Deciduous  Shrubs 

Deliveries  made  from  November  until  May;  orders 
are  accepted  at  any  time  for  delivery  in  season. 

We  use  every  precaution  to  deliver  healthy,  vigorous  stock, 
but  the  measure  of  your  success  will  depend  upon  the  plant¬ 
ing  and  care  given.  Avoid  unnecessary  exposure  of  roots  to 
the  air.  In  the  case  of  evergreens  that  are  “balled,”  do  not 
remove  the  burlap.  Plant  as  received,  only  cut  the  string 
around  the  top,  then  loosen  burlap  after  tree  is  set.  If  you 
cannot  plant  immediately  on  receipt,  always  “heel”  in  sa 
roots  may  be  in  contact  with  good  soil. 

If  the  soil  is  good  and  properly  prepared,  only  a  hole  large 
enough  to  easily  take  the  roots  need  be  dug,  but  better  re¬ 
sults  can  always  be  obtained  by  digging  out  a  large  space 
and  filling  in  with  good  top  soil.  In  setting  trees,  do  not 
put  deeper  than  they  stood  in  the  nursery,  excepting  some 
dwarfs,  which  go  a  little  deeper.  Be  sure  to  Pack  Earth 
Solidly  Around  Roots.  Neglect  of  this  causes  many  failures.

Coniferous  Evergreen  Trees 


In  handling  and  planting  evergreens 
never  allow  the  roots  to  become  dry 
for  an  instant.  Their  juices  are  resin¬ 
ous,  and  when  once  dry,  water  has  no 
power  to  restore  them ;  dip  the  roots 
in  “grout”  or  very  thin  mud,  and  plant 
quickly ;  cover  the  roots  wnth  fresh  soil 
and  with  a  heavy  piece  of  wood  beat 
the  earth  solid  over  them.  Fill  up  and 
pound  again,  and  finish  by  bringing 
fresh  loose  earth  about  the  tree  with  a 
hoe.  No  wind  can  now  bend  the  tree 
about  so  as  to  break  the  tender  rootlets 
as  fast  as  formed.

PEONIES 

Peonies  make  a  gorgeous  display  whether  in  landscape, 
flower  bod,  border  or  garden,  and  for  those  who  have  only 
limited  time  for  the  care  of  flowers,  nothing  will  give  so 
much  joy  and  satisfaction  and  endure  so  long  as  these  won¬ 
derful  flowers.  Color  schemes  are  not  necessary  for  beautiful 
effects,  any  combination  is  delightful.  They  are  nearly  al¬ 
ways  free  from  disease,  few  insects  bother  them  and  they 
succeed  in  almost  any  soil  or  climate.  They  improve  quickly 
season  aft  ‘r  season  and  each  year  flower  and  plant  become 
increasingly  beautiful. 

CULTURE.  Fall  is  the  best  time  to  plant,  because  blooms  will 
usually  follow  the  next  spring,  although  planting  may  be  done  in 
e.nrly  spring  Peonies  need  a  deep  soil,  not  too  much  gravel,  a  good 
clay  loam  is  best,  and  work  soil  to  a  good  depth.  Give  a  good  dressing 
of  bone  meal  at  planting  time  and  repeat  every  second  year.  Sheep 
guano  is  also  good  to  work  in  the  bed.  Cover  the  crown  not  over  2 
inches  deep.  When  cutting  Peonies  allow  at  least  two  leaves  to  remain 
on  each  stem ;  the  roots  need  these  for  full  growth.  Do  not  remove 
foliage  until  it  is  thoroughly  dead.  Plant  immediately  upon  arrival. 
If  roots  are  dry  when  received,  soak  over  night  before  planting.  Pre¬ 
pare  soil  long  enough  in  advance  to  allow  it  to  settle  before  planting.

JAPANESE  IRIS 

(KAEMPFERI) 

All  the  colors  of  the  rainbow  are  gathered  into  their 
wonderful,  vivid,  yet  harmonious  shadings  and  silky 
texture.  They  average  about  4  feet  in  height  with 
flowers  5  to  7  inches  across,  although  in  the  hands 
of  experts  they  reach  the  great  size  of  12  inches. 
They  are  surely  worth  a  choice  place  in  every  gar¬ 
den.  Each  year  the  clumps  increase  in  size  and  the 
flowers  become  more  beautiful. 

CULTURE — They  are  very  unlike  Hardy  Iris  in  culture. 
Japanese  Iris  requires  plenty  of  water  and  good  soil  to  get 
the  best  blooms ;  they  do  especially  well  on  the  borders  of 
streams  or  ponds.  A  good  dressing  of  bone  meal  is  a  big 
help  when  planting.  Plant  about  3  inches  deep  and  12  inches 
apart,  divide  the  clumps  every  other  year.  They  bloom 
after  the  Hardy  Iris.  Doubles  have  six  petals,  singles  have 
three  petals.

HARDY  IRIS 

Also  known  as  German  Iris,  Liberty  Iris,  Bearded  Iris, 
Fleur  de  Lis  or  Flag  Lilies 

The  growing  of  the  Iris  is  greatly  increasing  each  year 
on  account  of  their  rare  beauty  as  well  as  ease  of  grow¬ 
ing.  They  are  hardy,  drouth  resisting;  they  come  at  a 
time  when  the  garden  needs  their  color,  they  bloom  the 
first  season  after  planting  and  soon  form  big  clumps 
which  are  easily  divided  and  transplanted. 


Special  Mixture  oS  Hardy  Iris 

These  are  our  regular  grade  iris  as 
shown  in  list,  but  some  get  mixed. 
They  will  make  a  beautiful  showing 
at  a  wonderfully  low  price.  Order 
early  as  stock  is  limited. 

100  for  $s.00 


Cultivation  is  easy;  sunny  situation  needed;  soil  dry  and  well  drained  (hardy  iris  cannot  stand  water  around 
the  roots).  Plant  with  bulb  just  below  the  surface,  spread  the  roots  out  and  pack  the  soil.  No  fertilizer  should 
touch  rhizomes.  Water  about  once  in  two  weeks  until  well  established.  Bone  meal  and  ground  limestone  are 
good  fertilizers.

Plants  and  Seeds 


IMPORTANT  NOTICE.  In  our  catalog  this  season  we  have  separated  the  Annual  and  Pe¬ 
rennial  Seeds  and  Plants  and  in  the  following  pages  show  a  more  complete  list  of  Perennials 
than  ever  before.  Many  are  NEW  and  RARE;  the  original  plants  having  been  secured  from 
Europe;  and  all  plants  propagated  from  cuttings  or 
root  divisions  are  guaranteed  true  to  name  and  color.  We  offer 
well-rooted  specimens  that  can  be  safely  packed  and  promptly 
delivered  in  perfect  condition.  If  you  contemplate  large  plant¬ 
ings  or  special  effects,  let  us  know  your  plans  and  requirements. 

We  can  supply  in  any  quantity  for  every  requirement  at  lowest 
prices. 

NEW  INTERESTING  ALPINES 

The  popularity  of  rockeries,  rock  gardens,  lily  ponds,  etc.,  has 
increased  so  greatly  we  have  selected  and  include  in  our  compi¬ 
lation  an  exceptionally  large  and  fine  list  of  alpines  especially 
suited  for  these  purposes  and  have  endeavored  to  make  the  descriptions  as  clear  and  concise  as  possible.  We 
hope  that  you  will  enjoy  reading  through  the  entire  list  as  much  as  we  have  enjoyed  preparing  it  and  that 
you  will  find  many  new  and  pleasing  selections  for  your  rockeries.  With  the  exception  of  a  few  of  the  newest 
and  most  rare  varieties,  our  plants  are  field  grown,  are  given  constant  care  and  cultivation  and  when  sent 
out  are  strong  and  well  developed;  much  larger  and  worth  a  great  deal  more  money  than  pot-grown  plants. 
While  we  endeavor  to  secure  the  best  possible  seeds  from  the  most  reliable  sources,  we  cannot  guarantee,  as 
to  form  and  color,  plants  propagated  from  seed,  especially  hybrids.  Please  do  not  specify  straight  colors  on 
hybrids  that  are  listed  “in  mixture  of  colors  only.”

Better  Crops 


For  over  thirty  years  the 
Portland  Seed  Company 
has  been  working  in  co¬ 
operation  with  the  farm¬ 
ers  of  the  Pacific  Northwest  in  studying,  ex¬ 
perimenting  and  demonstrating  by  every 
manner  of  test  the  value  of  each  fertilizing  in¬ 
gredient.  In  our  own  laboratory,  scientific 
tests  are  being  made  continuously  to  prove 
the  results  of  practical  experiments  and  inves¬ 
tigations  under  regular  farming  conditions. 


Based  on  these  tests,  our  Diamond  Quality  Mixed  Fertilizers  have  been  developed  and  have 
consistently  been  perfected.  Full  descriptions  of  each  fertilizer  are  given  below.  The  first 
figure  in  the  formula  is  the  per  cent  of  nitrogen,  the  second  figure  the  per  cent  of  phosphor¬ 
ous  and  the  third  figure  the  per  cent  of  potash.

and  bear  abundantly  in  one  section  often 
prove  disappointing  under  variable  con¬

are  totally  unsuited  for 
profitable  marketing.  For 
this  reason  we  offer  a 
large  assortment  of  im¬ 
proved  varieties  carefully 
tested  and  selected  for 
their  special  merits  and 
their  adaptability  to 
varying  conditions,  and 
if  you  will  state  whether 
you  intend  growing  for 
distant  or  local  market 
or  for  home  use,  giving 
location  and  general  con¬ 
ditions,  we  can  recom¬ 
mend  or  assist  in  the 
selection  of  those  varieties  that 
will  give  you  the  best  resulte. 
If  trees  are  frozen  in  transit, 
do  not  unpack,  but  set  away  in 
a  cool  cellar  and  allow  them  to  thaw 
gradually.  Trees  or  roses  that  are  dried 
out  and  shriveled  should  be  buried,  tops 
and  all,  in  moist  earth  for  a  few  days. 
This  will  restore  them.

bearing  Strawberries.  Require  special  care 
and  attention,  as  the  late  fruit  will  be  small 
and  yield  less  if  blossoms  are  not  removed 
and  plants  are  allowed  to  fruit  early  and 
continuously.  When  properly  grown  they 
are  of  splendid  quality  and  yield  heavily 
until^  frost.  Rich,  red  color,  firm  and  of 
delicious  flavor.  Good  keepers  and  shippers.

MASTODON  STRAWBERRIES 

The  largest  everbearing  berry  grown.  Mastodon  is  the  most 
prolific,  the  firmest,  the  most  beautiful  berry  with  the  real 
Strawberry  flavor.  Bears  early  and  late.  Can  be  picked 
all  Spring  and  Summer.  Many  of  the  berries  grow  as  large 
as  a  silver  dollar,  and  are  just  as  perfect.  Mastodon  is  the 
real  marvel  in  Strawberries ;  nothing  like  it  has  ever  been 
known. 

Big  yields  of  big  berries  under  all  conditions  —  does  not 
require  special  soil,  petting  or  care. 

Just  plant  them  out  this  Spring  in  ordinary  soil  that  will 
produce  good  garden  or  farm  crops,  give  them  only  ordinary 
care,  keep  the  blossoms  cut  off  until  July  1 — that’s  all  there 
is  to  it.  In  about  three  weeks  you’ll  have  berries — big, 
red,  delicious  berries — lots  of  them  and  you  will  continue 
having  them  until  Winter. 

Prepaid,  12  SOc  ;  25  $1.25;  100  $3.00. 

Not  prepaid,  12  60c  ;  25  90c;  100  $2.50;  1000  $20.00
