<lAs  One  Garden  Lover  to  Another 


Let  me  express  the  appreciation  we  feel  in  hav¬ 
ing  the  opportunity  of  serving  you.  We  present 
our  Garden  Book  for  1929  with  real  pride,  for  it 
contains  what  we  confidently  feel  is  as  fine  an  as¬ 
sortment  of  planting  as  can  be  found  in  any  nurs¬ 
ery  in  America.  It  is  genuine  pleasure  to  have  you 
look  through  its  pages,  study  the  descriptions  of 
the  different  varieties,  and  realize  that  here  is  real 
value  in  shrubs,  trees  and  flowers. 

We  trust  our  friends  will  look  upon  the  book  as 
our  personal  representative.  It  contains  the  story 
of  our  work  for  the  year  past,  and  for  many  years 
past — work  which  we  have  carried  on  because  we 
love  it,  and  because  we  want  to  share  its  results 
with  garden  lovers  everywhere. 

"Kentucky  Bred"™  a  Guarantee 
of  Quality 

There  are  flowers  and  flowers — and  still  more 
flowers.  Almost  anyone  can  grow  them,  in  one 
fashion  or  another.  But  not  everyone  can  produce 
the  best  ones — that’s  where  the  rub  comes.  That’s 
why  we  ask  you  to  take  thought  a  moment  and  re¬ 
alize  just  what  “Kentucky  Bred”  plantings  bring 
you. 

“Kentucky  Bred” — that’s  our  slogan.  It  means 
quality,  high  quality,  in  every  respect.  It  describes 
the  kind  of  plants  and  flowers  we  produce,  the  kind 
we  can  conscientiously  recommend  and  supply  to 
our  customers.  If  it’s  “Kentucky  Bred,”  the  class 
is  there,  whether  it  be  women,  horses,  or  flowers.

Learn  to  Know  Dahlias 

A  World  of  Pleasure 
Awaits  You 


We  specialize  in  Dahlias  because  to  us  they  are  the 
most  beautiful  of  flowers.  While  others  may  not  entirely 
agree  with  this  opinion,  it  must  be  admitted  that  they  are 
without  doubt  the  most  beautiful  of  late  summer’s  flow¬ 
ers.  No  garden,  no  matter  how  small  or  how  large,  is 
complete  without  a  fair  representation  of  these  most 
gorgeous  blooms. 

History  of  the  Dahlia 

From  the  years  1571  to  1577  a  Spanish  physician,  one 
Hernandez,  resided  in  old  Mexico.  Like  other  profes¬ 
sional  men  of  his  time,  his  interests  were  broad.  No 
doubt  his  practice  was  limited,  for  he  found  time  to  write 
an  extensive  work  on  the  animal  and  plant  life  of  the 
country. 

Some  years  afterwards,  one  Reecho  brought  Dr.  Her¬ 
nandez’s  work  back  to  Europe  with  him  and  published  it 
in  Rome.  The  book  contained  among  other  interesting 
and  unusual  descriptions  of  plant  and  animal  life,  a  brief 
mention,  description  and  illustration  of  the  plant 
“Acoctli.”  His  comments  lead  us  to  believe  that  the  plant 
described  was  the  Dahlia.  It  grew  wild  in  the  sandy  soil 
of  that  country  and  in  single  form.  This  is  the  first 
known  reference  to  the  flower. 

In  1791,  Cavanilles,  another  Spaniard  and  botanist  of 
note  published  a  technical  botanical  description  of  a 
flower  he  had  grown  from  seed  brought  from  Mexico.  He 
called  it  “Dahlia  Pinnatta,”  “Dahlia”  after  a  young  Swed¬ 
ish  botanist,  Andreas  Dahl,  who  had  been  Cavanilles’ 
student  and  who  had  died  just  two  years  previous. 

Such  was  the  start  of  the  Dahlia  in  Europe.  In  the 
early  part  of  the  nineteenth  century  the  Dahlia  was  in¬ 
troduced  into  England  and  France  and  began  to  be  exten¬ 
sively  grown.  From  the  single  blossom  of  “Acoctli”  with 
its  yellow  disk  center  and  scarlet  rays,  the  various  forms 
of  the  Dahlia  have  developed  until  now  we  have  not  only 
single  blossoms  in  a  profusion  of  colors  but  a  large  va¬ 
riety  of  shapes  and  forms,  each  one  in  as  many  different 
colors.  Each  year  brings  added  varieties  from  growers, 
each  a  new  prize  to  treasure.  The  Dahlia  has  become  the 
most  loved  of  all  late  summer  flowers.  There  is  a  shape 
and  form  for  each  taste  and  a  color  for  every  mood. 

The  Culture  of  the  Dahlia 

The  Dahlia  thrives  in  an  open,  sunny  location,  though 
they  will  succeed  in  partial  shade  in  some  instances.  They 
will  grow  in  any  kind  of  soil,  but  a  rich,  sandy  loam  is 
the  best.  To  enrich  poor  ground  in  the  fall  spade  in  well- 
rotted  manure  or  decayed  vegetation.  Use  bone  meal  at 
planting  time,  working  it  well  into  the  soil.  Spade  the 
soil  thoroughly  as  deep  as 
possible  before  the  tuber  is 
planted. 

Planting.  Dahlias  are 
planted  in  the  spring.  It  is 
safe  to  plant  them  any  time 
after  the  danger  of  frost  is 
over.  They  usually  blossom  in 
from  six  to  eight  weeks  after 
planting  time.  It  is  a  good 
plan  to  start  planting  early 
and  plant  tubers  about  one 
to  two  weeks  apart  up  until 
the  middle  or  late  part  of 


Decorative  and  Peony-F 

May.  When  ready  to  plant  place  stout  stakes  at  least 
three  feet  apart,  four  feet  is  better;  then  dig  the  holes 
about  six  inches  deep  and  place  the  bulb  in  a  horizontal 
position  with  the  sprout  end  two  inches  from  the  stake. 
Never  stand  the  bulb  on  end.  This  method  of  planting  is 
known  as  the  “stake”  method  and  is  the  most  successful 
for  general  results. 

Cultivation.  For  the  most  beautiful  flowers  cultivate 
often.  Keep  the  soil  loose  around  young  plants.  Do  not 
permit  it  to  bake  or  harden.  After  each  rain  cultivate 
them  to  keep  the  ground  in  good  condition  and  prevent 
weed  growth.  Later  in  the  season  when  the  fine,  silky 
roots  come  to  the  surface  stop  cultivation  and  put  a  mulch 
of  some  kind  around  the  plant  to  retain  moisture  and 
protect  the  small  roots. 

Training  the  Plant.  After  several  sprouts  appear  re¬ 
move  all  but  one  or  two  from  each  plant.  When  they  are 
sufficiently  above  the  ground  to  show  three  or  four  leaves, 
pinch  out  the  center  stem.  This  will  cause  branches  to 
grow  from  the  laterals  and  produce  a  strong,  bushy  plant 
At  this  time  they  should  be  securely  tied  to  the  stake 
with  twine  or  some  soft  material.  Continue  the  tying  as 
the  plant  grows  so  that  it  will  not  be  broken  down  by 
wind  or  other  causes. 

For  Large  Blooms.  For  extra  large  blooms  remove  the 
first  set  of  side  shoots  from  the  first  bud  with  a  sharp 
knife.  This  forces  the  plant  life  that  would  have  gone 
into  the  two  side  shoots  into  the  first  bud,  making  an 
extra  large  flower,  much  larger  and  giving  a  good  stem. 
For  exhibition  purposes  disbud  every  side  shoot  down  the 
entire  length  of  the  stalk.  The  one  flower  that  you  will 
get  from  the  plant  will  be  of  gigantic  size. 

Forcing  for  Exhibition.  To  produce  the  finest  flowers 
for  exhibition  purposes,  plant  three  to  five  feet  apart, 
using  a  liberal  amount  of 
manure  or  fertilizers:  culti¬ 
vate  frequently;  apply  fer¬ 
tilizer  or  manure,  broadcast 
or  liquid  form,  at  each  or 
every  other  hoeing,  and  dis¬ 
bud,  making  applications  ' 
very  effective  for  forcing.^ 

Apply  when  plants  are  in  , 
bud,  making  applications 
often,  but  do  not  use  too 
much  at  a  time.  Apply  ni¬ 
trate  of  soda  in  crystal  form 
on  top  of  the  ground,  or  in 
liquid  form,  using  one  table-

spoon  of  nitrate  of  soda  crystals  to  a  gallon  of  water, 
using  sprayer  or  watering  can. 

When  the  flower-buds  appear,  only  one  bud  should  be 
allowed  to  come  to  maturity,  enabling  each  branch  to 
produce  one  exceptionally  fine,  perfect  flower.  The  flow¬ 
ers,  for  quality,  must  not  be  allowed  to  receive  the 
drenching  rains  or  scalding  sun  when  nearing  full  bloom 
and  should  be  protected  from  such. 

It  is  always  advisable  to  cut  flowers  that  are  to  be 
exhibited  as  late  as  possible  at  night  when  the  dew  is 
on  them,  placing  them  in  water  and  keeping  them  as  cool 
as  possible  over  night,  thereby  enabling  them  to  with¬ 
stand  handling,  packing  and  transportation. 

Watering.  Use  very  little  water  until  flowering  buds 
appear,  after  which  plants  can  be  thoroughly  watered 
about  once  a  week.  Soak  the  ground  until  moist  at  least 
six  inches  deep.  Rake  over  the  surface  the  following  day. 
This  conserves  moisture  and  lets  in  air  and  sunshine. 

Harvesting.  As  soon  as  the  frost  kills  the  foliage  and 
the  strength  of  the  stalk  recedes  into  the  tubers,  harvest 
your  Dahlias.  Dig  them  up  carefully,  do  not  pull  them 
up.  After  removing  the  clump  from  the  ground,  shake 
gently  to  remove  the  soil  that  will  naturally  fall  off. 
Cut  off  at  tops  two  or  three  inches  from  the  clumps.  Lay 
them  in  the  sun  and  air  for  about  an  hour  or  two.  Pack 
in  a  cool,  frost-proof  place  having  an  average  tempera¬ 
ture  of  about  45  to  55  degrees.  The  cellar  provides  the 
best  place  for  their  storage.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  insulate 
them  from  furnace  and  frost  with  burlap,  paper  or  can¬ 
vas.  This  excludes  the  air  and  preserves  an  even  temper¬ 
ature.  This  is  very  important,  as  bulbs  will  shrivel  and 
dry  up  if  not  properly  taken  care  of. 

Dividing  the  Clumps.  Divide  the  clumps  in  the  spring. 
The  dividing  should  be  done  carefully  with  a  sharp  knife 
or  coping  saw  and  particular  care  should  be  taken  to 
avoid  the  necks  of  the  tubers.  The  eyes  of  the  tubers  are 
easily  recognized.  Cut  the  tubers  so  that  there  is  at  least 
one  eye  on  each  division  of  the  clump. 

To  Preserve  Cut  Flowers.  Flowers  should  be  cut  late 
in  the  afternoon  or  early  in  the  morning.  Place  tips  of 
the  stems  in  water  for  about  twenty  seconds  while  boil¬ 
ing  on  the  stove  and  immediately  plunge  the  tips  deep 
into  cold  water.  If  blooms  droop  prematurely  place 
stems  deep  in  hot  water  and  allow  them  to  remain  until 
the  water  cools.  This  will  usually  revive  them.  A  pinch 
of  salt  in  the  water  helps. 

Classification  of  Dahlias.  We  follow  the  classification 
of  Dahlias  as  adopted  by  the  American  Dahlia  Society. 
Under  the  different  headings  and  classifications  the  names 
and  their  application  as  recently  defined  by  the  American 
Dahlia  Society  follow: 

Single.  Open-centered  flowers,  small  to  very  large, 
with  8  to  12  floral  rays  (petals)  more  or  less  in  one  circle, 
margins  often  decurved  or  revolute  (turned  down  or 
backward). 

Collarette.  Of  single  type,  with  not  more  than  nine 
large  floral  rays,  but  with  a  circle  of  smaller,  narrower, 
usually  different  colored,  rays  standing  at  base  or  in 
front  of  larger  rays  and  forming  a  collar  between  them 
and  open  center. 

Duplex.  Semi-double  flowers;  center  almost  exposed 
on  opening  of  bud, 
rays  more  than 
twelve,  in  more 
than  one  circle, 
long  and  flat,  or 
broad  and  round¬ 
ed,  not  noticeably 
twisted  or  curled. 
Many  Dahlias  pre¬ 
viously  classed  as 
Peony  -  flowered 
belong  here. 

Peony  -  flowered. 

Flowers  are  semi¬ 
double,  having 


two,  three  or  more  rows  of 
broad,  flat,  loosely  arranged 
rays  or  petals,  surrounding 
an  open  center,  which  is 
usually  a  conspicuous  gold¬ 
en-yellow,  the  inner  floral 
rays  being  usually  curled 
or  twisted,  the  outer  rays 
either  flat,  or  more  or  less 
irregular.  Sometimes  the 
rays  are  pointed,  occa¬ 
sionally  they  curl  and 
'twist  over  the  center. 

Decorative.  Double  flow¬ 
ers,  full  to  the  center,  early 
in  the  season  at  least,  flat 
rather  than  ball-shaped, 
with  broad,  flat,  somewhat 
loosely  arranged  floral  rays  with  broad  points  or  rounded 
tips  which  are  straight  or  decurved  (turndown  or  back), 
not  incurved,  and  with  margins  revolute,  if  rolled  at  all. 

Ball  Shaped,  Double.  Full  to  the  center. 

(A)  Show  Type.  Flowers  globular  or  ball-shaped, 
rather  than  broad  or  flat,  full  to  the  center,  showing  reg¬ 
ular  spiral  arrangement  of  florets,  with  floral  rays  or 
petals  more  or  less  quilled  or  with  their  margins  involute 
(rolled  forward  or  inward)  and  rounded  tip  (Dahlias  of 
this  type  with  flowers  spotted,  variegated  or  parti-col¬ 
ored,  were  formerly  classed  as  Fancy,  a  group  no  longer 
recognized). 

(B)  Hybrid  Show,  Giant  Show  or  Colossal  Type. 

Flowers  fully  double,  broadly  hemispherical  to  flatly 
globular  in  form,  loosely  built  so  spiral  arrangement  of 
florets  is  not  immediately  evident;  floral  rays  broad, 
heavy,  cupped  or  quilled,  with  rounded  tips  and  more  or 
less  involute  margins.  Verging  toward  the  Decorative 
Class  and  sometimes  found  classed  with  the  Deeoratives. 

(C)  Pompon  Type.  Same  shape  and  form  as  A  and 
B,  but  flowers  must  be  under  2  inches  in  diameter. 

Cactus.  Double  flowers. 

(A)  True  Fluted  Type.  Flowers  fully  double,  floral 
rays  or  petals  long,  narrow,  incurved  or  twisted,  with 
sharp,  divided  or  fluted  points  and  with  margins  revolute 
(rolled  backward  or  outward),  forming  in  the  outer  flor¬ 
ets  a  more  or  less  perfect  tube  for  more  than  half  the 
length  of  the  ray  or  petal. 

(B)  Hybrid  Cactus.  Flowers  fully  double,  floral  rays 
(petals)  short  as  compared  with  previous  type;  broad, 
flat,  recurved  or  twisted,  not  sharply  pointed  except 
when  tips  are  divided  (staghorn),  margins  only  slightly 
revolute,  and  tubes  of  outer  florets  less  than  half  the 
length  of  the  ray  or  petal.  This  type  intergrades  with 
the  Decorative  and  Peony-flowered  classes.

Society  for  some  of  the  information  printed  above.  If

Announcing  theD\ew  Schulj  Slower  Store 


BUYING  habits  of  people  change  almost  over 
night.  A  great  many  businesses  have  been 
entirely  reorganized  because  of  this  particular 
trait  of  humankind.  We  get  started  on  one  thing 
when  along  comes  something  new  which  changes 
our  lives  completely. 

We  had  this  brought  very  close  to  us  just  lately. 
For  very  many  years  we  had  our  shop  at  550 
South  Fourth  Avenue,  Louisville.  There,  years 
ago,  people  came  to  the  shop  for  flowers,  or  people 
dropped  in  to  pick  out  pieces  for  parties  or  funerals. 
It  was  thought  necessary  for  success  that  a  florist 
business  must  be  located  as  centrally  as  possible. 
But  with  the  increasing  use  of  the  telephone  and 
automobile,  buying  habits  of  people  have  changed 
in  a  marvelous  way.  More  and  more  people 
ordered  flowers  over  the  telephone,  and  our  trade 
came  not  only  from  people  who  happened  to  live 
near  the  downtown  Louisville,  but  from  people 
who  lived  on  the  outskirts,  who  drove  down  to 
choose  flowers. 

Another  difficulty  arose — the  question  of  parking 
while  shopping  in  the  downtown  district.  Ac¬ 
cordingly,  after  long  deliberation,  we  are  leaving 
our  location  on  Fourth  Avenue,  have  leased  our 
property  there  and  have  built  a  model  flower  shop 
and  greenhouses  out  on  Bardstown  Road,  on  one 
corner  of  the  Schulz  Dahlia  Farm,  a  short  drive 
from  the  center  of  Louisville. 

We  can  deliver  now  as  quickly  to  nearly  every  part 
of  town  as  we  could  when  we  had  our  central  loca¬ 
tion.  Furthermore,  our  friends  who  come  to  see 
us  now  can  choose  nursery  stock 
right  from  the  fields  as  easily  as 
they  chose  flowers  from  vases  in 
the  downtown  shop. 

The  illustration  above  shows  our 
building  completed.  Please  note 


we  are  all  dressed  up  for  Christmas  with  signs  on 
the  windows  advertising  Christmas  wreaths.  Hun¬ 
dreds  of  motorists  driving  by  have  stopped  to 
buy  their  Christmas  decorations  here  this  year. 

You  can  get  an  idea  from  this  illustration  of  the 
beautiful  architecture  of  this  building.  The  green¬ 
houses  attached  are  the  finest  and  most  modern 
in  our  vicinity.  They  are  big  enough  to  care  for 
our  needs  for  quite  a  while,  and  naturally  the  land 
provides  for  necessary  expansion  as  business  con¬ 
tinues  to  grow.  The  main  floor  of  this  building 
is  given  over  to  reception  hall  and  sales  floor;  the 
second  floor  is  given  over  to  the  offices  of  the  Jacob 
Schulz  Co.,  Inc.,  where  your  letters  go,  where  your 
orders  are  entered  and  where  supervision  of  the 
machinery  which  supplies  you  with  “Kentucky 
Bred”  flowers  is  carried  on. 

We  heartily  invite  you  to  see  our  new  home.  We 
are  immensely  proud  of  it  and  welcome  the  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  show  it  to  you.  Be  sure  to  come  and  see 
us  when  you  are  in  Louisville.

There’s  Pleasure  and  Profits  in  Growing 
“Kentucky  Bred ”  Dahlias 


Perhaps  you  have  always  thought  of  Dahlias 
only  in  terms  of  pleasure  to  yourself  and  family. 
There  are  many  women  and  men  too,  who  grow 
Dahlias  for  the  extra  money  they  receive  from 
the  sale  of  cut  plants  and  even  from  the  tubers 
their  friends  and  neighbors  buy.  One  of  our  cus¬ 
tomers,  Mrs.  A.  A.  Morrow,  of  Zanesville,  Ohio, 
is  growing  Dahlias  for  profits  as  well  as  for  the 
pleasure  she  gets  out  of  a  beautiful  garden.  Mrs. 
Morrow  says  of  “Kentucky  Bred”  Dahlias: 

“The  bulbs  I  purchased  from  you  were  won¬ 
derful.” 

Here  is  a  picture  of  Mrs.  Morrow’s  Dahlia 
Garden.

KENTUCKY  CARDINAL 


One  of  our  own  original  “Kentucky  Bred”  Dahlias  originated  by  Mr.  G.  E.  Schulz.  A  remarkable  Dahlia.  As 
charming  and  vivacious  as  the  bird  whose  name  it  bears. 

Garden  and  Home  Builder  says  of  it: 

“At  last  someone  has  fittingly  used  the  name  made  famous  by  James  Lane  Allen.  It  is  fitting  that  a 
Kentucky  originator  has  chosen  this  name  for  a  good  Dahlia.  Kentucky  Cardinal  won  the  American  Dahlia 
Society  Certificate  of  Merit  in  1926.  It  is  a  bright  scarlet  Decorative  that  holds  its  color  under  sunshine,  and 
an  excellent  grower.  This  is  the  first  time  a  Kentucky  origination  has  got  into  the  Honor  Boll.” 

We  have  a  limited  stock  this  year  and  are  offering  it  in  our  catalog.

able  color.  Most  pink  Dahlias  have  a  slight  tinge  of  lavender  in  their  petals.  Jersey’s  Beauty  is  true  pink,  almost 
entirely  free  from  the  lavender  tinge.  The  color  is  a  lovely  rose-pink.  The  blooms  are  large  and  of  true  decorative 
type.  Well  pointed  and  artistic  in  proportion.  It  has  extra  fine  stems.  Our  extensive  growing  -g 
facilities  and  our  exceptionally  large  stock  make  it  possible  for  us  to  offer  this  Dahlia  for  .  H*  _|_  each

Testimonial 


211  Central  Ave.,  East  Point,  Ga. 

Jacob  Schulz  Co.  January  6,  1929. 

In  the  fall  of  1927  I  bought  from  your  agent  at  the  fair;  1  “Jersey  Beauty,”  2  “Jean  Kern,”  1  “Kitty  Dunlap,” 
and  they  proved  to  be  fine — especially  the  Jersey  Beauty  and  Jean  Kern. 

As  I  told  you  I  had  only  one  “Jersey  Beauty”  but  have  never  seen  so  many  large  flowers  from  one  stalk.  It 
was  the  talk  of  the  town.  The  stalk  grew  ten  feet  high.  I  guess  the  soil  perhaps  had  lots  to  do  with  it,  but  anyway 
I  wanted  you  to  know  what  success  I  had  with  my  Jersey  Beauty  and  that  I  think  your  bulbs  are  far  superior  to 
others  I  have  tried.  ,r  ,  . 

Very  best, 

Mrs.  W.  E.  Orr.

Testimonial 


Jacob  Schulz  Company,  Inc.,  Louisville,  Ky.  HICKORY  HILL,  Thomson,  Ga.,  April  13,  1928. 

Gentlemen : — 


I  trust  you  will  pardon  my  delay  in  acknowledging  the  nice  iris  you  sent  gratis  with  my  phlox  order. 
You  were  most  generous,  and  I  thank  you. 

The  phlox  mixture  came  in  first  class  condition;  I  have  never  received  plants  packed  so  carefully.  I 
think  they  would  have  traveled  around  the  globe  in  a  green  state. 

I  will  remember  you  with  future  orders.  ,T  ,  ,

Hardy  Chrysanthemums 

After  the  frost  has  taken  all  other  flowers,  the  Hardy 
Chrysanthemum  greets  us  with  an  abundance  of  blooms  of 
various  hues  and  colors.  It  is  one  of  the  most  satisfactory  and 
popular  Fall  Flowering  Plants.  Frost  will  not  harm  the 
blooms,  and  plants  are  easily  grown,  making  a  fine  addition 
to  any  garden.  The  most  satisfactory  way  to  carry  the  plants 
through  the  winter  is  by  placing  them  in  cold  frames,  although 
they  can  be  successfully  handled  by  planting  them  in  a  well 
drained  position  and  covering  with  a  good  mulching  of  leaves 
or  loose  litter.  The  varieties  listed  below  usually  begin 
flowering  about  the  last  of  August  and  continue  during 
October  and  November.  All  of  our  plants  are  sent  out  of 
2%-inch  pots  and  we  begin  making  delivery  in  April,  con¬ 
tinuing  until  July  1st.  Price  for  good  strong  plants .

Lilies 

Thev  are  most  graceful  in  line,  brilliant  in  delicacy  of 
color,  and  of  delightful  fragrance.  Lilies  do  best  in  the  hardy 
border  or  among  shrubbery,  as  there  they  get  the  benefit  of 
the  shade  of  surrounding  plants  which  is  so  necessary  to  their 
welfare.

Phlox 


One  of  the  most  attractive  of  our  perennial  plants.  Its 
erect  stems,  topped  by  great  clusters  of  small  flowers,  puts  it 
in  a  class  by  itself. 

For  border  planting,  there  is  nothing  to  equal  the  Phlox. 
Their  brilliant  blossoms  are  borne  in  great  profusion  and 
retain  their  superb  colorings  for  some  time,  giving  color  and 
finish  to  a  mass  planting  of  shrubs  and  brightening  up  the 
dullest  places.

In  making  a  lawn,  if  the  soil  is  naturally  rich,  all  that  is 
necessary  is  that  it  be  well  spaded,  making  it  as  fine  and  mel¬ 
low  as  possible.  Otherwise,  a  good  dressing  of  well-rotted 
manure  should  be  spaded  in  and  mixed  with  the  soil.  The 
next  requisite  is  good  seed  of  the  right  varieties,  sown  at  the 
rate  of  00  to  100  pounds  per  acre.  The  more  freely  the  seed 
is  used  the  quicker  a  thick,  velvet-like  turf  may  be  secured. 

There  is  no  question  about  the  quality  of  grass  seed  which 
is  offered  our  customers — it  is  of  the  very  best  grade  to  be 
secured.

ordinary  size,  usually  measuring  2  inches  across,  with  wavy 
standards  and  wide-spreading  wings  and  a  stem  which  is  long

Discarded  All  Other  Bulbs 

September  8,  1927. 

I  ordered  dahlia  bulbs  from  you  this  spring  and  am  very  pleased  with  them,  now  while  the  blooming  season  is  at 
its  best.  I  have  noticed  other  friends  and  neighbors  who  have  paid  more  for  theirs  than  I  did.  I  have  discarded  the 
bulbs  that  I  had  before  I  bought  from  you,  because  there  was  too  much  difference.  Some  I  have  had  to  bloom  from 
S  to  10  inches  and  very  good  blooms  of  your  bulbs.  Am  making  up  my  list  for  the  next  season  to  come,  with  Schulz’s

I  also  had  wonderful  success  with  your  dahlia  seeds, 
and  have  two  that  are  especially  beautiful.  I  shall  want 
some  more  of  these  next  year.

People  Come  to  See  Her  Garden 

May  23.  1927. 

Five  years  ago  I  ordered  a  single  peony,  “The  Moor," 
from  you.  It  is  such  a  beautiful  peony,  and  I  have  so 
many  inquiring  about  it  that  I  would  like  to  get  another 
root.  The  peonies  and  irises  that  I  have  purchased 
from  you  are  just  wonderful.  People  come  from  all 
parts  to  see  my  garden.

Gladioli 

There’s  nothing  that  goes  farther  toward 
making  a  home  out  of  a  house  than  flowers 
both  in  the  garden  and  about  the  rooms. 

There  is  no  flower  that  will  go  farther  in 
beautifying  the  garden  than  the  gladiolus. 

Their  sharp  vivid  coloring  together  with  vari¬ 
ety  of  form  and  color  have  made  them  one 
of  the  most  popular  flowers  of  today.  They 
are  easy  to  grow,  require  a  minimum  of  atten¬ 
tion  and  thrive  well  in  most  any  kind  of  soil. 

The  ideal  way  to  plant  them  is  to  start  in  late 
April  and  plant  a  number  each  week  or  ten 
days  until  mid  June.  They  will  bloom  in 
your  garden  from  July  until  frost.  As 
cut  flowers  they  are  far  superior  to  any  Sum¬ 
mer  bloomer  for  lasting  qualities.  Glads  hold 
another  advantage  that  means  a  great  deal 
to  the  average  garden  enthusiast;  they  are 
so  reasonable  in  price  that  a  comprehensive 
display  may  be  had  for  an  extremely  modest 
investment.  Plant  them  in  beds  or  in  borders, 
they’ll  start  blooming  after  Peonies  and  Irises 
are  gone.  The  “Kentucky  Bred”  varieties 
offered  here  are  the  pick  of  hundreds  of 
varieties  now  on  the  market.

Hardy  Vines  and  Climbers 

Vines  bring  up  memories  of  shaded  porches  and  moonlight;  there’s  a 
touch  of  romance  connected  with  them  in  the  minds  of  most  of  us.  Poets 
and  songwriters  have  sought  inspiration  from  honeysuckle,  clematis  and 
ivy.  Certainly  no  more  softening  influence  can  be  given  to  a  house  than 
vines  planted  wisely.  “Kentucky  Bred”  vines  are  hardy  and  easy  to  grow. 
They  are  reasonable  in  price,  too.  We’ll  be  glad  to  advise  with  you  about

Evergreens 


Evergreens  are  indispensable  to  a  well  rounded  planting  scheme.  The  main  point  in  their 
favor  is  the  fact  that  they  provide  a  warm,  live  green  color  during  months  when  no  trees  and  only 
a  few  shrubs  show  any  color  at  all.  Evergreens  are  ideal  for  windbreaks,  for  ornamental  plant¬ 
ing,  both  formal  and  informal,  and  for  a  screen  to  shut  out  any  undesirable  view.  Schulz  ever¬ 
greens  are  well  known  for  their  exceptional  hardiness  and  fine  appearance.  We  exercise  extreme 
care  in  growing  and  are  especially  careful  to  pack  and  ship  so  that  the  tree  is  in  the  best  possible 
condition  when  it  reaches  the  customer.  Turn  to  the  center  spread  and  note  the  care  with  which 
the  man  is  digging  and  burlapping  the  small  evergreen.  Every  tree  gets  the  same  attention.

Irises  a  Big  Surprise 

April  18,  1927. 

Dear  Sirs : 

My  Irises  ordered  from  you  were  a  big  surprise  to  me  and  I  know  they  will 
surprise  others  who  order  as  I  did.  They  were  planted  and  bloomed  the  same 
season.  The  rhyzomes  were  all  large  and  healthy,  and  I  sure  thank  you  for  the 
attention  given  my  order.  I  am  sending  you  an  order  for  dahlias  and  I  know 
they  will  be  Schulz  Quality,  as  always.  Thanking  you  for  service  rendered,  I 
remain,  Respectfully, 

GEORGE  A.  SMITH,  St.  Louis,  Missouri. 

At  the  left  is  a  picture  of  Mr.  Smith’s  Iris  Garden.  Note  the  Irises  in  front 
are  through  blooming  while  those  at  the  rear  are  still  in  flower. 


Making  the  Neighbors  Envious 


Gentlemen  : 

The  Iris  I  received  from  you  last  fall  are  in  bloom  now 
are  certainly  making  the  neighbors  envy  me.  I  am  sure  you 
from  them  as  they  want  to  know  where  I  got  them. 

Yours  truly, 


May  2,  1927. 

and  I  must  say  they 
will  get  some  orders

work  and  no  play  makes  Jack  a  dull  boy.”  It 
applies  to  business  men  and  housewives  today  just 
as  it  does  to  children.  We  all  need  an  avocation 
or  hobby  to  go  along  with  our  regular  work.  It  is 
good  to  come  home  from  the  office  or  the  shop  from 
the  every-day  grind  and  to  forget  it  all  working 
in  the  soil,  planting,  cultivating  and  caring  for 
growing  things.  You  don’t  need  a  big  space  to 
have  a  garden  that  you  can  really  enjoy.  You  can 
accomplish  wonders  in  a  limited  space.  It  may  be 
only  a  few  square  feet,  but  planned  judiciously,  it 
will  give  a  great  deal  of  pleasure  and  beauty. 

Gardening  is  a  real  exercise.  It  is  a  change  that 
everyone  needs.  It  has  always  seemed  a  garden  is 
the  soul  of  the  home.  Without  a  garden,  the  home 
lacks  something.  Beautify  your  home  outside  with 
beds  and  borders,  inside  with  cut  flowers  all 
through  the  season. 


The  garden  makes  a  wonderful  place  for  your 
children  to  live  and  play  in  during  the  warmer 
months.  The  garden  brings  happiness,  health  and 
satisfaction. 

Your  Home  is  Worth  More 

A  small  investment  in  trees,  shrubs,  plants  and 
flowers  will  increase  the  value  of  your  estate  as 
much  as  25  per  cent.  Notice  the  houses  that  you 
see  along  the  streets  of  your  town,  village  or  city. 
Those  that  have  grounds  artistically  planned  and 
carried  out  are  the  nicest  homes,  the  homes  you 
would  care  to  live  in.  Ask  your  real  estate  man 
about  it.  He  will  confirm  our  word.  Don’t  forget 
our  landscape  offer.  We  will  be  glad  to  plan  your 
home  grounds  in  order  to  make  them  more  beauti¬ 
ful  and  attractive.  The  best  part  of  it  is,  when  you 
buy  plants,  shrubs  or  trees  from  Schulz  you  don’t 
have  to  spend  a  fortune  for  them.  Our  direct  sell¬ 
ing  plan  saves  you  money.  You  cannot  buy  equal 
quality  for  less  price  any  place.

Never  Received  Such  Large,  Healthy  Rhyzomes 

Dear  Sirs:  August  30,  1927. 

I  received  the  first  shipment  of  Iris  and  I  want  to  say  that  for  a  collection  offer  and  priced  as  they  were,  that  they  were 
fine.  In  fact,  I  have  never  before  received  such  large,  healthy  looking  rhyzomes.  This  will  verify  the  statement  you  made 
in  reference  to  shipping  better  rhyzomes  than  could  be  procured  from  any  other  source.  I  am  very  much  pleased  and 
look  forward  to  some  beautiful  blooms.  Thanking  you,  I  am.  Very  truly  yours, 

L.  N.  GOLL,

^Planting  and  Cultural ' Directions — 
Schulz  “Garden  Tips ” 


jn  The  most  important  factor  in  successful  rose 

KOSeS  culture  is  the  Roses  prefer  heavy  soil, 

although  with  proper  care,  they  can  be  grown 
in  light  soils.  The  bed  preparation  is  similar  to  the  prepa¬ 
ration  for  other  plants,  being  worked  to  a  depth  of  18 
inches.  A  well-prepared,  heavy  soil  feels  crumbly  when 
taken  in  the  hand.  This  crumbly  structure  is  easily  main¬ 
tained  by  frequent  cultivation  at  times  when  the  soil  is  not 
soaked  with  water.  Well-rotted  manure  is  the  best  fertilizer 
for  roses,  and  should  be  worked  into  the  soil  before  plant¬ 
ing.  Although  much  moisture  is  required  for  rose  culture, 
they  will  not  stand  “wet  feet”  of  standing  water.  Artificial 
drainage  may  be  necessary. 

Planting 

When  the  roses  arrive,  unpack  them  immediately.  If 
they  can  not  be  planted  at  the  time,  they  may  be  “heeled 
in.”  This  consists  of  digging  a  trench,  in  which  the 
plants  are  placed  in  a  slanting  position,  close  together, 
and  soil  packed  around  the  roots  to  keep  out  the  air.  The 
roots  will  need  lots  of  water,  to  be  sure  that  none  dry  out. 
If  you  have  ordered  a  goodly  number  of  plants,  it  is  ad¬ 
visable  to  heel  them  all  in  before  planting,  and  then  re¬ 
move  a  few  as  needed.  The  important  thing  is  to  keep 
the  roots  damp  or  wet.  A  dried  root  will  die. 

Plant  the  roses  about  two  inches  below  the  crown,  or 
below  the  point  where  the  first  branches  rise.  Be  sure 
the  roots  are  well  spread,  and  that  the  soil  is  well  packed 
around  them  to  keep  out  the  air.  Water  each  plant  thor¬ 
oughly.  Hybrid  perpetuals  may  be  planted  2%  to  3  feet 
apart;  teas  1%  to  2  feet  apart,  and  ramblers  5  to  6  feet. 

Cultivation 

During  the  growing  season,  keep  the  top  soil  well 
worked,  and  in  dry  weather,  give  enough  water  to  reach 
the  bottom  roots.  Roses  are  usually  pruned  in  April, 
when  the  weak  shoots  are  cut  out,  and  the  growth  of  the 
strong  ones  are  cut  back  considerably.  Always  cut  to  an 
outside  eye.  It  is  better  to  prune  Tea  Roses  the  latter 
part  of  April.  Leave  3  to  4  strong  branches  with  4  to  6 
eyes  on  each  branch. 


jry  •  1  Like  most  other  garden  plants,  the 

T'Cf'CVitZtCt'lS  perennials  do  best  in  a  rich,  moist 
soil,  where  there  is  plenty  of  sun¬ 
light.  A  good  seed  bed  preparation,  with  plenty  of  manure, 
and  constant  cultivation  after  the  plants  are  up,  all  help 
with  the  success  of  the  garden.  Enough  kinds  should  be 
planted  to  provide  continuous  blooming  all  through  the 
season,  at  the  same  time  avoiding  striking  color  contrasts. 
A  richer  effect  may  be  had  by  planting  in  groups  of  five 
or  more  of  a  kind,  rather  than  singly. 

The  distance  between  plants  will  vary  with  the  size  and 
effect  desired.  The  larger  plants,  of  course,  will  have 
more  room.  Good  planting  seasons  are  in  April  and  May 
or  September  and  October. 

Frequent  cultivation  and  watering  will  help  perennials. 
It  is  advisable  to  cover  the  bed  with  a  few  inches  of 
straw  in  the  winter,  to  guard  against  alternate  freezing 
and  thawing.  This  may  be  applied  after  the  ground  has 
frozen. 


T\  *  Peonies  will  thrive  in  most  any  soil,  pro- 

1T  COttTCS  aiding  it  is  well  fertilized  and  worked  up. 

Good  soil  preparation  consists  in  dig¬ 
ging  it  up  to  a  depth  of  18  inches  and  mixing  in 
about  10%  of  well-rotted  manure  and  leaf  mold.  A  deep, 
loose  soil  for  planting  holds  the  moisture  longer,  contains 
more  air,  and  gives  the  roots  a  better  chance  to  spread 
out  and  find  nourishment.  All  of  these  are  essential  to 
successful  garden  culture.  It  is  easier  to  keep  soils  in  a 
“friable”  condition  when  there  is  plenty  of  organic  matter 
present,  such  as  manure  and  leaf  mold.  These  are  neces¬ 
sary  both  for  their  plant  food  and  their  physical  aid  in 
cultivation. 

Planting 

Peony  roots  may  be  planted  in  early  spring,  as  soon  as 
the  frost  is  out  of  the  ground,  or  in  the  fall.  If  planted 
in  the  fall,  they  will  need  protection  their  first  winter. 
A  covering  of  four  inches  of  leaves  will  serve  very  well. 
Plant  the  roots  about  three  inches  deep  in  the  well-worked 
seed  bed,  from  2  to  3  feet  apart. 

Cultivation 

Peonies  are  very  hardy  and  will  need  no  winter  protec¬ 
tion  after  their  first  winter.  In  fact,  they  will  grow  and 
give  beautiful  blooms  with  only  the  minimum  care  the 
year  around.  However,  they  respond  to  the  careful  cul¬ 
tivation  of  the  garden  lover  with  larger  and  more  bril¬ 
liant  flowers.  The  essence  of  this  cultivation  is  to  keep 
the  soil  rich  and  friable,  beginning  in  early  spring,  as 
soon  as  the  ground  becomes  workable.  Well-rotted  ma¬ 
nure  or  bone  meal  may  be  worked  into  the  soil  to  a  depth 
of  two  inches  in  the  spring,  being  careful  to  keep  any  fer¬ 
tilizer  away  from  the  crown.  Peonies  like  plenty  of 
watering.  If  large  flowers  are  desired,  pick  off  the  lateral 
buds.  This  throws  the  strength  into  the  top  buds. 


Sorts  I  Wished  for  Most 


August  26,  1927. 

Dear  Sirs: 

The  Iris  roots  arrived  this  A.  M.  Wish  to  say 
the  roots  are  fine.  X  am  very  much  pleased.  Thanks 
ever  so  much  for  the  nice  selection.  Just  the  sorts  I 
wished  for  most. 


Respectfully,

Cultivation 

Irises  are  very  hardy,  and  easy  to  cultivate.  They  will, 
however,  respond  to  occasional  cultivation  and  fertiliza¬ 
tion.  Since  Irises  naturally  multiply  into  large  clumps 
from  season  to  season,  making  it  hard  to  keep  out  the 
grass  and  root  rot,  it  is  advisable  to  dig  them  up  every 
four  or  five  years,  separate,  remove  the  weeds,  and  reset. 
The  best  time  to  do  this  is  after  the  blooming  season. 


Evergreens 


Courtesy  Common  Brick  Manufacturers  Assn. 

A  Good  Example  of  Base  Planting  to  Fit  in  with  the 
Architecture  of  the  House. 

Gladioli 

A  good,  rich  loam  soil  is  best  for  “glads.”  A  little  effort 
in  fertilizing  will  be  amply  repaid  in  the  abundance  of 
blossoms.  For  heavy  soils,  plant  the  bulbs  four  inches 
deep,  and  for  lighter  soils,  five  to  six  inches  deep.  A 
good  way  is  to  dig  a  row 
or  bed  to  the  desired  depth, 
thoroughly  pulverizing  the 
soil  in  the  bottom,  and 
working  in  well-rotted  ma¬ 
nure,  or  a  liberal  amount  of 
good  fertilizer.  Hen  manure 
will  give  good  results,  but 
is  rather  strong,  and  should 
be  covered  with  an  inch  of 
fine  soil.  Plant  the  bulbs 
and  cover  to  the  desired 
depth. 

Cultivation 

As  soon  as  the  shoots 
poke  their  heads  through  the 
ground,  cultivation  may  be¬ 
gin.  Cultivation  at  least  once 
a  week  until  flowering  time  will  aid  materially  in  the  size 
and  number  of  blossoms.  Watering  also  helps,  especially 
during  dry  spells. 


On  the  whole,  sandy  soils  are  best  for  evergreens,  al¬ 
though  only  a  few  are  adapted  to  poor  soils.  They  prefer 
a  rich,  well-drained,  sandy  loam. 

The  one  thing  to  watch  in  transplanting  evergreens  is 
to  keep  the  roots  wet.  If  they  are  a  little  dry  when  they 
arrive,  wet  them,  and  keep  them  well  dampened  until  they 
are  in  the  soil,  and  follow  the  planting  with  plenty  of 
water.  If  they  can  not  be  planted  the  day  they  arrive, 
dig  a  trench  and  cover  the  roots  tightly  with  burlap  and 
a  few  inches  of  dirt  and  water.  To  plant,  dig  a  hole 
twice  as  large  as  is  necessary,  and  fill  with  good  loam 
until  there  is  just  room  enough  for  the  roots.  Place  the 
tree  in  the  hole,  and  remove  the  bag  after  it  is  in.  Spread 
out  the  roots  if  they  are  not  in  a  ball  of  dirt.  Pill  in 
with  good  loam  soil,  packing  it  tight,  and  watering  con¬ 
siderably.  The  ground  around  the  tree  should  be  thor¬ 
oughly  soaked  twice  a  week. 

Shade  Trees 
and  Shrubs 

Deciduous  tree  require¬ 
ments  are  very  much  the 
same  as  evergreens,  except 
that  there  is  more  vari¬ 
ation  in  soil  requirements. 
However,  a  rich  soil,  with 
plenty  of  watering,  is  de¬ 
sirable  in  all  plants.  If  the 
trees  are  large  and  are  likely 
to  be  blown  over  easily,  it 
is  best  to  brace  them  with 
guy  wires,  taking  care  to 
have  the  tree  well  protected  where  the  wire  is  fastened. 
Prune  the  tops  after  planting.  Cut  out  interfering  branches 
and  about  one-third  of  the  previous  year’s  growth. 


In  the  fall,  after  the  stems  have  turned  brown,  the 
bulbs  may  be  dug  and  stored  in  a  cool  cellar  for  the 
winter.  Frost  or  drying  heat  will  kill  the  bulbs.  After 
they  have  been  stored  six  weeks,  the  tops  may  be  cut  off. 

Irises 

The  sunny,  well-drained  locations  are  best  for  Irises. 
The  soil,  of  course  should  be  rich.  Manuring,  or  other 
fertilizers  such  as  bone  meal  or  finely  ground  limestone 
may  be  worked  into  the  soil,  but  kept  away  from  the 
Rhyzomes.  The  plants  will  not  live  in  standing  water, 
or  a  wet  soil. 

Planting 

After  the  bed  has  been  well  prepared,  plant  the  Rhi¬ 
zomes  just  below  the  surface,  spreading  out  the  roots, 
and  packing  the  dirt  well  around  them.  Irises  are  always 
planted  shallow,  and  are  injured  by  manures  and  fertili¬ 
zers  that  are  too  strong.  Although  the  best  time  to  plant 
is  August  and  September,  giving  the  roots  time  to  de¬ 
velop  before  winter,  they  may  be  planted  any  time  of 
year,  except  when  in  bloom,  or  when  the  ground  is  frozen.
