For  Your  Garden  In  1929 


To  Our  Customer  Friends: — This  visit  of  the  Templin-Bradley  annual  catalog  to  your  home 
marks  the  fifty- third  year  that  Mr.  Templin  has  been  sending  similar  messengers  to  custom¬ 


ers  all  over  America. 


Make  it  Better 


I  think  that  at  no  other  time 
of  the  year  is  Mr.  Templin 
happier  than  the  day  the  catalog  has  been  completed  and  the 
first  copies  received  in  our  office  from  the  printers.  He  has 
come  into  my  office  every  year  since  I  have  been  associated 
with  him,  with  one  of  the  first  copies  in  his  hand  and  said 
something  like  this,  “Now,  Floyd,  don’t  this  catalog  please 
you?  I  think  people  just  can’t  help  liking  it.”  But  the  next 
year,  when  we  start  to  make  up  the  catalog,  he  always  urges 
us  to  make  it  better  and  to  put  in  more  information  which 
will  be  useful  to  those  who  receive  it. 

a-")  Dortpc  That  spirit  of  Mr.  Templin’s,  to 

iVlUTC  1  dgCa  always  strive  to  do  better,  is 
responsible  for  the  growth  of  this  business  just  as  sure  as  sure 
can  be.  It  is  the  spirit  which  moved  us  to  add  thirty-two 
pages  to  our  catalog  this  year,  so  that  we  could  tell  you  a 
great  deal  more  about  how  to  succeed  with  the  seeds,  bulbs 
and  shrubs  we  offer  for  your  garden.  For  example,  we  have 
room  for  more  charts  this  year  like  the  Annual  Flower  Seed 
Chart  on  pages  32  and  33,  which  have  been  so  popular. 
There  is  one  devoted  to  vines  on  page  35.  These  charts  will 
help  you  to  make  your  selection  of  varieties  to  be  planted 
and  to  decide  upon  a  location  for  each.  Another  Perennial 
Plant  Chart  on  pages  106  and  107  covers  the  leading  per¬ 
ennial  items  in  our  nursery  department.  If  I  were  in  your 
place,  I  would  take  a  few  minutes  to  get  acquainted  with 
these  special  features  in  this  catalog.  I  believe  if  you  would 
do  so,  you  would  want  to  keep  this  catalog  among  your 
valuable  books  for  a  long  time  to  come. 

A  2  Story  Addition  5?  2K  "tfSTS 

build  an  addition  so  that  we  would  have  even  better  facilities 
for  our  nursery  department,  or,  as  some  call  it,  our  bulb  and 
shrub  department.  Now  that  addition  is  a  fact,  for  on 
January  first,  the  contractors  turned  over  to  us  a  fine,  new, 
two-story  fireproof  building.  This  is  connected  right  up  to 
the  rest  of  the  plant,  so  that  you  might  say  it  is  really  all 
under  one  roof.  Visitors  engaged  in  this  business  have  told  us 
in  the  past  that  we  had  the  finest  working  layout  in  America 
for  the  handling  of  this  business  and  I  feel  confident  that 
when  they  see  the  new  addition,  they  will  be  even  more 
enthusiastic. 

Dari  irk  1  wonder  if  you  have  ever 
\JVer  me  l\.aaiO  been  able  to  pick  us  up  over 
the  radio?  Of  course,  not  all  of  you  can  do  this,  because  we 
have  customers  in  every  state  in  the  Union  and  of  course 
there  are  many  interferences  for  those  of  you  who  live  a  long 
distance  from  Cleveland.  This  is  the  sixth  season  we  have 
used  the  Radio  to  keep  in  closer  touch  with  our  customers. 
If  you  are  a  radio  fan,  tune  in  on  the  sister  stations,  WTAM 
and  WEAR  of  Cleveland.  Each  Thursday  evening  at  9:30, 


Eastern  Standard  Time,  beginning  January  third  and  running 
into  May,  we  take  you  into  the  living  room  of  my  home  at 
1553  Arthur  Avenue,  Lakewood,  Ohio,  and  there  the  Templin- 
Bradley  String  Trio  will  give  you  a  program  of  the  most  pleas¬ 
ing  music  we  know  how  to  offer.  People  have  asked  me  why 
I  give  these  programs  from  my  home  instead  of  the  studio  of 
WTAM.  Well,  just  to  be  different.  That  is  all.  The  idea  is 
original  with  me,  and  so  far  as  I  know,  no  other  program  is 
handled  in  just  this  way  in  America.  I  think  it  gives  me  the 
sort  of  feeling  one  has  when  he  entertains  friends  in  his  own 
home  and  I  hope  our  listemers  eaten  the  same  feeling.  At  any 
rate,  they  offer  the  opportunity  for  you  to  get  acquainted  over 
the  air — to  hear  my  voice  and  to  realize  that  The  Templin- 
Bradley  Co.,  is  something  more  than  just  a  catalog  or  a  place 
to  buy  seeds  and  plants.  Then,  too,  the  Templin-Bradley 
Radio  Garden  Club  has  a  series  of  daily  sessions  which  I  con¬ 
duct  from  my  own  office  beginning  about  the  middle  of  March 
and  running  for  about  two  months. 

Prices  Include  Delivery  ww H fefoS 

you  buy,  how  much  you  are  to  pay.  Our  prices  on  Seeds, 
Bulbs  and  Shrubs,  include  delivery.  No  postage,  express  or 
freight  charges  to  pay  later. 

No  Middleman’s  Profit 

person  or  organization  gets  one  cent  of  premium  or  commis¬ 
sion  on  your  order.  Every  price  quoted  is  as  low  as  quality 
will  permit.  Our  customers  like  this  policy  of  rock-bottom 
prices. 

When  Do  We  Deliver? 

your  order  is  received.  Bulbs,  Shrubs,  Roses,  Roots,  Vines 
from  our  Nursery  Department  will  be  shipped  from  our  main 
plant  when  danger  of  freezing  has  passed.  See  page  86. 

TTrkYir  tn  You  will  find  two  colored  Order 

J.xtJ'V  Wruer  Blanks  in  the  back  of  this  catalog, 

bound  in,  but  perforated  so  you  can  take  them  out  easily 
when  you  need  them.  The  second  one  is  for  use  in  case  you 
find  later  in  the  season,  after  your  first  order  is  in,  that  you 
need  something  else.  When  you  are  ready  to  order,  tear  out 
the  first  Order  Blank,  print  or  write  your  full  name  and  full 
address  in  the  spaces  provided  at  the  top.  Then  fist  the  seeds, 
bulbs  and  shrubs  you  need.  Please  note  that  before  the  name 
of  every  variety  in  the  catalog,  a  number  appears.  If  you 
wish,  you  need  only  write  the  numbers  and  need  not  write 
out  the  long  plant  names  unless  you  wish  to  do  so.  But  we  like 
to  have  you  use  the  numbers  because  it  helps  us  to  fill  orders 
faster  and  accurately.  Send  us  the  order  in  the  tough,  self- 
addressed  envelope  which  we  enclose.  Y ou  may  pay  by  Money 
Order,  Check,  or,  if  you  must  send  cash,  be  sure  to  register 
the  envelope.  Remember,  the  second  order  blank  is  for 
use  if  you  wish  to  order  after  your  first  order  is  in. 

WllPtl  Orrl Your  catalog  is  sent  to 

””  iltA1  yOU  before  planting  time 

so  you  can  make  up  your  order  with  the  least  amount  of 
rush.  Then,  too,  we  like  early  orders  because  it  helps  us 
to  spread  out  our  work  over  a  longer  time  than  if  every¬ 
body  waited  until  planting  time.  But  order  any  time 
between  now  and  June  first,  and  we  will  take  good  care 
of  your  order.

Even  if  you  are  an  old  customer,  it  may  never  have  occured  to  you  that  you  have  never  received  a 
request  from  us  for  a  testimonial  concerning  your  success  with  our  stock.  But  that  fact  makes  one  of  our 
most  prized  possessions,  the  file  full  of  voluntary  testimonials  we  receive  every  year. 

These  letters,  coming  as  they  do  from  the  hearts  of  men  and  women  just  like  you,  point  clearly  to  us  the 
way  we  must  go  if  we  are  to  deserve  to  receive  your  order  for  seeds,  bulbs,  shrubs  or  accessories.

and  “SERVICE”  are  not  IDLE  words  at  Templin-Bradley's 
place  of  business. 

If  you  ever  have  an  opportunity  to  do  so,  we  want  you  to 
come  in  and  see  for  yourself,  many  more  things  than  we  can 
tell  you  here.  Tourists  stop  in  so  frequently  to  pay  us  such  a 
visit,  that  we  believe  you,  too,  would  find 
such  a  trip  through  our  buildings 
highly  interesting. 


These  same  letters  justify  the  attention  we  pay  to  quality  and 
the  investment  in  buildings,  machinery  and  equipment  to 
enable  us  to  fill  orders  promptly,  seasonably  and' accurately. 
When  you  know  that  in  a  single  day  during  our  busy  spring 
season,  we  shall  receive  more  than  7,500  orders  from  people 
like  you,  who  have  faith  in  our  ability  to  supply  what 
they  need  for  their  garden,  you  will  realize 
that  the  words,  “QUALITY”  - - - - 


When  you  buy  from  us,  you 
have  a  right  to  assume  that  you 
will  receive  good  service,  and 
you’ll  get  it.  But  few  people 
know  what  is  involved  in 
bringing  this  about. 

It  begins  in  some  cases  two  or 
three  years  before  we  get  your 
order,  for  on  some  items  we 
have  to  begin  to  prepare  for 
stock  that  far  ahead. 

Then  the  harvesting  and  bring¬ 
ing  here  to  Cleveland  for  curing 
and  packeting,  and  labeling  and 
storing,  the  vast  quantity  of 
seeds,  bulbs  and  plants. 

In  1916,  we  moved  into  the  first 
unit  of  our  own  new  building. 
In  1918  we  added  two  stories. 
In  1919  we  added  a  one-story 
unit.  And  on  January  first  of 
this  year,  two  stories  which  will 
enable  us  to  handle  our  bulb 
and  shrub  department,  better 
than  ever. 


Quality 

In  most  everything  else  you  buy 
the  quality  of  the  object  is  quite 
evident  upon  careful  examina¬ 
tion.  But  dormant  seeds,  bulbs, 
roots  and  plants  do  not  yield 
their  secrets  of  quality  until 
they  have  been  planted  and 
growing  for  some  time. 

That  is  the  reason  that  one  of  the 
most  interesting  phases  of  our 
job  of  maintaining  quality  for 
you  is  the  time  we  spend  in  test¬ 
ing  for  germination,  here  in  the 
building,  the  testing  for  type, 
color,  size,  productivity  and 
general  desirability  at  our  trial 
grounds  on  the  outskirts  of  the 
city  and  in  visiting  our  produc¬ 
ers’  fields  in  this  country  and 
Europe. 

None  of  this  work  is  obvious  to 
our  thousands  of  customers. 
But  it  is  absolutely  necessary  in 
order  to  protect  the  good  name 
which  Mr.  Templin  began  to 
build  up  fifty-three  years  ago 
when  he  started  in  business  for 
himself.

You  Can  Grow  Flowers 


And  Grow  Them  Well,  Without  Greenhouse  or  Expert  Skill 

TVi  Tmr  of  We  take  it  for  granted  that  you  like 

lncjuy  Ulfiuwer^  flowers  and  want  to  grow  them. 

Who  does  not  like  to  see  the  gay  colors  in  their  garden,  nor  have  the  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  pick  bouquet  after  bouquet  for  the  house  from  Spring  until  late  Fall 
frosts  draw  a  curtain  over  garden  activities?  No  business  man  is  too  busy  to 
enjoy  a  few  minutes  of  relaxation,  or  a  half-hour  exercise  among  flowers. 

People  in  every  walk  of  life  can  find  recreation  there. 

With  Seeds  of  Finest  Quality 

T ft  fU  p  Do  p  |r  pf  Did  you  ever  think  of  just  what  is  contained  in  each  packet  of 
A JVtl  seed?  Isn’t  it  really  wonderful  what  is  stored  up  in  the  little 
gray,  or  brown  or  black  seed?  The  seeds  are  collected  from  all  over  the  world,  covering  thou¬ 
sands  of  miles  in  their  travels.  In  some  sections  of  this  country  and  in  Europe  there  are  families 
growing  seeds  following  the  trade  of  their  great  grandfathers,  each  generation  improving  the 
product  to  bring  the  beautiful  flowers  that  we  have  today. 

Flower  seeds  we  obtain  from  those  parts  of  the  world  where  conditions  and  knowledge  produce 
the  best  strains.  But  these  seeds  may  be  planted  anywhere  in  our  country  from  Maine 
to  Texas  with  the  assurance  that  fine  flowers  will  be  produced.  There  is  a  wide  differ¬ 
ence  between  seed  production  and  flower  production  from  that  seed. 

There  is  an  almost  unbelievable  amount  of  time  and  effort  going  into  each  packet  of  seed. 

Where  can  you  find  a  more  profitable  bargain?  Where  can  you  find  anything  that  is  so  easily 
and  cheaply  purchased — and  yet  will  give  you  so  much  in  return? 

Some  to  enjoy  one  year,  some  for  permanent  plantings 

TnfPP  (ifniltlQ  Annuals,  Biennials,  Perennials.  The  annuals  are  vari- 
u  eties  that  live  their  entire  life  in  one  year.  You  plant  the  seed 

in  Spring,  they  give  bloom  and  die  in  the  fall.  The  Biennials  live  two  years,  the  Perennials  three 
years  or  more.  The  Annuals  are  used  mostly  for  cutting  as  they  bloom  so  long — while  the 
perennials  make  up  the  permanent  plantings.  One  excellent  arrangement  is  to  have  a  per¬ 
manent  planting  of  perennials  as  a  background  in  front  of  which  you  plant  annuals — changing 
the  varieties  each  year.  This  gives  you  a  different  effect  each  season  at  the  least  outlay  of 
time  and  money.  In  our  catalog  Biennials  and  Perennials  are  grouped  apart  from  Annuals.

separate  colors  where  you  find  them  listed.  Blue  flowers  are  very  popular  now — and  we  say 
the  same  for  the  flowers  of  Gold  and  Yellow  shades.  Then  each  season  under  the  heading  of 
Novelties  and  Specialties  we  include  a  few  of  the  better  recently  introduced  varieties.  These

Detailed  Annual  Flower  Cultures 

The  following  cultures  for  growing  flowers  refer  to  the  second  column  of  the  flower  chart  on  pages  32  and 
33,  and,  used  in  connection  with  this  chart,  wilLbe  very  useful  to  you  in  obtaining  the  best  results  from 
your  seed.  • 

The  exact  time  of  starting  seeds  is  not  important,  but  if  you 
started  about  six  weeks  before  it  is  usually  safe  to  plant  out¬ 
doors,  the  plants  will  be  about  the  right  size  for  setting  out. 


A  Start  the  seed  in  the  open  garden  right  where  the  plants 
"  are  to  stand.  Wait  until  danger  of  frost  is  past  and  the 
soil  is  warm  and  worked  fine.  When  the  fruit  trees  are  in 
blossom  it  is  usually  safe  to  start  flower  seed  outdoors.  If  the 
seed  is  fine,  barely  cover  to  a  depth  of  about  four  times  the 
diameter  of  the  seed.  In  either  case  firm  the  soil  over  the 
seed  to  bring  up  the  moisture. 

It  is  an  excellent  plan  to  lay  a  piece  of  burlap  or  other  coarse 
cloth  or  newspapers,  right  over  the  seed  bed  to  hold  the 
moisture  and  prevent  baking  before  the  tiny  plants  appear 
above  the  surface. 

When  the  little  plants  come  up,  pull  out  some  and  transplant 
if  they  stand  too  thickly.  Keep  the  soil  loose  around  the  plants. 
The  flowers  of  this  class  will  bloom  earlier  if  the  seed  is  started 
in  a  window-box  or  hot-bed  for  transplanting  outside  when 
weather  permits. 

T>  To  get  the  benefit  of  the  longest  season  of  bloom  the  seed 
should  be  started  early  inside  before  weather  permits 
outdoor  planting.  If  you  have  a  hot-bed,  start  the  'seed  in 
that.  If  not,  use  a  box  of  light  soil  in  a  sunny  window  of  a 
warm  room.  Press  the  seed  into  the  soil  and  keep  it  moist. 
Lay  a  newspaper  over  the  box  to  prevent  evaporation,  but 
remove  it  as  soon  as  the  tiny  plants  appear.  When  they  have 
two  or  three  leaves,  transplant  them  into  other  boxes  or  pots 
and  then  outdoors  after  the  soil  is  warm  and  danger  of  frost 
is  past. 


P  Sow  the  seeds  directly  outdoors  where  the  plants  are  to 
^  stand  after  the  soil  is  warm  and  danger  of  frost  is  past. 
Make  the  soil  fine  and  press  seed  firmly  into  it.  In  the  case 
of  fine  seed,  lay  a  cloth  or  newspaper  over  the  soil  to  prevent 
evaporation,  removing  this  as  soon  as  the  tiny  plants  appear. 
Stir  the  soil  around  them  to  prevent  the  surface  hardening, 
and  thin  out  if  they  need  it.  Be  careful  in  doing  this  not  to 
disturb  the  roots  of  the  plants  that  remain,  as  they  resent 
this  treatment. 

Make  several  later  sowings  for  continued  bloom  throughout 
the  summer  and  fall. 

DThe  seed  of  these  flowers  may  be  sown  early  directly 
outdoors — as  early  as  the  soil  is  in  good  workable  condi¬ 
tion.  It  is  better  to  sow  them  right  where  the  plants  are  to 
stand,  thinning  them  out  if  crowded,  and  keeping  the  soil 
loose  around  them. 

To  get  earlier  blooms,  sow  the  seed  in  the  fall.  It  will  germ¬ 
inate  and  come  up  quickly  in  the  spring,  so  that  the  plants 
are  in  bloom  long  before  those  from  spring  sown  seed. 

:  This  class  of  flowers  will  reseed  themselves  if  the  seeds  are 
allowed  to  develop  and  mature  on  the  plant.

Success  With  Flowers 


Getting  the  best  results  from  your  flowers  is  not  entirely  a  matter  of  soil  condition  nor  of  fertilizing, 
although  of  course  these  help  greatly;  but  often  the  success  of  a  plant  depends  in  greater  part  in  getting 
it  properly  started.  In  the  following  paragraphs  Mr.  Templin  gives  you  the  benefit  of  his  years  of  ex¬ 
perience  in  growing,  and  surely  there  should  be  some  of  this  information  that  will  be  helpful  to  you  in 
giving  your  plants  the  proper  start  to  enable  them  to  produce  for  you  more  and  better  flowers. 


Let  Mr.  Templin  Tell  You 

About  Growing  Flowers  from  Seed 


In  order  that  our  many  patrons  may  be  more  successful  with  our  seeds,  I  am  devoting  this  page  to  genera) 
instructions  and  suggestions  which  I  trust  will  be  helpful.  Many  varieties  of  flower  seed  require  conditions 
that  are  not  available  in  the  ordinary  home  that  can  be  provided  at  a  nominal  cost. 

The  general  rule  is  to  cover  the  seed  two  or  three  times  the 
diameter  of  the  seed.  Sow  the  seed  evenly  and  cover  by 
drawing  the  soil  over  the  seed  and  pressing  down  with  the 


Starting  Plants  Early 

There  are  a  number  of  varieties  of  annuals  that  should  be 
started  early  before  weather  conditions  permit  outside  plant¬ 
ing,  in  order  to  get  the  benefit  of  the  longest  possible  bloom¬ 
ing  season.  In  this  class  we  would  include  Antirrhinum  or 
Snapdragon,  Carnations,  Celosia,  China  Pinks,  Lobelia, 
Pansies,  Petunias  (especially  the  double  and  ruffled  types), 
Salpiglossis,  Stocks,  Verbenas,  etc.  We  would  also  include 
Houseplant  Seed  in  the  list  given  on  page  9. 

The  accompanying  illustration  shows  a  very  convenient 
method  of  starting  seeds  in  the  house.  A  shallow  box  or 
“flat,”  as  it  is  usually  called.  It  may  be  made  in  various 
sizes  to  accommodate  the  number  of  varieties  to  be  planted. 
The  one  illustrated  is  18x24  inches,  and  3  inches  deep.  By 
making  the  rows  2  inches  apart,  it  will  hold  11  varieties. 
Place  the  flat  on  a  small 
stand  in  front  of  a  sunny 
south  window  of  the  living 
room.  Fill  about  three- 
fourths  full  of  fine,  mellow 
sandy  soil  that  has  been 
previously  sifted,  press 
down  firmly,  making  the 
surface  even  and  smooth. 

Now  mark  out  the  rows 
two  inches  apart  and 
about  a  quarter  inch  deep, 
using  an  ordinary  foot 
ruler  or  a  piece  of  plas-. 
tering  lath.  Press  down 
and  draw  the  ruler  back 
and  forth,  endwise,  two 
or  three  times,  until  the 
row  is  the  required  depth.

fingers.  Very  fine  seed  like  Petunia,  Lobelia,  Begonia,  etc., 
should  be  sown  on  the  surface  and  pressed  into  the  soil  with 
the  palm  of  the  hand. 

The  atmosphere  in  the  ordinary  living  room  is  usually  very 
dry-  By  using  a  pane  of  glass,  18x24,  to  cover  the  flat,  you 
will  produce  the  ideal  greenhouse  moisture  and  temperature, 
just  the  condition  in  which  the  seed  will  germinate  freely. 
Care  should  be  taken,  however,  to  remove  the  glass  frequently 
after  the  plants  are  up,  as  they  will  require  the  fresh  air  to 
produce  sturdy,  healthy  plants. 

The  above  instructions  are  for  those  who  are  not  so  fortu¬ 
nate  as  to  have  a  hot-bed  or  conservatory.  Do  not  start  the 
plants  too  early.  The  1st  to  10th  of  April  is  about  right  in 
the  latitude  of  Cleveland. 
It  will  require  about  six 
weeks  to  grow  the  plants 
ready  to  plant  outside 
about  May  15th.  When 
the  plants  are  large 
enough  to  handle,  trans¬ 
plant  according  to  direc¬ 
tions  given  below.  When 
the  weather  begins  to 
warm  up  the  last  of  April, 
set  these  flats  on  the 
ground  outside,  watering 
when  necessary  and  cov¬ 
ering  when  danger  of 
frost,  and  you  will  have 
sturdy,  healthy  plants, 
ready  to  plant  in  the 
garden. 


House  Plants  from  Seed 


Growing  house  plants  from  seed  is  not  diffi¬ 
cult,  and  is  very  interesting  from  the  sowing 
of  seed  until  the  plants  have  come  into 
bloom. 

Use  shallow  pans  or  boxes  filled  with  good  garden 
soil  mixed  with  much  leaf  mold  and  some  sand. 
Cover  the  finer  seed  very  lightly.  Water  very 
lightly  and  keep  them  only  moist.  It  is 


advantage  to  cover  the  pans  or  boxes  with  a  pane 
of  glass  until  the  plants  appear,  being  sure  they 
have  some  ventilation.  A  little  of  the  morning  sun 
is  beneficial  but  they  should  not  be  allowed  to  get 
too  warm.  Transplant  the  small  plants  into  small 
pots  and  later  into  large  pots.  Do  not  force  the 
plants  when  young  for  they  must  develop  their 
root  system  first. 

See  page  9  for  list  of  House  Plants  that  can  be  easily  grown  from  seed.

Sowing  Flower  Seed  in 
the  Garden 

There  are  two  general  classes  of  annual  flowers  and  the  time 
to  sow  the  seed  depends  on  the  class.  See  Flower  Seed 
Chart,  pages  32  and  33.  In  Class  Column,  varieties  marked 
H.  A.  are  Hardy  Annuals.  These  should  be  sown  as  early  as 
the  soil  can  be  prepared.  Varieties  marked  T.  A.  are  tender 
annuals  and  should  not  be  planted  until  the  soil  is  permanently 
warm,  when  apple  trees  are  in  full  bloom  is  a  safe  rule  to 
follow. 

For  best  success,  sow  the  seed  in  cold  frames  in  well  prepared 
light  sandy  loam.  The  size  of  the  frame  depends  on  quantity 
of  plants  wanted.  A  frame  3x6  ft.  will  grow  sufficient  plants 
for  the  ordinary  home.  For  early  sowing  cover  with  a  3x6 
hotbed  sash.  For  general  sowing  about  May  1st,  cover  the 
frame  with  2  yards  of  muslin,  to  protect  from  dashing  rain 
and  the  raw  drying  winds.  Select  a  warm  sunny  location, 
on  south  or  east  side  of  building.  The  general  instructions 
above  for  the  house,  will  apply  for  cold  frames,  except  that 
rows  should  be  3  or  4  inches  apart.  One  of  the  most  success¬ 
ful  growers  the  writer  ever  knew,  always  called  the  young 
plants  his  “babies,”  an  expression  that  fits  the  occasion. 
Watchful  care  is  necessary  for  success. 

Fall  Sowing  of  Annuals 

Some  of  the  hardier  annuals  may  be  sown  in  the 
fall  and  when  treated  in  this  way  will  germi¬ 
nate  early  in  the  spring  and  come  into  bloom 
much  earlier  than  when  sown  in  the  spring.  A 
list  of  these  varieties  are  given  on  page  9. 

A  light  mulch  over  the  seed  bed  in  this  case 
is  very  beneficial.

ANNUALS

Transplanting  Seedlings 
into  the  Garden 

After  your  seeds  begin  to  germinate,  other  problems  present 
themselves.  They  may  be  so  thick  that  they  will  not  have  room 
to  grow  large  enough  to  plant  out  into  the  garden,  if  they  are 
•  they  should  be  transplanted  into  other  flats  or  boxes.  As  soon 
as  they  show  their  third  leaf,  they  should  be  set  2  to  3  inches 
apart  each  way,  handling  them  very  carefully  for  they  are 
very  tender  at  this  age;  keep  the  moisture  condition  even, 
and  they  will  quickly  grow  to  nice  size  to  set  into  your  garden. 
As  soon  as  the  weather  permits  and  as  soon  as  your  garden 
soil  is  in  proper  condition  to  work  nicely  they  can  be  taken 
to  the  graden  for  their  final  transplanting . 

The  soil  in  the  flats  should  be  moist  enough  to  hold  together 
nicely,  but  not  soggy;  cut  the  soil  in  the  flats  into  squares, 
keeping  as  much  earth  on  the  plant  as  possible ;  gently  place 
the  cube  of  earth,  with  the  plant  in  the  center,  in  the  hole  that 
you  have  prepared  for  it  and  fill  in  around  it  with  good  fine 
earth  firming  it  gently  with  the  thumbs  but  not  packing 
enough  to  disturb  the  cube  of  moist  earth  on  the  roots  of  the 
plant.  Keep  them  moist  and  they  should  keep  right  on  grow¬ 
ing. 

Difficult  to  Transplant 

All  varieties  of  Poppies,  Eschscholtzia  and  Mig¬ 
nonette  are  exceedingly  difficult  to  transplant, 
therefore,  should  be  sown  where  they  are  to 
bloom.  As  a  general  rule  all  climbing  vines  should 
also  be  planted  where  they  are  to  remain.  With 
these  varieties  care  should  be  used  to  sow  the  seed 
thin  so  that  no  more  plants  will  have  to  be  thinned 
out  than  necessary.

For  years  we  have  prided  ourselves  on  the  quality  of  the  Aster  Seed 
which  our  customers  were  able  to  get  from  us.  This  year  we  are 
increasing  our  list  of  varieties  and  putting  still  greater  stress  on 
our  efforts  for  Quality.  You  can  grow  Asters  that  you  will  be  proud 
of  from  our  seeds.  Early,  midseason  and  late  types  are  offered  — 
types  for  borders  and  long  stemmed  varieties  for  cutting. 

CULTURE — Aster  seed  should  be  sown  in  boxes  and  plants  raised  indoors 
for  transplanting  into  the  garden  when  the  weather  becomes  thoroughly 
settled.  General  culture  for  raising  plants  is  given  fully  on  page  8.  In 
raising  Aster  plants  particular  care  should  be  taken  when  sowing  the  seed 
in  boxes  to  cover  very  shallow,  only  enough  to  completely  hide  the  seed 
An  even  temperature  of  about  60°  should  be  maintained  but  do  not  use 
any  bottom  heat.  Care  should  be  exercised  throughout  the  growing  season 
not  to  allow  the  Aster  plant  to  be  checked  in  growth  at  any  time  for  this 
is  almost  disastrous  to  their  future  production  of  blooms.

THE  ASTER  IS  THE  QUEEN  OF  CUT  FLOWERS— TRY  SOME  OF  THE  NEW  TYPES 


Antirrhinum  or  Snapdragon- 


Without  doubt  the  Antirrhinums  are  among  the  most  desirable  flowers  for  general 
garden  culture.  With  the  glorious  new  varieties  that  have  been  recently  introduced, 
there  is  little  left  to  be  desired  in  coloring  and  size  of  piant  and  flower  spike. 
“Snaps”  are  not  hard  to  grow.  For  earliest  blooms  start  seed  inside  for  later  trans¬ 
planting,  but  you  can  have  good  results  by  planting  seed  directly  outdoors  when  soil 
is  warm.  The  seed  is  fine,  so  cover  lightly  and  keep  moist.  You  will  have  more  and 
finer  flowers  if  you  pinch  back  the  tops  of  the  plants  when  they  are  3  or  4  inches  high. 

Antirrhinum  Maximum  or  Giant  Type 

This  new  type  of  Giant  Flowering  is  a  great  advance  over  the  old  Snapdragons.  They  are

defies  description.  Do  not  fail  to  include  some  of  these  in  your  garden  for  this  year  they  will 
delight  and  please  you.

Cosmos  is  one  of  the  most  popular  tall  growing  annuals  used  for  backgrounds  and 
screens.  The  plant  formation  and  the  foliage  is  pretty — and  the  flowers  in  Red, 
Pink,  Rose  and  White  make  excellent  mass  bouquets.  For  earliest  results  start  seed 
indoors,  though  the  plants  will  flower  in  late  summer  and  fall  from  sowings  made  out¬ 
doors.  They  grow  4  to  6  ft.  tall,  and  may  be  spaced  3  to  4  ft.  apart.

tall  annuals  that  serve  their  purpose  as  well  as 
the  Cosmos.  They  are  graceful  and  attractive 
during  all  stages  of  their  growth.  By  contin¬

Nasturtiums 


Nicotiana 


For  summer  display  in  large  or  small  beds,  nothing  can  sur¬ 
pass  Nasturtiums.  They  start  to  bloom  early  and  keep  up  a 
continuous  display  of  bright  colored  flowers  until  hard  frost  in 
fall.  You  can  grow  them  in  practically  any  garden  soil.  Plant 
the  seed  after  soil  is  warm,  covering  an  inch  deep  and  dropping 
a  couple  of  seeds  every  3  inches.  They  should  not  be  trans¬ 
planted.  Cut  the  Nasturtiums  freely  and  they  will  bloom 
better.  Do  not  pull  them  from  the  vines  but  snip  them  off.

Growing  the  Finest  Pansies 


25 


CULTURE — Pansies  do  best  in  a  rich  loamy  soil, 
moist  but  not  wet.  Beds  should  be  worked  up 
loosely  8  inches  deep  and  humus,  or  well-rotted 
manure  worked  in.  Seed  may  be  sown  in  the  garden 
as  early  as  the  ground  can  be  worked  up  fine  or 
may  be  started  inside  in  boxes  for  earlier  plants. 

After  sowing  cover  very  lightly  with  fine  soil  or 
sand  and  keep  moist,  this  is  important  for  pansy 
seed  if  allowed  to  dry  out  during  the  first  15  or  20 
days  will  invariably  die.  Pansies  may  be  sown  in 
the  same  manner  in  July  or  August  and  carried 
through  winter  by  mulching  with  straw  or  leaves.

not  run  out  like  the  common  Pansy.  Flowers  are  not  quite  as  large  as  Pansies,  but  are  produced

1835  Double  Fringed  Petunias 

For  years  it  has  been  the  aim  of  growers  to  produce  a  perfect  strain  of  double  flowering 
Petunias.  The  beauties  still  do  not  come  100  per  cent  double  from  seed  but -we  get  60  to 
70  per  cent  of  the  best  flowers  in  our  trial  ground  tests.  These  are  large  and  as  double 
as  Double  Hollyhocks  with  the  petals  fringed  and  waved.  They  come  in  many  colors 
large  yet  delicate  and  fluffy.  They  are  always  the  center  of  attraction  wherever  they  are

The  Finest  Sweet  Peas 


Snowball 


For  distinctive  beauty  and  exquisite  fragrance  the  Sweet  Pea  has  no  rival.  We  sell 
more  packets  of  Sweet  Peas  annually  than  any  other  flower.  You  can  have  Sweet 
Peas  in  your  own  garden  just  as  fine  as  those  of  the  florist.  Pick  the  flowers  fre¬ 
quently  for  abundant  bloom.  One  ounce  will  plant  a  single  row  25  feet  long. 

CULTURE  OF  SWEET  PEAS — Success  with  Sweet  Peas  is  not  difficult  but  you 
must  be  very  careful  in  their  planting  and  culture.  The  ordinary  method  is  to 
trench  4  to  5  inches  deep,  sow  the  seeds,  and  cover  to  within  1  or  2  inches  of  the 
surface  gradually  filling  trench  as  plants  grow.  But  for  fine  blooms  and  a  long 
blooming  season,  you  must  prepare  the  soil  deeper.  To  bloom  during  the  hot 
weather  Sweet  Peas  must  have  a  deep  root  system  started  early  in  the  spring. 
So  prepare  your  trenches  deep,  removing  the  top  soil  and  loosen  up  the  subsoil 
working  into  it  some  well  rotted  manure,  replace  to  top  soil  in  the  trench  leaving 
it  4  or  5  inches  deep. 

Sow  your  seed  in  bottom  of  this  trench,  12  to  15  seed  to  the  foot  for  each  row  and 
for  double  row  space  from  1  to  3  inches  between  rows,  then  cover  seed  2  or  3  inches 
and  as  vines  grow  gradually  fill  up  to  the  level.  Sweet  Peas  must  be  sown  early 
in  the  spring  to  get  the  best  results,  just  as  early  as  you  can  possibly  work 
your  soil.

THE  TEMPLIN-BRADLEY  CO.,  NATIONWIDE  SEEDSMEN  AND  NURSERYMEN,  CLEVELAND,  OHIO 


A  Plant  of  Dwarf  Double  Zinnias 


-  Templin-Bradley’s  Zinnias 

There  is  no  other  plant  that  does  so  well  under  any  and  all  conditions  and  furnishes  so  many  gorgeous  flowers  in 
such  an  array  of  brilliant  colors.  You  can  pick  literally  bushels  of  them  from  a  small  bed  and  still  have  as  many 
left  in  the  garden.  A  good  old-fashioned  flower  greatly  improved  with  long  stems  and  unusually  good  keeping 
qualities.  Neither  dry  weather  nor  insects  harm  them  after  once  established. 

CULTURE — Zinnias  can  be  planted  in  the  garden  where  they  are 
to  grow  but  for  early  bloom  they  should  be  started  inside  in  boxes 
earlier  than  they  could  be  put  outdoors.  One  or  two  transplantings 
is  beneficia  1  to  them  for  it  induces  more  root  growth  and  produces  a 
stronger  plant.  Zinnias  will  do  well  in  nearly  any  soil  but  too  rich 
a  soil  will  cause  more  plant  growth  and  fewer  blooms.  If  you  wish 
especially  large  blooms  from  your  Dahlia  flowered  Zinnias  or 
others  snip  off  all  but  two  or  three  of  the  side  branches  and  buds 
and  those  left  will  attain  a  much  larger  size. 

Giant  Dahlia  Zinnias 

The  Dahlia  Flowered  Zinnias  are  immense  in  size,  often  4  to  5 
inches  and  more  in  diameter.  They  are  borne  on  tall  strong  plants 
with  long  stems,  the  flowers  resembling  Decorative  Dahlias. 

The  separate  colors  of  this  type  are  not  quite  100%  true,  there 
being  a  little  variation  in  shade — which  is  not  at  all  a  drawback. 

We  believe  our  strain  is  the  finest  on  the  market.  It  is  from  the 
introducer  who  is  bending  every  effort  to  improve  the  quality 
rather  than  to  shade  the  price  a  little.

soak  the  seed  in  lukewarm  water  for  a  few  hours.

How  and  W^hy  to  Grow  Vines 

Generally  speaking  the  climbing  vines  are  very  easy  of  culture  giving  excellent  results  if  given 
the  proper  start.  Most  of  them  doing  best  if  planted  right  where  they  are  to  grow,  but  some  of 
them  needing  an  earlier  start  if  we  are  to  get  the  greatest  benefit  from  them. 

The  following  cultural  references  as  indicated  by  the  index  number  in  the  second  column  of 
the  above  chart,  will  guide  you  in  the  best  methods  of  starting  each  variety. 

Class  1 :  are  those  that  do  not  transplant  readily  or  usually  suffer  a  check  in  growth  when  trans¬ 
planted  from  which  it  takes  considerable  time  to  recover.  These  are  best  planted  right  where 
they  are  to  remain  and  grow.  With  the  exception  of  Allegheny  Vine  they  should  not  be 
planted  until  weather  is  warm  and  settled  and  the  ground  becomes  dry  enough  to  work  nicely 
without  packing. 

Class  2 :  can  be  treated  the  same  as  class  1  but  do  gain  a  great  advantage  by  being  started  earlier 
indoors  and  obtaining  some  growth  before  it  is  warm  enough  to  put  them  outdoors.  It  is  best 
to  grow  them  in  small  pots,  one  plant  to  the  pot,  so  they  may  be  transplanted  without  disturbing 
the  root  system;  if  they  begin  to  throw  runners,  place  a  small  stake  in  the  pot  and  tie  them  up 
to  it.  Do  not  plant  outside  until  weather  is  warm  and  settled. 

Class  3 :  should  be  started  early  indoors  the  same  as  the  previous  class,  but  should  be  transplanted 
into  larger  pots  (about  4  inch)  and  be  well  established  before  planting  out  in  the  garden.  They 
may  of  course  be  planted  directly  in  the  garden  but  in  most  cases  will  be  more  backward  all 
summer  than  if  well  started. 

Do  not  forget  that  all  the  hard-shelled  seeds  will  start  easier  and  quicker  if  soaked  in  luke¬ 
warm  water  for  a  few  hours  before  planting.  Nick  the  shell  with  a  knife  or  file.  All  vines  are 
heavy  feeders  and  will  greatly  repay  you  for  giving  them  a  rich  soil  in  which  to  grow.

selves.  After  fall  frosts  the  leaves  change  to  bright  tints  of 
scarlets,  orange  and  yellow.  Pkt.  10c.

Roggli’ s  Swiss  Giant  Pansy 


OUR  SEED  COMES  DIRECT 
FROM  THE  INTRODUCER 


Ernst  Roggli,  the  introducer  of  Roggli’s  Swiss 
Giant  Pansy,  with  Floyd  Bradley  in  Switzerland 


When  Mrs.  Bradley  and  I  were  in  Europe  last  summer,  visiting  our 
European  producers  of  seeds,  we  were  much  interested  in  the  fact  that 
a  new  strain  of  Giant  Pansy  had  become  the  most  outstanding  Pansy 
in  every  country  we  visited.  This  was  the  famous  Roggli  Swiss  Giant 
Pansy,  pictured  in  colors  on  the  next  page.  The  size  was  much  greater 
than  any  other  strain  and  the  texture  and  markings  very  unusual. 

It  was  our  pleasure  to  visit  Mr.  Ernst  Roggli  at  his  home  in  Hilterfin- 
gen,  on  Lake  of  Thun,  near  Interlaaken,  Switzerland.  Mr.  Roggli 
was  so  impressed  with  the  nationwide  scope  of  the  Templin-Bradley 
seed  and  nursery  business,  that  he  gladly  contracted  with  us  to  act  as 
his  exclusive  American  distributors  for  the  next  six  years. 

The  value  to  you  of  this  contract,  lies  in  the  fact  that  no  other  European 
Seed  producer  has  been  able  to  *  ‘hold”  the  stock  true  for  more  than  two 
years  as  a  result,  each  year,  they  have  to  obtain  new  stock  seed  from 
Gebruder  Roggli,  in  order  to  maintain  quality.  So  this  makes  it  very 
fortunate  for  our  American  customers  that  they  can  obtain  this  wonder¬ 
ful  new  pansy  in  packets  bearing  the  Originator’s  Seal,  from  us. 

The  amount  of  seed  available  this  spring  is  so  small  that  we  cannot 
supply  in  greater  quantities  than  our  PACKETS,  one  size  containing 
about  90  seeds,  the  large  size  about  500  seeds,  offered  here.  May  I 
urge  that  you.  do  not  let  the  seemingly  high  price  prevent  you  from 
ordering  a  packet  this  year.  I  assure  you,  that  with  good,  rich  soil, 
you  should  be  able  to  produce  flowers  that  are  larger  than  any  pansies 
you  ever  saw.  Remember,  you  cannot  obtain  this  variety  of 
the  Introducer’s  Strain  elsewhere  in  America  or  Europe.

Plant  a  Clump  of  Delphinium 


Chinese  Lantern  Plant  N0atf 

Physalis  Franchetti.  This  is  a  very  interesting  plant 
because  of  the  brightly  colored  seed  pods  which  are  produced 
in  the  fall  and  tinted  by  Jack  Frost.  As  they  hang  on  the 
stem  they  resemble  the  Chinese  Lanterns.  You  can  dry  the 
stems  holding  the  Lanterns  and  have  them  throughout  the 
winter  as  an  interior  decoration.  City  florists  get  a  nice 
price  for  them.  Why  not  grow  a  few  plants  of  vour  own.

Veronica  Longifolia  Noat2 

Blue  Bird  or  Japanese  Speedwell.  This  is  the  best  of  the 
Veronicas  because  of  its  sturdy  habit  and  the  beauty  of  the 
flowers.  The  long_  spikes  of  Lavender  Blue  appear  in  mid- 
July  and  last  well  into  September.  The  flower  spikes  are  6 
to  12  inches  long,  the  whole  plant  reaches  up  2  to  3  feet.

Hardy  Sweet  Peas  N0atJ 

Lathyrus  Latif olius.  One  of  the  prettiest  of  the  uncommon 
hardy  herbaceous  toning  or  trailing  plants.  Although  the 
flowers  are  not  as  large  as  nor  fragrant  like  the  Annual  Sweet 
Peas,  they  are  very  prettily  formed  and  bloom  from  May  to 
July.  The  vines  trail  or  climb  6  to  8  ft.  Excellent  for 
growing  on  fences,  old  stumps  or  low  buildings.

Double  Hollyhocks  Noats 

These  stately  plants  are  almost  a  necessary  part  of  every 
Hardy  Garden.  No  other  plant  can  produce  quite  the  same 
effect.  They  like  a  well  drained,  deeply  prepared  soil. 
Hollyhocks  are  really  biennials  but  they  readily  reseed  them¬ 
selves  so  that  when  once  established  they  are  practically 
permanent.  We  have  a  splendid  collection  of  colors  of  the 
best  doubles.

will  live  long  in  your  garden,  giving  you  an  im¬ 
mense  amount  of  pleasure. 

Notice  that  we  offer  them  in  both  seeds  and  plants. 
If  you  buy  the  plants  you,  of  course,  get  immedi¬ 
ate  results  from  bloom  this  coming  summer.  If 
you  choose  seeds,  some  will  bloom  this  year,  but 
most  kinds  will  not  bloom  until  the  following  year. 


Delphinium  N0at| 

Hardy  Larkspur.  It  is  hard  to  name  a  flower  that  is 
gaining  in  popularity  with  the  same  speed  as  the  wonderful 
Delphiniums.  When  well  established  in  good  soil  the 
spikes  are  immense,  reaching  up  to  4  or  more  feet.  After  the 
June  and  July  crop  of  flowers,  many  gardeners  cut  the  stalks 
down,  feed  a  little  bone  meal,  water  plentifully  and  get  more 
spikes  of  bloom  in  late  summer  and  fall. 

There  are  three  types  or  varieties  included  in  the  color 
illustration.  Belladonna  is  the  light  clear  blue,  Bellamosum 
the  rich  dark  blue,  and  the  third  with  the  lavender  tint  is  one 
of  the  beautiful  Hybrids.

beauty  of  these  flowers,  which  bloom  in  spring  and  early 
summer.  The  plants  grow  2  to  3  ft.  tall,  doing  well  in  sun¬ 
light  or  partial  shade.  This  strain  comprises  a  wide  variation 
in  color  and  the  flowers  are  of  the  most  sought  for  long 
spurred  types.

Pyrethrum  Noat6 

During  June  and  July  these  plants  bear  great  masses  of  daisy¬ 
like  flowers  in  shades  of  pink,  rose  and  pure  white.  They  are 
very  easy  to  grow  and  very  pretty.  If  immediately  after 
blooming  the  stems  and  old  foliage  are  cut  from  the  plant, 
very  often  a  second  crop  is  produced  in  the  fall.  The  plants 
grow  18  to  24  inches  tall.

growing  bushy,  2  to  2J4  ft.  tall  and  bearing  great  quantities 
of  the  large  maroon  and  yellow  daisy- like  flowers,  from  June 
or  July  until  October.  Gaillardias  succeed  almost  anywhere.

blue  and  white  flowers,  which  are  bell  shaped  with  gracefully 
recurved  petals.  The  flowers  average  134  to  3  inches  in 
diameter.

mums,  it  is  too  well  known  to  require  a  long  description.  Our 
seed  and  our  plants  are  produced  from  the  finest  strains  which 
means  that  the  flowers  are  very  large  with  long  petals  but 
comparatively  small  centers.  The  plants  grow  about  2  feet 
tall  and  during  July  and  August  are  practically  covered  with 
the  big  white  yellow  centered  Daisies.

HARDY  HERBACEOUS  PERENNIALS 


This  term  is  used  to  distinguish  that  class  of  plants  whose  life  cycle  is  not  completed  within  one  or  two 
years,  but  grow  year  after  year  increasing  in  beauty  and  size  and  are  hardy  enough  to  withstand  the 
severe  weather  of  the  winters.  _  By  herbaceous  -we  mean,  those  whose  foliage  and  branches  are  renewed 
each  year,  each  fall  the  old  dying  down  to  the  ground  or  nearly  so  and  each  spring  new  growth  being 
made,  larger  and  stronger  and  more  productive  of  beautiful  flowers  than  that  previous. 

kinds  so  that  in  a  few  years  you  will  have  a  nice  collection  of  j 
perennial  flowers  that  do  not  have  to  be  replaced  each  year.  , 

The  Uses  of  Hardy  Perennials 

There  is  no  home  or  garden,  however  large  or  small  where 
some  perennials  cannot  be  used  to  advantage.  Keeping  in 
mind  that  there  is  no  time  during  the  whole  flowering  season 
in  which  some  are  not  in  bloom,  you  will  undoubtedly  at  once  i 
recognize  the  places  in  your  garden  where  something  to  bloom 
at  a.  certain  time  would  be  very  helpful  and  beneficial  to  fill 
out  the  picture  the  season  through.  In  your  shrub  plantings 
there  are  sure  to  be  spaces  that  at  particular  times  of  the 
season  seem  to  need  a  certain  amount  of  help  from  the  herb¬ 
aceous  plants  to  supplement  the  beauty  .of  its  foliage  with 
lively  flowers.  Many  of  the  perennials  are  particularly  good 
used  in  this  way  and  it  is  agreeably  surprising  how  well  they 
fit  in. 

Perhaps  the  most  common  use  of  perennials  is  in  the  old- 
fashioned  garden  or  the  hardy  border  planting.  This  is  the 
location  which  our  grandmothers  likes  them  best  and  appar¬ 
ently  their  judgment  was  good  for  by  far  the  greater  majority 
of  hardy  perennials  are  grown  today  in  just  such  kind  of 
t  gardens.  But  with  new  additions  to  the  variety  list,  more 
of  their  habits,  likes  and  dislikes  discovered  and  understood, 
there  are  many  new  and  novel  uses  for  perennial  plants  being 
found  each  year.  The  “Wild  Garden”  and  the  “Rock 
Garden”  are  both  very  popular  right  now  and  these  two  forms 
of  gardens  are  very  nearly  dependent  on  the  perennial  plants 
for  their  subjects.  We  tell  you  more  about  these  gardens  on 
page  49. 

Your  Selection  of  Perennials 

After  you  have  decided  where  you  are  going  to  plant  your 
perennials,  then  you  are  ready  to  make  a  selection  of  the 
proper  varieties  to  use.  Here  you  will  find  the  perennial 
chart  on  pages  106  and  107  of  great  assistance.  We  have 
given  in  separate  columns  the  color  of  bloom,  season  of  bloom 
and  the  height  of  growth  of  each,  these  facts  now  can  be  used 
in  making  the  best  selection  for  whatever  space  you  wish  to 
plant.  Perhaps  you  have  some  favorites  either  in  variety  or  !j 
color,  start  with  these.  Draw  a  diagram  of  the  space  to  be 
used  and  arrange  your  selections  so  that  the  taller  will  be  to  ' 
the  rear  of  the  medium  height  and  low  growing  varieties;  i 
arrange  the  colors  so  if  they  bloom  at  the  same  time  they  will 
blend  and  harmonize  with  each  other,  and. also  attempt  to 
make  an  arrangement  that  will  give  you’a  succession  of  bloom, 
leaving  no  large  areas  that  will  be  without  bloom  throughout  ’ 
any  considerable  period.  You  will  be  surprised  at  the  | 
pleasure  you  will  derive  from  planning  and  arranging  your  1 
garden  or  border  in  this  manner.  And  if  you  succeed  in 
getting  the  proper  selection  and  arrangement  for  your  s 
location,  you  garden  is  sure  to  be  a  success  and  a  joy  to  you.  >

The  Value  of  Hardy  Perennials 

For  many  reasons  this  class  of  flowering  plants  is  the  most 
valuable  to  you  and  should  be  the  most  popular.  Foremost 
among  these  reasons  is  their  economy;  they  are  but  very 
little  more  expensive  to  secure  than  the  annuals,  in  fact,  many 
may  be  raised  from  seed  just  as  cheaply  as  annual  plants  and 
they  remain  with  us  year  after  year  and  increase  in  size  and 
number  at  no  added  cost  except  the  little  attention  we  give 
them  in  the  garden  while  the  annual  plants  must  be  replaced 
each  spring. 

The  early  bloom  of  many  of  the  perennials  make  them  still 
more  valuable.  From  a  good  selection  of  this  class  of  plants 
you  may  have  blooms  from  a  few  days  after  the  snow  leaves 
until  it  again  appears  in  the  early  winter.  And  in  such 
variety  of  beautiful  colors,  almost  every  known  color  and 
shade  is  included  in  the  blooms  of  this  delightful  class  of 
flowers.  The  beautiful  perennials  that  you  have  in  your 
garden  this  year  will  remain  there  to  bloom  for  you  next  year 
and  whatever  you  would  have  expended  to  replace  them  had 
they  been  annuals  you  may  now  use  to  add  new  and  desirable 


Perennial  Novelties 


On  this  page  we  select  a  few  varieties  from  our  list,  that  are  new  and  we  think  worthy  of  especial  recommendation. 

2413  Anemone,  St.  Brigid  p„np“nEngS 

this  St.  Brigid’s  strain  stands  out  as  being  unusually  good.  The 
flowers  are  large  (1  to  1)4  inches),  semi-double  and  double  and  of 
glorious  shades  of  pink,  rose  and  scarlet.  Pkt.  15c,  l/(6  oz.  30c. 

2417  Aquilegia,  Long  Spurred  Hybrids

abroad.  See  also  page  43.  Pkt.  15c,  )4  oz.  60c. _ 

Delphinium,  Blackmore  and  Lang- 

„  Last  summer,  while  visiting  the  leading  seed  pro- 
^  ducers  of  eleven  European  countries,  Mr.  Bradley 
inspected  the  stock  plants  of  Delphiniums  in  the  establishment 
of  Blackmore  &  Langdon  at  Bath,  England.  These  people  have 
made  a  world-wide  reputation  for  their  strains  of  Delphiniums 
during  the  past  thirty  years  but  Mr.  Bradley  said  that  he  was 
entirely  unprepared  for  the  giant  plants  which  he  saw  growing 
in  the  nursery  rows  there.  He  brought  home  with  him,  moving 
pictures  which  he  took,  showing  large  blocks  of  plants,  all  of  which 
towered  over  the  heads  of  Mr.  Langdon  and  himself.  He  was 
also  impressed  with  the  fact  that  the  tall  spikes  were  fully  flow¬ 
ered  in  every  case.  See  further  comment  on  this  strain  on  page,

2628  Gaillardia  Dazzler 

Dazzler  is  well  named.  It  is  a  large  flowered 
strain  of  golden  yellow  and  maroon.  Gail- 
lardias  should  have  a  space  in  every  perennial 
garden,  because  of  their  wealth  of  bloom, 
and  we  recommend  Dazzler  as  the  strain  for 
you  to  grow,  Pkt.  12c,  oz.  60c. _ 

2693  Incarvillea  Variabilis 

Hybrids.  One  of  the  best  of  the  Incarvil- 
leas  producing  strong  bushy  plants  2)4  to  3 
ft.  high  and  in  bloom  from  May  to  October. 
Few  perennials  have  such  a  long  season  of 
bloom  and  few  are  prettier  than  these  Glox- 
inia-like  flowers  in  many  colors.  You  can 
grow  them  easily  from  seed  and  if  sown  early 
inside  you  will 
have  some 
bloom  late  the 
first  summer.

2718  Hardy  Lupines 

The  illustration  below  will  give  you  an  idea 
of  the  display  value  of  a  clump  of  Hardy 
Lupines.  A  group  in  the  hardy  border  will 
certainly  bring  admiration.  The  seed  we 
offer  is  a  mixture  of  rose,  blue,  and  white 
shades  plus  the  new  hybrids  with  pleasing

Perennials  in  the  Rock  Garden 


The  advent  of  the  rock  garden  has  brought  to  us  one  of  the 
most  interesting  forms  of  gardening.  It  is  true  that  the 
name  rock  garden  means  nothing  as  to  size.  They  vary  in 
size  from  a  few  square  feet,  perhaps  in  the  comer  of  a  larger 
garden  to  those  of  great  extent,  perhaps  acres,  but,  never¬ 
theless  the  interest  and  pleasure  to  be  derived  from  them  is 
not  measured  by  their  size.  In  this  type  of  garden  many 
varieties  of  plants  appear  at  their  best  and  it  is  here  that 
we  reach  the  most  intimate  association  with  them.  Too 
often  perhaps  a  rock  garden  is  thought  of  as  a  garden  con¬ 
taining  rocks  as  well  as  flowers,  true,  in  a  measure  but  the 
real  rock  garden  goes  much  farther.  It  becomes  a  duplication 
of  nature’s  effort  to  combine  her  bold  ruggedness  with  the 
delicate  beauty  of  blooming  plants.  Some  of  the  most 


interesting  and  attractive  rock  gardens  are  quite  small,  no 
effort  having  been  made  to  out-do  as  to  size,  but  instead 
putting  the  real  spirit  of  rock  garden  into  whatever  space  was 
available.  The  rock  garden  gives  more  opportunity  for  real 
individuality  than  any  other  form  of  gardening. 

There  are  many  forms  of  this  type  of  garden.  Some  of 
course  must  be  purely  artificial  creations  of  your  own,  some 
perhaps  may  have  an  ideal  natural  location  that  may  be  de¬ 
veloped  into  a  real  place  of  beauty,  then  there  are  the  wall  or 
bank  garden  and  the  foundation  Rock  garden  and  there  may¬ 
be  other  forms  that  have  not  yet  been  used.  In  any  form 
this  type  of  gardening  is  thoroughly  absorbing  and  we  have 
included  much  in  the  catalog  intended  to  be  helpful  in  the 
creation  of  a  rock  garden  of  your  own. 


Hardy  Borders  and  Wild  Gardens 


The  Hardy  Border  is  probably  the  location  in  which  our 
herbaceous  perennials  are  known  the  best.  This  sort  of 
planting  needs  no  introduction  to  you,  undoubtedly  you  have 
seen  many  of  them  and  noted  the  many  different  combina¬ 
tions  and  arrangements  possible  in  them.  The  real  garden 
lover  can  get  much  joy  and  satisfaction  in  arranging  a  border 
planting  themselves.  Perhaps  you  would  like  a  pink  border, 
in  which  all  the  flowers  are  pink,  a  blue  border  or  a  yellow  or 
gold  border.  These  may  be  planned  with  the  help  of  the 
catalog  descriptions  and  the  chart  on  pages  106  and  107 
and  may  be  very  delightful  and  successful.  Hardy  borders 
are  adaptable  to  any  home  grounds,  and  provide  much  in 
addition  to  your  shrubs  and  other  plantings  that  helps  toward 
the  enjoyment  of  your  home. 


The  Wild  Garden  is  probably  one  of  the  latest  forms  of 
gardening  that  is  becoming  popular  to  a  certain  extent.  The 
name  is  descriptive  of  the  type  of  garden  that  it  should  be. 
It  is  a  garden  where  the  plants  are  allowed  to  grow,  as  if  of 
their  own  accord  they  had  selected  this  for  their  home.  The 
more  natural  the  more  successful  is  a  garden  of  this  sort. 
Perhaps  only  a  small  corner  of  your  yard,  perhaps  a  garden 
of  large  extent,  the  possibilities  in  this  direction  are  unlimited. 
One  garden  of  this  type  which  is  perhaps  the  most  famous  is 
of  more  than  three  hundred  acres.  But  in  the  small  wild 
garden  in  your  own  yard  you  may  have  as  much  pleasure  as 
in  a  much  larger  one,  here  shrubs,  perennials,  ferns,  etc.,  can 
all  be  placed  without  regard  to  formal  plan,  following  only 
your  idea  of  how  nature  would  arrange  them. 


ON  PAGE  84  WE  OFFER  A  BOOK  ON  ROCK  GARDENS  THAT  WILL  MAKE  ROCK  GARDENING  EASY 


The  Best  Perennial  Seeds 


One  of  the  most  essential  factors  to  the  success  and  enjoyment  of  a  garden  is  good  virile  seed  true  to 
variety  and  strong  healthy  plants.  This  is  the  fundamental  principle  on  which  our  business  is  built ;  and 
realizing  to  the  fullest  extent  that  you  must  depend  on  us  to  know  these  qualities  in  our  products,  it  is 
uppermost  in  our  mind  that  the  best  is  none  too  good  for  our  customers  and  friends.  Not  until  our 
laboratory  tests  and  our  trial  grounds  have  proven  to  us  that  we  are  giving  you  something  that  will 
benefit  your  garden  do  we  offer  you  any  new  variety  or  strain.  Among  perennials  especially  is  this  true 
for  you  are  planting  not  for  this  year  alone  but  for  permanency  in  your  garden  for  several  years  to  come. 

Better  Seed  Means  Better  Flowers 

Your  great  ambition  is  to  have  the  best  flowers  possible  in  your  garden  and 
it  is  our  greatest  desire  to  help  you  to  accomplish  this  ambition.  So  year 
after  year  we  are  trying  out  new  varieties  and  new  strains  and  offering  you 
only  the  best  and  most  satisfactory.  That  is  why  the  seed  we  offer  you  will 
produce  such  excellent  results.  Note  the  Delphinium  at  the  left,  these  were 
grown  at  our  nursery  last  year  and  helped  convince  us  that  this  strain  was 
worthy  of  including  in  out  list. 

From  Many  Parts  of  the  World 

Great  Horticulturists  and  Plant-breeders  in  many  parts  of  the  world,  have 
spent  years,  of  their  fives,  developing  and  improving  many  varieties  of 
garden  flowers,  until  their  tireless  efforts  have  given  us  the  marvelous 
strains  that  are  now  available  for  you  to  plant  in  your  garden.  They  have 
contributed  their  part  in  supplying  this  seed  so  that  you  might  more  fully 
enjoy  your  garden  flowers.  Not  only  is  size  and  beauty  of  bloom  their  aim, 
many  of  the  very  desirable  flowers  have  unfortunate  traits  or  habits  that 
must  be  corrected  that  they  may  be  fit  subjects  for  the  garden.  Hardiness 
is  also  a  feature  in  perennial  varieties  that  must  be  essential,  for  they  must 
be  able  to  sleep  in  the  frozen  ground  under  a  blanket  of  snow  during  the 
winter  that  they  may  again  be  with  us  when  spring  returns. 

So  it  is  that  each  year  we  are  able  to  offer  you  more  desirable  varieties  and 
better  types  of  the  flowers  that  you  are  already  growing. 

Your  Perennial  Garden 

The  glory  of  your  Hardy  Perennial  Garden  is  in  its  variety  of  bloom.  Each 
in  its  particular  season  giving  fully  its  gorgeous  array  of  color.  Thus  it  is 
that  the  success  and  satisfaction  of  this  sort  of  a  garden  depends  in  great 
measure  on  the  proper  selection  and  arrangement  of  the  varieties.  Some 
plant  a  clump  of  one  variety  here  and  another  there  without  consideration 
of  their  color,  height  or  season  of  bloom.  Greater  satisfaction  may  be  had 
by  studying  these  features  and  arranging  your  plantings  accordingly. 
Knowing  your  need  of  this  information  in  making  the  proper  selections  we 
have  endeavored  to  fill  all  available  space  in  this  catalog  with  good  reliable 
worth  while  information  that  will  be  useful  to  you  in  building  a  better 
garden.  Look  through  the  catalog  carefully  for  these  pages  of  information 
and  save  your  catalog  for  future  reference,  perhaps,  marking  the  things 
that  you  think  especially  useful  to  you.

Templin -Bradley’s  Vegetable  Seed - 

You  have  all  heard  the  axiom  “Garden  for  health.”  With  a  vegetable  garden  this  is  doubly  true.  Here  we  receive 
not  only  the  great  benefits  of  the  healthful  out  of  doors  exercise  in  direct  contact  with  nature  but  we  also  receive 
untold  benefits  from  the  fresh  vegetables  that  we  use  on  our  tables,  direct  from  the  garden  without  the  loss  of 
any  of  their  health  building  qualities. 

So  lets  grow  more  of  our  own  vegetables  not  only  to  reduce  the  expense  of  buying  all  we  use  but  to  learn  the 
real  tasty  qualities  of  the  vegetables  when  gathered  and  used  fresh  from  the  garden.  Even  a  small  plot  of  ground 
will  produce  quantities  of  vegetables  for  you.  Many  times  two  or  more  crops  can  be  taken  from  the  same  ground, 
a  later  crop  replacing  the  early,  or  a  quick  growing  crop  being  grown  between  those  that  do  not  need  their  full 
space  until  late  in  the  season.  You  will  be  delighted  with  the  results  from  a  few  well  selected  vegetable  seeds. 


Vegetables  for  Your  Own  Table 

There  is  no  more  satisfactory  way  of  obtaining  good  fresh  vege¬ 
tables  of  the  best  quality  for  your  own  use  than  to  grow  them 
in  your  own  garden  and  gather  them  just  as  you  need  them. 
Vegetables  begin  to  lose  their  tenderness  and  good  flavor  very 
soon  after  they  have  been  gathered,  and  when  they  have  lain 
in  the  market  for  a  day  or  even  several  hours  they  have  lost 
much  of  their  best  qualities.  Consider  also  the  convenience 
of  being  able  to  step  into  your  garden  and  select  a  nice  fresh 
lot  of  several  varieties  just  when  you  are  ready  to  prepare 
your  dinner.  Not  only  can  you  have  your  favorites  but  you 
can  have  just  as  many  or  as  few  as  you  wish.  How  handy  it 
is  too,  when  an  unexpected  guest  drops  in  just  at  meal  time 
to  have  extra  supplies  so  near  at  hand. 

Planning 
The  Vegetable 
Garden 

Before  any  seed  is  planted, 
your  garden  should  be  well 
worked  out  on  paper.  If  you 
had  a  garden  last  year,  you 
probably  discovered  some 
things  that  you  would  like  to 
change.  Each  year  you  will 
make  improvements.  If  this 
is  your  first  garden,  we  par¬ 
ticularly  want  to  emphasize  the  importance  of  a  garden 
plan.  It  will  save  disappointment  later. 

The  size  of  your  garden  will  depend  upon  several  things — the 
space  you  have  available,  the  size  of  the  family,  and  your 
fondness  for  vegetables.  Remember  that  a  small  garden  well 
tended  is  more  profitable  than  a  large  garden  neglected. 

After  the  size  is  decided  on,  work  out  the  arrangement  of  your 
garden.  Consider  first  the  long  season  vegetables,  those  that 
need  space  the  entire  season. 

Consider  also  the  characteristics  of  the  different  vegetables, 
for  example,  tall  growing  kinds  like  com  should  not  be  planted 
in  such  a  way  that  they  will  shade  crops  that  need  lots  of  sun. 
Some  kinds,  like  lettuce,  are  really  benefitted  by  partial  shade. 

Plan  for  a  wide  variety  of  vegetables.  You  undoubtedly 
have  certain  favorites  and  no  two  families  will  agree  on  this 
point.  Plant  plentifully  of  the  varieties  you  especially  like . 


Vegetables  to  Sell  for  Profit 

Many  of  our  customers  who  have  always  grown  their  own 
vegetables  in  order  to  have  them  fresh  for  their  tables  have 
found  that  their  neighbors  who  did  not  grow  vegetables  were 
glad  to  secure  them  direct  from  the  garden  and  have  been 
able  to  dispose  of  their  surplus  with  no  trouble  and  with  a 
nice  little  profit  to  themselves.  _  So  now  they  are  growing 
larger  quantities,  and  greater  variety  and  are  obtaining  much 
pleasure  and  profit  from  only  small  areas  of  garden  in  the 
backyard.  Many  who  live  on  much  traveled  highways  have 
found  that  the  motorist  who  passes  also  knows  that  the 
fresher  vegetables  are  the  best  and  are  glad  to  be  able  to 
secure  their  supplies  at  the  roadside  stand  of  the  home  gar¬ 
dener,  much  fresher  than  when  obtained  from  the  markets. 


Keep  Your 
Garden  Busy 

Especially  if  the  space  you 
have  for  vegetable  garden¬ 
ing  purposes  is  limited,  you 
will  want  to  keep  every  part 
of  it  busy  the  entire  growing 
season.  Some  crops  planted 
early  will  be  out  of  the  way 
and  leave  room  for  other 
planting  of  the  same  crops 
or  for  other  vegetables  en¬ 
tirely  we  suggest  a  few 
items  that  may  be  used  as  companion  or  succession  crops: 
fl)  Turnips  between  rows  of  early  sweet  com.

Growing  the  Finest  Vegetables 

j  The  greatest  pleasure  from  a  vegetable  garden  comes  in  having  the  proper  varieties  and  having 
a  good  succession  of  plantings.  Many  varieties  must  have  an  earlier  start  than  they  get  if 
planted  directly  in  the  garden,  some  of  these  are  Cabbage,  Cauliflower,  Celery,  Egg  Plant, 

!  Peppers,  Tomatoes  and  Lettuce  for  very  early  crop.  Plants  for  these  should  be  started  inside. 

|  Below  we  give  you  some  hints  on  how  to  do  this  successfully. 


Growing  th< 

A  little  practice  will  make  it  easy  for  you  to  grow  plants.  If 
you  have  a  hotbed,  that  is  the  ideal  place  to  do  all  such  work. 

A  hotbed  is  really  a  greenhouse  on  a  modified  scale. 

Many  of  you  will  be  content  at  first  with  a  window  box  or  flat 
for  starting  early  seeds.  Fill  this  box  with  fine  soil — a  mixture 
of  equal  parts  of  leaf  mold  (rotted  leaves)  soil  from  the  woods 
and  clean  sand  will  be  perfectly  satisfactory.  Sift  it  to  get  out 
all  coarse  particles  and  stones. 

Moisten  the  soil — but  do  not  have  it  wet.  Sow  the  seed  in 
rows  in  the  box  and  barely  cover  the  fine  seed.  If  you  start 
several  varieties  in  the  same  box  be  sure  to  mark  them  in 
some  way  as  it  is  easy  to  forget  the  names.  Drop  the  seed 
right  <pn  the  surface  and  press  it  in  with  the  edge  of  a  stick 
or  sprinkle  some  loose  soil  over  it. 

Until  the  seedling  plants  appear  lay  a  newspaper  or  a  pane 
of  glass  over  the  box  to  prevent  the  rapid  evaporation  of  the 
moisture.  Keep  the  box  in  a  room  temperature  60°  to  70° 
Fahrenheit.  A  sunny  window  is  an  ideal  place.  As  the  little 

j  Best  Plants 

plants  grow  do  not  let  them  overcrowd  each  other.  Thin 
them  out  and  transplant  some  to  another  box  or  into  flower 
pots  or  pans.  Almost  without  exception  plants  are  benefitted 
by  at  least  one  transplanting  before  the  final  setting  out. 
This  has  a  tendency  to  make  many  more  fine  short  roots 
rather  than  few  long  straggly  ones.  The  plant  is  much  better 
able  to  stand  the  strain  of  moving  outdoors  and  making 
rapid,  steady  growth  with  this  kind  of  a  root  system  to  start 
with. 

During  the  time  the  plants  are  growing  in  the  box  keep  the 
soil  moist — but  not  wet.  Simply  the  fact  that  the  surface  is 
dry  is  no  cause  for  alarm.  Dig  into  the  soil  with  the  finger  and 
if  you  do  not  find  it  moist  inch  down,  it  is  time  for  water. 

As  the  plants  grow  and  the  time  for  setting  out  approaches, 
open  the  window  near  the  box  during  the  warm  part  of  the 
day  and  even  set  the  box  outdoors  for  a  few  hours  at  a  time. 
This  will  “harden  them  off”  getting  them  accustomed  to 
cooler  conditions.  It  really  toughens  the  plant  fibres. 

Cold  I 

Hotbeds  and  cold  frames  are  sometimes  confused,  but  the 
cold  frame  is  heated  by  the  sun’s  rays  only.  It  does  not  allow 
the  starting  of  plants  as  early  as  the  hotbed,  but  it  means  an 
advance  of  two  or  three  weeks  over  the  season. 
CONSTRUCTION.  It  is  very  easy  to  build  a  cold  frame. 
No  deep  excavation  need  be  made  unless  you  wish  to  replace 
the  soil.  Make  it  of  good  substantial  planking  that  will  stand 
the  weather  and  of  any  size  that  you  wish,  remembering  that 
the  standard  size  of  sash  is  3  by  6  ft.  If  the  back  end  or  side 
is  15  inches  high  and  the  front  about  8  inches  the  sash  will 
have  the  proper  incline. 

LOCATION.  Same  as  for  the  hot  bed.  One  fine  place  to 
make  a  cold  frame  is  right  against  the  basement  window  of 
the  house.  Then  build  it  without  a  back  and  so  arranged  that 

!rames 

the  window  can  be  opened  to  let  heat  from  the  basement  get 
into  the  cold  frame.  An  arrangement  like  this  is  very  con¬ 
venient,  especially  if  your  basement  is  heated.

Transplanting 

j  If  you  buy  your  plants  from  a  florist  or  professional  plant 
grower,  secure  them  with  as  much  earth  around  the  roots  as 
possible  and  get  them  into  the  ground  without  delay.  Plants 
in  pots  cost  more  but  it  is  easier  to  set  them  out  with  success. 
Before  lifting  the  plants  from  the  flat  or  bed  soak  the  soil 
around  them  thoroughly  several  hours  before.  Then  when 
you  lift  them  the  soil  will  adhere  to  the  roots.  Do  not  lift 
more  than  you  can  plant  without  delay.  If  you  have  to  carry 
them  a  considerable  distance,  better  place  the  plants  in  a 

or  Setting  Out 

shallow  pan  immersing  the  roots  in  thin  mud  or  cover  with  a 
damp  cloth.  It  is  very  important  not  to  let  the  fine  roots  feel 
the  warm  sun  and  wind  for  even  two  minutes. 

The  plot  where  the  plants  are  to  be  set  should  have  been 
worked  mellow  and  loose  beforehand  and  then  allowed  to 
settle. 

Make  the  holes  for  the  plants  plenty  big  enough  to  accom¬ 
modate  the  roots  without  crowding  and  set  the  plant  a  little 
deeper  than  it  stood  in  its  original  bed.  With  the  fingers  press 
the  soil  firmly  around  the  roots  as  you  fill  in.  If  the  soil  is  very 
dry,  pour  some  water  in  the  hole  and  then  cover  with  dry  soil 
on  the  surface.  It  is  important  to  pack  the  soil  firmly  around 
the  roots,  leaving  no  air  spaces.  By  no  means  water  the  foli¬ 
age  of  the  plants  or  the  surface  of  the  soil  around  the  plant, 
especially  if  the  sun  is  out  warm.  When  this  is  done  the  soil 
bakes  hard  around  the  stem  so  the  plant  is  literally  choked 
to  death.  Leave  loose,  dry  soil  on  the  surface. 

If  care  is  used  in  setting  the  plants  it  is  not  necessary  to  cover 
them.  They  will  wilt  down  in  the  middle  of  the  day,  perhaps, 
but  in  two  or  three  days  they  will  be  standing  up  sturdily. 

General  Directions  for  Wi 

There  are  a  few  principles  that  apply  to  the  winter  storing  of 
most  vegetables  and  they  are: 

(1)  A  low  temperature,  which  can  be  kept  above  freezing  and 
fairly  even. 

(2)  Good  ventilation. 

(3)  Good  drainage  (freedom  from  standing  water). 

(4)  A  fairly  moist  atmosphere. 

(5)  Good,  sound  vegetables  dug  at 

the  proper  time.  t«ni  4E 

WHEN  TO  HARVEST.  All  veg-  Jk 

etables  for  storage  should  be  har- 

vested  if  possible  when  the  ground  Jg&Mk 

is  dry,  and  except  in  the  case  of  po- 

tatoes,  not  before  freezing  weather  ^|||||||gg| 

makes  it  necessary.  Let  them 
lie  outdoors  for  a  few  hours  until

root;  this  prevents  bleeding  and  drying  out. 

Whether  it  is  Potatoes  or  Cabbage,  Carrots  or  Squash — in 
any  case  only  store  sound,  well  matured  specimens.  A  chain 
is  no  stronger  than  its  weakest  link,  and  by  the  same  sign 
one  diseased  or  poor  specimen  may  quickly  spoil  the  entire 
contents  of  a  pit. 

BASEMENT  OR  CELLAR.  The  basements  or  cellars  of  a 
great  many  homes  have  the  right 
conditions  present,  and  there 
H|k  is  the  logical  place  to  store  your  vege- 

llllll^rt  tables.  In  other  homes,  however,  the 

gillie.  basement  is  either  very  damp,  or 

-tectthicj  else  the  furnace  makes  it  just  the 

|||||ap|||||.  opposite — warm  and  too  dry.  Per- 

Blliiliilliiilk  haps  a  corner  or  one  end  of  your  cel- 

lar  partitioned  off  will  be  just  right. 

If,  however,  your  cellar  is  not 

Id  be  made  small  be-  adapted  for  the  storing  of  vege- 
ned  all  the  vegetables  tables,  plan  to  keep  them  in  an  out-

quickly  producing  a  large  head  at  center  of  plant  in  about  90  days.  This  head 
is  a  tight  cluster  like  Cauliflower  except  in  color  which  is  bluish  green.  After 
this  head  is  removed  the  plant  produces  many  branches  bearing  smaller  terminal

Growing  next  to  many  other  varieties  we  find  it  extra  early  forming  a  solid  head  a  week  earlier 
than  Copenhagen  Market,  and  very  uniform,  almost  every  head  a  perfect  specimen.  The  absence 
of  large  outer  leaves  permits  close  planting.  Golden  Acre  is  so  solid  and  hard  that  it  will  stand 
sometime  without  bursting  and  it  can  be  shipped  and  stored  better  than  other  early  varieties.

- In  Your  1929  Garden 

We  offer  these  new  vegetables  as  varieties  that  have  been  tried 
and  proven  to  be  fully  up  to  what  we  claim.  Why  not  try  them? 

563  Golden  Champlain,  Earliest  Muskmelon 

Without  question  the  earliest  yellow  fleshed  melon  on  the  market  today.  Records  have 
been  made  of  its  being  ready  to  eat  57  days  after  the  seed  was  planted.  Its  vigorous  growth, 
productiveness,  hardiness  and  good  quality  have  been  proved  beyond  any  doubt.  The 
flesh  is  golden  yellow,  deep  and  so  temptingly  sweet.  In  shape  nearly  round — medium  size 
and  heavily  netted.  Pkt.  15c,  34  oz.  25c,  oz.  40c,  lb.  $1.25. 

582  Ohio  Sugar,  Sweetest  Green  Melon  £-ee°n  s<SdsT^uf op 

and  the  best  to  eat  of  any  green  fleshed  melon  on  the  market.  The  flesh  is  very  thick, 
tender,  yet  firm  and  sugary  as  can  be.  In  shape  the  melon  is  round  or  slightly  oval, 
distinctly  ribbed  and  netted.  Pkt.  10c,  oz.  20c,  34  lb.  60c,  lb.  $1.85. 


718  California  Wonder  Pepper 


This 
sometimes 

weighing  a  pound,  and  nearly  square,  four  inches  across  and  a  trifle  longer.  The  main  crop 
ripens  fairly  late,  but  good  sized  peppers  can  be  gathered  early.  When  young  the  fruits  are 

dark  green,  turning  to  crimson  as  they  ripen. 
Wonder  combines  the  quality  of  Pimento  and 
the  size  of  Crimson  Giant  and  exceeds  both 
in  thickness  of  flesh.  Pkt.  10c,  Y  oz.  40c, 
oz.  $1.25,  M  lb.  S3. 75. 


Radish, 

£axa 


679  New  Pea,  May  Mom 

Plant  as  early  as  you  would  Alaska  as  the  seed 
will  stand  cold,  wet  soil.  It  pods  up  quickly 
also,  so  it  is  possible  to  have  May  Mom  in 
edible  stage  before  any  other  large  podded  high 
quality  pea.  The  vines  are  sturdj',  15  to  18 
inches  tall,  producing  broad  4  inch  pods.  Pkt. 
10c,  34  lb.  20c,  lb.  45c,  3  lbs.  $1.25. 

688  Pea,  World’s  Record 

An  improved  Gradus,  from  which  variety  it 
gets  its  extremely  good  quality,  but  it  is  a  much 
heavier  and  surer  yielder.  Vines  2  to  234  ft. 
tall,  pods  handsome  dark  green.  334  inches  long. 

Y  lb.  17c,  lb.  45c,  3  lbs.  $1.25.

20  days  from  seed.  The  roots  are  bright  scarlet,  round  as  a  marble,  smooth  with  very  little  tap  root  and  a  small  top. 
Flesh  crisp  and  juicy.  A  favorite  for  greenhouse  forcing,  market  garden  and  the  first  crop  outdoors  in  the  home  garden. 

Pkt.  10c,  oz.  15c,  34  lb.  35c,  lb.  $1.10.  _ 


Spinach,  Juliana 


780  Juliana  Spinach 

Develops  within  a  few  days  as  quickly 
as  Bloomsdale,  and  is  much  longer 
standing.  Some  experts  are  of  the 
opinion  that  Juliana  will  in  .time  replace 
all  other  early  Spinach,  suitable  for  earl- 
est  Spring  or  fall  planting.  It  is  a  thick 
crumpled  leaf  variety  of  close  compact 
growth,  in  that  way  preferable  to  King  of 
Denmark.  It  will  not  stand  as  long  as 
Denmark  but  is  earlier  add  has  a  better 
leaf.  Juliana  is  going  to  be  a  money¬ 
maker  for  the  gardener  and  a  superb 
homegarden  variety.  Oz.  10c,  34  lb.  25c, 
lb.  65c;  5  lbs.  $2.75. 


790  Zucchini  Squash 

Claimed  to  be  the  best  eating  sum¬ 
mer  Squash  ever  grown.  The  high 
quality  of  the  Cocozelle  Squash  has  long 
been  known.  The  Zucchini  in  appear¬ 
ance  is  very  similar  to  the  Cocozelle,  but 
has  quite  a  distinct  flavor  and  those  who 
have  tried  it  say  it’s  the  best  Squash  they 
ever  ate.  The  plants  are  of  the  summer 
bush  type  and  very  productive.  The 
fruits  are  elongated,  slightly  curved, 
smooth  and  dark  green,  but  unlike  the 
Cocozelle  they  do  not  become  striped 
when  ripening.  They  are  in  the  best 
condition  to  eat  when  6  or  8  inches  long. 
Pkt.  10c,  oz.  25c. 


832  Red  River  Tomato 

An  extra  early  with  very  firm  flesh.  This  variety  was  devel¬ 
oped  at  the  North  Dakota  Experiment  Station,  where  they  find  it  one  of 
the  very  earliest,  and  the  most  solid  and  meaty  early  sort  ever  on 
trial.  At  a  Canadian  Station  it  outyielded  all  other  sorts.  The 

fruits  are  slightly  flattened,  smooth,  bright  scarlet  with  solid  meat  of 

splendid  flavor.  Last  season  we  sent  out  sample  packets  of  this  variety 
and  had  many  splendid  reports.  Pkt.  15c,  34  oz.  40c. 

818  Templin-Bradley’s  Everbearer  Tomato 

The  best  early,  long  season,  home  garden  tomato.  How  would  you 
like  to  have  a  tomato  that  you  can  pick  as  early  as  Earliana,  and  yet  keep 
on  picking  for  a  long  season  after  and  get  nice  smooth  good  sized,  scarlet 
fruits?  That  is  just  how  the  Everbearer  behaves.  For  an  early  variety, 
the  fruits  are  surprisingly  large,  smooth  and  free  from  blemish.  Pkt.  15c, 
34  oz.  40c,  oz.  70c,  34  lb.  $2.00. 

819  Marglobe  Tomato-Disease  Resistant 

This  variety  was  introduced  by  the  U.  S.  Dept,  of  Agriculture  for  its  resist¬ 
ance  to  “wilt”  and  “nail  head  rust.”  It  is  a  scarlet  fruited  main  crop 
variety;  the  result  of  a  cross  between  Marvel  and  Globe,  and  has  retained 
the  best  characteristics  of  each.  It  produces  a  heavy  crop  of  large  smooth, 
meaty,  deep  globe  shaped  fruits.  Pkt.  15c,  Y  oz.  40c,  oz.  75c,  34  lb.

TO  HAVE  BEANS  AT  THEIR  BEST — Make  several  successive  plantings.  As  most  varieties  are 
ready  to  pick  in  45  to  50  days  you  can  keep  planting  just  as  long  as  there  is  that  much  time  left 
before  frost.  Another  good  idqa  is  to  plant  an  early  and  late  variety  at  the  same  time.  Pick  beans 
while  the  pods  are  young  and  tender.  Steady  picking  induces  greater  production.  Do  not  jerk  the 
pods  off  but  snip  them  off  with  scissors,  knife  or  finger  nail. 

CULTURE — Bush  Beans.  Plant  in  a  warm  fertile  soil  after  all  danger  of  frost  is  past,  placing 
beans  about  3  inches  apart  in  trench,  2  to  234  inches  deep.  The  rows  should  be  24  to  30  inches  apart. 
Do  not  cultivate  or  pick  beans  when  plants  are  wet. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  pound  should  plant  a  100  ft.  row.  90  lbs.  an  acre.  Of  Bush  Limas 
one  pound  should  plant  75  hills,  40  lbs.  an  acre.  They  are  usually  planted  in  hills  about  2  ft.  apart, 
placing  5  to  6  seeds  in  a  hill,  pressed  eye  down  into  the  soil.

LCl  JJlCLC  LJ1  CCI1  TUU  cultivation.  The  pods  are  extremely  long,  often 
7  to  8  inches  and  straight  as  an  arrow,  oval,  flat  and  slender.  The  pods  are  ready  very  early  and 
should  be  pulled  before  overgrown.  They  become  stringy  if  left  too  long  on  the  plant.  34  lb.  16c,

WHY  GROW  BEETS — Root  crops  give  more  food  value  for  the  space  occupied 
than  any  other  vegetable.  Beets  are  the  most  popular  of  all  root  crops.  Beets  may 
be  stored  for  winter  use.  Best  of  all,  the  small  beets  pulled  and  used  soon  after,  are 
much  sweeter  and  more  tender  than  any  you  could  buy.  Try  some  buttered  tender 
baby  beets  from  your  own  garden  this  year.  Make  at  least  two  plantings  of  beets 
so  that  you  have  plenty  for  early  use  and  for  winter  storage  as  well. 

TABLE  BEETS.  Beets  like  well  enriched  moist  soil, 
i  1  inch  deep  in  rows  12  to  16  inches  apart,  and  thin  out 
to  stand  4  inches  apart.  First  sowing  may  be  made  as  early  as  the  soil 
is  in  good  workable  condition,  later  plantings  up  to  July  1st. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  SO  to  75  foot  row, 
5  to  6  pounds  an  acre.  Packets  of  the  standard  varieties  will  contain 
about  34  ounce.

Cauliflower,  Dry  Weather 


CULTURE — Cauliflower  is  grown  much  the  same  way  as  early  Cabbage, 
the  seeds  started  in  hotbeds  or  boxes  in  February  or  early  March.  An  extra 
transplanting  into  other  boxes  or  cold  frames  before  setting  outdoors  is 
beneficial.  In  these  set  2  inches  apart  each  way.  When  the  heads  begin  to  form 
gather  the  outer  leaves  and  tie  together  to  protect  from  the  hot  sun.  Cauli¬ 
flower  is  one  of  the  most  delicious  vegetables  grown,  and  by  planting  our 
“Quality”  Seed  in  rich  deep,  moist  soil,  the  crop  is  almost  as  sure  as  cabbage. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  will  produce  at  least  2000  plants 
under  the  right  conditions,  5  ounces  should  produce  enough  plants  for  an  acre. 
Our  standard  packets  will  contain  350  to  500  seeds. 

Cauliflower  seed  must  be  of  the  best.  Depend  upon  ours.

high,  transplant  to  a  nicely  prepared  bed  in  the  border,  or  to  boxes,  setting  them  4  to  5  inches

Chantenay 


Danvers  Half-Long 


Carrots  deserve  a  space  in  your  garden.  In  fact  make  several  plantings  so 
that  you  can  have  some  early,  midseason  and  late. 

CULTURE — For  the  earliest  crop  sow  seed  in  April,  as  soon  as  the  soil  is  in 
good  workable  condition.  Later  plantings  can  be  made  in  May  and  June. 
The  soil  should  not  be  heavily  fertilized,  especially  with  manure.  Cover  the 
seed  about  34  inch  deep,  spacing  the  rows  12  to  16  inches  apart.  It  is  im¬ 
portant  to  thin  the  plants  to  stand  not  closer  than  3  inches.  Give  frequent 
hoeing  and  cultivation.  Carrots  pulled  just  as  soon  as  sizeable  are  at  then- 
best,  without  a  hard  core. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  200  ft.  row,  2  to  3  lbs.  an 
acre.  Packets  of  standard  varieties  contain  from  34  to  3^  ounce.

DO  YOU  KNOW  WHY  HOME  GROWN  SWEET  CORN  ALWAYS 
TASTES  BEST?  Within  a  few  hours  after  the  tender  ears  are  pulled  off  the 
stalk  they  begin  to  lose  their  sugar,  and  they  deteriorate  rapidly  in  flavor.  You 
can  seldom  buy  absolutely  fresh  green  corn — so  unless  you  have  grown  your  own 
you  probably  do  not  know  how  deliciously  sweet  it  can  be. 


Make  several  plantings  of  sweet  corn — starting  as  soon  as  the  soil  is  warm  and 
frost  danger  is  past,  then  a  few  more  hills  every  week  or  ten  days.  The  early 
varieties,  like  Golden  Bantam,  are  ready  to  eat  in  about  7 0  days  from  planting.

CULTURE — Egg  plant  likes  rich  moist  soil.  Start  seed  early  in  hot  beds  or  boxes  and  transplant 
once  before  setting  out  in  the  open  ground,  which  should  not  be  until  the  ground  is  thoroughly  warm. 
In  the  garden  the  plants  may  be  set  2  feet  apart  in  the  rows  which  are  2  to  3  ft.  apart.  QUANTITY 
OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  produce  1500  to  2000  plants,  4  ounces  enough  for  an  acre.  Our  packets 
of  standard  varieties  will  contain  at  least  300  to  400  seeds.

Cucumbers 


DO  YOU  LIKE  SLICED  CUCUMBERS  IN  HOT  WEATHER?  When 
you  can  go  out  in  your  garden  and  pick  a  few  nice  slicers  just  before 
meal  time,  they  taste  ever  so  much  better  than  those  purchased  outside. 

CULTURE — A  light  warm  soil  is  best  for  Cucumbers,  although  they  will 
do  very  well  in  most  any  good  well  drained  garden  soil.  After  all  frost 
danger  is  past  sow  the  seed  in  hills  4x4  or  4x6  feet  apart.  Cover  34  inch 
planting  8  to  10  seeds  in  each  hill.  Later  when  the 
of  insects  is  over  remove  all  but  3  or  4  of  the  strong- 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  plant  about  50

437  Templin-Bradley’s  Forcing 

This  is  an  ideal  variety  where  an  extra  long  slicing  cucumber 
is  wanted,  and  is  suitable  for  open  field  or  greenhouse  grow¬

in  shape  and  size,  with  very  few  seeds,  with  firm  flesh  and 
good  keeping  quality.  The  color  is  real  dark  green  and  that 
color  is  held  until  the  fruits  are  ripe.  We  highly  recommend 
this  both  to  the  home  gardener  for  slicing  and  salads,  and  the 
commercial  grower  for  market.  Pkt.  15c,  oz.  35c,  J4  lb.

Lettuce 


CULTURE — To  be  of  best  quality  Lettuce  should  be  quickly  grown.  It  likes  plenty 
of  moisture  and  fertility  and  will  stand  cool,  even  quite  cold  soil  and  weather.  Sow 
seed  thickly  covering  to  34  inch  deep  in  rows  12  to  16  inches  apart,  thin  as  soon  as 
well  started  to  stand  6  to  8  inches  apart.  Heading  varieties  need  slightly  more  room 
and  transplanting  is  beneficial.  Plants  for  extra  early  may  be  started  under  glass 
or  in  a  box  in  a  sunny  window.  Any  sunny  corner  of  the  garden  may  be  prepared 
early  and  a  little  lettuce  started. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  about  a  125  ft.  row  and  produce 
around  3000  plants,  3  lbs.  will  produce  enough  for  an  acre.  Packets  of  our  standard 
varieties  will  contain  about  34  ounce  of  seed.

Muskmelons 


CULTURE — Muskmelons  delight  in  warm,  rather  rich  soil,  and  it  will  pay  you  to  dig  in 
each  hill  a  shovelful  of  well  rotted  manure.  Do  not  start  outside  until  the  soil  and  weather 
is  warm — so  for  extra  early  crops  plant  some  seed  in  the  hotbed  or  window  box.  When 
it  is  warm  enough  to  plant  outside  make  the  hills  3x4  ft.  apart.  Put  ten  or  a  dozen  seeds 
in  each  hill,  covering  about  1  inch,  and  when  the  plants  are  well  up  thin  to  three  or  four 
plants. 

Melons  left  on  the  vines  until  they  are  dead  ripe  are  immeasurably  better  than  any  you 
can  buy  in  the  stores.  When  ready  the  melons  should  be  a  little  soft  and  they  will  part 
readily  from  the  stem. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  will  plant  about  60  hills,  2  to  3  lbs.  an  acre.  Pkts. 
of  standard  varieties  contain  about  34  ounce  of  seed.

Here  is  a  melon  to  make  your  mouth

sweet.  The  melon  is  medium  small,  the 
size  much  in  demand  for  the  fancy 
hotel  trade,  averaging  5  to  6  inches  in 
diameter,  yet  heavy  because  of  the 
thick  flesh  and  small  seed  cavity.  It

Grow  Some  Watermelons 


Of  late  years  some  very  early  varieties  have  been  introduced  fully  equal  to  the  late  ones  in  quality. 
Even  in  the  northern  states  it  is  now  possible  to  grow  your  own  watermelons.  Early  varieties,  like 
Cole’s  Early  and  Kleckleys  ripen  in  about  75  to  80  days. 

CULTURE — Watermelons  are  grown  very  much  like  Muskmelons,  but  the  hills  require 
more  space,  6x6,  or  6x8  ft.  After  the  soil  and  weather  is  warm  drop  a  dozen  seeds  in 
BMs.  ^,-n  each  hill,  covering  one  inch  deep  and  later  thinning  out  to  the  three  strongest  plants. 

Cultivate  as  long  as  possible  before  the  vines  cover  the  ground.  The  maturity  of  the 
melons  may  be  hastened  by  pinching  off  the  ends  of  the  vines.  This  throws  the 
^ jAlf  strength  of  the  plants  into  the  fruits  already  set. 

V.  Hr  QUANTITY  OF  SEED — 1  ounce  will  plant  about  30  hills,  4  to  5  lbs.  per  acre.  Packet 
■U  of  the  standard  varieties  will  contain  about  ounce. 

596  On  a  warm  summer  day  a  big  slice  of  Irish 

* '  v l-bll  V_T1  cxy  Gray  is  a  treat  fit  for  a  king.  The  bright  red 
p-  Jy  flesh  so  deliciously  sweet  and  tender  surely  does  hit  the  spot.  The 

melon  is  distinct  in  appearance,  long  as  shown  in  the  illustration,  but 
solid  gray  green  color.  Altogether  a  most  profitable  melon  to  grow 
\  because  of  its  quality  and  earliness  (earlier  than  Tom  Watson).

This  is  one  way  to  control  Cucumber  and  Melon  Beetles 

Cucumber  Beetles  are  severe  pests  on  Cucumbers  and  Melons.  The 
striped  beetles  attack  the  plants  when  they  first  come  up,  and  must 
be  looked  after  right  awa5*.  The  Long  Island  Experiment  Station 
found  this  method  a  good  control.  They  dusted  two  rows  and  left 
every  third  row  all  the  way  across  the  field.  Then  the  rows  that 
were  left  undusted  were  sprayed  with  a  1  to  100  Solution  of  Ever 
Green  Spray.  The  experiment  resulted  in  nearly  100%  kill  of  the 
beetles.  Of  course,  when  dusting  many  of  the  beetles  were  driven 
to  the  undusted  rows  and  so  were  trapped  there  -with  the  Ever  Green 
Spray.  In  small  gardens  spray  all  rows  with  Evergreen.

Onion  Seed 


Yellow  Globe  Danvers 


DO  YOU  LIKE  ONIONS?  There  is  no  reason  why  you  cann.it  grow  plenty  for  early 
bunching  as  green  onions  and  the  big  bulbs  for  cooking  in  fall  and  winter  also.  A  small  space 
will  yield  lots  of  onions  and  they  are  easy  to  grow.  The  first  requisite  is  good  seed,  and  the 
second,  early  sowing.  Get  your  onion  seed  in  as  soon  as  the  soil  is  workable. 

CULTURE — Onion  seed  should  be  sown  as  early  in  the  spring  as  the  ground  can  be  worked 
as  they  will  stand  considerable  cold  weather.  Cover  in  rows  J4  to  ^2  inch  deep,  the  rows 
12  to  16  inches  apart.  Thin  the  young  plants  to  stand  about  2  inches  apart  or  more,  depend¬ 
ing  on  the  variety  and  the  richness  of  the  soil.  Onions  like  a  rich  moist  loam  and  will 
develop  more  and  larger  bulbs  per  foot  on  that  kind  of  soil. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  150  ft.  row,  4  to  5  lbs.  per  acre.  Our 
packets  of  standard  varieties  will  contain  y6  to  oz.  of  seed. 

632  Qiirppf  CJrvani cVi  nr  A  variety  that  will  grow  immense 

oweei  opamsn  or  v  aiencia  bulbs  in  your  own  garden  as  tender 

and  sweet  as  the  Spanish  Onions  that  are  imported  for  you.  This  new  onion  is  globe  shaped 
with  light  yellow  skin  and  pure  white  flesh,  mild  and  sweet.  From  seed  planted  directly 
outdoors  you  can  grow  bulbs  of  great  size.  You  can  also  start  the  seed  inside  in  flats  and 
set  the  small  plants  out  when  the  soil  is  in  the  right  condition.  They  transplant  very

growing  sets.  Were  we  limited  to  offering  only  one  variety  of  -  Onion  it

flattish  at  the  bottom.  The  color  is  a  pure  deep  yellow.  Has  firm  hard  flesh 
and  excellent  keeping  qualities.  This  type  is  popular  all  over  the  country.  It

Parsnip 


CULTURE — Parsnips  are  easily  grown  though  the  seed  is  slow  to  germinate. 

The  soil  should  be  worked  fine  and  the  seed  covered  not  more  than  34  inch. 

Keep  the  surface  moist  to  prevent  the  soil  crusting  over  the  seed.  It  is  a  good 
thing  to  sow  a  little  radish  seed  right  in  with  the  parsnip.  These  come  up 
quickly  breaking  the  soil  and  marking  the  row  so  that  cultivating  may  begin. 

Thin  out  to  stand  3  inches  apart. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  150  ft.  row,  5  to  6  lbs.  an 
acre.  Our  packets  will  contain  34  to  34  oz.  of  seed.

CULTURE — Parsley  seed  is  slow  to  germinate  and  soaking  a  day  before  sowing 
will  hasten  growth.  Cover  only  34  inch  deep  and  do  not  let  the  soil  crust  over  the 
surface.  Thin  the  plants  to  stand  4  to  6  inches  apart,  and  you  can  start  cutting  the 
leaves  as  soon  as  they  are  sizable.  Make  several  sowings  of  Parsley  seed  to  have  a 
continual  supply  of  fresh  leaves. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  150  ft.  row.  Our  standard  packets

Peppers 


Perfection  Pimento 


CULTURE — Pepper  seed  must  be  started  early  in  the  hot  bed  or 
boxes  in  the  house.  The  plants  cannot  stand  cold  and  so  should 
not  be  planted  out  in  the  open  until  May  15th,  or  all  frost  danger 
is  past.  Space  the  plants  18  to  24  inches  apart  each  way,  and  keep 
well  cultivated.  Any  good  garden  soil  if  not  too  dry  will  grow 
peppers.  Do  not  plant  hot  varieties  next  the  sweet  ones. 
QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  produce  1500  plants, 
4  ounces  enough  for  an  acre.  Packets  of  our  standard  varieties  will 
contain  350  to  500  seeds.

Garden  Peas 


PEAS  FROM  YOUR  OWN  GARDEN  picked  only  an  hour  or  two  before  eating  are 
twice  as  sweet  as  those  you  would  purchase.  Try  them  and  you  will  be  convinced. 

CULTURE — A  planting  should  be  made  every  10  days  from  earliest  spring  until  hot 
weather.  Another  planting  in  late  summer  for  fall  often  gives  good  results.  The  extra 
early  smooth  seeded  varieties  are  hardy  and  may  be  planted  as  early  as  the  soil  can  be 
worked,  the  wrinkled  varieties  a  little  later.  Sow  the  earliest  3  inches  deep  increasing 
that  depth  for  1  ate  plantings  as  the  ground  becomes  drier  and  warmer ;  5  inches  is  not 
too  deep.  Fill  the  trench  up  only  part  way  until  the  plants  appear,  then  gradually  fill 
up  as  the  plants  grow.  Rows  for  dwarf  varieties  should  be  3  ft.  apart,  the  tall  varieties 
334  to  4  ft.  It  is  best  to  give  the  tall  varieties  some  support,  such  as  stakes,  brush  or 
netting  as  you  would  for  sweet  peas. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  pound  should  sow  a  50  ft.  row,  120  to  180  lbs.  an  acre.

Comparative  Table  of  Garden  Pea  Characteristics 

The  figures  given  below  of  course  vary  with  growing  conditions,  but  they  are  the  average 
figures  obtained  from  our  trial  ground  records  of  the  past  several  years.  On  early  soil  and 
during  hot  weather  peas  will  reach  edible  stage  more  quickly  and  the  picking  season  is  very 
short.  We  have  had  Alaska  peas  ready  for  the  table  in  47  days  from  the  day  the  seed  was 
planted.  Varieties  marked  (*)  have  smooth,  round  or  only  slightly  wrinkled  seed  and  are 
hardy  enough  to  withstand  earlier  planting  than  the  wrinkled  varieties.  These  contain  less 
sugar  so  are  slightly  lower  in  table  quality.  Length  of  picking  season  we  describe  as  short 
medium  or  long.  A  variety  in  which  the  pods  reach  edible  stage  uniformly  or  very  close 
together  consequently  has  a  very  short  picking  season.  That  is  an  advantage  to  the  canner 
or  market  grower  but  not  so  advantageous  to  the  home  gardener.

By  treating  the  seed  with  Nitragin 
WHAT  INOCULATION  DOES.  When  you  inoculate  the 
seed,  bacteria  forms  nodules  on  the  roots  of  the  plant. 
These  bacteria  have  the  power  to  take  nitrogen  from  the 
air.  This  nitrogen  is  extremely  valuable  to  the  plant  as 
fertilizer.  It  has  been  proven  time  and  time  again  by  the 
Government  and  State  Experiment  Stations  and  private 
planters  that  seed  inoculation  greatly  increases  the  yield 
of  Garden  Peas  all  kinds  of  Beans,  and  the  number  of 
flowers  borne  by  Sweet  Pea  vines.  It  is  past  the  experi¬ 
mental  stage.  You  profit  by  it  this  season. 

FOR  YOUR  PROTECTION.  All  inoculators  are  per¬ 
ishable,  every  package  of  Nitragin  is  dated  as  to  the 
life  of  the  contents  for  your  protection.  Look  for  the

Scarlet  Globe 


Our  Select  Sparkler  or  White  Tip 

CULTURE — Radishes  are  easily  grown  in  nearly  any 
soil  but  to  be  at  their  best  they  should  grow  quickly. 
For  this  purpose  a  light  sandy  loam  is  perhaps  the 
best,  rich  but  not  recently  fertilized  with  stable 
manure.  A  freshly  manured  soil  produces  ill  shaped 
and  often  wormy  roots.  Sow  as  early  as  soil  can  be 
worked  y2  inch  deep,  the  rows  12  to  16  inches  apart. 
QUANTITY  OF  SEED  — One  ounce  should  sow  a  100 
ft.  row,  8  to  10  lbs.  an  acre.  Packets  of  our  standard 
varieties  will  contain  y  to  oz.

The  Best  Spinach 


CULTURE — Spinach  is  almost  an  all  year  round  crop  because  of  its  hardiness. 
Very  early  and  several  later  spring  plantings  should  be  made  to  provide  leaves 
for  Late  spring  and  summer.  For  these  plantings  use  King  of  Denmark,  Juliana 
or  Bloomsdale.  During  the  summer  we  suggest  New  Zealand  or  Tetragonia. 
Again  in  the  late  summer  you  can  plant  the  other  varieties  and  with  a  slight 
protection  of  straw  over  winter  they  will  give  leaves  soon  after  snow  goes.  The 
Bloomsdale  is  excellent  for  fall  planting.  Sow  in  drills  34  inch  deep,  the  rows 
12  to  16  inches  apart.  Thin  out  to  4  or  5  inches. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  100  ft.  row.  10  to  12  lbs.  an 
acre.  Packets  of  our  standard  varieties  will  contain  about  34  ounce  of  seed.

783  New  Zealand  Spinach 

The  Everbearing  Spinach  or  Tetragonia 

The  only  variety  that  will  give  you  good  cuttings  of  spinach 
greens  all  summer.  Of  fine  quality  producing  its  tender 
leaves  throughout  the  hottest  summer  weather  without  going 
to  seed.  This  is  an  entirely  distinct  species,  with  smaller 
leaves  which  are  produced  in  very  great  abundance.  As 
the  seed  is  rather  slow  to  germinate  we  suggest  soaking  it 
in  warm  water  for  several  hours  before  planting.  Pkt.  8c, 
oz.  15c,  34  lb.  35c,  lb.  $1.00,  5  lbs.  $4.25.

Salsify  or  Vegetable  Oyster 

CULTURE — Salsify  is  grown  very  much  like  Parsnip  though  the  rows  may  be  spaced>  little  closer. 
Do  not  plant  in  freshly  manured  soil  as  this  has  a  tendency  to  produce  ill  shapen  roots.  A  fair  garden 
soil  deeply  worked  is  best  for  Salsify. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  sow  a  50  ft.  row.  Packets  contain  about  300  seeds.

Tomatoes  For  All 


CULTURE — Tomato  seed  should  be  started  early,  by  March  or  at  least 
early  April  in  hot  beds  or  in  boxes  or  pots  in  the  house.  An  extra  trans¬ 
planting  into  other  pots  or  cold  frames  is  beneficial  for  root  development 
before  finally  setting  outdoors,  when  it  is  warm.  Do  not  crowd  tomato 
plants.  You  want  short  stocky  plants  rather  than  tall  spindly  ones.  In 
the  garden  set  24  by  36  inches  apart.  Staking  and  training  each  plant  as 
it  grows  is  the  best  practice.  If  they  are  not  supported  you  will  have  to 
space  them  3x4  feet  apart.  Cultivate  thoroughly.  Tomatoes  do  not 
require  a  rich  soil.  A  good  sandy  loam  will  give  an  immense  crop. 

QUANTITY  OF  SEED.  One  ounce  should  produce  2500  to  3000  plants. 
If  set  36x24  inches  apart  you  will  need  about  7200  per  acre.  Packets  of  our 
standard  varieties  will  contain  500  to  1000  seeds.

This  is  the  best  of  the  newly  developed  Rust  Proof  varieties,  and  is  recommended  by  the  U.  S.  Dept, 
of  Agriculture.  It  is  a  selection  from  Martha  Washington  and  produces  large  straight  tender  green

SEED.  Asparagus  is  not  hard  to  grow  from  seed  though  the  results  are  not  as  quick  as  though  you 
had  started  by  planting  the  roots.  Start  seed  in  early  spring,  covering  an  inch  deep.  Cultivate 
well  during  the  summer,  transplanting  the  roots  to  their  permanent  bed  the  following  spring.  One 
ounce  should  sow  a  60  ft.  row  and  produce  200  to  300  plants.  Pkt.  10c,  oz.  25c,  34  lb.  80c,  lb.

grown  on  that  which  is  rather  poor.  In  all  cases  the  soil  should  be  carefully  prepared  and  well 
cultivated.

that  the  soil  is  fine  and  pressed  firmly  over  the  seed,  or  they  may  be  planted  as  a  second  crop — the 
seeds  sown  in  beds  in  April  and  the  plants  set.  out  in  June.  Most  of  them  should  be  cut  when  in 
bloom,  wilted  in  the  sun  and  thoroughly  dried  in  the  shade.

customers  we  handle  a  good  many  items  which 
because  of  their  bulk  or  nature  we  cannot  offer  you

fall  one  side  of  our  yard  was  full  of  fine  specimen 
evergreen  trees.  Our  local  customers  took  advant¬ 
age  of  this  display  to  come  and  select  the  exact 
specimens  that  they  wanted  for  their  homes.

This  Lawn  was  Seeded  with  Templin-Bradley’s  Seed. 

Your  Lawn 


Pretty  fine,  isn’t  it? 


Your  lawn  is  the  foundation  for  all  of  your  other  plantings.  The  trees,  shrubs  and  flowers  that  you  have 
planted  around  your  home  cannot  produce  the  perfect  picture  of  beauty  that  you  desire  without  the  fore¬ 
ground  of  well-kept  lawn.  A  good  lawn  is  not  difficult  to  produce.  Volumes  have  been  written  on  lawn 
making  but  by  following  the  simple  directions  below  you  can  have  a  beautiful  and  permanent  lawn  at  a 
reasonable  expenditure. 


Preparing  the  Soil  and  Sowing  the  Seed 


Two  things  are  primarily  essential  in  producing  a  good  lawn, 
good  soil  well  prepared  and  good  seed.  In  preparing  your 
soil  keep  in  mind  that  it  must  be  well  drained  and  that  the 
deeper  the  soil  is  prepared  the  deeper  the  grass  roots  will  go 
and  the  better  your  lawn  will  withstand  the  hot  dry  seasons 
and  remain  thick  and  green.  Work  into  your  soil  plenty  of 
leaf  mold,  humus  or  well  rotted  manure,  if  your  soil  is  heavy 
this  will  lighten  it;  if  it  is  light  this  will  add  substance,  and 


the  fertility  thus  incorporated  deeply  in  the  soil  will  be  of 
great  benefit  in  maintaining  the  dark  green  color  desired. 
Rake  the  surface  fine,  remove  all  stones,  sticks,  etc.,  and 
when  nicely  leveled,  sow  one  of  Templin-Bradley’s  Lawn 
Mixtures,  rake  lightly  and  roll.  A  pamphlet  containing 
full  directions  for  planting  and  the  care  of  your  lawn 
is  enclosed  in  every  5  lb.  or  larger  package  of  seed  or 
will  be  gladly  sent  free  to  those  who  request  it. 


Templin-Bradley’s  Lawn  Mixtures 

Any  one  variety  of  grass  alone  will  not  make  a  completely  satisfactory  lawn,  as  each 
variety  has  its  peculiar  advantage.  Thus  when  several  varieties  are  blended  in  the 
proper  proportions  the  advantages  of  all  are  combined  in  your  lawn.  We  have  spent 
years  of  experimental  work  in  securing  the  proper  varieties  and  proportions  to  use  in 
each  mixture  for  very  best  results.  One  pound  of  our  lawn  mixtures  will  sow  200  to 
250  sq.  ft.  of  new  lawn.  For  filling  in  an  old  lawn  use  one-half  that  amount. 

918  Ideal,  Our  Best  Regular  Mixture 

For  a  fine  permanent  lawn.  It  is  a  carefully  blended  mixture  of  the  following  varieties 
of  hardy  grasses  best  suited  to  growing  a  compact  durable  evergreen  sod;  Kentucky 
Blue  Grass,  Red  Top,  Fescues,  White  Clover  and  Timothy,  a  combination  that  insures 
a  fine  velvety  lawn  that  will  withstand  the  heat  of  summer  and  the  cold  of  winter. 

Lb.  55c,  5  lbs.  $2.60,  10  lbs.  $5.00,  25  lbs.  $12.00,  delivered. 


919  Shady  Nook  Mixture 

The  best  for  shady  places.  A  special  mixture  containing  vari¬ 
eties  that  naturally  grow  in  shaded  places.  Suitable  for  sow¬ 
ing  under  shade  trees  and  in  shady  corners,  where  the  ordinary 
mixture  will  not  do.  The  shady  lawn  must  have  special  care 
as  well  as  the  right  kind  of  seed.  Our  Lawn  Leaflet  explains 
what  is  necessary.  Large  pkt.  15c,  lb.  60c,  5  lbs.  $2.75,  10 
lbs.  $5.20. 


924  Special*  Terrace  Mixture 

It  is  sometimes  difficult  to  get  a  good  turf  established  on  a 
terrace.  Rains  are  liable  to  wash  out  the  seed  before  it  be¬ 
comes  well  rooted.  To  help  overcome  that  difficulty  we 
made  up  a  mixture  of  quick  growing  and  deep  rooting  grasses. 
This  will  become  established  quickly.  Lb.  55c,  5  lbs.  $2.60, 
10  lbs.  $5.00. 


920  Quick  Growth  Mixture 

Makes  a  good  lawn  quickly.  While  not  composed  of  as  fine 
or  expensive  grasses  as  Ideal,  nevertheless  Quick  Growth 
contains  enough  of  these  grasses  to  insure  a  good  lawn  after 
the  biennial  varieties  have  run  out,  and  is  a  very  good  mixture 
for  the  price,  showing  a  high  percentage  of  purity  and  germi¬ 
nation.  Contains  white  clover.  Compares  favorably  with 
many  of  the  “best”  mixtures  on  the  market.  Lb.  40c,  5  lbs. 
$1.90,  10  lbs.  $3.50. 


933  Pure  White  Clover 

Many  people  prefer  to  add  more  White  Clover  when  sowing 
a  regular  mixture  or  to  use  it  for  filing  in  an  old  lawn.  It  does 
well  on  nearly  any  soil  and  by  forming  a  dense  low  growing 
mat,  discourages  the  growth  of  weeds  or  coarse  wild  grasses. 
On  heavy  clay  soils  clover  will  flourish  wonderfully  well,  and 
will  by  loosening  up  the  soil  aid  the  growth  of  other  lawn 
grasses.  Weight  60  lbs.  per  bushel.  Prices  on  best  quality: 
M  lb.  22c,  lb.  75c,  3  lbs.  $2.10,  postpaid.  (Write  for  prices 
on  larger  quantities.)

The  Putting  Green  Requires  Seed  ot  the  Highest  Quality 


For  You  Who  Want  Bent  Grass  Lawns 


Of  recent  years  there  is  an  increasing  demand  for  a  lawn  seed  that  will  duplicate  the  appear¬ 
ance  of  the  Golf  Club  “Putting  Green.”  The  fine  appearance  of  the  greens  are  of  course  due 
to  expert  handling  as  well  as  to  the  quality  and  kind  of  seed  used  and  in  many  locations  it  is 
impossible  to  get  such  results  and  impractical  to  attempt  it.  In  the  opinion  of  many,  just  as 
beautiful  a  lawn  may  be  obtained  from  the  regular  Blue  Grass  Mixtures  such  as  our  Ideal. 


Three  Methods 


Bent  Grass  Requirements 

The  requirements  for  success  with  a  Bent  Grass  Lawn  in 
general  are  the  same  as  for  lawns  of  other  grasses.  The 
drainage  must  be  right,  the  soil  fertilized  and  worked  fine 
and  smooth.  However  there  are  certain  conditions  which 
are  of  such  a  marked  difference.  Blue  Grass  and  other 'simi¬ 
lar  grasses  must  have  a  “Sweet”  or  alkaline  soil  for  their 
greatest  success,  but  with  the  Bent  Grass  the  opposite  is 
true.  Bents  thrive  in  a  soil  of  neutral  condition  and  even 
seem  to  prefer  one  slightly  acid.  The  soil  “sweeteners”  such 
as  lime,  plaster,  etc.,  should  therefore  not  be  used  either 
before  sowing  or  as  after  treatment  at  any  time.  Light 
applications  of  Sulphate  _  of  Ammonia  will  overcome  too 
Alkaline  conditions  and  is  of  very  great  benefit  to  Bent 
Grasses.  Ask  for  complete  descriptive  leaflet  “Bent 
Grass  Lawns.” 

921  Templin-Bradley’s  Superfine 
Bent  Mixture 

We  highly  recommend  the  use  of  this  mixture  as  it  is  made 
up  of  the  best  strains  of  fine  leaved  grasses  suitable  for  the 
“Putting  Green”  or  Lawn.  It  contains  a  liberal  proportion 
of  Bent  Grass  as  well  as  other  varieties  to  secure  a  fine  velvety 
sod  throughout  the  season  from  early  spring  until  late  fall. 
Lb.  80c,  5  lbs.  $3.90,  10  lbs.  $7.50.' 


The  person  who  wishes  to  establish  a  Bent  Grass  Lawn  can 
follow  one  of  three  courses,  as  follows: 

1—  SOW  GERMAN  BENT  GRASS  SEED.  The  mixed 
species  of  Bent  Grasses  as  they  are  grown  and  harvested  in 
Germany  are  considered  the  best  to  use  and  if  the  conditions 
are  right  good  results  should  be  obtained. 

2—  SOW  A  MIXTURE  OF  BENT  SEED  AND  OTHER 
GRASSES.  Bent  seed  alone  is  rather  slow  to  start  and  is 
tender  until,  it  becomes  established.  Furthermore,  the 
conditions  necessary  for  success  with  Bent  may  not  be  present. 
So  we  make  up  a  mixture  of  fine  leaved  grasses  including  a 
good  portion  of  an  extra  fine  grade  of  German  Bent.  Clover 
of  course,  is  omitted.  If  conditions  are  right  for  the  Bent, 
gradually  that  seed  may  replace  the  other  varieties  in  the 
lawn.  If  not  the  other  grasses  will  crowd  out  the  Bent  and 
you  will  have  a  good  lawn  anyway.  See  Templin-Bradley’s 
Superfine  Bent  Mixture. 

3—  VEGETATIVE  OR  STOLON  METHOD.  Stolons  are 
parts  of  the  stems  and  root  stalks  of  certain  strains  of  Bent 
Grasses,  and  they  are  to  be  spread  on  the  soil  and  covered  when 
they  will  take  root.  Any  who  are  interested  in  the  vegeta¬ 
tive  method  of  establishing  a  lawn  should  write  us  for  further 
information  about  it. 


Separate  Grasses  for  Special  Purposes 

Our  various  lawn  mixtures  will  take  care  of  practically  every  need  and  we  are  always  glad  to  make  up  special  formulas  for 
certain  types  of  soils  and  locations.  However,  we  offer  the  following  separate  grasses  and  can  supply  them  in  extra  recleaned 


quality.

934  Superfine  Kentucky  Blue  Grass 

One  of  the  best  fine  leaved  grasses,  a  true  perennial  that 
improves  from  year  to  year  and  lasts  indefinitely.  Leaf 
blades  very  narrow  and  pointed  and  of  a  deep  vivid  green. 
Spreads  by  an  underground  creeping  stem.  _  It  is  one  of  the 
very  best  grasses  for  general  lawn  use,  and  will  do  well  in  any 
good  soil  that  is  not  acid.  Lb.  65c,  5  lbs.  $3.00, 10  lbs.  $5.50. 

935  Pacey’s  Perennial  Rye  Grass 

Rye  Grass  is  a  rapid  grower  and  of  great  value  as  a  “nurse 
grass”  under  most  conditions.  Particularly  useful  when  a 
lawn  is  needed  quickly.  Produces  a  quite  heavy  turf  in  4  to 
5  weeks  from  sowing.  Pacey’s  Perennial  Rye  Grass  is  more 
resistant  to  cold,  is  filler  leaved  and  a  smaller  plant,  much 
better  than  any  of  the  other  Rye  Grasses  for  lawn  purposes. 
Lb.  30c,  5  lbs.  $1 .40,  10  lbs.  $2.50. 


market  conditions  warrant.  Write  for  quantity  prices. 

936  Superfine  Red  Top 

with  a  creeping  habit  of  growth.  Leaf  blades  are  narrow  and 
become  more  narrow  and  fine  with  cutting  of  turf.  Very 
hardy  and  adapts  itself  to  nearly  any  soil,  will  do  well  on  wet 
soil  and  is  not  averse  to  an  acid  soil  condition.  Very  resistant 
to  drought  and  stands  hard  usage  remarkably  well.  Lb.  40c, 
5  lbs.  $1.90,  10  lbs.  $3.50. 

937  German  Bent  Grass 

It  is  impossible  to  obtain  separate  strains  of  the  various 
species  of  Bent  Grasses  and  the  German  mixed  Strains  are 
considered  the  best.  Its  velvet  like  leaves  and  creeping 
root  stocks  make  it  invaluable  for  Putting  Greens  and  extra 
fine  lawns.  The  turf  is  very  tough  and  resistant  to  hard 
usage.  Does  well  on  wet  or  dry  soil,  light  or  heavy,  but  pre¬ 
fers  a  neutral  or  acid  condition.  Lb.  $1.35,  5  lbs.  $6.25, 
10  lbs.  $12.00.  Beware  of  very  cheap  Bent  Seed.

For  Poultry  and  Live  Stock 

Stop-Vermin  is  very  valuable.  Its  fineness  makes  it  more 
effective  and  cheap  owing  to  the  greater  spread.  It  is  not 
injurious  to  animals.  For  poultry  use  the  same  as  any  other 
dust  insecticide.  It  adheres  where  it  is  applied.  The 
importance  of  keeping  poultry  free  from  lice  and  mites  cannot 
be  overestimated.  For  other  live  stock  sprinkle  the  powder 
along  the  back,  behind  the  ears,  etc.,  or  any  place  affected. 
Also  scatter  in  the  bedding  at  night,  so  that  the  heat  of  the 
animal’s  body  will  cause  the  fumes  to  rise  and  penetrate.

Bugs,  Earwigs,  Etc.,  are  exterminated. 

Science  provides  new,  safe  method  that  does  the 
work  without  fuss. 

Snarol  is  a  ready  prepared  meal  that  you  simply 
broadcast  on  the  ground,  under  the  vegetation. 
The  pests  eat  the  meal  and  are  quickly  destroyed. 

Snarol  will  not  deteriorate  from  rain  or  sprinkling  and  is  also  non-iniuripus  to  vegetation 
when  used  according  to  simple  directions.  These  features  distinguish  it  from  ordinary 
controls  and  make  Snarol  popular  with  the  professional  gardeners  and  nursery  men.

syrup  and  placed  about  the  outside  edges 
of  the  hpuse  or  along  '  ant'’  trails  in  the 
garden  if  the  infestation  occurs  there.

transmit  its  mild  poison  to  the  queen  in 
the  nest.  Soon  the  entire  ant  colony  is 
destroyed.

Three  General  Classes  of  Insects 

If  you  do  discover  insects  on  your  plants,  see  what  kind  of  damage  they  are  doing,  and  that  will  tell 
you  in  which  class  they  belong.  Then  by  reading  over  the  characteristics  of  that  class  which  we  give 
below  you  can  go  ahead  intelligently. 


Chewing  Insects  SS  S&TU  o?e£ 


the 
fact 

any  part  of  the  plant  above  the  ground.  These  are  easiest  to 
fight  because  it  is  simply  a  matter  of  poisoning  their  food. 
Potato  bugs,  cabbage  worms,  tomato  worms  and  rose  slugs 
are  common  chewing  insects  and  they  eat  holes  in  the  leaves 
and  often  the  fruit  itself.  By  applying  a  poison  in  the  form 
of  a  powder  or  liquid  to  the  plant,  the  bugs  are  easily  killed. 
Slug  Shot  is  a  very  effective  and  reliable  control  for  this  class 
of  insects  and  is  easily  and  quickly  applied.  Arsenate  of 
Lead  and  Paris  Green  are  two  common  stomach  poisons, 
but  they  are  also  poisonous  to  humans.  Ever  Green  may 
also  be  used  to  kill  chewing  insects. 

Qi  t  rr  T-n  cpefo  These  insects  do  not  chew  the 

OU.LlS.illg  iiioCCLo  the  leaves  but  suck  the  juices 
from  the  inside  of  the  plant  tissues.  A  poison  laid  on  the 
surface  of  the  leaves  will  therefore  not  affect  them.  It  is 
necessary  to  use  something  that  comes  in  contact  with  their 
bodies,  thus  killing  them.  Or  use  a  material  that  is  so  un¬ 
pleasant  to  them  that  they  stay  away . ,  The  first  is  a  '  ‘  contact” 
spray  and  the  second  is  a  "repellent.” 

All  kinds  of  lice  and  aphis  and  squash  and  cucumber  beetles 
are  sucking  insects. 

Ever  Green,  Black-Leaf —40  and  Sulpho  Tobacco  Soap 
and  Volck  are  all  "Contact”  Sprays  and  very  successful  in 
the  control  of  the  sucking  insects.  When  these  liquids  hit 
the  body  of  an  insect  it  is  taken  up  into  the  breathing  pores 
and  kills. 


Lice  and  such  insects  work  fast  and  they  get  out  of  the  way 
quickly  so  early  and  constant  watching  and  spraying  is  neces¬ 
sary7,  spraying  on  the  under  side  as  well  as  the  upper  surfaces 
of  the  leaves.  These  insects  do  not  like  fine  dust.  Often 
times  ordinary  road  dust  (road  dust  mixed  with  tobacco  or 
powdered  line)  sprinkled  over  the  plants  in  sufficient  quanti¬ 
ties  to  entirely  whiten  them  will  keep  the  sucking  insects 
away. 

Undergound  Insects 

than  that  of  the  two  previous  classes.  They  are  hard  to  get 
at.  The  commonest  kind  is  the  root  maggot.  There  are 
also  root  lice,  wire  worms  and  cut  worms  that  work  their 
damage  on  the  underground  parts  of  the  plant.  Fall  spading 
or  plowing  is  one  of  the  best  preventatives  of  this  class  of 
insects  because  the  exposure  destroys  the  larvae  and  eggs  that 
are  in  the  soil.  Root  .maggots  are  hat  ched  from  eggs  laid  by 
a  butterfly  on  the  soil  near  the  stem  of  the  plant  or  right  on 
the  stem. 

Tobacco  Dust  or  other  forms  of  repellent,  such  as  Stop- 
Vermin,  Snarol  or  Vermine  on  the  soil  around  the  plant 
will  prevent  these  butterflies  from  laying  eggs.  Such  prepara¬ 
tions  usually  contain  carbon  disulphide  or  some  similar  evil 
smelling  liquid.  This  liquid  forms  a  heavy  gas  which  sinks 
down  in  the  soil  and  effectually  destroys  any  insect  life  it 
reaches. 

T?nH  prvb<5  Such  as  moles  and  rats  may  be  controlled  by 
JXLM-ICllLo  the  use  of  traps  or  powerful  gas  forming 
liquids  or  powders  such  as  Carbon  Disulphide  or  Cyanogas.

The  Best  House  Plants  Need  Good  Food! 

A  50-cent  Can  Will  Last  a  Long  Time 


Florists  Succeed  With  It 


A  florist  simply  must  make 
a  plant  look  nice  or  else  he 
cannot  sell  it.  So  in  his  greenhouse,  he  experiments  with  plant  foods  until 
he  finds  just  the  right  combination  to  make  plants  thrive.  Mr.  Templin  spent 
nearly  fifty  years  in  his  own  greenhouses  and  made  a  careful  study  of  plant 
foods.  About  four  years  ago  he  began  to  work  with  probably  the  most  noted 
chemist  in  America,  to  combine  these  elements  into  a  well-balanced  plant 
food  which  we  could  supply  our  regular  customers.  Watch-em-Grow  plant 
food  will  help  you  to  do  well  with  plants.

Postpaid  30c  each,  3  for  80c,  doz.  $3.00. 


The  Best  Hedge  Shears 


This  shear  made  by  Wiss  is  the  best  that  we  have  ever  tried. 
You  will  appreciate  these  following  features. 

Durability.  The  large  re  holt  holds  the  blades  in  perfect 
adjustment.  It  is  by  far  the  largest  and  most  durable  bolt 
used  in  hedge  clippers.  The  rugged  joint,  and  hardened 
cutlery-steel  blades  also  contribute  towards  long  fife. 
Superior  Construction.  The  blades  are  made  of  high 
carbon  cutlery  steel,  hardened  and  tempered  with  great 
accuracy.  The  handles  are  made  of  drop  forged  steel,  with 
wood  grips  for  the  sake  of  comfort. 

Don’t  Tire  the  Arms.  In  weight,  this  new  tool  is  no 
heavier  than  the  old  style  hedge  shears,  but  it  is  far  better 
balanced,  and  actually  seems  much  fighter.  This  is  because 
the  weight  is  evenly  distributed,  and  the  tool  is  not  over¬ 
weighted  at  the  points. 

Cut  Easily.  Wiss  hedge  clippers  have  one  blade 
ground  to  a  knife  edge  and  the  other  blade  serrated. 

It  has  been  found  that  the  knife  edge  cuts  easily,  and  the 
saw-tooth  or  serrated  blade  grips  the  twigs  and  prevents 
slipping.  This  makes  possible  better  and  faster  work  than 
with  the  old  style  shears. 

Conveniently  Sharpened.  The  knife  edge  may  be  honed 
with  a  Carborundum  Stone — without  taking  the  shears  to  a 
grinder  or  removing  the  bolt. 

Easily  Kept  Clean.  Blades  are  nickel  plated.  Will  not 
rust  easily.  Can  be  easily  kept  clean  by  wiping  with  rag. 

Price:  No.  882  7^  inch  blade  $3.00.  Prices 

No.  884  10  inch  blade  $4.00.  include

885  Doo-Klip  Grass  Shear 

Easy  To  Use 
Durable 
Guaranteed 
$1.50  Postpaid 

Here  is  a  grass  shear  that  will  not  tire  your  hand,  because  of 
its  construction,  it  takes  the  wrist-tire  and  finger  ache  out  of 
lawn  trimming'  Self-sharpening  and  self  tensioning,  clips 
fine  grass  and  heavy  stalks  with  equal  ease.  The  blades  will 
not  spread  and  slip  over  tough  grass.  It  is  rust  resisting  and 
durable  and  absolutely  guaranteed.  Price  No.  885  $1.50. 


886  “Out-U-Kum”  Weeder 

A  slight  Push  and  Pull  thoroughly  loosens  the  sur¬ 
rounding  soil  and  removes  not  only  the  weed,  but  the 
entire  root. 

When  pushed  into  the  ground,  the  two  points  guide 
the  BRIDGE  down  alongside  the  weed,  loosening  the 
soil  from  that  side.  It  then  crosses 
under  the  root  disengaging  the  latter. 

As  the  tool  is  withdrawn  the  Bridge 
slips  up  the  opposite  side  of  the  weed, 
loosening  the  ground  from  that  side 
and  engages  the  head  of  the  weed 
above  the  ground.  The  now  thoro¬ 
ughly  loosened  weed  is  readily  with¬ 
drawn  in  its  entirety  with  little  or  no 
clinging  soiL 

Price:  886  Postpaid  85c.

Templin -Bradley’s  Bulbs  and  Shrubs 

The  more  permanent  things  for  your  Garden 
from  our  Bulb  and  Shrub  Department 


The  things  you  will  wish  to  plant  for  a  lasting  effect  in  your  garden  are  the  bulbs,  shrubs,  roots,  vines, 
roses  and  small  fruits  offered  on  the  following  pages.  The  following  facts  concerning  the  different  kinds 
of  stock,  the  different  methods  of  handling  all  of  it  and  the  information  available  for  those  of  you  who 
wish  it,  will  be  found  most  interesting. 


Dormant  Not  Dead  ^2 

in  this  section  of  this  catalog  is  in  a  dormant 
condition.  It  is  due  to  their  ability  to  “sleep” 
over  each  winter  that  they  are  of  really  permanent 
worth  to  you.  They  lose  their  foliage  in  winter, 
just  as  the  Maple  and  Elm  trees  do.  Some  of 
them,  like  gladioli,  dahlias  and  cannas,  must  be 
taken  indoors  in  the  winter  and  stored  in  the 
cellar.  Others,  like  vines,  roses,  shrubs  and  small 
fruits  may  be  left  outdoors,  only  the  roses  needing 
some  protection. 

Separate  Departments  ai?oSf 

this  stock  is  of  a  different  nature  from  seeds,  we 
have  to  handle  it  in  an  entirely  separate  depart¬ 
ment.  That  is  also  the  reason  they  require  differ¬ 
ent  packing  and  weather  conditions,  to  insure 
delivery  to  you  in  first  class  shape.  Gladiolus, 
dahlias  and  cannas  must  be  kept  dry  and  can  not  be 
permitted  to  freeze,  even  while  in  mail  and  express 
cars.  On  the  other  hand,  shrubs,  vines,  roses, 
roots  and  small  fruits  must  be  packed  with  damp 
moss  about  the  tender  little  roots  (which  can  easily 
be  seen  in  the  small  picture  below). 


At  Planting  Time  1°  &X3& 

with  these  details,  this  explanation  is  made  in 
order  that  you  will  not  wonder  why  we  fill  your 
seed  order  shortly  after  received,  regardless  of  the 
weather,  while  your  shrub  and  bulb  order  will  not 
be  filled  until  weather  conditions  all  over  the 
country  make  it  safe  to  ship  and  as  near  to  plant¬ 
ing  time  in  your  vicinity  as  possible.  Our  customers 
appreciate  the  fact  that  we  are  in  most  cases  better 
equipped  to  keep  the  bulbs  and  shrubs  in  prime, 
dormant  condition  than  they  are,  so  are  glad  to 
have  us  handle  their  orders  as  we  do.  You  will 
like  it,  too. 

Give  Them  Time  after  planting, 

that  all  plants .  will  not  begin  to  show  signs  of 
development  in  the  same  length  of  time.  This 
word  of  caution  is  added  because  now  and  then, 
people  will  write  in  to  inform  us  that  some  of  their 
plants  have  not  begun  to  leaf  out  and  they  are 
afraid  they  are  not  alive.  After  waiting  suffi¬ 
ciently  long,  they  find  the  leaves  begin  to  take  shape 
and  that  their  conclusion  was  made  too  hastily. 
So,  be  sure  to  give  your  newly  planted  stock  plenty 
of  time.  You  will  be  well  repaid  for  your  patience.

A  Corner  of  Our  Own  Nursery  Where  Much  of  This 
Stock  Is  Grown 


THE  TEMPLIN-BRADLEY  CO.,  NATIONWIDE  SEEDSMEN  AND  NURSERYMEN,  CLEVELAND,  OHIO 


— Inexpensive,  Because  They  Last  for  Years 

How  true  it  is  that  “It’s  not  a  Home  till  it’s  planted.”  Whether  it  be  Flowering  Shrubs,  Evergreens,  Ornamental 
Trees,  Roses  or  Perennial  Flowers  they  so  quickly  and  completely  become  a  part  of  the  whole  picture  that  we  soon 
forget  just  how  much  they  really  mean  to  the  appearance  and  beauty  of  the  home.  Everyone  realizes  to  some 
extent  that  these  things  of  nature  are  necessary  for  the  proper  atmosphere  of  peace  and  happiness  about  a  home, 
for  it  is  the  exception  rather  than  the  rule  when  we  see  a  house  without  a  planting  of  some  sort.  Just  how  much 
these  gifts  of  nature  mean  to  the  beauty  of  a  home  can  only  be  understood  by  seeing  a  house  without  shrubs, 
trees,  vines,  etc.,  and  comparing  it  with  one  that  has  been  properly  planted. 

Nature  Will  Help  You 
Complete  the  Picture 

But  she  must  be  supplied  with  the  material 
to  work  with.  .Here  is  where  our  Bulb  and 
Shrub  Department  is  of  valuable  help  to 
you.  We  have  gathered  and  grown  for  you 
all  of  the  plants,  vines,  etc.,  that  are  listed 
in  the  following  pages  that  you  may  make 
a  selection  for  your  planting  from  many  of 
the  best  and  most  desirable  varieties. 

The  Proper  Size  to 
Plant 

These  are  not  the  full  grown  plants  and 
shrubs  that  your  home  needs  for  its  com¬ 
plete  beautification,  but  they  are  the  proper 
sizes  that  nature  decrees  for  her  need  that 
she  may  most  successfully  do  her  part. 
And  they  are  the  sizes  that  years  of  experi¬ 
ence  have  shown  to  be  proper  that  you 
may  the  most  easily  and  most  successfully 
plant  without  the  aid  of  an  experienced 
landscape  gardener. 

They  Will  Quickly 
Grow 

With  these  plants  properly  planted  nature 
will,  in  her  mysterious  way,  very  quickly 
add  the  size  and  beauty  necessary  to  fully 
complete  the  picture  of  peaceful  harmon¬ 
ious  beauty. 


There  is  No  Better 
Information  Available 

on  gardening  or  planting 
subjects  than  that  from  life 
long  experience  of  others. 
This  is  available  in  the  books  listed  on  pages  84  and  105. 


What  This  Department  Offers  You 

We  have  endeavored  in  compiling  this  catalog  to  include  as  much  as  possible  that  will  help  you  in  the  proper 
of  the 


selection  and  the  proper  use  of  the  varieties  you  purchase 
from  this  department  read  first  the  paragraphs  below. 

„  1 11c  Pages  88  to  91.  In  this  section  we 
UlaUlUlUd  offer  many  real  worthy  varieties,  both 
in  separate  varieties  and  in  assortments.  There  are  none  in 
our  fist  but  that  with  average  conditions  will  give  you  ex¬ 
cellent  satisfaction.  There  are  many  more  varieties  of 
Gladiolus  that  our  list  does  not  include  but  with  few  excep¬ 
tions  they  are  in  no  way  superior  to  those  we  have  included 
and  they,  too,  are  much  higher  priced. 


If  you  are  contemplating  the  selection  of  varieties 


Bqllliqc  Pages  92  to  94.  Here  again  we  do  not  list 
JL'«"lTlldo  as  many  varieties  as  some  but  every  one  that 
has  been  included  is  of  especial  merit  and  sure  to  give  you

that  are  just  as  worthy  of  a  place  in  your  garden  as  the  old

A  $60,000  Gladiolus  Sensation 


The  Work  of  a  Specialist 

To  produce  gladiolus  of  startlingly  new  forms,  colors  and  sizes,  a  grower  in  northern 
Indiana  spent  many  years.  His  success  was  remarkable  in  hybridizing  by  selectihg 
and  crossing  the  choicest  varieties,  to  produce  new  types  and  colors,  he  has  become 
almost  a  wizard.  His  name,  Kunderd,  became  known  wherever  gladiolus  were  grown. 


An  Unusual  Hobby 


A  wealthy  Cleveland  manufacturer  became  interested  and  when  he  bought  Mr.  Kun- 
derd’s  entire  salable  stock  of  bulbs  for  $60,000.00  several  years  ago,  he  created  a  sen¬ 
sation.  This  was  the  largest  sale  of  gladiolus  bulbs  ever  made,  but  more  interseting, 
he  wanted  them  as  a  hobby.  He  transferred  the  bulbs  to  his  estate  near  Cleveland 
and  has  grown  them  there  ever  since.  In  the  fall  of  1927  we  learned  that  he  had  his 
fun  out  of  this  hobby  and  was  ready  to  sell  the  entire  stock  of  more  than  100  varieties 
and  more  than  one  quarter  of  a  million  salable  bulbs,  and  a  million  or  more  planting 
size,  that  are  now  ready  for  market. 


They  Looked  Good  to  Us 

We  spent  a  gread  deal  of  time  investigating  the  stock,  looking  at  it  from  every  angle — 
its  desirability  to  our  customers — -the  health  of  the  bulbs — the  care  with  which  they 
had  been  grown  and  finally  we  derided  to  buy  them  for  you.  Mr.  Templin  personally 
supervised  the  planting  of  the  million  or  more  planting  stock  and  spent  many  days 
watching  the  development  of  the  hundred  or  more  varieties,  and  it  certainly  was  a 
great  pleasure  to  more  fully  realize  the  high  quality  and  real  value  of  this  stock. 

We  Bought  Them  For  You 

Many  of  these  varieties  sold  for  $1.00  to  $5.00  per  bulb  and  every  variety  is  of  unusual 
merit.  We  purchased  the  entire  stock  at  a  price  so  low  than  we  can  make  and  offer 
you  cannot  afford  to  overlook.  It  has  been  a  job  to  take  on  this  big  stock  in  addition 
to  our  regular  stock  of  more  than  a  million  bulbs,  so  we  offer  them  only  in  assortments 
and  mixtures,  as  we  can  give  you  bigger  values  for  your  money,  than  would  be  possible 
were  we  to  wrap  and  label  each  bulb  separately.  Fully  75  %  of  all  the  Gladiolus  bulbs 
we  sell  are  in  the  unnamed  assortments  and  mixtures  as  the  purchasers  generally  do 
not  care  for  the  names. _ 

Cj7o  A f  Riilkc  As  a  general  rule,  the  larger  bulbs  are  the  better.  This, 

UI  LHJIUo  however,  is  not  true  with  Gladiolus  bulbs.  Any  Gladiolus 

grower  will  tell  you  that  a  healthy  young  bulb  1  to  1  inch  in  diameter  will  give 
better  satisfaction  than  an  old  bulb  to  2  inches  in  size.  Gladiolus  cut  flowers 
growers  universally  plant  one  inch  bulbs  in  preference  to  older  bulbs.  The  bulbs 
offered  in  the  following  assortment  and  mixture  will  be  1  to  inches  in  diameter 
unless  otherwise  stated. 

Special  Assortments  of  Kunderd  Varieties 

In  these  assortments  we  select  one  bulb  from  each  of  12,  25,  or  50  named  varieties;  the  bulbs,  however,  will.not  be  separately 
named.  This  plan  will  give  the  purchaser  a  fine  assortment  of  varieties  at  a  nominal  cost. 

3541— 12  Varieties,  do  two  alike,  but  not  separately  labeled  $0.60 

3542 —  25  Varieties,  no  two  alike,  but  not  separately  labeled  $1.10 

_ 3543—50  Varieties,  no  two  alike,  but  not  separately  labeled  $2.10 _ 

Glory  Mixture  of  Kunderd  Varieties 

The  difference  between  this  glory  mixture  and  the  above  assortments  is,  that  this  mixture  contains  more  than  one  hundred 
varieties  mixed  together,  and  orders  are  filled  from  this  mixture  but  we  do  not  guarantee  that  an  order  for  100  bulbs  will  contain 
100  varieties.  We  offer  them  in  two  sizes  as  follows: 

3546.  LARGE  SIZE.  In  size  from  1 3^8  to  1  inch  and  up  in  diameter,  every  bulb  guaranteed  to  produce  a  fine  large  spike 

of  flowers  this  year.  12  for  50c,  50  for  $1.75,  100  for  $3.25,  1000  for  $30.00. 

3547  MEDIUM  SIZE.  Size  about  %  to  lf£  inch  in  diameter.  Healthy  young  bulbs,  every  one  guaranteed  to  produce  a 
nice  spike,  but  not  quite  as  large  as  the  first  size.  12  for  35c,  50  for  $1.25,  100  for  $2.00,  1000  for  $15.00. 


Standard  Superfine  Mixture 


We  sell  annually  hundreds  of  thousands  of  this  popular  mixture.  It  contains  75  or  more  popular,  well  known  varieties  that 
always  give  satisfaction  including  America,  Kirtland,  Halley,  Mary  Pickford,  Pendleton,  Panama,  Princepine,  Schwaben, 
Wilbrink,  etc.,  that  are  always  largely  grown  for  cut  flowers.  These  are  offered  in  two  sizes. 

3539.  LARGE  SIZE.  In  size  from  1  to  1 inch  and  up  in  diameter,  every  bulb  guaranteed  to  produce  a  fine  large  spike  of 
flowers  this  year.  12  for  40c,  50  for  $1.50,  100  for  $2.75,  1000  for  $22.50. 

3540.  MEDIUM  SIZE.  Size  about  %  to  \\i  inch  in  diameter.  Healthy  young  bulbs,  every  one  guaranteed  to  produce  a 

nice  spike,  but  not  quite  as  large  as  the  first  size.  12  for  25c,  50  for  $1.00,  100  for  $1.75,  1000  for  $15.00. _ 

Ruffled  Mixture  of  Kunderd  Varieties 

This  new  ruffled  type  is  one  of  Kunderd’s  introductions.  They  differ  from  other  varieties,  the  petals  being  more  or  less 
ruffled  adding  to  their  attractiveness.  A  choice  mixture. 

3548.  Price  doz.  75c,  50  for  $2.75,  100  for  $5.00.

in  colors.  Delicate  shades  of  yellow,  salmon  and  orange,  unknown  in  any  other  class, 
varieties.

Grow  Gladiolus  Flowers  For  Tourists 

Good  roads  make  it  easy  to  sell  Gladiolus  flowers  of  your  own  growing  to  people  who  pass.  The  bulbs  will  bloom  in  from  75 
to  90  days  after  planting.  Lots  of  folks  divide  their  planting  stock  into  several  equal  lots  and  then  plant  the  first  lot  early  in 
April,  following  with  another  each  two  weeks  until  July.  This  gives  continuous  flowers  all  summer  and  fall.  Cultivation  is 
easy  because  all  that  is  necessary  is  to  keep  the  soil  loose  around  the  plants.  A  child  or  an  old  person  in  your  family  can 
attend  to  sales  or  even  the  housewife,  as  often  happens,  when  she  has  unobstructed  view  of  the  road.  Remember,  this  will  pro¬ 
vide  beautiful  flowers  in  your  garden — give  you  some  pin  money  and  then  you  have  the  bulbs  and  bulblets  for  next  year.

Why  and  How  to  Grow  Dahlias  Show  or  Ball 

The  great  increase  in  popularity  enjoyed  by  Dahlias  the  past  few  years  is  well  deswrved  because  of  their  all  around 
garden  usefulness.  Just  to  mention  a  few  reasons  why. 

The  foliage  and  form  of  the  plant  is  attractive,  even  without  the  flower;  it  is  easy  to  grow;  it  is  pretty  as  a  hedge 
or  border  plant,  in  clumps,  or  as  single  specimens;  the  blooming  season  is  long,  July  to  October  15th  and  the  color 
range  is  unlimited — you  can  have  flowers  of  the  softest,  most  delicate  hues,  or  dazzling  scarlets:  they  are  equally 
good  in  the  garden  or  for  cutting. 


3332  Combination  C

very  reasonable  price.

Our  own  stock  of  Dahlias  is  a  delight  to  every  visitor  at  our

by  growing  very  large  quantities,  we  are  able  to  offer  them 
to  you  in  these  collections  at  very  much  below  the  usual 
retail  prices  for  named  varieties.  It  costs  us  very  little 
more  to  grow  a  high  class  Dahlia  than  an  ordinary 
cheap  variety.  As  new  varieties  are  constantly  being  added 
we  discard  the  common  varieties.  If  you  want  really  high 
grade  Dahlias  and  do  not  care  for  the  names,  you  cannot 
afford  to  overlook  these  combinations.

NATURE  OF  THE  ROOTS.  The  dahlia  root  is  a  cluster 
of  tubers  or  “toes”,  but  when  you  buy  them  you  get 
separate  tubers  which  have  been  divided  from  the  main 
cluster.  Each  single  tuber  showing  an  eye  or  sprout  will 
produce  a  plant  and  the  undivided  clumps  should  never  be 
planted  in  that  condition. 


STAKING.  For  best  results  and  exhibition  flowers  the 
plants  should  be  supported  by  stout  stakes.  Set  the  stakes 
in  the  ground  at  planting  time  so  that  it  is  not  necessary  to 
disturb  the  roots  later.  If  you  set  the  stakes  with  the  aid  of 
a  crowbar  it  will  be  easier  and  less  damaging  to  the  stake. 


WHEN  TO  PLANT.  The  time  of  planting,  of  course, 
depends  upon  your  location  and  the  weather.  Dahlias  should 
not  be  set  outdoors  until  the  soil  is  warm,  in  Cleveland  usually 
in  late  May  or  early  June.  We  have  seen  them  yield  good 
results  if  planted  as  late  as  July.  For  early  results  the  tubers 
may  be  potted  or  started  in  flats  indoors  and  transplanted 
out  when  the  weather  permits. 

THE  ACTUAL  PLANTING.  The  soil  should  be  worked  up 
nice  and  mellow  before  any  planting  is  done.  Lay  the  tubers 
on  their  side  with  sprouts  pointing  up  in  trenches,  six  inches 
deep,  and  cover  carefully  to  avoid  breaking  off  sprouts  in 
case  they  are  well  started.  Most  varieties  should  be  spaced 
4x4  ft.  apart  in  order  to  allow  for  their  best  development  and 
to  make  cultivation  around  them  easy. 

WATERING  AND  FERTILIZING.  The  dahlia  plant 
consists  largely  of  water  and  it  must  have  plenty  of  water  to 
grow  and  produce  the  best  flowers.  Cultivation  conserves 
moisture  but  if  rains  are  infrequent  and  your  soil  is  of  such 
consistency  that  it  dries  out  rapidly  you  must  turn  the  hose 
on.  Remember  it  is  the  soil  and  roots  that  need  the  water, 
not  the  tops,  and  when  you  water  do  it  thoroughly.  When 
the  Dahlia  plant  lacks  moisture  its  fibers  harden  and  it  cannot 
produce  a  good  crop. 

Dahlias  do  not  require  very  rich  soil.  They  will  do  well  on 
most  types  of  soil,  however,  very  heavy  clays  should  be 
loosened  and  light  sandy  soil  should  be  made  retentive  of 
moisture  by  the  addition  of  good  humus.  You  can  over 
fertilize  dahlias  with  nitrogen  so  that  they  grow  very  rank  at 
the  expense  of  flower  production.  Work  some  good,  well- 
balanced  fertilizer  into  the  soil  before  planting,  and  a  light 
application  or  two  as  the  buds  start  to  open  is  sufficient. 


PRUNING  and  DISBUDDING.  Real  Dahlia  enthusiasts 
usually  work  among  their  plants  to  get  them  to  yield  extra 
fine  flowers.  Only  one  main  stalk  is  allowed  to  grow  and 
this  is  tied  to  the  stake.  Some  branches  may  be  allowed  to 
develop  though  most  growers  pinch  off  the  lower  branches  as 
they  are  not  liable  to  produce  good  flowers  and  they  hinder 
cultivation.  This  pruning  allows  the  development  of  long 
and  stiffer  stems.  The  remaining  branches,  if  allowed  to 
grow  undisturbed,  will  throw  lateral  branches  and  many  buds. 
These  lateral  branches  should  be  pinched  off  giving  the 
strength  to  the  main  flowering  branch.  A  half  dozen  or  more 
buds  may  develop  at  the  end  of  this  branch  but  save  only 
the  central  bud  if  you  want  exhibition  flowers. 

CUTTING  THE  FLOWERS.  To  have  the  flowers  at  their 
best,  cut  the  blooms  in  the  morning  or  evening,  place  in 
water  up  to  the  base  of  the  petals  and  put  in  a  cool  place 
for  a  few  hours. 

CARE  OF  THE  ROOTS.  After  the  first  light  frosts  in  the 
fall  the  roots  should  be  dug,  the  tops  cut  off  and  the  clumps 
stored  in  the  cellar.  Place  them  with  the  top  of  the  clump 
down,  so  that  any  plant  juice  present  in  the  stalk  will  dram 
off.  This  point  is  important  as  the  acid  may  later  cause  the 
roots  to  rot.  Another  method  is  to  cut  the  tops  off  the  plants 
and  let  them  stay  in  the  ground  for  a  few  days  before  digging. 
During  that  time  the  acid  will  evaporate.  Let  as  much  dirt 
as  will  stick  on  the  clumps  and  then  bury  them  in  light  soil 
or  sand.  They  should  be  kept  cool,  but  not  in  danger  of 
freezing.  If  they  seem  to  be  drying  up  or  shriveling  during 
the  winter,  moisten  the  sand.

Getting  the  Most  from  Your  Cannas 

We  do  not  believe  that  the  really  good  varieties  of  Cannas  are  well  enough  known  generally, 
nor  appreciated  as  they  should  be  for  their  many  good  and  useful  qualities.  Of  course,  as 
bedding  plants  massed  in  groups  by  themselves,  bordered  perhaps  by  a  lower  edging  plant, 
is  where  we  know  them  best,  and  this  is  without  a  doubt  one  of  the  most  common  uses  for 
them.  But  have  you  ever  tried  interspersing  them  in  your  border  plantings  especially 
where  you  need  more  foliage,  or  combined  with  herbaceous  shrubs?  The  taller  varieties 
are  especially  useful  as  background  plantings  for  your  annual  beds.  By  studying  the 
height  and  other  features  of  each  variety  you  will  undoubtedly  discover  just  where  you  need  them  to  help  out  the  balance 
of  your  plantings. 

You  cannot  have  your  soil  too  rich  for  Cannas  for  this  fertility  is  what  gives  you  the  great  quantity  and  richness  of  both 
foliage  and  bloom.  Plenty  of  water  is  also  of  the  greatest  help  to  them. 

Four  Cannas  of  Great  Merit 

Many  new  varieties  of  Cannas  have  been  developed  during  the  past  few  years  but  very  few  of  them  surpassing  in  beauty 
or  usefulness  those  we  have  listed  above  which  have  given  such  universal  success  and  satisfaction  to  thousands  of  our 
patrons.  But  the  four  excellent  varieties  listed  below  are  really  deserving  of  much  praise  and  worthy  of  a  place  in  every 
garden.  They  are  the  outstanding  varieties  among  recent  introductions  and  are  sure  to  please  you.  We  are  glad  to  be

Miscellaneous  Summer  Flowering  Bulbs  — 

Among  the  various  Summer  Flowering  Bulbs  some  are  especially  worthy  of  your  attention  and  deserving  of  much 
credit.  Below  we  list  some  of  the  varieties  that  we  know  you  will  have  success  with  and  which  are  sure  to  please  you. 

Amaryllis 

The  Amaryllis  is  fast  becoming  one  of  the  most  appreciated  flowering  bulbous 
plants,  producing  gorgeous  showy  blooms  with  a  minimum  of  care.  They  give 
universal  satisfaction  when  their  requirements  are  understood.  To  produce  the 
most  satisfactory  results  the  following  culture  should  be  of  help  to  you. 

PTTT  'TT  TP’R'  The  Amaryllis  should  always  be  grown  in  pots.  Never 
^  ^  ■tvJ-'  dry  the  bulbs  off  as  you  do  Gladiolus,  Tulips,  or  Hya¬ 

cinths.  They  have  rather  heavy  fleshy  roots  that  should  never  be  disturbed. 
Plant  the  bulb  in  a  6  or  7  inch  pot.  Water  freely  to  encourage  growth.  It  is 
sometimes  difficult  to  make  them  bloom  when  first  planted  or  until  they  have 
formed  roots.  Keep  them  over  the  summer  months  by  burying  the  pot  on  the 
north  side  of  the  garden  fence  in  partial  shade  where  they  will  fill  the  pot  with 
roots.  Before  frost  lift  the  pot  and  winter  in  the  fruit  cellar.  Do  not  permit  the 
soil  to  dry  out.  Toward  spring  they  always  send  up  one  or  more  flower  spikes 
when  they  should  be  placed  in  a  warm  room  to  bloom.  They  should  be  re¬

- T  emplin -Bradley’s  T  uberous  Begonias 

Unquestionably  Tuberous  Begonias  are  among  the  most  beautiful  and  satisfactory  of  all  summer  flower¬ 
ing  bulbous  plants.  Too  much  cannot  be  said  in  praise  of  their  wonderful  range  of  exquisite  colors 
long  blooming  season  and  ease  of  culture. 

TTnr  OiTf-rlor-kt-  florrlon  They  are  really  at  their  best  planted  in  beds  in  the  open  ground,  where  they  are 

A  UULUUU1  VJTd.1  U.CII  in  partial  shade.  The  ideal  location  is  on  the  North  or  East  side  of  the  house,  or 

porch  where  they  will  be  in  shade  part  of  the  day,  and  will  be  protected  from  the  hot  afternoon  sun,  and  drying  winds.  When 
once  established  they  will  stand  a  lot  of  sunshine  if  freely  watered.  They  succeed  best  in  a  loose,  rather  sandy  soil  with  a 
mulching  of  Leaf-Mold  or  Peat  Moss.  Mr.  Templin  grows  them  very  successfully  in  front  of  a  North  porch  where  they  receive 
no  sunshine  from  9  A.  M.  to  5.  P.  M.  Many  people  stop  to  admire  them,  and  ask  “what  are  these  beautiful  flowers?  We 
have  never  seen  anything  like  them.” 

Popular  in  Europe,  as  Geraniums  in  America 


When  Mr.  Bradley  returned  from  Europe  he  made  the  remark 
that  these  flowers  were  as  common  in  the  dooryards  of  North¬ 
ern  Europe  as  Geraniums  and  Salvias  are  here.  They 
deserve  more  extensive  culture  in  this  country. 

For  Window  Boxes 

If  you  have  a  partially  shaded  window  box,  where  other 
plants  do  not  succeed  very  well,  try  a  few  Tuberous  Begonias 
in  it.  We  have  had  reports  of  some  exclient  results  from  our 
customers.  Use  soil  that  contains  a  large  amount  of  humus. 
They  are  specially  desirable  for  apartment  houses,  for  porch 
and  window  boxes  where  other  flowers  do  not  succeed. 


PTTT  TT  rPTr  The  bulbs  should  be  started  into  growth 
LJ  i-/  i.  LJ  XvJ_y  jn  April  You  can  start  a  half-dozen 
bulbs  in  a  6  or  8  inch  pot.  Fill  the  pot  almost  full  with  sand, 
or  very  sandy  soil  (we  use  mostly  sand).  Press  the  bulbs  into 
the  sand  firmly,  and  cover  a  half  inch  deep.  Water  freely, 
cover  the  pot  with  a  pane  of  glass  and  set  in  a  warm  place. 
They  will  need  no  light  for  ten  days  or  so.  When  the  plants 
appear  above  the  soil  then  place  the  pot  in  a  sunny  window. 
About  the  last  of  May  carefully  transplant  in  the  bed  where 
they  are  to  bloom.  Water  freely  in  hot  dry  weather,  and  you 
will  be  repaid  with  an  abundance  of  beautiful  flowers.  We 
have  grown  them  4  to  6  inches  across. 


We  Offer  Them  in  Many  Colors — Single  and  Double 

The  bulbs  we  have  are  all  good  sized,  blooming  bulbs,  big  enough  and  vigorous  enough  to  give  you  excellent 
results.  Although  in  separate  colors  we  do  not  guarantee  the  definite  shades  as  it  is  according  to  their  nature  to 
show  some  variation. 


Single  Varieties 

Some  of  these  singles  produce  very  large  flowers.  We  have 
seen  many  over  4  inches  in  diameter.  The  texture  of  the 
petals  is  not  like  any  other  Begonia  flower,  waxy,  yet  looks 
like  velvet.

—  Landscaping  Your  Own  Home  Grounds — i 


Perhaps  many  have  thought  it  impossible  to  do  any  thing  worth  while  toward  permanently  beautifying  their  home 
without  the  services  of  a  landscape  architect.  You  no  doubt  can  recall  instances  where  new  homes  have  been 
built  and  practically  no  planting  aside  from  the  lawn  has  been  done  just  because  of  this  mistaken  idea. 


If  you  wish,  to  improve  your  own  place,  the  easiest  way  to  get 
started  and  the  most  economical  way  is  to  take  a  large  sheet 
of  paper,  draw  carefully  to  scale  as  large  as  your  paper  will 
permit,  the  outline  of  your  lot,  place  the  house  and  other 
buildings  in  the  proper  positions  also  locate  trees,  drives  and 
walks  on  the  drawing.  Y our  first  step  should  be  to  plan  for  the 
front  of  the  house.  Turn  to  page  121  of  this  catatog  and  you 
will  see  two  groupings  of  shrubs  arranged  for  plantings  of  this 
nature.  Study  these  sketches  thoroughly  and  then  with  the 
aid  of  the  descriptions  of  each  shrub  in  that  department  of 
the  catalog,  especially  their  height  and  type  of  growth,  make 
selections  for  your  own  plantings  and  locate  them  on  your 
drawing  with  similar  small  circles  numbering  each  one  and 
keeping  a  list  of  shrubs  selected.  Do  the  same  thing  where 
your  walk  or  drive  joins  the  side  walk  as  shown  on  the  same 
page,  if  you  wish  to  plant  something  there. 

Next,  consider  the  foundation  walls  at  the  sides  and  rear, 
if  you  wish  to  partly  shield  its  unsightly  appearance  from  the 


street  and  to  break  the  necessarily  harsh  lines.  Follow  the 
same  method  of  placing  small  circles  at  the  place  each  plant  is 
to  go  and  fill  in  the  figures,  indicating  the  land  of  plant  to  be 
used. 

Now  by  the  time  you  have  completed  your  planning  thus  far 
you  will  have  become  much  interested  for  it  is  a  very  absorb¬ 
ing  task  and  much  more  so  because  it  is  your  own  property 
you  are  planning.  The  rear  yard  will  also  need  attention  and 
ideas  may  be  obtained  from  the  opposite  page  that  carried 
out  in  your  own  ideas  will  do  very  nicely.  Here  you  should  use 
a  wider  variety  of  plants,  perennials,  vines,  leaving  space  for 
annual  plantings  of  flowers  and  even  provide  for  a  vegetable 
garden  if  you  desire.  You,  of  course,  do  not  have  to  do  all 
this  planting  in  one  year  but  you  can  do  part  each  year  work¬ 
ing  from  your  plan,  until  when  entirely  completed  you  will 
have  a  yard  and  garden  that  will  be  a  great  joy  and  pleasure 
to  you. 


Planning  Your  Rose  Garden 

By  all  means  plan  to  include  some  Roses  in  your  planting.  Their  beauty  and  fragrance  are  beyond  compare  and 
you  will  be  repaid  many  fold  by  the  many  blooms  they  will  furnish  you.  Roses  are  not  difficult  to  grow  if  a  few 
fundamentals  are  understood.  Read  carefully  page  130  and  you  will  readily  learn  these  necessary  steps  in  growing 
the  Queen  of  all  flowers. 


The  Complete  Rose  Garden 


The  above  sketch  of  a  well  arranged  Rose  Garden  is  just  a 
suggestion  perhaps  too  large  for  some  and  yet  too  small  for 
others,  but  from  it  you  can  obtain  many  ideas  that  you  can 
incorporate  in  your  own  plan  for  a  Rose  Garden. 

The  letters  and  numerals  are  to  indicate  the  best  locations  of 
each  type  of  Roses.  A,  B,  C,  D,  E  and  F  indicate  the  best 
locations  for  the  climbing  roses,  on  the  arch  over  the  entrance 
and  on  the  lattices  or  fence  at  the  rear  of  the  garden.  1,  2,  3, 
4,  and  5  indicate  different  varieties  of  Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses 
these  are  of  taller  habit  of  growth  than  the  Hybrid  Teas  which 
should  be  arranged  in  the  inner  beds  G,  H,  I  and  K.  This 


leaves  the  beds  at  either  side  of  the  entrance  6  and  8,  for 
Baby  Ramblers,  Moss  Roses  or  other  low  growing  varieties. 
This  planting  will  give  you  a  very  good  collection  of  roses, 
but  the  size  of  this  garden  can  be  changed  to  meet  your 
desires  or  a  part  may  be  planted  each  year.  Remember  when 
planting  the  different  types  of  Roses  that  Hybrid  Teas  should 
be  spaced  from  18  to  24  inches  apart  each  way,  while  Hybrid 
Perpetuals  and  Rugosas  should  be  spaced  2J^  to  3  feet  or  even 
more.  Do  not  crowd  your  rose  bushes  they  will  not  do  as  well 
and  will  be  much  more  difficult  to  care  for.  Read  page  130 
very  carefully  to  find  something  helpful.

Making  the  Rear  Lawn  a  Haven  of  Restful  Beauty 


The  plan  here  is  adaptable  to  almost  any  rear 
lawn  or  back  yard,  call  it  what  you  will.  The 
size  as  shown  here  is  approximately  24x40  feet 
(scale  1  inch,  8  feet).  If  you  have  more  space 
enlarge  the  plantings  to  fit  or  if  your  space  is 
smaller  reduce  the  number  of  plants  or  omit 
some  of  the  varieties. 

The  plan  is  composed  of  three  parts;  on 
the  outside  shrub  plantings — inside  of  the 
shrubs  are  hardy  perennials  and  the  inner 
borders  are  annual  flowers.  The  shrubs  and 
perennials  make  an  ideal  frame  for  the  picture — 
while  the  annuals  allow  you  to  change  the  effect 
each  season  by  using  different  colors.

— - Hardy  Perennials - 

The  use  of  the  Hardy  Herbaceous  Perennials  in  beautifying  the  home  grounds  has  increased 
so  rapidly  in  the  past  five  or  ten  years,  that  they  have  reached  a  position  of  importance  very 
near  the  head  of  the  list  among  the  different  classes  of  flowers  and  plants. 


They  well  deserve  this  increased  attention  and  popularity  for 
there  are  very  few  classes  of  garden  plants  that  offer  a  greater 
variety  of  types,  colors  and  blooming  periods.  Most  of  them 
last  for  years  and  increase  in  size  and  beauty  year  after  year. 
Every  three  of  four  years  they  may  be  taxon  up  and  divided 
into  two,  four  or  even  six  divisions  and  replanted  again  to  go 
right  on  growing  and  increasing.  From  the  earliest  blooms 
that  appear  in  the  spring,  within  a  very  short  time  after  snow 
has  disappeared,  until  late  in  the  fall,  even  after  frosts  have 
killed  all  other  flowers — some  of  the  perennials  are  giving 
you  bloom  every  day. 


Because  they  are  becoming  so  popular  we  are  devoting  more 
space  in  our  catalogs  year  after  year  to  this  valuable  class  of 
plants.  On  pages  41  to  48,  inclusive,  we  described  many  of  the 
best  and  most  desirable  varieties  to  grow  from  seed.  On 
pages  108  to  119,  inclusive,  we  offer  perennial  plants  ready  to 
produce  bloom  for  you  within  a  short  time  from  planting. 
Page  38  illustrates  in  color  several  of  the  best  perennials, 
these  are  fully  described  on  page  39. 

We  have  placed  a  perennial  chart  on  pages  106  and  107.  We 
hope  you  will  find  much  of  help  in  this  chart  which  will  guide 
you  in  the  selection  of  either  seeds  or  plants. 


Flours  of  Pleasure  in  the  Perennial  Gardtn 


Perennials  for  Special  Purposes 


MANY  USES  FOR 
PERENNIALS 

No  class  of  flowering  plants 
lend  themselves  so  well  to 
so  many  uses  and  seem  to 
be  happy  in  nearly  any 
location  as  the  perennials. 
In  the  Hardy  Border,  the 
Rock  Garden,  the  Wild 
Garden,  with  shrubbery  or 
in  a  garden  entirely  ot  per¬ 
ennials  they  quickly  adapt 
themselves  and  soon 
become  a  very  natural  part 
of  the  picture.  Nearly  all 
of  them  are  excellent  for 
cut  flowers,  and  from  a  well 
assorted  planting  you  will 
have  a  continuous  supply  of 
bouquets  from  early  spring 
until  snow  flies. 


MANY  TYPES  OF 
PERENNIALS 

This  popular  class  of  plants 
covers  a  wide  range  of 
types,  from  the  low  creep¬ 
ing  plants  for  carpeting  bare 
spots  or  edging  a  bed  of 
taller  plants  through  all 
heights  up  to  stately  ones, 
with  their  seven  or  eight 
foot  stalks  bearing  their 
blooms  out  above  the  other 
plants.  In  our  list  you  will 
find'  these  low  creeping 
plants,  medium,  tall  bushy 
plants,  tall  upright  growing 
plants,  vines  that  will  grow 
six  or  eight  feet  and  com¬ 
pletely  cover  an  old  stump, 
or  vines  that  will  grow  40 
to  50  feet. 


To  properly  arrange  a  mixed  planting  of  perennials  you  must 
know  the  season  of  bloom  and  the  heights  of  growth  of  each, 
following  list  may  help :

It  is  quite  nat¬ 
ural  that  nearly 
all  of  the  early 
blooming  plants 
should  be  of 

somewhat  lower  growth,  as  they 
have  had  the  advantage  of  only  a 
very  short  period  of  growing  weather 
before  blooming  time.

Spring  and  Fall  Care  of  Perennials 


The  greater  portion  of  the  attention  required  by  a  perennial 
garden  or  border  will  come  in  the  spring  season  and  in  the  fall. 
As  early  in  the  spring  as  the  weather  permits  we  must  get  out 
among  the  reviving  perennials  and  give  them  whatever  help 
we  can  to  assist  them  in  giving  their  best  results  during  the 
coming  season.  All  the  old  dead  foliage  from  last  year  must  be 
cut  off  and  be  removed,  if  it  has  been  left  during  the  winter 
and  it  is  usually  best  to  leave  it  for  it  is  the  best  winter  pro¬ 
tection  and  a  great  help  in  holding  the  snow  blanket.  Of 
course,  if  disease  is  present  on  these  tops  or  foliage  they  should 
be  removed  as  early  as  possible  in  the  fall  and  some  clean 
material  used  instead. 

Alter  this  foliage  or  mulch  has  been  cleaned  away  we  should 
give  the  soil  around  and  among  the  plants  a  light  digging  up 
to  loosen  the  surface  and  aid  in  later  cultivation  as  well  as  to 
encourage  the  awakening  plants  in  their  new  growth. 

As  much  of  the  planting  should  be  done  in  the  spring  as  is 
possible,  especially  of  seed  or  young  plants  that  have  been 


carried  over  winter  under  protection.  This  gives  them  all  sum¬ 
mer  to  become  established  before  wintering  over  in  the  open, 
this  is  an  advantage  to  older  plants  as  well  but  not  as  neces¬ 
sary  to  all  varieties.  Some  of  course  must  be  planted  in  the 
spring,  such  as  Chrysanthemums,  etc.,  but  your  nursery 
catalog  will  tell  you  the  best  planting  seasons.  When  the  new 
growth  is  being  made  you  must  be  on  the  watch  for  disease, 
insects  or  other  enemies  that  attack  garden  plants. 

Then  you  will  have  plants  that  you  desire  to  move  to  new 
locations,  some  of  this  must  be  done  in  the  spring  and  some  in 
the  fall,  the  varieties  that  bloom  early  or  before  midsummer 
should  be  moved  or  transplanted  in  the  fall,  while  those  that 
bloom  late  in  the  summer  and  fall  should  be  handled  in  the 
spring.  If  you  are  really  interested  in  perennials  and  in  their 
care  and  treatment  you  will  find  no  better  investment  than 
“The  Little  Book  of  Perennials”  listed  on  page  84.  This  little 
book  covers  this  class  of  plants  completely  and  is  extremely 
practical  and  helpful. 


THE  TEMPLIN-BRADLEY  CO.,  NATIONWIDE  SEEDSMEN  AND  NURSERYMEN,  CLEVELAND,  OHIO 


- Popular  Hardy  Perennials- - — 

In  presenting  the  following  pages  of  hardy  herbaceous  perennial  plants  to  our  friends  and 
customers  we  do  so  with  the  feeling  that  we  are  offering  only  those  with  which  they  will  have 
the  greatest  measure  of  success  under  the  widest  range  of  climatic  and  soil  conditions.  We 
take  pride  in  the  fact  that  any  and  all  that  we  have  included  are  justly  worthy  of  a  place  in  the 
best  gardens  of  the  land  and  are  still  within  the  reach  of  the  humblest  of  our  gardening  friends. 


The  Hardy  Chrysanthemums 
are  the  last  of  our  flowers 
to  give  us  their  blooms. 


The  Hardy  Chrysanthemums 

From  mid-October  all  through  the  dreary  days  of  November  even  after  the  fall  frosts  have 
cut  down  all  our  other  garden  flowers,  the  hardy  Chrysanthemums  provide  the  only  bright 
spots  in  our  garden.  Hardy  as  they  are  and  unaffected  by  ordinary  frosts,  surviving  to 
give  us  hope  and  cheer  when  we  are  mourning  the  loss  of  all  our  other  garden  favorites,  they 
close  each  year’s  garden  season  with  their  burst  of  rich  blooms  in  great  color  array,  endearing 
themselves  more  each  year  to  every  garden  lover. 

Chrysanthemums  should  be  planted  in  the  spring  so  they  may  become  thoroughly  estab¬ 
lished  before  winter.  And  even  though  they  are  very  hardy  a  light  winter  mulch  applied 
after  the  blooms  have  passed  is  extremely  helpful  to  them.  They  prefer  a  rich  soil  for  they 
are  heavy  feeders  and  their  success  depends  on  their  ability  to  obtain  plenty  of  food. 

The  Wonderful  Delphiniums 

Few  of  our  old-fashioned  perennial  favorites  have  undergone  as  much  improvement  as  has  the 
Delphinium  or  Hardy  Larkspurs.  Years  of  earnest  labor  and  patient  waiting  have  been 
spent  by  world  renowned  Horticulturists  and  plant  breeders  in  bringing  to  their  present 
form  the  wonderful  varieties  that  we  today  have  in  this  garden  favorite.  With  its  stately 
spikes  of  glorious  bloom,  five,  six — yes,  we  have  them  seven  feet  tall,  in  the  richest  shades 
of  blue  imaginable,  and,  among  the  hybrids  a  veritable  riot  of  color,  they  far  surpass  their 
garden  fellows  in  stateliness  and  majesty.  No  garden  plant  will  show  as  much  gratitude 
for  a  little  extra  care  as  the  Delphiniums. 


The  Peony — King  of  Spring  Flowers 

No  plant  will  give  as  much  joy  and  satisfaction  or  endure  so 
long  without  special  care  growing  almost  anywhere  and 
giving  its  portion  of  massive  blooms  each  spring  as  will  the 
Peony.  That  is  why  it  has  become  the  busy  person’s  favorite 
flower.  When  once  established  in  the  garden  or  lawn  they 
are  permanent  features  to  as  great  an  extent  as  we  desire. 
They  are  perfectly  hardy  in  almost  any  location  passing 
through  the  most  severe  winters  without  injury  and  very 
easily  protected  in  locations  where  they 
would  suffer. 

j  Peony  blooms  are  large,  showy  and  of 

!  many  colors  from  white  to  almost 
purple,  their  massive  blooms  of  rich 
:  colors  and  entrancing  form  are  at  once 
most  popular  as  cut  flowers.  The 
Peony  is  of  very  easy  culture  so  long 
as  they  have  an  average  garden  soil, 
plenty  of  sunshine  and  good  drainage. 

Peonies  may  be  planted  at  any  time 
the  ground  is  in  condition  to  work  from 
September  to  April.  They  may  be 
planted  effectively  in  beds  by  them¬ 
selves,  as  a  background  to  plantings  of 
other  perennial  borders,  as  a  foreground 
for  shrubbery  groups  or  even  in  single 
rows  in  which  position  they  produce 
an  excellent  hedge  effect. 


The  Garden  Lilies 

The  beautiful  hardy  garden  lilies  need  no  introduction  to 
garden  enthusiasts,  their  beauty  is  too  well  known  in  gardens 
the  world  over.  Their  tall  majestic  clusters  of  blooms  held 
high  on  strong  stately  stems  are  inspiring  to  all  who  view 
them  and  beloved  by  all  who  grow  them.  Every  garden 
should  have  at  least  a  few  Lilies.  The  Chinese  Regal  Lily 
that  has  recently  been  brought  to  us  from  far  Northern 
China  is  a  valuable  addition  to  the 
garden.  Lilies  are  among  the  most 
important  and  desirable  bulbous  plants 
for  garden  use.  They  are  stately  and 
beautiful,  matchless  in  form,  variety  of 
color  and  exquisite  fragrance;  and  for 
general  effect  they  have  no  superior. 
The  culture  and  care  of  the  Hardy 
Lilies  is  by  no  means  difficult.  Deep 
preparation  of  the  soil,  proper  depth 
of  planting,  good  drainage  and  keeping 
the  earth  cool  during  the  hot  periods 
by  a  mulch  or  shading  with  some  low 
growing  plants  are  the  greatest  essen¬ 
tials  and  go  far  toward  more  and  better 
blooms.  The  fragrance  of  some  varie¬ 
ties  is  unsurpassed  by  any  other  flower. 


A  beautiful  clump  of  Peonies. 
Every  home  should  have  several. 


The  Hardy  Phlox 

Among  the  favorites  in  Grandmother’s  garden  the  Phloxes 
were  granted  the  most  prominent  positions,  because  of  their 
generous  bloom  and  desirable  qualities  as  cut  flowers.  From 
June  all  through  midsummer  they  bloom  in  greatest  pro- 
I  fusion.  Their  delightfully  fragrant  blooms  in  such  a  wide 
range  of  bright  colors  standing  out  above  the  mass  of  rich 
green  foliage  is  a  sight  not  soon  forgotten.  Great  improve¬ 
ments  have  been  made  in  size  and  form  over  the  varieties  our 
Grandmother  planted,  so  that  today  their  popularity  is 
/  almost  unbounded,  wherever  we  go  we  find  a  few  plants  or 
great  beds  or  borders  of  Hardy  Phlox  to  greet  us  and  make 
us  feel  at  home. 

Except  that  they  are  gross  feeders  and  to  do  their  best  must 
have  rich  soil,  they  are  of  very  easy  culture.  While  they 
seem  to  prefer  full  sunlight,  when  grown  in  partial  shade  they 
seem  to  thrive  just  as  well  and  often  their  colors  are  brighter. 
They  may  be  planted  any  time  during  the  season,  even  when 
in  bloom  it  does  not  seem  to  affect  them  to  be  transplanted. 


Other  Worthy  Perennials 


Many  other  classes  of  the  herbaceous  perennials  are  just  as 
worthy  of  mention  here  but  space  will  not  permit,  but  do  not 
fail  to  give  them  all  some  attention,  all  that  we  have  listed  in 
the  following  pages  are  deserving,  grow  as  many  as  you  can, 
you  will  never  regret  the  slight  expenditure  at  the  first  after 
you  have  learned  to  know  and  grow  them.  You  wall  appre¬ 
ciate  everyone,  perhaps  some  more  than  others  but  each  has 
its  particular  welcome  features. 


The  Enchanting  Iris 


To  know  and  appreciate  the  Iris  you  must  grow  them  in  your 
own  garden,  for  this  intimacy,  only,  will  bring  to  you  the  full 
appreciation  of  the  beauties  and  enchantments  of  the  wonder¬ 
ful  Iris  varieties  that  today  are  available  for  your  garden. 
With  their  many  vari-colored  refined  blooms  borne  so  early 
in  the  spring  of  the  new  garden  year  they  are  a  delight  and 
welcome  friend  in  any  garden.  The  Iris  seem  appropriate 
in  any  location  and  they  will 
thrive  almost  anywhere  we 
plant  them.  Groups  and 
masses  of  each  variety  are 
probably  the  best  arrangement 
and  give  a  wonderful  effect, 
but  along  walks,  drives,  bor¬ 
ders,  around- pools  and  even  in 
the  rock  garden  they  will  de¬ 
light  and  repay  their  cost.  Any 
one  can  grow  Irises,  they  may 
be  planted  or  transplanted  at 
almost  any  season  but  early 
spring  or  fall  are  preferable. 

Their  requirements  are  few  but 
like  any  other  plant  they  will 
respond  to  care  in  a  degree  that 
will  fully  repay  the  attention 
given  them.  When  they  become 
crowded  from  multiplication 

they  should  be  taken  up  and  a  collection  or  beautiful 
divided  to  guard  against  in-  Iris  should  be  in  every 
ferior  blooms.  garden.

Hardy  Chinese  Azaleas 


Azalea  Mollis 


One  of  the  most  beautiful  and 
popular  families  of  hardy  flower¬ 
ing  shrubs  in  cultivation.  The  illustration  is  from  a  photo¬ 
graph  about  half  size  and  is  deeper  than  the  prevailing  color, 
although  being  grown  from  seed,  they  vary  in  color,  from 
light  yellow  to  salmon  and  orange,  scarcely  two  plants  being 
exactly  alike  in  color.  For  best  effect,  we  suggest  planting  in 
groups  as  the  yellow,  orange  and  salmon  blend  beautifully 
together. 

No  flowering  shrub  is  more  highly  prized  than  the  Azalea  by 
those  so  fortunate  as  to  have  them.  They  are  perfectly 
hardy,  thriving  under  ordinary  garden  culture,  but  do  best  in 


Natural 
Colors 

a  protected  location  where  they  will  be  in  partial  shade. 

For  best  success,  prepare  the  soil  to  the  depth  of  15  to  18 
inches,  using  50  per  cent  of  well  rotted  leaf-mold  from  the 
woods  or  decayed  peat  from  a  swamp  or  both.  Be  careful 
that  there  is  no  lime  in  the  soil.  Water  freely. 

The  plants  we  offer  are  sturdy,  heavily  rooted  and  branched, 
well  set  with  flower  buds,  that  will  bloom  this  year.

Chinese  Regal  Lily 

T  ilium  'Pyrrol ^  (L.  Myriophyllum).  This  beau- 
Jxegaie  tifui  new  Lily  comes  from  North¬ 
western  China,  which  is  a  guarantee  of  its  hardiness.  Bailey’s 
Cycloped-ia  of  Horticulture  says  of  it:  “One  of  the  most  beau¬ 
tiful  of  all  known  Lilies.”  The  exquisite  blending  of  tints  and 
colors  form  a  charming  contrast  with  the  rich,  deep  green 
foliage.  Highly  recommended  for  general  culture.  The  large 
trumpet-shaped,  fragrant  flowers  are  pure,  transparent  white, 
with  a  distinct,  rich  canary-yellow  throat  and  orange  stamens. 
The  buds  and  outside  of  petals  are  delicate  pink,  which  is 
often  reflected  through  the  petals.  Height  3  to  4  feet ;  mature 
bulbs  producing  5  to  10  flowers  in  June  and  July. 

All  Lilies  like  well  drained,  moist,  cool  soil,  containing  plenty 
of  humus  such  as  leaf  mold  or  peat  moss.  Full  directions  for 
planting  the  Regal  Lily  will  be  supplied  with  each  order.

These  are  reduced  prices,  extra  good  value. 


Eskimo  Beauty  Roses 

The  Rugosa  Roses  deserve  great  popularity.  They  are 
absolutely  hardy  and  are  not  susceptible  to  many  of  the 
diseases  and  insects  that  attack  other  roses,  keeping  their 
foliage  clean  and  fresh  throughout  the  season.  All  the 
pruning  you  need  to  do  is  to  trim  out  dead  and  superfluous 
wood.  The  plants  bloom  intermittently  through  the  sum¬ 
mer  and  into  late  fall  until  stopped  by  frosts.  During  the 
autumn  and  winter  the  plants  bear  bright  red  seed  pods.

PLANT  FOOD 


Just  Read  How  This  Grower  Was  Convinced 


Several  years  ago  when  Mr.  Templin  first  perfected  “Watch- 
em-Grow”  Plant  Food  a  certain  greenhouse  grower  down 
the  State  was  one  of  the  first  he  told  of  it.  _  This  man  is  an 
expert  grower,  but  is  very  slow  to  take  up  with  what  he  calls 
“new  fangled  ideas”.  Said  there  were  too  many  plant  foods 
on  the  market  now. 

It  was  only  last  winter  that  Mr.  Grower  without  the  knowl-

edge  of  Mr.  Templin,  procured  a  quantity  of  our  “Watch-em- 
Grow”  and  started  to  make  some  experiments  with  it  in 
comparison  with  the  standard  fertilizers  he  had  been  using. 
Then  last  spring,  previous  to  the  Annual  Cleveland  Flower 
Show  he  sent  some  plants  up  to  Mr.  Templin  with  the  frank 
admission  that  “Watch-em-Grow”  was  certainly  better 
than  anything  he  had  been  using. 

The  Proof  in  the  Photograph 

We  took  some  photographs  of  those  plants,  one  of  which  is  reproduced 
here.  The  plant  on  the  left  was  started  with  the  grower’s  regular  potting 
soil  and  some  fertilizer,  iust  as  he  always  had  been  doing  it.  The  plant 
on  the  right  in  addition  was  treated  with  a  small  amount  of 
“Watch-em-Grow.”  Now  mind  you  these  two  Cineraria  plants  were 
started  at  the  same  time  under  exactly  the  same  conditions,  with  the  single 
exception  of  the  “Watch-em-Grow.”  Looks  almost  too  good,  doesn’t  it? 

At  the  Cleveland  Flower  Show 

We  exhibited  some  plants  showing  this  difference,  and  frankly  some 
people  could  hardly  credit  our  statements.  But  say,  you  should  see  our 
records  showing  what  people  who  have  used  it  say,  and  how  often  they 
are  repeat  buyers.

It  makes  no  difference  whether  you  have  only  a  plant  or  two  in  a  sunny 
window  or  a  whole  greenhouse  full.  “Watch.-em-Grow”  is  a  scientifically 
made  Plant  Food  that  will  make  better  plants  for  you.  It  is  easy  to  use

Hardy  Astilbe  (“  Spirea  ^ 

These  beautiful  new  hardy  plants  will,  we  believe,  soon  become  very 
popular.  They  are  perfectly  hardy  everywhere,  easily  grown  and 
produce  their  graceful  feathery  spikes  of  flowers  in  June  and  July. 
They  succeed  best  in  a  rich,  deep,  moist  soil  and  should  be  watered 
Peach  Blossom.  freely  during  their  growing  season.  They  will  form  large  clumps,  in¬ 

creasing  in  size  and  beauty  from  year  to  vear.  They  are  now  largely 
grown  by  florists  for  forcing  into  bloom  at  Easter  time.  They  can  easily  be  grown  in  pots  in  the  ordinary  home. 

There  are  two  types  or  classes  of  Astilbe,  the  early-blooming  class,  of  dwarf  habit  (12  to  18"),  and  the  strong,  vigorous- 
growing  class,  attaining  a  height  of  three  to  six  feet.  Both  are  very  desirable  for  the  garden  among  other  perennials.

ture  regularly  drops  below  10  above  zero.  4  to  6  inches  of 
straw,  loose  leaves  or  similar  material  with  thick  brush  above 
it  makes  a  satisfactory  protection  in  most  cases. 

CLASS  4.  These  varieties  are  either  biennials  that  live  for 
two  seasons  and  then  die,  or  perennials  that  do  their  best  the 
first  and  second  year  and  then  even  though  they  still  live 
become  poorer  year  after  year.  Most  of  these  varieties 
readily  self-sow  themselves  and  some  blooms  should  be  left 
to  produce  seed,  and  this  seed  when  dropped  should  be 
covered  and  care  taken  afterwards  that  they  are  not  pulled 
or  hoed  out.  If  they  do  not  seed,  new  seed  can  be  sown  every 
other  year  and  the  old  plants  removed  as  soon  as  the  new 
have  appeared. 

CLASS  S.  These  plants  can  also  be  grown  as  house  plants 
with  excellent  success  by  setting  in  pots  outdoors  during  the 
summer  and  bringing  indoors  before  frost.  The  pots  should 
be  plunged  in  the  earth  and  kept  well  watered  during  their 
period  of  outdoor  growth.  In  partial  shade  is  best. 


Details  of  Culture 

See  Culture  Index  on 
CULTURE.  CLASS  1.  These  varieties  can  be  handled  by 
the  general  method  of  culture  as  described  on  page  8,  sown 
either  in  early  spring  and  transplanted  permanently  the  same 
summer  or  sown  in  late  summer  and  after  first  transplant 
wintered  over  with  a  protection  of  straw  or  leafy  branches  to 
be  set  in  their  permanent  location  after  they  have  started 
growth  the  following  spring.  All  the  perennials  in  this  class 
are  very  hardy  and  need  no  special  winter  protection  after 
the  first  winter,  except  the  general  protection  given  to  all 
hardy  perennials,  a  light  covering  of  leaves  or  some  similar 
material. 

CLASS  2.  Varieties  in  this  class  either  cannot  be  trans¬ 
planted  with  any  degree  of  success,  or  much  quicker  and 
better  results  will  be  obtained  if  not  transplanted,  so  should 
be  sown  in  the  place  where  they  are  to  grow  permanently. 
This  necessitates  sowing  the  seed  much  further  apart  and 
thinning  out  considerable. 

CLASS  3.  Plants  of  these  varieties,  while  perennials  still 
need  some  winter  protection  in  locations  where  the  tempera-

Items  of  Special  Merit 


Artemisia  Silver  King 

Here  we  have  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  valuable  hardy  perennial  plants  that  has 
been  introduced  in  many  years.  It  is  creating  a  sensation  among  professional  florists 
throughout  the  entire  country.  It  has  been  called  the  new  “Misty  Mixer”  because  of 
its  beautiful,  fine,  glistening,  silvery  white  foliage.  The  Silver  King  is  a  vigorous 
growing  plant,  forming  large  clumps  2  feet  or  more  across.  Long  slender  sprays  can  be 
cut  in  abundance  when  established,  to  mix  with  rose  buds  or  other  flowers,  producing 
a  most  pleasing  effect.  If  the  slender  branches  are  cut,  tied  in  bunches  and  hung  in  a 
dark  closet  to  dry,  they  will  work  in  nicely  with  everlasting  strawflowers  for  winter 
decoration.  You  cannot  afford  to  overlook  this  splendid  novelty. 

It  has  proven  to  be  perfectly  hardy  around  Cleveland.  We  however  would  suggest 
planting  it  in  rich,  well  drained  soil  and  covering  with  leaves  or  strawy  manure  early 
in  December  as  a  precaution  until  it  is  better  known.

Hansen’s  New  Dwarf  Bush 
Cherry 

Prof.  N.  E.  Hansen,  the  Noted  Plant  Wizard  of  South  Dakota  State  College,  spent 
more  than  30  years  hybridizing  and  developing  the  well  known  dwarf  Sand  Cherry  of  | 
Western  Dakota,  to  a  fruit  of  quite  large  size  and  good  eating  quality.  Mr.  Hansen 
made  thousands  of  crosses  between  the  Hybrid  Plum  and  Sand  Cherry,  and  for  many 
years  selections  were  made  from  the  plantations  of  these  hybrids  containing  25,000  or 
more  plants,  always  selecting  the  best  from  generation  to  generation.  This  Bush 
Cherry  is  the  final  result.  The  fruit  is  about  the  size  of  a  medium  cherry. 

The  bush  is  of  dwarf  habit  3  to  4  ft.  and 
wonderfully  productive,  a  beautiful 
shrub  for  the  lawn  when  in  bloon  in  early 
Spring.  They  are  easy  to  grow.  Per¬ 
fectly  hardy  everywhere  and  bear  abun¬ 
dantly  every  year.  Do  not  plant  them 
in  low,  wet  soil. 

We  believe  this  will  become  a  desirable 
shrub  for  your  lawn  or  garden.  We  want 
everybody  when  receiving  this  catalog  to 
give  it  a  trial,  and  will  name  a  price  so 
reasonable  that  you  cannot  afford  to 
pass  it  by.

The  Best  Peonies  in  Existence 


First  of  all  in  the  list  of  hardy  plants  for  size  and  beauty, 
clumps  or  bushes.  Should  be  in  every  garden  in  the  land, 
you  cannot  buy  better  varieties  than  those  listed  below. 

We  have  on  our  desk  a  half  dozen  or 
more  catalogs  from  noted  Peony 
Specialists,  each  listing  100  to  300 
varieties  of  Peonies.  It  has  always  been 
our  policy  to  list  only  a  few  of  the  very 
best  varieties,  as  we 
many  varieties  onl 
purchaser.  Here  is  an  example  show 
ing  that  our  policy  is  right. 


Read  This  Twice 

In  June,  1928,  we  arranged  for  a  well  known 
Peony  Specialist  to  exhibit  40  or  50  of  his  best 
varieties  at  our  offices.  We  advertised  “The 
Peony  Show,”  asking  all  visitors  to  express  their 
first,  second  and  third  choice  of  varieties  in  a 
popularity  vote.  The  blooms  were  arranged 
side  by  side  so  they  could  compare  the  varieties 
very  carefully.  Here  is  the  result.  The  four 
varieties  starred  (*)  below  received  an  average 
of  over  eleven  times  as  many  votes  each  as  all 
other  varieties  combined.  The  other  four  vari¬ 
eties  listed  below  are  either  earlier  or  later 
blooming  and  could  not  be  exhibited  at  the 
show,  but  in  our  estimation  they  are  equally 
as  good.

One  of  the  most  useful  flowers  for  summer  decorations.  Colors  vary  from  pure  white  to  deep  crimson.  Exceed¬ 
ingly  hardy.  Once  planted,  they  require  no  further  attention  for  several  years,  but  it  is  advisable  to  renew  them

flower  spikes  as  soon  as  over,  give  the  plants  a  good  soaking  and  a  second  crop  of  bloom  extending  until  late  in 
the  fall  may  be  expected.  _  This  is  especially  true  of  the  beautiful  Miss  Lingard.

covering  type  for  graves,  rockery,  etc.  Pretty 
evergreen  foliage  completely  hidden  in  April 
and  May  under  a  mass  of  pretty  rosy-pink 
flowers.  Subulata  is  one  of  the  best  rock  gar¬

green  foliage  making  it  invaluable  in  this 
location.  It  grows  unusually  well  in  broad 
mats  in  dry  rocky  soil  or  on  sandy  banks. 
Unlike  most  of  the  perennials  its  foliage 
is  very  decorative  at  all  times.  Small  clumps

Physostegia 


3747  Hardy 
Pyrethrum 

Pyrethrums  are  of  low  compact  growth  with 
lace-like  foliage  of  beautiful  green,  with 
multitudes  of  bloom  borne  on  slender  stems 
well  above  the  foliage.  They  make  excellent 
subjects  for  edging  the  taller  perennials  and 
are  equally  as  good  massed  as  bedding  plants 
or  in  the  herbaceous  border. 

During  June  and  July  these  plants  bear  great 
masses  of  daisy-like  flowers  in  shades  of  pink, 
rose  and  pure  white.  They  are  very  easy  to 
grow  and  very  pretty.  If  immediately  after 
blooming  the  stems  and  old  foliage  are  cut 
from  the  plant,  very  often  a  second  crop  is 
produced  in  the  fall.  The  plants  grow  18  to  24 
inches  tall.  Each  20c,  3  for  50c.

when  massed  or  planted  among  the  varieties  in 
the  border.  It  begins  to  bloom  about  the  first  of

about  three  months.  Perfectly  hardy  withstand¬ 
ing  the  most  unfavorable  conditions  both  of

3670  Chinese  Lantern  Plant 

Physalis  Francheti.  A  unique  and  very  interesting  novelty.  Grown  for  the  highly  colored 
bladder-like  fruits,  or  seed  pods  which  cover  the  bush  in  late  summer  and  autumn.  These 
fruits  average  about  2  inches  in  diameter  and  are  a  brilliant  orange-red  when  ripe,  and 
because  of  their  shape  and  texture,  the  bush  is  properly  called  “Chinese  Lantern  Plant.”

a  display  of  brilliant  coloring  nothing  equals  them  during 
their  time  of  flowering.  May  and  June,  whether  planted 
singly  or  in  masses.  They  are  easy  of  culture,  almost  any 
kind  of  soil  suits  them,  but  they  do  best  in  a  rich 
deep  loam.  Plant  them  in  the  fall  or  early 
spring  before  May  1st;  give  them  water  during 
dry  spells  the  first  season,  and  mulch  with  leaves 
or  stable  litter  in  the  fall;  treated  in  this 
way,  they  will  increase  in  size  and  will  have 
freedom  of  bloom  for  years  to  come.  After  they 
have  finished  flowering  the  plants  die  back,  but 
appear  again  in  September,  or  as  soon  as  the 
weather  gets  cool;  during  this  resting  period  care 
should  be  taken  when  cultivating  the  beds  that 
the  roots  are  not  disturbed.  Each  25c,  3  for  65c

Plant  Hardy  Native  Ferns 


Reproduce  a  little  corner  of  nature’s  woodland  right  in  your  own  garden 

Hardy  Native  Ferns  are  rapidly  growing  in  popularity  as  their  value  is  becoming  better  known.  They  are  easily 
grown,  and  so  well  adapted  for  shady  locations  where  little  else  will  succeed.  There  are  usually  nooks  and 
corners  around  the  home  grounds  where  the  sun  seldom  strikes,  just  the  place  for  assorted  clumps  of  Hardy 
Ferns.  The  above  illustration  is  from  an  assorted  planting  in  front  of  a  north  porch.  Our  plants  come  from 
northern  New  England  where  the  temperature  often  registers  away  below  zero,  a  guarantee  of  their  hardiness. 


A  touch  of  the  woods,  right  at  your  door  step. 

Ferns  succeed  best  in  a  rich,  light,  loose,  fibrous  soil,  with  good  drainage.  If  the  soil  is  inclined  to  toe  soggy,  raise  the 
fern  bed  two  or  three  inches  above  the  surrounding  surface.  Before  planting  make  the  soil  fine,  and  if  possible  incor¬ 
porate  some  leaf  mould  from  the  woods,  decayed  chip-dirt  or  soil  from  around  some  old  building,  but  never  use  fresh  manure 
of  any  kind.  Water  the  fern  bed  occasionally  with  liquid  “Watch-em-grow”  Plant  Food.

The  Principles  of  Planting 

Shrubbery,  Roses,  Vines  or  Other  Dormant  Stock 

The  careful  and  correct  planting  of  shrubs  has  much  to  do  with  the  way  the  shrubs  will  perform  for  you  in  later  years.  It 
pays  well  in  later  results  to  give  each  plant  the  very  best  start  you  can. 


WHEN  TO  PLANT.  Although  some  experts  claim  that 
planting  may  be  done  every  day  of  the  year  We  believe  that 
the  proper  time  is  when  the  plant  is  in  a  naturally  dormant 
condition — that  is  in  the  spring  and  in  the  fall  after  the  growth 
has  stopped.  Fall  planting  is  just  as  desirable  as  spring 
planting  ninety-nine  times  out  of  a  hundred.  However,  go  to 
the  precaution  of  protecting  the  plants  over  the  first  winter. 
If  possible  prepare  the  land  in  the  fall  for  spring  planting. 
If  not  do  it  as  early  in  the  spring  as  you  can  work  the  ground. 
Dig  down  deep  mixing  in  rotted  manure,  compost  and  decayed 
leaves.  Remember  you  are  starting  a  plantation  that  will 
last  for  years.  And  do  not  plant  shrubs  in  a  low  spot  where 
water  stands. 

As  soon  as  the  plants  arrive  heel  them  in  or  if  you  are  already 
to  plant,  just  put  them  in  a  tub  or  pail  with  the  roots  in  water. 
A  wet  burlap  sack  will  keep  the  wind  and  sun  off  them.  All 
broken  roots  should  be  taken  off  with  a  clean  cut. 

SETTING.  Make  a  hole  broad  enough  and  deep  enough  to 
hold  the  roots  spread  out  naturally.  If  the  roots  are  crowded 
into  too  small  a  space,  your  shrub  will  show  it  later.  Set  the 
shrub  so  that  it  will  stand  at  the  same  level  it  did  in  the 
nursery  row  or  an  inch  or  two  deeper.  Hold  the  stalks  with  one 
hand  while  with  the  other  sprinkle  on  fine  loose  soil  so  that 
the  small  roots  are  completely  covered. 


Shake  the  stalks  up  and  down  to  let  the  dirt  get  in  and  around 
better.  When  the  hole  is  about  half  full,  pour  in  some  water 
and  tread  the  soil  down  hard.  Then  tread  down  again  when 
the  soil  is  nearly  even  with  the  surface.  Leave  loose  soil  on 
top  to  keep  the  moisture  from  evaporating  and  to  prevent 
baking.  When  the  shrub  is  firmly  set,  the  top  should  be  cut 
back.  If  there  are  any  weak  canes  cut  them  off  entirely  and 
cut  the  rest  back  half  way. 

CUTTING  THE  TOPS  BACK.  The  reason  for  this  is 
plain.  When  the  shrub  is  taken  out  of  the  nursery,  no  matter  i 
how  much  care  is  used,  many  of  the  finer  feeding  roots  are  j 
broken  off.  With  so  much  of  the  root  system  gone  it  is  only  j 
fair  to  cut  back  the  tops  to  balance  the  plant  up  and  give  the  I 
roots  a  chance  to  support  the  top. 

WINTER  PROTECTION  is  not  always  necessary  but  it's  a  I 
safeguard  we  like  to  take  for  the  more  tender  varieties. 
After  the  ground  freezes  cover  the  soil  around  the  stalks  over  : 
the  roots  with  a  few  inches  of  straw,  well  rotted  manure  or 
leaves,  anything  that  will  keep  the  frost  in  the  ground  and  ] 
yet  that  air  can  get  through  is  sufficient.  This  prevents  the 
alternate  freezing  and  thawing  during  the  winter  that  is  so  I 
liable  to  push  up  the  roots  and  expose  them  to  severe 
freezing. 


Is  It  Worth  While  to  Plant  Shrubs  and  Vines? 


After  your  house  is  entirely  completed,  even  after  your  lawn  is 
completely  established,  there  seems  to  be  something  lacking 
to  complete  the  picture  and  produce  an  attractive  appearance. 
What  is  lacking  is  easily  seen  by  the  photographs  reproduced 
below,  the  same  house,  but  what  a  difference!  The  planting 
of  a  few  hardy  flowering  shrubs  and  climbing  vines  is  just  the 
needed  touch  to  complete  the  home.  How  much  more 


attractive  and  comfortable  it  is  to  the  people  who  must,  live 
there?  And  how  much  more  interesting  and  appealing  it 
looks  to  a  prospective  purchaser? 

Where  can  you  spend  a  few  dollars  and  get  as  much  in  beauty 
and  real  lasting  value  in  return  as  you  do  from  the  hardy 
shrubs  and  vines  planted  around  your  home? 


Surely  It  Is  Worth  While — Both  in  Beauty  and  Value

New  Purple  Leaved 
Japanese  Barberry 

(Often  called  Red  Leaved  Barberry) 

3964  Thunbergi  Purpurea  %A™lyrX 

worthwhile  outstanding  novelty  in  hardy  shrubs  introduced, 
but,  in  this  new  Barberry,  we  have  such  a  plant.  . 

It  is  similar  in  every  respect  to  the  well  known  green  leaved 
Japanese  Barberry,  so  popular  for  the  shrubbery  border,  as 
specimen  plants  <pr  for  foundation  planting  and  for  hedges,  but 
the  foliage  of  this  new  variety  is  of  a  rich,  lustrous,  bronzy- 
purple,  very  similar  to  the  richest  purple  leaved  Japanese  Maple. 
In  fact,  we  believe  it  will  largely  take  the  place  of  the  Japanese 
Maple,  which  is  of  very  slow  growth  and  usually  irregular  in 
form,  whereas  this  new  Barberry  will  form  neat,  symmetrical 
clumps  that  will  be  an  ornament  to  any  lawn.  To  produce  the 
most  brilliant  colors  it  should  be  planted  in  full  sunshine.  As 
Autumn  approaches,  it  becomes  more  brilliant  in  color.  In 
this  coloring  it  is  unequalled  by  any  other  shrub  and  is  followed 
by  the  same  brilliant  scarlet  berries. 

Strong,  one  year  plants,  well  branched.  Each  50c,  3  for 
$1.40,  doz.  $5.00. 


4108  Double  Pink 
Flowering  Almond 

Amygdalus.  Very  desirable  and  attractive. 
Extra  early  flowering  shrubs  of  rather  dwarf 
habit.  Usually  3  to  4  ft.  in  height.  The 
branches  are  completely  covered  with  pretty 
little  double  pink  flowers  in  early  spring  before 
the  leaves  appear.  This  is  an  unusually  valuable 
shrub  but  not  grown  as  widely  as  it  should  be. 
Adapts  itself  well  to  any  location  but  is  probably 
best  as  a  single  specimen  in  a  position  where  it 
may  develop  to  its  fullest  beauty.  They  should  be 
planted  somewhat  deeper  than  most  shrubs,  in  a 
well  drained  soil  in  full  sun.  Combines  well  with 
other  shrubs  but  for  best  effect  should  be  in  front 
row.  The  foliage  is  quite  ornamental  throughout 
the  summer.  This  shrub  usually  sells  at  65c  to  75c 
or  more.  Our  Special  Price,  2  year  18  to  24 
inches,  45c  each,  3  for  $1.25. 


Purple  Barberry 


4107  Bechtel’s  Double 
Flowering  Crab 

This  is  not  a  shrub, but  rather  develops  into  a  small 
tree.  It  is  perfectly  hardy  everywhere,  succeed¬ 
ing  nicely  in  all  soils  and  climates.  It  would  be 
difficult  to  describe  its  wonderful  beauty  when 
in  bloom,  the  branches  bending  under  a  profusion 
of  delicate  pink,  delightfully  fragrant  roses.  The 
only  sweet  scented  double  flowering  crab.  It  will 
require  a  little  more  room  than  the  ordinary 
flowering  shrubs  on  account  of  its  tree-like  habit 
of  growth,  and  its  full  beauty  can  only  be  known 
and  appreciated  when  it  has  plenty  of  room  to 
develop.  It  is  very  often  used  as  a  single  specimen 
plant  for  lawn  planting  and  in  this  location  during 
its  blooming  period  in  May  and  June  presents  one 
of  the  most  gorgeous  sights  imaginable.  Its  foli¬ 
age  is  of  a  rich  glossy  green  somewhat  similar  to 
the  ordinary  apple  tree.  A  Flowering  Crab  or  two 
will  add  to  the  attractiveness  of  any  home. 

The  usual  price  is  75c  to  $1.00  or  more.

dwarf,  compact  growth,  and  producing  their  large  clusters  of  perfectly  double 
flowers  when  only  2  or  3  feet  high.  Often  blooming  the  second  year  after  plant¬ 
ing.  They  are  absolutely  sure  to  bloom  freely  every  year.  While  the  old- 
fashioned  Lilacs  are  often  very  shy  bloomers.  These  French  varieties  will  not 
sprout  from  the  root  as  many  other  varieties  do.  We  have  selected  two  of  the 
most  desirable  varieties  as  follows:

of  bloom  from  early  June  through  August,  makes  it  doubly  valuable.

shades  of  pink  and  red  to  brilliant  crimson.

ary  lines.  They  add  much  to  the  appearance  of  the  home,  increasing  in

fragrant  plum-like  white  flowers  in  June,  followed  by  blue-black  berries.,  We  can

New  Dwarf  Privet 

4035  Lodense.  An  outstanding  new  development  in 
Privets,  which  converts  the  beautiful  foliage  and  twig 
formation  of  Ovalifolium,  onto  a  slow-growing  densely 
compact  dwarf  bush  which  can  be  used  without  shearing 
for  very  low  hedges  and  borders.  It  can  be  planted  close 
and  kept  clipped  down  like  Boxwood,  which  it  closely 
resembles.  As  it  is  comparatively  new,  the  supply  is 
limited.  We  have  a  fine  stock  of  well  branched  10  to 
12  inch  1  year  plants.  Doz.  $1.25,  25  to  50  at  10c

L.  Ovalifolium.  Quick  growing,  straight,  densely 
clothed  shoots;  the  foliage  in  precise  arrangement,  a 
dark  shiny  green.  The  handsomest  and  most  generally 
used  of  the  entire  group  for  hedging,  clipped  specimens 
or  for  massing;  but  unfortunately  not  reliably  hardy  in 
extreme  northern  sections,  where  we  recommend  Ibota

at  13c  each,  100  for  $12.00. 


Japanese  Barberry 

(Berberis  Thunbergii).  We  consider  this  the  best  hedge  plant 
in  existence.  Beautiful  throughout  the  year;  its  bright  red  berries 
make  it  even  more  attractive  in  the  winter  than  the  summer.  Its 
compact  growth  and  thorny  branches  make  a  defense  hedge  that 
after  five  years’  growth  will  turn  cattle.  As  an  untrimmed  hedge, 
it  requires  no  attention  except  an  occasional  cutting  of  a  few 
straggling  branches.  Plant  12  to  15  inches  apart.  We  sell  more 
than  50,000  of  this  variety  annually.

Plant  More  Roses 


Roses  are  growing  in  favor  every  day  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  and  deservedly  so,  for  no  class  of 
flowering  plants  gives  so  much  pleasure  and  value  as  the  Rose.  The  marvelous  beauty  and 
fragrance  of  the  Rose  as  a  cut  flower  is  appreciated  by  every  one,  but  only  those  who  have  grown 
them  in  their  own  garden,  can  realize  the  immense  amount  of  pleasure  and  satisfaction 
that  comes  with  the  privilege  of  going  into  their  own  garden  and  cutting  a  handful  of  beau¬ 
tiful  roses  for  decorating  their  home,  almost  any  day  during  the  season.  Some  people  think 
that  it  is  difficult  to  grow  Roses.  But  such  is  not  the  case.  Good  soil  and  a  little  care  will 


produce  the  desired  blooms  surprisingly  easy. 


Hybrid  Tea  Rose 


What  Roses  to  Plant 

There  are  many  types  of  Roses  but  for  the  home  garden  some  types 
are  impractical.  Several  of  the  main  classes,  however,  can  be  easily 
and  successfully  grown  by  any  one.  The  Everblooming  Hybrid  Tea 
Rose  is  without  a  doubt  the  most  popular  and  useful  class  of  Rose 
today,  and  if  kept  healthy  and  growing  steadily  one  crop  of  flowers 
succeeds  another  at  brief  intervals  from  June  to  October.  They 
are  easily  grown  and  with  a  little  protection  (as  explained  below) 
will  withstand  the  winters  well.  The  Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses,  so 
often  called  the  June  Roses,  are  very  hardy  and  extremely  vigorous 
and  while  they  produce  their  great  burst  of  wonderful  bloom  in 
June  they  will  produce  occasional  bloom  during  the  later  months. 
These  flowers  are  larger,  fuller  and  usually  more  fragrant  than  any 
of  the  other  roses.  The  Climbing  Roses  should  be  in  every  garden. 
They  are  particularly  attractive  on  arbors,  trellis,  or  summer  house. 
The  Rugosa  Roses  or  Eskimo  Beauties  should  also  be  included,  they 
are  excellent  for  hedges  or  in  border  planting. 


Hybrid  Perpetual  Roses 


Where  to  Plant  Roses 

Any  home  grounds  where  an  ordinary  garden  is  gripwn  will 
grow  roses  successfully.  The  one  greatest  essential  is  drain¬ 
age.  Roses  will  not  flourish  in  wet,  soggy  soil  for  while  they 
want  plenty  of  water  passing  through  the  soil  they  will  not 
endure  wet  feet.  While  Roses  will  endure  poor  soil  and  flower 
under  such  conditions,  the  success  which  follows  if  good  soil 
and  plenty  of  fertilizer  is  available,  well  repays  a  little  extra 
effort  in  preparation  of  the  soil  for  them.  The  heavy  soils 
such  as  clay,  seem  to  please  them  most  but  they  will  do 
equally  well  in  sandy  or  gravely  soil  if  sufficient  plant  food  is 
frequently  supplied  and  the  proper  moisture  condition  main¬ 
tained.  Well  rotted  manure  is  invaluable  to  the  Rose  grower; 
work  plenty  of  it  into  the  soil  before  planting  and  use  frequent 
applications  during  the  growing  season.  Roses  too  like  sun¬ 
light  and  will  give  greater  satisfaction  and  more  abundant 
bloom  if  planted  where  they  get  full  benefit  of  the  sun. 

Pruning  Roses 

As  a  rule  Roses  should  be  pruned  back  when  planted  to  about 
three  good  strong  branches  and  if  they  are  Teas  or  Hybrid 
Teas  these  branches  should  not  be  left  over  5  or  6  inches  long. 
After  Roses  are  established  they  may  best  be  pruned  in  the 
early  spring  just  before  the  eyes  begin  to  break,  although 
some  pruning  may  be  necessary  in  the  fall  to  keep  them  from 
being  broken  during  the  winter  storms;  this  is  particularly 
true  of  the  larger  growing  classes.  When  pruning  in  the 
spring  it  is  usually  best  to  cut  back  to  at  least  one-half  the 
season’s  growth.  Keep  in  mind  that  sufficient  and  proper 
pruning  means  better  bloom  and  more  satisfactory  results. 


Fall  Care  of  Roses 

You  have  of  course  during  the  summer  kept 
the  soil  well  stirred  and  loose  around  your 
Roses,  cultivation  is  very  essential  for  they 
must  be  kept  growing  during  the  blooming 
season.  But  with  late  fall  they  have  ceased 
their  growth  and  will  become  dormant, 
making  no  growth  whatever  until  spring. 
The  foliage  will  drop  as  soon  as  frost  kills  it 
and  this  should  be  removed  from  the  garden 
as  an  insurance  against  disease.  All 
unusually  long  or  unshapely  branches 
should  be  cut  back  and  removed  putting 
your  bushes  in  better  condition  to  with¬ 
stand  heavy  winds.  As  soon  as  freezing 
weather  arrives  protection  may  be  given 
the  bushes  for  the  winter.  The  Teas  and 
Hybrid  Teas  will  need  the  most  and  there  is 
nothing  better  than  earth.  This  may  be 
mounded  up  around  and  in  the  bush  to  the 
height  of  8  to  10  inches,  this  protects  the 
branches  from  the  weather.  As  soon  as  this 
mound  of  earth  is  frozen  it  should  be  cov¬ 
ered  with  some  material  to  shade  it  and 
keep  it  from  thawing  out  until  spring. 


How  to  Plant  Roses 

Proper  planting  is  the  greatest  element  toward  your  success 
with  Roses.  Do  not  allow  the  plants  to  become  dry  at  any 
time.  When  you  unwrap  them  you  will  find  them  packed  in 
wet  moss  and  if  you  are  not  ready  to  immediately  place  them 
in  the  ground  the  moss  should  be  thoroughly  moistened  and 
the  plants  rewrapped  to  keep  from  the  air.  Before  planting 
plunge  the  plants  in  pail  of  water  for  an  hour  or  two.  It  is 
always  best  to  have  your  ground  prepared,  so  you  can  set 
your  Roses  the  same  day  received. 

After  the  hole  is  dug  and  ready  for  the  plant,  carefully  prune 
off  any  broken  roots  giving  a  clean  fresh  cut.  Set  the  plant  in 
the  hole,  carefully  spreading  out  the  roots  so  that  the  earth 
may  be  thoroughly  filled  around  and  between  them,  allowing 
no  air  spaces,  fill  in  with  good  fine  earth  until  the  hole  is  half 
full  then  firm  the  soil  carefully  with  the  foot,  the  soil  must  be 
firm  about  the  roots. 

Now  you  can  fill  the  hole  nearly  full  with  water  and  fill  in 
more  good  soil  as  the  water  drains  away.  Do  not  firm  the  last 
2  or  3  inches  of  earth  as  the  water  will  settle  this  sufficiently, 
the  surface  layer  should  be  kept  loose  at  all  times.  You  can 
readily  distinguish  the  crown  or  the  bud  scar  on  the  plant, 
this  should  be  from  1  to  2  inches  below  the  surface  of  the 
ground.  Planting  to  the  proper  depth  is  very  important  to 
the  future  welfare  of  the  plant. 

Dormant  Rose  Plants  may  be  set  either  in  the  late  fall  or  the 
early  spring,  however  when  set  in  the  fall  they  should  have 
good  winter  protection  as  soon  as  freezing  weather  sets  in. 


Spring  Care  of  Roses 

As  soon  as  the  frost  is  out  of  the  ground  in 
the  spring  you  must  remove  the  covering 
that  "has  been  about  your  bushes  during 
their  winter  rest.  Do  not  delay  this  removal 
or  harm  will  be  done  to  the  tender  buds  that 
will  start.  The  removal  of  this  covering 
should  be  gradual  especially  if  the  sun  is 
bright  for  the  branches  will  bum  very  easily 
when 'unaccustomed  to  exposure.  What¬ 
ever  must  be  done  in  the  way  of  pruning 
should  be  done  now  before  the  buds  start. 
A  thorough  cultivation  of  the  soil  should  be 
undertaken  as  soon  as  possible,  this  should 
be  to  a  depth  of  2  to  2  inches,  and  this  is  an 
excellent  opportunity  to  introduce  more  fer¬ 
tility  into  the  soil  working  it  in  as  you  culti¬ 
vate.  If  stable  manure  is  used  it  should  be 
well  rotted  and  thoroughly  incorporated  in 
the  soil  allowing  none  to  remain  on  the  sur¬ 
face.  Bone  meal  is  an  excellent  fertilizer  for 
Roses  but  should  be  very  fine  ground  and 
applied  in  small  amounts  at  frequent  inter¬ 
vals  during  the  season.  Roses  should  be 
watched  throughout  the  season  for  insect 
pests  and  disease  which  should  be  immed¬ 
iately  attended  to  upon  their  appearance.

The  great  value  of  this  class  of  roses  is  in  their  everblooming  habit, 
producing  their  beautiful  fragrant  buds  and  roses  continually  from  June 
to  October. 

They  are  not  absolutely  hardy  in  the  North,  but  with  proper  protection 
will  winter  over  nicely,  and  will  amply  repay  you  for  the  extra  labor  re¬ 
quired.  The  best  plan  in  planting  Hybrid  Tea  Roses  is  in  prepared  beds, 
3  or  4  feet  wide.  Prepare  the  soil  to  a  depth  of  2  feet,  and  plant  15  to  18 
inches  apart.  Cultural  instructions  sent  you  with  each  order.

4401  Frau  Karl  Druschki 

among  the  members  of  the  American  Rose  Society  brought  out 
the  information  that  this  is  the  most  popular  Rose  in,  America. 
Its  pure,  snowy-white,  unshaded  blooms  are  of  immense  size, 
sometimes  reaching  almost  6  inches  in  diameter,  and  they 
are  of  lasting  quality,  on  fine  stems,  though  without  fragrance. 
The  plant  grows  very  strongly  and  vigorously,  and  in  addition 
to  its  abundant  bloom  in  June,  will,  if  kept  growing,  produce 
many  flowers  throughout  the  summer  and  in  the  autumn.  No 
substitute  for  “Druschki”  has  yet  appeared.

4636  Thg  Mastodon  Everbearing  Strawberry 

If  we  may  judge  the  very  enthusiastic  reports  we 
have  received  from  those  who  have  tested  this 
wonderful  Everbearing  Strawberry,  we  are  doing 
our  patrons  a  real  favor  by  giving  them  an  oppor¬ 
tunity  to  test  its  merits.  We  have  not  grown  it 
ourselves,  but  must  depend  on  the  veracity  of 
those  who  are  growing  it.  The  following  descrip¬ 
tions  are  those  given  us  by  the  growers  who  are 
supplying  our  plants.

real  Strawberry  flavor.  It  is  a  berry  that  bears  early  and 
late,  one  that  can  be  picked  all  spring  and  summer.  Many  of 
the  berries  grow  as  large  as  a  silver  dollar  and  are  just  as  per¬ 
fect.

The  New  Big  Latham  Red  Raspberry 


“Large  size,  fine  red  color,  firmness  and  good  quality  make 
the  Latham  a  favorite  with  growers,  merchants  and  con¬ 
sumers.” 

Because  of  its  extreme  hardiness  and  splendid  vigor,  the 
Latham  will  produce  more  berries  than  any  other  variety. 
A  three  year  old  field  produced  5430  quarts,  per  acre.  Reports 
of  over  $1,000  per  acre  are  not  uncommon. 


Prof.  Alderman,  Chief  Horticulturist,  University  of  Minne¬ 
sota,  says,  “This  variety  not  only  is  resistant  to  our  winter 
conditions  but  is  also  one  of  the  most  productive  raspberries 
with  which  we  are  familiar.  Its  attractive  coloring  and 
firmness  give  it  such  a  favorable  appearance  that  it  ordinarily 
commands  a  higher  price  than  other  varieties.”  The  plants 
we  offer  are  absolutely  free  from  “Mosaic  Disease,”  the  great 
enemy  of  raspberry  growers.

least  injury. 

Its  two  big  features:  First,  they  are  a  week  to  ten  days 
earlier  than  other  varieties  and  second,  on  account  of  their 
large  size,  they  will  always  bring  the  highest  price  on  the 
market.  ,v 

Price,  6  for  90c,  doz.  $1.75,  25  for  $3.25,  50  for  $6.00,  100

This  Booklet  Will  Help  You 

In  the  fall  when  most  of  your  garden  activities  are  past,  surely  you  have  some  spaces  that 
you  would  like  to  have  planted  to  some  of  the  things  that  do  not  have  to  be  replanted 
each  spring,  and  this  is  just  the  time  to  do  it.  This  booklet  will  help  you  decide  what  to 
plant  in  each  place.  It’s  a  pleasure  to  plant  in  the  fall,  too,  you  are  not  so  hurried, 
the  ground  works  so  much  nicer  and  the  picture  of  needed  changes  in  your  garden  are 
yet  fresh  in  your  mind.  We  are  sure  this  Fall  Planting  Guide  will  help  you,  and  we 
will  be  glad  to  send  you  a  copy  if  you  will  just  drop  us  a  card  asking  for  it.  Do  it  today. 


FALL  BULBS 

TULIP  -  HYACINTH  -  NARCISSUS  -  CROCUS 

The  bulbs  of  Tulips,  Hyacinths,  Narcissi  and  others  that  bloom  early 
in  the  spring  are  not  available  until  fall,  and  fall  is  also  the  proper  time  to 
plant  them.  So  we  issue  an  entirely  new  catalog  at  that  time,  usually 
about  the  first  of  September,  and  include  in  it  a  large  list  of  the  best 
varieties  of  Dutch  Bulbs. 


From  Holland  Fields  to  Your  Garden 

Tulips,  Hyacinths  and  other  Dutch  Bulbs  offered  to  you  in  our  fall 
catalog  are  imported  by  us  direct  from  Holland.  Mr.  Templin  has 
been  importing  bulbs  from  Holland  since  1885,  this  long  experience  and 
wide  acquaintance  with  the  Holland  growers  has  put  us  in  position  to 
obtain  for  you  the  very  best  that  the  Holland  fields  produce.
