that are advertised as 3 or 4 years old are probably less than 12
inches tall, possibly not more than 8 or 10 inches tall.
Buy By Size
Transplanting may be done in the spring, or in the late
summer or early fall.
Except when otherwise noted, ten trees of one size and one
variety for nine times the price of one tree. Five trees for one-
half this amount. Twenty-five or more trees will be sold at the
hundred rate. Prices include buri'apped ball of dirt.

Why not ask us to send a flowering shrub, some gladiola

larkspur, or the like, to Mother for Mother’s Day? We shall
be glad to attend to it.
The Fragrant Evergreen Daphne (Page 9) with its
succession of bloom throughout the season would be much
appreciated.
EVERY DAY IS ARBOR DAY WITH US
Our nurseries are located right here in New England
within a comparatively few miles of you, and we can get
stock to you in good fresh condition — making it unnecessary
for you to send away off to some other part of the country
for trees, plants and bulbs.

ROSES
For a number of years, we have been offering mainly
Hybrid Perpetual roses, on account of their greater hardi¬
ness. Because of their shorter blooming period, however, we
have removed some of these from our list and are offering
more Hybrid Teas. While the latter are not quite as hardy,
we feel that as they bloom over such a longer period each
summer they are worth running what little additional risk
there is of winter injury. If our customers will take a little
more care in protecting the bushes each fall by mounding
the soil at least a foot high around each plant and putting
on manure, straw, or evergreen boughs as extra protection,
we feel sure they will get much more satisfaction. The bushes
we offer below are strictly No. 1, 2 yr. plants which have
been grown in the field, thus insuring vigor and maximum
hardiness.

GLADIOLAS
Any good garden soil will raise good “Glads” if you
plant good bulbs. Set the bulbs stem-end up, from three to
five inches apart and four to six inches deep, covering them
gradually as the tops come up through the soil (as in plant¬
ing asparagus roots). Deep planting prevents the flowers
from falling over and makes staking unnecessary. At least
fifty days are required from planting to blooming. For a
succession of blooms, do not plant all bulbs at one time.
Experiments at Cornell show that best results are se¬
cured with gladiolas when the bulbs are procured not very
far away — which is another good reason why you may well
get your bulbs from us, here in the heart of New England.
In cutting blooms use a sharp knife and leave at least
two or three leaves on the plant.
When the leaves turn brown in the fall, lift the bulbs,
dry them in the sun, and after removing the old shrivelled
bulb, store in a cool dry place where they cannot freeze.
The following varieties are some of the most beautiful.
They will delight the eye and gladden the heart of any flow¬
er-lover. — Please Order Early.
For a ready-mixed assortment, we especially recommend
the following :
Exonian Mixture. A good assortment of beautiful varieties.
25c per doz. ; 50 bulbs for 75c ; $1.00 per 100.

BEARDED [RISES
Commonly, though erroneously, called German Iris.
These May-flowering, vigorous-growing plants thrive in well-
drained, sunny spots. See them in bloom and you will know
at once why they are increasing in popularity each year. In
planting, barely cover the roots, and mulch the first Fall to
prevent heaving.
Iris may be transplanted in the Spring, in the Summer
or in the Fall — in short almost any time when the ground is
not frozen.
Our stock of Iris is large, and a visit to our nurseries at
blossoming time will well repay any who like to see them in
bloom. We shall be pleased to have you call.

A new variety originated by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding
Farm, originators of Latham. This variety has been under test
a number of years, and it has considerably out-yielded Latham
the last two years. It is a trifle smaller than Latham, but a
slightly better berry and somewhat firmer. Ripens nearly a
week earlier and is a good variety to prolong the season. Chief
is said to be the hardiest of the desirable new varieties.

plants are not satisfactory so are offering one-year trans¬

possibly wood ashes, and keep well cultivated.

STRAWBERRIES
Every garden and farm should raise a good supply for use
fresh and for canning. They make a very wonderful sauce or
preserve. Incidentally, they are a profitable crop to raise for
market. In planting, choose well-prepared ground, free from
witch grass, and set the plants with the crown or bud just at
the surface of the ground. Set the plants 1 ft. apart, with the
rows at least 3 ft. apart.
( )ur plants are what we call “Good-as-Grow” Brand. Or¬
der early and set as early as possible. Please specify if we may
substitute, if sold out of any variety ordered.

Wilson. Early. An old variety of good flavor and quality. Very
popular with some of our local growers.
Howard 17. For a good all-around variety for home or market,

qualities, drought-resistance, productiveness, disease re¬
sistance, supply of pollen and length of fruiting season.

pointed. Sells very rapidly and is all that its name implies.

ket.
Rhubarb is a good spring tonic. It is easy to raise, and
any surplus may be canned for winter use as sauce or for pies.
ASPARAGUS ROOTS
Every gardener and farmer should raise his own aspara¬
gus, even if all he has is a few plants in a row alongside the
vegetable garden, out of the way of the plow, but where the
wheel-harrow can be run over them in early spring. Aspara¬
gus should be set only on well-prepared ground which is free
from witch grass. We recommend spring planting for aspara¬
gus. Upon request we will gladly mail more complete instruc¬
tions on starting an Asparagus Bed.
The best variety of all is Mary Washington. Consequent¬
ly we are raising only this variety. Why not plant the best
and why not let us fill your order with fresh-dug roots at rea¬
sonable prices?
