problem:  when  it  might  easily  be  the  most  valuable 
asset  of  the  garden.  The  most  beautiful  spot  in  my 
own  garden  is  a  shady  corner  of  Ferns.  Columbine. 
English  Primroses.  Forget-Me-Nots  and  Wild  Flowers 
Prepare  such  a  corner  by  spading  deeply,  putting  in 
some  broken  stone  about  two  feet  below  the  surface 
for  drainage:  then  work  in  all  the  dead  leaves  you  can 
find.  and.  if  possible,  mix  in  some  leaf  mound  towrards 
the  surface  Leaf  mould  is  simply  rotted  leaves,  which 
you  can  prepare  by  burying  the  leaves  from  your  gar¬ 
den.  and  keeping  them  wet  so  that  they  will  rot. 
We  have  gathered  together  a  number  of  Wild  Flowers, 
Ferns  and  other  Flow'ers  that  are  suitable  for  the 
shady  corner,  and  list  same  below  . 

This  is  the  way  to  prepare  such  a  bed;  but  if  you  do 
not  wish  to  go  to  so  much  trouble  simply  see  that  it 
has  good  light  soil,  and  spade  it  up  well  with  some 
very  old,  well-rotted  cow  manure.  My  own  ‘‘shady 
corner”  did  not  have  any  elaborate  preparation,  and 
it’s  hard  to  beat.

A  PRESENT  FOR  THE  GARDEN  OWNER 


TWENTY  EXTRA  PAGES 

This  year  we  are  making  you  a  present  of  TWENTY 
PAGES  in  our  NEW  GARDEN  HANDBOOK. 
We  have  added  twenty  pages  just  in  giving  addi- 
ional  information  about  plants  that  we  think  will 
be  helpful  to  you.  You  will  find  most  of  our  descrip¬ 
tions  have  had  added  to  them  information  that  has 
not  been  contained  in  our  previous  Hand  Books; 
and  information  that  is  found  in  few,  if  any,  garden 
catalogues  published  in  this  country.  Facts  worth 
knowing  about  the  various  plants,  and  information 
regarding  their  individual  needs  have  been  added. 
In  addition  to  that  these  last  three  pages  in  the  book 
are  given  up  entirely  to  directions  that  should  help 
you  make  a  success  of  your  gardening.  Do  not  pass 
these  last  pages  by;  to  you  they  are  the  most  import¬ 
ant  in  the  book. 

LUCK  IN  GARDENING 

Do  you  have  good  luck  in  gardening?  Some  folks 
don’t.  People  have  told  me  about  the  “Splendid 
luck”  some  friend  has  in  gardening;  everything  the 
friend  plants  grows.  Personally  they  don’t  have 
much  luck. 

Jock  McTavish  and  two  English  friends  went  out 
on  a  fishing  trip,  and  it  was  agreed  that  the  first  man 
who  caught  a  fish  was  to  pay  for  their  dinners.  Jock 
was  known  to  be  the  the  best  fisherman  thereabouts 
and  his  friends  were  joshing  him  about  his  having  to 
pay  for  the  three  dinners. 

An’,  d’ye  ken”,  said  Jock,  in  speaking  of  it  after¬ 
ward  baith  ’o  them  had  a  guid  bite,  an’  w  is  sae 
mean  they  wadna’  pu’  in”.  “Then  you  lost?”  asked 
the  listener.  ”  Oh,  no.  I  didna’  pit  ony  bait  on  my 
hook.” 

Jock  didn’t  have  good  luck. 

WE  ARE  MAKING  YOU  A  PRESENT 

We  are  making  you  a  present  of  some  twenty  pages 
in  our  new  catalogue.  We  have  added  twenty  pages 
this  year,  just  to  tell  you  how  to  have  “good  luck” 
in  planting.  Some  of  these  pages  will  be  given  over 
to  helpful  talks  pn  planting, — no  selling  talk;  and 
throughout  the  catalogue  we  have  used  up  a  lot  more 
space  in  giving  you  all  the  information  about  the 
various  plants  we  think  will  be  helpful.  We  have 
told,  so  far  as  we  know  them,  the  bad  points  of  a 
plant  as  well  as  its  good  points.  If  you  do  not  have 
“good  luck”  with  the  plants  you  buy  from  us  it  will, 
be  because  you  ‘‘didna’  pit  bait  on  your  hook.”  I 
you  think  this  is  not  a  present  of  some  value  ask  any 
printer  what  twen  ty  additional  pages  of  a  catalogue 
like  this  costs. 

THIS  IS  A  BOOK  OF 
“SHORT  STORIES” 

Make  this  your  ‘‘short  story”  book.  Pick  it  up 
whenever  you  have  a  few  minutes  to  spare;  read  a 
paragraph,  you  will  find  something  interesting  on 
every  page.  You  will  find  lots  of ‘‘go  to  bed”  stories 
in  it,  and  it  is  not  all  “fiction”.  Of  course,  a 'cata¬ 
logue  writer  is  an  optimist.  Some  say  an  optimist  “is 
the  man  who  thought  the  husband  was  the  head  of 
the  house.”  But  an  optimist  is  sometimes  right.  You 
will  be  an  optimist  about  gardening  if  you  “pit  some 
bait  on  your  hook”.  I  am  going  to  tell  you  about 
the  “bait”  needed  for  good  luck  in  gardening. 

COMING  DOWN  TO  FACTS 

Coming  down  to  facts,  there  are  some  things  that 
you  must  know  and  do  if  you  are  to  be  successful 
in  gardening,  and  I  shall  try  and  tell  these  as  simply 
and  as  briefly  as  possible.  Whether  you  are  to  have 
success  (good  luck)  in  your  gardening,  or  failure  (bad 
luck)  depends  upon  yourself,  so  here  goes  for  the 
essentials  for  “good  lack”. 

FIVE  ESSENTIALS 

The  five  essentials  for  success  in  gardening  are: 
Nourishing  soil.  Proper  planting.  Sun.  Water.  Cul¬ 
tivation.  Two  per  cent  of  the  plant’s  substance  comes 
from  the  soil,  the  other  ninety-eight  from  moisture 
and  the  air.  A  soil  containing  the  proper  food  in  suf¬ 
ficient  quantity  will  provide  the  two  per  cent,  sane 
watering,  and  a  “place  in  the  sun”  will  insure  the 
remaining  ninety-eight  per  cent.  A  favorable  location 
will  insure  the  light  and  warmth  of  the  sun,  and 
cultivating  the  soil  will  let  in  air. 


“FIRST  CATCH  YOUR  HARE” 

This  is  an  old  adage.  I  was  goint  to  say,  “first 
buy  your  plants”,  but  I  believe  preparing  for  the 
reception  of  the  plants  is  even  more  important.  The 
ground  should  be  ready  when  they  arrive.  Of  course 
it  is  a  good  plan  to  study  our  GARDEN  HANDBOOK 
carefully,  and  select  and  order  the  plants  you  want 
for  spring;  sometimes  late  ordering  means  disaapoint- 
ment  certain  plants  are  all  sold.  Place  your  order 
early,  then — -get  busy.  There  is  some  work  ahead  of 
you  before  you  will  be  ready  for  the  new  arrivals. 
“Luck”  in  gardening  means  work,  enjoyable  work 
however,  if  you  love  flowers.  If  you  don’t  like  this 
kind  of  work  hire  some  one  to  do  it;  and  see  that  it 
is  done  right  It  is  foolish  to  spend  good  money  for 
plants,  and  then  practically  throw  them  away  by 
not  seeing  that  they  have  proper  soil  and  planting 

WHAT  IS  GOOD  SOIL? 

A  good  soil  is  one  that  contains  plenty  of  plant 
food,  and  is  of  such  texture  that  the  plant  roots  can 
readily  penetrate  it  and  assimilate  the  food  contained 
in  it;  and  it  should  also  be  of  such  a  character  as  to 
be  fairly  retentive  of  moisture.  A  soil  that  is  almost 
pure  clay  contains  many  of  the  elements  necessary 
to  plant  growth;  but  it  cannot  be  successfully  worked 
when  wet,  and  when  dry  it  will  bake  and  harden  so 
that  neither  moisture  nor  air  can  reach  the  roots 
On  the  other  hand,  pure  sand  is  too  porous  to  sustain 
good  growth;  and  it  does  not  retain  moisture.  Where 
a  sufficient  amount  of  vegetable  matter  is  mixed  with 
either  of  these  soils  we  have  an  ideal  garden  soil,  one 
containing  a  large  proportion  of  humus.  Humus  is 
the  term  applied  to  the  average  condition  of  most 
top  soils.  A  good  depth  of  humus  is  very  necessary. 
Many  lawns  and  gardens  are  built  on  earth  that  has 
been  removed  from  the  cellar  excavation.  It  contains 
no  humus,  and  is  dead  and  lifeless;  but  may  be  con¬ 
verted  into  a  good  soil  by  the  addition  of  lime  and 
fertilizer.  A  sandy  loam  is  the  best  soil.  It  consists 
of  a  combination  of  clay,  sand,  and  decayed  vegetable 
matter,  leaf  mould  and  manure. 

HOW  TO  MAKE  A  GOOD  SOIL 

If  you  are  not  fortunate  enough  to  possess  the  ideal 
garden  soil,  you  can  make  a  good  soil.  If  your  soil  is 
clayey,  it  must  be  deeply  dug  to  open  it  up  and  sand 
and  manure  added.  Wood  ashes  are  also  good, 
also  leaf  mould,  though  both  of  these  are  almost 
out  of  the  question  here;  sifted  coal  ashes  are  also 
frequently  used.  The  coal  ashes  are  simply  to  make  the 
clay  soil  more  porous.  If  your  soil  is  sandy  it  requires 
something  to  bind  it  together,  and  where  possible 
clay  should  be  added;  heavy  sod  dug  in  will  help 
as  will  also  strawy  manure.  Whenever  you  see  dead 
leaves  being  gathered  up  bring  them  in  and  dig  them 
in,  or  better,  make  a  compost  heap  of  them  and 
allow  them  to  rot,  and  then  dig  the  leaf  mould 
(this  is  what  you  will  then  have)  into  your  flower  beds. 
It  is  nothing  short  of  a  crime  the  way  thousands  of 
dollars  worth  of  the  best  garden  soil  builder  is  burned 
up  in  Colorado,  every  fall.  Try  buying  a  load  of  “leaf 
mound”  and  you  can  readily  figure  where  thousands 
of  dollars  are  wasted  every  fall  in  this  leaf-burning 
crime. 

THE  ACTUAL  PREPARATION 

First  stake  out  the  shrub  and  flower  beds;  then 
prepare  for  some  real  work.  The  beds  should  be  dug 
to  a  depth  of  at  least  fifteen  inches;  the  deeper  it  is 
trenched  the  better.  If  the  garden  is  being  made 
where  there  is  a  lawn,  cut  the  sod  off  in  chunks  and 
throw  to  one  side,  dig  out  the  next  spadeful,  this  is 
your  best  soil,  and  should  be  put  to  one  side  and  saved 
for  the  surface.  Dig  out  yet  another  layer,  the  sod, 
together  with  two  spades  depth  in  digging  should 
give  you  the  necessary  fifteen  inches.  Break  up  the 
sod,  and  place  it  face  down  in  the  bottom  of  the 
trench;  this  will  rot  and  form  ideal  soil.  Throw  back 
some  of  the  bottom  soil  that  has  been  removed,  cover 
with  well  rotted  manure,  cow  manure,  preferably  — 
it  must  be  old  and  thoroughly  rotted — mix  this  in 
by  spading.  Then  fill  another  spadeful  of  soil,  cover 
with  manure,  and  mix  as  before,  and  so  on  until  the 
bed  is  filled  up.  Be  sure  and  keep  the  best  soil  for  the 
surface.  Soak  the  beds  with  water,  and  let  them  settle 
well  before  planting.  In  a  heavy  soil  it  may  be  found 
necessary  to  dispose  of  some  of  the  earth  removed,  or 
the  beds  may  be  too  high;  they  should  not  stand

higher  than  the  -  surrounding  grass.  If  any  soil  is 
removed,  be  sure  that  it  is  the  subsoil,  never  that 
taken  from  near  the  surface.  A  wheelbarrow  load  of 
manure  to  every  two  square  yards  is  ample. 

IDEAL  CONDITIONS 

Will  you  go  a  little  further?  There  is  yet  one  pro¬ 
cess  necessary  for  “ideal  conditions”.  Most  soil 
requires  lime.  Lime  is  essential  in  building  up  and 
enriching  soil  It  supplies  a  kind  of  food  that  strength¬ 
ens  the  plants,  and  it  also  releases  other  nutritive 
elements  in  the  soil,  lightens  heavy  soils  and  binds 
light  ones,  and  in  addition  sweetens  the  soil.  Either 
pulverized  limestone  or  hydrated  lime  will  do.  Rake 
the  lime  into  the  top  course,  in  the  proportion  of 
about  ten  pounds  to  every  hundred  square  feet,  on 
clay  soil  twice  the  amount  can  be  used  Beds  so 
prepared  should  last  without  remaking  for  five  to 
six  years.  Remaking  will  be  taken  up  in  a  later  para¬ 
graph. 


CULTIVATION 

The  soil  must  be  cultivated  to  keep  it  open,  so 
that  water,  air  and  plant  food  can  penetrate  it,  and 
thus  effect  the  chemical  changes  necessary  to  put  the 
food  in  the  soil  in  condition  to  be  absorbed  by  the 
roots.  Of  course,  all  weeds  should  be  kept  out,  as 
they  absorb  moisture,  and  also  use  up  plant  food. 
The  ground  should  be  stirred  to  a  depth  of  about  two 
inches  amongst  perennial  plants;  deep  cultivation 
may  disturb  shallow  rooted  plants.  For  shrubs  and 
trees  a  deeper  cultivation  is  desirable.  Go  over  the 
beds  about  once  a  week. 

WINTER  PROTECTION 

Flower  beds  are  benefitted  by  a  winter  protection 
of  rotted  manure,  preferably  that  containing  straw. 
It  should  be  put  on  just  after  the  ground  freezes 
and  if  wet  down  it  should  freeze  and  hold  w'ell  during 
the  winter.  This  keeps  the  ground  from  continual 
thawing  and  freezing,,  which  forms  cracks  in  the 
ground,  allowing  air  to  get  to  the  roots,  and  also 
heaves  the  plants  up.  Such  plants  as  Foxglove,  An- 
chusa,  Canterbury  Bells,  and  Wallflowers  should  have 
but  a  light  protection  of  evergreen  boughs,  or  such 
other  protection  as  will  not  pack  down  on  them 
causing  them  to  rot.  Winter  protection  keeps  the 
plants  from  responding  to  changes  in  temperature 
and  making  too  early  a  growth. 

SHRUBS  OR  SHRUBBERY 

The  proper  distance  for  spacing  shrubs  is  greatly 
in  dispute.  One  book  will  tell  you  to  plant  Bridal 
Wreaths  six  to  ten  feet  apart;  another  will  say  allow 
two  to  four  feet.  It  all  depends  upon  what  your  idea 
is  in  planting  shrubs.  Are  you  growing  them  as  “spec¬ 
imen  shrubs”  or  as  “shrubbery”  for  the  mass  effect? 
If  you  are  growing  as  specimens — not  many  are  used 
for  that  purpose  these  days,  give  plenty  of  room. 
For  shrub  borders,  and  for  “foundation”  plantings 
about  a  house  I  am  strongly  in  favor  of  close  planting. 
Note  the  picture  showing  the  front  of  my  own  resi¬ 
dence,  on  page  54.  The  shrubs  on  either  side  of  the 
door  are  Regal  Privet.  If  allowed  room  to  develop 
any  one  of  these  shrubs  would  fill  a  space  ten  to 
twelve  feet  square.  There  are  three  of  the  shrubs 
on  each  side  of  the  door,  in  a  space  of  SIX  FEET. 
The  foliage  is  more  dense  than  if  but  one  shrub  had 
been  used;  and  they  will  not  grow  as  large,  thus 
making  it  possible  to  keep  them  within  bounds.  One 
of  these  shrubs  planted  alone  would  become  much 
too  large  for  that  space,  and  would  be  out  of  propor¬ 
tion  to  the  house.  Close  planting  will  more  nearly 
resemble  Nature.  , 

WHAT  A  WELL  KNOWN  LANDSCAPE 
WRITER  SAYS 

Miss  Grace  Tabor,  well  known  as  a  Landscape 
Architect,  and  also  as  a  writer  on  this  subject,  says  — 
I  will  quote  a  few  lines  direct  from  “Come  Into  The 
Garden”.  In  planting  shrubbery  “the  aim  should 
always  be  to  produce  with  it  a  mass — an  impenetra¬ 
ble  thicket  of  interlacing  boughs.  Regard  the  indi¬ 
viduals  only  as  components  of  a  blossom-strewn,  col¬ 
orful  thicket.  For  a  distance  between  individuals 
two  to  three  feet  is  ample,  excepting  along  the  edge  of 
the  border,  or  in  the  background  where  large  shrubs 
are  furnishing  the  high  growth”.  To  which  I  say  amen. 


TREES  AND  THEIR  SPACING 

Of  course  in  the  planting  of  a  tree  on  the  lawn  for 
shade  you  will  plant  it  where  the  shade  will  be  of  the 
most  benefit;  but  do  not  crowd  your  lawn  with  trees. 
For  parkings  permanent  trees  should  not 
stand  closer  than  twenty-five  to  thirty-five  feet, 
preferably  not  closer  than  thirty.  If  you  must  have 
quick  results  space  at  the  proper  distance,  and  then 
between  each  two  plant  a  Carolina  Poplar,  or  some 
other  quick  growing  tree;  and  when  the  permanent 
trees  begin  to  attain  some  size  CUT  OUT  THE 
FILLERS  Do  this  before  the  trees  begin  to  touch, 
or  the  “fillers”  will  retard  the  growth  of  the  others 
and  spoil  their  beauty.  The  Carolina  is  as  good  a  tree 
as  can  be  used  for  this  purpose;  and  it  is  cheap. 

PLANTING  TREES 

If  your  trees  are  to  be  planted  in  the  parking,  or 
some  other  spot  that  has  not  been  thoroughly  pre¬ 
pared  dig  LARGE  holes  for  them,  at  least  a  foot 
larger  than  is  necessary  to  contain  the  roots  when 
straightened  out  to  their  natural  positions.  The 
small  rootlets,  which  are  the  ones  that  do  the  feeding 
cannot  force  their  way  into  a  hard  wall  of  earth;  and 
will  remain  dormant,  or  stunted.  They  MUST  have 
reasonably  loose  earth  in  which  to  grow.  This,  of 
course,  applies  equally  well  to  shrubs  and  all  other 
plants. 


PRUNING  BEFORE  PLANTING 

In  the  digging  of  nursery  stock  it  is  impossible  to 
avoid  damaging  some  of  the  roots.  Where  a  root 
has  been  broken  it  should  be  cut  off  clean  with  a 
sharp  knife  just  inside  the  break.  Trees  should  have 
their  limbs  shortened  to  correspond  with  the  loss 
of  roots  in  digging;  but  never  cut  the  main  leader. 
Some  of  the  smaller  side  limbs  may  be  cut  away  alto¬ 
gether.  Directions  for  the  pruning  of  shrubs  at  plant¬ 
ing  is  given  at  the  head  of  the  Shrub  Department. 


DEPTH  OF  PLANTING  AND  SETTING 

Trees  and  shrubs  should  be  set  so  that  the  crown 
is  just  a  little  below  its  previous  position;  the  dis¬ 
coloration  mark  on  the  stem  will  show  where  this 
has  been.  Spread  out  the  roots  so  that  they  will  be  in 
their  natural  positions,  work  the  soil  around  them 
with  the  hands,  while  a  helper  holds  the  plant  in 
position.  When  the  roots  are  well  covered  shovel  in 
some  more  earth;  and  then  stamp  it  down.  Then 
more  earth  and  more  stamping,  until  the  hole  is 
filled.  After  planting  water  thoroughly,  use  all  the 
water  the  ground  will  soak  up.  A  good  idea  is  to  pile 
a  low  encircling  mound  a  foot  or  more  out  from  the 
plant,  forming  a  basin  that  will  hold  the  water. 

FEEDING  PLANTS 

Perennial  plants,  like  all  other  plants,  require  food, 
and  even  a  bed  that  has  been  properly  prepared  will 
not  last  indefinetely.  If  you  wish  to  keep  your  garden 
right  up  to  the  mark  work  in  some  fertilizer  each 
spring.  A  fork  full  of  stable  manure — well  rotted  — 
should  be  carefully  worked  in  around  each  clump,  or 
if  bonemeal  or  other  commercial  fertilizer  is  used, 
work  in  at  the  rate  of  a  handful  to  the  clump.  Re¬ 
make  the  bed  every  four  or  five  years. 


THE  GUARANTEE  ON  PLANTS 

Some  people  have  a  peculiar  idea  as  to  what  they 
are  entitled  to  in  the  matter  o  f  a  guarantee  on  plants 
sold  them  bv  a  nursery.  If  the  plants  do  not  grow 
they  think  the  nurseryman  should  replace  them — 
FREE  OF  CHARGE.  Do  you  buy  flour  this  way? 
Does  the  groceryman  guarantee  that  you  will  make 
good  pies  and  cakes  out  of  the  flour  he  sells  you? 
If  you  buy  a  golf  ball,  does  the  dealer  guarantee  a 
good  score.  I  am  somewhat  of  a  fishing  “fan”,  but 
no  dealer  ever  sold  me  flies  with  a  guarantee  that  I 
would  make  a  good  catch  with  them.  He  seemed  to 
think  that  was  up  to  me.  The  nursery  that  sells 
you  plants  does  not  know  whether  or  not  you  know 
anything  about  the  planting  of  them,  what  kind  of 
soil  they  go  into,  or  what  care  they  will  have  after 
they  are  planted.  You  may  hold  them  two  weeks 
after  receiving  them  so  far  as  he  knows,  may  not 
even  plant  them  at  all.  HOW  COULD  HE  GUAR¬ 
ANTEE  that  they  will  grow?  Nurseries  of  good 
standing,  and  those  that  expect  to  remain  in  business 
must  be  in  this  class,  use  their  utmost  endeavors  to 
send  you  plants  that  are  in  good  condition.  They 


THE  SUTHERLAND  LANDSCAPE  &  NURSERY  CO.,  BOULDER,  COLORADO 


are  as  much  interested  as  you  are  in  having  them 
grow,  but  they  cannont  follow  up  each  shipment  to 
see  if  the  plants  have  the  right  soil,  proper  planting 
and  reasonable  care  after  planting.  Bay  from  re¬ 
putable  firms,  they  will  send  good  stock;  and  if  it 
is  not  received  in  good  condition  notify  them  AT 
ONCE.  Usually  they  will  replace  with  new  stock 


or  refund  the  money  paid.  The  door-to-door  salesman 
will  give  you  any  kind  of  a  guarantee  you  wish;  but 
you  will  probably  never  see  him  again.  I  know  of 
no  responsible  Nursery  selling  from  a  catalogue  that 
will,  or  could,  if  they  wished,  do  more  than  guarantee 
that  the  stock  will  reach  you  in  good  shape.  The  rest 
is  up  to  you. 


WHY  WE  USE  BOTANICAL  NAMES? 

You  Should  Know  This.  Do  Not  Overlook  It. 
It  Is  Important. 

To  make  buying  easy,  and  to  insure  customers 
getting  what  they  think  they  are  buying  an  American 
Committee  of  Horticultural  Nomenclature  has  just 
published  a  book  giving  the  new  approved  STAN¬ 
DARD  SCIENTIFIC,  and  approved  STANDARD 
COMMON  name  of  every  plant  in  American  com¬ 
merce.  The  names  used  in  our  new  catalogue  are 
taken  from  that  book,  and  may  be  accepted  as  the 
correct  names  both  scientific  and  common,  of  all  the 
stock  herein  offered.  To  illustrate: — On  page  2  you 
will  find: 

ACH I LLE  A— YARROW

mongst  shrubs,  but  should — etc.,  (This  is  the  des¬ 
cription  of  Achille,  as  a  class).

tion  of  Achillea,  The  Pearl. 


“PERRY’S  WHITE.  A  choice  variety,  etc.”  De¬ 
scription  of  Achillea,  Perry’s  White.) 

“Achillea”  is  the  Scientific,  or  botanical  name  of 
the  group. 

“Yarrow”  is  the  common  name  of  the  group. 

“Achillea,  The  Pearl”  is  the  name  of  one  particular 
variety  of  Achillea.  Your  order  would  read: 

6  Achillea.  The  Pearl,  $1.00. 

COMMON  NAMES  ARE  DECEPTIVE.  If  you 
buy  by  a  ‘Common  Name”  you  have  no  assurance 
that  you  will  get  what  you  expected.  One  plant  may 
be  known  by  a  dozen  different  “Common  Names”, 
and  the  name  you  know  it  by  may  not  mean  anything 
to  the  person  from  whom  you  buy.  On  the  other  hand, 
the  same  “Common  Name”  may  be  applied  to  a  dozen 
different  plants.  We  rewrote  practically  the  whole  of 
our  catalogue  so  that  we  might  have  the  correct 
BOTANICAL  NAME  of  each  plant;  and  the  COR¬ 
RECT  COMMON  NAME.  This  was  a  big  job;  but 
it  was  done  to  insure  your  knowing  exactly  what  you 
are  buying.  Correct  names,  and  correct  descriptions 
are  given  in  our  catalogue.  You  know  what  you  are 
getting  when  you  buy  from  us. 


WHAT  A  GARDEN  PLAN  IS 


Plan  Of  Garden  Made  For  Dr.  John  M.  Foster, 
Denver.  A  Picture  Of  The  Garden  Made  From 
This  Plan  Is  Shown  On  The  Front  Cover. 


We  give  here  a  reproduction  of  a  Garden  Plan 
and  on  the  Front  Cover  you  will  find  a  picture  of  the 
Garden  made  from  this  plan.  You  can  have  just  as 
beautiful  as  Garden.  But  it  must  be  planned. 

A  carefully  thought  out  plan  is  the  first  essential 
in  making  a  garden.  A  garden  should  be  an  outdoor 
living  room.  It  should  have  a  definate  and  intimate 
connection  with  the  house;  and,  as  a  whole,  it  should 
constitute  a  beautiful  picture.  This  is  not  possible 
without  a  plan.  It  is  just  as  necessary  to  plan  a  gar¬ 
den  as  it  is  to  plan  a  house. 

A  garden  must  have  a  framework,  just  as  there 
must  be  a  frame  for  the  house.  The  forms  that  enter 
into  the  ground  plan  are  more  important  than  the 
character  of  the  plants  used  in  the  planting.  There 
must  be  a  nice  balance  of  parts.  The  various  groups, 
or  plantings  must  balance,  so  that  one  feature  shall 
not  stand  out  more  strongly  than  another. 

A  plan  is  an  economy  in  the  making  of  a  garden; 
as  you  know  before  beginning  work  on  it  just  what 
you  intend  to  do.  All  waste  of  stock  and  labor  is 
eliminated;  all  unnecessary  experiments  avoided;  and 
in  addition  there  will  not  be  the  disappointments  that 
come  when  a  garden  is  made  without  a  definate  plan 
and  things  do  not  turn  out  as  you  expected. 

The  picture  to  the  left  shows  what  a  plan  is  like. 
This  was  for  a  Formal  Garden;  (one  drawn  along 
geometrical  lines)  but  it  is  just  as  important  to  plan 
an  informal  one.  The  plan  is  drawn  to  scale,  the 
house  is  shown,  •  together  with  any  garden  structures, 
all  walks,  fences,  etc.  Each  tree,  shrub,  vine  and 
plant  is  located  on  the  plan,  and  numbered,  and  to 
the  right  is  a  list  of  the  plants  used,  under  the  same 
numbers.  ThesQ  plants  are  all  listed  in  our  Garden 
Handbook  under  the  same  names,  and  wfth  full 
descriptions,  so  that  you  know  exactly  what  goes 
into  our  garden,  and  what  it  will  cost. 

PLAN  YOUR  GARDEN 

If  you  wish  to  have  a  BEAUTIFUL  GARDEN 
let  us  plan  one  for  you.  The  cost  is  moderate,  and 
you  will  ,  save  more  than  the  cost  of  the  plan  in  the 
waste  avoided.  Send  us  a  few  Kodak  pictures  of 
your  house  and  lot,  showing  the  various  objects  sur¬ 
rounding  it  and  we  will  be  glad  to  suggest  the  kind 
of  plan  you  should  have  and  its  cost. 

The  plan  may  be  carried  out  at  one  time,  or  de¬ 
veloped  over  a  series  of  years.

A  NEW  GARDEN  BOOKLET 

Have  you  seen  our  Garden  Booklet,  A  CONFI¬ 
DENTIAL  TALK  ABOUT  YOUR  GARDEN”?  It 
tells  about  the  planning  of  a  garden,  and  shows  pic¬ 
tures  of  many  of  the  Gardens  we  have  planned  and 
planted.  The  Editor  of  BETTER  HOMES  AND 
GARDENS  says  of  it:  ‘‘It  is  the  most  outstanding 
Booklet  of  its  kind  in  America.” 

No  expense  has  been  spared  in  getting  up  this 
booklet  in  an  endeavor  to  make  it  interesting  and  of 
real  value  to  gardeners;  and  while  it  is  not  for  free 
distribution  generally,  we  WILL  send  it  free  to  any 
amateur  gardener  who  is  interested  in  planning  his 
garden.
