Gentlemen: 


I  cannot  refrain  from  acknowledging  the 
receipt  of  one  of  the  best  shipments  of  Perennials  it 
has  ever  been  my  privilege  to  receive.  The  crate 
arrived  the  early  part  of  last  week.  The  packing  was 
done  as  nearly  scientifically  -as*  anything  I  have  ever 
seen.  Alternating  layers  of  excelsior  and  moss  proved 
to  me  that  the  plants  could  neither  heat  nor  dry  out, 
so  I  let  the  entire  shipment  stand  until  the  week-end. 

Saturday  I  got  busy,  found  the  trowel  and 
began  to  set  out  the  plants.  I  soon  found  that  the 
trowel  wouldn't  work.  The  root  systems  of  such  plants 
as  Astilbes  (Spireas),  Hardy  Asters ,Thalictrum, Lupins 
and  Delphiniums  were  such  as  called  for  digging  trenches 
with  a  spade.  Even  smaller  growing  Perennials,  like 
Primroses,  Leontopodiums,  Poppies  and  other  plants  for 
the  rock  garden,  had  root  systems  truly  remarkable  for 
their  kinds. 

Thank  you  for  this  100  point  Service.  It  is 
one  sure  way  to  great  possibilities  before  you.

JJJndoubtedly  one  of  the  most  interesting  feat¬ 
ures  in  a  garden  is  a  rockery  furnished  with 
mountain  plants  commonly  known  as  “alpines” 


Y/EW  plants  indeed  yield  so  much  pleas- 
/  ure  to  the  cultivator  as  the  alpine 
pinks,  aubrietias,  creeping  phloxes, 
veronicas,  etc.,  in  the  Spring  and  early 
Summer.  When  well  established  in  bold 
masses  on  the  rocks,  and  laden  with  their 
wealth  of  blossom,  they  quite  surpass  all 
other  hardy  flowers  in  their  beauty  of 
color  and  simplicity  of  growth. 

To  grow  these  and  the  many  choicer 
alpines  successfully  is,  to  the  enthusiast, 
one  of  the  most  delightful  phases  of  the 
gardening  art  and  craft.  In  fact,  it  is  a 
hobby  which  has  secured  many  ardent  dis¬ 
ciples  during  the  last  few  decades,  and 
prompted  Wayside  Gardens  to  produce 
these  plants  in  great  quantities  and  of 
large  size  so  that  they  may  establish  them¬ 
selves  easily  and  give  results  quickly. 


All  plants  offered  in  this  catalog  are 
strong  field-grown  roots,  especially  grown 
to  a  size  which  will  give  the  planter  im¬ 
mediate  results.  There  are  two  or  three 
instances  where  it  is  impossible  to  use 
other  than  pot  grown  plants  in  order  to 
obtain  the  best  results.  Where  those 
plants  are  ordered  we  send  out  strong 
two-year  or  three-year-old  pot  plants. 
The  prices  charged  for  our  stock  are  based 
on  the  above  mentioned  facts. 


We  will  gladly  furnish  prospective  cus¬ 
tomers  with  names  of  well  known  nursery¬ 
men  and  landscape  architects  who  have 
used  our  plants  and  bulbs  for  many  years 
to  their  utmost  satisfaction.

Anemone  Japonica  or  Japanese 

Windflower 


E  are  offering  this  year  new  Euro¬ 
pean  varieties  and  also  the  best  of 
the  standard  sorts,  selected  for 
their  early  dowering  qualities,  freedom  of 
bloom,  and  usefulness  as  cut  flowers.  The 
plants  are  all  two-year-old  field-grown 
roots,  not  small  pot  plants,  as  has  been 
customary  to  send  out. 

For  earliest  flowers,  we  recommend 
Hupehensis  which  commences  to  flower 
early  in  September ;  it  makes  a  wonderful 


showing  until  the  middle  of  October  when 
Alice,  the  new  pink  variety,  puts  in  its 
appearance.  This  is  closely  followed  by 
the  two  best  white,  Japonica  Alba  and 
Whirlwind,  and  two  other  well  known 
pink  varieties:  Queen  Charlotte  and 
Kriemhilde.  Prince  Henry  is  a  fine,  dou¬ 
ble,  dark  reddish-pink  variety.  Richard 
Ahrends,  Buhler  Kind,  and  Max  Vogel, 
we  would  like  to  let  speak  for  themselves. 
They  are  offered  on  page  8.

Type  of  New  Giant  Japanese  Iris 


Japanese  Iris 


Q  T  \URIXG  the  past  years  a  great  deal 
*  /  1  erf  attention  has  been  given  to  the 

M.  J  improving  of  German  Iris.  During 
these  same  years  we  devoted  our 
special  attention  to  the  much  harder  and 
slower  process  of  improving  the  Japanese 
Iris.  Of  the  thousands  of  seedlings  that  we 
have  raised  only  a  few  of  the  ver}r  best  are 
now  offered  for  sale  for  the  first  time.  On 
page  33  we  list  a  wonderful  collection  of 


these  beautiful  Irises.  Varieties  such  as 
Albatross,  America,  Columbia.  La  Tosca, 
Lavender  Giant,  Matchless  and  Olympia, 
are  most  exquisite.  There  are  also  other 
varieties  listed  on  that  page  which  are  un¬ 
usually  fine.  Conservative  as  we  are  we 
do  not  hesitate  to  sa}r  that  our  collection 
is  the  finest  and  most  worth  while  in 
America  todav.

AETHIONEMA  (Persian  Candytuft). 

These  hardy  little  rock  plants  are  of  the  most  fascinating 
character.  The  foliage  is  a  beautiful,  glaucous  blue;  stems 
•woody,  and  when  covered,  with  their  heads  of  pink  blossoms, 
make  a  picture  not  to  be  forgotten.  We  supply  pot  plants  only, 
as  field  plants  are  hard  to  establish. 

They  are  almost  shrubby  in  habit,  and  are  improved  by  a  slight 
cutting  back  after  blooming.  Stony,  sandy  loam  is  suitable  for 
them  and  a  warm,  sunny  position.

ANCHUSA  < Alkanet). 

For  producing  a  mass  effect  of  brilliant  blue,  the  Anchusas 
cannot  be  surpassed.  They  should  be  treated  as  biennials,  as 
the  old  plants  exhaust  themselves  at  the  end  of  two  or  three 
years.  They  reproduce  themselves,  however,  from  self-sown 
seed.  The  blooming  season  can  be  extended  for  several  weeks 
by  cutting  the  spikes  as  soon  as  the  flowers  fade,  thus  prevent¬ 
ing  seeding.  Three  Doz.  100

ANDROS  ACE  (Rock  Jasmine). 

Typical  Alpines,  fascinating  because  of  their  great  beauty. 
Many  of  them  are  difficult  to  grow,  their  worst  enemy  being 
early  Spring  rains.  We  are  listing  only  the  easiest.  They  re¬ 
quire  very  gritty  soil,  the  stones  furnishing  the  cool  moisture 
their  roots  enjoy.  In  sticky  clay  or  hot,  loose  sand,  they  will 
soon  dwindle  and  die.

Sarmentosa  tChumbuiji).  One  of  the

ANEMONE  SPECIES 

Hupehensis  (Early  Anemone).  Was  orig¬ 
inally  introduced  from  central  China, 
is  closely  allied  to  Anemone  japonica, 
which,  in  a  miniature  form,  it  resembles. 


The  plant  grows  from  12  to  14  inches 
high  and  from  early  in  August  until 
late  in  Autumn  produces  an  abundance 
of  flowers  about  1%  inches  in  diameter, 
of  a  pleasing  mauve-rose,  much  hardier 
than  the  japonica  varieties  .

AQUILEGIA  -  Columbine 

As  a  cut  flower  the  Long-Spurred  Aquilegias  are  the  daintiest 
of  our  outdoor  grown  flowers.  They  remain  in  bloom  for  a 
long  season.  They  are  not  at  all  particular  as  to  soil  or  loca¬ 
tion,  although  they  prefer  a  sandy  loam  and  a  moist  but  well 
drained,  sunny  position,  and  usually  make  themselves  at  home 
in  any  hardy  border  or  rockery.  Their  period  of  flowering 
covers  the  late  Spring  and  early  Summer  months.  Taken  as  a 
whole,  they  are  a  most  important  part  of  the  hardy  garden,  and 
should  be  grown  in  quantity  by  every  lover  of  old-fashioned 
garden  flowers.

It  is  in  Europe,  however,  that  our  Asters  have  been  most  highly 
appreciated.  Many  improvements  have  been  made  by  European 
growers,  and  many  hybrid  forms  have  been  produced  by  cross¬ 
ing  the  different  species.  For  the  best  results,  they  require 
division  and  replanting  every  third  year.  All  are  about  3  to  4 
feet  high.

DELPHINIUM  -  Larkspur 

English  Delphiniums  are  the  most  beautiful  hardy  plants  in 
cultivation,  for  they  have  such  an  immense  variety  of  beauty 
and  increase  in  size,  in  beauty,  and  often  in  quantity,  year 
after  year. 

The  culture  of  Delphiniums  is  exceedingly  simple.  The  soil 
may  be  a  rich,  friable  loam,  which  suits  them  finely;  but  any 
soil,  even  hot  and  sandy,  if  well  watered  and  manured,  will 
give  excellent  results.  A  succession  of  flowers  may  be  expected 
from  Spring  to  early  Autumn,  especially  if  the  spikes  which 
have  done  flowering  early,  be  cut  down  to  the  ground;  fresh 
growth  will  then  be  produced  which  will  give  blossoms.  Coal 
ashes  strewn  over  the  crowns  will  protect  the  plants  from 
slugs  through  the  Winter  and  Spring. 

Choicest  Wayside  Gardens  Hybrids 

Here  offered  are  the  newest,  the  best  and  the  finest  to  be 
secured  anywhere.  The  range  of  colors  varies  from  the  palest 
shade  of  blue  to  the  deepest  indigo  blue  and  royal  purple  with 
many  intermediary  pastel  tones  of  mauve,  pink  and  lavender 
blendings.  Among  these  new  hybrids  are  flowers  of  huge  size 
in  both  single  and  double  forms.  This  strain  has  been  raised 
from  seed  saved  from  the  finest  named  kinds  in  creation.  Visit¬ 
ors  at  our  nursery  proclaim  them  the  best  they  have  ever 
seen.  Those  who  wish  to  perfect  their  already  much  prized 
borders  cannot  afford  to  overlook  these  wonderful  hybrids.

FERNS 

HARDY  VARIETIES 

The  cultivation  of  Hardy  Ferns  is  remarkably  simple.  All  they 
want  is  a  light  alluvial  soil,  a  little  loam  and  peat  or  leaf-mould 
sufficient  to  keep  the  soil  light  and  open,  plenty  of  moisture, 
position  varying  from  partial  to  deep  shade.  The  aspleniums 
and  many  others  will  grow  on  walls,  chinks  of  rocks,  etc. 
Many  will  revel  in  full  sunshine  in  any  ordinary  border.

GAILLARDIA  -  Blanket  Flower 

Improved  English  Strain.  We  consider  the  Gaillardia  one  of 
the  most  desirable  hardy  plants  in  cultivation,  and  our  strain 
of  these  brilliant  flowered  plants  to  be  the  finest  extant. 
Though  such  an  ornamental  addition  to  the  herbaceous  border, 
the  perennial  Gaillardia  is  content  with  extremely  simple 
treatment.  Dig  the  soil  deeply  and  enrich  with  well-rotted 
manure.  We  recommend  the  Gaillardia  for  bedding  purposes 
as  well  as  for  borders.  Everyone  will  have  noticed  how  grandly 
Gaillardias  have  thriven  through  droughts;  they  seem  hardly 
to  need  water.  The  gay  blossoms  are  obtainable  in  perpetual 
profusion  from  June  to  November  and  the  greater  the  drought 
and  scarcity  of  other  flowers  the  more  the  utility  of  the  per¬ 
ennial  Gaillardia  is  demonstrated.  No  more  beautiful  and 
brilliant  sight  can  be  imagined  than  a  large  bed  of  Gaillardias, 
with  their  profusion  of  highly  colored  flowers  of  all  shades.

HELIANTHUS  (Hardy  Sunflower). 

The  perennial  Sunflower  should  always  be  planted  in  masses, 
where  they  may  have  plenty  of  room,  against  backgrounds  of 
shrubbery,  or  naturalized  in  wild  gardens  or  woodlands.  They 
produce  a  grand  effect  impossible  to  describe.  In  combination 
with  hardy  Asters,  where  broad  color  effects  are  wanted  in 
late  Summer,  they  have  few  equals.  They  are  profuse  bloomers, 
producing  an  unlimited  supply  of  flowers  for  decoration.

HOLLYHOCKS  -  Althea  Rosea 


The  Hollyhock  is  an  old  garden  favorite,  full  of  sentiment  and 
association  with  a  distant  past.  They  require  a  deep,  rich  soil 
and  a  sunny  corner,  but  will  repay  by  their  gorgeous  and  lavish 
bloom  all  the  attention  bestowed  upon  them.  Painters  choose 
Hollyhocks  as  subjects  for  floral  paintings  oftener  than  any 
other  flower.  We  suppose  the  reason  for  this  is  that  artists 
have  a  keener  appreciation  of  beauty  than  other  people,  and 
recognize  that  the  common  single  Hollyhock  is  one  of  the  most 
stately,  picturesque  and  beautiful  plants  in  the  world.  We 
know  of  patches  that  have  not  been  cultivated  or  disturbed  in 
any  way  for  twenty  years.  Some  people  think  double  Holly¬ 
hocks  are  more  beautiful  than  single.  They  are  mistaken,  al¬ 
though  the  doubles  are  beautiful,  but  the  singles  are  just  as 
handsome.  Hollyhocks  planted  in  the  Fall  will  bloom  the  fol¬ 
lowing  Summer.

or  leaves  after  the  ground  is  permanently  frozen  to  prevent

LEONTOPODIUM  (Edelweiss). 

Alpintun.  A  well  known  Alpine  with 
pretty  white  leaves  and  small  yellow 
flowers  which  are  surrounded  by  star- 
like  heads  of  leaves,  clothed  with  a 
dense  white,  woolly  substance.  A  splen¬ 
did  plant  for  the  rock  garden.  4  to  5 
inches.  June  to  August.  Supplied  in 

pots  only  .  1.00  3.00  20.00 


LIATRIS  (Blazing  Star  or  Gay  Feather). 


Pycnostachya.  The  popular  name  of  this 
plant  is  Kansas  Gay  Feather.  Nothing 
can  be  planted  that  will  attract  more 
attention  on  account  of  its  unusual  ap¬ 
pearance;  but  it  is  beautiful  as  well  as 
odd.  It  blooms  in  midsummer  and 
throws  up  long,  narrow  spikes  of  rich 
purple  flowers,  which  last  a  long  time. 
A  peculiarity  of  this  plant  is  its  great 

attraction  for  butterflies  . 

Splcata.  Similar  to  Pycnostachya,  some¬ 
what  earlier  in  bloom  and  not  quite  so 
tall .

Lilies 

Hardy  Garden  Varieties 


.  SO. 80  §3.00  $25.00 


There  is  a  notion  that  Lilies  are  “nard  to  grow.”  Some  of  the 
rarer  species  are,  it  is  true;  they  not  only  stubbornly  refuse  to 
make  themselves  at  home  in  the  garden,  unless  conditions  are 
precisely  to  their  liking,  but  some  of  them  cannot  endure  the 
northern  Winter  without  the  necessary  covering  of  litter,  which 
many  other  tender  plants  require.  Unless  one  goes  in  for  Lilies 
to  the  extent  of  making  a  hobby  of  them,  however,  these  can 
all  be  left  to  the  collector  and  there  will  be  quite  enough  species 
remaining  to  give  one  a  Lily  season  in  the  three  months  dur¬ 
ation  of  which  loveliness  follows  loveliness  with  breaks  of 
only  relatively  brief  length.  We  say  species  for  the  reason 
that  the  Lilies  in  cultivation  show  an  exceptionally  low  per¬ 
centage  of  horticultural  varieties.  Possibly  because  Nature 
made  every  species  perfect  to  begin  with,  the  hand  of  the 
hybridizer  has  been  loath  to  endeavor  to  “paint  the  Lily,”  as 
it  were. 

DELIVERY — This  depends  upon  the  arrival  of  the  bulbs  from 
our  foreign  sources.  Many  get  here  too  late  for  Autumn  plant¬ 
ing,  thus  necessitating  carrying  over  the  bulbs  until  Spring. 
Those  marked  (**)  should  be  planted  in  the  Pall  only;  those 
marked  (*)  may  be  planted  in  Spring  or  Fall,  preferably  the 
latter;  all  the  others  are  for  Spring  delivery.

Auratum  (Gold-Banded  Japan  Lily).

its  cultural  requirements  and  extremely 
handsome  in  flower;  does  well  in  light 
loam.  Plant  among  shrubs  and  low 
plants  to  protect  young  shoots,  this  be¬ 
ing  one  of  the  earliest  Lilies  to  appear 
in  the  Spring.  The  stem  reaches  a

Henryi.  A  new  Japanese  Lily  that  has 
made  a  sensation  in  Europe.  It  has  the 
same  form  and  appearance  as  the  specio-

stem,  with  whorls  of  leaves  at  regular 
intervals.  Numerous  drooping  flowers 
borne  in  loose,  triangular  clusters  of  bril¬ 
liant  golden  yellow,  spotted  with  purple 
on  the  reflexed  petals;  showy;  prefers 
deep,  peaty  soil,  but  will  grow  in  any 
well  drained  soil,  which  must  be  deep,  for 
the  roots  go  straight  down.  It  produces 
a  splendid  flowering  plant.  Height,  5 
feet.  Base-roots;  fall  planting;  4  inches 
deep;  June-July  flowering;  extra  strong 
bulbs  .  2.00 


Krameri.  Unique  for  its  color  and  grows

♦Regale  or  myriophyllum  (The  Regal  Lily). 
It  is  absolutely  hardy,  and  is  excellent 
for  forcing.  It  has  been  predicted  that 
this  will  become  the  Easter  Lily  of  the 
future,  and  being  so  hardy,  may  be 
grown  at  home.  The  flowers  are  white, 
slightly  suffused  with  pink,  with  a  beau¬ 
tiful  shade  of  canary-yellow  at  the  cen¬ 
ter,  and  extending  part  way  up  the 
trumpet.  It  is  delightfully  perfumed,  re¬ 
minding  one  of  the  Jasmine,  and  lack¬ 
ing  the  heavy,  oppressive  odor  of  most 
Lilies.  Blooms  out-of-doors  early  in  July.

PAPAVER  -  Poppy 

The  proper  planting  season  for  Oriental  Poppies  is  during  the 
last  of  August.  September  and  October.  Roots  planted  at  any 
other  time  we  do  not  guarantee  to  live. 

Oriental  Poppies  are  the  regal  representatives  of  this  popular 
genus,  growing  3  to  3%  feet  high,  and  far  surpassing  in  splen¬ 
dor  of  bloom  all  the  annual  and  biennial  kinds,  and  for  a 
gorgeous  display  of  rich  and  brilliant  coloring  nothing  equals 
them  during  their  period  of  flowering  in  May  and  June,  and 
whether  planted  singly  or  in  masses  their  large  flowers  and 
freedom  of  bloom  render  them  conspicuous  in  any  position. 
They  are  of  the  easiest  culture;  almost  any  kind  of  soil  suits 
them,  but  they  do  best  in  deep,  rich  loam.  ‘  Set  the  plants  out 
in  the  Fall  or  early  Spring  before  the  first  of  May — give  them 
water  occasionally  during  dry  spells  in  the  early  part  of  the 
season.  Mulch  with  stable  litter  in  the  Fall;  and  they  will 
increase  in  size  and  floriferousness  for  several  years.  We  offer 
the  best  of  the  latest  introductions,  as  well  as  the  distinct 
standard  varieties. 

Three  Doz.  100 

Orientale  (Oriental  Poppy).  Tremendous 
scarlet,  cup-shaped  blooms  of  brightest 
crimson-scarlet,  with  large,  purplish 
black  blotches  at  base  of  petals,  creat¬ 
ing  a  wonderful  contrast  when  bloom  is 
fully  open.  Clumps  of  these  throughout

of  Recent  Introduction  and  Unusual  Merit 


r^nunt  (Graf  Zeppelin).  Pure  white  flowers 

K-/U  ill  ll  'JJJJai  1 1  with  vermilion-red  eyes.  A  strikingly 
clean  looking  Phlox.  There  is  no  fading  or  suffusing  of  color.  It  is 
considered  the  best  of  the  so-called  calico  types.  It  is  very  free 
flowering,  and  a  good  grower.  The  plants  reach  a  height  of  about 
30  inches.  3  for  $1.20:  12  for  $3.50;  f00  for  $25.00. 


mY)  Brilliant,  cherry-red  is  a  correct  description  of  the 
UtXlCU/ 1  Color  of  this  kind.  Grows  36  inches  high.  The  flower 
heads  are  carried  on  straight,  strong  stems.  It  is  an  excellent  variety 
and  one  of  the  best  of  this  color.  3  for  65c;  12  for  $1.75:  100  for 

$12.00. 


'ThnY  *S'ot  a  new  sort  kut  a  variety  that  is  becoming  more 
±  I IU I  and  more  popular  because  of  its  splendid  free-flowering 
qualities.  The  color  is  a  beautiful  lively  shade  of  deep  salmon-pink, 
overlaid  with  a  scarlet  glow.  It  has  a  small  aniline-red  eye.  Being 
a  good  grower,  never  giving  any  trouble  and  always  full  of  bloom, 
we  consider  this  one  of  the  best  of  the  salmon-pink  sorts.  3  for  55c: 
12  for  $1.50;  100  for  $10.00. 


THE  type  we  are  herewith  offering  is 
known  as  the  Hardy  Border  Carna¬ 
tion,  or  the  “Grenadin  Carnation.” 
They  resemble  the  Pinks  but  produce 
flowers  on  long  stems  just  as  the  green¬ 
house  varieties  do.  Each  plant  will  pro¬ 
duce  from  ten  to  fifteen  flower  spikes  and 
each  spike  will  have  as  many  as  six  or 
eight  flowers. 

The  flowers  shown  in  this  illustration  are  on 
stems  which  have  been  disbudded;  removing 
all  buds  except  the  central  one  cm  top  of  the 


stem,  this  makes  for  large  show  flowers.  If  not 
disbudded  you  will  get  more  flowers  but  not 
so  large. 

Plants  should  be  transplanted  in  early  Spring 
and  prefer  a  sunny  position  in  well  drained 
ordinary  garden  soil.  When  plants  get  two  or 
three  years  old  it  is  best  to  cut  them  back 
immediately  after  they  have  flowered,  cutting 
back  improves  the  appearance  of  the  plants. 
We  prefer  to  offer  them  in  a  mixture  only  in 
all  shades  of  red  and  pink  with  occasional  white 
and  yellow.  Sometimes  a  single  flowered  plant 
appears  but  these  are  as  handsome  as  the 
doubles.

named  kinds  in  creation.  Visitors  at  our  nursery  pro¬

Lilium  Regale  or  M yriophyllum,  the  Queen  of  Lilies 


GROWING  anywhere  under  almost  any 
condition,  establishing  itself  without  any 
trouble  or  effort  on  your  part,  it  is  in  our 
mind  the  easiest,  and  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
and  hardiest  Lilies  in  cultivation.  Lilium  Re¬ 
gale  is  truly  a  royal  Lily,  worthy  of  a  place  in 
every  garden.  A  vigorous  grower  with  sturdy 
stems;  4  to  5  feet  high,  densely  covered  with 
lcmg,  lanceolate  foliage.  Center  of  flower 
flushed  with  yellow,  shading  to  white  at  the 
outer  edges;  externally  the  flowers  are  streaked 
with  brown,  shaded  through  the  almost  trans¬ 
lucent  petals  with  a  delightful  pearly  tint;  the 
contrast  between  the  rich  color  of  the  reverse 
of  the  petals  and  the  gold  shading  of  the  throat 
is  extraordinarily  beautiful.  Thrives  in  any 
good  rich  soil  and  is  the  easiest  of  all  Lilies 


to  grow.  Stem-roots;  plant  Fall  or  early  Spring, 
about  5  inches  deep.  July  flowering.  In  order 
to  bring  this  unusually  handsome  Lily  into  the 
hands  of  every  flower  lover  and  gardener  we 
offer  it  in  three  sizes,  the  smallest  of  which  will 
produce  3  to  4  good  flowers,  not  as  many  on 
one  stem  as  is  shown  in  the  illustration  which 
is  a  spike  produced  by  a  7-  to  8-inch  bulb.  (Our 
stock  is  the  largest  in  cultivation  in  America).

New  Japanese  Peonies 

A  type  not  very  generally  known,  but  in  every  community, 
wherever  established,  is  awakening  great  interest  and  en¬ 
thusiasm.  The  opened  flowers  are  of  extra  wide  spread,  with 
one  or  more  layers  of  broad  guard  petals  which  act  as  a  cup 
to  the  mounded  center.  In  place  of  the  pollen-bearing  stamens 
which  center  the  Single  Peony  flowers,  in  this  class  the  stamens 
and  anthers  are  greatly  enlarged  into  narrow,  thick,  twisted 
petaloids  of  various  colors,  forming  a  dense  cushion. 

We  heartily  recommend  our  list  to  those  who  want  something 
different  from  the  other  fellow’s:  and  to  Peony  planters  gen¬ 
erally,  as  types  which  will  add  zest  and  beauty  to  their  gardens.

its  stars  when  the  late  doubles  usher  in  the  end  Blooms

with  dark  leaves,  and  long,  rigid  stems.  Flowers  are

PHLOX 

PHLOX  DECUSSATA  (Hardy  Phlox). 

These  beautiful  hardy  border  plants  are  among  the  most  effect¬ 
ive  things  in  the  garden  during  the  late  Summer  and  Fall 
months.  The  varieties  have  been  much  improved  during  the 
past  few  years,  both  as  to  color  and  size  of  bloom.  To  be  at 
their  best,  they  require  soil  which  has  been  deeply  enriched 
and  plenty  of  water  during  the  blooming  period.  It  is  also  well 
to  remember  that  they  should  never  be  allowed  to  go  to  seed 
and  should  be  divided  every  four  years,  or  they  will  become 
small  and  in  not  a  few  cases,  change  their  color.  If  attacked 
by  red  spider,  spray  with  lime  and  sulphur. 

We  have  tried  to  confine  our  list  to  the  very  best  of  the  numer¬ 
ous  varieties  offered  and  can  safely  say  there  is  not  a  poor 
variety  in  the  lot. 


IMPORTANT 

As  fast  as  new  and  improved  Phlox  are  put  on  the  market, 
we  discontinue  the  older  varieties  of  no  particular  merit, 
thereby  keeping  our  list  up-to-date  and  not  filled  with  useless 
sorts.  Some  of  these  old-fashioned  sorts  we  still  mention  in 
our  list,  but  have  followed  the  names  with  the  names  of  va¬ 
rieties  which  have  replaced  them.  Good  old  varieties  with 
outstanding  qualities,  have,  of  course,  been  retained. 


Three 

Atius.  '  Discontinued  .  Replaced  by  Thor. 
Antonin  Mercie,  A  delicate  lilac-blue:  free- 
flowering  variety  of  medium  height,  and 
fairly  free  from  red  spider.  During  pro¬ 
longed  hot  weather  the  color  fades  to  a 
very  pale  lilac;  in  light  shade,  however, 
the  coloring  is  constant.  This  and 
Maid  Marion  are  the  best  of  the  lilac-s.  .§*>..5 
B.  Comte,  Tall  growing  variety  produc¬ 
ing  large  heads  of  rich  satiny  amaranth 
flowers.  A  very  brilliant  Phlox.  Looks 
well  planted  close  to  a  yellow-flowered 

plant  . .5 

Beacon,  Brilliant  cherry-red.  Grows  36 
inches  high.  The  flower  heads  are  carried 
on  straight,  strong  stems.  An  excellent 
variety  and  one  of  the  best  ox  this  color.  .65 
Commander  •  Von  Hindenburg  .  The  color 
is  a  brilliant  deep  crimson-red  with 
slightly  darker  eye.  Grows  about  24  to 
30  inches  high  and  produces  a  great 
many  spikes  creating  a  wonderful  dis¬ 
play  of  color.  This  variety  is  compara¬ 
tively  new  but  already  a  great  favorite.  1.00 
Champs  Elysee.  -Discontinued.  Replaced 
by  B.  Comte. 

Count  Zeppelin  -  Graf  Zeppelin! .  Pure 
white  flowers  with  vermilion-red  eye.  A 
strikingly  clean  looking  Phlox.  There 
is  no  fading  or  suffusing  of  color.  Con¬ 
sidered  the  best  of  the  so-c-aled  calico 
types.  Very  free-flowering,  and  a  good 
grower.  The  plants  reach  a  height  of 

about  30  inches  .  1.20 

Elizabeth  Campbell,  Light  salmon-pink 
with  lighter  shadings  toward  the  cen¬ 
ter  of  flower.  Decidedly  the  finest  Phlox 
of  this  color,  but  unfortunately,  a  weak 
variety  and  slow  grower,  requiring  more 
:&re  ar  i  *.  \  -  ' .  than  most  varieties.  L  V 
Ethel  Pritchard,  A  delightfully  French- 
mauve  colored  Phlox,  which  if  seen  on 
a  cloudy  day,  looks  almost  as  pale  blue 
as  our  native  Phlox  Divaricata.  It  is  a 
strong  grower:  flowers  freely,  and  should 
be  planted  with  white  or  yellow  flowers 
to  look  its  best.  Fairly  tall  grower  .  .  1.00

Replaced  by  Antonin  Mercie. 

Europa.  White  changing  to  a  pale  blush 
white  toward  center  with  a  red  eye. 

This  variety  is  similar  to  Count  Zeppelin 
but  has  a  light  pinkish  cast  to  it.  Pro¬ 
duces  large  heads  freely  and  is  a  good, 

strong  grower  of  medium  height . 

Fiancee.  Discontinued).  Replaced  by 
Mia  Ruys. 

Frau  Anton  Buchner.  ( Discontinued).  Re¬ 
placed  by  Von  Lassburg. 

Fuerbrand  fFireglow).  Brilliant  orange- 
scarlet,  sometimes  almost  vermilion. 
Flowers  very  freely  and  blooms  are 
produced  in  quantity  throughout  the 
entire  season.  Of  medium  height,  and 
one  of  the  most  brilliant  Phlox  known.  1.20 
Independence,  (See  Mrs.  Jenkins). 

Jules  Sandeau.  Rather  dwarf  in  habit,  but 
producing  very  large  heads  of  brilliant 
watermelon-pink  blossoms.  An  out¬ 
standing  variety  because  it  flowers  more 
freely  and  longer  than  most  Phlox,  and 
is  practically  free  from  the  attack  of 
red  spider.  We  consider  it  the  best  of 
this  color  . 55

Jeanne  d’Arc.  (Discontinued).  Too  much 
like  Mrs.  Jenkins,  which  is  superior. 

La  Vague.  Warm  mauve-pink  with  red 
eye.  This  Phlox  does  not  look  nor  create 


the  effect  that  the  so-called  wild  or  pur¬ 
ple  Phlox  does.  The  flower  heads  are 
conical  and  large,  and  borne  in  great  pro¬ 
fusion.  Looks  well  with  deep  purple  and 

pale  yellow  flowers  . 

Louis  Abbema.  (Discontinued).  Replaced 
by  Mia  Ruys. 

Lord  Raleigh.  Dark  mauve  with  decidedly 
purplish  tint.  A  very  unusual  variety. 
Free-flowering  and  rather  tall.  Excel¬ 
lent  with  yellow  and  white.  A  variety 
often  mentioned  by  Mrs.  Francis  King. 
Marie’s  Jacob.  (Discontinued).  Color  not 
strong  enough.  Use  Maid  Marion. 

Maid  Marion..  Good  lilac  flower  heads.  Not 
a  new  variety  but  an  excellent  kind  that 
will  be  with  us  a  long  time.  The  color 
and  habit  are  very  similar  to  that  of 
Antonin  Mercie  but  grows  a  little  taller 

when  well  established  . 

Mia  Ruys.  Rather  dwarf  in  habit,  but  pro¬ 
duces  enormous  and  much  branched 
trusses  of  the  purest  white  flowers  pos¬ 
sible.  The  habit  is  very  free,  with  splen¬ 
did  dark  green  foliage.  A  great  improve¬ 
ment  and  the  best  white  Phlox  in  culti¬ 
vation  for  midseason  effects  . 

Miss  Lingard.  This  variety  is  not  a 
Decussata  type  like  all  the  others  in  the 
list,  but  a  Suffruticosa.  The  distinguish¬ 
ing  marks  are  that  it  flowers  a  month 
earlier  than  the  Decussata  sorts.  Has 
beautiful,  long  shiny  green  foliage,  and 
absolutely  free  from  any  disease.  There¬ 
fore,  Miss  Lingard  is  one  of  the  finest 
Phlox.  It  flowers  from  early  June  until 
October  with  large  heads  of  white  flow¬ 
ers  with  faint  pink  shadings  in  center. 
It  is  the  best  early  white  Phlox  known. 
Mrs.  Jenkins  (Independence).  Pure  white, 
late  flowering,  grows  very  fast  and  is  of 
medium  height.  A  splendid  sort  for 
planting  in  masses.  Few  varieties  equal 
its  free-flowering  habit.  Free  from  any 
disease  and  can  always  be  depended  on. 

An  old  sort  but  worth  while . 

Mrs.  Milly  Van  Hoboken.  An  excellent  new 
variety.  Very  large  florets  combined  in 
rather  loose,  large  heads.  Color  bright 
pink  with  a  slight  and  delicate  mauve 
suffusion.  Strong  grower  and  free-flow¬ 
ering.  The  general  color  effect,  at  a  dis¬ 
tance,  is  a  fine  bright  pink  . 

Mrs.  Scbolten.  New  dark  salmon-pink 
flowers  in  enormous  pyramidal  spikes. 
A  splendid  sort  of  great  value.  Mid- 
season  flowering  and  of  medium  height.

Rijnstroom.  A  good  strong  grower  pro¬ 
ducing  an  abundance  of  stems,  each  one 
topped  with  heavy  trusses  of  flowers  of 
a  lively  rose-pink,  much  like  the  color 

of  the  Paul  Neyron  rose  . 

Thor.  Not  a  new  sort  but  becoming  more 
and  more  popular  because  of  its  splendid 
free-flowering  qualities.  Color  a  beautiful 
shade  of  deep  salmon-pink,  overlaid  with 
a  scarlet  glow.  It  has  a  small  aniline- 
red  eye.  Being  a  good  grower,  never 
giving  any  trouble  and  always  full  of 
bloom,  we  consider  this  one  of  the  best 

of  the  salmon-pink  sorts  . 

Von  Lassburg.  A  splendid  midseason,  tall, 
white  variety.  Trusses  are  large  and 
stems  are  good,  very  free  flowering. 
Rather  tall  and  fine  for  the  back  of  the 
border  .

PYRETHRUM  (Persian  or  Painted  Daisy). 

The  Pyrethrums  are  so  easily  cultivated  that  they  may  be  rec¬

hardy  and  absolutely  invaluable  for  cut  flowers  through  the 
Summer  and  early  Fall.  In  form,  the  double  varieties  are  some¬ 
what  chrysanthemum-like,  and  as  their  chief  beauty  is  in  the 
months  of  May  and  June,  they  may  well  be  designated  Spring 
Chrysanthemums.  The  single-flowered  varieties  are  variable 
colored  Marguerites  and  possess  a  range  of  color  Marguerites 
might  envy  in  vain.  Nothing  can  surpass  the  Pyrethrum  in  pro¬ 
fusion  of  flowers  throughout  May  to  July,  and  the  blossoms  are 
not  injured  by  storm  or  sun.  As  a  cut  flower,  their  long  stems 
make  them  ideal  for  decorative  purposes.  Their  position  should 
be  in  the  border  or  in  beds,  in  full  sun.  Transplant  in  August.

This  is  the  best  edging  plant  for  the  hardy  border  or  garden; 
when  properly  cared  for,  these  plants  remain  in  full  bloom 
from  May  until  October.  The  great  secret  of  their  continuous 
bloom,  though,  is  the  fact  that  they  must  be  sheared  several 
times  during  the  season,  so  that  the  flowers  do  not  go  to  seed.

Hardy  Water-lilies 

The  culture  of  Water-lilies  is  so  simple  that  it  almost  be 

said  that  “they  just  grow  themselves.”  Their  modest  requirements 
are  sun,  water  and  rich  soil.  In  deciding  on  a  place  for  a  natural 
water  garden,  one  is  naturally  led  to  select  a  low  spot.  A  stream 
of  water  running  through  this  or  near  it  can  easily  be  dammed 
or  diverted  so  as  to  form  a  pond.  The  digging  up  and  grading  of 
the  ground  to  be  flooded  is  the  first  consideration.  Of  course,  it 
is  not  possible  for  everyone  to  have  such  a  location,  but  almost 
everybody  can  have  built  or  can  themselves  construct  an  artificial 
pool.  In  this  event,  any  location  that  is  available  would  be  satis¬ 
factory,  provided  it  is  exposed  to  the  full  sun.  Rather  than  have 
no  water  garden  at  all,  the  interested  party  can  grow  many  of  the 
varieties  in  tubs  or  half-barrels  sunk  in  the  ground.  The  selec¬ 
tion  of  Lilies  suitable  for  tub  culture  is  easily  made,  as  the  va¬ 
rieties  suited  for  this  purpose  are  indicated  in  the  catalog. 

Soil.  The  matter  of  getting  the  soil  ready  for  the  growing  of 
aquatic  plants  is  important.  In  preparing  a  piece  of  ground  about 
to  be  flooded,  it  is  well  to  dig  into  the  soil  a  generous  amount  of 
thoroughly  rotted  manure,  with  the  addition  of  a  small  amount 
of  bone  meal.  An  excellent  soil  for  use  in  tubs  or  artificial  pools 
is  made  by  mixing  three  parts  of  rotted  sod,  compost,  or  good 
top  soil  with  one  part  of  cow  manure  or  good  barnyard  manure. 
All  manure  used  must  be  thoroughly  decomposed,  to  prevent  fer¬ 
mentation  when  covered  with  water.  Ground  bone  or  bone  meal 
may  be  used  if  necessary,  at  the  rate  of  one  quart  to  one  bushel 
of  soil. 

Size  of  Pool.  The  larger  the  water  surface  the  better  the  results. 
A  tub  or  half-barrel  2  feet  in  diameter  will  furnish  a  miniature 
pool.  An  artificial  pool  should  be  made  as  large  as  possible,  and 
2  feet  deep.  Where  clay  is  very  abundant,  it  is  quite  possible  to 
line  an  excavation  with  this  in  such  a  manner  as  to  have  it  water¬ 
tight.  Make  an  artificial  pool  as  natural  as  possible  and  avoid 
stern  lines  and  too  apparent  masonry.  A  generous  planting  of 
moisture-loving  plants  around  the  edge  of  the  pool  or  pond  will 
furnish  an  added  charm  to  the  plants  in  the  pool  itself.  Such 
plants  as  are  suitable  for  this  purpose  are  listed  in  this  catalog. 
Water.  One  foot  of  water  over  the  soil  is  the  most  desirable 
depth  in  artificial  pools.  Some  will  thrive  in  shallower  water,  but 
few  will  stand  a  depth  exceeding  2  or  3  feet.  A  continuous  flow 
of  water  tends  to  keep  the  temperature  in  the  pool  low  and  must 
be  avoided.  After  the  pool  is  once  filled  it  is  only  necessary  to 
replenish  that  which  evaporates. 

Each 

Aurora.  Changing  hues  in  the  blooms  of  this  plant  make  it 
exceedingly  interesting.  When  the  flowers  first  open  they 
are  a  creamy  yellow  tinted  with  rose,  which  gradually 
changes  to  a  dark  red  by  the  third  day.  A  small  plant, 

suitable  for  tub  culture  . $2.00 

Comanche.  The  largest  and  finest  of  the  apricot  tints.  The 
flowers  have  a  wonderful  combination  of  orange  and  glow¬ 
ing  amber-red.  A  strong  grower  and  the  earliest  and  most 

continuous  bloomer  in  the  hardy  class  .  7.50 

Eugenia  de  Land.  Flowers  of  deep  rose-pink  with  long, 
narrow  petals  and  yellow  stamens,  borne  upon  the  surface 
of  the  water.  The  plants  are  strong  growers  and  will 
produce  flowers  freely.  This  is  easily  the  best  of  the 


N.  odorata  type  .  1.50 

Gladstonana.  Flowers  of  large  size,  usually  6  to  8  inches  in 
diameter,  pure  white  in  color;  stamens  are  yellow  and  form 
a  pleasing  contrast  with  the  petals.  Plant  requires  a  good 
deal  of  space  as  it  is  a  very  strong  grower  .  1.50 


Gloriosa.  This  can  well  be  called  the  most  satisfactory  Water 
Lily.  It  is  the  earliest  to  bloom  and  continues  to  flower 
until  late  Summer,  producing  more  blossoms  than  any 
other  sort.  In  the  Spring  the  flower  is  a  bright  carmine 
which  becomes  darker  as  the  season  lengthens.  The  blooms 
are  perfect  in  form  and  4  to  6  inches  across.  This  variety 
is  one  of  the  finest  for  cutting  and  has  so  much  to  recom¬ 
mend  it  that  we  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  it  should  be 


the  first  Nymphaea  chosen  for  any  pool  .  5.00 

Hopatcong.  Well  known  in  southeastern  United  States, 
where  it  grows  naturally  in  ponds.  Flowers  are  pure 
white,  quite  large  in  size,  generally  5  to  7  inches  across. 

Produces  blooms  very  freely  . 50 

Marliacea  chromatella.  Medium  sized  flowers,  usually  4  to  6 
inches  across.  Color  of  the  bloom  is  bright  yellow,  with 
stamens  somewhat  deeper  in  color.  The  leaves  are  green, 

mottled  with  brown  .  1.50 

Morning  Glory.  The  fragrance  of  the  blooms,  added  to  the 
beautiful  pale  pink  of  the  flowers,  makes  this  one  of  the 
most  attractive  hardy  Nymphaeas.  It  produces  flowers  al¬ 
most  continuously  .  4.00 

Pink  Opal.  A  new  variety  which  has  been  cultivated  for  two 
or  three  seasons,  yet  has  proved  its  value.  The  color  is  a 
deep  pink.  The  buds  are  almost  round,  opening  into  a 
flower  with  comparatively  short  petals,  but  because  of  its 

substance  it  has  a  distinct  value  for  cutting .  2.00 

Rose  Arey.  A  wonderful  variety  of  the  Odorata  type;  very 
free-flowering,  and  strong  growing.  The  flowers  are  very 
large  (last  year  we  had  flowers  8  inches  across),  and  are 
sweetly  scented.  The  color  is  clear  cerise-pink  and  does 
not  lighter,  toward  the  center  of  the  flower.  Awarded  a 

Silver  Medal  by  the  New  York  Horticultural  Society  .  2.50 

Rose  Magnolia.  The  blooms  are  borne  well  out  of  the  water, 
which  make  them  desirable  for  cutting.  They  are  usually 
4  to  5  inches  across  and  of  a  delightful  shade  of  pink.

requires  Winter  protection  where  it  is  exposed  to  chilly  winds 
on  open  walls.  It  can,  however,  be  planted  with  perfect  safety 
as  a  ground  cover  or  as  an  edging  to  flower  beds.

The  Heaths  are  compact,  low-growing  plants,  and  as  such  are 
extremely  useful  for  rockeries.  The  small  foliage  is  densely 
arranged  around  the  wiry  little  stems,  and  either  when  in  full

Brief  Suggestions  for 
Planting  Roses 

UPON  the  arrival  of  the  plants,  open  the  bundle  in  a  sheltered 
place  and  soak  them  thoroughly,  or  immerse  the  plants  in  a 
pail  or  tub  of  water  for  a  few  hours.  After  removing  them 
from  the  water,  cut  away  broken  or  damaged  roots.  Take  care  not 
to  expose  the  roots  to  sun  and  wind. 

The  ground  should  be  thoroughly  prepared,  breaking  the  subsoil. 
To  do  this,  it  is  necessary  to  dig  15  to  18  inches  deep  and  to  mix  a 
liberal  supply  of  well-rotted  manure  or  other  fertilizer  with  the  soil. 
A  little  air-slaked  lime  will  help  sweeten  it. 

Dig  a  hole  large  enough  to  accommodate  the  roots  and  spread  them 
on  the  bottom  of  the  hole,  in  the  same  position  as  you  would  place 
your  hand  on  a  flat  surface.  When  filling  it,  lift  and  shake  the  plant 
lightly  in  order  that  the  soil  may  sift  between  the  roots,  and  after  this 
operation,  firm  with  the  hands  and  feet.  Be  sure  that  the  lower  parts 
of  the  lower  branches  are  at  least  2  inches  below  the  surface  of  the  soil. 
(Picture  No.  1.)  Do  not  plant  on  a  mound,  the  surface  should  be 
level,  or  a  slight  depression  left  around  the  plant.  Cut  back  the 
branches  within  2  to  4  inches  of  the  surface  of  the  ground,  leaving 
the  stronger  branches  4  inches  high  above  the  soil.  (Pictures  2  and  3). 

In  cultivating  Roses,  the  soil  cannot  be  kept  too  tight  at  the  roots 
and  too  loose  on  the  surface  during  the  growing  season. 

The  branches  of  Climbing  Roses  should  be  cut  back  to  18  to  24 
inches.  A  few  flowers  will  develop  the  first  year,  by  using  this  idea, 
although  our  method  is  to  cut  back  the  Climbers,  when  they  are  being 
transplanted  in  our  Nursery,  to  within  2  to  4  inches  of  the"  main  stem 
of  the  plant.  Climbing  Roses  pruned  this  way  will  eventuallv  give 
most  satisfactory  results. 

In  Fall,  just  before  cold  weather  sets  in  and  frost  enters  the  ground, 
mound  the  soil  around  the  branches  of  the  plant  at  least  10  inches  high, 
and  cover  with  a  little  straw  or  some  other  loose  litter.  This  will 

prevent  the  wind  and  sun  from  dry¬ 
ing  the  branches  during  the  Winter.

Miss  Lolita  Armour  Howard  &  Smith,1920>. 

The  coloring  of  this  variety  is  difficult  to 
describe,  and  is  absolutely  distinct.  The 
flowers  are  of  large  size,  full  double,  with 
petals  of  great  substance  and  delightfully 
fragrant.  As  the  flowers  expand  they  de¬ 
velop  to  a  deep  coral-red  with  a  golden, 
coppery  red  suffusion,  the  base  of  the 
petals  a  rich  golden  yellow  with  coppery 
red  sheen.  The  plant  is  a  strong,  vigorous 
grower,  and  very  free  flowering.  At  the 
great  Bagatelle  Gardens  in  Paris,  France, 
this  was  singled  out  in  1921  for  the  high¬ 
est  prize,  a  Gold  Medal,  while  at  the  Test 
Garden  of  the  American  Rose  Society  at

BABY  RAMBLER  ROSES 


A  type  of  Roses  which  is  deservedly  very  popular  for  bedding  purposes.  They  form  shapely,  compact,  bushy  speci¬ 
mens,  most  of  them  growing  about  18  inches  high,  producing  in  great  profusion,  from  early  in  the  season  until  severe 
frost,  immense  trusses  of  small  flowers.  Pruning  is  not  necessary;  simply  remove  the  past  season’s  flower  stems.

HYBRID  PERPETUAL 
ROSES 


The  varieties  listed  below  are  unquestionably  the  best  that  can 
be  selected  in  the  Hybrid  Perpetual  class,  which,  before  the  de¬ 
velopment  of  the  Hybrid  Teas,  was  the  most  popular  type  for 
garden  planting,  and  even  now  they  dare  not  be  overlooked,  but 
should  be  used  extensively  in  conjunction  with  the  other  sorts, 
and  especially  so  in  localities  where  the  hardiness  of  the  Hybrid 
Tea  varieties  has  not  been  established.  The  collection  here 
offered  embraces  as  complete  a  range  of  colors  as  it  is  possible 
to  bring  together  in  such  a  number  of  plants,  with  freedom  of 
flowering,  perfect  form,  fragrance,  hardiness  and  general  ex¬ 
cellence.

George  Arends  or  Fink  Frau  Karl  Droschki. 

This  is  a  pink,  or  rather  a  tender  rose 
colored  form  of  the  popular  white  Frau 
Karl  Druschki.  possessing  not  only  the 
exquisite  form,  large  size,  and  remarkable 
free-flowering  habits  of  its  parent,  but  in 
addition  to  this,  it  is  also  highly  per¬ 
fumed;  a  Rose  worthy  of  a  place  in  every 

garden  . 

Mrs.  John  Laing.  Soft  pink,  of  beautiful 
form;  exceedingly  fragrant  and  remark¬ 
ably  free  flowering;  always  does  well  and

THREE  NEW  ROSES 

MARY  WALLACE 

Originated  at  the  Maryland  Station  of  the  Department  of  Agri¬ 
culture  by  the  late  lamented  Dr.  W.  Van  Fleet.  The  Department 
describes  it  as  a  pillar  Rose,  making  a  fine,  strong,  self-support¬ 
ing  plant  6  to  8  feet  high,  with  large,  glossy  foliage,  blooming 
with  great  freedom  in  Spring  and  bearing  a  considerable  number 
of  fine  buds  in  Summer  and  Fall.  Flowers  very  large,  generally 
exceeding  4  inches  across;  well  formed,  semi-double,  of  a  bright, 
clear  rose-pink  with  salmon  base  to  the  petals.  70c  each;  S8.0O 
per  doz.;  S60.Q0  per  100. 

ROSA  HUGONIS 

This  species,  recently  introduced  from  China,  is  unlike  any  other 
Rose.  It  is  of  shrublike  habit  of  growth  and  naturally’  forms 
symmetrical  bushes  about  6  feet  high,  and  the  same  in  diameter, 
and  while  not  suited  to  plant  in  the  Rose  border,  it  is  an  in¬ 
valuable  subject  when  planted  in  connection  with  other  shrubs 
or  as  single  specimens  in  the  garden. 

Its  delicate  yellow  single  flowers  are  produced  on  long,  arching 
sprays  early  in  May,  every  branch  of  the  previous  seasons  growth 
becomes  lined  on  both  sides  to  the  very  tips  with  these  attract¬ 
ive  flowers,  and  after  it  has  finished  flowering  it  remains  an  at¬ 
tractive  decorative  bush  for  the  balance  of  the  season;  perfectly 
hardy.  Strong.  2-year-old  plants.  75c  each;  S8,00  per  doz.;

NEW  HYBRID  RUGOSA  ROSE 
F.  J.  GROOTENDORST 

This  is  a  new  type  of  Rose,  which  might  properly  be  called  a 
Rugosa  Baby  Rambler,  being  a  cross  between  Rugosa  and  the 
crimson  Baby  Rambler.  Imagine  a  shrublike  Rugosa  Rose  cov¬ 
ered  with  trusses  of  crimson  Baby  Rambler  Roses  and  you  will 
have  a  fair  conception  of  this  new  hybrid  variety.  It  is  not  a 
Rose  that  you  want  to  plant  in  with  your  bed  of  Hybrid  Tea  and 
Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses,  but  is  valuable  to  plant  as  an  isolated 
specimen  or  in  a  mass  in  a  bed  in  an  exposed  position  or  among 
shrubs  in  the  shrubbery  border  or  use  it  for  an  everblooming 
hedge  for  which  purpose  it  is  admirably  adapted.  It  is  apso- 
lutely  hardy  and  continues  in  bloom  until  late  in  the  Fall.  Strong, 
2-year-old  plants.  70c  each;  S8.0O  per  doz.;  S60.00  per  100.

Hardy  Climbing  and 
Rambler  Roses 

Climbing  Roses  require  no  pruning  in  the  Spring  beyond  the 
cutting  out  of  very  old  or  dead  wood,  and  the  shortening  of  the 
laterals  and  long  canes  to  make  the  growth  conform  to  the  space 
to  be  covered;  but  a  severe  pruning  in  July,  directly  after  they 
have  finished  flowering,  is  beneficial.  Cutting  away  at  that  time 
all  old  flowering  wood  will  encourage  a  vigorous  growth,  which 
will  give  an  abundance  of  flowers  the  following  season. 

We  offer  on  this  page  a  selection  of  twelve  of  the  most  modern 
Hardy  Climbing  and  Rambler  Roses. 


American  Pillar.  A  single-flowering  variety  of  great  beauty.  The 
flowers  are  of  large  size,  3  to  4  inches  across,  of  a  lovely  shade 
of  pink,  with  a  clear  white  eye  and  cluster  of  yellow  stamens. 
These  flowers  are  borne  in  immense  bunches,  and  a  large  plant 
in  full  bloom  is  a  sight  not  easily  forgotten.  60c  each;  $7.00 
per  doz. ;  $50.00  per  100. 


Climbing  American  Beauty.  Its  name  is  somewhat  misleading, 
but  it  is  one  of  the  best  climbing  Roses.  A  strong,  healthy, 
vigorous  grower,  frequently  making  shoots  from  10  to  12  feet 
long,  and  good  sized  flowers  for  a  climbing  Rose  that  blooms 
so  freely.  Color  a  pleasing  rose-pink;  of  splendid  form;  good 
substance.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Dorothy  Perkins.  Soft  shell-pink;  flowering  profusely  in  large 
clusters.  Very  fragrant  and  lasting.  A  grand  Rose  in  every 

way.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Dr.  Van  Fleet.  A  Rose,  which  on  account  of  its  dainty  color  and 
exquisitely  shaped  buds  and  flowers,  appeals  to  everyone.  The 
long,  pointed  buds  are  of  a  rich  flesli-pink  on  stems  12  to  18 
inches  long.  Splendid  for  cutting.  75c  each;  $9.00  per  doz.; 
$60.00  per  100. 


Bxcelsa.  (H.W.).  This  sort  is  also  known  as  “Red  Dorothy 
Perkins,”  and  carries  the  glossy,  varnished  appearance  of  foli¬ 
age  shown  by  that  sort,  assuring  a  constant  shade  all  Summer 
wherever  used.  The  flowers  of  scarlet-crimson  are  borne  in 
large  trusses,  are  very  double  and  large,  and  are  produced  with 
the  greatest  profusion.  It  is  the  most  valuable  sort  of  its 
type.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


White  Dorothy  Perkins.  (H.  W.).  A  pure  white  climber,  iden¬ 
tical  with  Dorothy  Perkins  except  the  color.  Without  doubt 
the  best  white  climber.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Plower  of  Fairfield.  (Cl.  P.).  Also  called  the  “Everblooming 
Crimson  Rambler.”  Combines  the  beauty  of  the  well  known 
Crimson  Rambler  with  a  continuous  blooming  habit,  the  new 
growth  bearing  large  clusters  of  crimson  blooms  through  the 
Summer  continuously.  Be  sure  to  include  this  sort  in  your 
selection.  60c  each;  $77.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Hiawatha.  Small  flowers;  deep  ruby-crimson,  accentuated  by  a 
white  eye.  uniquely  borne  in  long  trails  of  40  to  60  blooms. 

60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Paul’s  Scarlet  Climber.  No  other  Rose,  in  any  class,  can  com¬ 
pare  with  it  for  brilliancy  of  color,  which  is  a  vivid  scarlet. 
Flowers  are  semi-double,  very  freely  produced  in  clusters  or 
from  3  to  20  flowers  each  on  much  branched  canes.  It  is  of 
strong  climbing  habit  and  perfectly  hardy.  One  of  the  most 
popular  climbing  Roses.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Boserle.  Of  same  habit  of  growth  and  flowering  as  Tausend- 
schoen,  but  of  a  deeper  and  more  even  shade  of  cerise-pink  or 
carmine;  a  strong,  vigorous  grower  and  free  bloomer.  60c  each; 
$7.00  per  doz.;  $50.00  per  100. 


Silver  Moon.  Different  from  all  other  Roses,  with  beautiful  semi¬ 
double  flowers,  4%  inches  and  over  in  diameter;  pure  white  in 
color;  petals  of  great  substance,  beautifully  cupped,  forming  a 
Clematis-like  flower.  The  large  bunch  of  yellow  stamens  in  the 
center  adds  to  its  attractiveness.  60c  each;  $7.00  per  doz.; 
$50.00  per  100. 


Star  of  Persia.  A  brilliant  new  Rose  with  flowers  on  the  order  of 
the  lovely  old  Harrison’s  Yellow;  semi-double,  bright  yellow, 
and  about  3  inches  across.  It  makes  a  striking  low  climber  or 
pillar  Rose  from  8  to  10  feet  high,  bursting  into  showers  of 
sparkling  bloom  in  June.  It  does  not  fade  and  the  flower  trusses 
last  several  weeks.  $1.50  each.

Amaryllis  Hippeastrum 

(Tender — Indoor  Only) 

Giant  American  Hybrid.  There  is  nothing  that  will  give  the 
amateur  greater  pleasure  for  the  window  garden  than  these 
giant-flowering  Amaryllis  that  are  so  easily  managed.  The 
strain  we  offer  is  the  finest  that  has  ever  been  produced  In 
this  country;  strong  bulbs  throwing  vigorous  stems  with  from 
four  to  six  gigantic  blooms  of  the  most  perfect  form,  ranging 
in  color  from  pure  white  grounds  with  varied  markings  of 
rose,  red  and  crimson  to  the  richest  self-colors  as  scarlet, 
crimson,  bright  red,  cherry,  and  almost  maroon.  We  can  sup¬ 
ply  in  mixture  only.  Large,  strong  bulbs.  60c  each;  S7.00  per 
12 ;  S50.00  per  100. 

Begonias,  Tuberous-Rooted 

This  charming  class  of  Begonias  is  perhaps  the  handsomest  of 
all  Summer-flowering,  tuberous-rooted  plants,  and  deserves  even 
greater  popularity.  Particularly  useful  for  planting  in  porch  or 
window  boxes  in  a  semi-shady  position.  Their  culture  is  of  the 
simplest,  and  with  the  least  regard  for  their  requirements  they 
will  repay  with  an  abundance  and  brilliancy  of  bloom  not 
equalled  by  any  other  class  of  plants.

Primulinus  Hybrid  Gladiolus 


The  original  of  this  type,  introduced  from  South  Africa,  has  been 
wonderfully  improved  in  the  last  few  years  by  crossing  with 
choice  garden  varieties;  they  are  quite  distinct  from  the  usual 
run  of  Gladioli,  being  of  more  slender  growth,  the  orchid-like 
flowers  set  airily  on  the  slender,  yet  strong  spikes:  the  range 
of  colors  is  brilliant  and  beautiful  and  planted  in  fair  sized 
groups  in  the  garden  make  a  very  showy  display,  but  it  is  as 
cut  flowers  that  their  grace  and  wonderful  coloring  show  to 
best  advantage.  We  offer  six  choice  named  sorts  as  follows:

Montbretia. 


Zephyranthes  Rosea. 


Montbretia  -  Tritonia 


Montbretias  are  graceful  flowers  of  the  mid-summer  and  Au¬ 
tumn,  reflecting  the  colors  of  the  Autumn  and  lending  a  charm¬ 
ing  gaiety  and  lightness  to  the  borders. 

For  the  best  effect  the  small  bulbs  should  be  set  only  a  few 
inches  apart,  and  in  groups  of  not  less  than  a  dozen,  near  the 
front  of  herbaceous  borders  or  shrubbery.  Thus  planted  the 
sheaves  of  narrow  leaves  and  slender,  arching  stems  strung  with 
brilliant  flowers,  like  miniature  gladioli,  have  the  appearance 
of  little  fountains  of  bright  color — scarlet,  yellow,  orange,  red 
often  marked  with  brown.  They  flower  for  many  weeks,  and 
the  gay  patches  of  color  are  delightful  indeed. 

Their  long  lasting  qualities  make  Montbretias  most  admirable 
for  cutting,  so  that  it  is  well  to  have  a  few  hundred  bulbs  set  out 
in  some  by-place  where  they  may  be  cut  for  house  decoration. 
South  of  Philadelphia  these  Cape  bulbs  may  with  entire  safety 
be  left  in  the  open  ground  over  the  Winter,  and  merely  covered 
with  a  light  mulch.  But  in  the  North  they  are  best  treated  after 
the  manner  of  gladioli  and  stored  in  some  frost-proof  place. 
They  may  be  set  out  in  the  Spring  as  early  as  we  plant  gladioli, 
and  should  be  put  in  the  ground  at  least  five  inches  deep. 


Crocosmaeflora.  Pure  yellow,  reverse  of  petals  or¬ 
ange;  large  flowers  . 

Geo.  Davison.  Pale  orange-yellow,  tinted  with 

deeper  orange  externally  . 

Hereward.  Pale  orange-yellow,  resembling  the  va¬ 
riety  George  Davison,  but  nearly  one  month 
later.  The  flowers  have  the  shape  of  Martagon 

lilies  . 

King  Edmund.  A  robust  grower  with  large,  open 
flowers,  rich  yellow,  with  a  carmine-blotched  cen¬ 
ter  . 

Lady  Hamilton.  Yellow  suffused  with  a  richer 
color  until  it  becomes  apricot.  The  flowers  are 
more  trumpet  shaped  than  other  varieties  and 

peculiarly  graceful  . 

Lord  Nelson.  A  handsome  dark-stemmed  variety, 
flowers  of  great  substance,  of  a  rich,  deep  or¬ 
ange,  outside  vermilion  . 

Prometheus.  Award  of  Merit.  A  magnificent  flow¬ 
er  four  inches  in  diameter;  deepest  orange  with 
showy  crimson  ring  around  the  eye;  most  dis¬

diameter  . 

Rosea.  A  very  lovely  species,  bearing  in  Summer 
dainty  spikes  of  pretty  rose  colored  tubular  flow¬ 
ers.  A  charming  little  plant,  distinct  and  very 
free  flowering;  while  the  individual  flowers  of  this 
variety  cannot  be  compared  with  many  of  the 
other  named  sorts,  it  is  a  plant  well  worth  grow¬ 
ing  and  splendid  for  table  decoration,  being  very 

light  in  its  habit  . 

Star  of  the  East.  First  Class  Certificate;  Award 
of  Merit.  One  of  the  finest  Montbretias  ever 
raised;  flowers  pale  orange  yellow,  with  lemon- 
yellow  eye,  expanding  quite  flat  and  held  erect. 
The  flowers  are  much  larger  than  any  other  va¬ 
riety,  best  blooms  measuring  five  inches  in 
diameter.  The  size,  vigor,  color  and  habit  are 

magnificent  and  unequalled  . 

Rheingold.  A  beautiful  clear  golden  yellow;  large 

spike  and  very  vigorous  grower  . 

Speciosa.  Richest  of  all  in  color;  flowers  large,  of 
intense  scarlet  shade  .

Watsonia 

Gladiolus-like  bulbs  and  habit,  flowers  smaller,  more  on  the 
order  of  Giant  Montbretia.  General  appearance  of  plant  is  that 
of  a  cross  between  the  two;  treat  the  same  as  gladiolus  bulbs. 
These  bulbs  are  easily  grown;  flower  in  late  Summer. 

Ardernel  alba.  This  is  the  large,  snow-white  South  African 
“Bugle  Flower,’’  and  a  most  lovely  plant  for  pots  and  pans  in 
the  cool  greenhouse.  Recommended  for  conservatory  and  gar¬ 
den.  The  graceful  branches  grow  from  2  to  3  feet  high,  cov¬ 
ered  with  elegant,  glistening,  snow-white  blossoms.  Remove 
the  top  flowers  when  fading,  and  lower  spikes  rapidly  develop, 
thus  maintaining  a  long  flowering  season.  Grow  like  gladioli. 
75c  per  3;  $2.00  per  doz. ;  $15.00  per  100. 

Firebrand.  Same  as  alba  with  orange-red  blossoms.  75c  per  3; 
$2.00  per  12;  $15.00  per  100.

ange  to  red.  $1.25  per  3;  $3.50  per  12;  $25.00  per  100. 

Zephyranthes 

(Zephyr  Flower  or  Fairy  Lilies) 

Beautiful  dwarf,  bulbous  plant,  very  effective  for  massing  in  the 
border,  flowering  with  great  profusion  during  the  Summer.  They 
are  also  suitable  for  pot  culture  and  rock  garden. 

Alba.  Pure  white.  30c  per  3;  $1.00  per  doz.;  $6.00  per  100. 
Rosea.  Large  rose  colored.  60c  per  3;  $2.00  per  doz.

Hardy  Plant  and  Alpine  Plant  Seeds 


Gathered  at  The  Wayside  Gardens 


We  take  great  pleasure  in  offering  under  this  heading  a  fine  and  practical  list  of  hardy  plant  and  rock 
plant  seeds,  harvested  at  our  own  nursery.  We  know  this  seed  to  be  clean,  pure  and  fresh,  and  past  experience 
has  shown  us  that  home  grown  seeds  germinate  better  and  are  much  stronger  than  the  imported  seeds.  When¬ 
ever  possible  we  use  our  own  seeds  for  the  production  of  hardy  plants  and  rock  plants;  but  we  cannot  and  do 
not  give  any  guarantee  as  to  results,  knowing  only  too  well  that  it  requires  more  time  and  patience,  and  much 
more  care  to  raise  hardy  plants  and  rock  plants  than  a  great  manypeople  are  willing  to  give.  It  is  only  upon 
request  of  hundreds  of  our  customers  that  we  have  decided  to  offer  this  condensed  but  choice  list. 

Please  do  not  ask  us  to  supply  seeds  not  offered  in  this  list. 

Of  the  rare  and  expensive  seeds  we  will  gladly  supply  as  little  as  1/16  or  1/32  of  an  ounce. 


In  ordering  keep  this  list  separate  from  the  “'Correvon"  list. 


Order  by  name  only.

Hardy  Plant  and  Alpine  Plant  Seeds 

FROM 

The  Floraire  Nurseries 

Imported  to  Order  Only! 


When,  a  year  ago,  Mr.  H.  Correvon  of  The  Floraire  Nurseries  visited  this  country  on  a  lecture  tour,  we  had 
the  pleasure  of  having  Mr.  Correvon  with  us  for  a  short  time,  and  arranged  with  him  to  act  as  his  representa¬ 
tives  for  the  U.  S.  A.  and  Canada  and  to  offer  his  seeds  through  the  medium  of  our  plant  catalog. 

Instead  of  offering  his  entire  collection,  Mr.  Correvon  has  selected,  with  our  aid,  only  such  varieties  as  we 
feel  reasonably  sure  will  grow  in  this  part  of  the  world.  We  ask  you  kindly  to  mail  your  orders  at  once  to 
our  office.  We  will  forward  them  to  Switzerland  where  they  will  be  put  up  individually  by  his  own  force  and 
sent  to  us  for  redistribution.  The  price  at  which  his  seeds  are  offered  includes  postage,  duty,  and  all  other  im¬ 
port  charges.  Delivery  will  be  made  by  us  immediately  upon  receipt  from  Europe. 

Owing  to  the  amount  of  work  involved  and  the  small  profit  on  this  type  of  material,  Mr.  Correvon  requests 
check  with  order.  Make  checks  payable  to  “The  Wayside  Gardens  Co.” 


The  price  of  all  seeds  from  The  Floraire  Nurseries  offered  on  pages  70  to  72  is  35c  per  packet. 


No  Correvon  seeds  are  carried  in  stock  by  us.  Hardy  plant  seeds  are  best  sown  in  cold  frames, 
from  March  1st  until  Oct.  1st,  transplant  the  following  Spring.

Just  What  is  the  Thing  to  Plant? 

Is  a  question  which  is  asked  more  often  than  any  other.  We  have,  therefore,  prepared  a  few  selections  giving 
the  best  and  most  useful  plants  suitable  for  various  locations.  We  have  not  made  this  list  any  longer  than  would 
be  practical.  We  have  selected  only  Rock  and  Wall  Plants  which  we  are  sure  will  succeed  in  this  country-  In 
the  case  of  border  plants,  we  have  prepared  two  selections,  one  that  will  do  well  in  shade;  the  other  for  wet 
places.  The  balance  of  plants  offered  in  our  catalog  such  as  Delphiniums,  Gaillardias,  Coreopsis,  Chrysanthe¬ 
mums,  Phlox,  etc.,  growing  under  normal  care  in  every  garden  have  not  been  mentioned  in  this  list.  We  believe 
that  with  this  information  before  you,  you  will  be  able  to  build  and  enjoy  a  better  and  more  attractive  garden. 
If  further  information  is  required,  write  us  and  we  shall  be  glad  to  help  you.

Hardwoi 

Unleached  hardwood  ashes  are  the  best  source  from 
which  may  be  derived  the  most  needed  fertilizer — 
POTASH.  Ninety-five  per  cent  of  the  gardens  in  the 
United  States  today  need  Potash  badly.  Phosphates 
and  nitrates,  as  a  rule,  have  been  abundantly  applied 
by  most  gardeners,  but  potash,  owing  to  its  scarcity 
has  not  been  used  where  it  ought  to  have  been.  We 
have  contracted  with  a  very  large  hardwood  lumber 
company  to  supply  us  with  all  the  hardwood  ashes 

sd  Ashes 

needed  on  our  own  nursery,  and  we  have  put  up  a  few 
hundred  barrels  so  that  we  may  be  able  ta  help  our 
customers  in  securing  this  most  valuable  material. 
Apply  it  either  in  the  Fall  or  Spring  at  the  rate  of  one 
pound  to  ten  square  feet.  Hardwood  ashes  cannot 
be  sold  in  bags,  and  are  therefore  offered  in  barrels 
weighing  200  lbs.  each.  We  charge  $6.00  for  a  200-lb. 
barrel. 

Imported  1 

Imported  Granulated  Dutch  Peat  is  used  with  ex¬ 
cellent  results  in  the  making  of  garden  soils,  especially 
those  soils  that  are  very  heavy,  or  very  dry.  Peat 
stimulates  the  development  of  roots  of  all  plants  and 
in  the  Summer  it  is  an  excellent  moisture  retainer,  as  it 
absorbs  more  than  eight  times  its  own  weight  in  water. 
For  mulching  perennial  beds  it  is  ideal.  A  slight  cov¬ 
ering  of  two  inches  thro'wn  over  the  bed  will  prevent 
all  freezing  and  heaving.  As  a  mulch  for  strawber¬ 
ries,  peat  may  be  dug  in  and  should  not  be  removed. 
It  acts,  therefore,  in  a  double  capacity.  If  one  wishes 
to  plant  such  shrubs  as  Rhododendrons,  Kalmias, 
Azaleas,  Blueberries  or  Arbutus,  (all  these  shrubs  and 
plants  like  an  acid  soil)  we  can  safely  guarantee  that 
soil  prepared  with  50  per  cent  Peat  and  50  per  cent  top 
soil  will  grow  any  of  these  plants  mentioned  to  per¬ 
fection. 

Dutch  Peat 

It  is  also  an  excellent  ground  cover  under  ever¬ 
greens,  Rhododendrons  and  Azaleas,  keeping  the  soil 
moist  and  cool  during  the  hot  Summer,  giving  an  ex¬ 
ceptionally  tidy  appearance  under  these  shrubs,  as  they 
should  never  be  cultivated. 

Peat  may  be  stored  in  a  garage  or  woodshed  for 
any  length  of  time,  as  there  is  nothing  that  will  or  can 
spoil  it.  We  offer  bags  of  20  to  25  lbs.  for  $2.00  each. 
One  such  bag  will  cover  about  12  square  feet  2  inches 
deep. 

Large  orders  for  peat  can  be  handled  direct  from  the 
steamship  dock  in  new  York  City  at  the  following  low 
prices:  Less  than  10  bales,  $4.00  per  bale;  10  bales  up, 
$3.75  per  bale;  25  bales  up,  $3.50  per  bale.  Carloads, 
180-200  bales,  $3.10  per  bale.  Above  quantity  prices  are 
f.  o.  b.  N.  Y.  Approximate  weight  of  a  bale  is  200  lbs.

TERMS  OF  BUSINESS 

Quality  of  Stock  Offered 

All  of  the  stock  offered  is  gTOwn  on  our  own  grounds,  that  grown  from  cut¬ 
tings  and  divisions  we  know  to  be  clean  and  true.  Plants  grown  from  seeds, 
are  from  seed  stocks  obtained  from  the  most  reliable  sources,  here  and  abroad. 

Our  plants  are  all  field-grown,  are  given  constant  care  and  cultivation  and 
when  sent  out  are  strong  and  well  developed,  much  larger  and  worth  a  great 
deal  more  money  than  pot-grown  plants. 

We  do  not  divide  our  plants  before  shipping  but  send  the  entire  plant  as 
dug.  Dividing  is  only  done  in  rare  cases  and  only  then  because  it  is  necessary 
to  get  the  best  results.  If,  after  receiving,  you  are  not  satisfied  with  the 
quality  of  the  stock,  let  us  know  and  we  will  replace  anything  you  mention 
without  charge  or  without  question. 

Quarantees 

We  guarantee  all  stock  furnished  by  us  to  be  first-class,  true  to  name,  all 
of  a  size  so  as  to  give  immediate  results.  However,  there  are  so  many  causes 
for  failure  over  which  we  have  no  control,  that  we  can  assume  no  responsi¬ 
bility  after  stock  is  delivered.  Poor  soil,  unfavorable  weather,  ignorant  or 
careless  culture — all  contribute  to  failure  and  are  beyond  our  control. 

Terms  of  Payment 

Customers  unknown  to  us  will  please  send  cash  or  references  with  their 
order.  It  is  impossible  for  us  to  make  immediate  shipment  to  new  clients 
who  do  not  send  references  or  check  with  their  order.  Not  sending  references 
or  enclosing  check  causes  delay  in  the  forwarding  of  the  stock  you  order. 

Complaints 

We  are  compelled  to  do  all  our  work  during  two  very  short  periods  in  the 
Fall  and  Spring.  In  order  to  get  stock  shipped  on  time,  it  is  necessary  that 
we  work  late  in  the  night.  An  error  is  occasionally  made  during  these  rush 
periods.  We,  therefore,  suggest  that  you  check  over  plants  immediately  upon 
receipt.  If  any  plants  or  bulbs  have  been  damaged  while  in  transit  or  if 
shortages  occur,  notify  us  promptly,  and  corrections  will  be  made  imme¬ 
diately,  or  new  stock  sent  without  charge  for  that  which  is  damaged.  No  com¬ 
plaints  entertained  ten  days  after  date  of  shipment.
