How to Grow ltis
Irises may be grown very successfully
in Southern gardens if proper growing
conditions are provided for them, and, in
selecting the particular types that are
best suited for your garden, consideration
should be given to Iccation:and,soil. In
the planting instructions given‘below we
have emphasized the requirements of
each type.
German Irises require a: well-drained,
sunny location. Clay soils should be
mixed to a depth of 1 foot with a liberal
quantity of sharp sand. Do not plant too
deep. The top of,the rhizomes should be
at ground-level. ‘Use no’ fertilizer except
Bone Meal, about a closed handful to
each plant, and .after planting, water
thoroughly to settle soil. Cultivate the
surface after each. rain and water only
when soil is dry. “Remove old leaves as
they wither sufficiently. to pull them off.
Proper distance between plants, 1 foot.
Louisiana Irises do equally well in
sunny or partially shaded locations if
properly watered. Clay soils should be
loosened by spading in a liberal quantity
of Peat Moss. Plant the roots about
4 inches deep and 1 foot apart. Leave
them undisturbed m the ground until
they are crowded for space, when they
should be lifted and separated. This is
best done in late summer or fall.
Japanese Irises may be grown very
successfully in the South by observing a
few simple rules. They prefer a sunny
location, but are not adverse to_semi-
shade. In preparing your bed, spade into
the soil a liberal supply of well-rotted
cow manure and Peat Moss. Plant the
roots 3 to 4 inches deep, and in order to
provide sufficient moisture during warm
« weather, dike your beds so the water will
not run off. Never allow the soil to dry
out. Give a good soaking whenever
needed.

We offer California Roses grown for us by one of the largest and most
reputable growers on the West Coast. All plants offered are large, hardy,
2-year-old, field-grown, budded stock, full of vigor. They have been
blooming profusely this past season.
All Tea (T) and Hybrid Tea (HT) Roses are everblooming in the
South. Hybrid Perpetuals (HP) are more seasonal in their blooming.
Cutturat Drrecrions. Select a location where your Roses will get
the sun at least 5 to 6 hours a day. They do best in a slightly acid ground
and if your soil is alkaline it is advisable to give the Rose-beds an appli-
cation of Aluminum Sulphate before setting out the bushes. Broadcast,
this material over the surface at the rate of 10 pounds per 100 square
feet, and mix it into the soil by spading. For easy cultivation and cutting
of flowers do not make your Rose-beds more than 3 feet wide, and set
your bushes 11% feet apart each way.
About the end of February the Rose bushes should be pruned. Cut
the plants back to about 12 inches; remove all dead wood and weak and
unproductive growth. Climbing Roses if cut back at all should be pruned
about the beginning of July. Some growers object to severe pruning, In
which case remove only the dead wood or unproductive growth.
Give your first application of plant-food about the middle of February
and continue monthly until June. Apply a closed handful to each bush
sprinkled over the surface and watered down.
Spraying Is very necessary to protect the plants from black-spot, mil-
dew, and insects. Tri-Ogen or Nicotine Pyrox are probably the most
efficient of all the spray materials as they control the fungus and kill
all types of insects.
In the spring a mulch of some kind Is of great importance. Such mate-
rial as Peat-Moss or Servall is suitable for this purpose. During dry
weather give your Rose-bed a thorough soaking twice a week. Light
daily sprinklings are of little benefit.

She “Beauty of the Lawn-
ADDS TO THE CHARM OF THE HOUSE
840 AMERICAN RYE GRASS
The finest Winter Lawn Grass for the South. It is a
fast-growing annual with broad, flat blades of delight-
ful green color. Will produce a beautiful and luxuriant
solid carpet of grass within two weeks. Sow at the rate
of 1 pound to 75 to 100 square feet. On new lawns a
rake can be used in mixing the seed into the surface
soil. When sowing on a Bermuda or Carpet Iawn the
grass should be mowed as closely as possible before
sprinkling the seed, and for better germination the
Iawn should be given a light covering with good soil
or Peat Moss. Lb. 25c.; 5 Ibs. $1.00, postpaid. Not
prepaid: 10 Ibs. $1.40; 25 Ibs. $3.25; 100 Ibs. $12.00.
829 FANCY BERMUDA GRASS
The most dependable Summer Lawn Grass for Southern gardens.
Makes a tough, even, clumpless turf that recovers quickly after cut-
ting. Lasts for years and stands lIong, hot, dry summers without
injury. Succeeds on nearly all types of soil. Germinates im 20 to 30
days with proper soil-moisture. For good, heavy stand, sow at the
rate of 5 pounds to 1000 square feet, from March to September.
The seed can be sown on top of your winter grass after mowing
same closely. Pass a rake over the grass to prevent the fine seeds
from sticking to the blades. Although a perennial, the top of Bermuda
Grass dies down during cold winters, but will come up again the next
spring. The Bermuda Grass seed we offer is the finest, Jeaf-cultivated,
turf-producing strain, testing 98 per cent purity or better. Lb. 90c.;
5 lbs. $4.25, postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 Ibs. $7.00; 100 Ibs. $65.00.
£26 HULLED BERMUDA GRASS
Reuter offers his extra-fancy Bermuda Grass with the hulls re-
moved, a new process which gives much quicker germination. Under
favorable moisture and soil-conditions, Reuter’s Hulled Bermuda
Grass will germinate in 8 to 10 days, almost as quick as Rye Grass.
It is more economical because half the quantity Is necessary to sow
100 square feet of Iawn. Be sure to specify hulled seed when ordering,
as otherwise the unhulled seed will be shipped. Lb. $1.30; 5 Ibs.

produce a_ beautiful, velvety green, all-year-round
lawn capable of standing winter cold and summer heat
and drought. Five pounds will sow 1000 square feet
(50x 20 feet). Plant liberally if you wish a thick
luxuriant lawn. Lb. 75c.; 5 Ibs. $3.50, postpaid. Not
prepaid: 10 Ibs. $5.50; 100 Ibs. $50.00.
830 CARPET GRASS
Splendid Lawn Grass for the South. Better than Bermuda for poor,
sandy soil and semi-shady lawns. It is a perennial, spreading by
creeping stems which root at every joint, thus forming a close, com-
pact turf. Germinates in 20 to 30 days if soil is kept properly moist.
For a closely matted lawn, sow at the rate of 5 pounds per 1000
square feet from March until July. Like Bermuda Grass, the seed
may be sown on top of your winter lawn after close mowing. Reuter
offers only stock that has been carefully analyzed for purity and
germination in our own modern Seed Laboratory. Lb. 60c.; 5 Ibs.
$2.50, postpaid. Not prepaid: 10 Ibs. $4.00; 100 Ibs. $38.00.
ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS
In Florida, and to an ever-increasing extent in New Orleans, the
shady lawn problem has been solved by the use of this perennial
creeping grass. It is a deep green, broad-bladed grass, creeping by
means of surface runners. Somewhat similar to Carpet Grass, except
it has a better color and stays green during ordinary winters. Seed
Is not available, but Iawns are established with rooted runners, laid
down m parallel trenches about 8 to 10 inches apart and 2 inches
eep, with a flat slope on one side and nearly vertical on the other.
A bushel will plant from 150 to 200 square feet, depending on how
close it is set. Not prepaid: Bus. $2.25; 10 bus. $20.00.
