Six  million  Daffodil  blooms  at  our  Mile-Front  Daffodil  Farm  at  Islip,  L.  I. 


From  Grower  to  Planter 


We  are  very  glad  to  report  at  this  writing  that  the  Daffodils  grown 
at  our  Mile-Front  Daffodil  Farm  at  Islip,  Long  Island,  have  continued 
to  do  well  with  us,  and  at  the  present  time  the  crop  indicates  a  great 
improvement  over  the  crops  of  previous  seasons. 

Many  of  the  finest  exhibition  Daffodil  blooms  at  the  International 
Flower  Show,  held  at  the  Grand  Central  Palace  every  year  in  March, 
weie  produced  from  bulbs  grown  on  Long  Island.  It  is  agreed  by 
many  Daffodil  experts  that  no  better  flowers,  as  far  as  length  of  stem 
and  size  of  bloom  is  concerned,  were  exhibited  at  any  New  York  Show 
than  those  which  have  been  shown  this  past  year. 

The  bulbs  offered  in  this  Catalogue  are  grown  in  America,  Bermuda, 
France,  Japan,  and  Holland,  but  principally  in  Holland.  The  reports 
of  crop  conditions  from  these  countries  generally  are  more  favorable 


than  they  were  when  we  issued  our  Advance  Bulb  Catalogue  on  May 
I,  and  while  our  Government  has  increased  the  tariff  very  materially 
on  Tulips,  Lilies  and  Crocuses,  we  are  able,  owing  to  these  favorable 
crop  reports  and  to  our  advance  contracts  placed  with  reliable 
growers,  to  not  greatly  increase  the  prices  in  this  Catalogue  over  our 
Advance  Bulb  Catalogue.  Advances  in  price  have  been  made  on  a 
percentage  of  the  Tulips  offered.  These  higher  prices  have  been 
largely  due  to  the  increased  tariff. 

In  presenting  this  Catalogue  to  our  readers,  we  do  so  with  the  con¬ 
fidence  which  has  come  to  us  after  a  very  extensive  experience 
during  the  past  33  years  in  growing  as  well  as  in  learning  the  best 
sources  of  supply  for  what  we  term  High  Quality  Bulbs  only. 


TIME  OF  DELIVERY 


Bulbs  and  roots  mature  and  ripen  during  the  late  summer  and 
autumn  and  shipments  will  be  made  as  follows  in  the  absence  of 
instructions  to  the  contrary: 

SEPTEMBER  includes  Lilium  Harrisii,  L.  formosum,  L.  can-

Japanese  Lilies,  as  listed  on  pages  31  and  32,  namely,  au- 
ratum,  speciosum  magnifieum,  and  album,  from  the  Orient 
until  the  ground  has  become  frozen  in  some  parts  of  the  country. 
These  may  be  kept  in  a  cool  cellar  and  planted  in  the  spring,  or, 
if  you  so  advise,  we  can  ship  these  three  items  in  the  spring.

GUARANTEES 

Our  methods  of  handling  bulbs  practically  preclude  the  possibility 
of  stock  proving  unsatisfactory,  and  the  percentage  of  complaints  is 
really  negligible.  We  guarantee  all  bulbs  sent  out  to  be  true  to  name 
and  of  proper  flowering  age.  It  is,  however,  impracticable  owing  to 
contingencies  of  soil,  climate,  season,  or  faulty  planting,  to  guarantee 
that  all  bulbs  we  send  out  will  flower  satisfactorily.  We  make 
complete  trials  of  all  the  varieties  we  send  out  at  our  own  trial- 
grounds  and  know,  from  extended  experience,  that  all  our  bulbs  flower 
satisfactorily  if  given  just  ordinary  attention.

GIANT  DARWIN  TULIPS,  May-Flowering 


For  the  herbaceous  border,  massed  in  clumps  along  the  edge  of  shrubbery,  or 
as  cut-flowers  for  vases,  these  are  conceded  to  be  the  superior  of  all  the  Tulips 


The  enthusiasm  for  the  Darwin  Tulip  is  not  due  to  fad  or  popular  fancy,  but  rather  to  an  awakened  sense  of  appreciation  of  its 
majestic  beauty.  The  rich,  bright  colors  of  the  blooms,  their  somber  tones,  their  many  pale  and  more  lovely  colors,  produced  on  strong, 
gigantic  stems  from  2  to  3  feet,  all  vie  with  one  another  and  capture  even  the  casual  observer  of  spring-flowering  bulbs.  Once  grown,  the 
amateur  becomes  interested  and  soon  becomes  a  fancier  with  a  hoard  of  varieties,  excusably  jealous  of  every  one  he  or  she  grows. 

For  the  borders  among  other  hardy  flowers,  in  formal  gardens  in  conjunction  with  Single  Early  Tulips,  for  isolated  groupings  against 
a  background  of  shrubs,  or  for  combinations  of  delicate  colors  for  effects  of  contrast  in  the  flower-garden,  the  Darwins  are  without  a  peer. 

They  range  in  color  from  the  daintiest  pink,  rose,  salmon,  red,  etc.,  to  deep,  rich  crimson;  from  lavender  through  mauve  and  light  blue  to 
violet-purpleand  the  so-called  “Black  Tulip”  ;  and  we  also  offer  one  variety  of  yellow.  For  a  complete  list  of  yellow  varieties  we  suggest  selections  be 
made  from  Cottage  and  Hybrid  Tulips  offered  on  pages  10  and  11.  All  buff  and  bronze  shades  frequently  classed  as  Darwins  are  Breeders. 

CULTURE. — Bulbs  should  be  planted  5  to  6  inches  deep  and  not  less  than  5  inches  apart.  Sand  to  the  depth  of  V2inch  at  the  base 
of  the  bulbs  will  amply  repay  the  trouble  by  the  provision  for  drainage  during  wet  weather.  For  forcing,  bulbs  should  be  planted  as  soon 
as  received,  and  the  flowers  appear  to  better  advantage  if  pots  a  trifle  deeper  than  the  ordinary  bulb-pans  are  used.  We  recommend  what 
are  termed  azalea-pots  for  this  purpose.  A  temperature  of  55  to  60  degrees  is  recommended,  for  if  allowed  to  “come  gently,’’  larger  flowers 
and  longer  stems  may  be  had.

DUTCH  BREEDER  TULIPS, 


May-Flowering 


Breeder  Tulips  are  very  similar  in  habit  to  the  Darwins,  and  flower  at  the  same  time.  Their  chief  characteristic  is  their  immense  blooms, 
borne  on  strong,  stiff  stems,  many  of  them  longer  than  the  most  gigantic  Darwins.  The  revival  of  the  taste  for  art  colors  has  made  these 
Tulips,  at  one  time  very  popular  in  England,  strong  favorites  with  American  enthusiasts,  who  find  in  their  bronze,  buff,  and  brown  shades 
excellent  material  for  contrasting  with  the  light  and  bright  colors  of  the  Darwins.  They  require  the  same  cultural  treatment  as  the  Darwins.

COTTAGE  AND  HYBRID  TULIPS 


MAY-FLOWERING 


The  Cottage  Tulips,  like  the  Darwins,  flower  late.  Many  of  the  varieties  are  used  extensively  for  late  bedding  and  are  magnificent  for 
this  purpose.  The  pale  primrose,  deep  yellow,  and  splendid  white  varieties  are  often  planted  with  the  Darwins  for  effects  of  contrast.  The 
following  list  we  feel  sure  contains  most  of  the  best  varieties.  Certain  varieties,  like  some  of  the  Darwins,  will  flower  a  few  days  earlier  than 
others,  but  on  the  whole  the  earliest  is  just  at  its  best  when  the  latest-flowering  variety  is  just  beginning  to  show  bloom.  We  have  included 
many  of  the  finest  of  the  new  late-flowering  Hybrid  Tulips.  They  are  the  results  of  crossing  the  Darwin  with  Cottage  Tulips,  and  bloom 
at  the  same  time  as  the  other  May-flowering  varieties.

STUMPP  &  WALTER  CO.’S  SELECTED  BULBS 


Striped  and  Feathered  May-Flowering  Tulips 


BYBLOEM  AND  BIZARRE  TULIPS 


Rose  Bybloem  Tulip,  Athalia 


Bybloem  and  Bizarre  Tulips  are  "rectified”  Breeder  types.  The  Tulips  arc  of 
an  old  race  which  has  been  grown  in  Holland  and  in  France  since  the  beginning  of 
the  seventeenth  century,  and  which  caused  the  famous  Tulip  craze  in  1635.  The 
Bybloems  are  queerly  striped  and  feathered  rose  or  violet  on  a  white  ground.  The 
Bizarres  have  dark  brown  stripes  and  feathering  on  a  yellow  ground.  The  varieties 
offered  are  the  newer  sorts,  and  the  flowers  are  larger  than  the  older  and  smaller- 
flowering  sorts.  They  flower  about  the  same  time  as  the  Breeder  and  Darwin 
Tulips  but  do  not  grow  quite  so  tall,  and  are  seen  at  best  advantage  when  planted  in 
clumps  in  the  herbaceous  border  or  among  evergreens  and  shrubs.  The  stems 
average  from  18  to  23  inches  in  height.

REMBRANDT  TULIPS 

Rembrandt  Tulips  are  in  reality  “broken”  forms  of  Darwin  Tulips.  Each  year 
many  of  our  best  varieties  of  Darwin  Tulips  show  a  tendency  To  break,  or  become  va¬ 
riegated.  These  Tulips,  on  account  of  their  odd  colorings  and  variegations,  were 
very'  popular  at  one  time,  and  while  the  modern  tendency  to  favor  self-colors  is  recog¬ 
nized  generally  throughout  all  countries,  these  broken  forms  are  sometimes  preferred 
and  possess  splendid  decorative  value.  The  stems  average  from  18  to  22  in.  in  height.

Parrot  Tulips 


SINGLE  EARLY  TULIPS 


FOR  APRIL-BLOOMING  OUTDOORS,  POTS  AND  FORCING 

Few,  if  any,  of  the  spring-blooming  flowers  rival  the  Tulip  for  brilliancy  of  bloom  or  ease  of  culture.  For  formal  beds  on  the  lawn  or 
garden  borders  they  are  excellent  subjects.  They  do  not  possess  the  same  size  of  bloom  and  length  of  stem  of  the  May-flowering  Darwin, 
Breeder  and  Cottage  varieties,  but  where  early  blooms  are  desired  they  are  frequently  used.  Many  of  the  varieties  may  be  forced  in  bloom 
in  January,  while  all  the  varieties  may  be  easily  had  in  flower  in  pots  late  in  February  or  early  March. 

Culture. — For  indoor  blooming  they  require  the  same  cultural  treatment  as  Hyacinths. 

Outdoor  Culture. — Bulbs  may  be  planted  with  good  assurance  of  success  even  in  early  December,  if  the  ground  is  open.  They  should 
be  planted  not  more  than  5  inches  apart,  covering  the  bulbs  about  4  inches  over  the  top.  After  the  first  sharp  frost  which  forms  a  light  crust 
on  the  surface  of  the  soil,  old  leaves  or  litter  should  be  spread  about  6  inches  thick  over  beds  or  borders  to  prevent  frost  from  going  deeper. 
Do  not  cover  bulbs,  if  planted  early,  until  the  first  sharp  frost,  as  field-mice  frequently  nest  among  leaves  and  destroy  bulbs,  which  is  im¬ 
possible  if  the  covering  is  placed  after  the  first  hard  frost. 

Note. — The  letters  A,  B  and  C,  following  the  varieties  indicate  their  relative  earliness  of  bloom;  but,  with  few  exceptions,  most  of  the 
varieties,  however,  bloom  outdoors  about  the  same  time  when  planted  in  masses.  The  figures  indicate  the  height  in  inches. 

The  following  list  contains  the  best  novelties  extant,  as  well  as  a  complete  list  of  the  best  standard  varieties.  We  have  discarded  quite 
a  number  of  varieties  which  no  longer  grow  well.

DOUBLE  EARLY  TULIPS 


FLOWERS  JUST  AFTER  EARLY  TULIPS,  IN  LATE  APRIL 


Double  Tulips  are  chiefly  grown  for  their  showy  effects  in  masses, 
and  are  very  lasting.  Where  a  display  of  color  is  desired  they  are 
very  satisfactory.  Excellent  for  growing  in  pots  or  pans,  but 
should  not  be  forced  into  bloom  very  early. 

The  following  list  contains  many  of  the  best  tested  novelties, 
as  well  as  all  worth-while  standard  sorts.

DOUBLE  LATE  TULIPS 


Among  the  recent  advances  made  by  Tulip  hybridizers  in  Holland,  the  Double  Late  Tulip  may  be  counted  as  a  distinct  achievement 
from  the  standpoint  of  the  wonderful  peonv-like  flowers,  strong  stems,  and  well-filled  blooms.  For  mass  effect  in  the  herbaceous  border  there 
are  few  Tulips  that  will  give  such  a  wonderful  display.  This,  taken  in  connection  with  the  unusual  colors,  should  increase  their  demand  by 
Tulip-lovers.  The  four  varieties  listed  below  bloom  about  the  same  time  as  the  May-flowering  Tulips  listed  in  our  catalogue  under  the 


headings,  Darwin,  Dutch  Breeder,  and  Cottage  and  Hybrid  Tulips. 

Bleu  Celeste.  Large,  soft  violet-purple  flowers  of  a  very  pleas- 

- -  ing  color.  A  fine  Tulip  for  cutting  and  excellent 

for  planting  in  the  herbaceous  border.  Height  14  inches.  $1.50 
per  doz.,  $12  per  100. 

Epicure.  ®ne  tBe  finest  new  Double  Late  Tulips.  Its  color 

- -  strikes  a  new  note  in  Tulip  shades  and  is  perhaps  best 

described  as  an  even  tone  of  rich  apricot-salmon  that  looks  particu¬ 
larly  attractive  in  the  bright  sunshine  and  is  very  pleasing  under 
artificial  light.  Height  20  inches.  $3.50  per  doz.,  $25  per  100. 


Mount  Tacoma  f°rm  this  Tulip  is  somewhat  on  the  order 

- "  of  a  semi-double  pure  white  peony,  the  petals 

being  slightly  laciniated.  Another  real  gem  for  the  herbaceous 
border  on  account  of  its  well-formed  flower  and  large  size.  Height 
26  inches.  $5  per  doz.,  540  per  100. 

Pensee  Rose.  Another  Tulip  of  unique  color,  which  is  perhaps 

- - - -  best  described  as  a  deep  rose-lavender.  The  large, 

well-formed  flowers  are  borne  on  stems  24  inches  tall.  $5  per  doz., 
540  per  100.

SPECIAL  NOTICE! 

American- Grown  Daffodil  Bulbs 

(FOR  NATURALIZING) 

AS  WE  were  advised  in  the  fall  of  1923  by  the  Federal  Horticultural  Board  that  importation  of  Holland 
Daffodil  bulbs  into  the  United  States,  for  commercial  sale,  would  be  restricted  after  January,  1926, 
we  began  immediately  to  experiment  with  the  production  of  this  much-loved  spring-flowering,  bulbous 
plant  in  this  country.  After  extended  experiments  we  proved  that  the  stock  grown  at  our  Long  Island 
farms  produced  bulbs  of  high  quality,  some  of  the  varieties  producing  hardy,  sound,  heavier  stock  than  could 
be  grown  in  Holland. 

In  order  to  encourage  wider  use  of  this  splendid  spring-flowering  bulb,  we  are  prepared  to  offer: 

Special  Mixture  of  Medium  and  Giant  Trumpet  Varieties 
$7.50  per  100,  $70  per  1,000,  $650  per  10,000 

Muscari  or  Grape  Hyacinth,  Heavenly  Blue 

One  of  the  loveliest  of  the  spring-flowering  bulbous  plants  for  naturalizing.  They  begin  to  bloom  just 
after  the  crocuses  and  chionodoxas.  The  variety  Heavenly  Blue  is  excellent  for  planting  in  masses  in  the  wild 
garden  or  along  shrubbery  borders  in  conjunction  with  daffodils.  The  blue  coloring  makes  a  delightful  contrast. 
Given  a  congenial  location  and  left  undisturbed  they  reseed  themselves  and  bloom  profusely  every  year.

NARCISSI  or  DAFFODILS 


No  garden  would  be  complete  without  the  Narcissus  or  Daffodil.  The  innumerable  positions  in  the  garden  in  which  their  use  may  be 
availed  of  is  responsible  for  their  popularity.  It  is  not  only  for  garden  culture  that  they  are  largely  used,  but  many  of  the  varieties  are  ex¬ 
tensively  grown  in  pots  or  pans  for  indoor  decoration  during  late  winter  months.  Some  varieties  in  our  list  may  be  forced  into  bloom  as 
early  as  January.  Their  simple  beauty  of  form,  dignity  of  habit,  elegance  of  bloom  and  ease  of  culture,  account  for  the  new  interest  amount¬ 
ing  to  enthusiasm  of  flower-lovers  all  over  Europe.  Each  year  we  are  greeted  with  a  profusion  of  novelties,  many  of  which,  on  account  of 
the  high  prices,  are  not  available  for  immediate  use. 

All  the  varieties  of  Narcissi  or  Daffodils  offered  in  our  catalogue,  with  the  exception  of  the  Polyanthus  Narcissus  and  such  other  few  sorts 
as  are  especially  noted,  are  perfectly  hardy,  and  will  continue  to  flower  outdoors  each  year  if  given  a  congenial  location  and  not  dis¬ 
turbed.  Where  they  are  used  for  bedding,  and  must  be  lifted,  it  is  wise  to  permit  bulbs  to  remain  after  flowering  until  the  foliage  turns 
brown  down  to  the  ground,  then  lifted,  and  the  earth  shaken  from  the  bulbs;  they  should  be  stored  in  a  cool,  dry  place.  Narcissi,  like  hya¬ 
cinths,  should  be  planted  by  early  November,  and  should  not  be  allowed  to  remain  out  of  the  ground  so  long  as  tulips,  which  may  be 
planted  up  to  hard  frost. 

Culture. — Owing  to  the  various  sizes  of  the  bulbs,  it  is  not  advisable  to  state  the  exact  depth  to  plant,  but  the  simple  rule  of  covering 
the  bulb  one  and  a  half  times  its  own  depth,  and  making  the  distance  between  the  bulbs  3  to  4  inches  for  the  smaller  sorts  and  5  to  6  inches 
for  the  larger  ones,  is  a  good  one.  For  greenhouse  or  window-garden  culture  treat  them  the  same  as  hyacinths,  except  that  three  or  more  bulbs 
of  one  variety  should  be  planted  in  a  pot,  and  not  single  specimens. 

Where  a  succession  of  blooms  is  desired  for  outdoors  as  well  as  indoors,  we  have  arranged  the  following  code:  A,  first  early;  B,  second 
early;  C,  midseason;  D,  late;  E,  very  late. 

Note. — In  describing  Daffodils,  Narcissi,  etc.,  we  have  referred  to  the  “ perianth ”  and  “trumpet,"  “crown"  or  “cup."  The  “ perianth ”  is 
the  surrounding  row  of  petals  or  wings,  and  the  other  terms  apply  to  the  central  funnel-like  tube.

SPECIAL  NOTICE 
American-Grown  Daffodil  Bulbs 

As  we  were  advised  in  the  fall  of  1923  by  the  Federal 
Horticultural  Board  that  importation  of  Holland  Daffodil 
bulbs,  for  commercial  sale,  would  be  restricted  from  entry 
into  the  United  States  after  January,  1926,  we  began  im¬ 
mediately  to  experiment  with  the  production  of  this  much¬ 
loved  spring-flowering  bulbous  plant  in  this  country. 
After  extended  experiments,  we  proved  that  the  stock 
grown  at  our  Long  Island  farms  produced  bulbs  of  high 
quality,  some  of  the  varieties  producing  hardy,  sound, 
heavier  stock  than  could  be  grown  in  Holland. 

Golden  Spur  and  Victoria 

We  have  omitted  and  no  longer  grow  at  our  farm  the 
varieties  Golden  Spur  and  Victoria. 

Golden  Spur,  which  was  largely  used  as  an  early  va¬ 
riety,  cannot  be  produced  in  this  country  in  the  quality 
we  demand,  and  we  find  that  where  King  Alfred  is  properly 
handled  by  the  forcer,  it  can  be  brought  to  bloom  equally 
as  early  and  is  much  superior  in  size  and  refinement  of 
bloom. 

Victoria,  likewise,  does  not  do  well.  We  suggest 
Empress  or  Spring  Glory  for  this  variety.  Spring  Glory 
is  much  superior  in  every  way. 


Giant  Trumpet  Varieties, 
Including  New  and  Rare  Sorts 


The  flowers  of  the  Giant  Trumpet  varieties  are  of  large  size;  the 
"perianth,”  or  wing-like  petals,  according  to  the  variety,  measure 
from  2  to  4  inches  across,  and  the  “trumpets,”  or  central  funnel-like 
tubes,  vary  from  3  to  4  inches  in  length.  Flowers  are  borne  on  strong, 
stiff  stems,  from  12  to  18  inches  high.

Medium  Trumpet  Narcissi,  or  Daffodils 


This  is  also  a  very  popular  type  or  rather  types  of  the  Narcissus  or  Daffodil  family.  Splendid  for  garden  culture,  in  pots  or  pans,  or 
in  fiats,  for  cut-flowers. 

The  following  varieties  are  grouped  in  some  catalogues  under  the  headings,  Barrii,  Incomparabilis  and  Leedsii  types. 

Note. — “ Perianth ”  is  surrounding  row  of  petals,  or  wings;  “crown"  or  “cup"  is  the  central  cup  or  funnel-like  tube. 

BARRII.  Daffodils  belonging  to  this  group  are  crosses  between  Yellow  Giant  Trumpets  and  the  Poet’s  Narcissi.  The  crown  usually  is 
not  over  one-third  the  length  of  the  perianth  petals. 

INCOMPARABILIS.  The  Incomparabilis  varieties  are  also  crosses  between  the  Yellow  Giant  Trumpets  and  the  Poet’s  Narcissi,  but 
the  crowns  are  larger  than  those  of  the  Barrii  group,  sometimes  being  three-fourths  of  the  length  of  the  perianth  petals.  The  color  of  the 
perianth  is  either  yellow  or  white. 

LEEDSII.  These  are  crosses  between  White  Giant  Trumpets  and  the  Poet’s  Narcissi.  The  crowns  are  as  large  as  those  of  the  Barrii 
and  Incomparabilis  groups,  but  the  perianth  petals  are  always  white,  and  the  crowns  are  mostly  white  or  light  yellow.

Narcissus  Poetaz,  Aspasia 


Narcissus  Poeticus,  King  Edward  VII 


Narcissus  Poetaz 

THE  HARDY  CLUSTER-FLOWERED  POET’S  NARCISSUS 

The  chief  characteristics  of  this  type  of  Narcissus  is  that  hybridizers 
by  crossing  the  strong-scented  Polyanthus  varieties  with  the  Poeticus 
type,  developed  a  hardy  strain  of  Daffodils  which  has  the  bunch- 
flowered  character  of  the  Polyanthus  with  larger  flowers  similar  to 
the  Poet's  described  on  this  page.  They  are  excellent  for  pot  culture 
or  are  splendid  for  the  garden  border. 

ASPASIA.  C.  Perianth  pure  white,  with  soft  yellow  eye;  three  or 
four  flowers  on  a  stem.  One  of  the  best  of  this  class  and  especially 
bright  in  color.  Height  18  inches.  15  cts.  each,  $1.50  per  doz., 
$12  per  100,  $110  per  1,000.

four  flowers  on  a  stem.  A  very  easy  variety  to  get  in  flower  in  pots 
and  very  charming  on  account  of  the  size  of  the  flowers  and  striking 
contrast  of  the  dark  orange  eye.  Height  18  inches.  15  cts.  each, 
$1.50  per  doz.,  $12  per  100,  $110  per  1,000. 

KLONDYKE.  B.  Perianth  an  even  tone  of  pure  bright  yellow,  with

per  doz.,  $15  per  100. 

LAURENS  KOSTER.  B.  Perianth  pure  white,  with  soft  yellow  eye.

flowers.  It  is  a  strong  grower,  frequently  having  five  flowers  on  a 
stem.  Height  18  inches.  15  cts.  each,  $1.50  per  doz.,  $12  per 
100,  $110  per  1,000. 


The  Poet’s  Narcissi 

Narcissus  poeticus 

This  class  of  Narcissus,  instead  of  having  a  trumpet  or  crown,  has 
a  small,  wide-mouthed  cup.  They  are  very  hardy,  and  are  used  in 
large  numbers  for  naturalizing,  their  simplicity  of  form  and  delightful 
fragrance  making  them  highly  prized.  Cassandra,  Epic,  King  Edward 
VII,  and  Ornatus  are  used  with  excellent  success  for  growing  indoors 
in  pots  or  pans,  or  gently  forced  into  bloom  for  cutting  purposes. 

POETICUS  (Pheasant’s  Eye).  D.  The  original  late-flowering 
Pheasant’s  Eye  variety  so  popular  for  gardens  and  naturalizing;

yellow,  rimmed  bright  red.  Height  17  inches.  15  cts.  each, 
$1.25  per  doz.,  $10  per  100,  $90  per  1,000.

light  yellow,  margined  deep  red.  A  vigorous  grower,  excellent  for

$1.25  per  doz.,  $9  per  100,  $85  per  1,000. 


Sweet-Scented  Jonquils

culture  in  pots  of  soil. 

Buttercup.  This  and  Gold  Sceptre  are  two  of  the  finest  new  Jonquils.  Pure  golden  yellow  overlapping  perianth;  straight  yellow  cup;

Golden  Sceptre.  This  free-flowering  hybrid  is  very  handsome.  Its  fine,  elegant  flowers  are  a  rich  golden  yellow,  sweetly  scented.  Height 
20  inches.  35  cts.  each,  $3.50  per  doz.,  $25  per  100. 

Giant  Campernelle  rugulosus.  Much  larger  and  finer  than  the  old  favorite  Campernelle  Jonquils;  a  much  freer  bloomer  and  much  more 
desirable,  especially  for  forcing.  Beautiful,  single,  yellow,  star-shaped  flowers,  exquisitely  imbricated,  borne  in  clusters  of  four  to  six  on 
a  stem;  delightfully  fragrant.  Also  very  hardy  and  valuable  for  outdoor  planting.  15c.  each,  $1.50  per  doz.,  $10  per  100,  $95  per  1,000. 

Rugulosus,  Double.  The  double  form  of  the  large-flowering  Campernelle  Jonquil.  Large,  double,  yellow  flowers;  very  fragrant  and  much 
superior  to  the  common  Double  Jonquil.  Height  20  inches.  15  cts.  each,  $1.50  per  doz.,  $10  per  100,  $95  per  1,000.

China  is  no  longer  permitted. 

Dishes  of  these,  grown  in  pebbles  and  water,  may  be  had  in 
bloom  continuously  from  Thanksgiving  until  Easter.  The

cool,  dry  place.  Plant  different  lots  every  three  weeks  from

Narcissus  Polyanthus  Orientalis 

The  “Shui  Sin  Far,”  or  Water  Fairy  Flower,  Joss  Flower  or 
Flower  of  the  Gods,  etc.,  as  it  is  called  by  the  Celestials,  is  a 
variety  of  Narcissus,  bearing  in  profusion  chaste  flowers  of 
silvery  white,  with  golden  yellow  cups.  They  are  of  exquisite 
beauty  and  entrancing  perfume. 

The  bulbs,  of  large  size  and  great  vitality,  are  of  luxuriant 
growth,  producing  several  spikes  of  flowers;  the  incredibly 
short  time  required  to  bring  bulbs  into  bloom  (four  to  six 
weeks  after  planting)  is  one  of  the  wonders  of  nature.  You 
can  almost  see  them  grow,  succeeding  almost  everywhere  and

doors,  but  are  admirably  adapted  for  indoor  growing  in  pots  and  pans,  or 
may  be  forced  in  flats  for  cutting  purposes.  We  have  listed  this  year  only 
one  of  the  newer  varieties  of  Double  Daffodils,  which  is  splendid  for  pot- 
culture  and  excellent  for  outdoor  planting  as  well;  owing  to  the  flowers  of 
American-grown  Von  Sion  Narcissus  and  other  double-flowering  varieties 
showing  a  tendency  to  “come  green,”  we  have  decided  to  omit  them  from 
our  list.

STUMPP  &  WALTER  CO.’S  SELECTED  BULBS 


EXHIBITION  HYACINTHS 


Every  year  our  growers  prepare  to  select  the  finest  grade  of  Hyacinths  for  us  for  exhibition.  These  bulbs  are  of  maximum  size,  and 
fully  aged  for  this  purpose.  The  varieties  listed  below  are  grown  especially  for  us,  and  intending  exhibitors  at  the  International  Flower 
Show  next  spring  will  be  interested  in  our  selection  of  varieties  which  we  believe,  when  grown  for  exhibition,  should  capture  First  Pre¬ 
miums.  The  Hyacinth  enthusiast  who  is  interested  in  novelty  varieties  will  also  find  this  list  valuable. 

We  offer  only  the  best  sorts.  There  are  several  hundred  varieties  grown  abroad,  but  we  do  not  consider  that  there  are  over  thirty  of 
them  worth  growing.  Bulbs  such  as  we  supply  should  be  planted  singly  in  a  5-inch  pot,  or  four  bulbs  to  an  8-inch  bulb-pan.  As  there  is  a 
slight  variation  in  the  time  of  flowering  between  the  different  varieties,  we  have  therefore  indicated  the  relative  time  of  blooming,  x  being 
early,  4  the  latest.

MATCHLESS  BEDDING  HYACINTHS 


Special  named  varieties  in  distinct  shades  of  color,  to  flower  at  the  same  time 

BULBS  MEASURE  7  TO  8  INCHES  IN  CIRCUMFERENCE 

The  Hyacinth  chosen  to  represent  each  of  the  following  shades  of  color  is  a  variety  which  we  have 
found  from  trials  will  be  best  in  the  three  essential  requirements:  Best  in  its  color;  stoutest  stem;  largest 
truss  of  bells;  so  our  customers  will  know  that  we  have  avoided  using  varieties  that  are  of  weak  stem, 
and  that  do  not  support  the  blooms. 

SPECIAL  NOTICE:  We  are  glad  to  report  that  stocks  of  High-Quality  Hyacinths  have  again  reached  prewar  size, 
= —  i  — — — I  and  that  we  are  able  to  supply  them  at  much  reduced  prices  this  year. 

CULTURE 

These  Hyacinths  should  be  planted  from  6  to  io  inches  apart,  and  covered  with  at  least  4  inches  of  soil  from  the  top  of  the  bulb. 
For  beds  or  borders  close  to  the  conservatory  or  dwelling,  6  inches  will  make  a  fine  display;  but  where  the  beds  are  planted  to  be  viewed 
from  a  distance,  they  may  be  planted  10  inches  apart.  Hyacinths  planted  alternately  with  narcissi  produce  a  most  graceful  effect,  and 
tor  this  combination  6  inches  from  bulb  to  bulb  is  also  a  very  suitable  distance.  It  is  advisable  to  cover,  after  the  bulbs  have  been  planted, 
with  leaves  or  some  heavy  material  that  will  prevent  them  from  freezing  or  being  affected  by  early  spring  frosts  after  they  have  started. 

Hyacinths,  as  well  as  narcissi,  should  be  planted  by  November  first  in  this  latitude,  as  they  are  the  better  for  early  planting.  Tulips 
may  be  planted  up  to  December  first,  weather  permitting.

Prepared  or  Treated  Dutch  Hyacinths 

These  Hyacinths  are  given  a  special  treatment  in  heated  warehouses  to 
advance  the  final  development  of  the  embryo  flower  and  thereby  make  it 
possible  to  have  them  in  bloom  about  three  weeks  before  the  others  offered 
in  our  list.  The  bulbs  are  not  as  large  as  our  Matchless  Bedding  or  Second 
Size  Hyacinths,  but  if  potted  early  and  given  ample  time  to  develop  strong 
roots,  will  bloom  early.  We  offer  five  distinct  varieties. 

L’lnnoeenee.  White.  Schotel.  Light  blue. 

Lady  Derby.  Rose  pink.  Laura.  Violet-blue. 

Nimrod.  Delicate  rose.

Miniature  or  Dutch  Roman  Hyacinths 

These  Hyacinths  ate  the  same  type  as  our  Exhibition  Hyacinths  and  our 
Matchless  Bedding,  except  that  they  are  small  bulbs  averaging  iJS  to  i  H 
inches  in  diameter.  They  are  splendid  for  growing  in  6-inch  pans,  and  it  is 
advisable  to  grow  one  color  of  a  variety  in  each  pan.  Largely  used  by  com¬ 
mercial  florists  for  Easter  trade.  We  offer  four  fine  varieties.

French  Roman  Hyacinths 

French  Roman  Hyacinths  are  among  the  earliest  bulbs  to  be  had  in  flower. 
The  bulbs  arrive  from  France  late  in  August,  and,  like  all  bulbs  grown  in  the 
south  of  France,  they  may  be  had  in  flower  from  November  all  through  the 
winter  months,  if  potted  up  in  September  and  at  intervals  of  every  two 
weeks.  They  are  much  prized  for  pots  or  cutting  on  account  of  their  graceful 
appearance  and  delicate  fragrance.  The  flowers  are  smaller  than  those  of  the 
Dutch  Hyacinth,  and  are  borne  in  great  profusion,  the  larger  bulbs  frequently 
having  three  to  five  graceful  spikes  of  bloom.  They  are  not  hardy  in  our 
northern  climate,  and  should  not  be  planted  outdoors.  The  general  culture 
as  given  for  Freesias,  page  26,  is  suggested.

NEW  GIANT-FLOWERING  CROCUS 

Crocuses,  among  the  earliest  bulbs  to  flower,  are  most  effective  when  planted  in  masses  on  the  lawn,  or  arranged  in  three  or  four  rows 
of  one  color  in  the  border.  They  are  perfectly  hardy,  and  may  be  left  in  the  ground  for  three  or  four  years  after  planting,  without  being 
disturbed.  The  best  method  is  to  scatter  the  bulbs  about  the  lawn  and  use  an  ordinary  garden  dibble  or  “Slim  Jim”  trowel,  inserting 
several  bulbs  in  each  spot.  This  makes  a  very'  pretty  effect  in  early  spring,  and  the  foliage  and  tops  may  be  safely  cut  along  with  the  grass 
when  the  first  mowing  is  made.  They  are  very  ornamental  when  flowered  in  pots  of  eight  to  ten  bulbs  to  a  5-inch  size.  They  will  not 
flower  if  exposed  to  heat,  nor  must  too  severe  forcing  be  attempted.  After  potting  set  bulbs  in  a  cool  cellar  and  water  well.  Leave  them 
about  six  weeks  until  they  are  thoroughly  rooted  and  then  bring  to  the  light  of  the  conservatory  or  sunny  window.  Care  should  be  taken 
to  cover  the  bulbs  about  1  inch,  whether  planted  outdoors  or  in  pots,  as  planting  too  deep  causes  them  not  to  flower. 


Five  New  Giant-Flowering  Varieties 


The  following  five  new  varieties  of  Crocus  are  among  the  best  of  the  newer  introductions.  We  earnestly  suggest  a  trial  of  these. 


Agnes.  Pale  lavender-blue.  An  extremely  popular  variety. 
Grand  Lilas.  Pale  lilac-blue.  Very  dainty  color. 
LTnnocence.  Pure  white.  An  old  favorite  in  many  gardens.

Striped  Queen.  Violet,  striped  white.  Large  blooms,  very 
striking. 


Any  of  the  above  new  varieties,  $1  per  doz.,  $7  per  100,  $65  per  1,000

on  the  outside  of  the  petals.  A  gem  for

GIANT  FREESIAS 

Without  doubt  the  most  sweetly  scented  flower 
grown;  a  single  bloom  permeates  the  living-room  with 
its  delicate  perfume.  Although  they  are  quite  popular 
and  very  easily  raised,  we  would  suggest  the  following 
treatment: 

Procure  the  bulbs  as  early  as  possible,  and  plant 
them  in  successive  batches  from  August  to  October, 
using  from  six  to  twenty-five  bulbs  for  a  single  pan. 

The  soil  should  be  a  mixture  of  loam,  to  which  must 
be  added  leaf-mold  and  sand.  The  bulbs  planted  early, 
say  August  and  September,  may  be  placed  outdoors  in 
a  sheltered  spot  until  cold  weather  sets  in;  of  course 
they  must  be  regularly  watered  and  kept  growing  all 
the  time.  In  October,  before  frosts  appear,  the  pots 
should  be  placed  in  frames,  if  possible,  or  near  the 
window  of  an  unheated  room.  Not  before  November 
must  the  young  plants  be  brought  to  gentle  heat,  and  if 
thus  cared  for  they  will  flower  perfectly  in  January.  The 
foliage  of  the  Freesias  is  very  fine  and  slender  and  must 
be  supported  with  light  stakes  placed  around  the  outer  edge  of  the 
pans.  The  glistening,  pure  white  flowers  are  borne  on  long  stems, 
and  are  very  valuable  for  cutting. 


S.  &  W.  CO.’S  IMPROVED  PURITY 

Through  painstaking  effort  our  grower  of  Freesia  Purity 
has  maintained  such  a  quality  in  our  strain  of  this  very 
desirable  cut-flower  by  careful  selection  as  to  justify  us  in 


offering  it  as  an  improved  strain.  Doz.  100  1,000

Novelty  Freesias 

We  offer  below  two  new  yellow  Freesias  which  we  consider  a 
distinct  advance  over  any  ol  the  existing  yellows  that  are  now  in 
commercial  production  at  this  time. 

GOLDEN  DAFFODIL.  This  variety  may  best  be  described  as  a 
rich  daffodil-yellow  color,  such  as  seen  in  the  popular  variety, 
King  Alfred.  The  flowers  are  large,  well-formed,  and  are  borne  on 
long,  stiff  stems.  $1.75  per  doz.,  $12  per  100. 

GOLDEN  TREASURE.  A  rich,  sunny  yellow,  very  similar  to 
Golden  Daffodil,  except  that  the  outer  part  of  the  flower  is  tinged 
with  lilac,  which,  to  our  mind,  greatly  enhances  its  beauty  when 
seen  under  artificial  light.  The  blooms  are  large,  well  open,  and  are 
borne  on  long,  stiff  stems.  $1.75  per  doz.,  $12  per  100. 

New  and  Rare  Colored  Freesias 

Few,  if  any,  of  the  newer  creations  in  spring-flowering  bulbs  have 
been  improved  by  the  hybridist  as  has  been  the  Freesia.  We  now  have 
a  splendid  range  of  colored  sorts  which  can  be  obtained  at  moderate 
prices  on  account  of  the  supply  having  been  increased  by  propagation. 
Our  bulbs  have  been  produced  for  us  under  contract  by  California’s 
leading  specialist  in  this  lovely  bulbous  plant  for  indoor  growing. 
CALIFORNIA.  A  large  flower  of  bright  golden  yellow;  extra-fine 
strong  grower  and  long  stems.  One  of  the  very  finest  yellow 
Freesias.  $1  per  doz.,  $8  per  100,  $75  per  1,000.

LILY-QF-THE-V ALLEY  PIPS 

For  Greenhouse  Growing.  November  Delivery 

In  judging  the  price  of  our  Lily-of-the-Valley,  please  remember  that  the  best  is  the  cheapest. 
Our  Valley  is  positively  among  the  best.  Is  bought  at  open  prices,  with  instructions  for  a 
selection  of  the  best-developed  pips.  Our  long  experience  and  large  importations  have  com¬ 
manded  this  extra  selection.  For  growing  indoors  these  Pips  are  the  best  that  can  be 
planted.  25  pips  $2.50,  100  pips  $9,  250  pips  $20,  500  pips  $37.50,  1,000  pips  $70. 

LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY  PIPS 

For  Outdoor  Planting.  November  Delivery 

In  the  past,  many  garden  enthusiasts  have  planted  clumps  of  Lily-of-the-Valley  in  sheltered 
locations  in  their  gardens.  On  account  of  the  ruling  of  the  Federal  Horticultural  Boatd,  these 
clumps,  before  leaving  Europe,  must  have  all  soil  removed  from  their  roots.  Our  experience 
for  the  past  two  years  is  that  clumps  received  with  the  soil  removed  are  not  satisfactory  for 
outdoor  planting.  The  best  way  to  get  a  good  Lily-of-the-Valley  bed,  and  the  method  used 
by  professional  gardeners,  is  to  plant  two-year-old  pips  4  inches  apart.  This  method  will 
produce  a  better  bed  than  by  using  clumps.  We  offer  pips  of  smaller  size  than  those  used  for 
growing  Lily-of-the-Valley  indoors  for  this  purpose  and  at  attractive  prices.  Bundles  oi 
10  pips  60  cts.,  25  pips  $1.25,  100  pips  $4,  1,000  pips  $35.

Two  Fine  £ate  June -^Blooming  Jjlies 


LILIUM  CANDIDUM 


(The  Madonna  Lily)' 


One  of  the  oldest  plants  cultivated  in  gardens.  It  is  sculptured 
on  some  of  the  most  ancient  vases  dug  up  in  Crete,  where  a  civiliza¬ 
tion  antedating  that  of  the  most  ancient  Egyptians  flourished 
5000  years  ago  or  more.  It  is  a  symbol  of  purity  and  all  things 
lovely.  The  plants  make  healthy  evergreen  rosettes  of  leaves  in 
the  autumn,  from  which  stout  stems,  clothed  with  short  leaves, 
arise  in  spring,  bearing  spire-like  clusters  of  pure  white,  starry 
Lilies  beautifully  illumined  by  brilliant  yellow  anthers.  They, 
too,  are  deliciously  sweet,  but  are  not  so  overpoweringly  fragrant 
as  some  others,  and  may  be  cut  and  brought  into  the  house  with 
comfort.  It  blooms  in  June,  immediately  before  the  Royal  Lily, 
at  the  same  time  as  Delphinium  Belladonna,  with  which  it  is 
frequently  combined.  As  it  is  base-rooting  only,  it  should  be 
planted  shallow.  It  likes  good,  well-limed  garden  soil  and  a  sunny 
exposure.  The  best  bulbs  are  those  which  we  import  from  northern 
France  and  England.  They  should  be  planted  as  soon  as  received, 
preferably  in  October.  Each  Doz  i00

LILIUM  REGALE 

(The  Royal  Lily) 


A  very  hardy,  easily  grown  variety  from  the  mountains  of 
western  China,  and  one  of  the  most  glorious  of  all.  The  flowers  are 
gigantic,  of  true  Lily  shape,  with  long,  waxen  petals,  recurved  at 
the  tips,  and  lightly  frilled  along  the  edges.  In  effect  it  is  pure  white, 
but  the  center  of  the  flower  is  richly  suffused  with  golden  yellow 
and  the  brilliant  orange-yellow  anthers  are  large  and  showy.  The 
outside  of  the  buds  and  the  three  outer  petals  are  stained  with 
purple-brown,  which  often  gives  a  faint  pinkish  value  to  the  flowers 
seen  in  quantity.  This  is  unequaled  for  magnificent  effect.  Stem- 


rooting;  plant  moderately  deep.

THREE  FINE  SUMMER-BLOOMING  LILIES 


We  have  featured  in  color  what  we  consider  three  of  the  most

HARDY  LILIES 


There  is  a  great  deal  of  confusion  and  misunderstanding  among  otherwise  competent  gardeners  concerning  Lilies.  Since  they  are 
becoming  more  popular  every  year,  and  great  numbers  of  them  are  being  planted,  perhaps  it  is  well  to  make  plain  that  there  are  two 
broad  classes  of  Lilies  with  respect  to  their  roots. 

One  class  forms  roots  at  the  base  of  the  bulb  only;  these  should  be  planted  relatively  shallow,  not  more  than  twice  the  depth  of 
the  bulb  itself.  The  other  class  forms  roots  both  at  the  base  of  the  bulb  and  from  the  stem  above  it;  these  should  be  planted  three 
to  four  times  the  depth  of  the  bulb,  or,  in  most  cases,  6  to  io  inches  deep. 

All  Lilies  like  perfect  drainage.  Most  of  them  prefer  the  light  shade  over  their  new  shoots,  that  is  afforded  by  mulch  and  low- 
growing  plants  or  shrubs,  above  which  they  can  rise  and  display  their  blossoms  to  the  sun.  A  few  of  them  prefer  a  very  moist  situation, 
but  it  must  be  so  arranged  that  all  dampness  drains  immediately  away  from  the  bulb.  This  can  be  managed  by  planting  them  upon 
a  small  heap  of  stones.  All  Bulbs  do  better  if  a  handful  of  sharp  builders'  sand  is  placed  immediately  beneath  the  bulb  to  help  provide 
better  drainage. 

No  Lily  succeeds  in  manured  ground.  They  vary  in  their  preference  for  lime.  Some  are  poisoned  by  it,  others  thrive  in  it,  some 
are  indifferent.  We  shall  endeavor  to  state  all  these  facts  concerning  each  variety  in  the  descriptions  which  follow. 

The  approximate  order  in  which  the  Lilies  described  here  bloom  is  as  follows.  This  order  has  been  determined  by  watching  them 
for  several  seasons.  It  may  vary  somewhat  according  to  whether  the  Lilies  have  a  northern  or  a  southern  exposure,  much  or  little 
shade,  and  according  to  the  vagaries  of  the  different  seasons.  In  average  years  they  bloom  in  about  this  succession. 

June:  Tenuifolium,  Hansoni,  Davuricum,  Elegans,  Martagon,  Chalcedonicum. 

June- July:  Candidum,  Testaceum,  Regale,  Humboldti,  Pardalinum. 

July:  Superbum,  Canadense,  Grayi,  Carolinanum,  Batemanniae,  Krameri,  Philadelphicum,  Rubellum. 

July- August:  Colchicum,  Auratum,  Henryi. 
August  and  later:  Speciosum,  Tigrinum. 


Lilium  Auratum 


The  Golden-banded  Lily  of  Japan 


This  is  the  largest  and,  many  think,  the  most 
gorgeous  of  all.  The  flowers  are  enormous  (often  8 
to  to  inches  across),  bell-shaped,  with  slightly  flar¬ 
ing  and  waved  petals,  each  thickly  dotted  with 
bristly  maroon  spots  and  marked  by  a  showy  bright 
yellow  band  down  the  center.  They  are  intensely 
fragrant  and  come  in  tremendous  clusters  at  the  top 
of  a  strong,  leafy  stem.  Excellent  specimens  may 
reach  a  height  of  6  or  more  feet,  with  more  than  a 
dozen  perfect  blooms  open  at  one  time.  They  bloom 
in  July  and  August,  are  stem-rooting,  and  should 
be  planted  quite  deep.  The  ground  should  be  cov¬ 
ered  with  some  low-growing  plant,  but  the  flowers 
must  be  able  to  rise  above  the  undergrowth  into 
full  sunshine.  These  Lilies  are  most  stately  and 
magnificent,  and  in  the  evening,  particularly  on 
moonlight  nights,  array  themselves  in  an  almost 
unearthly  beauty.  At  night  the  whole  garden  is 
pervaded  with  their  delicious  perfume.

Lilium  candidum 


The  Madonna  Lily 


One  of  the  oldest  plants  cultivated  in  gardens.  It 
is  sculptured  on  some  of  the  most  ancient  vases  dug 
up  in  Crete,  where  a  civilization  antedating  that  of 
the  most  ancient  Egyptians  flourished  5,000  years 
ago  or  more.  It  is  a  symbol  of  purity  and  all  things 
lovely.  The  plants  make  healthy  evergreen  rosettes 
of  leaves  in  the  autumn,  from  which  stout  stems, 
clothed  with  short  leaves,  arise  in  spring,  bearing 
spire-like  clusters  of  pure  white,  starry  Lilies  beau¬ 
tifully  illumined  by  brilliant  yellow  anthers.  They, 
too,  are  deliciously  sweet,  but  are  not  so  overpower- 
ingly  fragrant  as  some  others,  and  may  be  cut  and 
brought  into  the  house  with  comfort.  It  blooms  in 
June,  immediately  before  the  Royal  Lily,  at  the 
same  time  as  Delphinium  Belladonna,  with  which  it 
is  frequently  combined.  As  it  is  base-rooting  only,  it 
should  be  planted  shallow.  It  likes  good,  well- 
limed  garden  soil  and  a  sunny  exposure.  The  best 
bulbs  are  those  which  we  import  from  northern 
France  and  England.  They  should  be  planted  as 
soon  as  received,  preferably  in  October.

Lilium  speciosum  magnificum 


Lilium  regale  (The  Royal  Lily) 

A  very  hardy,  easily  grown  variety  from  the  mountains  of  western 
China,  and  one  of  the  most  glorious  of  all.  The  flowers  are  gigantic,  of 
true  Lily  shape,  with  long,  waxen  petals,  recurved  at  the  tips,  and  lightly 
frilled  along  the  edges.  In  effect  it  is  pure  white,  but  the  center  of  the 
flower  is  richly  suffused  with  golden  yellow  and  the  brilliant  orange-yellow 
anthers  are  large  and  showy.  The  outside  of  the  buds  and  the  three 
outer  petals  are  stained  with  purple-brown,  which  often  gives  a  faint  pink¬ 
ish  value  to  the  flowers  seen  in  quantity.  Unequaled  for  magnificent 


effect.  Stem-rooting;  plant  moderately  deep.  Each  Doz.  100

Lilium  speciosum  magnificum 

This  is  the  finest  of  the  showy  Lilies  and  better  than  either  Rubrum 
or  Melpomene.  In  general,  the  flowers  are  somewhat  like  those  of  L.  au¬ 
ratum,  somewhat  smaller,  with  narrower  and  more  twisted  petals.  The 
main  color  is  white,  clouded,  banded,  and  spotted  with  beautiful  crimson 
and  pink,  giving  the  effect  of  some  rare  orchid.  The  plants  are  strong, 
with  long,  handsome  leaves,  grow  3  to  5  feet  high,  and  bear  great  loose 
sprays  of  magnificent,  delicately  scented  flowers,  in  August  and  Septem¬ 
ber.  This  is  an  easy  Lily  to  grow,  succeeding  in  half  shade  or  sun,  pro¬ 
viding  the  lower  part  of  the  stems  are  sheltered.  As  it  is  stem-rooting, 
it  should  be  planted  deep,  and  seems  to  like  light,  slightly  acid  soil 
best,  although  good  results  may  be  had  in  ordinary  garden  ground.

Lilium  speciosum  album  (The  White  Showy  Lily) 

Slightly  smaller  in  growth  than  Magnificum,  but  bears  its  fragrant, 
frosty  blossoms  in  greatest  profusion.  They  are  snowy  white  with  a  deep 
emerald-green  crease  at  the  base  of  each  petal,  and  showy  yellow  an¬ 
thers.  This  is  a  charming  Lily  and  requires  the  same  sort  of  management

LILY  BULBS  FOR  INDOOR  GROWING 


CALLA  LILIES 


EASTER  LILIES 


These  like  a  stiff,  clayey  soil  with  a  small  quantity  of  shredded 
cow-manure.  Bulbs  should  be  set  with  the  crown,  or  top,  protruding 
just  above  the  surface.  When  in  growing  condition,  warm  water 
given  several  times  during  the  week  will  hasten  the  flowering  period 
and  increase  the  number  of  blooms.  When  using  the  large-sized 
bulbs,  plant  but  one  in  a  pot;  smaller  ones,  two.  We  call  especial 
attention  to  the  Yellow  Calla,  which  is  one  of  the  grandest  varieties 
in  cultivation,  and  most  valuable  for  house  or  conservatory  decora¬ 
tion.  See  the  description  below.  Plant  Callas  indoors  only  in  the 
fall  of  the  year.

AMARYLLIS 

Stumpp  &  Walter  Co.’s  Giant  Hybrids 

Few,  if  any,  of  the  bulbous  plants  give  the  amateur  greater  pleasure 
for  the  window-garden  than  these  giant-flowering  Amaryllis  that  are 
so  easily  managed.  Up  to  a  few  years  ago,  the  finest  varieties  of  these 
were  exhibited  at  our  New  York  Flower  Show  and  were  in  the  hands 
of  just  a  few  fanciers  who  procured  their  bulbs  from  a  famous  English 
collection.  The  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  at  Wash¬ 
ington,  has  been  improving  on  these  strains  for  the  past  fifteen  years, 
and  our  grower  has  been  producing  bulbs  from  a  strain  secured  from 
the  Government.  One  of  the  most  glorious  sights  in  March  is  several 
thousands  of  these  magnificent  pot  plants  in  bloom  in  the  Govern¬ 
ment  greenhouses  at  Washington,  D.  C.  Our  strain  of  bulbs  produces 
vigorous  stems  with  from  four  to  six  blooms  of  the  most  perfect  form, 
ranging  in  color  from  pure  white  grounds  with  varied  markings  of 
rose,  red,  and  crimson,  to  the  richest  self  colors,  such  as  scarlet, 
crimson,  bright  red,  cherry,  and  almost  maroon.  Pot  up  bulbs,  as 
soon  as  received,  in  good  garden  loam,  enriched  with  a  handful  of 
bone  fertilizer;  water  well  and  store  in  a  dark  place  in  a  temperature 
of  50  to  60  degrees  for  four  weeks  until  well  rooted,  then  bring  to 
light.  Put  in  a  sunny  window  and  give  water  regularly.  Bulbs 
potted  up  during  September  and  October  may  be  had  in  bloom  in 
March.  After  they  are  through  blooming,  the  pots  may  be  set  out¬ 
doors,  laying  them  on  the  side  until  the  bulbs  become  dormant. 
They  may  be  repotted  the  following  fall. 

Mixed  colors,  Jumbo  Bulbs,  suitable  for  6-inch  pots,  $1  each, 
$10  per  doz.,  $75  per  100 

ANEMONES  (Windflower) 

These  popular  flowers  of  French  origin  are  useful  as  decorative 
plants  for  house  or  garden,  and  for  cutting.  If  planted  outdoors  in 
the  fall  they  must  be  well  protected;  they  may  also  be  planted  in  the 
spring  in  well-drained  soil,  and  will  flower  during  the  summer. 

His  Excellency.  Large,  bright  red,  semi-double,  showing  a  black 
center  and  suggesting  a  red  poppy.  $1  per  doz.,  $7.50  per  100. 
Excelsior  Mixture.  We  consider  this  the  finest  strain  of  single¬ 
flowering  Anemones  as  yet  raised.  The  plants  are  taller  in  growth 
than  the  St.  Brigid  and  more  single.  They  contain  many  fine 
shades  of  blue,  white,  and  scarlet.  Si  per  doz.,  $7.50  per  100. 

St.  Brigid.  There  is  a  wide  range  of  rich  and  brilliant  colors  in  this 
magnificent  strain.  Si. 50  per  doz.,  $10  per  100. 

CHIQNODOXA  (Glory-of-the-Snow) 

This  is  considered  one  of  the  hardiest,  most  easily  cultivated,  and 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  of  the  early  flowering  bulbous  plants 
for  mass  planting  which  blooms  about  the  same  time  as  the  Crocuses. 
The  flower-spikes  are  about  5  inches  high,  and  bear  ten  to  fifteen 
Scilla-like  blooms.  They  are  especially  suited  for  the  herbaceous 
border,  where  they  should  be  planted  in  clumps  of  20  to  25  bulbs, 
3  to  4  inches  deep,  2  to  3  inches  apart.  In  this  way  the  plants  seed 
and  soon  produce  a  perfect  mass  of  flowering  bulbs. 

Luciliae.  Sky-blue  flowers,  white  in  the  center.  60  cts.  per  doz., 
$4  per  100,  $35  per  1000.

S12  per  100,  $110  per  1000. 

Sardensis.  This  is  earlier  than  the  variety  Luciliae,  and  the  earliest 
deep  blue  flower.  60  cts.  per  doz.,  $4  per  100,  $35  per  1000. 


CAMASSIA 

These  are  perfectly  hardy  bulbous  plants  that  thrive  well  in  any 
situation  and  are  excellent  for  naturalizing.  They  bloom  in  June, 
producing  flower-spikes  2  to  4  feet  high,  bearing  many  star-shaped 
flowers,  measuring  1  yi  to  2  inches  across.  Bulbs  should  be  planted 
4  to  5  inches  deep,  and  in  the  case  of  Esculenta  and  Leichtlini, 
where  mass  effects  are  desired,  4  to  5  inches  apart. 

Cusicki.  This  noble  variety  is  very  suitable  for  the  border,  and 
under  good  cultivation  grows  to  the  height  of  4  feet.  The  tall 
spikes  bear  numerous  pale  lavender,  starry  flowers  with  yellow 
anthers.  $5  per  doz.,  $35  per  100. 

Esculenta.  This  plant,  a  native  of  the  Mississippi  Valley,  grows 
1  Yz  to  2  feet  high,  bearing  spikes  well  filled  with  lovely  purple, 
starry  flowers.  Very  showy  in  mass  planting.  $1  per  doz.,  $6  per 
100,  $50  per  1000. 

Leichtlini.  Similar  to  Esculenta,  but  a  stronger  grower.  Flowers 
are  larger  and  come  in  hues  of  deep  blue  and  creamy  white.  $1.50 
per  doz.,  $10  per  100,  $90  per  1000. 


CYPRIPEDIUM 

Acaule  (Pink  Lady’s-slipper;  Moccasin  Flower).  This  beautiful 
native  plant  is  an  excellent  subject  for  a  damp,  shady  situation, 
woodland  or  shaded  paths,  and  planted  among  ferns.  It  grows 
about  1  foot  high  and  produces  a  large,  showy,  rose-purple  bloom. 
The  flowers  appear  to  best  effect  when  the  plants  are  about  8  inches 
apart,  and  they  should  be  planted  about  3  inches  deep.  Prefers  a 
mulch  of  pine  or  hemlock  needles  until  it  becomes  established. 
$4  per  doz.,  $30  per  100. 

Pubescens.  This  is  the  large  yellow  Lady’s-slipper  or  Moccasin 
Flower.  Its  showy,  fragrant  blooms  are  produced  at  the  top  of  a 
leafy  stem.  These  little  plants  are  very  attractive  planted  in 
colonies  and  are  excellent  for  the  woodland  path  or  among  sheltered 
evergreens.  $4  per  doz.,  $30  per  100. 


DIELYTRA  (Dicentra  spectabilis) 

Bleeding  Heart  or  Seal  Flower 

An  old-fashioned  favorite,  with  long  racemes  of  graceful  heart- 
shaped  pink  flowers  that  are  always  attractive.  It  is  used  largely  for 
forcing,  but  is  also  excellent  for  the  garden  border  and  especially 
valuable  for  planting  in  the  shade.  A  splendid  pot-plant  for  winter 
blooming  in  the  greenhouse  or  conservatory.  Strong  clumps,  75  cts. 
each,  $7.50  per  doz.,  $60  per  100. 


ERANTHIS  HYEMALIS  (Winter  Aconite) 

Early  in  spring  the  golden  blossoms  look  charming,  resting  on  an 
emerald-green  cushion  of  leaves,  and  forming  a  striking  contrast  to 
the  snowdrops,  scillas,  and  chionodoxas.  The  foliage  remains  long 
after  the  flowers,  making  the  plant  especially  valuable  in  moist  situa¬ 
tions,  such  as  under  trees,  which  the  Winter  Aconite  enjoys,  and 
where  few  other  flowering  plants  will  thrive.  Plant  firmly,  2  inches 
deep,  about  15  bulbs  to  the  square  foot.  50  cts.  per  doz.,  S3. 50  per  100, 
$30  per  1000.

EREMURUS 

This  noble  and  rare  bulbous  plant  from  Turkestan  is  one  of  the 
choicest  subjects  for  the  permanent  hardy  border.  It  thrives  best  in  a 
well-drained,  sheltered,  sunny  position,  and  prefers  a  deep  sandy  loam 
to  which  has  been  added  a  liberal  quantity  of  well-rotted  cow  manure. 
A  covering  of  4  to  5  inches  of  leaves  or  litter  will  be  beneficial  and  will 
save  the  young  shoots,  which  start  early,  and  are  liable  to  be  damaged 
by  late  frosts.  It  produces  a  tall,  majestic  flower-stalk,  frequently 
S  to  10  feet  in  height,  which  rises  from  a  crowded  tuft  of  narrow  leaves 
and  is  crowned  by  a  flower-spike  2  to  3  feet  long,  composed  of  closely 
set  bell-shaped  flowers  which  are  quite  star-like  in  effect.  The  colors 
are  tones  of  rose,  yellow,  and  white.  Due  to  the  pyramidal  form  of  the 


flower-spikes  they  are  excellent  for  the  rear  of  the  hardy  border 
where  columnar  effect  is  desired.

ERYTHRONIUM  (Dog’s-tooth  Violet) 

Amerieanum.  This  charming  native  woodland  plant  is  particularly 
suitable  for  the  shady  dell  or  woodland  and  is  fine  for  shaded 
corners  or  the  rock-garden.  It  produces  in  April,  small,  lily-like 
flowers,  which  vary  in  color  through  shades  of  white,  pink,  bright 
yellow,  rose,  and  cream.  The  beauty  of  the  flowers  is  greatly 
enhanced  by  the  richly  mottled  leaves.  They  seem  to  like  a  light, 
rather  moist,  well-drained  soil.  The  bulbs  should  be  planted  about 
5  inches  deep.  Si. 75  per  doz.,  $12  per  100.

These  are  particularly  effective  under  hedges,  under  cedar  trees, 
and  in  thin  woodland.  They  are  the  first  to  open  in  the  spring  and 
are  very  lovely.  As  they  dislike  being  moved,  they  should  be  left 
alone  to  naturalize  themselves.  Plant  2  inches  deep,  mulch  in  winter 
with  straw,  hay,  leaves,  or  well-decayed  manure.

BULBOUS  IRISES  (Spanish  and  Dutch) 

We  are  listing  below  what  we  believe  to  be  the  best  distinct  colors 
in  Spanish  and  Dutch  Irises,  as  well  as  the  hybrid  form,  Wedgwood. 
They  are  excellent  for  growing  under  glass  and  may  be  grown  in  the 
garden  also.  Very  showy  displays  can  be  made  in  the  garden  by 
planting  in  masses  of  distinct  color  or  groupings  of  pastel  shades. 
Their  elegant  flowers,  borne  on  strong,  slender  stems,  in  a  range  of 
colors,  brilliant  and  beautiful,  create  lovely  effects.  When  planted 
outdoors  they  should  be  covered  with  a  heavy  mulch  and  the  bulbs 
planted  in  a  well-drained  border,  about  5  inches  deep.  The  Spanish 
and  Dutch  Iris,  as  well  as  the  English  Iris  offered  on  this  page,  are 
very  valuable  for  cut-flowers.  Few  bulbous  flowers  are  more  deco¬ 
rative  than  the  Bulbous  Irises.

ENGLISH  IRIS  (Bulbous) 

There  is  considerable  difference  in  the  habits  and  time  of  blooming 
of  the  Bulbous  Iris  family.  Owing  to  the  embargo,  English  Irises 
have  become  almost  strangers  to  American  gardens.  They  are  very 
valuable  as  they  prolong  the  blooming  season  of  an  Iris-garden, 
flowering  at  the  beginning  of  July,  just  after  the  German  Irises  have 
finished,  and  before  the  Japanese  begin.  We  suggest  planting  about 
6  inches  deep,  in  September  or  early  October.  During  the  first 
winter  a  heavy  mulch  should  be  applied.  Once  established,  they 
require  very  little  mulching  and  may  be  left  undisturbed  for  years. 
The  bulbs  which  we  offer  are  grown  on  our  Mile-Front  Bulb  Farm  at 
Islip,  Long  Island,  and  the  varieties  offered  are  a  distinct  advance, 
both  as  to  length  of  stem  and  size  of  bloom,  over  the  varieties  offered 
before  the  embargo. 

Bavaria.  White,  with  pale  blue  standards. 

Bleu  Celeste.  Sky-blue. 

Couleur  Cardinal.  Dark  velvety  blue. 

Duke  of  Richmond.  Dark  velvety  purple. 

Grand  Lilas.  Fine,  strong-growing  variety.  Pale  Cambridge  blue, 
blotched  dark  blue.

Two  Popular  Hardy  Perennials  for  Fall  Planting 

We  offer,  below,  two  of  the  most  popular  hardy  perennial  plants  for  fall  planting.  These  are  grown  in  our  own  nurseries  and  all  orders 
placed  at  this  time  will  be  delivered  at  the  proper  planting-time  this  fall. 

HARDY  PHLOX 


Culture. — Hardy  Phlox  may  be  planted  in  spring  or  fall;  a  mulch  of  old  manure  thrown  around  the  roots  will  be  of  benefit  to  the  plants. 
Phlox  should  be  set  out  18  inches  apart,  and  if  kept  well  watered  will  produce  both  individual  blossoms  and  heads  of  bloom  far  larger  than 
otherwise,  and  amply  repay  the  extra  trouble.  To  procure  best  effects,  plants  should  be  massed  in  from  six  to  twelve  clumps  of  each  variety

A  vigorous-growing  variety;  pure  white,  with  a  pale  pink 


HERBACEOUS  PEONIES 

Culture. — The  culture  of  Peonies  is'  quite  simple.  They  require  a  good,  deep,  rich  soil  and  an  abundant  supply  of  water  during  the 
growing  season.  When  enriching  the  ground,  the  use  of  too  much  fresh  manure  near  the  roots  should  be  avoided.  The  main  point  to  observe 
is,  while  the  ground  should  be  well  spaded  and  cultivated,  not  to  plant  the  roots  too  deep.  The  roots  should  be  planted  so  that  the  eyes 
are  barely  covered  (about  1  to  2  inches).  Too  deep  planting  is  the  cause  of  shy  flowering. 

Size  of  Roots. — -The  roots  we  offer  have  been  grown  two  years  from  root  divisions.  If  planted  during  September  and  October  these  roots 
should  become  well  established  and  give  some  flowers  the  following  year. 

Many  of  the  following  varieties  of  Peonies  have  received  a  very  high  rating.  They  are  grown  at  our  own  Farmingdale  Farm,  on  Long 
Island.  Each  variety  offered  has  been  selected  by  us  on  account  of  its  merit.

STUMPP  &  WALTER  CO.’S  SELECTED  BULBS 


GERMAN  IRIS  (. Iris  germanica ) 

In  presenting  to  our  patrons  a  new  revised  list  of  these  Irises,  we  have  endeavored  to  offer  only  the  most  outstanding  varieties  in  dis¬ 
tinctive  and  attractive  color  shades.  These  new  types  are  as  superior  to  the  older  varieties  as  the  modern  canna  is  to  the  original  “Indian 
Shot."  Some,  by  reason  of  scarcity,  are  high  in  price,  hut  all  are  greatly  to  be  desired  and  their  sturdiness  of  growth,  free-flowering  habit,  and 
rich,  brilliant  colors  promise  to  make  them  a  feature  in  every  garden. 


German  Iris 


AFTERGLOW.  A  soft  blending  of  lavender-gray  and  pink,  shading 
to  buff  in  the  falls.  It  is  much  easier,  and  perhaps  more  correct 
to  describe  this  variety  just  as  “beautiful,”  without  attempting 
to  enumerate  the  shades  of  color  that  contribute  to  its  beauty. 

50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

ALCAZAR.  Huge  size,  stately  appearance,  and  a  delightful  fragrance 
are  enough  to  class  this  as  an  outstanding  Iris.  The  standards  are  soft 
violet-orchid,  with  the  falls  rich  crimson-purple,  and  white  throat 
marked  bronze.  A  beard  of  dazzling  orange  and  the  glistening 
silkiness  of  the  entire  flower  caused  this  variety  to  be  classed  by 
tlie  Cornell  Test-Gardens  as  one  of  the  best  ten  varieties.  50  cts. 
each,  $5  per  doz. 

AMBASSADEUR.  Judged  the  most  popular  Iris  in  the  world  by 
vote  of  the  American  Iris  Society.  Its  coloring  is  rich  throughout, 
with  a  charming  variety  of  tints  and  shades  that  makes  description 
difficult.  The  falls  are  rosy  lilac  and  the  standards  rich  reddish 
purple.  Placed  where  the  rays  of  the  sun  shine  through  it,  it  appears 
to  be  rich  ruby-red.  A  strong-growing  variety  and  a  garden  favorite. 

51  each,  Sio  per  doz. 

ASIA.  An  aristocrat  among  Irises.  Tall  and  stately,  often  growing 
well  over  4  feet  in  height.  The  standards  are  pale  silvery  lavender, 
with  golden  base,  with  the  falls  rosy  lavender,  margined  lighter; 
bright  golden  yellow  beard.  A  flower  of  great  elegance,  both 
dainty  and  rich.  Blooms  over  a  long  period  of  time.  Si. 75  each, 
$17.50  per  doz. 

BALLERINE.  This  is  a  favorite  among  the  light  blue  varieties. 
The  large  flowers  are  produced  freely,  and  are  of  dainty  coloring. 
They  appear  quite  late,  are  very  fragrant,  and  are  borne  on  strong, 
4-foot  stems.  Si  each,  Sio  per  doz. 

BRUNO.  Among  the  finest  of  Irises,  this  variety  is  a  leader.  Its 
qualities  are  such  that  it  is  regarded  as  the  parent  of  varieties  of 
the  future.  The  flowers,  which  are  large  and  of  fine  form,  are 
remarkable  for  their  heavy,  plush-like  texture  which  brings  out 
the  beauty  of  the  exquisite  coloring  to  the  highest  degree.  The 
standards  are  of  heliotrope,  flushed  bronze,  with  falls  of  rich 
purple,  shaded  violet,  veined  with  w’hite  in  the  throat.  $5  each, 
S50  per  doz. 

CLUNY.  A  tall-growing  variety  with  standards  of  light  lavender; 
falls  darker  lavender,  shading  to  blue,  with  purple-grown  markings 
as  the  base.  $1  each,  $10  per  doz. 

DOMINION.  A  forerunner  of  a  new  race  of  Irises.  It  is  the  original 
variety  of  the  class  now  known  as  “Dominion  Iris,”  which  is 
characterized  by  the  heavy,  plush-like  texture  of  its  blooms  and 
their  rich,  deep  coloring.  Dominion  is  the  first  and,  by  many,  is 
considered  the  best  of  this  race.  The  standards  are  of  steel-blue 
and  the  falls  deep  rich  indigo-purple.  $7.50  each,  $75  per  doz. 


DREAM.  Soft,  clear,  uniform  pink.  Daintiness  and  charm  find  a 
home  with  this  exquisitely  pretty  Iris.  Truly  one  of  our  most 
attractive  varieties,  and  loved  by  all  Iris  enthusiasts.  50  cts.  each, 
$5  per  doz. 

FAIRY.  One  of  the  few  older  varieties  that  has  stood  the  test  of 
time  and  the  competition  of  the  novelties  offered  today.  With 
some,  its  delicious  orange-blossom  fragrance  cannot  be  duplicated 
by  any  other  variety.  Others  regard  it  as  the  finest  of  white 
varieties.  The  falls  and  standards  are  milk-white,  delicately  pen¬ 
ciled  and  margined  light  blue,  with  a  bright  golden  beard.  30  cts. 
each,  S3  per  doz. 

FRIEDA  MOHR.  A  giant-flowered  pink  variety  that  measures 
up  to  7  inches  across.  The  flower,  in  spite  of  its  huge  size,  is  per¬ 
fectly  formed,  of  good  texture,  and  brilliantly  colored.  In  addition 
to  being  one  of  the  largest-flowered  varieties  in  commerce,  it  is 
very  free  flowering  and  blooms  over  a  long  period  of  time.  Certainly 
an  outstanding  variety.  $5  each,  $50  per  doz. 

GOLD  IMPERIAL.  Deep  chrome-yellow  throughout,  enhanced  by 
a  bright  orange  beard.  A  greatly  admired  variety  and  considered 
one  of  the  finest  of  the  yellow  Irises.  $1.50  each,  $15  per  doz. 

GREVTN.  Height  and  rich  coloring  make  this  an  outstanding  variety 
in  the  garden.  It  is  a  rich  red-purple  throughout  and  a  favorite 
variety.  75  cts.  each,  S7.50  per  doz. 

JACQUELINE  GUILLOT.  Among  the  larger-flowered  varieties, 
this  is  unique  in  color.  The  blooms  are  finely  formed,  silky  in 
texture,  and  of  a  beautiful  bluish  violet  throughout.  A  French 
variety  that  has  found  an  enviable  place  with  American  Iris 
fanciers.  Si. 75  each,  $17.50  per  doz. 

KHEDIVE.  Another  of  the  older  varieties  that  it  has  not  been  easy 
to  replace.  Standards  beautiful  soft  lavender;  falls  white,  veined 
brown.  30  cts.  each,  $3  per  doz. 

LENT  A.  WILLIAMSON.  One  of  the  best  garden  Irises,  and  ranked 
in  1922  as  the  best  Iris  in  the  world.  The  standards  are  of  lavender- 
violet  and  the  falls  royal  purple.  The  fine  form  and  great  sub¬ 
stance  of  the  flowers  make  this  variety  a  prize-winner.  60  cts.  each, 
$6  per  doz. 

LORD  OF  JUNE.  The  older  sorts  cannot  compare  with  this  peer  of 
blue  varieties.  The  blooms  are  huge  in  size,  dwarfing  other  varieties 
in  the  garden,  and  possess  an  enchanting  fragrance.  The  standards 
are  soft  lavender-blue  and  the  falls  rich  violet-blue.  50  cts.  each, 
$5  per  doz. 

MAGNIFICA.  Many  things  contribute  to  the  beauty  of  this  strong¬ 
growing  variety.  The  blooms  are  delightfully  fragrant,  of  heavy 
texture  and  large  size.  The  general  color  is  violet,  in  the  standards 
shaded  blue,  and  in  the  falls  shaded  red.  $1  each,  $10  per  doz. 

MARSH  MARIGOLD.  A  unique  and  variegated  color-scheme 
places  this  in  a  limited  and  very  desirable  class.  Rich  buttercup- 
yellow  is  the  sole  color  of  the  standards;  the  falls  are  brownish  red, 
with  a  heavy  margin  of  the  same  buttercup-yellow.  The  beard,  too, 
is  yellow.  The  contrast  of  colors  is  delightful.  $1  each,  $10  per  doz. 

MEDRANO.  Especially  valuable  because  of  its  low  growth,  being 
but  2  feet  in  height.  The  standards  are  red-copper,  with  a  sug¬ 
gestion  of  violet;  falls  dark  crimson-purple,  flaked  buff  and  laven¬ 
der.  75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 

MME.  CHOBAUT.  A  late-flowering  variety  of  most  unusual  color. 
As  a  whole  it  is  a  pretty  shade  of  yellow.  The  standards  are  ruffled, 
and  overlaying  the  yellow  is  a  flush  of  rosy  bronze;  falls  are  stippled 
and  marked  red,  with  the  throat  veined  the  same  color.  A  rich 
orange  beard  adds  to  its  attractiveness.  75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 

MORNING  SPLENDOUR.  An  American  introduction  of  great 
merit.  The  blooms,  which  are  sweetly  scented,  are  of  deep  rich 
purple.  Very  fine  habit,  form,  and  substance  make  it  an  excellent 
garden  variety.  $1.75  each,  $17.50  per  doz. 

MOTHER  OF  PEARL.  This  variety  is  well  named.  Introduced 
several  years  ago,  it  has  become  a  favorite.  The  iridescent  shades 
of  mother-of-pearl  suffuse  the  entire  bloom,  which  is  of  large  size 
and  perfect  shape.  The  white  throat  is  overlaid  with  gold.  $1  each, 
$10  per  doz. 

OPERA.  The  limited  class  of  violet-red  Irises  was  greatly  enriched 
with  the  introduction  of  Opera.  Silky  blooms  of  rich  violet-red 
are  produced  in  great  profusion  on  2-foot  stems.  The  beard,  too, 
is  of  a  decidedly  reddish  tone.  75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 

PALLIDA,  ALBERT  VICTOR.  Another  of  the  older  varieties  that 
it  has  been  hard  to  duplicate.  Standards  soft  blue;  falls  beautiful 
lavender.  30  cts.  each,  $3  per  doz.

STUMPP  &  WALTER  CO.,  30  and  32  Barclay  St.,  New  York 


GERMAN  IRIS,  continued 


PERFECTION.  Standards  light  blue;  falls  dark  violet.  A  very 
free-flowering  variety  and  an  excellent  one  for  the  garden.  40  cts. 
each,  S4  per  doz. 

PRINCESS  BEATRICE.  Pure,  soft,  lustrous  lavender.  Blooms  of 
large  size  and  fine  shape.  An  outstanding  variety  in  its  color,  and 
rated  as  one  of  the  most  perfect  of  Irises.  $1  each,  $10  per  doz. 

PRINCESS  VICTORIA  LOUISE.  The  combination  of  colors  found 
in  this  variety  has  kept  it  in  the  front  rank.  The  standards  are 
sulphur-yellow  and  the  falls  rich  plum,  bordered  cream.  30  cts. 
each,  $3  per  doz. 

PROSPER  LAUGIER.  One  of  the  finest  varieties  in  which  bronze 
predominates,  and  rated  by  many  as  the  best  in  existence.  The 
standards  are  a  glistening  fiery  bronze,  and  the  falls  rich  ruby-red 
with  a  velvety  sheen.  The  throat  is  white,  netted  with  old-gold. 
A  glistening  orange  beard  still  further  adds  to  its  attractiveness. 
50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

QUAKER  LADY.  One  more  of  the  older  varieties  that  we  have 
retained  because  of  its  unquestioned  merit.  Vigorous  in  growth  and 
beautiful  in  color.  The  standards  are  smoky  lavender  and  the  falls  of 
the  same  shade  overlaid  with  gold.  35  cts.  each,  S3. 50  per  doz. 

QUEEN  ALEXANDRA.  Standards  fawn,  shot  with  lilac;  falls 
bronze  with  yellow  beard.  30  cts.  each,  S3  per  doz. 

QUEEN  CATERINA.  The  most  striking  pcrint  about  this  variety 
is  the  contrast  between  the  pale  lavender-violet  of  the  standards 
and  falls  and  the  brilliant  orange  beard.  Under  certain  conditions 
of  light  it  appears  toned  with  pink.  A  delightful  fragrance  is 
another  point  in  its  favor.  50  cts.  each,  SS  per  doz. 

RAFFET.  A  variety  combining  several  shades  of  violet  in  a  most 
attractive  fashion.  The  standards  are  intense  violet-blue  and  the 
falls  darker  violet,  marked  white.  50  cts.  each,  S5  per  doz. 

RHEIN  NIXE.  A  very  old  variety  that  more  than  holds  its  own 
with  recent  novelties.  The  standards  are  snow-white  and  the  falls 
rich  pansy-violet,  with  a  margin  of  white.  It  is  of  high  rating  and 
almost  perfect  in  form  and  substance.  35  cts.  each,  $3.50  per  doz. 

SEMINOLE.  In  the  limited  class  of  crimson  Irises,  this  is  king.  No 
other  Iris  has  yet  been  introduced  to  equal  it  in  brilliancy  of  color. 
It  is  a  bright  velvety  red-purple  throughout,  with  a  striking  orange 
beard.  50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 


SHEKINAH.  Considered  to  be  the  best  allround  yellow  obtainable. 
The  standards  are  slightly  ruffled  and  of  clear  soft  yellow;  falls  are 
of  the  same  color,  with  a  fine  golden  beard.  Perhaps  not  as  large 
as  some  others,  but  by  far  -the  most  attractive  for  the  garden. 
50  cts.  each,  $3  per  doz. 

SHERWIN  WRIGHT.  Fine  deep  yellow  throughout.  Perfectly 
hardy  and  excellent  for  landscape  work.  35  cts.  each,  S3. 50  per  doz. 

SOUV.  DE  MME.  GAUDICHAU.  To  France  we  owe  this  peer  of 
all  purple  Irises.  It  is  superior  to  any  other  variety  in  this  color 
class,  being  larger,  darker  and  of  higher  rating.  The  standards  are 
dark  purple  and  the  falls  are  even  a  shade  darker,  with  blackish 
sheen.  Even  the  beard  is  of  the  same  color.  In  addition,  it  possesses 
a  delightful  fragrance.  Si  each,  Sio  per  doz. 

SUSAN  BLISS.  Here,  almost  at  the  end  of  our  list,  we  place  the 
finest  pink  Iris.  Welcomed  with  enthusiasm  by  Iris-lovers,  it  has 
well  deserved  their  praise.  Orchid-pink  blooms  of  perfect  form 
proudly  surmount  tall,  strong  stems.  Si. 50  each,  S15  per  doz. 

WHITE  KNIGHT.  Though  the  stems  are  but  2  feet  tall,  the  blooms 
they  bear  place  it  among  the  leaders.  Flowering  late,  it  produces 
waxy  white  flowers  of  heavy  texture  and  fine  form.  It  resists 
unfavorable  weather  far  better  than  most  Irises.  50  cts.  each, 
Ss  per  doz. 


SIBERIAN  IRIS 

The  Siberian  Irises  are  much  like  the  Dutch  Bulbous  Irises  in 
form  of  flower  and  time  of  bloom.  Their  foliage,  however,  is  long  and 
grass-like.  They  do  well  when  planted  in  connection  with  the  German 
varieties  and  are  splendid  for  cut-flowers. 

EMPEROR.  A  fine  dark-flowering  variety.  The  blooms  are  large 
and  the  texture  fine.  A  uniform  deep  violet-blue  throughout. 
75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 

PERRY’S  BLUE.  Decidedly  the  most  popular  of  the  Siberian 
Irises,  and  probably  the  best.  In  color  it  is  a  beautiful  shade  of 
sky-blue,  with  the  falls  slightly  marked  white.  75  cts.  each,  $7.50 
per  doz. 


JAPANESE  IRIS 

The  Japanese  Irises  flower  after  the  German,  and  extend  the  blooming  season  for  several  weeks.  Their  large,  flat,  saucer-like  flowers  do 
not  have  the  variety  of  colors  found  in  the  German,  but  the  richness  and  charm  of  the  colors  that  do  exist  endear  them  to  all  who  see  them. 


AZURE.  A  well-named  variety  of  deep  azure-blue.  The  huge, 
double  flowers,  with  wavy  petals,  are  of  one  color  throughout, 
except  for  a  yellow  blotch  at  the  base.  60  cts.  each,  $6  per  doz. 

CHOSEIDAN.  Double-flowered  type  of  ruby-crimson.  There  are 
small  yellow  blotches  surrounded  by  white  halos  which  radiate  in 
broad  lines.  50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

GOLD  BOUND.  For  all  general  purposes  the  best  white  variety. 
Not  as  large  as  White  Giant  but  a  strong-growing  kind  and  one  of 
the  best.  50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

KAMATA.  Deep  blue,  veined  with  white.  A  single-flowered  variety 
and  quite  distinct.  50  cts.  each,  $3  per  doz. 

MAHOGANY.  A  very  attractive  shade  of  red,  shaded  maroon. 
The  flowers  are  not  as  large  as  some  other  varieties,  but  the  unusual 
color  of  this  double-flowered  form  makes  it  a  favorite.  60  cts. 
each,  $6  per  doz. 

MRS.  GEORGE  STUMPP.  Pure  white,  except  for  a  cast  of  blue. 
A  single-flowered  type.  50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

PAINTED  LADY!  Single.  White,  center  blotched  light  phlox- 
purple.  The  tufts  are  also  white,  edged  with  the  same  phlox- 
purple  shade.  50  cts.  each,  $5  per  doz. 

PYRAMID.  A  tall-growing  variety.  Dark  violet-purple  in  color, 
with  a  bright  yellow  blotch.  A  double-flowered  form  of  large  size. 
75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz. 

RED  RIDING  HOOD.  Single.  Fine  amaranth,  veined  and  suffused 
white.  60  cts.  each,  $6  per  doz. 

ROSE-ANNA.  Ivory-white,  with  heavy  ruby-red  veins,  and  con¬ 
spicuous  yellow  blotch;  stigmas  dark  plum.  A  double-flowered 
type.  60  cts.  each,  $6  per  doz. 

TEMPLETON.  A  double  type  of  light  violet  color,  mottled  reddish 
pink  and  white.  50  cts.  each.  $3  per  doz. 

VIOLET  BEAUTY.  Deep  violet.  An  outstanding  variety.  The 
flowers  are  single  in  form  but  very  large  and  very  attractive. 
75  cts.  each,  $7.30  per  doz. 


Two  Fine  New  Varieties 

VIOLET  GIANT.  Rich  violet,  shading  to  rose.  Flower  of  gigantic 
size,  semi-double.  A  wonderful  grower,  distinct  in  color  from  any 
existing  varieties.  The  flowers  frequently  measure  27  inches  in 
circumference.  $3  each,  $50  per  doz. 

WHITE  GIANT.  The  finest  white  Japanese  Iris  in  existence,  sur¬ 
passing  the  new  Betty  F.  Holmes  and  the  older  Gold  Bound  which, 
heretofore,  have  been  considered  the  leaders.  A  strong,  vigorous 
grower,  pure  white,  with  yellow  markings  on  the  standards.  In 
size  it  is  equal  to  Violet  Giant  and  is  a  fitting  companion  variety. 
$5  each,  $50  per  doz.

OW  ABOUT  YOUR  LAWN  ? 


25-Pound  versus  14-Pound  LAWN  SEED 


Many  low-priced  Grass  Seed  mixtures  weigh  only  14  pounds  per  bushel.  This  indicates  either  the  presence  of  chafl 
or  some  of  the  really  good  varieties  in  the  rough  state,  not  properly  cleansed  so  as  to  leave  only  the  vital  part  and 
less  of  the  chaff  or  shell — in  other  words,  so  many  less  seeds  to  the  quart  or  pound  that  will  germinate  and  grow 
real  grass. 

Why  Not  Buy  the  Recleaned  Kind 

A  formula  of  grasses  (including  Bent  Grasses)  weighing  over  25  pounds  per  bushel,  of  high  germination  and  purity, 
permanent  in  nature,  the  varieties  carefully  proportioned  so  that  they  will  succeed  one  another  in  brightness  of 
foliage,  with  the  result  that  the  lawn,  even  in  its  first  year,  will  have  a  bright,  rich  green  color  from  early  spring 
until  covered  by  snow.  Staigreen  consists  of  the  purest  and  choicest  varieties  of  grasses,  regardless  of  high  money 
value.  Certain  varieties  are  scarcer  in  some  seasons  than  others,  but  the  formula  from  which  Staigreen  is  compounded 
does  not  change  with  the  years:  it  is  always  the  same  and  always  the  best.

For  new  lawns  or  renovating,  August  1  5  to  October  1  is  the  best  period  of  the  year  for  sowing  grass  seed. 
The  grass  will  root  deeper  and  you  will  not  have  strong  weed-growth  to  contend  with  as  in  spring  seeding.

Quantity  of  Mixed  Seeds  to  Sow 

For  Golf.  Average  putting-green,  50  pounds;  fairway,  200  pounds 
per  acre. 

For  Lawns.  Conditions  generally  less  exacting  and  a  smaller 
quantity  ordinarily  will  suffice.  Use  1  pound  per  400  square  feet 
(20  x  20  ft.)  or  100  pounds  per  acre.  Double  quantity  for  quick 
results.  Lawns  sown  in  early  fall  will  produce  a  turf  that  will 
better  withstand  summer  drought. 

Use  one-half  above  quantities  for  renovating  existing  turf.

GRAIN  HARD,  LARGE,  DARK  [J  O  JT I  tjlllli-.  Y  Y  SOW  1V2  TO  2  BUSHELS  PER  ACRE 

A  variety  of  Wheat  which  originated  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley.  Leap’s  Prolific  need  not  be  seeded  as  heavily  as  most  other 
Wheats.  It  stools  out  strongly  and  roots  deeply,  each  grain  producing  a  great  bunch  of  stalks.  A  large,  dark  red,  hard  Wheat 
which,  while  being  a  heavy  yielder,  is  not  weak  in  color  or  soft.  The  heads  are  large,  the  chaff  of  a  beautiful  white  and  without 
beards.  The  glumes  are  close  together  on  the  head  and  so  well  closed  that  the  Wheat  does  not  shatter  badly  in  handling.  The 
straw  is  of  medium  length,  is  thick  walled,  and  holds  up  a  crop  of  40  bushels  per  acre  finely.  The  new  crop  which  has  just  been 
harvested  under  our  own  supervision,  is  of  very  high  quality  and  averaged  35  bushels  per  acre.  We  can  confidently  recommend 
this  as  one  of  the  best  Winter  Wheats  we  know  of.  Pk.  $1.50,  y2bus.  $2.25,  bus.  $4.25;  10-bus.  lots,  $3.75  per  bus.

Lancaster  Fulcaster  Wheat  BE^DEB™S™M  BUS- 


Lancaster  Fulcaster  is  rightly  one  of  the  most  popular  bearded  Wheats.  It  is  a  variety  that  under  care  and  supervision  was  im¬ 
proved  by  years  of  selection  from  the  old  “Fulcaster.”  It  is  one  of  the  purest  Wheats  now  being  offered.  “Lancaster  Fulcaster”  is  a 
reliable  yielder  year  after  year.  In  years  when  all  conditions  are  against  successful  crops  this  variety  proves  its  reliability  by  making 
good  average  yields  in  spite  of  adverse  conditions.  Pk.  $1.50,  y2bus.  $2.25,  bus.  $4.25;  10-bus.  lots,  $3.75  per  bus. 


Certified  Rosen  Rye 

One  of  the  greatest  achievements  in  the  science  of  breeding  and  selecting  varieties  of  grain.  Introduced  in  1912  to  the  farmers  of 
the  state  by  the  Michigan  Experiment  Station.  A  great  yielding  variety.  Rosen  occupies  about  three-fourths  of  Michigan’s  550,000 
acres  of  Rye.  Now  growing  and  giving  excellent  success  in  a  great  many  parts  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  Rosen  has  the  “big 
head”;  its  “big  head”  is  “full.”  It  is  a  vigorous  growing  plant  and  does  well  on  all  soils. 

Certified  Seed  (seed  that  must  pass  a  rigid  test  in  the  field  and  after  harvesting),  pk.  $1.65,  bus.  $5,  10  bus.  $45. 

Choice  Rosen  Rye,  pure  seed  stock,  but  not  passing  the  exacting  requirements  of  certified  seed.  Pk.  $1.35,  bus.  $3.25,  10  bus.  $31, 
100  bus.  $290. 


Mammoth  White  Winter  Rye 

The  heads  average  6  to  8  inches  in  length  and  are  filled  from  end  to  end  with  large,  plump,  heavy  grains.  The  straw  is  giant  in 
length  and  strength  and  of  extraordinary  stiffness,  resisting  severe  wind-  and  rain-storms  to  a  remarkable  degree  without  lodging. 
Of  special  value  for  cover  crop  for  plowing  under.  Pk.  $1.25,  bus.  $3,  10  bus.  $25,  100  bus.  $225. 


IMPROVE  YOUR  SOIL.  Do  not  allow  even  the  smallest  area  of  land  to  remain  idle  over  the  winter.  A  plow-in  crop 
of  Rye,  Wheat,  Vetch  or  Crimson  Clover  adds  humus  to  the  soil,  retains  plant-food,  holds  moisture  and  is  a  valuable  substi¬ 
tute  for  animal  manures.  Sow  this  fall;  plow  shortly  before  spring  planting.

and  are  subject  to  market  changes 


Finest  Recleaned  Seeds.  Newest  Crop. 
Remachined  Specially  for  Elimination  of  Weed  Seeds 


CRIMSON  CLOVER  ( Trifolium  incarnatum ) 

Splendid  and  Economical  Cover-Crop  for  Using  Green 
or  Plowing  Under 

Used  principally  for  soiling  or  green  manuring.  If  desired  for  feed, 
cut  it  just  before  it  flowers;  when  desired  for  green  manure  or  soil¬ 
ing,  it  should  be  left  until  mature  before  plowing  under.  Sow  Crim¬ 
son  Clover  in  September  and  October  or  at  the  last  working  of  such 
crops  as  corn,  beans,  melons,  cucumbers,  tomatoes,  etc.,  at  the  rate 
of  20  pounds  to  the  acre.  Lb.  35  cts.,  10  lbs.  $3,  100  lbs.  $22.50. 

RECLEANED  ALFALFA  Now 

Sow  30  to  35  pounds  per  acre  if  broadcast,  or  25  to  30  pounds,  if 
drilled  in,  in  May,  or  during  August  and  early  September,  or  most 
any  season  when  weather  conditions  are  favorable;  top-dress  it  with 
manure  every  fall,  and  it  will  rarely  winter-kill.  It  can  be  cut  usually 
three  times  in  one  season.  The  great  secret  in  getting  a  successful 
stand  of  Alfalfa  lies  in  the  preparation  of  the  ground;  it  will  pay 
everyone  who  wants  to  grow  this  valuable  farm  crop  to  give  the 
ground  preparation  most  intelligent  thought.  It  must  be  borne  in 
mind  that  an  Alfalfa  field  properly  started  will  yield  successfully  a 
score  of  vears.  Northern -grown  seed.  Lb.  50  cts.,  10  lbs.  $4.50, 
100  lbs.  $35. 

GRIMM  ALFALFA 

The  Grimm  Alfalfa  is  much  hardier  than  the  ordinary  kinds  ob¬ 
tained  from  Kansas.  Utah,  and  elsewhere,  and  there  is  even  strong 
reason  to  believe  that  it  is  the  hardiest  known  form  of  the  cultivated 
plant.  It  not  only  endures  extremely  low  temperatures  with  or  with¬ 
out  snow  and  other  adverse  conditions,  but  it  can  be  cut  with  greater 
safety  late  in  the  fall  and  will  bear  more  abuse  in  the  way  of  pasturage 
than  any  other  plant  that  has  been  compared  with  it  until  this  time. 
There  is  some  disagreement  among  investigators  as  to  how  Grimm 
Alfalfa  obtained  its  hardiness,  but  there  is  no  difference  of  opinion 
that  it  is  hardy.  Lb.  80  cts.,  10  lbs.  $7.50,  100  lbs.  $65. 


VARIOUS  CLOVERS 

Alsike  or  Swedish  ( Trifolium  hybridum) .  Hardiest  of  all  Clovers, 
and  on  rich,  moist  soil  yields  an  enormous  quantity  of  hay  or  pas¬ 
ture.  Lasts  many  years.  Sow  10  lbs.  per  acre  when  used  alone. 
Lb.  55  cts.,  10  lbs!  $4.50,  100  lbs.  $40. 

Red  Clover,  Medium  ( Trifolium  pratense).  Medium  Clover.  The 
leading  variety  of  Clover  for  pastures  or  meadows.  Finest  quality. 
Sow  20  pounds  per  acre  alone,  or  15  pounds  where  other  grass 
or  hay  crops  are  standing.  Hardy  American-grown  seed.  Lb. 
60  cts.,  10  lbs.  $5,  100  lbs.  $40. 

White  Dutch  Clover  ( Trifolium  repens).  The  best  variety  for 
lawns,  as  it  forms  a  close  herbage  and  remains  green  throughout  the 
season.  Lb.  65  cts.,  10  lbs.  $6,  100  lbs.  $50. 

WINTER  VETCH  (Vida  viliosa) 

True  Sand  or  Hairy  Vetch 

Extensively  used  as  a  soil-renovator  or  for  dry  or  green  feed  in  the 
early  spring.  It  may  be  sown  alone  or  with  winter  rye  or  oats;  is 
perfectly  hardy,  thriving  in  every  climate,  under  most  adverse  con¬ 
ditions.  Is  very  nutritious  and  live-stock  relish  it.  When  sown  with 
rye,  etc.,  it  will  attain  a  height  of  4  to  5  feet;  it  requires  one-half  bushel 
to  sow  an  acre,  or  one  bushel  if  sown  alone.  Sow  as  early  as  possible 
in  the  fall  or  summer  and  get  a  good  growth  before  cold  weather 
sets  in.  60  lbs.  per  bushel.  Lb.  35  cts.,  10  lbs.  $2.75,  100  lbs.  $20. 

DWARF  ESSEX  RAPE 

Valuable  as  a  fattening  food  for  pasturing  sheep  in  autumn.  It  is 
particularly  adapted  as  a  “catch  crop.”  Sow  10  to  12  lbs.  to  an  acre 
broadcast;  4  to  5  lbs.  in  drills.  Lb.  25c.,  10  lbs.  $1.75,  100  lbs.  $12.50. 


Grass  for  Hay  or  Permanent  Pasture 


Timothy,  Red-Top,  and  Red  Clover  have  long  formed  the  standard 
hay  and  pasture  mixture  for  use  on  the  American  farm.-  It  is  not  an 
ideal  combination,  but  is  inexpensive  and  we  offer  it  under  the  head¬ 
ing  of  Timothy-Red-Top-Clover  Formula.  Where  large  yield 
and  high  quality  are  looked  for,  we  recommend  that  a  much  wider 
variety  than  this  be  sown,  using  in  addition  to  the  above  such  types 
as  Orchard  Grass,  Meadow  Foxtail,  Sheep’s  Fescue,  Rhode  Island 
Bent,  Fiorin  or  German  Bent,  Cocoos  Bent,  Sweet-scented  Vernal, 
Meadow  Fescue,  the  Rye  Grasses,  the  Blue  Grasses,  Oat  Grass, 
Red,  Mammoth,  White,  Wild  White  and  Alsike  Clovers;  each  of 
these  is  suited  especially  to  certain  kinds  of  soil  and  climatic  condi¬ 
tions;  some  do  well  on  high  ground,  others  prefer  plenty  of  moisture. 
It  is  necessary  that  these  be  selected  in  proper  proportions,  suitable 
to  the  soil  conditions  and  for  the  purpose  required. 

CLOVER  AND  GRASS  FORMULA.  For  high  quality  hay  or 
pasture.  Includes  a  wide  range  of  both  grasses  and  clovers.  Use

times  its  own  weight  of  moisture,  thus  releasing  the  plant-nourishing 
substances  which  the  Plantnurse  Pot  contains,  feeding  the  young 
plant  in  a  most  practical  and  easy  manner.  It  gives  the  plant  strength 
and  protects  the  young  roots.  In  a  few  weeks  the  roots  will  have 
grown  through  the  Plantnurse  Pot  and  a  short  time  later  you  will 
find  that  the  roots  and  the  pot  are  one  solid  ball,  ready  to  plant  out 
without  any  checking  of  growth. 

The  Plantnurse  Pot  is  made  from  peat-moss  and  manure,  and  is 
not  only  a  pot,  but  a  manure  for  the  young  plant.

The  S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Irrigating  Hanging-Baskets 

The  S.  &  W.  Co.'s  Irrigating  Basket  is  a  strongly  made,  watertight,  galvanized 
square  steel  box,  attractively  finished  with  a  baked-on  enamel  in  dark  green.  Us  neat 
design  harmonizes  with  any  surrounding.  The  top  edges  have  a  pleasing  roll  finish  and 
the  boxes  are  made  entirely  suitable  for  all  locations.  Four  chains  are  furnished  with 
which  the  basket  may  be  suspended  anywhere — indoors  or  out. 

There  is  a  water-pocket  at  the  bottom,  and,  leading  from  it  into  the  box,  are  tubes 
to  convey  water  to  the  soil.  Watering  is  made  easy,  the  air  circulation  is  perfect,  and 
the  soil  is  kept  sweet  and  healthy.  What  is  more  important,  the  plants  get  the  water  at 
the  roots,  right  where  it  does  the  most  good.

The  S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Irrigating  Hanging-Basket 

FOR  BULBS.  The  S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Irrigating  Hang¬ 
ing-Baskets  and  Boxes  are,  without  question,  the  most 
satisfactory  device  for  growing  bulbs  ever  devised.  A 
beautiful  and  certain  growth,  with  a  minimum  of  care. 

FOR  FERNS.  Nearly  every  home-lover  is  a 
lover  of  ferns,  but  few  succeed  with  them.  They 
never  fail  in  S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Irrigating  Flower-Boxes, 
or  Hanging- Baskets. 


The  S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Irrigating  Flower-Boxes 

You  can  put 
the  S.  &  W.  Co.'s 
Flower-Boxes 
anywhere  —  on 
the  piazza  rail, 
at  the  edge  of  the 
piazza  floor,  the 
window-sill,  and 
in  many  other 
places  on  the  out¬ 
side  or  inside  of 
your  home.  They 

are  easy  to  put  up  and  take  down — a  screw  driver  is  the  only  tool  you  need.  Brackets 
may  be  had  for  fastening  the  boxes  in  different  positions.  You  can  be  absolutely  certain 
that  they  will  not  drip.  When  cold  weather  comes,  take  the  boxes  and  plants  inside 
and  have  the  all-winter  cheer  of  growing  flowers.

Glazing  Materials 

Permanite  is  a  glazing  compound  composed  of  asbestos  fiber  and 
special  long-life,  weather-resisting,  non-drying  oils,  which  always 
keep  it  in  an  elastic  condition  and  never  allow  it  to  harden.  Little 
needs  to  be  said  about  the  addition  of  asbestos  as  the  advantage  of 
using  this  material — its  indestructibility  and  ability  to  resist  heat 
and  cold  are  too  well  known.  1  gal.  $2.50,  5  gals.  $2.40  per  gal., 
15  gals.  $2.25  per  gal.,  35  gals.  $2.10  per  gal.,  60  gals.  $2  per  gal.

S.  &  W.  Co.’s  Super  Auto-Spray 

For  the  effective  spraying  of  vegetable  and 
flower  plants,  vines,  shrubbery  and  low  trees. 

Can  also  be  used  for  spraying  all-round  dis¬ 
infectants  in  the  stable,  poultry  house, 
kennel,  etc. 

The  Super  Auto-Spray  is  made  of  extra¬ 
heavy  metal  to  hold  up  under  a  pressure  of 
90  pounds;  the  pump  is  of  small  bore,  so  that 
this  pressure  can  be  pumped  with  little 
exertion.  It  is  double  riveted  and  specially 
soldered  and  tested  carefully.  The  large 
capacity,  extra-high  pressure,  extra  strength 
and  beautiful  appearance  make  it  a  super 
auto-spray. 

Tank  made  of  corrugated  gal¬ 
vanized  steel  or  brass.  High-grade 
hose.  Castings  for  handle,  etc.,  all 
malleable.  No  continuous  pumping

Sprayer,  nor  continuous  pumping 
or  slopping  as  in  the  case  of  the

For  controlling  Argentine  and  species  of 
house  ants  commonly  known  as  “honey- 
dew  loving  ants.” 

Antrol  containers  offer  you  three  distinct  ad¬ 
vantages  over  ordinary  methods.  First,  Antrol 
is  safe  to  use  around  children  or  pets;  second, 
this  modem  system  kills  the  queen  ant  and  thus 
destroys  the  entire  ant  colony;  and  third,  the 
Antrol  method  is  in  accordance  with  the  methods 
adopted  by  the  U.  S.  Government. 

Ants  immediately  smell  the  Antrol  Syrup  in 
the  jars  and  eat  it  as  food.  They  climb  into  the 
jars  through  the  open¬ 
ings  provided  for  that 
purpose  in  the  top  of 
the  containers,  and  down 
the  tiny  bits  of  excelsior 
which  operate  as  “ladders”  into  the  syrup.  The  ants  then  carry  this 
syrup,  which  is  mildly  poisonous,  back  to  the  ant  nest,  and  in  this 
way  transmit  it  to  the  queen  ants  and  their  entire  colony.  Soon  the 
entire  ant  colony  is  destroyed  and  your  home  is  free  from  the  rav¬ 
ages  of  these  annoying  pests.

FERTILIZERS,  MANURES,  SOIL  INGREDIENTS 

When  cash  accompanies  your  order  for  fertilizers  listed  below,  in  lots  of  100  pounds  or  over,  we  prepay  freight  to  your  station  if 

within  100  miles  of  New  York,  except  where  otherwise  noted 

There  arc  two  secrets  of  soil  fertility:  The  soil  must  be  correct  mechanically  and  right  chemically.  Correct  mechanically 
means  that  it  should  possess  the  proper  framework — enough  clay  to  form  a  ‘body,’  sufficient  grit  to  allow  moisture  to  seep  downward 
during  rainy  weather  and  to  encourage  it  to  work  upward  during  dry  weather  by  capillary  action,  and  some  remains  of  dead  plants 
or  humus  to  act  as  a  sponge  to  hold  moisture  ready  for  the  plant-roots  to  absorb  it.  Right  chemically  means  that  the  soil  contains  the 
proper  plant-foods  in  a  condition  easy  for  the  plant  to  feed  upon  and  in  sufficient  quantity  to  afford  uninterrupted  growth.  You  can 
make  almost  any  soil  mechanically  correct  and  chemically  right  by  the  proper  use  of  some  of  the  materials  listed  on  this  and  the 
following  page. 


Sawco  Special  Colloidal  and  Bone  Base  Fertilizers 


Bone  Fertilizer 


SAWCO 

SmeralcL 
Grass 
Fertilizer 


Mixed  Fine  and  Coarse.  (For 
general  use.)  This  grade  is 
recommended  for  the  garden 
and  for  lawns.  It  is  quick  to 
give  results,  yet  the  benefits 
'==s  are  lasting.  The  standard  food 
for  roses;  much  used  on  hay  and  pasture  fields.  Use  1,500 
pounds  per  acre  or  5  ounces  to  the  square  yard,  dug  or  raked 
into  the  soil;  use  one-half  this  rate  when  top-dressing  grass. 
5  lbs.  50  cts.,  10  lbs.  90  cts.,  25  lbs.  $1.75,  50  lbs.  $3,  100  lbs.  $5, 
500  lbs.  $19,  ton  $65. 

For  lawns  and  golf  putting- 
greens.  A  well-balanced  formula, 
designed  to  feed  only  the  finer 
grasses  and  to  keep  them  in  a 
healthy  condition.  When  build¬ 
ing  a  lawn,  from  Jd  ton  to  1  ton 
per  acre  (3  to  6  ounces  to  the 
square  yard)  should  be  harrowed 
or  raked  into  the  upper  surface. 
Every  spring  and  early  autumn 
existing  lawns  may  be  given  a 
dressing  of  500  to  1,000  pounds  per  acre  (1  Id  to  3  ounces  to  the 
square  yard);  when  applied  as  a  top-dressing  to  turf,  it  is  best 
to  mix  the  Emerald  Grass  Fertilizer  with  four  times  its  bulk  of 
fine  soil  or  sand  before  broadcasting.  5  lbs.  50  cts.,  10  lbs.  90  cts., 
25  lbs.  $1.75.  50  lbs.  $3-25,  100  lbs.  $5.50,  500  lbs.  $22,  ton  $75. 

For  vegetables,  flowers,  and 
fruit.  Recommended  strongly 
as  the  best  for  all-round  work  in 
the  garden.  Use  it  at  the  rate  of 
1,000  pounds  to  the  acre,  or 
3  ounces  to  the  square  yard 
when  preparing  land  for  plant¬ 
ing  in  the  spring.  Good  practice,  too,  is  to  spread  General  Garden 
Fertilizer  between  the  rows  of  plants  when  they  are  growing  and 
then  to  hoe  it  into  the  soil;  use  about  3  pounds  per  100  running 
feet  for  this,  repeating  every  month.  When  planting  beans, 
cucumbers,  etc.,  in  hills,  a  handful  worked  into  the  soil  under  the 
hill  will  be  a  great  help,  and  the  same  thing  may  be  done  when 
planting  tomatoes,  cabbages,  peppers,  dahlias,  peonies,  etc.  The 
soil  immediately  around  roses  may  be  whitened  with  General 
Garden  Fertilizer  and  then  raked.  Before  sowing  seeds  in  rows  a 
little  General  Garden  Fertilizer  may  be  placed  in  the  drill  and 
the  soil  stirred  to  mix  it  thoroughly.  5  lbs.  50  cts.,  10  lbs.  90  cts., 
25  lbs.  Si. 75,  50  lbs.  $3.25,  100  lbs.  $5.50,  500  lbs.  §22,  ton  $75. 

A  pure,  natural,  nutritious, 
pulverized  manure  that  is  im¬ 
mediate  and  lasting  in  effect 
and  excellent  for  mixing  with 
the  soil.  It  makes  a  rich  liquid

Non-Leaching 

World’s  Finest  Phosphate 

Stumpp&WalterGo. 

New  York. 


Will  not  harm  vegetation,  regardless 
of  the  amount  used.  Use  it  in  addition 
to  other  fertilizers.  It  conserves  nitro¬ 
gen,  the  most  valuable  and  essential 
plant-food,  holds  wrater,  and  gives  it  to 
the  plants  with  least  resistance.  It 
contains  many  of  the  colloidal  mineral 
elements  most  necessary  to  plant-life 
and  production,  and  is  a  non-burning, 
non-leaching  plant-food.  Sawco  Col¬ 
loidal  Phosphate  gets  down  in  the  soil 
where  the  plant-roots  absorb  it.  It 
regulates  and  increases  the  plant-food 
supply  in  the  soil,  and  contains  and 
produces  carbon  dioxide  which  the  foli¬ 
age  of  the  plant  takes  up  from  the  air 
and  which  builds  95  per  cent  of  the  plant-structure.  It  increases 
root-growth  and  resists  drought,  stimulates  and  increases  the 
growth  of  bacteria  in  the  soil,  discourages  growth  of  weeds.  Can 
be  applied  at  any  time,  and  is  not  affected  by  weather  or  time. 
A  fine,  odorless  plant-food,  pleasant  to  use,  and  free  from  harmful 
bacteria  and  weed  seeds.  100  lbs.  $5,  500  lbs.  $17.50,  1,000  lbs. 
$30,  ton  $50,  car-lots  (15  to  20  tons)  $40  per  ton. 

A  highly  concentrated,  bal¬ 
anced  fertilizer  for  house-plants; 
also  strongly  recommended  for 
shade  trees  and  shrubbery. 
Several  applications  of  this  valu¬ 
able  plant-food,  which  can  be 
used  either  diluted  in  water  or 
broadcasted  during  the  season  at 
intervals  of  one  month,  will  give  amazing  results.  For  house- 
plants  dilute  at  the  rate  of  one  tablespoon  to  one  quart  of  water, 
being  careful  not  to  touch  foliage;  also  recommended  for  out¬ 
door  use,  thoroughly  saturating  the  soil,  applying  late  in  the 
afternoon,  i-lb.  can  50  cts.,  5  lbs.  $2,  10  lbs.  $3,  25  lbs.  $5. 

A  soil-builder  and  ideal  mulch 
that  is  especially  recommended 
for  crops  in  hot,  sandy  soils. 
Thoroughly  incorporate  with 
the  soil.  About  400  pounds  of 
the  concentrated  material  may 
be  considered  as  equal  in  value 
to  one  ton  of  fresh  cow-manure. 
Use  from  1  to  3  tons  to  the  acre;  6  to  20  ounces  per  square  yard. 
100  lbs.  $5.50,  500  lbs.  $20,  ton  $70. 

Supplies  nitrogen  to  the  grass 
plants  only;  these  are  encour¬ 
aged  and  they  flourish,  while 
clover  is  eventually  crowded  out. 
Frequent  dressings  are  advised. 
Use  2 yi  ounces  to  the  square 
yard,  750  lbs.  to  the  acre,  mixed 
with  twice  its  bulk  of  fine  sand 
or  soil.  100  lbs.  $6,  500  lbs.  $25,  ton  $80.

Insect  and  Rodent  Repellent 

_  Occasionally  our  patrons  advise  us  that  their  bulbs  are  destroyed  by  the  ravages  of 
mice,  particularly  in  the  case  of  Tulips.  This  happens  frequently  in  borders  which  are 
near  woodland.  Moles  get  into  the  borders  or  beds,  leaving  holes  through  which  mice 
enter  and  devour  the  bulbs.  The  ravages  of  mice  can  be  practically  eliminated  or  min¬ 
imized,  provided  the  planter  will  not  plant  the  bulbs  too  early.  In  this  section  of  the 
country  Tulip  bulbs  should  not  be  planted  until  about  Election  Day;  south  of  the 
Carolinas,  about  December  I.  It  should  be  remembered  that  Tulips  immediately  begin 
to  make  roots,  provided  the  land  is  warm,  and  as  soon  as  the  roots  are  developed  they 
have  a  tendency  to  make  top-growth.  More  failures  are  due  to  too  early  planting  rather 
than  to  faulty  planting.  Practically  all  other  bulbs  in  our  list  are  not  affected  by  rodents. 
In  the  case  of  Tulips  that  are  planted  in  the  perennial  border,  and  where  the  planter 
desires  to  give  other  plants  protection,  it  is  urged  that  this  protection  be  given  after  the 
ground  has  frozen  several  inches,  that  is,  defer  covering  your  borders  until  hard  frost 
has  set  in.  By  covering  at  this  time  you  will  keep  the  frost  in,  and,  in  almost  every 
instance,  keep  the  mice  out. 

It  is  advisable,  however,  as  a  further  protection,  to  use  what  is  perhaps  the  best 
insect  and_  rodent-repellent  there  is,  Semesan.  This  is  a  mercurial  preparation  which 
acts  as  a  disinfectant  as  well  as  repellent  to  rodents  or  to  any  insects  which  might  affect 
the  plant  during  its  period  of  growth  in  the  spring.  It  is  suggested  that  you  use  a  I  per 
cent  liquid  Semesan  solution,  that  is,  I  ounce  of  Semesan  to  I  gallon  of  water,  soaking 
the  bulbs  for  a  period  of  15  minutes  before  planting.  Semesan  is  offered  in  this  catalogue 
on  the  insecticide  pages.  2  ozs.  50  cts.,  lb.  $2.75,  5  lbs.  $13,  25  lbs.  $56.25.  ( Not 
mailable — sent  by  express  only.) 


Material  for  Bulb  Fertilization  and 
for  Building  up  Soil  Structure 

SAWCO  BULB  FERTILIZER.  The  professional  gardener  who  plants  bulbs  in 
solid  blocks  in  borders  frequently,  in  early  October,  works  well-rotted  manure  to  the 
depth  of  1  foot  into  the  soil,  spading  it  over  several  times  so  as  to  thoroughly  incorporate 
it,  and  thereby  build  up  the  soil-fertility  as  well  as  the  humus-content.  The  average 
home-owner  finds  it  difficult  to  get  this  manure  to  build  up  his  soil,  and  unless  he  is  well 
experienced  the  use  of  well-rotted  horse  or  cow  manure  is  dangerous,  as  the  preparation 
of  the  ground  must  be  carefully  done  and  the  manure  must  be  entirely  decayed  before 
any  bulbs  are  planted. 

To  meet  this  situation,  we  suggest  the  use  of  a  high-grade  bulb  fertilizer  which  con¬ 
tains,  in  proper  analysis,  the  plant-food  for  the  roots  of  the  bulbs  to  feed  on.  We  offer 
Sawco  Bulb  Fertilizer  in  the  following  quantities  and  suggest  that  it  be  broadcasted 
on  the  land  and  worked  in  with  a  spade  several  days  before  the  planting  of  the  bulbs, 
and  that  it  be  used  at  the  rate  of  5  pounds  for  100  square  feet  of  planting  area.  5  lbs. 
50  cts.,  10  lbs.  90  cts.,  25  lbs.  $1.75,  50  lbs.  $3,  100  lbs.  $5,  500  lbs.  $20,  ton  $70. 

SAWCO  BRAND  GRANULATED  PEAT  FIBRE.  This  brand  of  Granulated 
Peat  Fibre  is  excellent  for  mixing  with  the  soil  as  a  mulch  for  bulb  or  rose-beds.  It  is 
also  particularly  good  for  growing  bulbs  indoors,  there  being  nothing  better,  especially 
in  the  case  of  liliums.  Mix  one-third  to  one-half  of  peat  with  the  soil  for  this  purpose. 
Use  it  on  bulb-beds  in  the  spring  to  keep  the  ground  cool  and  on  rose-beds  during  the 
summer  for  the  same  reason.  We  offer  tightly  compressed,  burlapped,  slatted,  wire- 
bound  bales,  measuring  40  x  27  x  22  inches,  weighing  approximately  175  pounds,  con¬ 
taining  8  to  9  bushels,  or  enough  to  cover  xoo  square  feet  to  a  depth  of  2]A  inches,  at 
$5  per  bale;  in  lots  of  5  bales  at  $4  per  bale;  in  lots  of  10  bales  at  $3.50  per  bale.  (Write 
for  prices  on  carload  lots.)  Small  sample  bale  (size  about  20  pounds)  §1.50  each.
