Comments Solicited

TrUE to the trend of modern times, modern
homes demand modern gardening. Changing
and ever changing in ideas, gives zest to the
human existence and looking forward to some¬
thing new and different in your garden each
season, brings both a thrill and a glow of satis¬
faction.

Create in your mind’s eye, a picture of a dream
garden which revels in exotic loveliness, show¬
ing a skillful blending of color, a careful plant¬
ing arrangement and work with the idea of
making it a reality. Whether your space be
large or small, the evolution of beauty will pro¬
duce the same sense of satisfaction.

Have you ever thought how we, who compile these catalogs, strive to make each book
more convenient and more interesting for our customers every season? A catalog is like
a great store and must offer merchandise of every conceivable form and color to fit each
individual’s needs; varieties that would prove fitting and attractive to one planter might
not appeal to another. Descriptions and illustrations are the show windows and you may
enjoy them during your leisure hours and select the varieties most pleasing to you.

In the past few years, there has been a remarkably noticeable trend, on the part of gard¬
eners, to grow all types of hardy perennials, as a careful selection of varieties will give
continuous color and bloom. With the great diversity of forms, almost any effect may be
achieved. Peonies and Irises head the list as the most desirable of all and we have com¬
bined these in one book this season for your convenience, hoping that it will be a great
improvement. Let us have your comments and suggestions on this question, whether
critical or complimentary. Of course, your orders will make us feel that our represen¬
tative, in the form of our catalog, has appealed to you favorably, and if you enjoy receiv¬
ing it, orders are a necessity to keep it coming.

In addition to the incomparable list of Peonies and Irises, we are offering other select
perennials that will prove most dependable and satisfactory. An unusual collection of
low trailing plants in Sedums and Sempervivums for the rockery and the border. These
are evergreen, and will prove very fascinating the whole winter through.

Fall planting is greatly to be desired as the plants establish themselves through the late
fall and early winter months, and are ready to start growing long before the ground can
be worked in the spring. Be ready for it and enjoy your garden both this fall and next
spring to the fullest extent.

PLANTING AND CARE OF PEONIES

The Herbaceous Peony is of such simple culture and so easy to grow that but little attention
will be necessary in' order to produce the finest blooms.

Peonies may be planted successfully any time from the middle of August until the ground
freezes in the fall and in early spring until the season is too far advanced. September and October
is the best time, as they make root growth when the fall rains come, which enables them to bloom
the following spring.

Probably the very best soil is one that is neither too heavy with clay nor too light with sand,

but such as would make a good vegetable garden. Peonies do not do well when planted where

Peonies have grown before, and they greatly resent direct contact with fresh manure, which will
start the roots to decay.

The root should be set so that the top or upper eyes will be about two, and not more than three

inches below the level of the soil. Do not set the roots flat, but stand them up if not too long. Set

them about two and one-half to three and one-half feet apart, according to the room at your disposal.

The Peony is practically immune from general diseases. If you get good, healthy plants to
start with and prepare your soil as it should be, you need have no doubt of entire success.

Why some Peonies do not bloom. There may be several reasons. Too deep planting or too
heavy mulching frequently causes blind growths with no blooms. Sometimes very severe late frosts,
after the growth is well advanced, will destroy the coming blooms. Lack of moisture or fertility
will also affect the blooming qualities. Peonies require much moisture during the few weeks pre¬
ceding blooming time, afterward moderate moisture will suffice.

A mass of them in bloom is a most gorgeous sight as their striking beauty and strange

prevent roots heaving out of the ground.

PLANTING AND CULTURE.

A dry sunny location will produce the best Bearded Iris, but they will thrive in any good
garden soil that is well drained.

Plant very shallow, so the top of the rhizome is just below the surface of the ground. It
is wise to cover them with a light mulch the first winter to prevent them heaving entirely
out of the ground on account of the frequent freezes and thaws. Water once when
planting to firm the soil around the rhizome. A light application of lime added each year
will prove very beneficial and when the soil needs fertilizer, a dressing of bone meal is
sufficient. Avoid manure and over-watering. Keep the plantings free from weeds by
frequent but shallow cultivation.

The best time for planting Irises is after they are through flowering in July and August;
this enables the plants to become well established before winter comes and insures bloom¬
ing the first year. To get best results, the roots should be dug and divided every three
or four years.

Most beardless Irises object to lime, preferring a more acid and rich soil. They also
thrive in damp locations, if the rhizomes are above the level of the standing water. The
Sibericas and Orientalis should never be limed. The Spuria group, Monspur and Shelford
Giant do well in cultivated soil, liking both fertilization and lime. Tectorum must have a
dry location in the full sun. Pseudoacorus will do well in any location but thrives
especially in wet places.

planting of fascinating Evergreens. Many striking combina¬

best of all they* are as effective in Winter as in Summer.

Varieties offered cover a wide range of forms in the
hardiest and most reliable varieties. Pleasing effects, both
formal and informal, can be attained with them.

These Evergreens are field grown, with strong roots and
bushy tops. They are ready to plant on your lawn or in
your garden as single specimens, or massed for foundation
screens, and will develop into fine specimens of which you
will be proud.

These Evergreens are dug with a ball of earth around
the roots and tightly wrapped with packing material to

and do not break the ball or expose the roots to the air.
Place the plant in the hole before removing the wrapping.
