SWEET PEAS
We are headquarters forall the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a
specialty of this grand annual. Our collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date
varieties have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of real merit retained. When you
stop to consider that there are nearly six hundred named varieties, you will doubtlessly miss some
old favorite that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety; we could certainly
send a variety equally good. ,
The Spencer or orchid-flowering types are coming strongly to the fore, but many are not yet thor-
oughly ‘‘set.” The ‘‘Unwin’s” are all good, and many grandiflora varieties are still holding their own.
If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions.
At the exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, held at the American Museum
of Natural History, New York City, July 7 and 8, 1909, we were awarded the
C. C. MORSE CO.’S SILVER CUP
for the largest collection of Sweet Peas, number of varieties to count. Open to the trade only.
The Arthur T. Boddington SILVER CUP, for the largest collection of Sweet Peas, was
won by Mr. Harry Turner, gardener to Howard Gould, Esq., Castle Gould, Port Washington, L. I.
Seed supplied exclusively by us.
The W. Altee Burpee SILVER CUP, for the finest collection of Sweet Peas, varieties to
count, was won by Mr. William Duckham, gardener to Mrs. D. Willis James, Madison, ho J. Seed
supplied exclusively by us.
At Lake Geneva, Wis., the SILVER CUP offered by Arthur T. Boddington, at the vitduaes
show, was won by Mr. James Livingstone, gardener to H. H. Porter. Seed supplied exclusively by us.
At Lake Forest, Ill., at the midsummer show, first prize for Sweet Peas was won by Mr. E. L.
Parshall, gardener to E. L. Ryerson, Esq. Seed supplied exclusively by us. .
In all of these collections, the quality of the bloom and the length and strengife of stem, the
depth of color, and trueness to type, were all well pronounced, and the fact of = Winning success
bears out these facts very strongly.
For the forthcoming 1910 exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America
(time and place to be announced later) we take pleasure in offering
A CHALLENGE SILVER CUP. Value $50
FOR A COLLECTION OF SWEET PEAS, 25 VARIETIES, NOT LESS THAN
25 STEMS TO A VASE, TO BE SHOWN WITH SWEET PEA FOLIAGE ONLY
TO BE WON TWICE BY THE SAME EXHIBITOR
We will also award to the winner of this cup (each time won) a cash prize of $25;
$15 second prize-and $10 third prize.
Are you a member of the National Sweet Pea Society of America? If not, you should send
for an application blank; the annual dues are $2, life membership, $25. By becoming a member
you are entitled to the annual report and other interesting announcements. For further informa-

SNOWFLAKE
SWEET PEA,
2 | Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
A Short History of the Sweet Pea
By the REV, W. T. HUTCHINS, California
A noted authority on the Sweet Pea
OMPARISONS are notalways accepted graciously among |
people, but among flowers we have thought there could |
be but one Queen, but why not Queens? We cannot say
less than that the Sweet Pea, in iis present development
of courtly beauty, is a Queen. Its present stage of devel-
opment is simply phenomenal. Its range of color and improved
form, and the pleasure of growing it at its best, almost challenges
rivalry. Twice in its recent history it has been made into a new
flower, once by Henry Eckford, who made it into the grandi-
flora form, and now by a numerous coterie of enthusiasts, who
have made it into the latest Unwin and Spencer type.
As far back as the memory of the oldest person, it has always
been a garden favorite ; but now it is of such importance that
both Great Britain and the United States have their National
Sweet Pea Societies. (See 2d cover page.)
If we mean by the history of the Sweet Pea its earliest intro-
duction to our notice, we go back to the Italian monk Cupani,
who found it in Sicily and, in 1700, sent seeds of it to Uvedale,
in England. This was celebrated at the Bi-Centennial held at
Crystal Palace, in London, in 1900. Mr. S. B. Dick, of London,
is the Sweet Pea antiquarian who has ransacked European
libraries to find the authentic data. The original colors, so far
as known, were red, purple and white. The old popular Painted
Lady was probably known at an early date. A hundred years
later, John Mason offered black, purple, scarlet, white and
Painted Lady. These were what we call the old-fashioned Sweet
Peas. We then have to take another long leap forward. In 1866,
Carter put out Invincible Scarlet. In 1877, Benary offered the |
first flesh pink, Crown Princess of Prussia. In 1877, Sutton in-
troduces Butterfly, the white and blue bo: dered variety. In 1880,
Invincible Scarlet Striped was offered by Carter. Fairy Queen,
a white with delicate carmine pencillings appeared in 1882. Capt.
Clark, the first tricolor was another. Adonis came from Carter's
in 1884, the first rose-pink. Dark striped sorts were not un-
common. By this time Mr. Eckford had been at work several
years preparing for his great chapter in the history of this flower.
And Mr. Laxton, of Bedford, England, was also doing some-
thing along these lines. The list of introductions from this time
multiplied. Mr. Eckford’s first varieties were not specially
novel in color, but when he brought out Orange Prince, in 1886,
and Boreatton, the dark velvety maroon, in 1887, it was evident
that he had mastered the secret of making new colors. Duchess |
of Edinburgh was another with great prophetic promise in it.
But none of these could compare with the later grandiflora
novelties. From 1876 till his death, three years ago, he devoted
himself to the development of the Sweet Pea.
Mr. Eckford was a Scotchman and a peer among the
thoroughly trained gardeners of Great Britain. His floral work-
shop, at Wem, Shropshire, England, comprising several acres,
was a Mecca to those who enjoyed the privilege of visiting him.
His name must always stand first in the history of this flower.
While the Sweet Pea is taking a new type, a more graceful
form today, quite distinct from Mr. Eckford’s best novelties, to
him more than to anybody else is due the splendid range of color
that we now have. Practically every one but true yellow. As
to the number of listed names, counting all to date, there are

| novelties were offered for judgment at the English shows. Ir)
| ers’? ahead as we did in this country. The writer hopes, w
about six hundred, Probably, out of these, two hundred are
sufficiently distinct to hold a place in a strictly judged exhibit.
Mr. Eckford lived long enough to see the advent of the new |
chapter in this flower, the story of what is called the Spencer
type. No one knows why, after Mr. Eckford had brought the |
flower to its grandiflora stage, in which it took the graceful
hooded form, there should still be locked up in its sacred
chamber a new and still more beautiful form.

Countess of Spencer bloomed. It seemed to be ambitious to
make an orchid of itself. It has been called the Orchid-flowered
Sweet Pea. Both standard and wings take inso much new fabric
that it is disposed ofin fluted and wavy form. And all the colors
are coming to this Spencer type. When, twenty years ago, there
was no Sweet Pea literature, what has since been written on
this flower might almost be said to be a library. Its culture ex-
cites the liveliest competition. But while in Great Britain the
enthusiasm is now at its height, twenty years ago Mr. Eckford was
quietly winning certificates. About that time attention was at-
tracted in this country to the merit of Mr. Eckford’s work and
soon a wave of interest swept over the United States. The de-
mand leaped from pounds to tons of Sweet Pea seed, and the
growing of Sweet Pea seed was taken up in California and else-
where as one of the chief sources of commercial value. It seemed
out a row of improved Sweet Peas. Their new popularity re-
sulted before long in overdoing the matter and what had
previously been an easy flower to grow began to give trouble.
Nature entered its protest against sucha craze. and certain forms
of plant weakness and insect pests seriously disputed the way
with even the most skilled gardeners. But, in the meantime,
many fine exhibitions had been held in the larger cities. Before
Great Britain had really waked up we had our feast. And then,
after we had thoroughly advertised Mr. Eckford’s work, Great
Britain felt the contagion and now for about ten years the “‘storm
center’’ has been there. And to their credit it should be said,
when they did wake up they took hold of the work in thorough
fashion. Mr. Eckford himself had been an old gardener on fine
estates; and when the new Countess of Spencer appeared, in
1901, it was shown by Mr. Silas Cole, a gardener on an English
estate. And this was the beginning of the new race of Sweet Peas.
It is but an aggravation to try to condense the story of the
present enthusiasm over this flower. Last year about seventy
every way the interest is stimulated. Great pains are taken there
by deep culture of the soil, and by planting in pots, to get then
into early bloom. Thev vie with each other and they scold eacl

BODDINGTON'’S SEEDS 3
A Few Hints on the Successful Growing of Sweet Peas
BY AN EXPERT
Buy your seeds early. ; :
Never sow seed of Sweet Peas on the same land in successive years. If your garden is small and you find this necessary, the soil should
be removed and filled in afresh following the instructions given below. oe,
The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep and prepared early (preferably in the fall of the year) if this can be done; good
slaked lime and wood ashes should be thoroughly dug into the ground. : ‘
A good rich turfy loam is the ideal soil for growing Sweet Peas, thoroughly enriched with good rotted
manure or bone meal, and dug in as deeply as possible. : . \
If your soil is not of the above consistency, dig a trench two feet deep and two feet wide and fill with
ood rich turfy loam that has been thoroughly mixed with rotted manure or bone meal, in proportion of three-
ourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer, according to the condition of the soil. ‘ Mm
Do not sow your Sweet Peas thickly or too thinly (one ounce of Sweet Peas to five feet is afair / t
average). If the Peas should grow too thickly, thin out to about two inches apart, but not neces-
sarily in a single row, rather alternately, viz. -* -*%+°%.
Seed of the black-seeded varieties can be sown
as soon as the frost is out of the ground, provided
it is not too wet, the white-seeded varieties should
not be sown until the ground is warm and dry.
Before sowing, pulverize your soil in the trench
about three inches deep. Sow seeds, in a double
row about ten inches apart, about two inches below
the surface and tread down firmly.
For training the vines, use either ‘‘brush”
(that is branches of birch or other light material)
or large mesh wire netting held by posts, the brush
or the netting should run about five feet above the
ground.
‘ It is as well to stake, brush or erect
your wire netting before the seedlings get
too tall, better perhaps when seed is
sown.
Dry and hot weather affect Sweet Peas
very quickly. They should be watered
very frequently and thoroughly, and the
application of liquid manure given once a
week. A good heavy mulch of long straw
manure covering the ground around the
Sweet Peas should be applied as soon as
warm weather sets in. This prevents the ground
fro drying out and keeps the soil cool.
The flowers should be cut as often as possible
and all seed pods removed as soon as they appear.
By attending to this properly, it greatly lengthens
the life of the vine and the flowering season.
A partial shade during the hottest parts of the
day is very essential to secure the
best color in the blooms, it also
protects the vines from the strong
rays of the sun. If possible to
protect the lower growth of the
Peas, this should be done also.
If Sweet Peas should be at-
tacked by the green, black or
white fly, they should be thor-
oughly sprayed with one of the
several Nicoteen preparations that
are offered on page 142.
The greatest enemy of young
Sweet Peas is the cut-worm, and they
are so destructive as to prevent some
people from having a good stand of
Sweet Peas at any time. They usually
take the young shoots as soon as they
appear, and while some plants will send out
new shoots and grow again after being cut off,
most of them are cut too far down and are ruined.
A sprinkling of slaked lime over the row or watering
with lime water helps to keep out the cut-worms.
A handful of grass dipped in a solution of Paris
green will sometimes attract the worms, the poison
killing them.
FARMOGERM, which we offer among the
fertilizers on page 142, is an excellent agent for the
successful growing of Sweet Peas, if the instruc-
tions for the use of this article are carefully fol
lowed.
_One of the most necessary things in the culti-
vation of Sweet Peas is the proper feeding of the
plants, when they are in full growth a change of
food” is particularly essential. When they start
into bloom a good application of Scotch soot, ap-
Plied in liquid form, improves the color of flower - —_
and foliage to a remarkable degree. Aurora Spencer. (For description see page 7.)

Novelty Gigantic Orchid-Flowering
Sweet Peas for 1910
The following varieties have been selected with great care from a very large offering of novelties in Sweet Peas, by leading
seed houses and growers in the United States and from the British Isles. We tested over sixty varieties last year from various
sources ; at least ninety per cent of these were no improvement over existing varieties, in color or form.
Customers buying new Spencers, and flowering them for the first time, are apt to find that they ‘‘sport’’ to a considerable
extent. It is our intent, however, to only send out those of known fixity. The so-called sportive element in the Spencers has been
the means of creating many new varieties, so this cannot always be considered a fault. If any of our customers should secure one
of exceptional and surprising merit, we would consider it a favor for them to send us a few of the blooms, and would suggest
that they ‘‘mark’’ this plant, so that seed can be saved if necessary. We are always willing to pay a good premium for deserv-
ing novelties in Sweet Peas or any other variety of flower or vegetable novelty, and correspondence is solicited along these lines.
George Stark
F. F. C. and Silver Medal, 1908, England National Sweet Pea Society’s Trials, Reading; F. F. C., Wolverhampton; F. F. C.,
Norwich. This variety is the finest scarlet pea yet in commerce. The flower is bold and has extraordinary substance. The stan-
dard is nicely waved and upright, but owing to the thickness of the petal is not so crinkled as some of the Spencers. Both for
exhibition and decorative purposes it is good, also stands the sun perfectly. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1:
Marie Corelli
The large flowers are brilliant rose-carmine or red, uniformly of true Spencer form. The wings are a pure, rich rose-carmine,
while the standard shows a tint of cherry-red. The whole effect is that of a brilliant crimson, clear, distinct and most beautiful:
The standard is large, round and wavy; the wings are full and inclined to remain boldly outright instead of drooping. Marie
Corelli is a variety that belongs in all first dozen sets, and will become one of the standard shades in Spencers. (See illustra-
tion opposite.) Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Senator Spencer
The color is a varying combination of deep claret and chocolate, striped and flaked on a ground of light heliotrope.
Senator Spencer is of the true Spencer form, wavy edges on both standard and wings; large, round, fluffy standard, long
drooping wings. Both standard and wings are marked with the same colors and in the same way, with a trifle more of the wine
shading in the wings. There are usually four good, large, finely formed flowers on each stem. (See illustration opposite.) Pkt.
25 cts., 5 for $1.
Miriam Beaver :
In shape, size, graceful arrangement on the stems, free blooming and seedless nature, it is in all respects the same as Coun-
tess Spencer. Its novelty is its color—a glowing but soft apricot, tinted, shaded and suffused with lemon. A little variation, per-
haps, with a tint of salmon, deeper by a trifle on the back of the standard, but practically a self color, The color might be said
to approach a terra-cotta tint, especially so as it harmonizes so beautifully with golden brown. (See illustration opposite.) Pkt.
25 cts., 5 for $1.
W. T. Hutchins
W. T. Hutchins is a fine, bold, true Spencer of most perfect form and coloring. The buds show a decided buff color. The
fully expanded color has the appearance of light apricot (distinctly }emon at the throat), overlaid with a beautiful blush pink. As
the season advances, the blush-pink shading becomes rather more pronourced. The vigorous vines flower most freely; the
stems are long and carry well three or four fine flowers. Both standard and wings are wavy, ruffled and crinkled of the most _ad-
vanced Spencer type. The flowers are of the largest size, the standard measures 2 inches across by 15s inches deep. Pkt.
25 cts., 5 for $1.
Picotee
A lovely new and distinct variety, Spencer form. Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and well waved. In most
cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well placed and of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing often seen in cer-
tain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower, and should be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as an exhibi-
tion or garden variety. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Snowflake
A grand white variety of the Spencer type, described to us by the originators as an improved white Spencer. Immensely flor-
iferous, sturdy and strong grower, with an average of four flowers to the stem. (See illustration page 7.) Pkt. 15 cts., 2

lavender in the Spencer selections. Large and wavy; large wavy
wings also. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. soc., 40z. 4oc., 0z. 75c., 4 lb. $2.75.
APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. This is a reproduction of the
long-time popular Apple Blossom Sweet Pea, but of enlarged size
and the true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful; the pet-
als are waved and crinkled toa remarkable degree with distinct
serrations on edges of standard. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., %
0z. 40 cts., oz. 75 cts., 4 lb. $2.75.
AURORA SPENCER. Thisis an exact counterpart, as to color,
of Aurora Sweet Pea, which has been so long considered the best
of all the striped and mottled varieties; it differs only in size and
character of the flowers. The superbly beautiful flowers are of
really enormous size, and come uniformly of true Spencer type.
Both standard and wings are waved or fluted to a most pronounced
degree. The magnificent flowers are produced most profusely in
three and four, well placed on the end of long, stiff, dark green
stems. The ground color of the flower is a cream-white, and this
is exquisitely flaked and mottled with rich orange-salmon. It
bunches beautifully. See illustration, page 3. Pkt. 25c., 5 pkts. $1.

KING EDWARD SPENCER. Descriptive of this sterling
novelty it should be necessary only to say that it is the nearest
in approach in color to the popular King Edward VII in the
waved or Spencer type. The enormous flowers come almost
uniformly waved and crinkled to a pronounced degree. The stan-
Pkt. 25
dard measures from 1% to 2 inches across by 1% inches deep;
the wings are 134 inches wide by 1% inches long. The unusually
large wings make the flowers appear truly gigantic in size. The

wings are also carmine-scarlet and on the reverse side are of a
deep rosy carmine. Pkt. 25c., 5 pkts. $1, %0z. 75c., 0z. $1.35, 4 1b. $5.
LOVELY SPENCER. Like its predecessor, ‘‘ Lovely,”’ this selec-
tion is all its name describes it. Bright pink at the throat, or rather
the base of both standard and wings, and shades to soft blush and
almost white at the edges. Of the true Spencer type, large and
wavy. Pkt. 15c., 2 pkts. 25c., }40z. 30c., oz. 50 cts., 4b. $1.75.

as Florence Morse Spencer on primrose ground. The blending
shades are soft rose and buff and primrose, with a decided rose
edge. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, 4oz. 60 cts., oz. $1, %4 1D. $3.50.
MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old

cts., 40z. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts., 4 1b. $1.75.
OTHELLO SPENCER. This beautiful new Sweet Pea of the true
Spencer type will appeal to those having a preference for the
darker colors. The flowers come uniformly true to type, being
beautifully waved or crinkled both in standard and wings. The
stems are thick and long and carry well either three or four fine
blossoms of a rich deep maroon. It isa strong grower and the
intensely dark colored flowers contrast well with the lighter shades
already introduced. Pkt. 25c.,5 pkts. $1, }40z. 60c., oz. $1, 4 1b. $3.50.
PRINCESS BEATRICE SPENCER. As the name implies, this
variety resembles in color and markings the old favorite Princess
Beatrice. It is fully as large as Countess Spencer, with wavy stan-
dard and large wings. The ground is white, tinted with soft pink
and buff on the standard, while each wing has a blotch of brighter
pink near the base. One of the most delicate and dainty varieties.

RAMONA SPENCER, Like the well-known Ramona, this va-
riety is clear white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush-
pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Both stan-
dard and wings are wavy, fluffy, and it is very seldom one findsa
stem with less than four blossoms; delicate and beautiful. Pkt. 25

ORANGE
Dimorphotheca aurantiaca “Daisy
(NOVELTY ‘o9.) H.A.
This is the best annual novelty of last season, and gave great
satisfaction wherever grown. It is very easy of culture and it
must be considered an amateur’s favorite. The conventional
cover of the catalogue will give a fair idea as to the color and
general effectiveness. No one with a garden, no matter how
small, should be without this lovely, useful and rare and
extremely showy annual from Namaqualand, South Africa,
which will soon become a great favorite in all countries on ac-
count of its easy culture and beautifully colored flowers. The
plants, of very branchy habit, grow about 12 to 15 inches high
and are exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its Marguerite-like
blossoms, 2% to 23¢ inches in diameter, show a unique glossy,
rich orange-gold, which brilliant coloring is rendered the more
conspicuous by the dark-colored disc surrounded by a black
zone. This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or bor-
ders; it produces its pretty flowers very early after being
planted out in the open ground in sunny situations and will
continue to flower during the summer months. A bed in full
bloom is a magnificent sight (see illustration). Pkt. 20 cts.,

BODDINGTON’'S Duty SEEDS 9
Boddington’s Flower-Seed Novelties and Specialties
INTRODUCTIONS OF 1908 AND 1909 AND FOR 1910
While every year we look upon the flower-seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less scepticism, we must not
overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or
perhaps more suspicion than the novelties of today.
There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor to select only those we know some-
thing about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The descriptions are those of
the introducers. You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions.
The Gigantic Orchid-Flowering Cosmos,
Lady Lenox
OUR OWN INTRODUCTION (NOVELTY 'os) H.A.
This gigantic Cosmos has succeeded and been admired every-
where. It is of extraordinary size and beauty. Visitors to the floral
exhibitions last autumn were enraptured with its size and magnifi-
cent color. Size of flower 4 to 5 inches in diameter, which is about
three times larger than the ordinary Cosmos. Color a delightful
shell-pink, lighting up beautifully at night. Form of flower, oval
petals of splendid substance, forming a perfectly circular flower
which, when cut, lasts an unusual length of time in water. Habit of
plant, strong and vigorous, growing 6 to 7 feet high. Flowers may
be cut with any length of stem up to 5 feet. Awarded a first-class
Certificate of Merit at New York and all the leading horticu!tural
exhibitions during the fall of 1907. We advise early orders, as stock
is limited. Pkt. 10 cts., “oz. $1, oz. $3.
Asters
The following five beautiful varieties are seedlings of the well-
known Daybreak and Purity, and are bound to find favor with all
lovers of this beautiful class.
(Novelty, ’r0.)
Aster, America (Imp. Pink Daybreak. ) 1 aad
robust grower, producing flowers of the largest size.on very strong,
stiff stems. In color it is somewhat darker than Daybreak, quite
resembling the shade known as old rose. The flowers are of great
substance and very lasting after being cut, more so than most other
varieties. A valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being fully
two weeks later than Daybreak. Its flowers are in perfection with
the late-branching varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., Y%oz. $2.
AO ZA SK OP
| Aster, Salmon King (Salmon Daybreak. )
| In this variety we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak class.
The color is not only novel, but of a very pleasing shade, bright enough
to make it always conspicuous, although modest and unassuming
in appearance. The habit of growth, form of plant and flower are
identical with those of its parent, Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25
cts., %oz. $2.
Aster, Lemon Drop (Yellow Daybreak.) Nk
A real yellow Aster at last. It isa decided yellow, and as good a
grower as any of the other varieties of the Daybreak class. The
flowers are not quiteso largeasthose of Purity, its parent, but are more
perfect and symmetrical in form, in fact the petals are laid so per-
fectly that the flowers have a wax-like appearance. We consider
ourselves very fortunate to be able to introduce a good yellow
Aster. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., “oz. $2.
(Novelty, ro.)
Aster, Rosy Morn (Rose Daybreak.) ee ae
very beautiful variety. The flowers are of a handsome shade of rose,
large, well formed, double to the center and produced in the same
profusion as the other Asters of this class. We consider it one of
the best of the Daybreak type. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.
Aster, Lavender Daybreak. (Novelty, ’09.) HA. Of the
SO many new Asters introduced
of late years, this is the peer of them all. It maytruly be called Per-
fection. The habit of growth is similar to that of Daybreak, but the
flowers are somewhat larger in size, always full to the center and of
a most beautiful shade of lavender. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4 oz. $2.
Collection of the above five grand Novelty Daybreak Asters, 1 pkt.
each for 60 cts., 3 collections for $1.75
10 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
Asters Crego. (Novelty, ’o9.) H.A. The Crego Asters are of
SEE American origin, and are very strong growers,
attaining a height of from 2 to 3 feet, with long, strong stems. The
flowers are of a mammoth Comet type, measuring from 4 to 5 inches
in diameter and resembling large chrysanthemums. We offer the
Crego Asters in the following delightful colors: White, Rose,
Light Pink, Purple, Lavender, Crimson, Mixed. Pkt. 10 cts.,
3 for 25 cts., Yoz. $1.
Aster, Hercules (Rosy Lilac). (Novelty, ’10.) This grand
novelty is the first break
from the Grand White Hercules Aster which we introduced some
years ago. The color is a splendid delicate rosy lilac. The plants
are compact and semi-dwarf, not exceeding 15 to 20 inches in height.
In addition to the enormous flower of the main stem, this Aster pro-
duces five to six long-petaled lateral flowers, measuring 5% to 6%
inches across, of the most perfect form. The Hercules Aster is one
of the grandest varieties of the Giant Hohenzollern type ever intro-
duced, and we are sure that this variety will find favor with all loy-
ers of good Asters. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Aster, Improved Early Branching Semple. Phe
A seedling from that grand old variety Semple’s Pink, which on ac-
count of its earliness will certainly become equally, and we predict,
more popular than its parent.
The color is of the same shade
of bright pink and the habit of
the plant and form of flowers are
identical, being of the same
strong, robust growth and
branching habit. Its greatest
value is in its earliness, bloom-
ing as it does ten days earlier
than Semple’s Pink. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.
Aster, Elegance. (Novel
The following varieties are of a
unique single type, flowers large,

Branching. H.A. A distinct
advance in the’ Branching class,
and now offered for the first time. The Early Branching come into
bloom about two weeks earlier than the Late Branching. The plants
have but few branches and are free from side buds, the whole
strength of the plant being given to the development of the very few
large and perfect flowers which are borne on extra-long stems. We
offer two colors only.

Aster Cactus, Rosy Carmine. beautiful and quite dis-
tinct. Aster Of pyramidal habit, the plants branch a few inches over
the ground and throw out 15 to 20 strong side shoots. The petals,
nearly two inches long, are characterized by being slightly bent or
twisted near the tip, and thus lend to the flower a kind of Cactus-
like aspect. The first color obtained up to date is a brilliant rosy
carmine, a most lovely and effectiveshade. The Cactus Aster blooms
remarkably early and will be of great value for cutting purposes.

Aster, Hercules, Rosy Lilac
Anchusa Italica, Dropmore var.
_ Antirrhinum Majus, Fairy Queen.
Aster( Victoria), Carmen, (Novelty,’09.) H.A. An entirely
— new and distinct color, which
appears for the first time in Asters, and may perhaps be best de-
scribed as dark salmon, besnowed with white. It is a surprisingly
handsome and pleasing shade and when viewed in bright sunshine
the effect of the hoary-tipped red blooms is quite indescribable. Pkt.

Aster, Early Wonder. (Novelty, ’08.) H.A. This is the ear-
plies liest Aster in cultivation, blooming
several days before Queen of the Market, with pure white flowers

has created so much sensation as Aster Victoria, Miss Roosevelt, by
its delicate and unique color. We have now in the Giant Comet the
same shade, which is greatly valued for cutting purposes, and is now
proved quite true. We _ have
pleasure in introducing this as a
novelty of great beauty and im-
portance. Pkt. 25c., 5 pkts. for $1.
Aster, Diadem. (Novelty,
———— — ——— 08.) B.A.
A lovely Aster of strikingly at-
tractive appearance and the lat-
est flowering variety. The plant
grows about to inches high, is of
pyramidal and compact habit,
much branched, and bears a
profusion of double flowers of
rather small size, measuring 1%
to 1% inches in diameter; these
are quite unique in color, two or
three outer rows of petals being
pure white, and forming a dis-
tinctly defined band or margin,
in charming contrast to the in-
ner petals, which are bright rosy
crimson, deepening to rich pur-
ple-crimson toward the center.

cluding spotted, marbled, blotched and self-col-
ored varieties. The herbaceous Calceolaria is
an easily cultivated plant. So long as frost is
excluded from the plants in winter they are per-
fectly safe, and to attempt to hasten growth at
any time is a failure. July is the best month
for sowing the seed. ‘%pkt. 6o cts., pkt. $1, six

ding. Asa greenhouse plant this will be invalu-
able, but as a hardy herbaceous plant it will
take a high position for its glorious coloring,
golden yellow, and for the length of time it con-
tinues in bloom. Not only has it stood out-of-
doors in Devonshire, England, but the plants
which were grown at the Royal Horticultural

novelty we offer is a
great improvement over the well-known Salvia Patens. The very
robust-growing plants are extremely free flowering. If sown early
under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of 18 inches, begin to
bloom in early July. On account of the very compact and regularly
formed plants, it produces an unusual number of flower stems, on
which you will always find from three to five open flowers. The plants
are so much more compact and dwarf than the type that the flower
stems are considerably longer and freer, surmounting luxuriant dark
green foliage. On account of the rare color, namely, navy blue, this
novelty, no doubt, is extremely desirable and should be one of the
best fall flowers for the garden. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1.

Zinnias, Boddington’s Quality. #4. When our_repre-
sentative was in Europe,
the past summer, he took particular pains to inspect the growing
crops of Dwarf Zinnias, and secured a stock of the finest strain he
saw in England, flowers measured 3% to 4 and sometimes 5 inches
in diameter, and he counted nearly 300 petals upon some of the flow-
ers. It isnot generally known that so-called Dwarf Zinnias will reach
nearly 3 feet some seasons. Customers desiring a real Dwarf Zinnia
for bedding should select the Lilliput on page 61, which does not
exceed more than 12 inches.

A Few Hints for the Successful Growing of Annuals
For most of the ordinary annual flowers, the simplest method is to sow directly out-of-doors in the space where they are intended to
flower. The ground should be dug and raked fine on the surface, sowing the seeds evenly and thinly, either in lines or beds, covering not
over four times their size, and firming the soil over them. Thin out so that the plants will stand from 4 to 12 inches apart, according to the
variety. This planisalso adapted to many varieties usually started indoors. including Asters, Verbenas, Celosias, Stocks, Salvias, etc. For all
flower seeds which should be started indoors, the best plan is to sow in earthenware seed-pans, pots or boxes (about 2 inches deep), which
should be filled to the depth of an inch with broken pots, coal-ashes or any rough material that will furnish perfect drainage. Sow the seeds
thinly over the surface, covering about one-eighth of an inch and pressing firmly; cover with a pane of glass or one or two thicknesses of
newspaper, to prevent the too rapid evaporation of the moisture, and keep in a temperature between 60° and 70°. Water carefully as
needed. Remove the glass or covering after the seeds have germinated, and when the seedlings are large enough to handle they should be
transplanted into similarly prepared hoxes an inch apart each way, or put into small pots and kept in same until time to plant out in the
open ground. At all times they should have an abundance of air; otherwise the voung seedlings are liable to ‘““damp off.”

Antirrhinums; or Snapdragons, are among the most showy of flowers

very popular. If sown under glass during February or March they will
commence to bloom in July, and will so continue till frost. The tall or
giant varieties are extremely useful for cutting, while the dwarf kinds
are exceptionally adapted for borders and edging of beds of annuals or
other plants. Also now grown extensively under glass for winter-
flowering. car

many new, beautiful and pleasing shades and combinations, and most
effective and striking contrast in the individual flowers, ranging
through all shades of lavender, blue, mauve, white, yellow, orange,
scarlet and bright rose-pink. The plants are perfectly hardy, vigorous
and stately in growth, producing abundantly during May and June,
large and elegantly shaped flowers with long spurs, which, being borne
well above the pale glaucous green foliage, have a charming effect, and
being so light and elegant are much esteemed for cutting. The seed is
American-grown—upon one of the largest estates—and is specially
selected and harvested for me with a view of distributing an article of
real merit, of these pretty perennials. Seed sown early will flower the
first year. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.

CHOICE ASTERS OF RECENT INTRODUCTION
The following varieties have all been tried, and from personal observation and report are worthy and will become standards in their
respective classes.
Daybreak. Flowers very
large and double,
of a beautiful shell-pink color.
This is a grand Aster for cutting
purposes, growing 2 feet high. The
best late market Aster of its color
to date. Pkt. 1octs., Yoz. $1.
The Favorite. 4” aristocrat
among the
Comet Asters. Color beautiful
blush, changing to rich deep pink
as the flower becomes older; the

sized blooms of beautiful form; in-
valuable for cutting. Pkt. 10 cts.,
Yoz. $1.

Purity. ful of the Branching

ing pure white; similar to Day-
break in form and habit of growth.

tration.)

of a clear primrose tint, whichafter

Japanese chrysanthemums. Pkt.
10 cts., %oz. 50 cts.
Snowdrift Certainly the earli-
———— est Aster in culti-
vation. The leaves are narrow and
sparse, and the branches spring
from close to the ground. The en-
tire energy of the plant seems given
to the production of 12 to 20 long,
slender, upright stems, crowned
with immense feathery flowers.
The long, recurved petals give the
flowers an exceedingly graceful
effect, heightened in many cases
by the ragged, irregular character
a the petals in the center of the
flower. Pkt. 10 cts., %oz. 50 cts.

cutting purposes. Pkt. 25 cts., 5
pkts. for $1.
The
Vick’s Violet King.
peer

a very strong stem, 15 to 20 inches
high, which begins to branch about
4 inches from the ground, and
bears at its summit the main cen-
tral flower, while on the side-shoots
appear four to six secondary
blooms. The latter, borne on re-
markably strong stalks, are all the

as 7 inches. Pkt. Io cts., oz.
50 cts.
Cardinal. The color, is as its
= name implies, a
beautiful shade of cardinal. The
growth is similar to the Branching
Asters, but some dwarfer, but not
so dwarf as to prevent its being one
of the very best varieties for cut-
ting purposes. The flowering sea-
son begins about the middle of
August and the flowers retain their
brilliant coloring for many weeks.
Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.

elegant tufted leafage and grace-
ful spikes of deep rose-violet or

semble, on a larger scale, those of

Calceolaria Hybrida, Boddington’s Perfection
The herbaceous Calceolaria is an easily cultivated plant. So long
as frost is excluded from the plants in winter they are perfectly safe,
and to attempt to hasten growth at any time is a failure. July is the
best month for sowing the seed. The great advance made in the
habit of the strains offered is remarkable, whilst in the colors there
is a marked improvement. Saved by England’s most famous spe-
cialists. Monster flowers of rich and varied colors, including spotted,
laced, blotched and self-colored varieties. %pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1.

which bloom from the end of
June until cut down by autumn

ties are fragrant, and all are profuse in bloom. Sow outdoors in
April, where they are to bloom, and thin well when the plants grow
about an inch. Sow again in a month, and late in July for fall flow-
ers. Give rich soil and water freely.

summer-blooming plants. The bushes are about 4 feet high, and are covered with large,
beautiful flowers of the formand fragrance of Centaurea Margaret. The flowers will keep

| Boddington’s Matchless Cinerarias
In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistake so often made is that
of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sow-
ing in May and June plants large enough for all decorative purposes
can be had. In after-treatment the aim should be to secure as hard a
growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are best.

Glaucium leiocarpum HP.
This new Horn-poppy from Asia Minor is doubtless the showiest and most effective
species of the whole genus. When sown early in the open ground like larkspurs, etc.,
the plants form many-branched bushes from 15 to 18 inches in height, developing their
large, fine-
shaped flow-
ers from beginning
of June incessantly to
August. The indi
vidual flowers, 2 to
2% inches across, are
of the most brilliant
deep orange-scarlet
with large black
spots at the base of
the petals, a striking
and very rich color-
ing. Foliage glaucous-green. On account of the slow germina-
tion of the seed, spring sowings should not be made later than
in February or beginning of March; autumn sowings always suc-
ceed better. Pkt. 25 cts.

These very remarkable Gloxinias have, by careful
selection, now been so far fixed that 4o per cent of the
seedlings come true. The ground color of the large,
erect and widely-opened flowers is a velvety purple-
crimson, with a rosy white throat. On the often seven-
lobed corolla appear more or less sharply defined
bands, spots and stripes, characteristic of this new
class, the latter mostly of a violet hue. We have here ~
quite a bizarre type of the popular and now so highly
erfected Gloxinia, which cannot fail to interest all
riends of gesneraceous plants. Pkt. 75c.,3 pkts. for $2,

This strikingly beautiful decorative plant at-

blotch at the base of each petal. They are only
ephemeral, but are borne in large numbers and
quick succession, and make a splendid display
for a long time. In habit the plant resembles the
ricinus, with deep green leaves, which render it
very ornamental even when not in flower. It is
very effective in pots for greenhouse decoration,

Although a perennial, we advise the treatment
of a half-hardy annual. Pkt. 50 cts.

pure white to the darkest red. Are easily the
most attractive feature in the garden. Holly-

and should be lightly protected during the win-
ter months with coarse straw or spruce boughs.
For distinct effect in large groups they are

Matchless Giant Primulas
PRIMULA SINENSIS
Our Primula Sinensis seed has been specially grown for us
by the must celebrated English Primula specialist. The flowers
are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the
colors, but for the great substance of the petals. Considerable
care is necessary in order to secure the successful germination
of the seed of the choice kinds of P. Sinensis. The most suit-
able periods for sowing are January to May for autumn, and
June to August for spring blooming. Shallow pans, well
drained, are the best, the soil consisting of sandy loam and
leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve; the pans when thus pre-
pared, should be well watered before the seed is sown. Only a
slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be
guarded against is drought; the soil should be kept in as equa-
ble degree of moisture as possible, never
being on the dry side. We attribute more
failures to this cause than to any other.
Just at the time when the seed commences
to germinate the least departure from this
is fatal.

PRIMULA OBCONICA GIGANTEA
The following varieties are vast improvements on the old type
of P. obconica, being freer flowering and of sturdier habit. In
haoit and foliage they resemble the beautiful P. corlusoides,
and it is one of the most useful Primulas for pot culture or for
the open border during the summer months. To obtain good
plants for winter and early spring flowering, the seed should
be sown in warmth the previous April or May, and wintered in
a cool greenhouse or frame.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY SWEET PEAS
Arranged alphabetically. For full description, see pages 54 to 57
THE CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS By the Rev. McGee Pratt, the well-known authority on Sweet Peas. Dig a trench 1 foot
* deep and 1 foot wide; at bottom tramp down 3 inches manure, then place 4 inches good
soil, also firmed down well. Sow Peas in double row, not too thick, and cover with earth to top of trench. If firmed to 1 inch below the sur-
face, it does best in a dry season. Never draw soil on top of the growing vines; it settles in the crown formed just above the ground, holds
water and rots the plant, and the dead vine is then believed to suffer from the blight. All Peas should be well firmed in well-pulverized soil.
The greatest enemy to young Sweet Peas is the cutworm, and they are so destructive as to prevent some people from ever having a
good stand of Sweet Peas. They usually take the young shoots just as they come up, and while some plants will send out new shoots and
grow again after being cut off, most of them are cut too far down and are ruined. A sprinkling of lime over the row sometimes helps to keep
out the cutworms. A handful of grass, dipped in a solution of Paris green, will sometimes attract the worms and the poison kills them.
N. B.—To have success with Sweet Peas, sow as soon as frost Is out of the ground

The preceding list of Sweet Peas contains all the most up-to-date varieties, including the first fifty (50) selected varieties of the largest
grower of Sweet Pea seed in the world. Older varieties have been superseded by all the foregoing, and customers ordering Sweet Pea
seed should kindly give us permission to substitute for any variety not catalogued, or, if necessary, we will use our utmost endeavor to
procure the variety ordered.
The New Orchid-flowering Sweet Pea, *Countess of Spencer Hybrids
In these we have a new distinct type and form in Sweet Peas. The flower-stems are unusually long and the flowers are so arranged on
the stem that there is a graceful fluffiness to a bunch of them in distinct contrast to the ordinary kinds of Sweet Peas. So far many colors
have developed in this grand type, some of these sport or change more or less in flowering. The wings and standards of the flowers are very
large, and its graceful form, with the immense size, make it certain to supersede all older kinds of Sweet Peas, as fast as standard colors
appear and become fixed. The Spencer Hybrids are all marked with a star (*).
Boddington’s Quality Collections and Mixtures of Sweet Peas

BODDINGTON'S PINK BEAUTY
Very distinct delicate pink flowers. A beautiful variety. Pkt. 15 cts.,
oz. $2.
SUTTON'S SCARLET
A still more remarkable color than our Pink Beauty, from which this
variety has been selected. The flowers are of an intense scarlet, similar to
that of Grenadin Carnation. A bed in the distance produces a vivid effect.
Seed scarce. Pkt. 50 cts.
Hybrid Sweet Williams (Dianthus latifolius)
These hybrids are the result of a cross between the annual China Pinks
and Sweet Williams, retaining most of the characteristics of the latter.
They form compact, bushy plants, with fine heads of double flowers, and
flower almost as quickly from seed as the China Pinks.

Viola (Scotch, or Tufted Pansies)
The Scotch Violas, or Tufted Pansies, have of late years been
greatly appreciated. There are a great number of varieties, varying
in color from pale lavender to deep rich purple, with many charming
intermediate shades. They are very free-flowering, and cannot be
| surpassed for bedding purposes; in light, rich soil and a moist situa-
tion they will continue to bloom from spring till late in the autumn.
They are also useful for ribbon borders, where they make a fine dis-
play. We have been repeatedly asked for seed of these most beauti-
ful Violas, so offer the following, which we consider the finest for
all purposes.

We make it a point to deliver nothing but absolutely fresh seeds of
the different varieties of Palm Seeds, shipments of which we are
constantly receiving from various parts of the tropics. Asthe various
varieties ripen at different seasons of the year, we have indicated
below, as nearly as possible, when each sort will arrive, and as these
seeds loose their germination very quickly, we earnestly solicit orders
in advance.

The perennial varieties, many of which have beautifully variegated
foliage, are valuable for borders and clumps on lawns or among
shrubs. The annual sorts are chiefly grown for their elegant flower
panicles, which are useful in bouquet work and for dried flowers.

short index
such of the leading English names as are distinct from the botanical ones, and could not be quickly found by those unacquainted with the
latter. It will, of course, be understood that each seed will be found in the catalogue under the head of the latin name, printed in italics in

A FEW POINTERS ON THE GROWING OF ANNUAL ASTERS
It is best to never plant in the same location the second season. Give plenty of room, rows 2% or 3 feet apart, and from 12 to 15 inches
apart in the rows; the distance to be regulated by the growth of the variety planted.
Pulverized sheep manure, wood-ashes and phosphate are the best fertilizers. If stable manure is used, let it be well decomposed.
In order to secure plants of good size for April and May, the seed should be sown in early March. For the grower’s own use as a cut-
flower, the seed may be sown from the first week in March until the end of April, beginning with the Early Queen of the Market, following
with the mid-season varieties and ending with the late branching varieties. There is nothing to be gained by sowing aster seed too
early, as seed sown in January will not bloom a day earlier than seed sown in March or April, nor will the plants be as tall, healthy or flori-
ferous. Early sowings of seed are best made in flats in the greenhouse; later sowings may be made in hotbeds or coldframes or sunny win-
dows. Do not cover the seed too deep. Seed may be sown broadcast or in drills, and covered with a little less than % ofan inch of soil.
Root-lice or root-aphis, cutworms, the aster bug or fly and rust or yellows are the worst pests and disease that we have to contend with
_in growing asters.
For the root-lice and cutworm, kerosene emulsion, tobacco water, wood-ashes mixed with water, are all good and effective if applied
around the roots.
For the aster bug or fly, sprinkle the plants with air-slaked lime and Paris green, which holds them in check. The proportion should
be 1 pound of Paris green to 100 pounds of air-slaked lime.
The yellows or rust is a fungus which appears on the under side of the leaf, and is one of the worst diseases that the’grower of asters has
to contend with. But this fungus can easily be held in check by spraying the under side of the plants with a solution composed of carbonate
of copper, ammonia and water in the proportion of one pound of carbonate of copper, one pint of ammonia and one barrel of water. Use this
preparation at once, if the fungus appear, and use every alternate day until the plants have had several applications; this will kill the
fungus.
“The aster blight is generally caused by the work of some of the above insects, and if at any time the plants get too badly diseased, the
best thing to do is to pull them up and burn them.
The Hollyhock Disease
For the past years the Hollyhock has been the victim of a virulent form of disease (Puccinea malvacearum) which has wrought great
havoc amongst them by destroying all their foliage and rendering them very unsightly just when coming into flower; this has baffled many
in their attempts to grow them. In o1der to check the spread of this fungus we recommend the following remedy, which is being used with
satisfactory results:
To 1 lb. of tobacco powder add % oz. of finely powdered sulphate of copper, well mixed; dust the under surface of the foliage (or wher-
ever attacked) with the powder every two or three weeks during the growing season, choosing a dull, still day for the operation; this
will be found effectual.
Should there be any difficulty in procuring the mixture, we can supply it direct in 1 lb. packets at 25 cts. per Ib., 10 Ibs. for $2.
We are agents for Sutton & Sons, “The King’s Seedsmen,”’
England, and are much indebted to them for many illustrations
appearing in this Garden Guide. We will send their catalogue and
amateur guide free to our customers upon request, or will send same
to inquirers for 50 cents, mailed free.

Boddington’s Novelties and Specialties in Vegetable Seeds
The following are a selection of the best and most recent novelties, selected from most reliable sources, for their advancement upon exist-
ing types, all worthy of a place in the up-to-date kitchen garden, and for exhibition purposes,
Apart from these offerings, we specially de-
sire to call the attention of customers and prospective buyers to the general list of vegetables following. If in doubt, ‘go by the rule,” that
is the heavy line under the variety; these are the best in their class, and by adhering to the rule you will have a most successful garden.
Alkekengi (Physalis edulis)
This is the well-known Cape Gooseberry and should be grown a
great deal more than it has been in the United States. It is an ex-
cellent variety for preserving, and in fact, is a real Wonder Berry.
This variety should not be confounded with Physalis pubescens,
known as Husk Tomato. It should, however, receive similar treat-
ment when growing, that is, it should be grown as a tomato. .
‘“This particular form of the species cultivated in our gardens is
that which was described and figured by Sims in 1807 as Physalis
edulis the edible Physalis. Sims’ account says that this plant is
a native of Peru and Chili, but is cultivated at the Cape of Good
Hope, in some parts of the East Indies, and more especially at the
English settlement of New
South Wales, at which latter
place it is known by the
name of the Cape Gooseberry,
and is the chief fruit the colo-
nists at present possess; is
eaten raw or made into pies,
puddings or preserves.”’ Pkt.

BEANS
Carpintera___(Green-
seeded Large Pole
1 These Beans are
Lima.) the product of two
vines which appeared as
sports in a crop of Burpee’s
Improved Bush Lima. Their
superiority attracted atten-
tion and they were saved for
stock seed. The vine is very
strong, of vigorous growth;
is a broad-seeded Bean and
much thicker than the ordi-
nary pole lima. The green
tint is a distinctive feature of
this Bean, for it retains this
tint in the dry state toa great-
er extent than usual, which in-
dicates the fine qualities
which it possesses, being
finely flavored and more ten-
der when cooked than white-
seeded Beans; thereby mak-
ing it more pleasing to gar-
deners and housekeepers. It
is the most perfect Pole Lima

attractive appearance and great productiveness. The plant grows
larger and has heavier foliage than the Golden Wax, and produces
an abundant crop of large, meaty pods, which are of a bright golden-
yellow color, exceedingly attractive and very uniform in color and
shape. The new Bean will, no doubt, prove of exceptional value, as
there has been a demand for a white-seeded Wax Bean of good
quality. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. gocts., ’pk. $1.50, pk. $2.50.
Pencil-Pod Black Wax. P!ants of true bush growth, 15

is both light and short, and the
neck very fine. The flesh is
of a beautiful transparent red

BODDINGTON'S ~-
Helianti. Te wonderful new winter vegetable. The greatest ad-
——_ dition to the vegetable kingdom for many years.
complete substitution in taste for fresh asparagus. Yields half as
much again as the potato.
DESCRIPTION.—Helianti is a hybrid of the sunflower family. It
attains a height of 10 feet or more, is very ornamental with its deep
green foliage and produces an abundance of bright yellow flowers.
Its important economic use, however, is the edible root tubers. It has
been found absolutely unaffected by extreme heat and by severest
cold, and it, therefore, can be grown in any part of this continent.
It will thrive in any kind of soil—from the wettest to the driest—but
it responds quickly to generous treatment, and it should be grown
in good garden soil for best results.
THE CULfURE.—Is very easy; plant the tubers in the
spring in rows about 3 feet apart each way, and hill the
plants up once before laying them by.
THE HARVEST AND STORAGE are just as simple. After
the stems have become dry in late fall,
plow the tubers up just like potatoes
and store them in a pit like sweet pota-
toes, or in a cellar or barn, covering
them with alayer of moistsand. Where
winters are not so severe, the tubers
may be even left in the field and dug
as needed. In that case a light mulch-
ing is advisable. If any tubers should
dry out in storage, the soaking in water
for a few hours will soon restore their
fresh appearance and taste.
THE TASTE OF HELIANTI is rather
difficult to define. It has been pretty
well described as resembling somewhat
that of French artichokes, and then
again of asparagus, with a distinct fla-
vor of mushrooms. There is not the
least doubt that Helianti will soon be
one of the most popular vegetables in
this country, as it has already made its
place in many countries of Europe, be-
cause itcombines easy digestibility with
good flavor and productiveness, per-
mitting of a reasonable market price.
THE PREPARATION OF HELIANTI
FOR THE TABLE is simple in its rudi-
ments. There are, of course, hundreds
of ways open tothe ingenious housewife,
but we will mention here a few of the
very simplest only. Scrape the tubers, soak in cold
water (this is important as it retains the white-
ness of the meat) and cook quickly after adding
the usual condiments. Or, boil soft in salted
water and serve with butter and freshly chopped
parsley. Or, cut up and fry the tubers, when
they excel French-fried potatoes in taste. Tubers,
25 cts. each, 10 for $1.60, 25 for $2.50, postpaid ;
50 for $4, 100 for $6.50, 250 for $14, 500 for $25,
1,000 for $45.
Cos, or Romaine Lettuce, Sutton’s
; An entirely distinct and most
Little Gem. valuable Cos Lettuce. Dwarf
and compact in growth and a beautiful color.
The solid hearts, which stand for a considerable time be-
fore running to seed, are always appreciated by those
who prefer a small, crisp Lettuce. May be sown both in
spring and autumn. Pkt. 1octs., %oz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts.
Mushroom Spawn Setts, The compost of which these
setts are made is specially
treated under a high temperature, to destroy all vegetable
and animal life before being inoculated with the spawn. This
process prevents any kind of inedible fungi growing from the
sets. The mycelium appears to be very strong and active in
these setts. Compared with the old-fashioned brick of spawn,
a certain amount of waste is avoided, as the setts are intro-
duced into the bed in a whole state without being broken.
They are made about 2 inches across, the right size for inser-
tion. The manufacturer, who is himself a grower, states that
he has every confidence in placing this new article on the
market. 25 sets $1.50, 50 sets $2.50, 100 sets $4. f
Melon, Sutton’s Superb. (Frame or greenhouse va- |
ooo Tiety.) Flesh green, ex-
ceedingly thick, melting and rich in flavor; skin grayish in
tone, closely netted. This variety, for its beauty and high
quality, has won a prominent position as a dessert and exhi-
bition fruit. This is the variety spoken of so highly by Mr.
Wm. Turner, Oceanic, N. J., last summer, in the Florists’
Exchange. Pkt. 50cts, and 75 cts.
Tomato, Bod.’s Early Sunrise

Orache, or Mountain Spinach, Chenopodium.
(Bonus Henricus, Goosefoot, Good King Henry)
Last summer we had an inquiry from one of our southern customers
for Chenopodium Amaranticolor, which was written about by M.
de Bois, in the Revue Horticole, as having great culinary possibili-
ties. On writing to our correspondent in France, he stated that
seed of this variety could not be procured in commercial quantities,
but they could offer the above variety. This plant makes an excel-
lent Spinach for the summertime and stands the heat well in any
climate. We take pleasure in offering it as follows, and should be
pleased to answer further questions regarding it. Pkt. 10 cts., oz.
25 cts., lb. $3.
Apart from the above, we offer red and white Orache, which are
allied plants belonging to the Chenopo-
diacea, although not Chenopodium.
Orache, Red or White. Each, pkt. 5
cts., oz. 15 cts., lb. $1.50. The above va-
rieties should be treated and grown as
spinach.
Pea Early Morn.” (See illustration
ee _ page 67.) An
English variety of the Gradus type with
many desirable qualities. In our
trial grounds it matured about the
same time as Gradus, and bore large
handsome pods in profusion. The
peas are large, closely packed in
the pod, and the flavor is sweet and
delicious. Those who know the good
qualities of Gradus will not be dis-
riety. This grand introduction
maintains its position as one of the
best early Marrowfat Peas ever
raised. Although so early, the seed
should not be sown until the soil is
ina fit state to receive it ear y in
April, as it isa rapid grower. The
pods are very large and well filled,
and are often ready to pick during
’June. Height about 3 feet. Pkt. 10

Pepper, Boddington’s Red
This fine new variety is dis-
Apple. tinguished from all others by
the extraordinary thickness of its flesh.
It belongs to the mild-flavored section
and is excellent for the table. The ripe
fruits are smooth, and of a splendid bril-
liant darkscarlet. Average about 4 inches
in length and 3 inches in width at the top.
Pkt. 20 cts., 3 for 50 cts.
Tomato, June Pink. This is the
— earliest va-
riety of Tomato, and appeals especially
to those who like the pink color. The
fruits grow in clusters and begin to ma-
ture very early, measure 3 inchesin diameter and
are of excellent quality. It bears for a long sea-
son, until vines are killed by frost. It is really
a pink Earliana, being identical in growth and
shape. Pkt. to cts., oz. 40 cts., 4b. $1.25.
Tomato, Boddington’s Early
Sunrise.
Considered by a private gardener the finest
Tomato to date.
The chief points in Sunrise are:
Its earliness.—It was exhibited in full fruit on
July 4.
Its cropping properties.—See illustration.
Its healthy constitution.—No trace of disease.
Its solid but delicate flesh.—Contains few seeds.
Its evenness in size as a dessert fruit.
Its bright scarlet color and rich acid flavor.
Its equal value for indoor or outdoor cultivation. »

BODDINGTON’S
Boddington’s Patish-Grown Peas
One quart will plant about 25 feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring
brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; and continue, for a suc-
cession, every two weeks until June. Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown
thicker than the round Peas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot.
For the past years we have handled, almost exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season
have been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Peas can
always berelied upon as absolutely true, free from “rogues,” hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater strength
and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop.

early work. This variety is a first-early cropper, producing deep green pods of the well-known Gradus type, but, on account of
its hardy constitution, may be sown early to great advantage in order to obtain very early results in the spring. It is a vigorous,
branching plant, growing 3 feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a large proportion of pods in pairs, which
contain fine, deep green peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes: ‘‘I want to saya word in favor of your

Edwin Beckett. In general character it
resembles the former, but the pods are
considerably larger than either parent.
In our own trials it has amply demon-
strated its wonderful superiority, and
when exhibited in the open class at

The Garden Pea Novelty
of 1909
‘Boddington’s
Mammoth
Marrowfat
This undoubtedly is the largest
Pea in cultivation, with larger pods
than any Pea heretofore intro-
duced—pods running from 6 to 7
inches in length—filled with peas
not unduly large, of the true mar-
rowfat flavor.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT may be considered
a second-early or main-crop Pea;
the height is from 5 to 6 feet.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT is a heavy cropper
and exceedingly prolific, the pods
hanging mostly in pairs; the con-
stitution is wonderfully vigorous
and hardy, far excelling, in this
respect, many of the marrow va-
rieties ; the color of both pods and
haulm is a rich, velvety green,—
to be exact, one might call it a
Mammoth Alderman.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT, where sent out for
test last season, gave excellent re-
sults and created a profound sensa-
tion; hence, while the stock is
limited, we take great pleasure in Boddington’s Mummnth Marromiee eas
offering it this season. - (Natural size)
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH MARROWFAT is a grand exhibition variety ; it is unbeatable for this purpose.

The varieties of this class are tender, and wili not bear much cold. Plant about the middle of April, if
the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finish-
ing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart
and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry;
working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.

WHAT QUALITY
MEANS
Quality means the best and finest
types procurable in their respective
classes. We go to specialists for our
vegetable seeds. Our customers, the
grower and the private gardener, de-
mand the highest grade. We have
no cheap catalogue trade, ‘‘Quality’”’
may mean a little higher price.
“Quality,” in fact, means ‘‘quality,’’
and we know that when you buy
from us you get it,—and our cus-
tomers know it too.

BUSH LIMA BEANS
The ‘* Burpee-Improved” Bush Lima
is an entirely, ‘New Creation.’”” The pods are truly enormous in
size, borne in great abundance upon bushes 2% feet high by 2 feet
across. The Beans are both larger and thicker than those of the
popular Burpee’s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole
Lima. An expert’s opinion: “‘ This is the finest Bush Lima that has
ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and 20 to 24 inches
high with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very pro-
lific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven
pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod con-
tains three, four or five beans, and there are more pods containing
five than there are containing three beans; so that there is an im-
provement of from one to two beans in each pod, and this, taken
with the great number of pods borne, makes the yield enormous. In
quality this Bean ranks with the very best and the beans are of large
size. In earliness it comes before Henderson’s and Burpee’s Bush,
and is about a week earlier than the latter. This Bean is bound to
be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima—a continuous bearer.”’

(Selected.) Remarkablyearly. Ex-

always solid, tender and delicious
flavor. This extra-early variety, al-
though comparatively new, has been
pretty widely distributed, and we
have yet to hearanything but praise
about its fine quality and other mer-
its ; itis, in fact, an ideal snap Bean,
’ producing a fine crop of round,
straight, solid, fleshy podsaveraging
6% inches long, wonderfully tender
and brittle, without a trace of tough
interlining, and having no string
when broken, excepting when the
pods are quiteold. The flavor is most
delicious, captivating the most criti-
cal, while the delicate green color of
the pods is retained after cooking,
adding to its attraction when served.
The plants are of robust, compact
habit, unexcelled in bearing quali-
ties, maturing the crop very regu-
larly. It is extra early, the pods
being fit to pick fourdays in advance

The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground has
become warm; for a succession continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hiils 3 feet
apart each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants to a hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the
row and 2% feet between the rows. In elevated and mountainous districts we would recommend the Early and Second Early sorts only,
and plantings to be made not later than June Twentieth to July First.

First of Al] (Burpee-) It matures from three days to a week

Golden Bantam Thevfact that the grains of this variety are
yellow is an indication of hardiness and its
value for early planting and early maturity. It is a rapid grower,
and produces ears measuring about 5 inches, but the smailness of
ears is fully made up by the deliciously sweet flavor and tender qual-
ity of the Corn when cooked. It isa fine variety for the home garden.

out to three. Pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. They prefer a light, rich soil.
Cole’s Early. Ripens delicious Melons in northern states,
———$—_—_—_._ where Melons never matured before. Just as val-
uable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks before
any other. This is the finest Watermelon for the family garden.
People, particularly in our northern states, can now enjoy, from the
beginning to the close of the season, most delicious Watermelons,
for Cole’s Early is not only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it
continues to bear throughout the season. The beautiful bright red
flesh is crisp and of delicate texture—granulated, cool and spark-
ling. In flavor it is lusciously sweet and refreshing. The Melons are
not large, seldom over 12 inches in length by g inches in diameter,
but what they lack in size is more than made up in number and
solidity. The heart is large, there is little or no cavity, and very
few seeds—all solid flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to
the rind. It can be grown successfully over a larger latitude than
any other Watermelon, and it will mature large crops in northern
states when the season is as long as that of New York. Pkt. 5 cts.,

as early in spring as practicable, it: shallow drills 1 foot apart, covering with fine soil, which should be pressed down by the use of a light

PEPPER
Pfeffer
Peppers are indispensable as
a seasoning for soups and meats.
The large varieties are mainly
used for this purpose and pick-
ling. The mild, sweet varieties,
like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are used
for mangoes, while the small-fruited sorts are
the best for sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March
or April, or in a warm, sheltered border in
May, and, when season is favorable, trans-
plant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in
row, in good, rich ground.
Boddington’s Selected Chinese
Giant. Double the size of Ruby King, this
—— is one of the largest and finest mild
red Peppers. Not only is it intensely pro-
ductive, but “it is as sweet as an apple,’’ and
unusually thick-skinned. Pkt. 5 cts.. oz. 25

£
———— Sscmonge the
Pepper fruits. The new Pepper Hercules pro-
duces the biggest fruits of all mild, edible
kinds hitherto known. The fruit has solid
flesh of good flavor and of a magnificent gold-
en yellow color. The plant grows uncom-
monly strong and is extremely productive. There are often at the
same time a dozen well-shaped fruits on one plant. Its’ value is still
increased by the upright growing of the fruits. They are conse-
quently more exposed to the sun, maturing earlier; and even dur-
ing wet weather they cannot become so easily rotted as the kinds
with hanging fruits, which come too easily in contact with the soil.
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., (lb. $1.50.
Early Neapolitan. This comparatively new variety is nearly
———— = two weeks earlier than any other large
mild Pepper. Fruit may be gathered the last of June from seed sown
early in spring. The first fruits average 4% inches in circumference
by 4 inches long—the latter fruits growing a little larger; they are
thick-meated and unusually mild and sweet. The flesh and skin are
bright red. The plants are of sturdy, vigorous growth, about 18
inches high and remarkably productive, frequently carrying 30 to 40
handsome fruits, and continue fruiting throughout the season. For
slicing, pickles, mangoes, etc., Early Neapolitan is highly prized.
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.
Spanish Bull. (Novelty ’o9.) The long, brilliant scarlet fruits
of Spanish Bull Pepper hang elegantly from the
tall plant, which resembles a small tree, the well-shaped fruits be-
ing of an extraordinary length. Besides they distinguish themselves
by a thin skin, a great quantity of pulp and the extreme mildness of
their flavor, qualities not only very valuable for dinner-tables, but
also for the manufacture of preserves. The Spanish Bull Pepper is
a variety which excels almost all other known kinds of Pepper as to
delicacy and flavor. It will certainly soon become very popular and
get the preference over all other mild kinds. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.
Upright Sweet Salad. Of recent introduction. Handsome,
productive and of finest quality.
The color is bright scarlet and the flesh thick, mild and very sweet.
The Peppers are as large as Ruby King and are all borne upright,
clear of the ground. The flesh is so thick and the skin so tender
that it may be fried like a beefsteak. and so sweet that it may be
eaten like an apple. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

Sow as early in the spring as the weather will admit, in drills 15

leaving them in the ground over winter for spring use. Secure
enough in pits or cellars for immediate needs. Valuable for feeding

RADISH
Radiejhen, Rettig RaApis, RAVE, PETITE RAVE Rabano
For an early supply sow in January or February in hotbeds, keeping
well ventilated. In May they may be sown out-of-doors. Successive sow-
ings should be made every two weeks. Radishes, to be crisp and tender,
should make a rapid growth.
i 4 The best early forcing Radish, Pkt.
Boddington’s Early Frame. [px yest eat ore ib §1 60.
Crimson Giant. This variety is suitable both for forcing or early
—\|\_——_— planting out-of-doors. A remarkable feature of this
Radish is that it will grow double the size of other round red forcing Rad-
ishes and still remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hollow.
In shape this new Radish is round to oval, and is very attractive. The
flesh is mild and tender, and we recommend it to our customers as one of
the best in its class, having found it to be such in our extensive trials of
Radishes. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., (1b. 50 cts., lb. $1.50.
Cooper’s Sparkler. A quite distinct new sort of a beautiful rich
— scarmine-scariect color, with a pronounced tip
of pure white. The roots even when fully developed are solid, crisp and
sweet. Equally good for forcing or for the open ground. Pkt. 10 cts., oz.
25 cts., 4% 1b. 75 cts., lb. $2.
Giant Butter. New Forcing Radish, round, short - leaved,
SC seariet (Novelty, 09). One of its most prominent
features is the perfect regularity of its fine round shape and its very small
tap-root. A further improvement gained by careful selection consists in its
being very short-leaved and of a vivid scarlet coloration. The tastefulness
of its tender and crisp flesh is unrivaled and will be acknowledged by every
one who has compared this, my introduction, with other varieties. ‘* Giant
Butter ’’ does not, in spite of its uncommon size, become hollow and pithy,
but keeps crisp and juicy for weeks, even longer than any other kind. Ow-
ing to its short leaves it may now be successfully used for forcing. Its size,
of course, demands a broader as well asa deeper sowing which will but
recompensate by a good crop, as five or six Radishes generally have a Early Scarlet Globe-Shaped Radishes
weight of one pound. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.

This is an improved strain of the old White Bush Sauash, the

TURNIP

For early Turnips, sow as soon as the ground opens in spring. Nos. 1766 to 1776 should be sown from any time in July to first of Au-
gust; but the other kinds, for winter use, may be sown from the midd e of July to the end of August. Turnips are generally sown broad-
cast, but much larger crops are obtained (particularly of the Rutabagas) by cultivating in drills 18 inches apart, and thinning to 6 inches in
the drill. Sow in drills, one pound to the acre; broadcast, two to three pounds to the acre.

Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in Europe. It
is one of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be forced like rhubarb,
or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will bleach. In form and flavor it is
not unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but boiled and served with drawn butter. We
are importing some specially fine stock this winter.

ASPARAGUS
( Asparagus officinalis )
Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow, going twice in a row,
getting row as deep as possible without getting in the yellow soil, spread in row good well-
rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about 10 inches apart (eye up) good two-year-
old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three weeks the Asparagus
will be up enough to cultivate; work same as other field crops, gradually working in soil as
season advances, naturally it will work itself in; the following spring plow off with a one-horse
plow very shallow so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as previous season; the next
season, your bed will be ready for cutting for market, simply plow off same as season before,
then turn in large double with a two-horse plow and rake off the top and your bed is com-
pleted, and you can cut every day until July 4—a bed made this way will last for twenty
years. For a garden, follow the same plan; but as the gardens are generally very rich, you
can plant much closer, and work by hand, instead with horse and plow.

Creeping Bent (Agvos/is stolonifera). The distinctive feature of
this species is, as the name implies, its compact, creeping, rooting

proved by constant tramping. Being of fine texture, it is most val-
uable for lawns and putting greens. If sown alone, 50 lbs. to the

purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that
popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly
deserves.
“Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’— American,
'European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern
Hemisphere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast conti-
nent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and
)the Philippines. Their geographical distribution is peculiar in that
they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance
still is the fact that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be be-
cause certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses in great
quantities every year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the
true possibilities of the family as a whole as garden flowers.
A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with
one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the
abundance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable
plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming
from June until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in
gorgeous beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding
years. The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best
garden Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their per-
' manent character and their subsequent increase in numbers. With
a few exceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average
depth and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all,
only to be once planted and left alone for a number of years, when
they may have increased to such an extent as to need lifting and re-
planting in reduced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum
of the swamps, and Canadense of the fertile meadows; ‘“‘they toil
not, neither do they spin,’’ but in their season they are pictures of

Do not plant Lilies in the open; a partial shade is essential for succesful cultibation in the hot climate of America

great beauty. These, although natives, are worthy of garden cult-
vation, and the response to garden culture is seen in greater stature
and more abundant blooming.
The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms
of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a
score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to
the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. bulbiferum, L.
croceum, L. umbellatum, and their allies, in many shades from yel-
low to dark crimson. As summer advances, new kinds vary the
garden scene; of special prominence being the old white Z. can-
didum, L. longiflorum, L. Japonicum Brownii (in its several varie-
ties), ZL. Chalcedonicum, L. tenuifoliumand L. superbum excelsum
(testaceum). In August, we have L. Henry, with its great-branched
beds of orange-yellow flowers, borne aloft from 6 to 10 feet high, a
noble Lily, that will grow anywhere and increase fast. With the
Tiger Lily, and varied forms of L. speciosum to carry on the flower-
ing till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we may have five months
of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all easily grown kinds.
These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the culture of some that
demand extra care or special treatment, like the pretty pink Krameri,
the golden Auratum, or the giant LZ. giganteum.
Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by
planting in special associations; for example, among rhododendrons
or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved,
enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too make
an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming,
and both mutually helpful to each other. Make a great bed or bor-
der by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with
Lilies and peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into
a floral feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.

HARDY JAPANESE LILIES
For Outdoor Planting, or Growing in Pots for Summer Flowering
Nearly all the Lilies which are cultivated
in pots for conservatory and greenhouse
decoration are also well adapted for growing
in the open ground, and in suitable soil they
make an imposing display. The following
varieties are generally recognized as border
flowers, and with good reason, for the most
inclement winter does not injure them. If
left undisturbed, they present an increased
number of flowers for several seasons. All
the varieties of Lilies on this page do grandly
in pots for conservatory decoration in the
summer months. For cultivation of Lilies
outdoors, see page ror.

Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies
Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies.
A stubborn clay may be improved for them by
deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat, or rotted turf, or indeed
in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter.
They should be planted deep for their size, never less than
6 inches. When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally
manured before replanting.

RETARDED LILY azd OTHER BULBS
FROM COLD STORAGE
We have been uniformly successful in the placing of Choice Lilies in cold storage, and, by special care and inspection
during the time they were being retarded and by re-inspection before shipment, the bulbs sent out by me have been as solid and
in as good condition as when they originally arrived.
The forcing of cold storage Lilies is not an experiment any more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the
practicabilty of this method of producing Lilies out of season.
The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keep
the bulbs, when first potted, in a cool place or cellar, so as to
produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light.
Lilium speciosum so treated will flower from four to six
months from time of potting up. The later the season the quicker
they come into bloom.
As these Lilies are most useful during the early winter months,
and for Christmas flowering, we suggest August and July delivery
as the best time for making shipments for Speciosums.

W orthiana
This is a dwarf variety of Be-
gonia Bertini, excellent and very
free-flowering, which we sent out
last year. It is a continuous
bloomer, and the brilliant red
flowers are borne in great pro-
fusion. It will make an excellent
bedding variety, and will also be
found very useful for edging, and
in time will supersede the Ver-
non and other Semperflorens va-
rieties. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.,
$12 per 100.
W ashington
This variety is similar to the
Lafayette and Duke Zepplin
types and was seen by our rep-
resentative while in Europe this

its exceedingly dwarf habit and
great profusion of crimson-scar-
let blossoms. For bedding pur-
poses it is unequaled. 76 cts.
each, $7.50 per doz.

CALADIUMS *YaRETtES
This plant in the past few years has become very much in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and
have such a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as beautiful. Among ornamental foliage plants there are
none more beautiful in design or gorgeous in coloring than the Fancy-leaved Caladiums. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in the
colorings and markings of the leaves, embracing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep green and intense crim-
son. As pot-plants they form specimens of great beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants,
lending striking effect to any collection of foliage plants. They are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially
shaded locations. ‘
Fancy-leaved ‘Caladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 7o degrees
Fahr., and a moist atmosphere. The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty
of sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass,
and shaded only during very bright sunshine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not
sink below 60 degrees Fahr.
We offer an English collection of 40 new or very rare fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest transparent-leaved
kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country, and were selected
from over 100 varieties.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY DAHLIAS
The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of vayieties in commerce. The
very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of form,
continuous flowering qualities and general excellence.
NoTeE.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain
varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good if not better results.
The Grand New Decorative Dahlia
JACK ROSE
This unique variety was raised by Mr. Peacock, the dahlia hybridizer and ex-
pert. It is rightly named Jack Rose, as the color is identical—a beautiful dark
crimson—with the bloom of a rose; the flowers are not large, but borne in great
profusion upon stiff, erect gtems. Blooms brought to our office, after being carried
around for three days, were exhibited at the Morris County Gardeners’ and
Florists’ Society’s Chrysanthemum Exhibition, and awarded a certificate of merit,
thus displaying its great keeping qualities as a cut-flower. See illustration. 50
cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100.
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS
Six Grand Giant Dahlias
The six sorts here offered are, without exception, the largest and most perfect
double-flowering Dahlias now grown, flowers of all of them attaining a size of be-
tween 6 and 9 inches across under ordinary cultivation.
1 To our knowledge the largest Decorative Dahlia ever offered. It
Fireburst. is a seedling of Le Colosse ; has broader and longer petals, is
more flatly built, but a far more intense scarlet, slightly shaded orange, and pro-
duces specimens which measure 8 inches and over. Flowers are borne apart from
foliage; a great value. Height, 3% feet; plant spreading 3 feet. Green plants
only, $1 each, $10 per doz.
Gigantea Its name suggests the size; truly gigantic and massive in form.
— So Thee individual petals are short and it requires many to form such
a monstrous flower. Color a soft sulphur-yellow; distinct and attractive. 50 cts.
The color is a delicate shade of soft pink; flowers are
Mrs. Roosevelt. perfectly double and very large, measuring 6 to 8 inches
in diameter. Strong roots, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
Mme Van den Dael. A splendid decorative variety for cutting; color
soft rose with deeper markings, shading to
creamy white in the center. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
Souvenir de Gustave Doazan The most sensational Dahlia of
the season; a decorative variety
of mammoth proportions, which under ordinary cultivation will produce flowers
6 inches across, and can be grown to measure full 9 inches. It is of free growth,
remarkably profuse-flowering, and pure scarlet in color. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
The popularity which this novelty has acquired in this
W. W. Rawson. short time speaks in itself for the superior features of
this flower. This variety is a veritable king among Dahlias. The massive, perfect
but graceful flowers, which often measure 7 inches in diameter, are borne on stiff,
erect stems 15 inches and longer. The petals toward the center are quilled similar
to Grand Duke Alexis, toward the outer part they are more open and flat. The
entire flower is absolutely perfect in outline and formation. The color is pure white, overlaid with amethyst-blue; this wonderful combina-
tion gives it the appearance of a delicate lavender. Strong roots, $1 each, $10 per doz.
Collection of one each of the above 7 varieties, including Jack Rose, for $3.50
Standard Decorative Dahlias
Auguste Nonin. Clear scarlet, a large and superb flower borne
we
erect on straight stems, often 18 inches in length, and appear in great
abundantly, always above the foliage. Flowers are always perfect.
$1 each, $10 per doz.
Beauty of Kent. Well named, beautiful in form, color and
appearance. Deep crimson-red, with distinct pure white tips ; most
effective and at once catches the eye; free-blooming and fairly large.
50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Catherine Duer. The Dahlia of Newport. For effect in artificial
light after being cut, there is hardly another variety which has more
brilliancy ; a giant flower borne erect on erect stems with its deep,
rich glowing red is most effective. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.
Camellia. A dwarf, bushy plant, attaining a height of 2% feet
with small, but prolific foliage and myriads of small-sized perfect
flowers of a coppery orange. The shape of the flower is just like a
camellia and lasts well when cut. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Clifford W. Bruton. A grand free-flowering yellow.
each, $1.50 per doz.
Delice. The finest pink Decorative Dahlia; color a soft, delicate
pink, known in French as “‘chamois-rose.’’ The flowers are carried
15 cts:
abundance on a bushy plant 3 feet high. Roots 75 cts. each, $7.50 per
doz.; plants 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Firefly. A most striking variety on account of its color, fiery
orange-scarlet, with distinct white tips. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Flora. One of the most refined white flowers. The pure glisten-
ing white is not disturbed by the least suggestion of green; the flow-
ers are always perfect, on extremely long, erect stems and literally
cover the 5-foot plant over its entire surface. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. One of the most valuable Dahlias
we have. It is particularly valuable for several reasons. It grows
about 30 inches high and does not require support of any kind. The
immense, perfect pure white flowers are borne in great profusion on
most erect, stout stems, fully 18 inches long, all above foliage. No
matter how much you cut, it is hard to find the plant without flowers.
For landscape work or general garden use this variety is especially
valuable. Planted into the shrub border or even into lawns by them-
selves they succeed splendidly and make an effect which cannot be
duplicated with any other flower. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

Miscellaneous Bulbs angeeoae
FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SUMMER-FLOWERING
AMARYLLIS
Amaryllis, Grand Vittata Hybrids
50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100
The stock that we offer of this grand flowering bulb are grown
from seed procured from the most reliable hybridists of this beau-
tiful plant, in England, Veitch and Kerr. They have been grown
for us under most favorable conditions in Bermuda, and are
thoroughly well-ripened bulbs—all flowering size.
Our grower sends us a fine field report upon these bulbs—
stating the colors are exquisite, from purest white, all colors of
red and crimson, rose and pink striped and variegated.
The bulbs will be sent out in mixture, no two varieties exactly
alike—this will save confusion in endless names.
Amaryllis may be grown in a sunny window or greenhouse, by
following the cultural directions given below. See illustration.
In order to obtain finespecimens of Amaryllis the following method
should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs they should be placed
where they will be always slightly moist and warm—under the
benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs be-
fore the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little wa-
ter, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat, increase
the supply of water as the plants progress.

: or Amaryllis Halli (The Magic
LYCORIS squamigera, Lily of Japan). A perfectly hardy
Amaryllis producing beautiful pink flowers. Produces in early spring
attractive green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and
disappears, and any one not familiar with its habits would think the
bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower-stalks
spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel
of large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from
eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear
blue. As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be
planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best
time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before
flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the
hardy border or among shrubbery. Strong-flowering bulbs, 35 cts. each, :

be allowed to fall down from a pot or basket with excellent effect, to form a most attractive
tracery of leafage dotted with dazzling flowers. The sunniest part of the greenhouse should
be devoted to TZ. tricolorum, and in potting special care must be taken to secure ample

JAPANESE IRIS as
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate
and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
he Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

CULTURE OF IRISES.—The common varieties of Iris are well known favorites of
the border, and the whole family deserves attention for their excellent faculty of tak-
ing care of themselves if properly planted in the first instance. The tuberous or bulb-
ous-rooted kinds do not require a rich soil; a sandy loam suits them well and they
thrive in peat. Several of the most beautiful varieties should be grown in pots in
frame, or in a cool greenhouse. All the varieties can be planted out in clumps in
front of a shrubbery or herbaceous border, where they many be seen to advantage, or
in the pasture and woodlands. The crown of the bulb must not be more than 3 inches
below the surface

bined in the same spike of flowers, the buds first appearing cochineal-red, chang-
ing to canary-yellow as they develop, finally opening a sulphur-white; very free-
flowering. August to October. 2% feet. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
Triumph. A strong-growing variety that produces from August to October flower-
heads 12 to 16 inches long, on stems 4 to 5 feet high, and are entirely distinct in
color, being of a rich saffron-yellow, shaded orange-red. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
W ater Lilies
The planting of Water Lilies and aquatics is becoming more popular every year.
It is not necessary to have a pond or swamp at your disposal. Many amateurs grow
them in their gardens, in old hoysheads, or barrels that have been cut in half. We
shall be pleased to make suggestions and furnish lists of varieties and prices.

shades of crimson and pink. Double and semi-double

A Few Hints on Outdoor Rose Growing
BY AN EXPERT
ARRIVAL OF PACKAGE.— Immediately the package
containing the roses arrives, it should be taken to a cellar or
sheltered place, where the drying winds cannot penetrate, to be
carefully unpacked. The plants should be taken from the bundle
and the roots and tops thoroughly sprinkled with water, after
which they may be covered with a sack or mat until they are
planted. Should the weather be wet and the soil unfit to receive
them, it is best to open a trench, lay the plants in thickly, cover-
ing the roots well with soil until the weather be fine and soil
sufficiently dry to tread upon. If planting is being performed
during a dry wind or sunny day it will
benefit the plants, before taking them
from the shelter in which they wee
unpacked, to dip the roots of each plant
in a thick puddle made of clay and
water ; this will cover the fibrous roots
with a coating sufficient to protect
them from the most severe winds.
FROSTS.—Should frost set in after
the receipt of plants so as to prevent
planting, the roses on arrival should
not be opened, but rolled up in a mat
or straw and put away in a dry house
where there is no heat. The plants,
which are always carefully packed be-
fore leaving will, when sotreated, keep
safely for one month.
DELAY OF PACKAGE.— It oc-
casionally happens through negligence
on the part of express companies that
packages containing plants are unduly
delayed, and instances may occur when
some of the plants may have become
shriveled. In such lay the
shriveled plants quite flat inthe bottom
of a trench in the ground, similar to
that prepared for celery, cover them
entirely (both roots and tops) with
soil which has received a good soaking
cases,
Whit
with water, and allow them to remain there for three days. At
the expiration of that period uncover and take them out, when
it will be found that the wood and buds have regained their
normal condition.
SOIL.—That which is especially adapted to the rose is a
deep soil of a greasy nature. Where this is not to be had, and
the soil is light, add either clay or loam in addition to manure. If
heavy clay, some burnt earth, sand or leaf mold should be added.
SITUATION AND PREPARATION OF GROUND.—
A place sheltered from high winds (open, and not surrounded
by trees, as closeness is liable to cause mildew), and apart from
other flowers, should, if possible, be assigned to them ; a south,
southeastern or southwestern position is best, the beds being
situated so as to receive the morning sun. Oblong beds, not over
four feet, are preferable, as the flowers may be cut or examined
without going off the path or grass. The rose will not thrive in
a stagnant soil, so that if drainage does not naturally exist it
must be provided. If it is not convenient to use tiles, a layer
e Baby Rambler, Catharine Siemeth
of broken stones six to nine inches deep or any other coarse
material will answer the purpose. This done, the soil should
be dug or trenched to a depth of at least eighteen inches, mix-
ing plenty of manure, made very much like a sandwich, with
alternate layers of manureand earth. J
PLANTING may be safely continued until April. Great
care must be taken to avoid deep planting. In case of dwarf
roses, place the union of the stock with the bud two inches
_ beneath the soil. Each root should be laid out carefully, taking
care that two roots do not cross each other or coil round ; this
is very important for the well-being of
plants. The roots of standard roses
require similar treatment, and must be
placed about five inches below the sur-
face. Do not put the manure on the
bare roots, but first place some fine soil
over them, after which manure may be
laidon. Tread firmly and spread some
coarse litter on the surface around the
plant as a protection from frost. Stand-
ards should be staked and any very long
shoots on the dwarf plants shortened.
MANURING.— Cow manure is ad-
mittedly the best. It is best to apply
surface dressing in the autumn for pro-
tection against frost, which should be
forked or hoed in during the early
spring. :
PRUNING.— It is best to prune early
in March (unless the plants are late
planted, when it should be. deferred
until April). In all cases it is neces-
sary to cut away all weak or unripe
wood, leaving only the strong and well
matured. This, in the case of strong-
growing kinds, should be cut back to
five or six eyes; the weaker and shorter
growing must be pruned closer, only
leaving two or three eyes on each
shoot. This refers to hybrid perpetual, hybrid tea, and tea rose ;
the climbing and pillar sorts should not be cut back ; the tips
of the shoots should be taken off and the shoots thinned.
WATERING.—Should the spring and summer prove dry,
watering is absolutely necessary, and, if liquid manure can be
had, so much the better.
INSECTS.—Insects are very troublesome to the rose-
grower. In spring, almost as soon as the plants begin to grow,
the caterpillar or rose grub attacks them; these can only be
destroyed by hand-picking. After this the greenfly makes its ~
appearance, which should be kept in subjection by spraying
the plants with the following mixture: —Take 4 ounces of
quassia chips, and boil them ten minutes in a gallon of soft
water, then strain it, and while cooling dissolve in it 4 ounces of
(page 130)
_ soft soap ; to this may be added another gallon or two of water.
MILDEW .—Dust flowers of sulphur over the affected parts
as soon as it makes its appearance. Another good remedy is
sulphide of potassium, (oz. to the gallon, applied with syringe.

.L, and OTHER ROSES
Roses still hold popular sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have made special arrangements this year with regard to
the quality of the stock and list of varieties, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness.
We are handling this year only American-grown and English-grown Roses, as we find these are much better ripened, and, if planted in the
fall, winter over much more satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grown Roses usually sold at department stores. They are also budded
lower and are less liable to ‘‘sucker’”’ from the briar upon which they are budded.

can offer such a Rose this season. This variety is a sport from the beautiful Crimson Rambler, is similar in color, more brilliant and lasting
than the old favorite. It also possesses the further advantage over the Crimson Rambler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young
wood the first year. Flower of Fairfield is a vigorous grower and free bloomer. It starts to bloom early in the spring and continues until
late in the autumn. It is rightly termed ‘‘perpetual blooming.”’
Veilchenblau (Violet-blue). It has long been the de-
sire of rosarians to se-
cure a blue Rose. In Veilchenblau we have practically approached
this color. The steel-blue flowers of this new Rose appear in large
clusters, are semi-double, of medium size and keep in bloom a long
time. The showy yellow stamens, contrasting with the blue flower,
give the whole a striking appearance. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.

Hydrangea Arborescens Sterilis
AMERICAN EVERBLOOMING HYDRANGEA,
also called SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW,
GRANDIFLORA ALBA, ETC,
Believed to be the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced
during the last twenty years. It was found growing wild on the rocky
hills of Western Pennsylvania several years ago. The old well-known
Aydrangea paniculata grandifiora, which, up to the introduction of the
new form, has been one of the most popular flowering shrubs, blooms
in this latitude only during August, while the new sort blooms
continuously from early June until the end of the growing season. The
size of the flower is one of the striking features of this shrub. Blooms
12 inches across are frequent in young plants, while the average size
on mature plants is usually 6 inches or more. The color of the flower
isa pure, dazzling white, without the creamy and later pink tints of the
old A. paniculata gi andiflora. The flowers, when cut, possess remark-
able keeping qualities, remaining in good form and color many days.
This Hydrangea gives every promise of becoming even more popular
than the well-known H. paniculata grandiflora; as it lacks the coarse-
ness and stiffnessof that variety; it is refined in tone and effect, and
with its abundant and handsome foliage it lends itself readily to Jand-
scape effects. It is a comely, handsome shrub at all times. It is at |
least as hardy as A. paniculata grandiflora. :

CARNATIONS
The Cottage Gardens’ Company (Inc.) at the expressed wish of their friends, have decided to disseminate their two grand novelty
Carnations as follows:
Alma Ward Carnation
Fruit Trees Under Glass
Alma Ward
This beautiful Carnation is pure white, except during dark
weather, when it shows delicate splashings of pink similar to the Cat-
tleya, increasing its popularity. Alma Ward is the largest, most fra-
grant Carnation ever grown, producing perfect flowers 3% to 4%
inches in diameter, on strong, erect stems, 36 to 42 inches in length.
This most remarkable variety takes the same place among Carna-
tions as the American Beauty rose does among roses, and has, dur-
ing the past four years, been awarded numerous prizes, including
the following: The Lawson Silver Medal, Toronto, 1907 (no gold
medal having been awarded); The Lawson Gold Medal, Washing-
ton, 1908; Silver Medal of the Society of American Florists, Wash-
ington, 1908. 2%-in. pots 40 cts. each, $4 per doz., $7.50 for 25, $14
for 50, $25 per 100.
Mrs. C. W. Ward
Mrs. C. W. Ward is a perfectly formed flower with full center;
color deep pink, several shades lighter than Lawson, deeper than
Winsor; having strong, erect stems, 24 to 36 inches in length. A
vigorous, healthy grower, and has never shown disease of any kind.
A very early and free bloomer, producing fine flowers as early as
September 1, which bring from 25 to50 per cent more than any other
variety on the market. The keeping qualities of this variety are re-
markable. Several shipments of blooms sent to Europe reached
their destinations in perfect condition, and wherever exhibited it has
always been the last to show signs of wilting. Awards: Silver Medal
of the Society of American Florists, Boston, 1906; the Craig Cup for
Rest Seedling, Philadelphia, 1906; the Lawson Bronze Medal,
Washington, 1908; the Horticultural Society of New York, Silver

By WILLIAM TURNER
The forcing of fruits under glass is rapidly on the increase; prob-
ably there is more space devoted to grapes than any other one fruit,
when little space is at command; or, in other words, an early-house,
midseason and late. Ripe grapes may be had, say, from the middle
of May till Christmas or the New Year.
In producing fruit under glass. the aim should be to attain those
as near perfection as possible. Two or three things may be con-
sidered in this respect. The first, and one of the most important
things to be considered, is the border, about which it will be impos-
sible to enter into detail in this short article. All fruit men know the
value of a well-drained border; this assuredly is one of the secrets
of success in fruit-growing. 2d.—Watering. Grape-vines delight in
plenty of moisture, but judgment must be used as to the quantity.
Take, for instance, the time when grapes start to color: a heavy
watering at that period should be avoided, otherwise there is danger
of deficiency in finish or color. 3d.—Airing is another important
factor in fruit-culture. A man who is careless in this respect will
certainly fallshort. Extreme changes must be avoided, otherwise red
spider and mildew will be the result.
Borders. —The question hasoften been asked, Which are to be pre-
ferred, inside borders only, or, both inside and out? Good grapes
have been grown under both systems, but the tendency today is
more toward confining the roots wholly inside. Certainly, for early
forcing inside borders are preferred, but for midseason and late it
is immaterial, unless the fruit houses are on low ground, then by all
means keep the roots inside. The house best adapted for fruit-grow-
ing is one with a span roof running north and south, say about 25
feet in width, with double vents both top and bottom F
Depth of Border.—A grape border should have a depth of good
soil from 2% to 3 feet, making sure there is good drainage below to
carry off the water. Soil for the border is best secured from sod land.
Vines are not particular as to soil, but a medium loam is to be pre-
ferred. This could be plowed and hauled direct to the house. Bone
is one of the main ingredients to mix with the soil, using a coarse
grade at the bottom and finer towards the top; in fact, nothing is
better than Thompson’s vine manure at the ratio of one 112-lb. bag
to four team-loads of soil. It is a mistake to make borders too rich;
it is better to feed from the surface after the vines get established.
While we are growing fruit artificially, we must not forget to follow
nature. For instance, a grapery started the middle of December re-
quires a considerable amount of patience, as, upon going day after
day, the eye can see no change; still we are gradually acclimatizing
the vines for their season’s work. Since it takes a month or more to
detect the move under these conditions, beware of rushing in too
much heat. In starting a house in December, begin with a tempera-
ture of 45° at night and 50° to 55° during the day, gradually raising
it 5° every 12 days until 65° night temperature is reached. This
should ‘carry them till they are in bloom, when a’temperature of 70°
at night and 80° by day will be in order. There is quite a variety of
hothouse grapes to select from, and it isa mistake to plant too many
varieties in a house. Black Hamburg, Buckland Sweet Water and
Foster’s Seedling are satisfactory for an early-house, with probably
two or three canes of Muscat of Alexandria; midseason-house,
Muscat of Alexandria; late-house, Gros Maroc, Gros Colman, Ap-
pley’s Towers, Lady Hutt, Barbarossa.

tarines, early—Cardinal, Early Rivers, Advance; midseason—Stan-
wick Elruge, Chaucer, Humboldt; late—Newton, Spencer, Victoria.

Mignonne; midseason—Peregrin, Dymond, Bellegarde; late—
Princess of Wales, Thomas Rivers, Crawford’s Late.

“QUALITY IS REMEMBERED LONG AFTER PRICE IS FORGOTTEN”
OUR TERMS
SY RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent al-
® lowed, to be deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved
credit, accounts are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special
prices and terms are arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Ferti-
lizers and Insecticides are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
ORDER_EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as early
as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. We aim to ship all orders the same or next day
after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of
ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season
advances, however some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If,
however, you give us permission to substitute; please state so in your order, and we will
use our knowledge and ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made
subject to change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We,
however, carry very large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction
may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied
by a remittance in part payment to guarantee charges.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets,
will now be carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS”? rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the
regular merchandise rates to all points where no ‘‘General Specials’? exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials’’
rate is in force, the companies make a special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit
of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum charge is 35 cts. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4
per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing 100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cts. on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the
list, except that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price and 250 at
1,000 price; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage and save transportation charges.
NON-WARRANTY.—We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do
we guarantee the successful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or
that the same will be free from disease. If not accepted on these
terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any money that has
been paid for same will be refunded. ARTHUR T. BopDINGTON.

AUTUMN i910
The Secret of Bulb Culture
By WILHELM MILLER, Editor of the “Garden Magazine”
WIVERY year we Americans spend about two million dollars for bulbs, without realizing the one P)
\ or =) fundamental fact about them that makes for quality. While we can increase the size of the 4
ae flowers and profoundly affect the depth and purity of their colors by cultural skill, all the time, ;
= : money and loving eare that we bestow upon them will never increase the nwmber of flowers. —
That is all determined when we buy the bulbs.
To convince ourselves of this, all we have to do is to cut open a bulb and, if we have patience and a ean
magnifying glass, we can count every blossom which that bulb had the possibility of making.
The moral is obvious: pay more and get better bulbs. For there-is no comparison between the pleasure
one gets out of a bulb that gives i 4
us one solitary daffodil anda

The kind of crocuses you
usually buy produce only two or ©
three flowers. A first-size cro-
cus bulb should measure three —
inches in circumference and pro-
duce four to six flowers. And so —
it goes. You may lavish daily q

Planting Table for bulbs
something to exclaim over. You wouldn’t have to apologize to your callers for the condition of your flowers. I
You wouldn’t have to “wonder why” they were not better. The “secret” of bulb culture is that charming
little mystery wrapped up in the heart of every bulb—the number of flowers it intends to show.
How can one tell a quality bulb? Asa rule, the bigger the bulb, the more the flowers and the higher
the price, but—that isn’t all! You want a bulb that is heavy for its size. It is the solid, close-grained bulb {
that has the hardiness to resist wet and cold; it is the loose, sappy one that falls an easy prey to disease. "
The other secret of bulb culture is to get a wonderful root growth in the fall before the stem begins to
:
IW N
shoot up. A cool, dark place will fix that. Bulb culture is really “too easy.” Beginners do sometimes fail,
but that is usually because they put the bulbs in too heavy soil. Bulbs have one weak point. They are
sensitive to stagnant water. Put a little sand under each bulb, if you are in doubt, or, better still, throw out _
the heavy soil to the depth of two feet, put in a layer of broken bricks or stones for drainage and fill in aK
with good soil. And so I say the real secret of bulb culture is to buy the very best bulbs. It costs the
Dutchmen more to raise first-class bulbs than ordinary bulbs, and we can never expect to have quality flow-
ers unless we pay a fancy price. The price of bulbs is too cheap in this country. Our standards are too
low. The prices of general merchandise have advanced all along the line. (Everybody knows that. We all }
know that the cost of living is higher.) Bulbs and seeds and plants have not advanced, but they must, %
because our standards are advancing. The American people want the very best of everything, and they are .
willing to pay for it if the thing is so much better that every one can see it at a glance.

May-flowering Tulips, Pansies and Daisies in the
: Spring Garden
OF MRS. D. WILLIS JAMES, MADISON, N. J.
ANY people object to planting bulbs in the fall, outside, from the fact that when the blooming
41 season arrives they are away, or living in the city. The above illustration of a beautiful spring
garden was photographed about the end of May, and shows what effective beds of flowers can
be produced at that season of the year. When a large proportion of owners of estates are re-
turning to their country homes, or visiting prior to leaving the city, what more lovely sight could
greet the eye than this mass of color and beautiful effects in a setting of the new spring.
The above beds and borders contain some of the rarest of Darwin and May-flowering Tulips, that are at
_ their height of glory during the last two weeks of May; in the other beds are Myosotis (Forget-me-nots),
Bellis Perennis (English Daisies), Polyanthus (Bunch Primroses), and Pansies, the whole conforming to
a beautiful color scheme and perspective beauty.
We cannot too strongly advise the making and planting of such a magnificent formal garden, and shall
_be pleased to correspond with those interested, as to varieties, etc., for this style of landscape work, or the
less-expensive method of planting bulbs for the wild garden—the kinds for naturalization and acclimatization.

Boddington’s Dutch Romans, or Miniatures
These are small bulbs, or miniature Dutch Hyacinths (see illustration
above), and are now very largely used for growing in pans or pots. They are
also used extensively for bedding purposes, as they produce large spikes of
flowers. We can specially recommend our “ Quality’? Dutch Romans to those
who have never grown them, and therefore do not know their value. They
consist of named sorts, similar to regular first-size Dutch Hyacinths, of the
finest grade and true to name. 12 to 15 centimeters.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS
HYACINTHS IN POTS.—It is important in the pot culture of Hyacinths to have rich, light soil. If the bulbs are to be potted singly,
pots 5 inches in diameter are the proper size. Cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss,
which will keep the soil from clogging the drainage thus provided. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and, in
potting, place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil
should be of usual natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a coldframe where there is
protection from frost or in the coolest part of the cellar, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist sifted coa}
ashes. covering the pots to a depth of 6 inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about ten weeks, the bulbs may
be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in
forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started
much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results.
Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October. When desired for late use, it is better to pot them in October and
keep them in a coldframe or cellar above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower-
spikes, Hyacinths, when being forced, should have plenty of manure-water and fresh air, and should have as much light as possible. The
blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun after they show color.
HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.—The single varieties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture. They produce finer
flower-spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of char-
coal in each glass to keep the water pure and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark place, and
kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. If the water in the glasses
becomes foul or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which the bulbs are growing;
otherwise it need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without drafts, in order that the best
development and brilliancy of color may be obtained. Intending purchasers can rely upon all bulbs of Hyacinths being thoroughly ripened,
fully up to specified size and ‘‘ quality,’’ and true to name.
Boddington’s_ Extra-selected **'Top-root,’’ or Exhibition Named Dutch Hyacinths
in a General Selection
The term ‘‘top-root”’ is a Holland phrase, and is used to distinguish the size of the Hyacinth bulb from the first size; in fact, they are
the largest bulbs selected after harvesting the crop, and are the “pick of the market.’’ These bulbs are excellent for exhibition purposes, to
grow singly in pots or Hyacinth glasses. Rach Doz 100

Boddington’s “Quality” Bedding Hyacinths to Color
Bedding Hyacinths should be planted about 8 inches apart each way—or, say twenty to the square yard—and 4 or5 inches deep,
reckoning from the top of the bulb. The actual number requisite for a given area, however, must be determined in every instance by the
local conditions and the object in view; a large bed in the distance need not be go closely planted as a small bed in the immediate fore-
ground, and of course a smaller number will be necessary in either case if a ground-work such as Myosotis, Silene or Arabis be provided.
Besacinchs planted alternately with Narcissi produce a very striking effect, and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is a suitable
istance.
The following Hyacinths, although offered at very low prices, have all been imported by us from Holland this year and can be strongly
recommended for their high quality. They are specially adapted for groups in borders and shrubberies, where they will give a brilliant
display of very handsome flowers; but for beds, where simultaneous flowering and uniformity of shade are of importance, we recommend
the Superlative Hyacinths offered below.

Boddington’s Superlative Named Bedding or Forcing Hyacinths
SOLD BY SOME SEEDSMEN AS SECOND SIZE
These are a superior grade of Bedding or Forcing Hyacinths, being large-sized named bulbs of 17 centimeters and over. For size of
flower and general effect when massed in beds they are unsurpassed. These bulbs are offered to name and color. The same varieties as
the first and second size is offered in this Catalogue.
Single Hyacinths produce finer spikes, and are altogether more reliable and showy in the open ground, than double varieties; hence
the following list includes none but singles. For extensive conservatory or greenhouse decoration these Hyacinths will give great satisfac-
tion to those who do not wish to incur the expense which is unavoidable for a large selection of named varieties.

BODDINGTON’S BRILLIANT ‘TULIPS
FOR BEDDING OR FORCING (FIRST SIZE BULBS ONLY)
There is one important difference between Hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar treatment most Hyacinths flower about the same time,
while Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. The divergence has frequently been the source of much disappointment, for, in a bed
(or even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, one variety may be overblown before others show their colors. For brilliant bedding
effects, solid masses of color are to be preferred, especially for design bedding.
For cultural directions under glass, see Hyacinths, page 3. The treatment to be followed is exactly the same. Tulips for bedding
should be planted about 6 inches apart and about 4 inches deep, reckoning from the tops of the bulbs.
The figures following the varieties indicate earliness in flowering: No. 1 being the earliest; No. 2 following; No. 3 being still a little
later, but coming into bloom before the No. 2’s are out. The height is indicated by “bp” for dwarf, ‘“‘m”’ for medium and ‘‘ Tr”? for tall.

BODDINGTON’S “QUALITY”
SINGLE LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS
For Planting Among Herbaceous Plants and Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc.
It is surprising that these grand Tulips have not been more largely planted. As an early display, they are magnificent in their beauty
and coloring, coming into flower, as they do, from May 15 to the first week in June, accoraing to the season, and are most useful from a
decorative point of view, after the early-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following varieties, and their
height, after being well established, reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years, and fill in
the space until spring plants can be set out in beds. There are many more beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few of the
most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surroundings, should
be without a selection of them, for they afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.

days the flowers change to a
deep rose, and, unless one is
acquainted with it, it would not
be recognized as thesame Tulip.
It stands remarkably well when
cut, and gracefully arranged.

Narcissi and Daffodils
Narcissi and Daffodils are among the earliest-flowering bulbs, and are alike
useful for cut-flowers and decorative purposes. The most useful for early forcing is
the well-known Paper White Narcissus varieties Grandiflora and Multiflora. They
are pure white, chaste and beautiful, and are borne on long stems, sometimes as
many as fifteen to a stem.
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS.—Plant bulbs in shallow pans or boxes, about 2 inches
apart, and store in cellar or shed till thoroughly rooted. Do not allow frost to reach
them. If wanted for Christmas, bring into the light about the second week in Novem-
ber, and after that successively (about a month to six weeks), and you will have
Narcissus in bloom till nearly Easter. For general cultivation of Narcissus under
glass, see Hyacinths, page 3.
Paper White Narcissus can also be grown in water with pebbles in shallow
dishes and bowls, the same as the Sacred Chinese Narcissus

SINGLE TRUMPET NARCISSI
The commercial florists have been foremost to give the Narcissi or Daffodils the attention due them, They have learned how easily
and successfully these lovely flowers may be forced into bloom during winter, and how fascinating and lasting are the blossoms. They
may be planted in pots or bulb pans 6 inches or more in diameter, several bulbs in each, according to size. Treat in the same manner as
hyacinths.

BODDINGTON’S
New Narcissus Poetaz
Hybrids
N. Poeticus Ornatusx N. Polyanthus Varieties
By crossing these two classes, Narcissus Poeticus
Ornatus being the seed parent, our growers have suc-
ceeded in obtaining a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-
flowered Narcissus. The individual flowers have all
more or less the Poeticus shape and size. Besides
being hardy, this class has the merit that they have not
inherited the strong, disagreeable scent of the Tazetta
Narcissus. They are equally valuable for bedding and
forcing. A bed of these Narcissi is simply covered
by a dense mass of flowers. They force extremely
easy. This is an entirely new strain and has no sim-
ilarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore.
The following we consider the best of this lovely type.
Alsace. Petals pure white, with yellow eye; when
bursting into flower the eye is slightly edged reddish. Broad large
flowers of true Poet form; one of the earliest. Has three flowers
onastem. 5 cts. each, 4octs. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25 per 1,000.
Elvira. Pure white, with yellow eye; large flower of a remarkably
good substance. Long-stemmed and a good keeper ; four flowers
on a stem. Highly recommended. 5 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz.,
$1.75 per 100, $16 per 1,000.
Ideal. Perianth white, with dark orange eye; large truss bearing
six to seven flowers; beautiful striking color. 5 cts. each, 50 cts.
per doz., $4 per 100, $35 per 1,000.
Narcissus Jonquilla, or Jonquils
All of the Jonquils are prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant
blossoms and the ease with which they may be grown. Half a dozen
bulbs may be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as
recommended for Hyacinths (see page 3) a fine display can be had
from January to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal planting
should be made outdoors. A clump of fifty or more bulbs put here
and there among shrubbery or interspersed in the hardy border or
naturalized in the grass, gives an indescribably rich effect in the
early spring, while a vase of the cut blooms will fill a room with the
rich, spicy perfume.

Narcissi and Daffodils
FOR NATURALIZING, BEDDING, ETC.
For producing brilliant masses of striking color in the mixed
border, among shrubs, under trees, or for grouping in grass, the
following varieties of Narcissi are unequaled, while they specially
claim the attention of amateurs for their hardiness and accom-
modating qualities. Clumps should be grown in odd corners to
furnish flowers for decorative purposes. When cut just as they
begin to expand, the flowers develop their full beauty in water as
perfectly, and retain their brightness for as long a period as when
allowed to remain on their own plants. Pansies, myosotis, scillas,
and other low-growing plants and bulbs make lovely companions
for these popular Narcissi.

LILIES
Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt,
if intended for growing in pots or for forcing. The
soil should be rich, the pot well drained. The bulb
should be set about half-way below the surface or rim
of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting,
give a thorough watering and set outside in a cold-
frame or shady situation; then cover with ashes or
long straw. After they have stood from three weeks
to a month, bring into the house, allow plant to grow
above pot 4 to 6 inches, then fill pot with soil to within
1 inch of top of pot, and force gently. After showing
buds, a higher temperature may be used
Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda
Easter Lily
Owing to a continued drought in Bermuda, lasting
from March till ‘‘digging time,’ the crop of Harrisii
(true) shows a shortage of over 50 per cent in the sizes
7 to 9 and upward. We had the opportunity to buy
hybrids at a cheaper rate, but promptly turned it down.

Lily-of-the-Valley is among the best-known and most popular flowers,
and is chaste and beautiful for all occasions. We make arrangements
for only the best-ripened and matured three-year-old pips.
New crop of Lily-of-the-Valley should always be frozen before forcing
Boddington’s ‘* Wedding Bells” brand, being specially selected, is
superior for firstcrop; will convince the most critical grower of its supe-
riority over brands-usually offered for early forcing, the foliage and
flower-spike being all that can be desired. $2.25 per 100, $20 per 1,000.
Lily-of-the- Valley from Cold Storage
We import large quantities of the best grade of Valley for forcing,
which are put in cold storage immediately upon arrival and kept
perfectly dormant, These pips can be shipped at any day of the
year and can be brought into full flower in three weeks from time of
planting without undue forcing, and with foliage. We recommend
these for flowering before and up to Christmas. They should be
potted or boxed as soon as received, and be placed in a tempera-
ture of 55° or 60°. $3 per 100, $25 per 1,000.

Of all South African flowering bulbs, the Freesia is doubtless the best
known and most esteemed. The gracefully branched, fragrant flowers
are of long duration, and, being freely produced, are profitable for
commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs. If planted early they
may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight or ten bulbs in a 6-inch
bulb-pan, covering them one inch. The peculiar habit, its delicious per-
fume and great value for cutting, have made it immensely popular.

beautiful variety, throwing up a tall
spike bearing numerous large, milk-white,

AMAR YLLIS (Hippeastrums)
Amaryllis, Grand Vittata Hybrids
650 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100
The stock that we offer of this grand flowering bulb are grown
from seed procured from the most reliable hybridists of this beauti-
ful plant, in England, Veitch & Kerr. They have been grown for
us under most favorable conditions in Bermuda, and are thoroughly
well-ripened bulbs—all flowering size
Our grower sends us a fine field report upon these bulbs—
stating the colors are exquisite, from purest white, all colors of red
and crimson, rose and pink striped and variegated
The bulbs will be sent out in mixture, no two varieties exactly
alike—this will save confusion in endless names
Amaryllis may be grown in a sunny window or greenhouse, by
following the cultural directions given below.
In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following method
should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs in autumn they should be
placed where they will be always stightly moist and warm—under the
benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs before
the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little water, and
promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat; increase the supply
of water as the plants progress.

CROCUSES
All lovers of a garden are familiar with the brilliant display which
can be obtained from Crocuses in the opening days of Spring. The
planting may be in groups or lines of distinct color, but in every
instance a massive effect should be aimed at. It only fritters away
the bulbs to plant singly or in small numbers, and they are so cheap
as to justify their lavish employment.

EREMURUS.,. Maiestic, tuberous-rooted plants. A noble ornament in fiow-

and closely arranged on stately spikes 6 to 10 feet high, forming a magnificent
column of bloom during June and July. Give a sunny position, sheltered from gales;
plant the tubers in the fall, while dormant, and set about 8 inches deep. Although
hardy, it will be safer in northern states to protect with 4 to 6 inches of leaves,
straw, manure or similar covering, to prevent the young growth, which starts very
early, from being tipped from late freezes. Strong flowering roots, that is roots that
will flower the first season. EachuDoz

JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are AMeriean grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate
and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

of the extensive Pzonia family, and is one of the com-

also very sweet-scented. The varieties offered below
are the most typical, and beautiful for either massing

JAPANESE TREE PAEONIAS
Tree Pzonias, unlike the Chinese and Officinalis
types, do not die down to the ground each year. They
make a hard-wooded growth, and in time become quite
large shrubs. The flowers range in color from pure
white to the darkest shade of purple, including all the
shades of crimson and pink. Double and semi-double
varieties, in 12 sorts, specially selected for me by a
friend in Japan, consisting of the best varieties in com-
merce. 75 cts. each, set of 12 varieties for $7.50, $60
per 100.
HARDY JAPANESE LILIES
For Outdoor Planting, or Growing in Pots for Summer Flowering
: Nearly all the Lilies which are cultivated
in pots for conservatory and greenhouse
decoration are also well adapted for growing
in theopen ground, and in suitable soil they
make an imposing display. The following
varieties are generally recognized as border
flowers, and with good reason, for the most
inclement winter does not injure them. If
left undisturbed, they present an increased
number of flowers for several seasons. All
the varieties of Lilies on this page do grandly
in pots for conservatory decoration in the
summer months. For cultivation of Lilies
outdoors, see page ror spring Catalogue.

Amateurs, Attention! Something new—
Growing Bulbs in Fiber
The Idea of Growing Bulbs in Fiber Was a New One for This Country, Till We Offered
Them Last Year, But It Has Been Practised Successfully in England for Many Years
A most interesting method of grow-
ing bulbs is to place them in bowls, Hya-
cinth glasses and jardiniéres filled with
prepared fiber; far better results for
home decoration may be obtained in this
way than by using ordinary potting soil.
For this system of culture no drain-
age is necessary, and the bowls which
are specially made for the purpose are
not pierced with the usual holes for drain-
age. They are non-porous, and may be
placed on tables and columns, or they
can be used in halls and corridors with-
out the slightest risk of injury.
The fiber is perfectly clean to handle,
odorless, and remains sweet for an in-
definite period.
Any receptacle may be used for the
purpose provided it is non-porous, but
the bulbs to be planted in them should
be suited to theirsize. Crocuses, Scillas,
Snowdrops and Grape Hyacinths are
available, also Tulips, Hyacinths and
Narcissi. Itis better not to mix different
varieties of bulbs in one bowl unless
simultaneous flowering can be assured.
The specially prepared fiber we offer
Son ee requires moistening only before use.
Bulbs Growing in Fiber without Drainage Having selected suitable receptacles for
the bulbs to be grown, place a few pieces
of charcoal (which we also supply with
the fiber) at the bottom of the bowl. Then cover the charcoal with moistened fiber according to the depth of the bowl, placing
the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to within half inch of the rim. The spaces between and around the bulbs should be filled
with moistened fiber, carefully firmed in by hand. The bulbs will require practically no attention for the first few weeks, and may
be stood in a warm, airy position, but on no account must
they be shut up ina close cupboard. a ee re ee
If the fiber has been properly moistened, there will be no
need to give water until the shoots are an inch or so long,
but great care must be taken not to allow the fiber to dry,
otherwise the flower buds become blind. The surface of
the fiber should always look moist, but, if too much water
has been given, the bowl may be held carefully on its side
so that the surplus water may drain away. As the growth
increases, more water will be required, and as much light as
possible, to ensure sturdy foliage.
This fiber also answers admirably instead of water for
Hyacinths grown in glasses, but care should be taken to fill
the glasses as lightly as possible with the compost; if packed
in tightly, root growth is liable to push bulbs out of position.

“Quality” Christmas-Flowering
Sweet Peas
CULTIVATION
Christmas-flowering Sweet Peas should not be sown too thick, about one
ounce to 25 feet is sufficient. Thin out to about 3 inches apart when plants are
6 inches high; if wanted for Christmas, sow before the end of August; if wanted
during January, February and March, about the middle of September ; if wanted for
Easter. about the first of November. For a successful growing, a temperature of 4o to
45 degrees at night and 10 degrees higher in the day is considered best. Watch out
for red spider, thrip and green fly. Feed when plants are in full bloom.

Old-fashioned Gardening
Hardy Perennial and Old-Fashioned Flowers
THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM SEED SOWN IN LATE SUMMER AND FALL
Cultural Directions.—Perennial seed sown in the late summer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall,
according to the variety. The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes
or pans. Soil should be light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added, after sowing cover lightly with well-sifted soil.
When plants have become large enough to handle, ** prick out’’ about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes or
frames, and again when large enough; set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants
should be lightly covered with leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thrifti-
ness and next season’s growth.

GILIA CORONOPIFOLIA
One of the most beautiful biennials we have. This remarkable plant is unique from the fact that it has been lost to view for a number
of years. This is surprising considering the beauty and general worth of this delightful plant. The flowers are borne in clusters and are
of a bright shade of scarlet and most effective,—should be better known and extensively grown. They may be grown as pot plants and will
flower well in 5- and 6-inch pots. The brilliant scarlet flowers make it a grand subject for decoration in the conservatory. Pkt. 25 cts.,

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS (Crambe maritima)
Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in Europe. It
is one of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be forced like rhubarb,
or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will bleach. In form and flavor it is
not unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but boiled and served with drawn butter. We
are importing some specially fine stock this fall.
Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crowns. $1.75 per doz., $15 per 100, $120 per 1,000.
ASPARAGUS ( Asparagus officinalis)
Cultural directions.—Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow,
going twice in a row, getting row as deep as possible without getting in the yellow soil,
spread in row good well-rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about to inches apart
(eye up) good two-year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three
weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate ; work same as other field crops, grad-
ually working in soil as season advances, naturally it will work itself in; the following
spring plow off with a one-horse plow, very shallow so as not to cut the crowns and work
same as previous season; the next season your bed will be ready for cutting for market,
simply plow off same as season before, then turn in large double with a two-horse plow and
rake off the top and your bed is completed, and you can cut every day until July 4—a bed
made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow the same plan; but as the
gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work by hand, instead of
with horse and plow.

SELECTED LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD BUSHES; LOW BUDDED
Roses still hold popular sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have made special arrangements this year with regard to
the quality of the stock and list of varieties, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness.
We are handling this year only American-grown and English-grown Hybrid Perpetual Roses, as we find these are much better ripened,
and, if planted in the fall, winter over much more satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grown Roses, usually sold at department stores.
They are also budded lower and are less liable to “‘ sucker’? from the brier upon which they are budded. Fall or spring delivery.

growing Climbing Rose. The leaflets are large, bright, glossy green.
The flowers are single, from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and are borne
in clusters. The color is a beautiful shade of deep bright pink, with

and are produced much more freely. 50 cts. each, bundle of five for

Rambler). This variety is asport from the beautiful Crimson Ram-

Rambler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young wood the
first year. Flower of Fairfield is a vigorous grower and free

Pot-grown Strawberry Plants
READY FOR DELIVERY ABOUT AUCUST, i910
POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS PLANTED IN THE FALL WILL GIVE A FULL CROP THE
FOLLOWING SEASON
CULTURE.—Strawberries require rich, well-tilled soil; the plants should be set 15 inches
apart, in rows 2 feet apart; 100 plants will plant 4 rows, 30 feet long. Firm the plants well in
the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. In the middle of December cover
the beds to a depth of 3 inches with salt-, meadow-hay, straw or leaves. In April, as soon as
the plants show an indication of growth, push the covering away from the plants to allow them
to come up through. This “mulching”’ protects the plants from the cold in winter and the heat
in summer, keeps the fruit clean, and prevents the growth of weeds.
PERFECT AND PISTILLATE STAWBERRIES. The blossoms of Strawberries are either staminate
(perfect-flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate (imperfect-flowering). Pistillate varieties
must have a row of some perfect-flowering sort, flowering at the same time, planted every 9 or 12 feet apart among them, or, better yet,
every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. When properly pollenized, the pistillate varieties are usually the most
prolific. Those marked with P are pistillate.

BEST STRAWBERRIES TO PLANT
Notwithstanding the care we take to include only varieties of sterling merit in our catalogue, the amateur finds difficulty in making a
selection that will produce a bountiful supply of ‘the finest fruit from the beginning to the end of the season.
Hence the following collec-
tion, in our judgment, based on actual experience, combines in the highest degree the qualities which strawberries should have.
EARLY—Excelsior, Clyde.
MIDSEASON—Marshall, Sharpless.
LATE—Brandywine, Gandy

oe OUR TERMS
s¥RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent al-
» lowed, to be deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved
credit, accounts are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special
prices and terms are arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Ferti-
_ lizers and Insecticides are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
ORDER_EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as early
as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. We aim to ship all orders the same or next day
_ after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of
ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season
_ advances, however some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If,
however, you give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will
use our knowledge and yi to send Bee of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.
okt to change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We,
;
however, carry very large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction
may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied
by a remittance in part payment to guarantee charges.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets,
will now be carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS” rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the
regular merchandise rates to all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials”
rate is in force, the companies make a special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit
of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum charge is 35 cts. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4
per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing 100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cts. on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the
list, except that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price and 250 at
1,000 price ; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage and save transportation charges.

and a world- known authority on horticultural
and agricultural subjects, writes in Collier’s Weekly, October 29, 1910, under the head,
”
“Making of New Plants—the Creation of Improved Varieties,” the following terse and
pertinent remarks, which we take the honor of printing, as they conform to our ideas
of what quality seeds should be, and are along the lines which we are endeavoring to
proceed, and the policy which we are trying to follow. It will pay our friends and custom-
ers to read the remarks of Prof. Bailey, founded on theory and actual practice.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GROWER
‘‘T can not make my reader a plant breeder; but I want to open his
mind to a great line of progress that is little realized.
**T desire to say to him that it will pay him increasingly, as plant-
breeding methods improve, to take good care to purchase only well-bred seed,
not only of choice flowers and high-class vegetables, but of field crops as
well. It is not enough that seeds be true to name, clean of weeds, and
strong enough to grow; they should also have good ancestry or pedigree.
**T wish to suggest, further, that he will find it pleasant and profitable
work himself to improve the strain in some one or more of the plants that
he cultivates. This can often be easily accomplished by using seed from
marked plants of superior excellence, sowing these by themselves to avoid
crossing with other plants, the following year again selecting out the best
for seed.
‘*The grower of a small garden should be able to derive special per-
sonal satisfaction from this careful plant-selection effort, because the small
differences are in themselves so interesting, and the results are generally
-so readily secured. The effort is worth all it costs in training a person to
see what he looks at, if in nothing more. The most satisfactory garden is
not the one that is most perfect in the eyes of a gardener, but the one that
has the most meaning.”’

CELOSIA,
PRIDE OF CASTLE GOULD
oP Wy Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
Boddington’s Flower-Seed Novelties
and Specialties
INTRODUCTIONS OF 1910 AND FOR 1911
While every year we look upon the flower-seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less scepticism, we must not
overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or
perhaps more suspicion than the novelties of today.
There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor to select only those we know some-
thing about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The descriptions are those of
the introducers. You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions.
The New Ostrich Plume Celosia
Pride of Castle Gould
Celosia Pyramidalis Plumosa Hybrida Castle Gould (Pride of Castle Gould)
AWARDS; Large Silver Medal at the National Flower
Show, Chicago, Ill., 1908; First Class Certificate, New
York Florists’ Club, 1907; Special Diploma of Merit at
the Mineola Fair, 1907, and numerous first premiums
The Ostrich Plume Celosia, *‘The Pride of Castle Gould”’ is an
entirely distinct type of the Ce/osia pyramidalis plumosa, and surpasses by far
anything thus far placed on the market. This strain has, through constant
culture and careful selection and hybridization, proven its superiority to any-
thing similar ever offered. The following strong points speak for themselves :
HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal compact growth of from two to three
feet, With immense extra-fine feathered heads give the plant a most striking
and unique appearance.
The flowers being of such bright and intense color, and the plant
of erect growth and beautiful foliage, it creates the greatest admiration,
wherever shown, and establishes a demand for itself that every plant lover
must appreciate.
COLOR. The plumes are of many beautiful self-shades, including
Blood-red, Real Carmine, Golden Yellow, Salmon, Deep Scarlet,
y Dark Orange, and Wine-red. When fully developed, the tips of the
. plumes attain a lovely golden tint, the combination being very attractive
2s and distinctive ; “however, by variation there will be found many more
shades; the self-coloring will be surprising.
A\B
ap DECORATIVE.VALUE. As a pot plant, with its quick-growing
Celosia, Pride of Castle Gould habit, we believe there is no finer plant known at the present time, wherefrom
in the course of six months a most excellent stock of saleable plants in every
size can be obtained. As a bedding plant, it cannot be equalled by any other annual for its profusion of flowers and
variety of striking colors, and we consider it the Queen of all Decorative Annuals where the showing of groups is desired,
and when given a sunny exposure it will develop to its highest perfection. We offer seed for the first year raised strictly from
pot plants. All packets we send out will contain a mixture of the above colors.
PRICE, PER PACKET, 50 CENTS
Cultural directions by Mr. Harry Turner, the originator of this grand novelty, the head gardener at Castle Gould,
the home of Howard Gould, Esq., Port Washington, N. Y.
Sow thinly in pans of prepared soil in May or June and place in a warm house, temperature 60° to 70°, to germinate. Pot up in 2%-
inch pots, when 1 to 2 inches high. Transfer to 4-inch pots as soon as ready, making the soil richer each time, then to 6-inch and finally
to 8-inch pots if very large specimens are required. 6-inch pots are large enough to produce fine plants. Most useful for decorations.
Grow warm, shade lightly in the warmest weather, and give plenty of water and feeding during the development of the plant. When the
plumes have attained their full size, a cooler temperature will keep them a long season in fine condition.
For bedding, sow first week in May and plant out of 4-inch pots. The results will charm the most critical admirer of flowers producing
a blaze of color till killed by frost.
The amateur without glass may have equal success a little later in the season by sowing very thinly in prepared soil in the open garden
when danger from frost is over. Lift with a little earth attached, and plant out in permanent quarters about a foot apart.

Sunproof Crimson Spencer.
Maud Holmes. ( Holes, 1910.) This is undoubt-
edly one of the finest novelties of recent introduc-
tion: flowers are of the largest size, three and four to
a spray, carried on long stems, of brilliant crimson, and
blooms are of the true Spencer type, both standard and
wings being well waved. The vari

Sweet Pea Maud Holmes (Spencer)
American Varieties
(Burpee, 1910.) Is a true waved variety
of the largest and most perfect Spencer
There is naturally some variation even in Spencers, and
Ethel Roosevelt claims the most exclusive Spencer perfection. The
ground color is a soft pleasing primrose, or straw color,
overlaid with dainty flakes and splashes of blush-crimson.
The crimson is not at all pronounced and simply gives some
warmth and golden tinting to the
yellowish ground work. It bunches
splendidly and will easily lead in
this type of coloring for a long time.

Florence Nightingale.
(Burpee, 1gt0.) The flowers are
truly magnificent and of immense
size. The standard is unusually
large and bold, pronouncedly
waved, yet standing erect and
broad, frequently measuring two
inches across. The color is most
charmingly soft and yet rich laven-
der, which is enlivened by a very
faint sheen of rose-pink. The large,
well-spread wings are of the same
coloring, frilled and well-waved. It
is practically a self color and
bunches beautifully. Pkt. 25 cts.,

Dimorphotheca aurantiaca orance paisy
(NOVELTY ‘09) H.A.
This is the best annual novelty of 1909, and gave great satisfaction wherever grown. It is very easy of culture and it must be con-
sidered an amateur’s favorite. No one with a garden, no matter how small, should be without this lovely, useful, rare and extremely showy
annual from Namaqualand, South Africa, which will soon become a great favorite in all countries on account of its easy culture and beau-
tifully colored flowers. The plants, of very branchy habit, grow about 12 to 15 inches high and are exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its
Marguerite-like blossoms, 2% to 2% inches in diameter, show a unique glossy, rich orange-gold, which brilliant coloring is rendered the
more conspicuous by the dark-colored disc surrounded by a black zone. This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or borders; it
produces its pretty flowers very early after being planted out in the open ground in sunny situations and will continue to fower during the
summer months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight (see illustration). Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts., 1-16 oz. $1.

strain. The flowers resemble the incurving chrysanthemum; the
color is a gorgeous pink, of marvelous beauty. The mammoth
growth of plant insures extra-long stems; we have grown stems 40
inches long; 20 to 30 inches long is very ordinary for Aster Lady
Roosevelt, and the flowers are very large. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25
cts., %oz. $1.
Aster, Hercules Brilliant Rose. 2A: The Hercules
Aster certainly rep-
resents the highest achievement of horticultural endeavor in this
ever-popular flower. Varying in height from 16 to 20 inches, the
plant throws up sturdy, thick stalks, crowned with gigantic flowers
of the most perfect curled and waved chrysanthemum type, measur-
ing often 6 inches or more in diameter, a size attained by no other
Aster in cultivation. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 for $1.
Antirrhinum majus grandiflorum album flore
leno. (Double White Snapdragon.) HHP. A new depart-
anO. ure in the class of tall large-flowering Snapdragons is
offered. Out of the mouth-like aperture in the flowers, between the
upper and lower lips, as shown in the illustration, emerge abnormal
fantastic petals, which give a double and beard-like aspect to the
very large bloom. In sixty to seventy per cent of the seedlings this
phenomenon is more or less in evidence, the remainder producing
perfect flowers of extra size, such as are otherwise seen only in the
Queen Victoria and other grandiflorum varieties. A striking effect
is produced by the long spikes covered with these beautiful white
flowers when used for bedding, and they will be of great value as
cut-flowers for vases. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

which differs from the existing whitish long-spurred kinds with
colored spurs, by the uniform pure snowy whiteness of the entire
bloom. The latter is just as large and as long-spurred as that of
the type-form Ccerulea, and is further distinguished by beautiful
and characteristic light-green foliage. Being a smaller plant of more
graceful habit than the other Coerulea varieties, it presents an un-
commonly taking appearance and will assuredly give great pleasure

HA. Among our finest class of Balsams, the Improved Camellia-
flowered Primrose is especially prominent by reason of its large and
very double flowers. It forms strong plants about 2 feet in height,
thickly studded with large flowers of a clear yellow, a much superior
tint to that already offered as “light yellow.’’ The individual flowers
are extra-double, compact, of a pleasing rosette-like shape and
measure over two inches across. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

is of fine compact habit of growth, and covered with splendid large
and substantial flowers, with ray-like, very large petals, beautifully
quilled and fluted in cactus-dahlia fashion. The coloring surpasses
anything ever seen in Cinerarias; there are the lovely and rare corn-
flower blue tints in profusion, rich crimson and blood-red in dazzling
variety, deep rose and shell pink, most delicate peach-blossom and
cream-colored shades quite new to Cinerarias. About 250 seeds in

The Sowing of Flower Seeds
By W. H. WAITE
The raising of plants from seed is the most natural mode of reproduction;
it is from the seed that the most healthy and vigorous plants are produced.
To obtain good results, a certain amount of care in the sowing and treat-
ment must be taken; this may be summed up in the following four points.
First.--That the seeds have been perfectly ripened.
Second.—That they have been properly kept till the period of sowing.
Third.—That they be sown at the proper time.
Fourth.—That the sowing be performed in the proper manner.
Many of the flower seeds used in the garden are started in the greenhouse
or sunny window during the early spring months.
Seed-pans or shallow flats should be used. These receptacles should have
plenty of drainage, consisting of potsherds or any rough open material. The
soil should be an even mixture of sand, leaf soil and loam, finely sifted ; before
sowing this should be firmly and evenly pressed. Ifthe soil is dry, it should be
watered and rendered somewhat moist a few hours before sowing.
The main consideration which will enable any one to determine the depth
at which the seeds should be sown must always be this,—that the soil is the
medium which, in the first place, is to keep the seeds sufficiently moist for ger-
mination ; secondly, and only in those cases in which the seedlings will con-
tinue their development on the spot where they have germinated, the soil must
be looked upon as essential for the fixing of the plant. In practice, where the
seedlings are transplanted when very young, the covering of the seeds with
soil is not essential if we only keep the seed-pans covered with a piece of glass,
or even paper, in order to prevent a too rapid evaporation of the moisture.
In the sowing of very small seeds, e. g., calceolarias, gloxinias, begonias,
etc., no covering of soil should be put on the seeds at all. Larger seeds, such
as salvia, cyclamen, etc., may be covered with fine soil to a depth of twice the
diameter of the seeds. After sowing great care must be taken that the seed-
beds should never beallowed to become dry, and very great care must be taken
in the watering, especially of the finer seeds. :
The best way to moisten the seed-pans containing the fine seeds is by dip-
ping the pans in a pail of water, and allow the water to rise naturally.
The three main essentials which all plant life requires, and this relates to
seedlings as well as mature plants, are moisture, heat and air.
The seed-beds should just be kept moist—they should never be allowed to
become sodden. A safe guide for temperature is that for proper germination
the temperature should bz a little higher than the mature plant requires for
proper development.
The seeds of most Hardy Perennials may be sown at any time from Janu-
ary to-October. Early sowing should be made indoors in boxes in the same
manner as described above, or they may be sown out-of-doors in spring after
the frost kas gone, and transplanted into their fowering position in early autumn
or the following spring. There is not room in this short article for the treat-
ment of the young seedlings, but as the seedlings appear, more air and light
should be gradually given or the seedlings will be weak and drawn.
There are many seeds of flowers which may be sown out in the open
ground, such as alyssum, candytuft, calliopsis, nasturtium, sweet peas, etc.
These should be sown after all danger of frost is past, and care should be taken
that the soil is in the right condition as to moisture, etc. It is very poor prac-
tice to sow when the ground is too wet.
The soil should be finely prepared by forking over and raking the surface
evenly. The seeds should be sown in drills, the depth of the drills to be gov-
erned by the variety of seed to be sown. It is different in the case of sowing
seeds in the open than in sowing under glass, as outside, the dry winds or hot
spring weather may easily cause a temporary or fata! stoppage of growth.
These evils must be overcome by covering the seeds with sufficient soil to pre-
vent their drying out, yet they must not be sownso deep as to cut off the sup-
ply of air. A good rule to follow as to the depth that seeds sown outdoors
should be, is to cover with a layer equal to four times their diameter. In the
case of small seeds, a light shading should be given with branches or cheesecloth.

Boddington’s Quality Antirrhinums
H.H.P.
Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons, are among the most showy of flowers
for summer cutting, and for winter cutting under glass are becoming
very popular. If sown under glass during February or March they will
commence to bloom in July, and will so continue till frost. The tall or
giant varieties are extremely useful for cutting, while the dwarf kinds
are exceptionally adapted for borders and edging of beds of annuals
or other plants. Also now grown extensively under glass for winter-
flowering.

many new, beautiful and pleasing shades and combinations, and most
effective and striking contrast in the individual flowers, ranging
through all shades of lavender, blue, mauve, white, yellow, orange,

large and elegantly shaped flowers with long spurs, which, being borne
well above the pale glaucous green foliage, have a charming effect, and
being so light and elegant are much esteemed for cutting. The seed is
American-grown—upon one of the largest estates—and is specially
selected and harvested for me with a view of distributing an article of
real merit, of these pretty perennials. Seed sown early will flower the
first year. oz. $1, pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

Plants from seed sown in the open ground in May bloom finely in September and October. For July and August flowers sow in March
or April in coldframe, spent hotbeds, pots or boxes in the house. If a succession of Asters is desired, Queen of the Markets for early,
Victoria, Comets and Truffaut’s for intermediate, and the Branching
for late, are recommended. For ‘‘A few pointers on the growing of

Choice Asters of Recent Introduction (continues)
The following five beautiful varieties are seedlings of the well-
known Daybreak and Purity, and are bound to find favor with all
lovers of this beautiful class.
Aster, America (Imp. Pink Daybreak. ) it Strong
robust grower,
producing flowers of the largest size on very strong, stiff stems. In
color it is somewhat darker than Daybreak, quite resembling the
shade known as old rose. The flowers are of great substance and
very lasting after being cut, more so than most other varieties. A
valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being fully two weeks later
than Daybreak. Its flowers are in perfection with the late-branch-
ing varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 402. $2.
Aster, Salmon King (Salmon Daybreak.) fi.) ¥',"
riety we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak class. The color
is not only novel, but of a very pleasing shade, bright enough to
make it always conspicuous, although modest and unassuming in
appearance. The habit of growth, form of plant and flower are
identical with those of its parent, Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25
cts., 4oz. $2.
Aster, Lemon Drop (Yellow Daybreak.) ae spt
low Aster at last. It is a decided yellow, and as goad a grower as
any of the other varieties of the Daybreak class. The flowers are
not quite so large as those of Purity, its parent, but are more per-
fect and symmetrical in form, in fact the petals are laid so perfectly
that the flowers have a wax-like appearance. We consider ourselves
very fortunate to be able to introduce a good yellow Aster. Pkt. 15
cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.
Heal Dhises ca
Aster, Rosy Morn (Rose Daybreak. ) Peo Raa
variety. The flowers are of a handsome shade of rose, large, well
formed, double to the center, and produced in the same profusion as
the other Asters of this class. We consider it one of the best of the
Daybreak type. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., Yoz. $2.
Aster, Lavender Daybreak. ters introduced of late years,
this is the peer of them all. It may truly be called Perfection. The
habit of growth is similar to that of Daybreak, but the flowers are
somewhat larger in size, always full to the center and of a most
beautiful shade of lavender. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts.; 4oz. $2.
Collection of the above five grand Novelty Daybreak Asters,
1 pkt. each for 60 cts., 3 collections for $1.75
Aster, Improved Early Branching Semple. # 4.. A
seedling
from that grand old variety Semple’s Pink, which on account of its
earliness will certainly become equally, and we predict, more popu-
lar than its parent. The color is of the same shade of bright pink,
and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are identical, being of
the same strong, robust growth and branching habit. Its greatest
value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days earlier than
Semple’s Pink. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.
Aster, Vick’s New Early Branching. #4. A distinct
advance in the
Branching class, and now offered for the first time. The Early
Branching come into bloom about two weeks earlier than the Late
Branching. The plants have but few branches and are free from
side buds, the whole strength of the plant being given to the devel-
opment of the very few large and perfect flowers which are borne
on extra-long stems. We offer two colors only.
Early Branching White. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.
Early Branching Rose.

Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.
Aster Elegance. The following varieties are of a unique sin-
ele type, flowers large, petals beautifully
twisted, borne on long stems, very useful for cutting, and appealing
to all of esthetic tastes; plants are tall and vigorous, and deserves
a place in everv garden.

Collection of four varieties for 50 cts.
Aster (Victoria) Carmen. H.-A. An entirely new and dis-
tinct color, which appears for
the first time in Asters, and may perhaps be best described as dark
salmon, besnowed with white. It is a surprisingly handsome and
pleasing shade and when viewed in bright sunshine the effect of the
hoary-tipped red blooms is quite indescribable. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts.
for 50 cts.
Aster Early Wonder. H.A. This is the-earliest Aster in
cultivation, blooming several days
before Queen of the Market, with pure white flowers double the
size; nice shape and stands well. It is after the style of Giant
Comet, and is destined to become the leading early variety, and
will prove a great acquisition to growers requiring large, early
blooms. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., Yoz. $1.
Early Wonder Pink. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., Yoz. $1.
Early Wonder White. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4oz. $1.
: , H. A. Primrose
Aster, Giant Comet, Queen of Spain. rar
Among the Asters of recent introduction, none has created so much
sensation as Aster Victoria, Miss Roosevelt, by its delicate and
unique color. We have now in the Giant Comet the same shade,
which is greatly valued for cutting purposes, and is now proved
quite true. We have pleasure in introducing this as a novelty of
great beauty and importance. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
Aster, Diadem. 4:4: A lovely Aster of strikingly attractive
soappearance and the latest flowering variety.
The plant grows about to inches high, is of pyramidal and compact
habit, much branched, and bears a profusion of double flowers of
rather small size, measuring 1% to 1% inches in diameter; these
are quite unique in color, two or three outer rows of petals being
pure white, and forming a distinctly defined band or margin, in
charming contrast to the inner petals, which are bright rosy crim-
son, deepening to rich purple-crimson toward the center. Pkt. 25
cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
Aster Royal Purple. 2-4: The flowers are large white full
faSTEts ACY Ake center well-covered, petals flat and
incurved. Color a rich shade of Royal Purple. Season medium to
late. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., 4 oz. 50 cts.
Aster Empress Frederick. H-4. A new Comet Aster that
impressed us most favorably
the past season. The plant is rather dwarf in growth, but vigorous
and bears very large white flowers in the greatest profusion. Pkt.
25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1, 4 oz. $1.
. H.A. A_ beautiful and
Aster, Cactus, Rosy Carmine. ots Geieneeaae
pyramidal habit, the plants branch a few inches over the ground
and throw out 15 to 20 strong side shoots. The petals, nearly two
inches long, are characterized by being slightly bent or twisted
near the tip, and thus lend to the flower a kind of Cactus-like as-
pect. The first color obtained up to date is a brilliant rosy carmine,
a most lovely and effective shade. The Cactus Aster blooms
remarkably early and will be of great value for cutting purposes.
Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
New. The earliest flowering Aster.
Aster, Dawn of Day. Will flower by June 15, and if freely
cut will continue to bear blooms until late in fall. Branching in
habit and pure white in color. Flowers are large and very double.
Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., %oz. $1.00.
: : This variety originated with our Aster
Aster, Crimson King. grower who fine beat carefully select-
ing it for a number of years, until it is now perfect in every way.
It has all the good qualities of our Superb Late Branching type,
with extra large, densely double flowers, few under 5 inches across,
on stems 15 to 18 inches long, in color a very rich blood-crimson,
full of fire, making a brilliant bed or border, and very desirable for
cutting, the color showing up well under artificial light. Pkt. 15
cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., Yoz. $I.
. A magnificent variety of strong, free
Aster, Pink Beauty. upright growth, 24 to 30 inches high,
blooming from early in August until well on in September, with
frequently as many as fifty flowers open at one time on long, strong
stems, and averaging 4 inches across, of chrysanthemum shape,
the inner petals incurved, outer reflexed; color a soft, delicate blush-
pink; a shade that is always in demand for cutting. Pkt. 15 cts., 2
pkts. for 25 cts., %oz. $1.
BODDINGTON'S
ASTERS, continued
Of imposing aspect, the plants throw up a
Aster, Hercules. very strong stem, 15 to 20 inches high, which
begins to branch about 4 inches from the ground, and bears at its
summit the main central flower, while on the side-shoots appear
four to six secondary blooms. The latter, borne on remarkably
strong stalks, are all the purest white, of the genuine Hohenzollern
form, with very long petals, and attains the enormous diameter of
7 inches. Pkt. ro cts., 4%oz. 50 cts. Mixed. A mixture of fine light
colors. Pkt. 10 cts., 4%oz. 35 cts.
* The color is, as its name implies, a beautiful
Aster, Cardinal. shade of cardinal. The growth is similar to
the Branching Asters, but somewhat dwarfer, but not so dwarf as
to prevent its being one of the very best varieties for cutting pur-
poses. Begin to bloom about the middle of August and retain their
brilliant coloring for many weeks. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
A novelty of sterling merit, and a variety that
Aster, Sunset. will please all; a seedling from Daybreak. The
habit of the plant is the same as the well-known varieties Daybreak
and Purity. The color of the flowers is a delicate shade of light
pink, shading to a deep rich pink in the center, making a beautiful
combination of colors in one flower. The flowers are globe-shaped
and are borne on long stems in profusion. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.

The herbaceous Calceolaria is an easily cultivated plant. So long
as frost is excluded from the plants in winter they are perfectly safe,
and to attempt to hasten growth at any time is a failure. July is the
best month for sowing the seed. The great advance made in the
habit of the strains offered is remarkable, whilst in the colors there
is a marked improvement. Saved by England’s most famous spe-

Boddington’s Improved Marguerite
Carnations H.HP.
The earliest of all Carnations, blooming in July or August if sown
in spring, and continuing until frost. Being half-hardy perennials, a
slight protection of coarse straw or pine boughs will preserve them
during winter and they will flower profusely the next summer, or
they may be potted to bloom during winter inthe house. The flowers
are large, about 80 per cent usually coming double.
BODDINGTON’S IMPROVED MARGUERITE. From Pkt
the ease with which this fine Carnation can be flowered as an
annual it has attained a popular position, and will continue
to hold a foremost place in the garden. The beautiful double-
fringed flowers make a brilliant display of attractive coloring
in the open, and they are greatly prized for border or table
decoration. Our strain produces an unusually high percent-
age of doubles. Height, 18 in. Mixed colors....-..-....++0++ $0 75

The great merit of this strain is that it produces an admirable form

all the trouble of wintering the plants. A succession of these popu-

This new Centaurea represents the best that has
been produced in these beautiful summer-bloom-
ing plants. The bushes are about 4 feet high, and
are covered with large, beautiful flowers of the
form and fragrance of Centaurea Margaritae. The
flowers will keep for over a week in water, if cut
just when they are about to open. It is of easiest
culture. If a package is sown every two or three
weeks until July, a constant succession of bloom
can be had throughout the whole summer and fall.
This is one of the best of the hardy cut-flowers,
and they are forced very extensively under glass
by florists.

Boddington’s Matchless Cinerarias
In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistak«
ften made is that
of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sow-
; ing in May and June, plants large enough for all decorative purposes
can be had. In after-treatment the aim should be to secure as hard a
growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are best.

fully 4 in. in diameter, their color being a soft
clear sulphur-yellow, with a conspicuous maroon
blotch at the base of each petal. They are only
ephemeral, but are borne in large numbers and
quick succession, and make a splendid display
for a long time. In habit the plant resembles the
ricinus, with deep green leaves, which render it
very ornamental even when not in flower. It is
very effective in pots for greenhouse decoration,
or makes splendid specimens in beds or borders.
Although a perennial, we advise the treatment
of a half-hardy annual. Pkt. 50 cts.

Boddington’s Quality Double
Hollyhocks HP. 6 ft.
The Hollyhock is among the most stately of
our garden plants. It is impressed on our mem-
ory since childhood and revives many pleasant
thoughts. The colors vary in every shade, from
pure white to the darkest red. Are easily the
most attractive feature in the garden. Holly-
hocks succeed best in a rich, well-drained soil,
and should be lightly protected during the win-
ter months with coarse straw or spruce boughs.
For distinct effect in large groups they are
matchless.

Our Primala Stnensty seed has beer ’ grown for us
by the most celebrated English Primu t. The flowers

Considerable
are remarkable, not only for size, b«
colors, but for the great substanc«
care is necessary in order to secure the successful germination
of the seed of the choice kinds of P. Sirens Che most suit-
able periods for sowing are January to May for autumn, and
June to August for spring bloomin Shallow pans, well
drained, are the best, the soil consisting of sandy loam and
leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve ; the pans when thus pre-
pared, should be well watered before the seed is sown. Only a
slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be
guarded against is drought; the soil should be kept in as equa-
ble degree of moisture as possible, never
being on the dry side. We attribute more
failures to this cause than to any other.
Just at the time when the seed commences
to germinate the least departure from this
is fatal

Patens compacta nana. This variety is a great improve-
ment over the well-known Salvia Patens. The very robust-
growing plants are extremely free-flowering. If sown early
under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of 18 inches,
begin to bloom in early July. On account of the very compact
and regularly formed plants, it produces an unusual number
of flower-stems, on which you will always find from three to
five open flowers. The plants are so much more compact and
dwarf than the type that the flower-stems are considerably
longer and freer, surmounting luxuriant dark green foliage. On
account of the rare color, namely, navy blue, this novelty, no
doubt, is extremely desirable and should be one of the best ie

This strain is superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much larger, better shaped, and the colors
show a wide range, including shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and purple, in various markings,
and combinations. In habit, the plants are very dwarf and bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. Schizanthus plants
have become indispensable for greenhouse and conservatory decoration, and as a pot-plant for decoration they are unequaled.

W. H. WAITE IN “HORTICULTURE”
The S. hizanthus grandifiorus Boddingtonti, when well grown, is one of the most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. As a con-
servatory plant it is unequaled, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest
things that can be used. The past season we have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is cf very easy ;
culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-bound,
but should always be kept on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in.
The finest variety that I have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single j
spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and,the introducer,
Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all
that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.

Dear Sir:
Just a bunch of Dorothy Eck ford, picked ana
photographed Sept. 26, 1910.
Thought that perhaps you would be glad to
know that the seeds I got from you blossomed
well, even after being soaked and almost sprout-
ing in the Wellington, Wash., disaster, and can,
up-to-date, pick nice long-stemmed Sweet Peas.
Yours very truly,

QUALITY SWEET PEAS
E are headquarters for ail the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a specialty of this grand
W annual. Our collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date varieties have been eliminated,
avherever practical, and only those of real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there are nearly six hundred
named farieties, you will doubtless miss some old favorite that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety ;
we could certainly send a variety equally good.
The Spencer or orchid-flowering types are coming strongly to the fore, but many are not yet thoroughly ‘‘set.”’ The
“Unwin’s”’ are all good, and many grandiflora varieties are still holding their own.
If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions.
At the exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, held at New York City, July 12 and 13, I910, we were
again awarded the
C. C. MORSE CO.’S SILVER CUP
for the finest exhibit of Sweet Peas. Ofen fo the trade only.
For the forthcoming 1911 exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America (time and place to be announced
later) we take pleasure in offering our
CHALLENGE SILVER CUP. Value $50.
FOR A. COLLECTION OF SWEET PEAS, 25 VARIETIES, NOT LESS THAN
25 STEMS TO A VASE, TO BE SHOWN WITH SWEET PEA FOLIAGE ONLY
TO BE WON TWICE BY THE SAME EXHIBITOR
We will also award to the winner of this cup (each time won) a cash prize of $25; $15 second prize
and $10 third prize
This Cup was won in 1910 by Hugh Birch, gardener to the Hon. Seth Low, Mt. Kisco, N. Y.
Are you a member of the National Sweet Pea Society of America? If not, you should send for an application blank; the
annual dues are $2, life membership, $25. By becoming a member you are entitled to the report of the Sweet Pea trials of
Cornell University, Ithaca, XN. Y., where over 600 varieties were grown during the summer of 1910. ‘These trials, which have
been under the supervision of Profs. Craig and Beals, will be published about January 1, 1911, and will be a most comprehensive
and exhaustive work, covering experiments with fall and spring sowing, and other valuable tests. For further information, write

A Few Hints on the Successful Growing of Sweet Peas
BY AN EXPERT
Buy your seeds early and sow early.
Never sow seed of Sweet Peas on the sam , successive years. If your garden is small and you find this necessary, the soil should
be removed and filled in afresh following th ictions given below. ; . :
The soil for Sweet Peas should be ric! jeep and prepared early (preferably in the fall of the year) if this can be done; good
slaked lime and wood ashes should be thoro dug into the ground. ; ;
A good rich turfy loam is the ideal soil for growing Sweet Peas, thoroughly enriched with good rotted ont P
manure or bone meal, and dug in as deeply as poss ible. ; ; "
If your soil is not of the above consistency dig a trench two feet deep and two feet wide and fill with
fourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer, according to the condition of the soil.
Do not sow your Sweet Peas thickly or too thinly (one ounce of Sweet Peas to five feet is a fair
average). If the Peas should grow too thickly, thin out to about two inches apart, but not neces-
sarily in a single row, rather alternate LoeViz ene aener ake
Seed of the black-seeded varieties can be sown
as soon as the frost is out of the ground, provided
it is not too wet, the white-seeded varieties should
not be sown until the ground is warm and dry.
Before sowing, pulverize your soil in the trench
about three inches deep. Sow seeds, in a double
row about ten inches apart, about two inches below
the surface and tread down firmly.
For training the vines, use either “brush’”’
(that is branches of birch or other light material)
or large mesh wire netting held by posts, the brush
or the netting should run about five feet above the
ground.
It is as well to stake, brush or erect
your wire netting before the seedlings get
too tall, better perhaps when seed is
sown.
Dry and hot weather affect Sweet Peas
very quickly. They should be watered
very frequently and thoroughly, and the
application of liquid manure given once a
week. A good heavy mulch of long straw
manure covering the ground around the
Sweet Peas should be applied as soon as
warm weather sets in. This prevents the ground
from drying out and keeps the soil cool.
The flowers should be cut as often as possible
and all seed pods removed as soon as they appear.
By attending to this properly, it greatly lengthens
the life of the vine and the flowering season.
A partial shade during the hottest parts of the
day is very essential to secure the
best color in the blooms, it also
protects the vines from the strong
rays of the sun. If possible to
protect the lower growth of the
Peas, this should be done also.
If Sweet Peas should be at-
tacked by the green, black or
white fly, they should be thor-
<oughly sprayed with one of the
several Nicoteen preparations that
sare offered on page 142.
The greatest enemy of young
Sweet Peas is the cut-worm, and they
are so destructive as to prevent some
people from having a good stand of
Sweet Peas at any time. They usually
take the young shoots as soon as they
appear, and while some plants will send out
new shoots and grow again after being cut off,
most of them are cut too far down and are ruined.
A sprinkling of slaked lime over the row or watering
with lime water helps to keep out the cut-worms.
A handful of grass dipped in a solution of Paris
green will sometimes attract the worms, the poison
killing them.
FARMOGERM, which we offer among the
fertilizers on page 142, is an excellent agent for the
successful growing of Sweet Peas, if the instruc-
tions for the use of this article are carefully fol
lowed.
One of the most necessary things in the culti-
vation of Sweet Pcas is the proper feeding of th
plants, when they are in full growth a change of
“food” is particularly essential. When they start
into bloom a good application of Scotch soot, ap-
plied in liquid form, improves the color of flower
and foliage to a remarkable degree. Aurora Spencer. (For description see page 53)

Gigantic Orchid-Flowering Sweet Peas, Countess Spencer
Hybrids, 1910 and Recent Introductions
The Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas are fast superseding the Grandiflora types of the same variety and color, and are indispensable in a
collection whether for exhibition or decorative purposes. The following list is the cream of the beautiful creations of the hybridizer’s art,
and can be relied upon to come true to type and description. A few varieties are not yet quite fixed, but in the main, as stated before, dis-
appointments and complaints are few. We still catalogue a very fine list of the Grandiflora types which are highly recommended, also the
winter-flowering varieties, which, if sown outside, will flower about two weeks earlier than the Spencers or Grandifloras, thus prolonging
the season for show or cutting.
you or send a variety equally good, or that has superseded it.
ASTA OHN SPENCER. This variety is lavender, suffused or
tinted with mauve, and will undoubtedly take its place as the best
lavender in the Spencer selections Large and wavy; large wavy
wings also. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., %1b. $1., lb. $3.
APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. This is a reproduction of the
long-time popular Apple Blossom Sweet Pea, but of enlarged size
and the true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful; the petals
are waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct ser-
_ rations on edges of standard. (See illustration page 58.) Pkt.
15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., U(lb. $1., Ib. $3.
AURORA SPENCER. This is an exact counterpart, as to color,
of Aurora Sweet Pea, which has been so long considered the best
of all the striped and mottled varieties. The ground color of the
flower is cream-white, and this is exquisitely flaked and mottled
with rich orange-salmon. (See illustration page 52.) Pkt. 20 cts.,
3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., Y%Ib. $2.
AMERICA SPENCER. A grand variety like America, but of
the Countess Spencer type, and very large flowers, generally four
onastem. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, Ib. $3.
BLACK KNIGHT SPENCER. Very dark bronze. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.
BLANCHE FERRY SPENCER. Pale rosy standard; white
wings. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, ib. $3.
CAPTAIN OF THE BLUES SPENCER. Standard purple,
wings bright blue. A bright, striking variety, and decidedly new
in the Spencers. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25c., oz. 35c., 4 lb. $1, Ib. $3.
COUNTESS SPENCER. Bright, clear pink, showing a little
deeper at the edge. The form is open and the margins of the
petals are wavy. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 4 Ib. 35 cts., Ib. $1.25.
DAINTY SPENCER. Has beautifully formed standard and
wings; in a bud state it looks like a pale primrose self, but when
opening first appears to be white, but quickly changes to white with
a pink edge, more defined at the back, making a most charming
contrast and quite a new departure. Generally three but often
four flowers ona stem. A great acquisition and should be in all
best collections. Avoca was another name suggested for it. This
variety does best cut in a bud state and opened in water. Pkt. 20
cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., 4 lb. $2.
FLORA NORTON SPENCER. This is a bright blue, with a lit-
tle tint of purple, perhaps a little more than the original Flora
Norton. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, lb. $3.
FLORENCE MORSE SPENCER. Delicate blush with pink
margin. Very large, open, wavy form of the best Countess Spen-
cer type, with long stems and four blossoms to the stem. Pkt. 10
cts., oz. 15 cts., 4% lb. 4o cts., lb. $1.50.
GAIETY SPENCER. Striped with rosy magneta. Pkt. 15 cts., 2
pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, Ib. $3.
GEORGE STARK (SPENCER). F. F. C.and Silver Medal, 1908,
England National Sweet Pea Society’s Trials, Reading; F. F. C.,
Wolverhampton; F. F. C., Norwich. This variety is the finest
scarlet pea yet in commerce. The flower is bold and has extraor-
dinary substance. The standard is nicely waved and upright, but
owing to the thickness of the petal is not so crinkled as some of the
Spencers. Both for exhibition and decorative purposes it is good,
also stands the sun perfectly. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, oz. $2.
JUANITA SPENCER. White striped with lavender. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., %lb. $1, Ib. $3.
KING EDWARD SPENCER. The nearest approach in color
(crimson) to the popular King Edward VII in the waved or Spen-
cer type. The standard measures from 1% to 2 inches across by
1% inches deep ; the wings are 1% inches wide by 1% inches long.
Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, Ib. $3.
LOVELY SPENCER. Like its predecessor, “‘ Lovely.” Bright
pink at the throat, or rather the base of both standard and wings,
and shades to soft blush and almost white at the edges. Pkt. 15
cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 Ib. $1, Ib. $3.
If you should miss any old favorite from our list, let us know what it is and we will either procure it for
MRS. WALTER WRIGHT SPENCER. A magnificent rosy
mauve. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, Ib. $3.
MRS. ROUTZAHN SPENCER. This variety can be described
as Florence Morse Spencer on primrose ground. The blending
shades are soft rose and buff and primrose, with a decided rose
edge. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, Ib. $3.
MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old
favorite, Mrs. Sankey, will at once recognize this as a “ Black-
Seeded White’’ Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25
cts., oz. 35 cts., ¥lb. $1, Ib. $3.
MARIE CORELLI (SPENCER). The large flowers are brilliant
rose-carmine or red, uniformly of true Spencer form. The wings
are a pure, rich rose-carmine, while the standard shows a tint of
cherry-red. The whole effect is that of a brilliant crimson, clear,
distinct and most beautiful. The standard is large, round and
wavy; the wings are full and inclined to remain boldly outright
instead of drooping. Marie Corelli is a variety that belongs in all
first dozen sets, and will become one of the standard shades
in Spencers. (See illustration, page 56.) Pkt., 20 seeds, 15 cts.,
2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. $1.
MIRIAM BEAVER (SPENCER). In shape, size, graceful ar-
rangement on the stems, free blooming and seedless nature, it is in
all respects the same as Countess Spencer. Its novelty is its color—
a glowing but soft apricot, tinted, shaded and suffused with lemon.
A little variation, perhaps, with a tint of salmon, deeper by a trifle
on the back of the standard, but practically a self color. The color
might be said to approach a terra-cotta tint, especially so as it har-
monizes so beautifully with golden brown. Owing to this variety
not coming true, it has been withdrawn this year.
OTHELLO SPENCER. This beautiful new Sweet Pea of the true
Spencer type will appeal to those having a preference for the
darker colors. A rich, deep maroon. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts.,
oz. 40 cts., Wlb. $1.25, lb. $4.
PRINCESS BEATRICE SPENCER. The ground is white,
tinted with soft pink and buff on the standard, while each wing has
a blotch of brighter pink near the base. One of the most delicate
and dainty varieties. Pkt. 15c.,2 pkts. 25c., oz. 35c., 4 Ib. $1, lb. $3.
PRINCE EDWARD OF YORK SPENCER. Bold rosy sal-
mon, some say salmon-carmine standard, with rosy wings, a
charming combination of color; usually three, sometimes four,
flowers on a stem. Some growers say it loses color when cut, but
this is obviated by adding a little sulphur of iron to the water-
Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50cts., oz. 60 cts., WIb. $2.
PRIMROSE SPENCER. The color is a pronounced primrose or
creamy yellow throughout both standard and wings. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 for 25 cts., oz. 35 cts, Wlb. $1, lb. $3.
PICOTEE (SPENCER). A lovely new and distinct variety, Spen-
cer form. Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and
well waved. In most cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well
placed and of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing
often seen in certain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower
and should be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as
an exhibition or garden variety. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. $1-
QUEEN ALEXANDRA SPENCER. This is the Spencer type
of this admirable variety and one of the best of the self-colored
crimson-scarlets, beautifully curved and fluted. Pkt. 20 cts., 3
pkts. 50 cts., oz. 60 cts., 4% Ib. $2.
RAMONA SPENCER. Like the well-known Ramona, this va-
riety is clear white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush-
pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Both stan-
dard and wings are wavy, fluffy, and it is very seldom one finds a
stem with less than four blossoms: delicate and beautiful. Pkt. 15
cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 1b. $1, lb. $3. .
RUBY SPENCER. This may be best described as an improved
Saint George, or more of a self, the wings being almost the same
color as the standard; will be the best of this class. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY SWEET PEAS
ARRANCED TO COLOR WITH ECKFORD’S CLASSIFICATION
Sweet Peas have been termed the poor man’s orchid. But no garden is too lowly or too large to contain some of this delightful an-
nual. Easy of culture, well repaying any slight trouble and attention attending their growing. Our list contains the cream of the American
and English varieties, selected by us with great care and with the assistance of the largest Sweet Pea growers and specialists of the world.
Our alphabetical list contains all the varieties catalogued by us, including the best novelties for 1909 and of 1910, selected with regard to
their “‘ fixity’’ and their superiority over existing varieties. Following are the varieties contained in our alphabetical list arranged under
their color heads with descriptions and price. Our advice is to order early and sow early for best results. The best time as soon as the frost
is out of the ground—and it is not too wet.
THE CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS By the Rev. McGee Pratt, the well-known authority on Sweet Peas. Dig a trench 1 foot
* deep and 1 foot wide; at bottom tramp down 3 inches manure, then place 4 inches good
soil, also firmed down well. Sow Peas in double row, not too thick, and cover with earth to top of trench. If firmed to 1 inch below the sur-
face, it does best in a dry season. Never draw soil on top of the growing vines; it settles in the crown formed just above the ground, holds
water and rots the plant, and the dead vine is then believed to suffer from the blight. All Peas should be well firmed in well-pulverized soil.
The greatest enemy to young Sweet Peas is the cutworm, and they are so destructive as to prevent some people from ever having a
good stand of Sweet Peas. They usually take the young shoots just as they come up, and while some plants will send out new shoots and
grow again after being cut off, most of them are cut too far down and are ruined. A sprinkling of lime over the row sometimes helps to keep
out the cutworms. A handful of grass, dipped in a solution of Paris green, will sometimes attract the worms and the poison kills them.

*DAINTY SPENCER. Has beautifully formed standard and
wings; in a bud state it looks like a pale primrose self, but when
opening first appears to be white, but quickly changes to white
with a pink edge, more defined at the back, making a most charm-
ing contrast and quite a new departure. Generally three, but
often four flowers on a stem. A great acquisition and should be
in all best collections. Avoca was another name suggested for it.
This variety does best cut in a bud state and opened in water.

*PICOTEE. A lovely new and distinct variety, Spencer form.
Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and well waved.
In most cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well placed and
of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing often seen
in certain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower, and
should be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as an
exhibition or garden variety. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 for 50 cts., oz. $1.

This variety is the finest scarlet
pea yet in commerce. The
flower is bold and has extra-
ordinary substance. The stan-
dard is nicely waved and up-

Viola (Scotch, or Tufted Pansies)
The Scotch Violas, or Tufted Pansies, have of late years been
greatly appreciated. There are a great number of varieties, varying
in color from pale lavender to deep rich purple, with many charming
intermediate shades. They are very free-flowering, and cannot be
| surpassed for bedding purposes; in light, rich soil and a moist situa~-
tion they will continue to bloom from spring till late in the autumn.
They are also useful for ribbon borders, where they make a fine dis-
play. We have been repeatedly asked for seed of these most beauti-
ful Violas, so offer the following, which we consider the finest for
all purposes. PEEL woe

Palm Seeds
We make it a point to deliver nothing but absolutely fresh seeds of
the different varieties of Palm Seeds, shipments of which we are
constantly receiving from various parts of the tropics. Asthe various
varieties ripen at different seasons of the year, we have indicated
below, as nearly as possible, when each sort will arrive, and as these
seeds loose their germination very quickly, we earnestly solicit orders
in advance. Per 100

Ornamental Grasses
The perennial varieties, many of which have beautifully variegated
foliage, are valuable for borders and clumps on lawns or among
shrubs. The annual sorts are chiefly grown for their elegant flower
panicles, which are useful in bouquet work and for dried flowers.

A FEW POINTERS ON THE GROWING OF ANNUAL ASTERS
It is best to never plant in the same location the second season. Give plenty of room, rows 2% or 3 feet apart, and from 12 to 15 inches
apart in the rows; the distance to be regulated by the growth of the variety planted.
Pulverized sheep manure, wood-ashes and phosphate are the best fertilizers. If stable manure is used, let it be well decomposed.
In order to secure plants of good size for April and May, the seed should be sown in early March. For the grower’s own use as a cut-
flower, the seed may be sown from the first week in March until the end of April, beginning with the Early Queen of the Market, following
with the mid-season varieties and ending with the late branching varieties. There is nothing to be gained by sowing aster seed too:
early, as seed sown in January will not bloom a dav earlier than seed sown in March or April, nor will the plants be as tall, healthy or flori-
ferous. Early sowings of seed are best made in flats in the greenhouse; later sowings may be made in hotbeds or coldframes or sunny win-
dows. Do not cover the seed too deep. Seed may be sown broadcast or in drills, and covered with a little less than ¥ of an inch of soil.
Root-lice or root-aphis, cutworms, the aster bug or fly and rust or yellows are the worst pests and disease that we have to contend with
in growing asters.
For the root-lice and cutworm, kerosene emulsion, tobacco water, wood-ashes mixed with water, are all good and effective if applied
around the roots.
For the aster bug or fly, sprinkle the plants with air-slaked lime and Paris green, which holds them in check. The proportion should
be 1 pound of Paris green to 100 pounds of air-slaked lime.
The yellows or rust is a fungus which appears on the under side of the leaf, and is one of the worst diseases that the grower of asters has.
to contend with. But this fungus can easily be held in check by spraying the under side of the plants with a solution composed of carbonate
of copper, ammonia and water in the proportion of one pound of carbonate of copper, one pint of ammonia and one barrel of water. Use this
preparation at once, if the fungus appear, and use every alternate day until the plants have had several applications; this will kill the
fungus.
“The aster blight is generally caused by the work of some of the above insects, and if at any time the plants get too badly diseased, the
best thing to do is to pull them up and burn them.
The Hollyhock Disease
For the past years the Hollyhock has been the victim of a virulent form of disease (Puccinea malvacearum) which has wrought great
havoc amongst them by destroying all their foliage and rendering them very unsightly just when coming into flower; this has baffled many
in their attempts to grow them. In order to check the spread of this fungus we recommend the following remedy, which is being used with
satisfactory results:
To 1 lb. of tobacco powder add % oz. of finely powdered sulphate of copper, well mixed; dust the under surface of the foliage (or wher-
ever attacked) with the powder every two or three weeks during the growing season, choosing a dull, still day for the operation; this
will be found effectual.
Should there be any difficulty in procuring the mixture, we can supply it direct in 1 lb. packets at 25 cts. per Ib., 10 Ibs. for $2.
We are agents for Sutton & Sons, “The King’s Seedsmen,”’
England, and are much indebted to them for many illustrations
appearing in this Garden Guide. We will send their catalogue and
amateur guide free to customers purchasing to amount of $5, or more,
on request, or will send same to inquirers for 50 cents, postpaid.

ALKEKENGI (Physalis edulis)
This is the well-known Cape Gooseberry, and should be grown 4 great deal more than
it has been in the United States. It is an excellent variety for preserving, and, in fact,
is a real Wonder Berry. This variety should not be confounded with Physalis pubescens,
known as Husk Tomato. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 for 25 cts., 40z. 30 cts., 0Z. 50 cts.
CABBAGE
BODDINGTON’S EARLIEST DWARF BLOOD RED. Quite a distinct dwarf,

and sets fruit freely. Pkt. 60 cts. and 75 cts.
ONION
THE GIANT. The latest and most important novelty in exhibition Onions. This is not an
improved strain of Ailsa Craig or Excelsior, but, grown under the same conditions, produces
bulbs one-third larger than the best selections of these two varieties. Pale yellow in color.
Pkt. 25 cts., %oz. 60 cts., oz. $1.
BODDINGTON’S SILVER BELL. This is a remarkably quick-growing Onion, speci-
ally adapted for early work or forcing, ana can be “‘pulled’’ six weeks after sowing, or can
be used for pickling, making solid bulbs of excellent quality. We can highly recommend this variety, for
salading or other purposes. Pkt. 10 cts., %0z. 30 Cts., 0Z. 50 Cts.
SWEET CORN
LIVINGSTON’S EARLY SUGAR. For productiveness and uniformity of product, Livingston’s Early
Sugar is hard to beat. Where two stalks stood to a hill, sixty per cent of the stalks produced two handsome,
large ears. On hills with three or more plants, we counted from five to seven ears of faultless shape, well-
filled to tip. Ears are set well up the stalk, from 20 to 30 inches above base of plant. Pkt., containing about

Owing to the exceedingly short crop of garden Peas (in many cases a total failure), prices are much higher than
last year. We have secured, however, some fine English stocks, and our customers can rely as usual on the high quality
of the seed and the results, which are most important, and that ‘‘ quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”

Boddington’s English-Grown Peas
One quart will plant about 25 feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring
brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; and continue, for a suc-
cession, every two weeks until June. Those marked with a star (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown
thicker than the round Peas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot.
For the past years we have handled, almost exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season
have been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Pezs can
always be relied upon as absolutely true, free from “‘rogues,’’ hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater strength
and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop.
The following are the best Peas for all Purposes
A concensus of opinion obtained from the leading private gardeners of the United States by personal letters and conversation

The stock of our improved Gradus Pea
has been selected for us by one of the
leading Pea specialists in Europe. The
merits of this Pea over the existing va-
riety are its extreme earliness, produc-
tiveness and continued bearing. Height
about 3 feet, and of robust growth. Pods
are large and well filled, containing at
times as high as ten peas, which are
sweet and tender, and remain so for
several days after being gathered. Pt.
60 cts , qt. 75 cts , %pk. $2.75, pk. $5.25,
bus $20.
* (See illustration,
Early Morn. page 71.) An Eng-
lish variety of the Gradus type with
many desirable qualities. In our trial
grounds it matured about the same time
as Gradus, and bore large, handsome
pods in profusion. The peas are large,
closely packed in the pod, and the flavor
is sweet and delicious. Those who know
the good qualities of Gradus will not be
disappointed in their trial of this variety.
This grand introduction maintains its
position as one of the best early Marrow-
fat Peas ever raised. Although so early,
the seed should not be sown until the
soil is in a fit state to receive it early in April, as it is arapid grower.
The pods are very large and well filled. and are often ready to pick
during June. Height about 3 feet. Pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., %pk. $2.75,

5 teet, with large, straight, medium-dark

length containing nine to ten peas in a
pod, good flavor; an excellent variety
for second-early use. “‘ This grand Pea,
which has caused such a stir in the horti-
cultural world during the past season, is
the outcome of a cross between Alder-
man and Edwin Beckett. In general
character it resembles the former, but the
pods are corsiderably larger than either
parent. In our own trials it has amply
demonstrated its wonderful superiority,
and when exhibited in the open class at
Shrewsbury, 1910, it EASILY SECURED

the height is.from 5 to 6 feet.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT is a heavy cropper
and exceedingly prolific, the pods
hanging mostly in pairs; the con-
stitution is wonderfully vigorous
and hardy, far excelling, in this
respect, many of the marrow va-
rieties ; the color of both pods and
haulm is a rich, velvety green,—
to be exact, one might call it a
Mammoth Alderman.
“‘T sent a sample of Boddington’s
Mammoth Marrowfat Peas to the Alaska-
Yukon Exposition last fall, and received
a diploma and a bronze medal for them.
The peas were grown in my garden here.
They grew to an enormous size.”’ Alp ‘
Yours truly, ,
Mrs. F. DOREE, os Boddington’s Mammoth Marrowfat Pea
Skagway, Alaska. (Natural size)
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH MARROWFAT is a grand exhibition variety ; it is unbeatable for this purpose.

The varieties of this class are tender, and wili not bear much cold. Plant about the middle of April, if
the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finish-
ing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart
and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry;
working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.

BODDINGTON’S
BUSH LIMA BEANS
The * Burpee-Improved” Bush Lima
is an entirely ‘‘New Creation.’’ The pods are truly enormous in
size, borne in great abundance upon bushes 2% feet high by 2 feet
across. The Beans are both larger and thicker than those of the
popular Burpee’s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole
Lima. An expert’s opinion. ‘‘This is the finest Bush Lima that has
ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and 20 to 24 inches
high with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very pro-
lific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven
pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod con-
tains three, four or five beans, and there are more pods containing
five than there are containing three beans; so that there is an im-
provement of from one to two beans in each pod, and this, taken
with the great number of pods borne, makes the yield enormous. In
quality this Bean ranks with the very best and the beans are of large
size. In earliness it comes before Henderson’s and Burpee’s Bush,
and is about a week earlier than the latter. This Bean is bound to
be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima—a continuous bearer.””

(Selected.) Remarkablyearly. Ex-
ceedingly prolific. Long green pods,
always solid, tender and delicious
flavor. This extra-early variety, al-
though comparatively new, has been
pretty widely distributed, and we
have yet to hearanything but praise
about its fine quality and other mer-
its; itis, in fact, an ideal snap Bean,
producing a fine crop of round,
straight, solid, fleshy pods averaging
6%2 inches long, wonderfully tender
and brittle, without a trace of tough
interlining, and having no string
when broken, excepting when the
pods arequiteold. The flavor is most
delicious, captivating the most criti-
cal, while the delicate green color of
the pods is retained after cooking,
adding to its attraction when served.
The plants are of robust, compact
habit, unexcelled in bearing quali-
ties, maturing the crop very regu-
larly. It is extra early, the pods
being fit to pick fourdays in advance

Carpintera (Green-

These Beans are the product of
two vines which appeared as
sports in a crop of Burpee’s Im-
proved Bush Lima. Their supe-
riority attracted attention and they
were saved for stock seed. The
vine is very strong, of vigorous
growth; is a broad-seeded Bean
and much thicker than the ordi-
nary pole lima. The green tint is
a distinctive feature of this Bean,
for it retains this tint in the dry
state to a greater extent than usual,
which indicates the fine qualities
which it possesses, being finely
flavored and more tender when
it is cooked than white-seeded
Beans; thereby making it more
pleasing to gardeners and house-
keepers. It is the most perfect

The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground nas
become warm; for a succession continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet
apart each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants to a hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the

Cole’s Early. where Melons never matured before. Just as val-
uable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks before
any other. This is the finest Watermelon for the family garden.
People, particularly in our northern states, can now enjoy, from the
beginning to the close of the season, most delicious Watermelons,
for Cole’s Early is not only the earliest variety in cultivation, but it
continues to bear throughout the season. The beautiful bright red
flesh is crisp and of delicate texture—granulated, cool and spark-
ling. In flavor it is lusciously sweet and refreshing. The Melons are
not large, seldom over 12 inches in length by 9 inches in diameter,
but what they lack in size is more than made up in number and
solidity. The heart is iarge, there is little or no cavity, and very
few seeds—all solid flesh, the quality of which is sustained clear to
the rind. It can be grown successfully over a larger latitude than
any other Watermelon, and it will mature large crops in northern
states when the season is as long as that of New York. Pkt. 6 cts.,

a seasoning for soups and meats.

used for this purpose and pick-

like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are used
for mangoes, while the small-fruited sorts a

Solanum Commersoni Violet
THE BLUE POTATO OF
URUCUAY FOR WET SOIL
Obtained by Mr. Labergerie in 1901, by
special selection, from the wild Solanum
Commersoni, growing on the shores of the
Mercedes river, near Monte-
video, and introduced in
France, the first time in 1767, by
the French botanist, Mr. Com-
merson.
The advantages of this new
Potato are as follows. First:
It is more productive than any
other Potato. Second: It is an
excellent table variety, a sure
and heavy cropper, of good
flavor when cooked, baked or
boiled. Third: It is especially
adaptable to wet, very wet and
even to marshy, boggy soil;
the wetter the soil the greater
the yield. Fourth: It resists
all diseases, even cannot be at-
tacked by the phytoph-
tora.
Its yield has been de-
clared, by trials made by
the Academie des Scien-
ces, to be 36 tons, or 720
cwt. per acre. Certain
plants have produced
more than 12 pounds of
Potatoes per square foot.

ing Radish,
round, short-leaved, scarlet
(Novelty, ’09). One of its most
prominent features is the perfect
regularity of its fine round shape
and its very small tap-root. A
further improvement gained by
careful selection consists in its be-
ing very short-leaved and of a vivid
scarlet coloration. Thetastefulness
of its tender and crisp flesh is un-
rivaled and will be acknowledged
by every one who has compared
this, my introduction, with other
varieties. ‘‘Giant Batter’’ does not,
in spite of its uncommon size, be-
come hollow and pithy, but keeps
crisp and juicy for weeks, even
longer than anyother kind. Owing
to its short leaves it may now be
successfully used for forcing. Its
size, of course, demands a broader
as well as a deeper sowing which
will but recompense by a good
crop, as five to six Radishes gen-
erally have a weight of one pound.

transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over,
4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have a shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil.
Water freely at time of transplant-

ESCULENT PLANTS, ROOTS AND HERBS
Helants The wonderful new winter vegetable. The greatest addition to the vegetable
kingdom for many years. Acomplete substitution in taste for fresh asparagus.
Yields half as much again as the potato.
DESCRIPTION.—Helianti is a hybrid of the sunflower family. It attains a height of 10
feet or more, is very ornamental with its deep green foliage and produces an abundance of
bright yellow flowers. Its important economic use, however, is the edible root tubers. It has
been found absolutely unaffected by extreme heat and by severest cold, and it, therefore,
can be grown in any part of this continent. It will thrive in any kind of soil—from the wet-
test to the driest—but it responds quickly to generous treatment and it should be grown in
good soil for best results.
THE CULTURE.—It is very easy; plant the tubers in the spring in rows about 3 feet
apart each way, and hill the plants up once before laying them by.
THE HARVEST AND STORAGE are just as simple. After the stems have become dry in
late fall, plow the tubers up just like potatoes and store them in a pit like sweet potatoes, or
in a cellar or barn, covering them with a layer of moist sand. Where winters are not so
severe, the tubers may be even left in the field and dug when needed. In that case a light
mulching is advisable. If any tubers should dry out in storage, the soaking in water for a
few hours will soon restore their fresh appearance and taste.
THE TASTE OF HELIANTI is rather difficult to define. It has been pretty well described
as resembling somewhat that of French artichokes and then again of asparagus, with a dis-
tict flavor of mushrooms. Thereis not the least doubt that Helianti will soon be one of the
most popular vegetables in this country, as it has already made its place in many countries
of Europe, because it combines easy digestibility with good flavor and productiveness,
permitting of a reasonable market price.
THE PREPARATION OF HELIANTI FOR THE TABLE is simple in its rudiments. There
are, of course, hundreds of ways open to the ingenious housewife, but we will mention here
a few of the very simplest only. Scrape the tuber, soak in cold water (this is important as
it retains the whiteness of the meat) and cook quickly after adding the usual condiments.
Rad Or, boil soft in salted water and serve with butter and freshly chopped parsley. Or, cut up
- — — - and fry the tubers, when they excel French-fried potatoes in taste. Tubers, 25 cts. each,

FORCING ele, KALE ROOTS
(Crambe Maritima)
Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in
Europe. It is one of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be
forced like rhubarb, or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will
bleach. In form and flavor it isnot unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but
boiled and served with drawn butter. We are importing some especially fine
stock this. winter.
Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crown. $2 per doz., $15 per 100.
ASPARAGUS ( Asparagus officinalis )
Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow, going twice
in a row, getting row as deepas possible without getting in the yellow soil, spread
in row good well-rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about ten inches
apart (eye up) good two year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In
about two or three weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate; work
same as other field crops, gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally
it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one-horse plow very
shallow, so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as the previous season; the
next season, your bed will be ready for cutting for market, simply plow off same
as season before, then turn in large double with a two-horse plowand rake off the
top and your bed is completed, and you can cut every day until July 4—a bed
made this way will last for twenty years. For a garden, follow the same plan;
But as the gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work
by hand, instead of with horse and plow.

LILIES
Do not plant Lilies in the open; a partial shade is essential for succesful cultibation in the hot climate of America
By ARTHUR HERRINGTON
Author of “The Chrysanthemum,” and a practical writer on Horticultural Subjects
The white Lily has ever been esteemed as ‘‘Flora’s’’ emblem of
purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that
popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly
deserves.
“Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’— American,
European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern
Hemisphere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast conti-
nent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and
the Philippines. Their geographical distribution is peculiar in that
they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance
still is the fact that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be be-
cause certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses in great
quantities every year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the
true possibilities of the family as a whole as garden flowers.
A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with
one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the
abundance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable
plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming
from June until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in
gorgeous beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding
years. The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best
garden Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their per-
manent character and their subsequent increase in numbers. With
a few exceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average
depth and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all,
only to be once planted and left alone for a number of years, when
they may have increased to such an extent as to need lifting and re-
planting in reduced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum
of the swamps, and Canadense of the fertile meadows; ‘“‘they toil
not, neither do they spin,’’ but in their season they are pictures of
Lilium Philippensis, the Philippine Lily
great beauty. These, although natives, are worthy of garden cult-
vation, and the response to garden culture is seen in greater stature
and more abundant blooming.
The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms
of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a
score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to
the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. bulbiferum, L.
croceum, L. umbellatum, and their allies, in many shades from yel-
low to dark crimson. As summer advances, new kinds vary the
garden scene; of special prominence being the old white ZL. can-
didum, L. longiflorum, L. Japonicum Brownit (in its several varie-
ties), L. Chalcedonicum, L. tenuifoliumand L. superbum excelsum
(festaceum). In August, we have ZL. Henryi, with its great-branched
beds of orange-yellow flowers, borne aloft from 6 to 10 feet high, a
noble Lily, that will grow anywhere and increase fast. With the
Tiger Lily, and varied forms of L. speciosum to carry on the flower-
ing till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we may have five months
of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all easily grown kinds.
These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the culture of some that
demand extra care or special treatment, like the pretty pink Krameri,
the golden Auratum, or the giant Z. giganteum.
Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by
planting in special associations; for example, among rhododendrons
or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved,
enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too make
an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming,
and both mutually helpful to each other. Make a great bed or bor-
der by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with
Lilies and peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into
a floral feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.
Lilium Philippensis
THE PHILIPPINE LILY
This beautiful Lily from the Philippine Islands is
quite hardy and is one of the most beautiful of all the
Lilies. The color is chaste white; trumpet long (see
illustration); agreeable fragrance and lasts to to 12
days.
The Merits of the Philippine Lily
It thrives under glass and in the garden.
It forces in 100 days from time of potting to bloom.
Can be repeatedly forced with increasing vitality.
Two crops of flowers in a year from the same bulb may be
obtained.
Bulbs planted in the open ground the first of May will bloom
the last of July; the same bulb dug the last of September
rested until December and potted up, will bloom in March
Every bulb sure to bloom.
Can be grown in the winter under ordinary house care.
20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., $2 per doz., $15 per 100
We are the largest importers of miscellaneous varieties of Lilies in the United States, and have supplied some of the largest parks and

HARDY JAPANESE LILIES
For Outdoor Planting, or Growing in Pots for Summer Flowering
Nearly all the Lilies which are cultivated
in pots for conservatory and greenhouse
decoration are also well adapted for growing
in the open ground, and in suitable soil they
make an imposing display. The following
varieties are generally recognized as border
flowers, and with good reason, for the most
inclement winter does not injure them. If
left undisturbed, they present an increased
number of flowers for several seasons. All
the varieties of Lilies on this page do grandly
in pots for conservatory decoration in the
summer months. For cultivation of Lilies
outdoors, see page 105 spring Catalogue.

Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies
Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies. A stubborn clay may be improved for them by
deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat, or rotted turf, or indeed
in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. They should be planted deep for their size, never less than
6 inches. When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally
manured before replanting.

RETARDED LILY and OTHER BULBS
FROM COLD STORAGE
We have been uniformly successful in the placing of Choice Lilies in cold storage, and, by special care and inspection during the
time they were being retarded and, by reinspection before shipment, the bulbs sent out by me have been solid and in as good condition as
when they originally arrived.
The forcing of cold-storage Lilies is not an experiment any more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the practicability of
this method of producing Lilies out of season. The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keep the bulbs, when first potted,
in a cool place or cellar, so as to produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light.
Lilium speciosum so treated will flower from four to six months from time of potting up. The later the season the quicker they come
into bloom.
As these Lilies are most useful during the early winter months, and for Christmas flowering, we suggest August and July delivery as
the best time for making shipments for Speciosums.

CALADIUMS "¥SkiiAy?
This plant, in the past few years, has been very much in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and
have such a variety of color in their foliage, making them very interesting as well as beautiful Among ornamental foliage plants there are
none more beautiful in design or gorgeous in coloring than the Fancy-leaved Caladiums. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in the
colorings and markings of the leaves, embracing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep green and intense crim-
son. As pot-plants they form specimens of great beauty and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants,
lending striking effect to any collection of foliage plants. They are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially
shaded locations. x
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees
Fahr., and a moist atmosphere. The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty
of sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass,
and shaded only during very bright sunshine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not
sink below 60 degrees Fahr.
We offer an English and Brazilian collection of 25 each, new and very rare fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest
transparent-leaved kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country
and were selected from over 100 varieties

BODDINGTON’'S
BODDINGTON’S QUALITY DAHLIAS
The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. The
very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of form,
continuous flowering qualities and general excellence.
_NoTEe.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain
varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good if not better results.
The Grand Decorative Dahlia
JACK ROSE
This unique variety was raised by Mr. Peacock, the dahlia hybridizer and ex-
pert. It is rightly named Jack Rose, as the color is identical—a beautiful dark
crimson—with the bloom of a rose; the flowers are not large, but borne in great
profusion upon stiff, erect stems. Blooms brought to our office, after being carried
around for three days, were exhibited at the Morris County Gardeners’ and
Florists’ Society’s Chrysanthemum Exhibition, and awarded a certificate of merit,
thus displaying its great keeping qualities as a cut-flower. See illustration. 35 cts.
each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS
Six Grand Giant Dahlias
The six sorts here offered are, without exception, the largest and most perfect
double-flowering Dahlias now grown, flowers of all of them attaining a size of be-
tween 6 and g inches across under ordinary cultivation.
; To our knowledge the largest Decorative Dahlia ever offered. It
Fireburst. is a seedling of Le Colosse; has broader and longer petals, is
more flatly built, but a far more intense scarlet, slightly shaded orange, and pro-
duces specimens which measure 8 inches and over. Flowers are borne apart from
foliage; agreat value. Height, 3% feet; plant spreading 3 feet. $1 each, $10 per doz.
= Its name suggests the size; truly gigantic and massive in form.
Gigantea. The individual petals are short and it requires many to form such
a monstrous flower. Color a soft sulphur-yellow; distinct and attractive. 50 cts.
each, $5 per doz.
The color is a delicate shade of soft pink; flowers are
Mrs. Roosevelt. perfectly double and very large, measuring 6 to 8 inches
in diameter. Strong roots, 35 cts. each. $3.50 per doz.
Mme Van den Dael A splendid decorative variety for cutting; color
soft rose with deeper markings, shading to
creamy white in the center. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
Souv de Gustave Doazon The most sensational Dahlia of the sea-
Se ,_SOMI|} (a decorative variety of mammoth
proportions, which under ordinary cultivation will produce flowers 6 inches across,
and can be grown to measure full g inches. It is of free growth, remarkably pro-
fuse-flowering and pure scarlet in color. 35 cts. each, $3 50 per doz.
The popularity which this novelty has acquired in this
W. W. Rawson. eRe time peaks in itself for the superior features of
this flower. This variety is a veritable king among Dahlias. The massive, perfect
but graceful flowers, which often measure 7 inches in diameter, are borne on stiff,
erect stems 15 inches and longer. The petals toward the center are quilled similar
to Grand Duke Alexis; toward the outer part they are more open and flat. The
entire flower is absolutely perfect in outline and formation. The color is pure white, overlaid with amethyst-blue ; this wonderful combina-
tion gives it the appearance of a delicate lavender. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Collection of one each of the above 7 varieties, including the Jack Rose, for $3

appearance. Deep crimson-red, with distinct pure white tips; most
effective and at once catches the eye; free-blooming and fairly large.

Catherine Duer. The Dahlia of Newport. For effect in artificial
light after being cut, there is hardly another variety which has more
brilliancy ; a giant flower borne on erect stems, with its deep, rich,
glowing red, is most effective. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz
Camellia. A dwarf, bushy plant, attaining a height of 2% feet
with small, but prolific foliage and myriads of small-sized perfect
flowers of a coppery orange. The shape of the flower is just like a

doz.
Firefly. A most striking variety on account of its color—fiery
orange-scarlet, with distinct white tips. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Flora. One of the most refined white flowers. The pure glisten-
ing white is not disturbed by the least suggestion of green ; the flow-
ers are always perfect on extremely long, erect stems, and literally
cover the 5-foot plant over its entire surface. 25c. ea., $2.50 per doz.
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. One of the most valuable Dahlias
we have. It is particularly valuable for several reasons. It grows
about 30 inches high and does not require support of any kind. The
immense, perfect pure white flowers are borne in great profusion on
most erect, stout stems, fully 18 inches long, all above foliage. No
matter how much you cut, it is hard to find the plant without flowers
For landscape work or general garden use this variety is especially
valuable. Planted into the shrub border or even into lawns by them-
selves, they succeed splendidly and make an effect which cannot be
duplicated with any other flower. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz

AMARYLLIS
Amaryllis, Grand Vittata Hybrids
50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100
The stock that we offer of this grand flowering bulb are grown

Our grower sends us a fine field report upon these bulbs—
stating the colors are exquisite, from purest white, all colors of
red and crimson, rose and pink striped and variegated.
The bulbs will be sent out in mixture, no two varieties exactly
alike—this will save confusion in endless names.
Amaryllis may be grown in a sunny window or greenhouse, by
following the cultural directions given below. See illustration.
In order to obtain finespecimens of Amaryllis the following method
should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs they should be placed
where they will be always slightly moist and warm—under the
benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs be-
fore the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little wa-
ter, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat, increase
the supply of water as the plants progress.

magnificent column of bloom during June and July. Give a sunny
position, sheltered from gales ; plant the tubers in the fall, while dor-
mant and set about 8 inchesdeep. Although
hardy, it will be safer in northern states to
protect with 4 or 6 inches of leaves, straw,

LYCORIS squamigera, (1 ane ae actly harly
Amaryllis producing beautiful pink flowers. Produces in early spring
attractive green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and
disappears, and any one not familiar with its habits would think the
bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower-stalks
spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel
of large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from
eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear
blue. As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be
planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best
time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before
flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the
hardy border or among shrubbery. Strong-flowering bulbs, 35 cts. each,
3 for $1, $3.50 ner doz., $25 per 100.
PANCRATIUM (Spider Lily). This grand Spider Lily
forms large imposing clumps, that are a
mass of clustered heads of pure white, fragrant flowers. The flowers
have a peculiar and striking beauty, which-must be seen to be appre-
ciated. The flowers are borne in large clusters, are of waxy whiteness
and unsurpassed fragrance. Fine flowering bulbs, 15c. ea., $1.50 per doz.
TIGRIDIAS, Giant California. We are introducing a
strain of California-
grown Tigridias, the bulbs of which are very large, solid and vigorous.
These fine bulbs keep perfectly well over winter under ordinary con-

compost in which Tropzolums thrive best is a light rich loam,
containing a large proportion of sand. The stems are usually trained on wires, but they may
be allowed to fall down from a pot or basket with excellent effect, to form a most attractive
tracery of leafage dotted with dazzling flowers. The sunniest part of the greenhouse should
be devoted to 7. /vicolorum, and in potting special care must be taken to secure ample

JAPANESE IRIS |
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate
and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

CULTURE OF IRISES.—The common varieties of Iris are well known favorites of
the border, and the whole family deserves attention for their excellent faculty of tak-
ing care of themselves if properly planted in the first instance. The tuberous or bulb-
ous-rooted kinds do not require a rich soil; a sandy loam suits them well and they
thrive in peat. Several of the most beautiful varieties should be grown in pots in
frame, or in a cool greenhouse. All the varieties can be planted out in clumps in
front of a shrubbery or herbaceous border, where they many be seen to advantage, or
in the pasture and woodlands. The crown of the bulb must not be more than 3 inches
below the surface.

either planted singly in the borderorin masses. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
Tricolor. A charming small-flowered sort, in which three distinct colors are com-
bined in the same spike of flowers, the buds first appearing cochineal-red, chang-
ing to canary-yellow as they develop, finally opening a sulphur-white; very free-
flowering. August to October. 2% feet. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

A Few Hints on Outdoor Rose Growing
BY AN EXPERT
ARRIVAL OF PACKAGE.— Immediately the package
containing the roses arrives, it should be taken to a cellar or
sheltered place, where the drying winds cannot penetrate, to be
carefully unpacked. The plants should be taken from the bundle
and the roots and tops thoroughly sprinkled with water, after
which they may be covered with a sack or mat until they are
planted. Should the weather be wet and the soil unfit to receive
them, it is best to open a trench, lay the plants in thickly, cover-
ing the roots well with soil until the weather be fine and soil
sufficiently dry to tread upon. If planting is being performed
during a dry wind or sunny day it will
benefit the plants, before taking them
from the shelter in which they were
unpacked, to dip the roots of each plant
in a thick puddle made of clay and
water ; this will cover the fibrous roots
with a coating sufficient to protect
them from the most severe winds.
FROSTS.—Should frost set in after
the receipt of plants so as to prevent
planting, the roses on arrival should
not be opened, but rolled up in a mat
or straw and put away in a dry house
where there is no heat. The plants,
which are always carefully packed be-
fore leaving will, when sotreated, keep
safely for one month.
DELAY OF PACKAGE.—It oc-
casionally happens through negligence
on the part of express companies that
packages containing plants are unduly
delayed, and instances may occur when
some of the plants may have become
shriveled. In such cases, lay the
shriveled plants quite flat inthe bottom
of a trench in the ground, similar to
that prepared for celery, cover them
entirely (both roots and tops) with
soil which has received a good soaking
with water, and allow them to remain there for three days. At
the expiration of that period uncover and take them out, when
it will be found that the wood and buds have regained their
normal condition.
Whit
SOIL.—That which is especially adapted to the rose is a
deep soil of a greasy nature. Where this is not to be had, and
the soil is light, add either clay or loam in addition to manure. If
heavy clay, some burnt earth, sand or leaf mold should be added.
SITUATION AND PREPARATION OF GROUND.—
A place sheltered from high winds (open, and not surrounded
by trees, as closeness is liable to cause mildew), and apart from
other flowers, should, if possible, be assigned to them ; a south,
southeastern or southwestern position is best, the beds being
situated so as to receive the morning sun. Oblong beds, not over
four feet, are preferable, as the flowers may be cut or examined
without going off the path or grass. The rose will not thrive in
a stagnant soil, so that if drainage does not naturally exist it
must be provided. If it is not convenient to use tiles, a layer
e Baby Rambler, Catharine Siemeth (page 132)
of broken stones six to nine inches deep or any other coarse
material will answer the purpose. This done, the soil should
be dug or trenched to a depth of at least eighteen inches, mix-
ing plenty of manure, made very much like a sandwich, with
alternate layers of manure and earth,
PLANTING may be safely continued until April. Great
care must be taken to avoid deep planting. In case of dwarf
roses, place the union of the stock with the bud two inches
| beneath the soil. Each root should be laid out carefully, taking
care that two roots do not cross each other or coil round ; this
is very important for the well-being of
plants. The roots of standard roses
require similar treatment, and must be
placed about five inches below the sur-
face. Do not put the manure on the
bare roots, but first place some fine soil
over them, after which manure may be
laidon. Tread firmly and spread some
coarse litter on the surface around the
plant as a protection from frost. Stand-
ards should be staked and any very long
shoots on the dwarf plants shortened,
MANURING.— Cow manure is ad-
mittedly the best. It is best to apply
surface dressing in the autumn for pro-
tection against frost, which should be
forked or hoed in during the early
spring. :
PRUNING. It is best to prune early
in March (unless the plants are late
planted, when it should be deferred
until April). In all cases it is neces-
sary to cut away all weak or unripe
wood, leaving only the strong and well
matured. This, in the case of strong-
growing kinds, should be cut back to
five or six eyes; the weaker and shorter
growing must be pruned closer, only
leaving two or three eyes on each
shoot. This refers to hybrid perpetual, hybrid tea, and tea rose ;
the climbing and pillar sorts should not be cut back ; the tips
of the shoots should be taken off and the shoots thinned.
WATERING.—Should the spring and summer prove dry,
watering is absolutely necessary, and, if liquid manure can be
had, so much the better. :
INSECTS.—Insects are very troublesome to the rose-
grower. In spring, almost as soon as the plants begin to grow,
the caterpillar or rose grub attacks them; these can only be
destroyed by hand-picking. After this the greenfly makes its
appearance, which should be kept in subjection by spraying
a“
the plants with the following mixture:—Take 4 ounces of
quassia chips, and boil them ten minutes in a gallon of soft

DORMANT, HARDY, HYBRID PERPETUAL and OTHER ROSES
Roses still hold popular sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have made special arrangements this year with regard to
the quality of the stock and list of varieties, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness.
We are handling this year only American-grown and English-grown Roses, as we find these are much better ripened, and, if planted in the
fall, winter over much more satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grown Roses usually sold at department stores. They are also budded
lower and are less liable to “‘sucker’’ from the briar upon which they are budded.

under ordinary conditions and give a wealth of
bloom during the season.

Hydrangea Arborescens Sterilis
AMERICAN EVERBLOOMING HYDRANGEA,
also called SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW,
GRANDIFLORA ALBA, ETC,
Believed to be the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced
during the last twenty years. It was found growing wild on the rocky
hills of Western Pennsylvania several years ago. The old well-known
Aydrangea paniculata grandifiora, which, up to the introduction of the
new form, has been one of the most popular flowering shrubs, blooms
in this latitude only during August, while the new sort blooms
continuously from early June until the end of the growing season. The
size of the flower is one of the striking features of this shrub. Blooms
12 inches across are frequent in young plants, while the average size
on mature plants is usually 6 inches or more. The color of the flower
isa pure, dazzling white, without the creamy and later pink tints of the
old H. paniculata grandiflora. The flowers, when cut, possess remark-
able keeping qualities, remaining in good form and color many days.
This Hydrangea gives every promise of becoming even more popular
than the well-known #7. paniculata grandiflora; as it lacks the coarse- ;
ness and stiffnessof that variety; it is refined in tone and effect, and
with its abundant and handsome foliage it lends itself readily to Jand-
scape effects. It is a comely, handsome shrub at all times. It is at
least as hardy as HZ. paniculala grandiflora.
Strong, 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100
paniculata grandiflora. One of the most popular
Hydrangea shrubs in cultivation, bearing immense panicles of
pure white flowers, which appear in August, turning to a delicate pink
and remaining till late in the Autumn. 3 to 4 feet, 25 cts. each, $2 for
10, $15 per ico. Standard, or Tree, 2 to 2% feet, 50 cts. each; 5 to

“QUALITY IS REMEMBERED LONG AFTER PRICE IS FORGOTTEN”
OUR TERMS
F ty RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent al-
2 lowed, to be deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved
credit, accounts are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special
prices and terms are arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Ferti-
lizers and Insecticides are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
ORDER _ EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as early
as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. We aim to ship all orders the same or next day
after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of
ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season
advances, however some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If,
however, you give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will
use our knowledge and ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made
subject to change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We,
however, carry very large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction
may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied
by a remittance in part payment to guarantee charges.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets,
will now be carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS” rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the
regular merchandise rates to all points where no ‘‘General Specials’? exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials”’
rate is in force, the companies make a special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit
of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum charge is 35 cts. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4
per Ioo pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing 100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cts. on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the
list, except that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at roo price and 250 at
1,000 price ; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage and save transportation charges.
NON-WARRANTY.—We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do
we guarantee the successful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or
that the same will be free from disease. If not accepted on these
terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any money that has
been paid for same will be refunded. Artuur T. BoppinctTon.

The Best New Idea in Gardening
By WILHELM MILLER, Ph.D., author of ‘‘What England Can Teach Us About Gardening,”
editor of The Garden Magazine, horticultural editor of Country Life in America
HE greatest gardening idea invented during the nineteenth century is wild gardening, and William Robinson
should have been knighted for that joyous book of his—‘‘The Wild Garden.’’ Never since the time of Adam
and Eve has any idea about flowers possessed greater possibilities for human happiness. For wild gardening.
is not the mere cultivation of wild flowers; it is a scheme for naturalizing the hardy flowers of every land in
great self-supporting colonies, so that they will really look and act like wild flowers, requiring no care after
planting and multiplying year after year until they create visions of unprecedented beauty. How the old world has progressed
since Wordsworth wrote his immortal poem about the daffodils! Possibly no one will ever write better lines than
‘Ten thousand saw J at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.’’
But the vision itself—the landscape picture—has been surpassed many times since then. At Gravetye, William Robinson planted
daffodil bulbs by the ton and poet’s narcissus by the carload. In England it is a common thing to hear of country gentlemen ~
planting a million daffodils at a time—scattering stones out of a bag and wherever they fall planting bulbs. In America, Mr. —
Samuel Untermyer has planted over a million narcissi at Greystone. New England hillsides, once bare in April, are now radiant
with myriads of yellow trumpets, while the meadows are starred in May with narcissi as numberless as the stars in the Milky
Way. And all this without watering, or staking, hoeing—or even harming the hay crop! For in June, when you gather hay
from meadow or orchard, the bulbs have ripened their leaves, which fall flat and escape the mower.
Consider the glorious floral pictures in
foreign lands which we can now make a

the flowers. The exquisite wood hya-
cinth (Sci/da campanulata) is equally
ravishing in beauty and practical for
planting. We can have lemon lilies by ©
the brook, and even the gorgeous red ~
Gesneriana tulip in the tall grass. ‘‘No ©
precedent for big red flowers in our —
spring landscape,’’ you say. What of it! _
The next generation will never know |
that they are not native, for they will
self-sow or otherwise multiply in wild
Planting Table for Bulbs places that are comfortable for them. —
There was a time when the Snowdrop
did not grow in Britain. Man planted it, and now you can see acres of run-wild snowdrops in Scotland. Nobody but a botanist
knows such things—or cares. We have an artistic right to naturalize anything that will require no care after planting.
So, too, our country gentlemen have a chance to restore the beauty that the land had in the days of the red man. John Muir
tells us how each kind of wild flower used to grow by the acre in the Sacramento valley, and even now there are square miles of
California poppies. Around every city in America are thousands of shabby, uninteresting woodlots where cows, fires and grass
have driven out the wild flowers. Why not restore enchantment to these woods by planting dozens of Trilliums, and thousands
of dog’s-tooth violets? Why not have great sheets of bloodroot in April, Canadian wood lilies in June, and Lilium superbum
in July? The wrong way is to dig these things in the spring, robbing nature and your neighbors. The right way is to buy all
these wild flowers from bulb dealers and nurserymen who propagate these plants in a legitimate way.
And the best part of the whole story is that any one can create these new pictures! You do not have to be wealthy. You
need not even own a bit of orchard, woodland or meadow. For every one may have a hardy border, and every one may adapt the
wild-gardening idea even to a city lot. In your shrubbery you can have clumps of daffodils or cottage tulips, and carpets of lily-
of-the-valley. Even if you have no long grass, you can have sweet blue flowers in March and April—scillas in the lawn and glory-
of-the-snow, which will not be harmed by the lawn-mower. And to the timidest and poorest Isay: Try afew Darwin tulips in
in the garden. Although, in my opinion, they are too gardenesque for woods and meadows, they will help you realize the spirit
of wild gardening, because they will bloom year after year without the bother of annual digging. The main thing is to get the
spirit of wild gardening into the heart. The rest is comparatively easy !

With the aims and principles expressed above I heartily agree, and it will give me peculiar pleasure to help any one realize
any wild-gardening scheme he has had in mind. I can save you much money and years of waiting. Take me into your confi-
dence, tell me what you would like to accomplish, and I will tell you whether it is practical and what it will cost. If you wish to
start wild gardening in a small way I recommend 1,000 bulbs of Narcissus poeticus, at a cost of $9—less than a cent a bulb! And
if you are planning to buy a million bulbs of any kind, the man to come to is—ARTHUR T. BODDINGTON.

BODDINGTON'’S Duiity BULBS 3
Boddington’s Extra-Selected Named Dutch Hyacinths
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS
HYACINTHS IN POTS.—It is important in the pot culture ot Hyacinths to have rich, light soil. If the bulbs are to be potted singly,
pots 5 inches in diameter are the proper size. Cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss,
which will keep the soil from clogging the drainage thus provided. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and, in
potting, place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil
should be of usual natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a coldframe where there is
protection from frost or in the coolest part of the cellar, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist sifted coal
ashes. covering the pots to a depth of 6 inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about ten weeks, the bulbs may
be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Suceess in
forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started
much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results. ;
Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October. When desired for late use, it is better to pot them in October and
keep them in a coldframe or cellar above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower-
spikes, Hyacinths, when being forced, should have plenty of manure-water and fresh air, and should have as much light as possible. The
blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun after they show color.
HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.—The single varieties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture. They produce finer
flower-spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of char-
coal in each glass to keep the water pure and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark place, and
kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. If the water in the glasses
becomes foul or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which the bulbs are growing;
otherwise it need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without drafts, in order that the best
development and brilliancy of color may be obtained. Intending purchasers can rely upon all bulbs of Hyacinths being thoroughly ripened,
fully up to specified size and ‘‘ quality,’’ ard true to name.
Boddington’s Extra-selected ‘* Top-root,”” or Exhibition Named Dutch Hyacinths
in a General Selection
“c
The term “‘top-root’’ is a Holland phrase, and is used to distinguish the size of the Hyacinth bulb from the first size; in fact, they are
the largest bulbs selected after harvesting the crop, and are the “pick of the market.’? These bulbs are excellent for exhibition purposes, to
grow singly in pots or Hyacinth glasses. Each ia ae

BODDINGTON’'S
Boddington’s “Quality” Bedding Hyacinths to Color
Bedding Hyacinths should be planted about 8 inches apart each way—or, say twenty to the square yard—and 4 or 5 inches deep,
reckoning from the top of the bulb. The actual number requisite for a given area, however, must be determined in every instance by the
local conditions and the object in view; a large bed in the distance need not be so closely planted as a small bed in the immediate fore-
ground, and of course a smaller number will be necessary in either case if a ground-work such as Myosotis, Silene or Arabis be provided.
Hyacinths planted alternately with Narcissi produce a very striking effect, and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is a suitable
distance.
The following Hyacinths, although offered at very low prices, have all been imported by us from Holland this year and can be strongly
recommended for their high quality. They are specially adapted for groups in borders and shrubberies, where they will give a brilliant
display of very handsome flowers; but for beds, where simultaneous flowering and uniformity of shade are of importance, we recommend
the Superlative Hyacinths offered below.

Boddington’s Dutch Romans, or Miniatures
These are small bulbs, or miniature Dutch Hyacinths (see illustration
above), and are now very largely used for growing in pans or pots. They are
also used extensively for bedding purposes, as they produce large spikes of
flowers. We can specially recommend our “ Quality’? Dutch Romans to those
who have never grown them, and therefore do not know their value.

BODDINGTON’S BRILLIANT TULIPS
FOR BEDDING OR FORCING (FIRST SIZE BULBS ONLY )
There is one important difference between Hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar treatment most Hyacinths flower about the same
time, while Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. The divergence has frequently been the source of much disappointment, for, in
a bed (or even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, one variety may be overblown before the others show their colors. For brilliant
bedding effects, solid masses of color are to be preferred, especially for design bedding.
For cultural directions under glass, see Hyacinths, page 3. The treatment to be followed is exactly the same. Tulips for bedding
should be planted about 6 inches apart and about 4 inches deep, reckoning from the tops of the bulbs.
The figures following the varieties indicate earliness in flowering: No. 1 being the earliest; No. 2 following; No. 3 being still a little
later, but coming into bloom before the No. 2’s are out. The height is indicated by ‘“‘b’’ for dwarf, ‘‘m’’ for medium, “‘T”’ for tall.

BODDINGTON’S “QUALITY”
SINGLE LATE OR MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS
For Planting among Herbaceous Plants and Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc.
It is surprising that these grand Tulips have not been more largely planted. As an early display, they are magnificent in their beauty
and coloring, coming into flower, as they do, from May 15 to the first week in June. according to the season, and are most useful from a
decorative point of view, after the early-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following varieties, and their
height, after being well established, reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years, and fill in
the space until spring plants can be set out in beds. There are many more beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few of the
most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surroundings, should
be without a selection of them, for they afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.

New Narcissus
Poetaz Hybrids
N. Poeticus Ornatus x N. Polyanthus Varieties
By crossing these two classes, Narcissus Poeticus Ornatus
being theseed parent, our growers have succeeded in obtain-
ing a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-flowered Narcissi.
The individual flowers have all more or less the Poeticus
shape and size. Besides being hardy, this class has the
merit that they have not inherited the strong, disagreeable
scent of the Tazetta Narcissus. They are equally valuable
for bedding and forcing. A bed of these Narcissi is simply
covered by a:dense mass of flowers. They force extremely
easy. This is an entirely new strain and has no similarity
with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore. The follow-
ing we consider the best of this lovely type.
Alsace Petals pure white, with yellow eye; when
sae. : bursting into flower the eye is slightly edged
reddish. Broad large flowers of true Poet form; one of the
earliest. Has three flowers on a stem. 5 cts. each, 50 cts.
per doz., $3.75 per roo, $35 per 1,000.
Elvira Pure white, with yellow eye; large flower of a
* remarkably good substance. Long-stemmed
and a good keeper; four flowers ona stem. Highly recom-
mended. 5 cts. each, gocts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25
per 1,000.
Id Perianth white, with dark orange eye; large truss

color. 5c. each, 50 cts. per doz., $3.75 per 100, $35 per 1,000.
Narcissus Poetaz (type)
Narcissus Jonquilla, or Jonquils
All of the Jonquils are prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant blossoms and the ease with which they may be grown,
Half a dozen bulbs may be put ina 5-inch pot, and with the same treatment as recommended for hyacinths (see page 3), a fine
display can be had from January to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal planting should be made outdoors. A clump of
fifty or more bulbs put here and there among shrubbery or interspersed in the hardy border or naturalized in the grass, gives an
indescribably rich effect in the early spring, while a vase of cut blooms will fill a room with the rich, spicy perfume.

Narcissi and Daffodils *bitbine sre.”
For producing brilliant masses of striking color in the mixed border, among shrubs, under trees, or for grouping in grass,
the following varieties of Narcissi are unequaled, while they specially claim the attention of amateurs for their hardiness and
accommodating qualities. Clumps should be grown in odd corners to furnish flowers for decorative purposes. When cut just as
they begin to expand, the flowers develop their full beauty in water as perfectly, and retain their brightness for as long a period
as when allowed to remain on their own plants. Pansies, myosotis, scillas, and other low-growing plants and bulbs make lovely
companions for these popular Narcissi. (For other bulbs for naturalizing, see page 1.)

Lilies for Growing and Forcing under Glass, in the
Greenhouse, Conservatory or Sunny Window
Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt, if intended for growing in pots or for forcing.
The soil should be rich, the pot well
drained. The bulb should be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting, give athorough
watering and set outside in a coldframe or shady situation; then cover with ashes or long straw.
After they have stood from three weeks
to a month, bring into the house, allow plant to grow above pot 4 to 6 inches, then fill pot with soil to within 1 inch of top of pot, and force
gently. After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used.
Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda Easter Lily
Mr. Boddington visited Bermuda at Easter, this spring, for the
express purpose of looking into the Lily situation, examining the
growing fields of Lilies and securing the finest and cleanest stock on
the island. He was successful in doing this, so that we can with
confidence offer the bulbs quoted below. The examination of grow-
ing crops is in keeping with our policy to secure only the best, even
at an advanced price, and successfully to uphold the quality which
we aim to sell. Each Doz. 100

JAPANESE EASTER LILIES
The Lilium longiflorum, or Japanese Easter Lily, is,*in reality,
the parent of the Lidiwm Harrisii, or Bermuda Easter Lily, and is
grown more extensively than this variety by the florists, owing to
the shortage of the larger sizes of L. Harristi this season. We
recommend and suggest to intending purchasers that, where the
large bulbs are desired, they buy the L. Jongiflorum, of which we

GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI AND
NANUS
Delivery in October and November
The “ Colvillei’’ section should not be confused with the Gandavensis,
or large-flowering Gladiolus. The ‘‘Colvillei’’ has much more slender
spikes and daintier flowers, which are very pretty for cutting and arrang-
ing in vases with ferns and other foliage. Florists often plant these in
their carnation beds.

BODDINGTON’S
AMARYLLIS
In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis the following method
should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs in autumn they should be
placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm—under the
benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs before
the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little water, and
promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat; increase the supply
of water as the plants progress. Amaryllis may be grown ina sunny
window or greenhouse, by following the cultural directions.

NERINES (Amaryllidae)
These popular South African bulbous plants are among
the most charming and most useful of all early winter-
flowering plants. Coming into bloom as they do at a time
when bulbous flowers of real choiceness are scarce (Oc-
tober and November), we find that Nerines amply repay
the little care and attention which they require; same
cultural directions as amaryllis.
Thereisan ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely
beautiful flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an
ordinary greenhouse with a temperature ranging from
35 to 60 degrees, they produce annually their handsome
umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24 inches
long. The best time for re-potting is during August,
using a good sandy loam witha little leaf-mold and well-
decayed cow manure; encouraging a free foliage growth
during winter, but care should be exercised to reduce the
watering as soon as foliage commences to turn yellow,
eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show
ee, signs of new growth.

Amateurs Aticntion! Something New—
Growing Bulbs in Fiber
SAIC
The Idea of Growing Bulbs in Fiber was a new one for this coun-
try, till we offered them two years ago, but it has been practised
successfully in England for many years.
A most interesting method of growing bulbs is to place them in bowls,
Hyacinth glasses and jardiniéres filled with prepared fiber; far better results
for home decoration may be obtained in this way than by using ordinary
potting soil.
For this system of culture no drainage is necessary, and the bowls which
are specially made for the purpose are not pierced with the usual holes for
drainage. They are non-porous, and may be placed on tables and columns,
or they can be used in halls and corridors without the slightest risk of
injury.
The fiber is perfectly clean to handle, odorless, and remains sweet for an
idefinite period.
Any receptacle may be used for the purpose provided it is non-porous,
but the bulbs to be planted in them should be suited to their size. Crocuses,
Scillas, Snowdrops and Grape Hyacinths are available, also Tulips, Hya-
cinths and Narcissi. It is better not to mix different varieties of bulbs in one
bowl unless simultaneous flowering can be assured.
This specially prepared fiber we offer requires moistening only before
use. Having selected suitable receptacles for the bulbs to be grown, place a
few pieces of charcoal (which we also supply with the fiber) at the bottom of
the bowl. Then cover the charcoal with moistened fiber according to the
depth of the bowl, placing the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to
within half inch of the rim. The spaces between and around the bulbs
should be filled with moistened fiber, carefully firmed in by hand. The bulbs
will require practically no attention for the first few weeks, and may be
stood in a warm, airy position, but on no account must they be shut up ina
close cupboard.
If the fiber has been properly moistened, there will be no need to give
water until
the shoots are
an inch or so
long, but
great care
must be taken
not to allow
the fiber to
dry, other-
wise the
4 flower pid:
Roman Hyacinths growing in fiber poemue Pine:
of the fiber
should always look moist, but, if too much water has been given, the bowl
may be held carefully on its side so that the surplus water may drain away.
As the growth increases, more water will be required, and as much light as
possible, to ensure sturdy foliage.
This fiber also answers admirably instead of water for Hyacinths grown
in glasses, but care should be taken to fill the glasses as lightly as possible
with the compost; if packed in tightly, root growth is liable to push bulbs
out of position.

and closely arranged on stately spikes 6 to 10 feet high, forming a magnificent
column of bloom during June and July. Give a sunny position, sheltered from gales;
plant the tubers in the fall, while dormant, and set about 8 inches deep. Although
hardy, it will be safer in northern states to protect with 4° to 6 inches of leaves,
straw, manure or similar covering, to prevent the young growth, which starts very
early, from being tipped from late freezes. Strong flowering roots, that is roots that
will flower the first season. Each Doz:

Winter-Blooming Crocuses (Colchicums)
Autumn- and Winter-Blooming Crocuses
Exceedingly beautiful Crocus-like flowers flowering from September to November. These are worthy of a place in every garden. Bulbs
are ready for delivery in August and must be planted immediately.
Are you not astonished to learn that there are hardy Crocuses which will bloom outdoors in the North between November and March
with no protection whatever? Most of them are from the Holy Land, and all should be planted as early as possible in the autumn. The
dates given below are the earliest they have been known to flower, but even if they do not bloom until March they are well worth while,
for they will usually be seen in bloom amid the snow, as accompanying illustration will show. The bulbs should be extensively planted
and the risk of losing them can be greatly lessened by planting them in the sunniest and most sheltered nooks.
We heartily recommend their use by the thousands on southern estates, especially winter homes in the Carolinas and Georgia, where they
will glorify the otherwise barren month of January. We believe also, that they will succeed even in Canada, though blooming at the end
of winter. The time of bloom depends chiefly upon the openness of the winter. Winter flowers are certainly exciting, because of the un-
certainty about the time of blooms, and what can be more interesting than to find flowers outdoors in bloom in your own home grounds
right in the middle of winter! Several of these varieties are offered here now for the first time.

HARDY JAPANESE LILIES
For Outdoor Planting, or Growing in Pots for Summer Flowering
Nearly all the Lilies which are cultivated
in pots for conservatory and greenhouse
decoration are also well adapted for growing
in the open ground, and in suitable soil they
make an imposing display. The following
varieties are generally recognized as border
flowers, and with good reason, for the most
inclement winter does not injure them. If
left undisturbed, they present an increased
number of flowers for several seasons. All
the varieties of Lilies on this page do grandly
in pots for conservatory decoration in the
summer months. For cultivation of Lilies
outdoors, see page 105 spring Catalogue.

JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate
and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

Old-fashioned Gardening
Hardy Perennial and Old-Fashioned Flowers
THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM SEED SOWN IN LATE SUMMER AND FALL
Cultural Directions.—Perennial seed sown in the late summer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall,
according to the variety. The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes
or pans. Soil should be light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil.
When the plants have become large enough to handle, ‘prick out”? about 2 inches apart, more if ycu have the room, in shallow boxes or
frames, and again when large enough; set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants
should be lightly covered with leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thrifti-
ness and next season’s growth.
Boddington’s Quality Perennial Seeds for Wild Gardens and Woodlands

BODDINGTON'’'S MATCHLESS
CINERARIAS
In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistake so often made is
that of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often
than not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable.
By sowing in May and June, plants large enough for all decorative
purposes can be had. Inafter-treatment the aim should be to secure
as hard a growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium
size are best.
Boddington’s Matchless Brilliant Scarlet. This variety intro-
duces a new color, surpassing all the brilliant shades hitherto known
among Cinerarias. %pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1-

‘Boddington’s Matchless Giant Primulas
PRIMULA SINENSIS
Our Primula Sinensis seed has been specially grown for us by
the most celebrated English Piimula specialist. The flowers are
remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the colors,
but for the great substance of the petals. Considerable care is neces-
sary in order to secure the successful germination of the seed of the
choice kinds of P. Simensis. ‘1he most suitable periods for sowing
are January to May for autumn, and June to August for spring
blooming. Shallow pans, well drained, are the best, the soil con-
sisting of sandy loam and leaf-mould, worked through a fine sieve ;
the pans, wnen thus prepared, should be well-watered before the
seed is sown. Only a slight covering of soil or sand is needed.
What has most to be guarded against is drought ; the soil should be
kept in as equable degree of moisture as possible, never being on
the dry side. We attribute more failures to this cause than to any
other. Just at the time when the seed commences to germinate the
least departure from this is fatal.

SCHIZANTHUS
GRANDIFLORUS BODDINGTONII. 20%¢inston’s Select Hy-
superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much
larger, better shaped, and the colors show wide range, including
shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and
purple, in various markings, and combinations. In habit the plants
are very dwarf and bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting.
Schizanthus plants have become indispensable for greenhouse and
conservatory decoration, and as a for decoration they are
unequaled. Pkt. 75 cts., 3 for $2.
W. H. WAITE IN *“ HORTICULTURE”
The Schizanthus grandiflorus Boddingtonii, when well grown, is one of the
most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. As a conservatory plant it is
unequalled, lasting in bloom tor months; as a cut-flower for dinner-table, or other
decoration, it is one of the daintiest things that can be used. The past season we
have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of
very easy culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young
plants should never be allowed to become stunted or pot-bound, but should always
be kept on the move, A cool treatment is what it delights in.
The finest variety that I have had the privilege of grcwing yet is the one
illustrated below. This shows merely a single spray and was taken to show the
individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid
variety, and the introducer, Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it.
The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is
all that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.
WISETONIENSIS. The colors are varied, ranging from white, with
yellow center, to pink, with brown center. Most useful as a winter
plant, and should be given a place in every greenhouse. Pkt. 50 cts.
STOCKS, WINTER-FLOWERING
ABUNDANCE. Excellent for a summer or winter-flowering variety.

GRASS MIXTURES FOR HAY AND
PERMANENT PASTURES
Our formulas contain the following varieties blended in propor-
tions which I have found to give the most satisfactory results on dif-
ferent soils and situations: Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s
Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Sweet-scented
Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian
Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy and Red Alsike Clover. On ordinary
fertile soil three bushels of this mixture are sufficient to seed an acre,
but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be necessary.

Pot-grown Strawberry Plants
READY FOR DELIVERY ABOUT AUCUST,
POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS PLANTED IN‘ THE FALL WILL GIVE A FULL CROP THE
FOLLOWING SEASON
CULTURE.—Strawberries require rich, well-tilled soil; the plants should be set 15 inches
apart, in rows 2 feet apart; 100 plants will plant 4 rows, 30 feet long. Firm the plants well in
the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. In the middle of December cover
the beds to a depth of 3 inches with salt-, meadow-hay, straw or leaves. In April, as soon as
the plants show an indication of growth, push the covering away from the plants to allow them
to come up through. This “‘mulching’’ protects the plants from the cold in winter and the heat
in summer, keeps the fruit clean, and prevents the growth of weeds.
PERFECT AND PISTILLATE STAWBERRIES. The blossoms of Strawberries are either staminate
(perfect-flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate (imperfect-flowering). Pistillate varieties
must have a row of some perfect-flowering sort, flowering at the same time, planted every 9 or 12 feet apart among them, or, better yct,
every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. When properly pollenized, the pistillate varieties are usually the most

prolific. Those marked with P are pistillate.

large, they are very rich in aromatic flavor, and of good color. If you desire strawberries out of season this is the variety to
grow. Price, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100.

OUR TERMS
»\ sy RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent al-
2 lowed, to be deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved

as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. We aim to ship all orders the same or next day
after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible, hence the importance of
ordering early.
WE _ NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season
advances, however some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If,
however, you give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will
use our knowledge and ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.

however, carry very large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction
may always be expected.

C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied
by a remittance in part payment to guarantee charges.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets,
ill now be carried at the ‘GENERAL SPECIALS” rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the
regular merchandise rates to all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials”
rate is in force, the companies make a special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit
of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum charge is 35 cts. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4
per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing too pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cts. on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the
list, except that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price and 250 at
1,000 price ; but it is suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage and save transportation charges.
’ NON-WARRANTY.—We give no warranty, express or implied, as to description,
quality, productiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do
we guarantee the successful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or
that the same will be free from disease. If not accepted on these

A Short Story About Quality Seeds
E ARE often asked, ‘‘Do you grow your seeds? Where do you grow your
seeds?” Our reply is that we do not grow all our seeds, neither does any seed-
house in the world. Boddington’s Quality seeds are produced in the localities
best suited to each species or variety.
One method we practice where Quality is required, is to supply reliable,
well-known growers with reselected stocks —that we know are true to type. Each grower
receives only such seeds as develop best in his locality. During their growth, every pre-
caution is taken to obtain results of the highest quality and type, all being frequently
inspected by experts. It is the business of these specialists to see that seeds come true, and
all ‘‘rogues”’ eliminated. By this method, pure stocks and true quality seeds can be secured.
All reliable seedsmen sell good seeds. Most of the complaints about seeds are really the
fault of the purchaser, or perhaps weather conditions, when the seed is sown, or is growing.
The weather of the past two or three years has been exceptionally bad for nearly all seeds.
There have either been exceeding droughts or continuous rains. We believe today that the
stock of seeds in the world is the shortest in the history of the business, therefore it is all
the more necessary to be careful where you buy your seeds. For ourselves, we have been
able to contract for what we eos to be sufficient for our needs, but, as the season advances,
' we would prefer to be ‘“‘sold out”’ rather than to buy seeds from UNKNOWN sources. .
A great many people have the impression that the seedsman’s profits are enormous. The
seed business is not more profitable than any other. It has its gains and losses. Then, as
is well known, seeds lose their germination in a very short time. No seeds are sent. out
by our house until thoroughly tested as to their germination, and unless they grow to a
certain standard, they are destroyed.
VEGETABLE SEEDS are grown in many parts of the world. The following we
consider the best sources: Peas come mostly from England, Canada, Michigan, New York
State and some parts of the Northwest; a few varieties are also grown in California. Lima
Beans are grown in California; Bush Beans in Michigan and New York State, and some are
imported from France. The best Beet, Carrot, Celery, Endive, Eggplant, Parsley and Radish
seeds are sent from France; Cabbage from Long Island and Denmark; Cauliflower and Spinach
from Holland and Denmark; Sweet Corn is grown in Nebraska, New England and various
parts of the United States; while Spine Cucumbers are also grown in Nebraska, etc., green-
house or frame Cucumbers come from England; Lettuce from California and France;
Muskmelon and Watermelon are grown in the West and South; Onions in California, Con-
necticut and France; Peppers in New Jersey and Europe; Tomato seed in various parts of
the States, the choicer and greenhouse varieties come from England; Turnip seed is also
grown in Europe and in the States. Various other vegetable seeds come from France,
Germany, Holland and England, etc. Various Grass Seeds come chiefly from Europe, with
the exception of a few which are grown in Kentucky and the Southwest.
FLOWER SEEDS.—A great many annuals, especially Sweet Peas, are now grown
in California; Great Britain, Germany, France, Holland, Denmark, Italy and Japan are also
reliable sources of supply, England and Scotland especially for Sweet Peas and fine florists’
flower seeds. The difficulty and detail in arranging for supplies of seeds from such widely
scattered sources involves great care, time, trouble and expense, and it is only by the greatest
precaution, constant and intelligent effort, that high Quality in our seeds is attained.

INTRODUCTIONS OF 1911 AND FOR 1912
While every year we look upon the flower-seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less scepticism, we must not
overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or perhaps
more, suspicion than the novelties of today.
There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor to select only those we know some-
thing about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator.
You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions.
the introducers.
Petunia, Erskine Park Belle. H4- This is a remark-
~— eo ocaably pretty Petunia,
raised by Mr. E. J. Norman, gardener to Mrs. George Westinghouse,
The color is deep rose-pink—tlowers as large again as our Bar Harbor
Beauty, and slightly frilled, an excellent variety for bedding or for
borders, and if seed-pods are removed will bloom the whole sum-
mer.’ Knowing this variety personally, we can highly recommend
Erskine Park Belle. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1, 1-16 oz. for $2.50.
A era arundinacea. HP. The Pheasant’s Tail or Silver
ees os OUNCE: Fountain Grass from New Zealand.
A very beautiful grass and a valuable border plant; hardy peren-
nial, height 2 feet. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 for $1.25.
Aquilegia coerulea candidissima.#?. 4 charming
new Columbine,
which differs from the existing whitish long-spurred kinds with
colored spurs, by the uniform pure snowy whiteness of the entire
bloom. The latter is just as large and as long-spurred as that of
the type-form Coerulea, and is further distinguished by beautiful
and characteristic light-green foliage. Being a smaller plant of more
graceful habit than the other Coerulea varieties, it presents an un-
commonly taking appearance and will assuredly give great pleasure
to all lovers of Aquilegias. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Aguile ia, Rose Shades. #H?:. Long-spurred exhibition
strain, very beautiful. Pkt.
75 cts., 3 for $2.
Antirrhinum Majus Grandiflorum Venus.
HHP. A delicate pink tint has hitherto been wanting among the
tall large-flowered Snapdragons, and this is just the color most in
demand at the present time for cutting and making up. Antirrhinum
The descriptions are those of
Venus is admirably adapted to supply this deficiency, presenting as
it does a lovely pink shade on white ground, set off by a pure white
throat, a coloring which calls to mind the beautiful Sweet Pea Para-
dise. The long stalks are thickly studded with large flowers of the
finest form, which are in every respect equal to those of Queen Vic-
toria. This splendid new Snapdragon will soon become one of the
most valued sorts. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Balsam Improved Camellia-flowered Primrose.
HA. Among our finest class of Balsams, the Improved Camellia-
flowered Primrose is especially prominent by reason of its large and
very double flowers. It forms strong plants about 2 feet in height,
thickly studded with large flowers of a clear yellow, a much superior
tint to that already offered as “ light yellow.”’ The individual flowers
are extra-double, compact, of a pleasing rosette-like shape, and
measure over two inches across. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Begonia gracilis Mignon. HHP. 4 charming bedding Be-
gonia, profusely covered with
brilliant blooms of fiery scarlet; height 7 to 8 in. Pkt. 25c., 5 for $1.
Cineraria grandiflora nana “‘Stella."’ HHA. Puts
all other va-
rieties with twisted and fluted petals far into the shade. The plant
is of fine compact habit of growth, and covered with splendid large
and substantial flowers, with ray-like, very large petals, beautifully
quilled and fluted in cactus-dahlia fashion. The coloring surpasses
anything ever seen in Cinerarias; thereare the lovely and rare corn-
flower blue tints in profusion, rich crimson and blood-red in dazzling
variety, deep rose and shell-pink, most delicate peach-blossom and
cream-colored shades quite new to Cinerarias. About 250 seeds in a
packet. Pkt. $1, %pkt. 60 cts.
BODDINGTON’S FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES HAVE HELPED TO MAKE THE GARDENS

:
BODDINGTON’S
Single Aster,
Southcote
Beauty. HA. 4¥ h i Ss
new race
much resembles the Ost-
rich Plume Aster, which
has become so exceeding-
ly popular during the last
few years. It has all the
beauty of habit and flower
which the latter possesses,
and is a distinct acquisi-
tion. The flowers have
long, perfectly formed
petals and very small
golden-yellow centers, as
is shown in the accom-
panying illustration. They
are carried on long, stiff
stems from 12 to 20 inches
in length. The colors in-
clude beautiful shades of
pink, as well as blue and
pure white. Southcote
Beauty is of great value as
a border plant, attaining a
height of 2 to 2% feet, and
is probably unrivaled by
any other Aster for cutting
and house decoration. In
future years, we hope to
save distinct colors, but at
present we can only offer
mixed seed containing the
shades mentidned above.

new type now first intro-
duced. This distinct nov-
elty originated from one
plant which attracted
marked attention from
the fact that the flowers,
while equally as large in
diameter, showed a zew departure in form, number and
shape of the petals. The petals were
narrow and
fluted, separated in star-like form and of the most bril-
liant crimson color overlaid with a velvet sheen. Of
this plant, one blossom bearing twenty-two petals was
marked for seed, and the selections from
the products of this single flower have
been continued each year since, until now
this many-petaled type has become
thoroughly fixed. The plants grow 4 to5
feet in height, are most profuse in bloom,
and the flowers are so striking and ele-
gant that it will be acknowledged “‘ one
of the most artistic plants”’ of re-
cent introduction. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 ys

The Great Cyclamen, * <<
Mrs. Buckston. &: It
SS is not
often that a Cyclamen is honored by
the Award of Merit from the Royal
Horticultural Society, but the exception
in this case well merits the award. Cy-
clamen Mrs. Buckston is of a real sal-
mon shade of color, a lovely tint some-
what more delicate than found in our
“Salmon King,’’? and similar to the
famous carnation, “ Enchantress.”
The type which has beautifully frilled
petals must not be mistaken for the
Butterfly Cyclamen, to which it is a
great improvement. The flowers are
immense, larger than anything we have

The New Ostrich
Plume Celosia Pride
of Castle Gould
Celosia Pyramidalis Plumosa Hybrida
Castle Gould (Pride of Castle Gould)
AWARDS: Large Silver Medal at
the National Flower Show, Chicago, Il.,
1908; First-Class Certificate, New York
Florists’ Club, 1907; Special Diploma of
Merit at the Mineola Fair, 1907, and
numerous first premiums.
The Ostrich Plume Celosia, ‘*The
Pride of Castle Gould,” is an entirely
distinct type of the Celosia pyramidalis
plumosa, and surpasses by far anything
thus far placed on the market. This strain
has, through constant culture and careful
selection and hybridization, proven its
superiority to anything similar ever
offered. The following strong points speak
for themselves:
HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal com-
pact growth of from two to three feet, with
immense extra-fine feathered heads, give
the plant a most striking and unique
appearance.
The flowers being of such bright and
intense color, and the plant of erect growth
and beautiful foliage, it creates the greatest
admiration, wherever shown, and estab-
lishes a demand for itself that every plant
lover must appreciate.
COLOR. The plumes are of many
beautiful self-shades, including Blood-
red, Real Carmine, Golden Yeliow,
Celosia, Pride of Castle Gould
Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark Orange, and Wine-red. When
fully developed, the tips of the plumes attain a lovely golden tint,

tained. As a bedding plant, it can-
not be equaled by any other annual

of striking colors. We offer seed raised
strictly from pot-grown plants. All

Dimorphotheca
aurantiaca hybrida.
H.A. These hybrids are similar
in habit and size of bloom to the
beautiful Dimorphotheca aus an-
tiaca, but range in color from
pure white to blush white with
salmon glow and orange-salmon
reverse, creamy white with lem-
on reverse, blush with chrome
and brown reverse, lemon with
deep brown reverse, canary-yel-
low, soft salmon and _ salmon-
orange. The flowers have mostly
a central zone of another color
and they mostly have a dark
center. In conclusion we may
state that in our opinion they
form the most striking and pret-
tiest novelty sent out for several
years. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Dimorphotheca au-
i (Orange Daisy.)
rantiaca. H.A. This was the
best annual novelty of 1909, and
gave great satisfaction wherever
grown. It is very easy of culture
and it must be considered an
amateur’s favorite. No one with
a garden, no matter how small,
should be without this lovely,
useful, rare and extremely
showy annual from Namaqua-
land, South Africa, which will
soon become a great favorite
in all countries on account of
its easy culture and beauti-
fully colored flowers. The
plants, of very branchy habit,
grow about 12 to 15 inches
high and are exceedingiy pro-
fuse in flowering. Its Mar-
guerite-like blossoms, 2% to
2% inches in diameter, show a
unique glossy, rich orange-
gold, which brilliant coloring
is rendered the more conspic-
uous by the dark-colored disc
surrounded by a black zone.
This splendid annual is well
adapted for groups or bor-
ders; it produces its pretty
flowers very early after being
planted out inthe open ground
in sunny situations and will
continue to flower during the
summer months. A bed in
full bloom is a magnificent
sight. Pkt. 10 cts.,3 for 25
cts., 1-16 oz. $1.
Pyrethrum, Comet-
Flowered. (Roseum
—_—__—____ hybridum
grandifiorum.) H.H.P. A se-
lection of the useful and ex-
tremely free-blooming peren-
nial Pyrethrums. The flow-
ers are large (2 to 3 inches
across), either single or semi-
double, and of the most bi-
zarre form, the petals being
rolled, twisted, or sometimes
tangled together. A similar
range of color will be found in
these fine Comet-flowered Py-
rethrums as among the ordi-
nary type, i-e., from pure
white through flesh-color and
rose to brilliant carmine and
blood-red. They will certainly
furnish excellent material for-
cutting. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

The Sowing of Flower Seeds
The raising of plants from seed is the most natural mode of reproduction; it is from the seed that the most healthy and vigorous
plants are produced.
To obtain good results, secure quality seeds; also a certain amount of care in the sowing and treatment must be taken; this may
be summed up in the following four points.
First.—That the seeds have been perfectly ripened.
Second.—That they have been properly kept until the
period of sowing.
Third.—That they be sown at the proper time.
Fourth.—That the sowing be performed in the proper
manner.
Many of the flower seeds used in the garden are started in
the greenhouse or sunny window during the winter and early
spring months.
Seed-pans or shallow flats should be used. These receptacles
should have plenty of drainage, consisting of potsherds or any
rough open material. The soil should be an even mixture of
sand, leaf soil and loam, finely sifted; before sowing this should
be firmly and evenly pressed. If the soil is dry, it should be
watered and rendered somewhat moist a few hours before sowing.
The main consideration which will enable any one to deter- ©
mine the depth at which the seeds should be sown must always
be this,—that the soil is the medium which, in the first place, is
to keep the seeds sufficiently moist for germination; secondly,
and only in those cases in which the seedlings will continue
their development on the spot where they have germinated, the
soil must be looked upon as essential for the fixing of the plant.
In practice, where the seedlings are transplanted when very
young, the covering of the seeds with soil is not essential if we
only keep the seed-pans covered with a piece of glass, or even
paper, in order to prevent a too rapid evaporation of the moisture.
In the sowing of very small seeds, e.g., calceolarias, gloxinias,
begonias, etc., no covering of soil should be put on the seeds at
all. Larger seeds, such as salvia, cyclamen, etc., may be covered
with fine soil to a depth of twice the diameter of the seeds.
After sowing, great care must be taken that the seed-beds should
never be allowed to become dry, and very great care must be
taken in the watering, especially of the finer seeds.
The best way to moisten the seed-pans containing the
fine seeds is by dipping the pans in a pail of water, and allow the
water to rise naturally.
> ut TaN! ree @ 5 \ The three main essentials which all plant life requires, and
A Bed of Boddington’s Auricula-eyed Sweet Williams this relates to seedlings as well as mature plants, are moisture,
heat and air.
The seed-beds should just be kept moist—they should never be allowed to become sodden. A safe guide for temperature is
that for proper germination the temperature should be a little higher than the mature plant requires for proper development.
The seeds of most Hardy Perennials may be sown at any time from January to October. Early sowing should be made indoors
in boxes in the same manner as described above, or they may be sown out-of-doors in spring after the frost has gone, and trans-
planted into their flowering position in early autumn or the following spring. There is not room in this short article for the treat-
ment of the young seedlings, but, as the seedlings appear, more air and light should be gradually given or the seedlings will be weak
and drawn. ’
There are many seeds of flowers which may be sown out in the open ground, such as alyssum, candytuft, calliopsis, nasturtium,
sweet peas, etc. These should be sown after all danger of frost is past, and care should be taken that the soil is in the right condition
as to moisture, etc. It is very poor practice to sow when the ground is too wet.
The soil should be finely prepared by forking over and raking the surface evenly. The seeds should be sown in drills, the depth
of the drills to be governed by the variety of seed to be sown. It is different in the case of sowing seeds in the open than in sowing
under glass, as outside, the dry winds or hot spring weather may easily cause a temporary or fatal stoppage of growth. These evils
must be overcome by covering the seeds with sufficient soil to prevent their drying out, yet they must not be sown so deep as to
cut off the supply of air. A good rule to follow as to the depth that seeds sown outdoors should be, is to cover with a layer equal to
four times their diameter. In the case of small seeds, a light shading should be given with branches or cheesecloth.

Boddington’s Quality Antirrhinums
H.H.P.
Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons, are among the most showy of
flowers for summer cutting, and for winter cutting, under glass, are
becoming very popular. If sown under glass during February or
March they will commence to bloom in July, and will so continue
till frost. The tall or giant varieties are extremely useful for cutting,
while the dwarf kinds are exceptionally adapted for borders and
edging of beds of annuals or other plants. Also now grown exten-
sively under glass for winter-flowering.
Liliastrum (St. Bruno’s Lily). 2 ft.
Boddington’s Giant Double White
Antirrhinum H4.4.P.
A new departure in the class of tall, large-flowering Snapdragons
is offered. Out of the mouth-like aperture in the flowers, between
the upper and lower lips, emerge abnormal fantastic petals, which
give a double and beard-like aspect to the very large bloom. In
sixty to seventy per cent of the seedlings this phenomenon is more
or less in evidence, the remainder producing perfect flowers of extra
size, such as are otherwise seen only in the Queen Victoria and
other Grandiflorum varieties. A striking effect is produced by the
long spikes covered with these beautiful white flowers when used
for bedding, and they will be of great value as cut-flowers for vases.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY ASTERS ua.
Plants from seed sown in the open ground in May bloom finely in September and October. For July and August flowers sow in March
or April in coldframe, spent hotbeds, pots or boxes in the house. If a succession of Asters is desired, Queen of the Markets for early,
Victoria, Comets and Truffaut’s for intermediate, and the Branching
for late, are recommended. For ‘‘A few pointers on the growing of

Snowdrift Certainly the earli-
————_ est Aster in culti-
vation. The leaves are narrow and
sparse, and the branches spring
from close to the ground, The en-
tire energy of the plant seems given
to the production of 12 to 20 long,
slender, upright stems, crowned
with immense feathery flowers.
The Jong, recurved petals give the
flowers an exceedingly graceful
effect, heightened in many cases
by the ragged, irregular character
of the petals in the center of the
flower. Pkt. 10 cts., %oz. 50 cts.

dlings of the well-
The following six beautiful varieties ar :
find favor with all
known Daybreak and Purity, and are bound to
lovers of this beautiful class of Asters.
Aster, America (Imp. Pink Daybreak).
H.A. Strong,
robust grower,
producing flowers of the largest size on very strong, stiff stems. In
color it is somewhat darker than Daybreak, quite resembling the
shade known as old rose. The flowers are of great substance and
very lasting after being cut, more so than most other varieties. A
valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being fully two weeks later
than Daybreak. Its flowers are in perfection with the late-branch-
ing varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., 4oz. $2.
H.A. In
Aster, Salmon King (Salmon Daybreak). (472 va.
riety we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak class. The color
is not only novel, but of a very pleasing shade, bright enough to
make it always conspicuous, although modest and unassuming in
appearance. The habit of growth, form of plant and flower are
identical with those of its parent, Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25
cts., %oz. $2
H.A. A
Aster, Lemon Drop (Yellow Daybreak). (23) ° ye.
low Aster at last. It is a decided yellow, and as good a grower as
any of the other varieties of the Daybreak class. The flowers are
not quite so large as those of Purity, its parent, but are more per-
fect and symmetrical in form; in fact the petals are laid so perfectly
that the flowers have a wax-like appearance. We consider ourselves
very fortunate to be able to introduce a good yellow Aster. Pkt.
15 cts., 2 for 25 cts., Yoz. $2. oa
-A. This isa
Aster, Rosy Morn (Rose Daybreak). Very beautiful
variety. The flowers are of a handsome shade of rose, large, well
formed, double to the center, and produced in the same profusion as
the other Asters of this class. We consider it one of the best of the
Daybreak type. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 oat see #2. - : -

from that grand old variety Semple’s Pink, which on account of its
earliness will certainly become equally, and we predict, more popu-
lar, than its parent. The color is of the same shade of bright pink,
and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are identical, being of
the same strong, robust growth and branching habit. Its greatest
value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days earlier than
Semple’s Pink. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., pI AON :

Branching class. The Early Branching come into bloom about two
weeks earlier than the Late Branching. The plants have but few
branches and are free from side buds, the whole strength of the
plant being given to the development of the very few large and per-
fect flowers which are borne on extra-long stems. We offer two col-
ors only.

salmon, besnowed with white. It is a surprisingly handsome and
pleasing shade and when viewed in bright sunshine the effect of the
hoary-tipped red blooms is quite indescribable. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts.

Aster, Early Wonder. cultivation, blooming several days
before Queen of the Market, with pure white flowers double the
size; nice shape and stands well. It is after the style of Giant

for Aster Lady Roosevelt, and the flowers are very large. Pkt.

The plant grows about 10 inches high, is of pyramidal and compact
habit, much branched, and bears a profusion of double flowers of
rather small size, measuring 1% to 1% inches in diameter; these
are quite unique in color, two or three outer rows of petals being
pure white, and forming a distinctly defined band or margin, in
charming contrast to the inner petals, which are bright rosy crim-

and bears very large white flowers in the greatest profusion. Pkt.

Aster, Cactus, Rosy Carmine. quite distinct Aster. Of
pyramidal habit, the plants branch a few inches over the ground
and throw out 15 to 20 strong side shoots. The petals, nearly two
inches long, are characterized by being slightly bent or twisted
near the tip, and thus lend to the flower a kind of Cactus-like as-
pect. The first color obtained up to date is a brilliant rosy carmine,
a most lovely and effective shade. The Cactus Aster blooms
remarkably early and will be of great value for cutting purposes.

BODDINGTON’S
Calceolaria Hybrida, Boddington’s Perfection
The herbaceous Calceolaria is an easily cultivated plant. So long
as frost is excluded from the plants in winter they are perfectly safe,
and to attempt to hasten growth at any time is a failure. July is the
best month for sowing the seed. The great advance made in the
habit of the strains offered is remarkable, whilst in the colors there
is a marked improvement. Saved by England’s most famous spe-
cialists. Monster flowers of rich and varied colors, including spotted,
laced, blotched and self-colored varieties. “pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1.

Glory. the herbaceous border, or bedding. As a greenhouse
plant this will be invaluable, but as a hardy herbaceous plant it will
take a high position for its glorious coloring, golden yellow, and for
the length of time it continues in
bloom. Not only has it stood out-
of-doors in Devonshire, England,

the Royal Horticultural Society’s

The earliest of all Carnations, blooming in July or August if sown
in spring, and continuing until frost. Being half-hardy perennials, a
slight protection of coarse straw or pine boughs will preserve them
during winter and they will flower profusely the next summer, or
they may be potted to bloom during winter in the house. The flowers |
are large, about 80 per cent usually coming double.
BODDINGTON’S IMPROVED MARGUERITE. From Pkt
the ease with which this fine Carnation can be flowered as an
annual it has attained a popular position, and will continue
to hold a foremost place in the garden. The beautiful double-

Boddington’s Matchless Cinerarias
In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistake so often made is that
of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sow-
ing in May and June, plants large enough for all decorative purposes
can be had. In after-treatment the aim should be to secure as hard a
growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are best.

The seed of Cyclamen is often sown too early in the year; from
the middle of August to the end of September is the best time. The
seedlings should be grown on to the flower-
ing stage without any check whatever. When
grown cool, the results are most satisfactory.
Boddington’s Gigantic Cyclamen are un-
equaled for size and quality of bloom. A
magnificent strain of Cyclamen with flowers
of extraordinary size and substance.

This strikingly beautiful decorative plant at-

ephemeral, but are borne in large numbers and
quick succession, and make a splendid display
for a long time. In habit the plant resembles the
ricinus, with deep green leaves, which render it
very ornamental even when not in flower. It is
very effective in pots for greenhouse decoration,
or makes splendid specimens in beds or borders.
Although a perennial, we advise the treatment
of a half-hardy annual. Pkt. 50 cts.

BODDINGTON'S POT MYOSOTIS
Forget-me-nots are delightful subjects for flowering indoors at
Christmas time, and as they are everywhere welcome the practice of
growing plants in pots is rapidly increasing. Sown in July and
potted on, the strain we offer produces fine free-growing specimen
plants for Christmas. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. for $1.25.
MYOSOTIS, RUTH FISCHER
This is indeed a grand novelty. Compact bushes, 12 inches in
diameter, and literally covered with sprays of beautiful, heavenly
blue Forget-me-not flowers. The individual spray is composed of
from six to ten blooms, which are giants compared to the well-
known flower. For edging in borders, or for a pot plant, no finer
blue flower has been in existence. This variety is absolutely hardy,
and, with little protection, will survive the most severe winters.

Matchless Giant Primulas
PRIMULA SINENSIS
Our Primala Sinensis seed has been specially grown for us
by the most celebrated English Primula sp t. The flowers
are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the
colors, but for the great substance of the pe s. Consid rable
care is necessary in order to secure the su rmination
of the seed of the choice kinds of P. Sze [The most suit-
able periods for sowing are January to Ma autumn, and
June to August for spring blooming. Shallow pans, well
drained, are the best, the soil consisting of sandy loam and
leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve ; the pans when thus pre-
pared, should be well watered before the seed is sown. Only a
slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be
guarded against is drought; the soil should be kept in as equa-
ble degree of moisture as possible, never
being on the dry side. We attribute more
failures to this cause than to any other.
Just at the time when the seed commences
to germinate the least departure from this
is fatal.

In habit and foliage it resembles P.
Japonica, but differs in having
larger and more richly colored flowers, and in having the flower
stems and calyces thickly coated with a white farina or meal. From

Schizanthus Grandiflorus
Boddingtonii
BODDINGTON'S SELECT HYBRIDS
This strain is superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much larger, better shaped, and the colors
show a wide range, including shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and purple, in various markings,
and combinations. In habit, the plants are very dwarf and bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. Schizanthus plants
have become indispensable for greenhouse and conservatory decoration, and as a pot-plant for decoration they are unequaled.
Pkt. 75 cts., 3 for $2.
W. H. WAITE IN “HORTICULTURE”
The Schizanthus grandifiorus Boddingtonii, when well grown, is one of the most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. As a con-
servatory plant it is unequaled, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest
things that can be used. The past season we have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of very easy
culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-bound,
but should always be kept on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in.
The finest variety that I have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single
spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and the introducer,
Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all
that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.

those of real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there are nearly six hundred named varieties, you will doubtless

The Spencer or orchid-flowering types are coming strongly to the fore, but many are not yet thoroughly “‘set.’? The ‘‘Unwin’s”’ are.

A Few Hints on the Successful Growing of Sweet Peas
BY AN EXPERT
Buy your seeds early and sow early. : : . :
Never sow seed of Sweet Peas on the same land in successive years. If your garden is small and you find this necessary, the soil should
be removed and filled in afresh following the instructions given below. ..
The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep and prepared early (preferably in the fall of the year) if this can be done; good
slaked lime and wood ashes should be thoroughly dug into the ground.
A good rich turfy loam is the ideal soil for crowing Sweet Peas, thoroughly enriched with good rotted one
manure or bone meal, and dug in as deeply as possible. :
If your soil is not of the above consistency, dig a trench two feet deep and two feet wide and fill with
ood rich turfy loam that has been thoroughly mixed with rotted manure or bone meal, in proportion of three-
arths soil to one-fourth fertilizer, according to the condition of the soil. a
Do not sow your Sweet Peas thickly or too thinly (one ounce of Sweet Peas to five feet is a fair
average). If the Peas should grow too thickly, thin out to about two inches apart, but not neces-
sarily in a single row, rather alternately, Viz. jo Outwell ome
Seed of the black-seeded varieties can be sown
as soon as the frost is out of the ground, provided
it is not too wet, the white-seeded varieties should
not be sown until the ground is warm and dry.
Before sowing, pulverize your soil in the trench
about three inches deep. Sow seeds, in a double
row about ten inches apart, about two inches below
the surface and tread down firmly.
For training the vines, use either ‘“‘brush”’
(that is branches of birch or other light material)
or large mesh wire netting held by posts, the brush
or the netting should run about five feet above the
ground.
It is as well to stake, brush or erect
your wire netting before the seedlings get
too tall, better perhaps when seed is
sown.
Dry and hot weather affect Sweet Peas
very quickly. They should be watered
very frequently and thoroughly, and the
application of liquid manure given once a
week. A good heavy mulch of long straw Xs
manure covering the ground around the
Sweet Peas should be applied as soon as
warm weather sets in. This prevents the ground
from drying out and keeps the soil cool.
The flowers should be cut as often as possible
and all seed pods removed as soon as they appear.
By attending to this properly, it greatly lengthens
the life of the vine and the flowering season.
A partial shade during the hottest parts of the
day is very essential to secure the
best color in the blooms, it also
protects the vines from the strong
rays of the sun. If possible to
protect the lower growth of the
Peas, this should be done also.
If Sweet Peas should be at-
tacked by the green, black or
white fly, they should be thor-
oughly sprayed with one of the
several Nicoteen preparations that
are offered on page 142.
The greatest enemy of young
Sweet Peas is the cut-worm, and they
are so destructive as to prevent some
people from having a good stand of
Sweet Peas at any time. They usually
take the young shoots as soon as they
appear, and while some plants will send out
new shoots and grow again after being cut off,
most of them are cut too far down and are ruined.
A sprinkling of slaked lime over the row or watering
with lime water helps to keep out the cut-worms.
A handful of grass dipped in a solution of Paris
green will sometimes attract the worms, the poison
killing them.
FARMOGERM, which we offer among the
fertilizers on page 142, is an excellent agent for the
successful growing of Sweet Peas, if the instruc-
tions for the use of this article are carefully fol
lowed. \
One of the most necessary things in the culti-
vation of Sweet Peas is the proper feeding of the
plants, when they are in fuil growth a change of
food” is particularly essential. When they start
into bloom a good application of Scotch soot, ap-
plied in liquid form, improves the color of flower
and foliage to a remarkable degree. Aurora Spencer. (For description see page 54)

Henry Eckford Spencer, and _ re-
ceived the highest award for a Nov-
elty Sweet Pea at the annual exhi-
bition of the National Sweet Pea
Society, of England, namely, the
silver medal. The color, as in the
variety Henry Eckford, is the near-
est approach to orange we have in
Sweet Peas, or might be termed a
salmon-orange. We have only been
able to secure a few packets of this
grand variety, and offer them as
follows: Pkt. 50 cts., 3 for $1.25.
Doris Burt. (Unwin, 1909.) The
color is a most brilliant

Sweet Pea Maud Holmes (Spencer)
Ethel Roosevelt claims the most exclusive Spencer perfection. The
ground color is a soft pleasing primrose, or straw color,
overlaid with dainty flakes and splashes of blush-crimson.
The crimson is not at all pronounced and simply gives some
warmth and golden tinting to the
yellowish ground work. It bunches
splendidly and will easily lead in
this type of coloring for a long time.
Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Florence Nightingale.
(Burpee, 1Igto.) The flowers are
truly magnificent and of immense
size. The standard is unusually
large and bold, pronouncedly
waved, yet standing erect and
broad, frequently measuring two
inches across. The color is most
charmingly soft and yet rich laven-
der, which is enlivened by a very
faint sheen of rose-pink. The large,
well-spread wings are of the same
coloring, frilled and well-waved. It
is practically a self color and
bunches beautifully. Pkt. 25 cts.,
3 for $1.
Rose du Barri. ‘Burpee,
- 1g10.) This
new grandiflora affords an entirely
new shade in Sweet Peas.
The name itself suggests the
color, which is a lovely com-
bination of deep, rich, car-
mine-rose and orange. While
the flower is not of Spencer
form or size, yet it is slightly
waved, and for boutonnieres
or table decoration it is
“really a gem.”’ Its brilliant
beauty must appeal to every
lover of esthetic shades.
Mr. A. Ireland, Marks,
Tey, Essex, who had a few
[AIB | seeds for advance trial this year, writes: “It is
—=SJunique and distinct, a charming flower of deep
rose-color, overlaid with a lovely sheen of terra-cotta.
Foliage and haulm very dark green. One of the best
decorative Peas ever introduced. For artificial light it
is unsurpassed. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.
Emily Eckford Spencer. (Burpee, r910.)
The flowers are
of good form, waved and of the true Spencer type.
They are a rosy purple self color at opening, but turn
bluish purple as they reach full expansion. It is simi-
lar to Tennant Spencer, but without any suggestion of
magenta,—what variation there is in the flowers is
toward blue. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts.,oz. 4o cts., 4 Ib.
$1.50, lb. $5.
Queen Victoria Spencer. (Burpee, 1909.)
The flowers are
extremely large, of the true waved Spencer type, and
have a most pleasing color effect. The background is
quite a deep primrose, flushed with rose. The flowers
are all of good substance, borne three and four to the
stem; there were proportionately more sprays of four
flowers than with any other “‘Spencer’’ grown by us,
The strong dark green stems carry well the gigantic
sults of hybridization and trials of Mr. Robert Holmes, the English , flowers. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., 4b. 75 cts., lb. $2.

Gigantic Orchid-Flowering Sweet Peas, Countess Spencer
Hybrids, 1911 and Recent Introductions
The Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas are fast superseding the Grandiflora types of the same variety and color, and are indispensable in a
collection whether for exhibition or decorative purposes. The following list is the cream of the beautiful creations of the hybridizer’s art,
and can be relied upon to come true to type and description. A few varieties are not yet quite fixed, but in the main, as stated before, dis-
appointments and complaints are few. We still catalogue a very fine list of the Grandiflora types which are highly recommended, also the
winter-flowering varieties, which, if sown outside, will flower about two weeks earlier than the Spencers or Grandifloras, thus prolonging
the season for show or cutting. If you should miss any old favorite from our list, let us know what it is and we will either procure it for
you or send a variety equally good, or that has superseded it.
ASTA OHN SPENCER. This variety is lavender, suffused or
tinted with mauve, and will undoubtedly take its place as the best
lavender in the Spencer selections. Large and wavy; large wavy
wings also. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4lb. $1, lb. $3.
APPLE BLOSSOM SPENCER. This is a reproduction of the
long-time popular Apple Blossom Sweet Pea. but of enlarged size
and the true Spencer type. The form is most beautiful ; the petals
are waved and crinkled to a remarkable degree with distinct ser-
rations on edges of standard. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35c.,
Yb. $1, lb. $3.
AURORA SPENCER. This is an exact counterpart, as to color,
of Aurora Sweet Pea, which has been so long considered the best
of all the striped and mottled varieties. The ground color of the
flower is cream-white, and this is exquisitely flaked and mottled
with rich orange-salmon. (See illustration page 52.) Pkt. 15 cts.,
oz. 40 cts. 4|b. $1.50, lb. $5.
AMERICA SPENCER. A grand variety like America, but of
the Countess Spencer type, and very large flowers, generally four
ona stem. Pkt. 15 cts.,2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 40 cts., 41b. $1.50, lb. $5.
BLACK KNIGHT SPENCER. Very dark bronze. Pkt. 15 cts.,

BEATRICE SPENCER. The ground is white, tinted with soft
pink and buff on the standard, while each wing has a blotch of
brighter pink near the base. One of the most delicate and dainty
varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., lb. $1, lb. $3.
CAPTAIN OF THE BLUES SPENCER. Standard purple,
wings bright blue. A bright, striking variety, and decidedly new
in the Spencers. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25c., oz. 35c., 4 lb. $1, lb. $3.
COUNTESS SPENCER. Bright, clear pink, showing a little
deeper at the edge. The form is open and the margins of the
petals are wavy. Pkt. io cts., oz. 15 cts., 4lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25.
DAINTY SPENCER. Has beautifully formed standard and
wings; in a bud state it looks like a pale primrose self, but when
opening first appears to be white, but quickly changes to white
with a pink edge, more defined at the back, making a most charm-
ing contrast and quite a new departure. Generally three but
often four flowers on a stem. A great acquisition and should be in
all best collections. Avoca was another name suggested for it.
This variety does best cut in a bud state and opened in water.

GEORGE STARK (SPENCER).' F. F.C. and Silver Medal, 1908,
England National Sweet Pea Society’s Trials, Reading; F. F. C.,
Wolverhampton; F. F. C., Norwich. This variety is the finest
scarlet pea yet in commerce. The flower is bold and has extraor-
dinary substance. The standard is nicely waved and upright, but
owing to the thickness of the petal is not so crinkled as some of the
Spencers. Both for exhibition and decorative purposes it is good,
also stands the sun perfectly. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1, oz. $2.
JUANITA SPENCER. White striped with lavender. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4% lb. $1, lb. $3.
Large bold
KING EDWARD SPENCER. The nearest approach in color
(crimson) to the popular King Edward VII in the waved or Spen-
cer type. The standard measures from 1% to 2 inches across by
1% inches deep; the wings are 1% inches wide by 1% inches long.
Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., % Ib. $1, Ib. $3.
LOVELY SPENCER. Like its predecessor, “Lovely.” Bright
pink at the throat, or rather the base of both standard and wings,
and shades to soft blush and almost white at the edges. Pkt. 15
cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4%1b. $1, lb. $3.
MRS. WALTER WRIGHT SPENCER. A magnificent rosy
mauve. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, lb. $3.
MRS. ROUTZAHN SPENCER. This variety can be described
as Florence Morse Spencer on primrose ground. The blending
shades are soft rose and buff and primrose, with a decided rose
edge. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 35 cts., 4 lb. $1, lb. $3.
MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old
favorite, Mrs. Sankey, will at once recognize this as a “ Black-
Seeded White” Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25
cts., oz. 35 cts., 4b. $1, lb. $3.
MARIE CORELLI (SPENCER). The large flowers are brilliant
rose-carmine or red, uniformly of true Spencer form. The wings
are a pure, rich rose-carmine, while the Standard shows a tint of
cherry-red. The whole effect is that of a brilliant crimson, clear,
distinct and most beautiful. The standard is large, round and
wavy; the wings are full and inclined to remain boldly outright
instead of drooping. Marie Corelli is a_ variety that belongs in all
first dozen sets, and will become one of the standard shades in
Spencers. (See illustration, page 58.) Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts.,
¥% lb. $1.50, lb. $5.
OTHELLO SPENCER. This beautiful new Sweet Pea of the true
Spencer type will appeal to those having a preference for the
darker colors. A rich, deep maroon. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts.,
oz. 40 cts., %lb. $1.25, Ib. $4.
PRINCE EDWARD OF YORK SPENCER. Bold, rosy sal-
mon, some say salmon-carmine standard, with rosy wings, a
charming combination of color; usually three, sometimes four,
flowers on a stem. Some growers say it loses color when cut, but
this is obviated by adding a little sulphur of iron to the water.
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., 4b. $1.50, lb. $5.
PRIMROSE SPENCER. The color is a pronounced primrose or
creamy yellow throughout both standard and wings. Pkt. 10 cts.,
oz. 20 cts., 4% 1b. 75 cts., lb. $2.
PICOTEE (SPENCER). A lovely new and distinct variety, Spen-
cer form. Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and
well waved. In most cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well
placed and of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing
often seen in certain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower
and should be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as
an exhibition and garden variety. Pkt. 20cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts., oz. $1.
QUEEN ALEXANDRA SPENCER. This is the Spencer type
of this admirable variety, and one of the best of the self-colored
crimson-scarlets, beautifully curved and fluted. Pkt. 15 cts., oz.
50 cts., %lb. $1.50, lb. $5.
RAMONA SPENCER. Like the well-known Ramona, this va-
riety is clear white, with soft delicate lines and flakes of blush-
pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Both stan-
dard and wings are wavy, fluffy, and it is very seldom one finds a
stem with less than four blossoms; delicate and beautiful. Pkt. 10
cts., oz. 20 cts., 4% lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.
RUBY SPENCER. This may be best described as an improved
Saint George, or more of a self, the wings being almost the same
color as the standard: will be the best of this class. Pkt. 10 cts.,
oz. 20 cts., W% 1b. 75 cts., lb. $2.
SATIN QUEEN SPENCER. Deep primrose with pink finish.
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 35 cts., %1b. $1, lb. $3.
GIGANTIC ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS,

deep claret and chocolate, striped and flaked on a ground of light
heliotrope. Senator Spencer is of the true Spencer form, wavy
edges on both standard and wings;
long, drooping wings.

W. T. Hutchins is a fine, bold,
true Spencer of most perfect form and coloring. The buds show a
decided buff color. The fully expanded color ‘has the appearance
of light apricot (distinctly lemon at the throat) overlaid with a
beautiful blush-pink. As the season advances, the blush-pink
shading becomes rather more pronounced. T he vigorous vines
flower most freely; the stems are long and carry well three or
four fine flowers. Both standard and wings s are wavy, ruffled and
crinkled of the most advanced Spencer type. The flowers are of
the largest size, the standard measures 2 inches across by 1%
inches deep. (See illustration, page 58.) Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts.,

companion to Christmas Pink. Just as free and profuse a
bloomer. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 4%lb. 50 cts., Ib. $2.
DOROTHY ECKFORD.
Our advice is to order early and sow early for best results.
So much has been said of this grand
new white that already it must be familiar to a great number of
lovers of this glorious flower. In addition to its pureness, it is a
giant flower, robust in growth and stems, with no tendency to
tinge or go pink. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 1o cts., 4b. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.

Gladys Unwin. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 4% lb. 35 cts., Ib. $r.
*WHITE SPENCER. Produces in the greatest profusion flowers
of enormous size that are absolutely pure white. The wings are
fully an inch wide and nearly as deep as the standard. The flow-
ers are borne three and four to the stem and are uniformly well
placed. Pkt. 10 cts., oz 20 cts., 4%lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.
WHITE WONDER. The flowers are double and pure white,
uniformly of the largest size, and are borne six to eight large
flowers on a long, stout stem. Pkt. 5 cents., oz. 10 cts., 4%1b. 25

*MRS. SANKEY SPENCER. Any one familiar with the old
favorite, Mrs. Sankey, will at once recognize this as a Black-
SEEDS Ay
SWEET PEAS, PALE YELLOW, OR PRIMROSE, continued
*ETHEL ROOSEVELT. (Burpee, gto.) Is a true waved variety
of the largest and most perfect Spencer type. There is naturally
some variation, even in Spencers, and Ethel Roosevelt claims the
most exclusive Spencer perfection. The ground color is a soft,
pleasing primrose, or straw color, overlaid with dainty flakes and
splashes of blush-crimson. The crimson is not at all pronounced,
and simply gives some warmth and golden tinting to the yellow-
ish ground work. It bunches splendidly and will easily lead in
this type of coloring for a long time. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $r.
HON. MRS. E. KENYON. A very fine yellow variety. Pkt. 5
cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.
MRS. COLLIER. A beautiful pale yellow, or ivory white,
A delightful flower. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 4%lb. 25 cts., Ib.

*PRIMROSE SPENCER. The color is a pronounced primrose
or creamy yellow throughout both standard and wings. Pkt. Io
cts., oz. 20 cts., W%lb. 75 cts., lb. $2.
QUEEN VICTORIA. (Black-seeded.) Light primrose, wings
tinted rose. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 4%1b. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.
*QUEEN VICTORIA SPENCER. (Burpee, 1909.) The flowers
are extremely large, of the true waved Spencer type, and have a
most pleasing color effect. The background is quite a deep prim-
rose, flushed with rose. The flowers are all of good substance
borne three and four to the stem; there were proportionately
more sprays of four flowers than with any other “Spencer” grown
by us. The strong dark-green stems carry well the gigantic flow-
ers. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., 4b. 75 cts., lb. $2.
For Novelty Sweet Peas, see pages 6 and 7
seeded White Spencer of perfect form. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 35 cts., |
Mlb. $1, lb. $3.
tSNOWBIRD. BODDINGTON’S EXTRA-EARLY
CHRISTMAS. An exceptionally early Sweet Pea for indoor
flowering—will bloom six weeks after sowing. Color clear
white, upon long stems; habit fairly dwarf, and of exceptionally
free-flowering qualities. Without doubt the finest early white for ¥
indoor or outdoor planting. Pkt. 10c_, oz. 25c., 4 lb. 75c., lb. $2 50.
TWATCHUNG. Pure white. Pkt. 1octs., oz. 30cts., 4Ib. $1.
Light Pink, Almost White
“DAINTY SPENCER. Has beautifully formed standard and
wings; in a bud state it looks like a pale primrose self, but when
opening, first appears to be white, but quickly changes to white
with a pink edge, more defined at the back, making a most charm-
ing contrast and quite a new departure. Generally three, but
often four flowers on a stem. A great acquisition and should be
in all best collections. Avoca was another name suggested for it.
This variety does best cut in a bud state and opened in water.
(See illustration.) Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts., 4 1b. $1.50.
*RAMONA SPENCER. Like the well-known Ramona, this va-
riety is clear white, with soft, delicate lines and flakes of blush-
pink. It is of the very finest form and immense size. Delicate
and beautiful. Pkt. ro cts., oz. 20cts., Wlb. 75 cts., Ib. $2.
*PICOTEE. A lovely new and distinct variety, Spencer form.
Flowers white, beautifully edged carmine, large and well waved.
In most cases flowers are borne four on a stem, well placed and
of grand substance, free from the coarseness in placing often seen
in certain varieties of the Spencer type. Strong grower, and
sheuld be a good addition. Will be in great demand, both as an
exhibition and garden variety. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 for 50 cts., oz. $1.
Pale Yellow, or Primrose
TCANARY. A very desirable variety for forcing or early outdoor
planting and flowering. Flowers of an exceptionally good yellow.
Pkt. to cts., oz. 20 cts., 4% lb. 75 cts., Ib. $2.
EARLIEST SUNBEAMS. Very desirable for early spring flow-
ering in the open ground, particularly in sections where the later
sorts are apt to be cut off by extreme summer heat. The flowers
are of a rich primrose color, and generally borne three on a strong
stem. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 4% 1b. 25 cts., lb. 75 cts.

this is obviated by adding a little sulphur of iron to the water.
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., 4 lb. $1.50, lb. $5.
“ROSE DU BARRI. (Burpee, 1910.) Mr. A. Ireland, Marks,
Tey, Essex, who had a few seeds for advance trial this year,
writes: “‘It is unique and distinct, a charming flower of deep
rose-color, overlaid with a lovely sheen of terra-cotta. Foliage
and haulm very dark green. One of the best decorative Peas
ever introduced. For artificial light it is unsurpassed.’’ Pkt. 25
cts., 5 for $1.
*STERLING STENT. (Agate, 1909.) This is a true Henry Eck-
ford Spencer, and received the highest award for a Novelty
Sweet Pea at the annual exhibition of the National Sweet Pea
Society, of England, namely, the silver medal. The color, as in
the variety Henry Eckford, is the nearest approach to orange we
have in Sweet Peas, or might be termed a salmon-orange. We
have only been able to secure a few packets of this grand variety,
and offer them as follows: Pkt. 50 cts., 3 for $1.25.
Orange- or salmon-pink, veined with rose;
10 cts., 4% lb. 25 cts.,

“DORIS BURT. (Unwin, 1909.) The color is a most brilliant
light scarlet, slightly shaded cerise. For exhibition or table
decoration it is excellent, and is quite the best of its class. Pkt.

*GEORGE STARK. F. F.C. and Silver ‘Medal, 1908, England
National Sweet Pea Society’s Trials, Reading; F. F.C., Wolver-
hampton; F. F. C., Norwick. This variety is the finest scarlet
pea yet in commerce. The flower is bold and has extraordinary
substance. The standard is nicely waved and upright, but ow-
ing to the thickness of the petal is not so crinkled as some of the
Spencers. Both for exhibition and decorative purposes it is good,
also stands the sun perfectly. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1, oz. $2.
*KING EDWARD, SPENCER. This is the nearest approach in
color to the popular King Edward VII in the waved or Spencer
type. The standard is a deep rich carmine-scarlet of glossy
effect. The wings are also carmine-scarlet and on the reverse
side are of deep rosy carmine. The stems are 12 to 15 inches

The Prize~- Winning Quartette of Sweet Peas
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING FOR A BUNCH OF SWEET PEAS
(From THE FLORISTS’ EXCHANGE)
The Sweet Pea show organized by the London Daily Mail was held at the Crystal Palace, London, today, July 28. The first prize of
41,000 ($4,866.66) was awarded to Mrs. J. H. Fraser, The Manse, Sprouston, Kelso, N. B.; the second prize of £100 ($486.66) to H. W.
Richards of Ryde, Isle of Wight; and the third prize of £50 ($243. 43) to Rev. J. H. Fraser, of the same address as (and presumably the
husband of) the fortunate w inner of the champion prize.
The varieties in Mrs. Fraser’s exhibit were: Paradise Carmine (Hemus), carmine waved; Constance Oliver (Lumley), delicate pink,
suffused with cream, waved; Arthur Unwin (Unwin), rose, shaded with cream, waved; Tom Bolton (Bolton), dark maroon, wav ed. They
won because they were the best grown, best in size, color and condition, and because they carried four flowers on each stem. The second
and third prize exhibits ran the winner a very close race.
The 38,000 bunches sent in, of which only about 10,000 appeared on the exhibition tables, came from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Guernsey and Jersey, but the southern section of the British Isles, sweltering in an unps iralleled drought “and heat wave, had pr actically,
no chance against Scotland, where cooler and moister conditions have prevailed.
- PARADISE CARMINE, ARTHUR UNWIN, TOM BOLTON, CONSTANCE OLIVER
We beg to state, we have secured some very exclusive stocks of these four varieties, described and illustrated above, and make the fol-
lowing special offer of The FPrize-Winning Quartette, Paradise Carmine, Constance Oliver, Arthur Unwin, Tom Bolton.

Euphorbia splendens. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
Sweet William, ‘Newport Pink’’ (H.P.)

beautiful; the habit of the plant is perfect, being well formed,
neat and compact, the flowers borne in massive heads on stems

Sweet Williams (Dianthus barbatus) (H.B.) 13 ft.

(Dianthus latifolius)

Viola (Scotch, or Tufted Pansies)
The Scotch Violas, or Tufted Pansies, have of late years been
greatly appreciated. There are a great number of varieties, varying
in color from pale lavender to deep rich purple, with many charming
intermediate shades. They are very free-flowering, and cannot be
surpassed for bedding purposes; in light, rich soil and a moist situa-
| tion they will continue to bloom from spring till late in the autumn.
They are also useful for ribbon borders, where they make a fine dis-
play. We have been repeatedly asked for seed of these most beauti-
ful Violas, so offer the following, which we consider the finest for
all purposes. Pkt. a,

Palm Seeds
We make it a point to deliver nothing but absolutely fresh seeds of
the different varieties of Palm Seeds, shipments of which we are
constantly receiving from various parts of the tropics. Asthe various
varieties ripen at different seasons of the year, we have indicated
below, as nearly as possible, when each sort will arrive, and as these
seeds loose their germination very quickly, we earnestly solicit orders
in advance.

foliage, are valuable for borders and clumps on lawns or among
shrubs. The annual sorts are chiefly grown for their elegant flower
panicles, which are useful in bouquet work and for dried flowers.

Cultural Directions for Perennial Seeds
Perennial seed sown in the late summer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall, according to the variety.
The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes or pans. Soil should be
light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil. When the plants have
become large enough to handle,*¢ prick out’’ about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes or frames, and again’
when large enough; set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants should be lightly cov-
ered ch leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thriftiness and next season’s
growth.
A FEW POINTERS ON THE GROWING OF ANNUAL ASTERS
It is best to never plant in the same location the second season. Give plenty of room, rows 2% or 3 feet apart, and from 12 to 15 inches
apart in the rows; the distance to be regulated by the growth of the variety planted.
Pulverized sheep manure, wood-ashes and phosphate are the best fertilizers. If stable manure is used, let it be well decomposed.
In order to secure plants of good size for April and May, the seed should be sown in early March. For the grower’s own use as a cut-
flower, the seed may be sown from the first week in March until the end of April, beginning with the Early Queen of the Market, following
with the mid-season varieties and ending with the late branching varieties. There is nothing to be. gained by sowing aster seed too
early, as seed sown in January will not bloom a day earlier than seed sown in March or April, nor will the plants be as tall, healthy or flori-
ferous. Early sowings of seed are best made in flats in the greenhouse; later sowings may be made in hotbeds or coldframes or sunny win-
dows. Do not cover the seed too deep. Seed may be sown broadcast or in drills, and covered with a little less than ¥% of an inch of soil.
Root-lice or root-aphis, cutworms, the aster bug or fly and rust or yellows are the worst pests and disease that we have to contend with
in growing asters.
For the root-lice and cutworm, kerosene emulsion, tobacco water, wood-ashes mixed with water, are all good and effective if applied
around the roots.
For the aster bug or fly, sprinkle the plants with air-slaked lime and Paris green, which holds them in check. The proportion should
be 1 pound of Paris green to 100 pounds of air-slaked lime.
The yellows or rust is a fungus which appears on the under side of the leaf, and is one of the worst diseases that the grower of asters has
to contend with. But this fungus can easily be held in check by spraying the under side of the plants with a solution composed of carbonate
of copper, ammonia and water in the proportion of one pound of carbonate of copper, one pint of ammonia and one barrel of water. Use this
preparation at once, if the fungus appear, and use every alternate day until the plants have had several applications; this will kill the
fungus.
“The aster blight is generally caused by the work of some of the above insects, and if at any time the plants get too badly diseased, the
best thing to do is to pull them up and burn them.
The Hollyhock Disease
For the past years the Hollyhock has been the victim of a virulent form of disease (Puccinea malvacearum) which has wrought great
havoc amongst them by destroying all their foliage and rendering them very unsightly just when coming into flower; this has baffled many
in their attempts to grow them. In order to check the spread of this fungus we recommend the following remedy, which is being used with
satisfactory results:
To 1 Ib. of tobacco powder add % oz. of finely powdered sulphate of copper, well mixed; dust the under surface of the foliage (or wher-
ever attacked) with the powder every two or three weeks during the growing season, choosing a dull, still day for the operation; this
will be found effectual.
Should there be any difficulty in procuring the mixture, we can supply it direct in 1 lb. packets at 25 cts. per lb., 10 lbs. for $2.

men,’ England. We will send their catalogue and amateur

Calendar of Operations for Growing Vegetables for
Home Use or Exhibition
By EDWIN JENKINS, Bellefontaine Gardens, Lenox, Mass.
[For the purpose of reckoning dates, New York is generally taken as a standard. Allow six days’ difference for every hundred miles of latitude.]
JANUARY. Those who wish to have exhibition stock of
Ailsea Craig onion, and leeks, should sow these in flats or pans
this month. Sow for general use Globe artichokes, White Plume
celery and tomatoes, the latter for greenhouse use only.
FEBRUARY. Put the leeks and onions into small pots as
soon as they are large enough to handle, giving them a rather
rich soil. Sow eggplants, peppers, cauliflower and early cabbage,
and toward the end of the month make another sowing of celery.
MARCH. The preceding notes are useless except to those
having a greenhouse. Those who are without these facilities
should make up hotbeds as early as possible this month and
sow the beforementioned seeds; with care they will not be far
behind when planting-out time arrives. Sow now, Brussels
sprouts, lettuce, parsley, and the main crop of tomatoes. By
the middle of this month the onions, leeks and artichokes should
be nice thrifty plants in 4-inch pots, and should be kept in a
night temperature of 55°; syringe regularly to keep down red
spider, but be careful not to break the leaves. Eggplants, pep-
pers, cauliflower and cabbage should be potted or pricked out in
flats, giving liberal room for growth; all these are subject to
attacks of green fly and the best way to deal with this pest is
to dip all the plants in a one to forty mixture of X. L. All insecti-
cide A:\other sowing of all the kinds sown in February should
be riade now and as soon as the heat has partially subsided in
the hotbeds, sow forcing carrots, beets, early Barletta onion,
radish and spinach. For those who can afford the room it is a
good plan to start’some peas in boxes with removable bottoms,
and when outside weather conditions permit, plant them out;
they will be ready generally a week or more in advance of those
sown outside. As soon as the frost is out and the ground has
dried enough to walk on without sticking, sow carrots, beets,
spinach, parsley and several rows of different varieties of peas.
APRIL. Dress the asparagus bed with nitrate of soda at the
rate of five hundred pounds to the acre. If the strawberries
have lifted with the frost roll with a heavy iron roller and
give them a sprinkling between the rows with some complete
fertilizer. All the various herbs should be sown now, as well
as more peas, beets, carrots, etc. Sow some rhubarb and as-
paragus, so as to have good young plants coming along to take
the place of those dug up for forcing, chicory, witloof and
sea kale are valuable additions to the winter vegetables, which
may be had if sown now. Toward the end of this month the
cauliflower, cabbage and celery sown in the greenhouse may be
planted outside, and another sowing should be made. April is a
month of treacherous weather, and great care should be taken
with the ventilating of frames, not to check any of the plants
with cold draughts and still admit all the air possible; cover the
frames and hotbeds every night with litter or mats. Remember
the old adage ‘‘safe bind, safe find.’’ Those who have the room
should start one planting of sweet corn in pots; with reasonable
care it will be a week or more in advance of the crop sown out-
side. (For preparation of ground for the exhibition roots, etc.,
see October notes.)
MAY. Sow main crop of onions as early as local weather con-
ditions will permit; sow all the tender vegetables, as lima and
string beans, corn, squash, melon, cucumbers, okra, etc. While
there is always a chance of losing a sowing of these, yet it is
worth while running the risk for the chance of getting a week
to ten days longer season. The artichokes, onions and leeks
should be planted out during the first or second week and great
care should be taken to prevent wilting from hot, drying winds;
an occasional spraying on hot days will be found very beneficial.
On ground specially prepared, and during the first week in the
month, sow the roots for exhibition (carrots, parsnips, long
beets and salsify); when large enough to handle thin them to
about 10 or 12 inches apart. Sow succession crops of beets,
carrots, peas, lettuce, radish, spinach, cauliflower and cabbage;
the winter crop of celery should be sown now.
JUNE. The main planting season is now over, but do not
forget to keep up the succession sowings of lettuce, beans, peas,
beets, radish, cauliflower, etc.; it should be the gardener’s
pride to keep up a steady supply of fresh young vegetables of
all kinds. Give the onions, leeks, carrots, etc., growing for
exhibition, an occasional light dressing with bone meal, guano,
soot, lime, or any good complete fertilizer. Dust the melons,
squash and pumpkins with Slug-shot to keep down the squash
bug. Spray the potatoes with Bordeaux and arsenate of lead.
JULY. Make another sowing of corn and spray the potatoes
at least twice this month with the same mixture as above.
Plant out winter celery on well-enriched land, either in trenches
or on the level. There is usually some difficulty in getting good
head lettuce from the middle of this month until the end of
August. Our experience has been that with good rich soil in
open frames, and with water at hand, there is no difficulty. We
have found the variety Big Boston the most satisfactory. Weak
doses of liquid manure will be of great assistance to all the
exhibition stock. Plant out liberal quantities of cauliflower
now for fall use. Sow tomatoes and cucumbers for winter use
in the greenhouse.
AUGUST. Run the cultivator between all crops where it is
possible, as this will conserve moisture and keep the weeds down.
Sow in frames dwarf peas, beans, radish, spinach, and lettuce.
Make and spawn mushroom beds. If you have no regular mush-
room house, under the greenhouse bench or a shed or barn cellar
will do. The exhibition onions will have finished growing by
the end of this month and should be carefully lifted and put on
excelsior to dry in a sunny, airy place. Handle with care as they
are easily bruised.
SEPTEMBER. In many parts of the country frost may be
expected this month and tender things should be protected with
mats, boxes, pine branches, or anything that is handy; usually,
if we can get through the early fall frost without injury, there
is a few weeks of good weather afterward.
OCTOBER. This is a month of strenuous work for the man
who wishes to have good exhibition vegetables next year, and
right now the ground should be selected for growing peas, lima
beans, artichokes, onions, leeks, Brussels sprouts, parsnips,
carrots and other root-crops. First try to select a place where
water is near-by; next where the soil is naturally deepest, then,
after determining how much space the several kinds will take,
proceed to open trenches at least 3 feet deep and from 4 to 6 feet
apart (the reason for making the trenches so far apart is to use
the top soil from between for filling, disposing of the bottom 2
feet from the trench in this space). This may seem rather a
wasteful method, and of course can hardly be practiced where
land is very scarce; still with a liberal amount of manure in this
sub-soil lots of crops may be grown in it. Do not mix anything
but well-rotted manure and about a pailfui of bone meal to
each 20 feet of trench, unless it is a sprinkling of lime. If the
land is level a good plan is to leave the trenches open all the
winter so as to let the frost exert its pulverizing influence on the
soil, but if the ground slopes much it is better to refill at once
to avoid washing in the spring thaws. Land prepared this
way is better for all crops and will not suffer when the dry, scorch-
ing summer weather wilts and shrivels crops on shallow soils.
Forcing asparagus and chicory may be commenced this month
and these will be much appreciated as other fresh vegetables be-
come scarce. Tie up Endive and cover with straw to blanch.
NOVEMBER. The work of the foregoing month should be
continued as long as the weather will permit. Dig up roots of
rhubarb and asparagus for winter forcing. Store winter celery
and all root crops not already in.
DECEMBER. Profit by the past season’s experience with
the several varieties of all the different crops and make up
your seed order with the idea of getting the best.

Dear Sir: I think it only fair to let you know of my success with
your vegetable seeds. In the last ten years, I have exhibited collec-
tions in Boston, Morristown, N. J., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Tarrytown,
N. Y., besides regularly at our Lenox show, where, as you know, the
vegetable exhibit is second to none in the country. In this time I
have been placed second only three times, getting the premier award in
every other instance. Some share of this success has been due to the
"QUALITY" seeds from your house.
Very truly yours,

Since receiving the above, Mr. Jenkins writes us that he won the $100 prize at the exhibition of the Vegetable
Growers’ Association of America, Horticultural Hall, Boston, Mass., September 19 and 22, 1911, for the collection
of twenty kinds of vegetables. Also several firsts for single dishes of vegetables.

NOTICE
To introduce our
Quality Vege-
table Seed Noy-
elties offered on
Seymour’s Sweet-Orange. Sweet-
SO “Orange
is a most desirable second-early or mid-sea-
son variety, growing vigorously from six to
seven feet in height, and producing an aver-
age of two good earstoastalk. Theears are
ready for use five days to a week later than
those of Golden Bantam, and are from six to
to seven inches in length, with twelve to four-
teen rows of deep, rather slender grains of
a light canary-yellow. Itis fully equal in sur-
passingly delicious flavor to our famous :
Golden Bantam! Some planters pronounce Wek
it even ahead of Golden Bantam on account
of its larger ears and the greater length of
time that they remain in fine condition for The Duchess Pea
the table.
Sweet-Orange is all that can be desired as a companion variety to Golden Bantam. Of strong
growth, the larger ears are well filled and the grains are exceptionally sweet, tender and full of
milk. A great point of merit with the Seymour Sweet-Orange is that when the grains develop they
remain soft and tender and retain their sweetness for a longer period than those of any other
second-early Sweet Corn. All reports from cool northern localities praise the hardiness of growth
and early season of maturity. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35 cts., 2 qts. 60 cts., 4 qts. $1.10, pk. $2.

ears to a stalk, according to whether it is grown in hills or in rows. When ready for the table the grains are white, though sometimes suf-
_ fused with rose-pink, but the dry seed is a dark purple, shaded rose; very much like the color of the catawba grape. Pkt. ro cts., 4pt.

Preparation of Udo
Seed is sown in early spring in flats or in
a seed bed, in good, well-prepared garden
soil, with protection from late frosts. After
danger from this source is past, the young
plants, which by this time have from four to
six or more leaves and are in thrifty growth,
should be divided and set 24 inches apart in
rows separated 4 feet. A good soil suitable
for growing asparagus may be selected. Give
thorough cultivation and keep free from weeds
during the growing season.
The stems are killed to the ground by the
first severe frosts, after which they are cleared
away, and by means of a plow, celery or
asparagus ridger, if in field culture, or by hand
if in limited garden culture, the earth is

CULINARY DIRECTIONS
Salad. Peel thestems with a sharp
knife. Cut into two-inch lengths and
split into shavings one-sixteenth of an
inch or so in thickness. Drop into
the water and leave for half an hour
or an hour, during which time the
shavings will curl attractively. Drain
and shake the water from the shavings
and serve with a regular French
dressing of salt, pepper, olive oil and
vinegar, using one part of vinegar to
four parts of oil, adding salt and
pepper to taste. The salad must be
dressed immediately before using, for,
if allowed to stand, the shavings be-
come stringy.

Boddington’s English-Grown Peas
One quart will plant about 100 feet of drill. Sow in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the rows 2 to 4 feet apart, the tall ones requiring
brush. Commence sowing the extra-early varieties as early as the ground can be worked in February or March; and continue, for a suc-
cession, every two weeks until June. Those marked with a (*) are wrinkled marrows, and, unless otherwise stated, should be sown
thicker than the round Peas, and not till the ground has become warm, as they are more liable to rot.
For the past years we have handled, almost exclusively, English-grown Peas. The reports from our customers during the past season
have been so encouraging that this year we have decided to increase the number of varieties of stock so grown. English-grown Peas can
always be relied upon as absolutely true, free from “ rogues,’’ hand-picked, all imperfect seeds being rejected, thus ensuring greater
strength and vigor of the vines, and a clean, handsome and more profitable crop.
The following are the
best Peas for all purposes
A concensus of opinion obtained from
the leading private gardeners of the
United States by personal letters and
conversation.

Extra-Early Gradus Pea.”
The stock of our improved Gradus Pea
has been selected for us by one of the
leading Pea specialists in England. The
merits of this Pea over the existing va-
riety are its extreme earliness, produc-
tiveness and continued bearing. Height
about 3 feet, and of robust growth. Pods
are large and well filled, containing at
times as high as ten peas, which are
sweet and tender, and remain so for
several days after being gathered. Pt.

Boddington’s Early Bird.
A round-seeded Pea of the Gradus type,
embodying the hardiness of a round va-
riety, with the flavor and size of pod of
Gradus. A grand Pea, the greatest ad-
vance in round varieties since the advent
of Telegraph. Growers cannot fail to
quickly see the advantages of this Pea for
their early work. This variety is a first-
early cropper, producing deep green pods
of the well-known Gradus type, but, on
account of its hardy constitution, may be
sown early to great advantage in order
to obtain very early results in the spring.
It is a vigorous, branching plant, growing
3feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a
large proportion of pods in pairs, which contain fine, deep green
peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes:
‘I want to saya word in favor of your Early Bird. I saw it at a
neighbor’s and it is a grand, early pea.”’ Pt. 4o cts., qt. 75 cts., %pk.

Best described as a hardy type of Daisy. A very
Buttercup. fine and robust main-crop Pea, with long, hand-
some, well-filled pods. Height about 2 feet. Pods rich green, pro-
duced in pairs, averaging ten peas in each. We have counted as
many as twenty-two pods on a single plant ready to gather at one
time. The large, deep green seed, which is almost round, retains
the sweet marrowfat flavor when cooked. Peas having seed of this
character are well adapted for cold, wet and exposed situations.

the heat and drought of the past season it was full of vigor and
pods. Pkt. 25 cts., pt. 60 cts., qt. $1, 4pk. $3.75, pk. $7.25.
The Scotsman.* 4 grand new Pea, with strong haulms, dark
green foliage, long, curved, dark green pods,
produced in pairs, with ten or twelve peas in a pod, of immense size
and excellent flavor; heavy cropper, well suited for exhibition pur-
poses. Height, 3% feet. Pt. 60 cts., qt. $1, 4pk. $3.75, pk. $7.25.
Thomas Laxton.* A cross between Gradus and one of the extra-
early sorts. It ripens within a day or two of the earliest round

Mammoth
Marrowfat
This undoubtedly is the largest
Pea in cultivation, with larger pods
than any Pea heretofore intro-
duced—pods running from 6 to 7
inches in length—filled with peas
not unduly large, of the true mar-
rowfat flavor.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT may be considered
a second-early or main-crop Pea;
the height is from 5 to 6 feet.
BODDINGTON’S MAMMOTH
MARROWFAT is a heavy cropper
and exceedingly prolific, the pods
hanging mostly in pairs; the con-
stitution is wonderfully vigorous
and hardy, far excelling, in this
respect, many of the marrow va
rieties ; the color of both pods and
haulm is a rich, velvety green,—-
to be exact, one might call it a
Mammoth Alderman.

The varieties of this class are tender, and will not bear much cold. Plant about the middle of April, if
the ground is warm and the season favorable, and at intervals throughout the season for a succession, finish-
ing about the 15th of August. The best mode of culture is in rows 2 feet apart, and the Beans 2 inches apart
and 2 inches deep in the rows. Keep well hoed, and draw the earth up to the stem, but only when dry;
working them when wet with rain or dew will cause them to rust and injure the crop.

WHAT QUALITY MEANS
Quality means the best and finest
types procurable in their respective
classes. We go to specialists for our
vegetable seeds. Our customers, the
grower and the private gardener, de-
mand the highest grade. We have
no cheap catalogue trade, ‘‘Quality”’
may mean a little higher price.
“Quality,” in fact, means “quality,”
and we know that when you buy
from us you get it,—and our cus-
tomers know it too.

BUSH LIMA BEANS
The * Burpee-Improved” Bush Lima
”
is an entirely ‘‘New Creation.’’ The pods are truly enormous in
size, borne in great abundance upon bushes 2% feet high by 2 feet
across. The Beans are both larger and thicker than those of the
popular Burpee’s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole
Lima. An expert’s opinion: ‘‘ This is the finest Bush Lima that has
ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and 20 to 24 inches
high with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very pro-
lific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven
pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod con-
tains three, four or five beans, and there are more pods containing
five than there are containing three beans; so that there is an im-
provement of from one to two beans in each pod, and this, taken
with the great number of pods borne, makes the yield enormous. In
quality this Bean ranks with the very best and the beans are of large
size. In earliness it comes before Henderson’s and Burpee’s Bush,
and is about a week earlier than the latter. This Bean is bound to
be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima—a continuous bearef.”

CABBAGE

Berza
For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds; prick out when plants are strong enough into other hotbeds; or sow in
coldframes in March, transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts is passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row.
For succession sow in open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in
shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 2% feet apart and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh,
rich soil. well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as
they appear above ground. To preserve the plants, sprinkle them with wood ashes, air-slaked lime, plaster, slug-shot or tobacco dust
early in the morning while the plants are wet with dew.

PROF. L. H. BAILEY
Dean of Agriculture.at Cornell University, and
a world-known authority on horticultural and
agricultural subjects, writes in ‘‘Collier’s
Weekly,” October 29, 1910, under the head,
“Making of New Plants—the Creation of Im-
proved Varieties,” the following terse and per-
tinent remarks, which we take the honor of
printing, as they conform to our ideas of what
quality seeds should be, and are along the lines
which we are endeavoring to proceed, and the
policy which we are trying to follow. It will
pay our friends and customers to read the
remarks of Professor Bailey, founded on theory
and actual practice.
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE GROWER
“T can not make my reader a plant breeder ;
but I want to open his mind to a great line of
progress that is little realized.
““T desire to say to him that it will pay him
increasingly, as plant-breeding methods im-
prove, to take good care to purchase only well-
bred seed, not only of choice flowers and high-
class vegetables, but of field crops as well. It
is not enough that seeds be true to name, clean
of weeds, and strong enough to grow; they
should also have good ancestry or pedigree.
“T wish to suggest, further, that he will find
it pleasant and profitable work himself to im-
prove the strain in some one or more of the
plants that he cultivates. This can often be

The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground has
become warm; for a succession continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet
apart each way, covering abour half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants toa hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the

its value for early planting and early maturity. It is a rapid
grower, and produces ears meas-

MELON D’EAu
Zandia
Cultivated in hills, which should be 6 to 8 feet apart each way. Plant in May, ten seeds to a hill, and when the plants are well up, thin
out to three. Pinch the ends of the growing shoots to induce early fruiting. They prefer a light, rich soil.
Cole’s Early. Ripens delicious Melons in northern states,
a )EOwhere Melons never matured before. Just as
valuable for middle and southern states, ripening Melons weeks be-
fore any other. The beautiful, bright red flesh is crisp and of deli-
cate texture—granulated, cool and sparkling. In flavor it islusciously
sweet and refreshing. The Melons are not large, seldom over 12
inches in length by 9 inches in diameter, but what they lack in size
is more than made up in number and solidity. The heart is large,
there is little or no cavity, and very few seeds—all solid flesh, the

as early in spring as practicable, in shallow drills 1 foot apart, covering with fine soil, which should be pressed down by the use of a light
roller or the back of a spade, When the young plants are strong enough, thin out to 4 inches apart.

Peppers are indispensable as
a seasoning for soups and meats.
The large varieties are mainly
used for this purpose and pick-
ling. The mild, sweet varieties,
like Red Apple and Ruby King, are used for
mangoes, while the small-fruited sorts are the
best for sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March or
April, or in a warm, sheltered border in May,
and, when season is favorable, transplant in
rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row, in
good, rich ground.

WHAT QUALITY
MEANS
Quality means the best
and finest types procurable
in their respective classes.
We go to specialists for our
vegetable seeds. Our cus-
tomers, the grower, the pri-
vate gardener, demand the
highest grade. We have no
cheap catalogue trade.
“ Quality”? may mean a little
higher price. “Quality,” in
fact, means “quality,” and
we know that when you buy
from us you get it,—and our
customers know it too.

RADISH
Radieshen, Rettig Rapis, RAve, PETITE RAVE
For an early supply sow in January and February in hotbeds, keeping
well ventilated. In May they may be sown out-of-doors. Successive sow-

should make a rapid growth.

10 cts., oz. 25c., 141b. 75c., lb. $2.
Crimson Giant. This variety is suitable for either forcing or early
planting out-of-doors. A remarkable feature of this
Radish is that it will grow double the size of other round red forcing Rad-
ishes and still remain solid, not showing the least sign of becoming hollow.
In shape this new Radish is round to oval, and is very attractive. The flesh
is mild and tender, and we recommend it to our customers as one of the
best in its class, having found it to be such in our extensive trials of Rad-
ishes. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts., lb. $1.75.

~ New Forc-
Giant Butter. ing Radish,
round, short-leaved, scarlet.
One of its most prominent features
is the perfect regularity of its fine
round shape and its very small
tap-root. A further improvement
gained by careful selection con-
sists in its being very short-leaved
and of a vivid scarlet coloration.
The tastefulness of its tender and
crisp flesh is unrivaled and will be
acknowledged by every one who
has compared this, my introduc-
tion, with other varieties. ‘‘Giant
Butter’ does not, in spite of its
uncommon size, become hollow
and pithy, but keeps crisp and juicy
for weeks, even longer than any
other kind. Owing to its short
leaves it may now be successfully
used for forcing. Its size, of course,
demands a broader as well as a
deeper sowing which will but re-
compense by a good crop, as five
to six Radishes generally have a
weight ofone pound. Pkt. 25 cts.,

TOMATO

TOMATE
Tomate
For early plants sow in hotbeds early in March, in drills 5 inches apart and one-half inch deep; when the plants are about 2 inches high,
transplant into another hotbed 4 inches apart each way; plant out in the open ground early in May, or as soon as danger from frost is over,
4 feet apart each way in hills, which should have ¢
shovelful of well-rotted manure mixed with the soil. Water freely at time of transplant-
ing; when the first fruit is set, pinch off the ends of the branches to obtain early fruit. Sufficient plants for a small garden can be grown in
a shallow box or large flower-pot by placing it in a sunny window in a warm room or kitchen. For late use sow in a sheltered border in
May, and set out the plants in July. The green fruit can be picked off before frost and ripened under glass. By training the vines on trel
lises or tying to stake, the fruit will ripen better and be of finer quality.

ESCULENT PLANTS, ROOTS AND HERBS
Helinriti The wonderful new winter vegetable. -T he greatest addition to the vegetable
——————_ kingdom for many years. A complete substitution in taste for fresh asparagus.
Yields half as much again as the potato.
DESCRIPTION.—Helianti is a hybrid of the sunflower family. It attains a height of 10
feet or more, is very ornamental with its deep green foliage and produces an abundance of
bright yellow flowers. Its important economic use, however, is the edible root tubers. It has
been found absolutely unaffected by extreme heat and by severest cold, and it, therefore,
can be grown in any partof this continent. It will thrive in any kind of soil—from the wet-
test to the driest—but it responds quickly to generous treatment and it should be grown in
good soil for best results. \
THE CULTURE.—It is very easy; plant the tubers in the spring in rows about 3 feet
apart each way, and hill the plants up once before laying them by.
THE HARVEST AND STORAGE are just as simple. After the stems have become dry in
late fall, plow the tubers up just like potatoes and store them in a pit like sweet potatoes, or
in a cellar or barn, covering them with a layer of moist sand. Where winters are not so
severe, the tubers may be even left in the field and dug when needed. In that case a light
mulching is advisable. If any tubers should dry out in storage, the soaking in water for a
few hours will soon restore their fresh appearance and taste.
THE TASTE OF HELIANTI is rather difficult to define. It has been pretty well described
as resembling somewhat that of French artichokes and then again of asparagus, with a dis-
tict flavor of mushrooms. Thereis not the least doubt that Helianti will soon be one of the
most popular vegetables in this country, as it has already made its place in many countries
of Europe, because it combines easy digestibility with good flavor and productiveness,
permitting of a reasonable market price.
THE PREPARATION OF HELIANTI FOR THE TABLE is simple in its rudiments. There
are, of course, hundreds of ways open to the ingenious housewife, but we will mention here
a few of the very simplest only. Scrape the tuber, soak in cold water (this is important as
it retains the whiteness of the meat) and cook quickly after adding the usual condiments.
Or, boil soft in salted water and serve with butter and freshly chopped parsley. Or, cut up
and fry the tubers, when they excel French-fried potatoes in taste. Tubers, 25 cts. each,
$1.60 for 10, $2.50 for 25, postpaid; $4 for 50, $6.50 per 100, $14 for 250, $25 for 500, $45 for 1,000.

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS
(Crambe Maritima)
Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a delicacy in
Europe. It isone of the most succulent and edible vegetables known, and can be
forced like rhubarb, or grown in the open ground and protected so that it will
bleach. In form and flavor it isnot unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but
boiled and served with drawn butter. We are importing some especially fine
stock this winter.
Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crown. $2 per doz., $15 per 100.
ASPARAG US ( Asparagus officinalis )
Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow, going twice
in a row, getting row as deepas possible without getting in the yellow soil, spread
in row good well-rotted manure or fertilizer, drop on manure about ten inches
apart (eye up) good two year-old roots, cover with a hoe about two inches. In
about two or three weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate; work
same as other field crops, gradually working in soil as season advances, naturally
it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one-horse plow very
shallow, so as to not cut the crowns, and work same as the previous season; the
next season, your bed will be ready for cutting for market, simply plow off same
as season before, then turn in large double with a two-horse plow and rake off the
top and your bed is completed, and you can cut every day until July 4—a bed
For a garden, follow the same plan;
but as the gardens are generally very rich, you can plant much closer, and work
made this way will last for twenty years.

Our formulas contain the following varieties blended in propor-
tions which I have found to give the most satistactory results on dif-
ferent soils and situations: Orchard Grass, Meadow Foxtail, Sheep’s
Fescue, Rhode Island or Creeping Bent, Hard Fescue, Swect-scented
Vernal (True Perennial), Meadow Fescue, English Rye Grass, Italian
Rye Grass, Red Top, Timothy and Red Alsike Clover. On ordinary
fertile soil three bushels of this mixture are sufficient to seed an acre,
but where the land is poor a larger quantity will be necessary.

CALADIUMS “Vans
This plant, in the past few years, has been very much in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and
have such a variety of color in their foliage. Well-grown plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, embra-
cing every degree and shade that can be formed of pure white, deep green and intense crimson. As pot-plants they form specimens of
great beauty, and are exceedingly useful to the decorator and the grower of decorative plants, lending striking effect to any collection of
foliage plants. They are also of great value for bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations.
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are easily cultivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees
Fahr., and a moist atmosphere. The bulbs should be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty
of sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass,
and shaded only during very bright sunshine. During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not
sink below 60 degrees Fahr.
We offer an English and Brazilian collection of new and very rare fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest transparent-
leaved kinds, consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country, and were
selected from over 100 varieties.
Dry Caladium tubers or bulbs should be kept in dry sand in a temperature 60 to 65 degrees Fahr.—a too high or too low temperature
causes dry rot—and should never be allowed to fall below 50 degrees Fahr.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY DAHLIAS
The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. The
very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of
form, continuous flowering qualities and general excellence. If other varieties are wanted, we shall be glad to procure them for you.
_NoTEe.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain
varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good, if not better results.
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS
Eight Grand Giant Dahlias
The eight sorts here offered are, without exception, the largest
and most perfect double-flowering Dahlias now grown, flowers
of all of them attaining a size of between 6 and 9g inches across
under ordinary cultivation.
Golden Wedding. Probably the largest Dahlia in exist-
ence, being fully twice as large as
Yellow Le Colosse. On account of the gigantic size and
the color, which is a deep, golden yellow, in contrast to
the various shades generally found in dahlias, this was
most appropriately named ‘“‘Golden Wedding,” being the
same shade as the Golden Wedding Chrysanthemum, and
also fully as large; flowers, the past season, measuring 6
to 8% inches in diameter, petals reflexing almost to the
stem with a full center. The plant is also a giant. The
flowers are produced on stems 3 feet and more in length.
In spite of its gigantic size, it is most effective for vases
or decorations, as the stems, though rigid, droop gracefully
under their great load. The leaves, like the plants, are very
large and heavy. This is one of, if not the best exhibition
variety ever produced. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt. 4 "©w giant decora-
eo tive Dahlia, which
surpasses any other Dahlia of its color. The plant is a re-
markably strong, vigorous grower, not quite so early a
bloomer as Dorothy Peacock, but blooming earlier than
most of the large Dahlias. The flowers are of an immense size, often
6% inches in diameter; and 3 to four inches through, and always
full to the center. The flowers are produced on long stems in great
abundance. The color is a deep rose pink, the reflex of the petals
being the same color as the face, or a shade darker, in contrast to so
many varieties that have a pale reflex color. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Cuban Giant. Very large, dark, rich maroon. Roots, 30 cts.
oo aeecach, $3 per doz.
Fireburst. This is a seedling of Le Colosse; has broader and
———__ longer petals, is more flatly built, but a far more in-
tense scarlet, slightly shaded orange, and produces specimens which
measure 8 inches and over. Fiowers are borne apart from foliage ;
of great value. Height, 3% feet; plant spreading 3 feet. 75 cts. each,
$7.50 per doz.
H Its name suggests the size; truly gigantic and mas-
Gigantea. sive in form. The individual pois Ea short and it
requires many to form such a monstrous flower. Color a soft sul-
phur-yellow; distinct and attractive. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
Mrs. Roosevelt. The color is a delicate shade of soft pink;
flowers are perfectly double and very large,
measuring 6 to 8 inches in diameter. Strong roots, 35 cts. each,
$3.50 per doz.
Mme. Van den Dael. 4 splendid decorative variety for cut-
————_ iting; color soft rose with deeper
markings, shading to creamy white in the center. 25 cts. each, $2.50
per doz.
The most sensational Dahlia

variety of mammoth proportions, which under ordinary cultivation
will produce flowers 6 inches across, and can be grown to measure
full g inches. It is of free growth, remarkably profuse-flowering and

SHOW BEDDING DAHLIAS. The following three varieties of Dahlias were noted by us last summer as being
remarkably good as bedding varieties on account of their height (about 2% ft.),
their compactness and free and early-flowering habit—for edging, shrubbery, borders, or for the formal garden, they wil! certainly be in
reat demand as soon as better known.
We can highly recommend them for this purpose.

readily seen—the graceful elegance of the Giant Century and the
lasting quality of the Decorative. The plant is a very strong, heavy,
sturdy grower, of branching habit, producing the flowers on very
long, straight stems; it stands 5 feet or more in height. The plant

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY GLADIOLI
As a cut-flower the Gladiolus is more accommodating to circumstances than are most others. If required at an earlier date than that
on which the flowers would naturally open, they may be cut and the stems inserted in water, and placed in a warm temperature, to which
response is speediiy manifest; or, if too early, they may be retarded, and will keep fresh for several days in a cool room or cellar. For con-
veying distances, they are unsurpassable for the length of time they will remain without moisture in a close-fitting box uninjured, and
when placed in water on arrival at their destination, they quickly revive, and the unopened blooms commence to expand nearly as well as
though they had roots and corm beneath them. : : ;
Grand Orchid-flowered Gladiolus y
KUNDERDI “GLORY”
has “‘distinctiveness’’ stamped all over it; it will not only revolutionize
the family of garden Gladiolus but will be one of the most important fac-
tors in commercial floriculture. This variety was disseminated last year
and all reports are eminently satisfactory. The type is distinctively new.
Broad-expanded, wide-open flowers, paired by twos, face all in the same
direction, and are carried on straight, stout stalks never less than 3% feet
in height. From four to eight flowers are open at one time. The form:
each petal is exquisitely ruffled and fluted at the edges, such as is only
noticeable in orchids. It gives the flower a refined appearance, and it
appeals instantly to the fancier. The color is delicate cream-pink with a
neat attractive crimson stripe in the center of each lower petal. The shade
of pink is unknown in Gladioli. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100.

yellow. The throat is splashed with carmine, and the lower ends of the outside petals are also blushed with carmine. The
stamens are purple and the stigmas pale carmine, this little addition in the coloring relieving the creamy effect of the petals.

GLADIOLI OF RECENT
INTRODUCTION
Gladioli are among the easiest and most satisfactory bulbs to grow,
and beautify the large and small garden alike—their utility as a
decorative flower either cut or growing is unquestioned.
Gladioli can be grown in beds by themselves or planted in the her-
baceous border, or among the roses, peonies and shrubbery, where
they will flower, when other varieties are out of blooni.
The best time to plant is about the first of May, putting in the
smallest bulbs first, and reserving the larger bulbs for later planting.
A succession of bloom may be had from July to October by making
plantings two weeks apart up to the end of June.
To secure early blooms, the bulbs can be started in pots, or they
can be retarded by late planting and cold storage.
Bulbs can be planted as soon as danger of frost is past. A good,
deep, rich soil suits them best. They should be set about 4 inches deep
and 6 inches apart each way, if beds are required. When in full growth
and coming into flower, they should be heavily mulched or watered
with diluted cow manure. If necessary, stake with light bamboo canes.
ALINE. One of the finest pure white sorts ever introduced. The
flower is pure white and very large, bell shape, well formed, on a
strong spike. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.
AMERICA. By far the most vigorous and easily grown Gladiolus
known. This beautiful Gladiolus has produced as great a sensa-
tion as the now famous Princeps. The flowers, which are of im-
mense size, are of the most exquisite soft lavender-pink, very light,
almost a tinted white; the color is the same as seen in the most
exquisite Cattleya Orchids. For cut use and for bedding it is with-
out a rival. 10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100.
BERLINIA. Beautiful shell-pink, marked with strong carmine.
Flowers extra-large. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $12 per 100.
ELDORADO. Deep cream-yellow, lower petals spotted with ma-
roon and black. 15 cts. each, $:.25 per doz., $10 per 100.

BODDINGTON’'S
GOLD MEDAL AMARYLLIS (Ker’s)
The most gorgeous and beautiful of all bulbous plants. The original species, Amaryllis aulicum, A. equestre, A. psittacinum, A.
Regina, etc., were first introduced to gardens more than a century ago. Very many of these species were cultivated and flowered for the
first time in Europe in the gardens of Liverpool merchants, whose ships brought them from the West Indian Islands and Brazil. The
first recorded hybrid was raised by a Prescot clockmaker named Johnson, and is still grown and bears his name, A. Johnsoni. Many beau-
tiful varieties figure largely in the garden of literature of the first half of this century, but these, from a decorative and florists’ point of
view, were all defective, having long tubular flowers much shaded and marked green in the center, and with narrow petals; so that, hav-
ing reached as near perfection as possible, their culture declined, until the advent, some twenty-five years ago, of two new species, Ama-
ryllis Leopoldii and A. pardina, from the valleys of the Peruvian Andes. These two varieties were so different from the existing sorts that
observing growers hybridized them with the very finest of the old varieties, and it speedily became apparent that they would prove of
great potency in the further improvement of these lovely plants.
This hope has been fulfilled to a large extent, and varieties richer and more varied in color, of fine form, large size and vigorous
growth, have been produced.
Formerly, a good Amaryllis bore two or three flowers on the scape, now it produces four to six, and very often two scapes from the
bulb; the diameter of the fiowers was 3 to 5 inches, now it is 6 to 8, and even roinches. We continue their most careful culture, which year
by year adds new beauty and popularity to these already fine plants. :
The flowering season of the Amaryllis is during the months of February, March, April and May, although with a little forcing they
may easily be had in flower in December and January; and we know of no more showy or effective flower for the decoration cf the con-
servatory, during the six months mentioned.
Their cultivation is simple. After flowering, they should be placed ina warm house, if this is available, or the warmest part of the
greenhouse, and watered freely until the end of August, when water should be gradually withheld and the bulbs allowed to go to rest. By
the beginning of October, the pots may be laid on their sides under the greenhouse stage. If they are required to bloom in December or
January, they should be placed in a temperature of 60° to 65° about the middie of November; but if not required so early they should be
started about the middle of January, when a temperature of 50° to 55° will suit them well. They should be watered very sparingly at first.
The best time to pot the bulbs is just before starting them, and a compost of two-thirds good loam, one-third leaf-mold, with a little sand,
will suit them admirably.
Owing to the increasing popularity of this better class of Amaryllis, we are encouraged to offer the following Gold Medal Collections,
imported directly from the great raiser, Ker; all strong bulbs that will flower the first year, not less than one collection sold.

LILIES
Do not plant Lilies in the open; a partial shade is essential for successful cultibation in the hot climate of America
By ARTHUR HERRINGTON
Author of “The Chrysanthemum," and a Practical writer on Horticultural Subjects
The white Lily has ever been esteemed as ‘‘ Flora’s’’ emblem of purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that
popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly deserves.
“Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’—American, European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern Hemis-
phere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast continent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and the Philip-
pines. Their geo raphical distribution is peculiar in that they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance still is the fact
that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be because certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses, in great quantities, every
year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the true possibilities of the family, as a whole, as garden flowers.
A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the abun-
dance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming from June
until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in gorgeous
} beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding years.
The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best garden
Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their permanent
character arid their subsequent increase in numbers. With a few ex-
ceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average depth
and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all, only to be
once planted and left alone for a number of years, when they may have
increased to such an extent as to need lifting and replanting in re-
duced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum of the swamps,
and Canadense of the fertile meadows; ‘‘they toil not, neither do they
spin,’’ but in their season they are pictures of great beauty. These,
although natives, are worthy of garden cultivation, and the response to
garden culture is seen in greater statue and more abundant blooming.
! The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms
of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a
score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to
the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. croceum, L. umbel-
/atum, and their allies, in many shades from yellow to dark crimson.
As summer advances, new kinds vary the garden scene; of special
prominence being the old white ZL. ca: didum, L. longifiorum, L.
Japontcum Brownii (in its several varieties), L. tenutfolium and L.
superbum excelsum (testaceum). In August, we have L. Ae n777/1,
with its great-branched beds of orange-yellow flowers, borne aloft
from 6 to 10 feet high, a noble Lily, that will grow anywhere and
increase fast. With the Tiger Lily, and varied forms of Z. speciosum
to carry on the flowering till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we
may have five months of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all
easily grown kinds. These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the
culture of some that demand extra care or special treatment, like the
pretty pink Krameri, the golden Auratum, or the giant L. giganleum.
Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by
planting in special associations ; for example, among rhododendrons
or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved,
enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too, make
an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming,
and both mutually helpful to the other. Make a great bed or border
by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with Lilies and
peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into a floral
feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.
LILIUM HENRYI
(The Yellow Speciosum)
A splendid Lily from the mountains of China. It is a
most vigorous Lily. Its flowers closely resemble those cf
L. speciosum in shape, but in color they are a handsome
deep orange-yellow banded with green. It will thrive with-
out any special care and produce a strong panicle of flowers.
Like most other Lilies of the Speciosum class, it is well to
‘ WI , cover it a little during the winter months. $1 each, $10
Lilium Henryi per doz., $75 per 100.

Various Japanese, Furopean and American Garden Lilies
FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING AND NATURALIZING
Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies. A stubborn clay may be improved for them by
deep digging, anc incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mould. They all thrive in peat or rotted turf, or indeed
in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. They should be planted deep for their size, never less than
six inches. When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally

Retarded Lily and Other Bulbs from Cold Storage
The forcing of cold-storage Lilies is not an experiment any more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the practicability
of this method of producing Lilies out of season. The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keep the bulbs, when first
potted, in a cool place or cellar, so as to produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light.
Lilium speciosum so treated will flower from four to six months from time of potting up. Lilium giganteum in about four months.

“Down where the Water Lily grows”
WATER LILIES
All water, whether it be a lake, stream, pond, or even a small pool, seems to hold a certain charm for everyone, and, when this water
is inhabited and beautified by aquatic plants and fish, it becomes fascinating. More especially is this the case when the plants are gorgeous
tender Nymphzas and Nelumbiums, or the chaste and artistic hardy Water Lilies, and when we consider the ease with which these plants
can be grown, there is no reason why every natural lake, pond and stream having the proper conditions, which are sunshine, still, warm
water, and plenty of rich soil, should not be so beautified. Where stagnant pools exist, it becomes a hygienic necessity to stock same with
plants and fish, for, as in the house aquarium, when properly balanced with plant and animal life, the water becomes, and will remain,
pure and sweet, and in place of a mosquito and malaria-breeding pool we have a healthful and delightful aquatic garden. Aquatics given
the same or similar conditions as those under which our native Water Lilies are found will grow luxuriantly and flower profusely the entire
season, and will give more pleasure for the time and care expended in their cultivation than any other plants of which we know. The
amount of flowers produced and space covered by a single specimen Nymphza, even the rarer and more expensive varieties, become
inexpensive, compared to the cost of the most ordinary bedding plants.
We can supply a full collection of Water Lilies and Water Plants. List and prices upon application.

JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immediate
and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

CULTURE OF IRISES.—The common varieties of Iris are well-known favorites of
the Lorder, and the whole family deserves attention for their excellent faculty of tak-
ing care of themselves if properly planted in the first instance. The tuberous or bulb-
ous-rooted kinds do not require a rich soil: a sandy loam suits them well and they
thrive in peat. Several of the most beautiful varieties should be grown in pots in
frame, or in a cool greenhouse. All the varieties can be planted out in clumps in
front of a shrubbery or herbaceous border, where they may be seen to advantage, or
in the pasture and woodlands. The crown of the bulb must not be more than 3 inches
below the surface.
Tritoma (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily)
May Queen. A companion to Pfitzerii, producing tall flower-stems on which are
borne great plume-like blossoms of rich yellow and flame color. 25 cts. each, $2.50
per doz , $15 per 100.
Pfitzeri (The Everblooming Flame Flower). The freest-flowering variety in cultiva-
tion, in bloom from August to November, with spikes from 3 to 4 feet high and heads
of bloom over 12 inches long, of a rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect,
either planted singly in the be rder,ar in masses. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
Tricolor. A charming small-flowered sort, in which three distinct colors are com-
bined in the same spike of flowers, the buds first appearing cochineal-red, chang-
ing to canary-\ellow as they develop, finally opening a sulphur-white; very free-
flowering. August to October. 2% feet. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
Triumph. A strong-growing variety that produces from August to October flower-
heads 12 to 16 inches long, on stems 4 to 5 feet high, and are entirely distinct in
color, being of a rich saffron-yellow, shaded orange-red. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

‘Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots
FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SUMMER-FLOWERING
AMARYLLIS
Amaryllis, Grand Vittata Hybrids
50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $40 per 100
The stock that we offer of this grand flowering bulb are grown
from seed procured from the most reliable hybridists of this beau-
tiful plant, in England, Veitch and Kerr. They have been grown
for us under most favorable conditions in Bermuda, and are
thoroughly well-ripened bulbs—all flowering size.
Our grower sends us a fine field report upon these bulbs—
stating the colors are exquisite, from purest white, all colors of
red and crimson, rose and pink striped and variegated.
The bulbs will be sent out in mixture, no two varieties exactly
alike—this will save confusion in endless names.
Amaryllis may be grown in a sunny window or greenhouse, by
following the cultural directions given below. See illustration.
In order to obtain finespecimens of Amaryllis the following method
should be followed: On receipt of the bulbs they should be placed
where they will be always slightly moist and warni—under the
benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs be-
fore the flower-buds appear; when first potted, give very little wa-
ter, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat, increase
the supply of water as the plants progress.

LYCORIS squamigera, or Amaryllis Halli (The Magic
Lily of Japan). A perfectly hardy
Amaryllis producing beautiful pink flowers. Produces in early spring
attractive green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and
disappears, and any one not familiar with its habits would think the
bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower-stalks
spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel
of large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from
eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear
blue. As the bulb is perfectly hardy without any protection, it can be
planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best
time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before
flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the
hardy border or among shrubbery. Strong-flowering bulbs, 25 cts. each,

SECTION IV—PLANT DEPARTMENT
A Few Hints on Outdoor Rose Growing
ARRIVAL OF PACKAGE.—Immediately the package containing
the Roses arrives, it should be taken to a cellar or sheltered place,
where the drying winds cannot penetrate, to be carefully unpacked.
The plants should be taken from the bundle and the roots and tops
thoroughly sprinkled with water, after which they may be covered
with a sack or mat until they are planted. Should the weather be
wet and the soil unfit to receive them, it is best to open a trench, lay
the plants in thickly, covering the roots well with soil, until the weather
be fine and soil sufficiently dry to tread upon. If planting is being
performed during a dry wind or sunny day, it will benefit the plants,
before taking them from the shelter in which they were unpacked,
to dip the roots of each plant in a thick puddle made of clay and
water; this will cover the fibrous roots with a coating sufficient to
protect them from the most severe winds.
FROST. Should aS
set in after the receipt of
trost
plants, so as to prevent
planting, the
arrival should not be
opened, but rolled up ina
mat or straw and put away
ina dry house where there
heat. The plants,
which are always
fully packed before leav-
ing, will, when so treated,
Roses on
is no
care-
keep safely for one month.
DELAY OF PACK-
AGE. — It occasionally
happens through negli-
gence on the part of ex-
press companies that pack-
ages containing plants are
unduly delayed, and in-
stances may occur when
some of the plants may
have become shriveled.
In such cases, lay the
shriveled plants quite flat
in the bottom of a trench
in the ground, similar to
that prepared for celery,
cover them entirely (both
roots and tops) with soil
which has received a good
soaking with water, and
them to remain
there for three days. At
the expiration of that
period uncover and take
them out, when it will be
found that the wood and buds have regained their normal condition.
allow
SOIL.—That which is especially adapted to the Rose is a deep soil
of a greasy nature. Where this is not to be had, and the soil is light,
add either clay or loam in addition to manure. If heavy clay, some
burnt earth, sand or leaf mold should be added.
SITUATION AND PREPARATION OF GROUND.—A place
sheltered from high winds (open, and not surrounded by trees, as |
closeness is liable to cause mildew), and apart from other flowers.
should, if possible, be assigned to them; a south, southeastern or
southwestern position is best, the beds being situated so as to receive
the morning sun. Oblong beds, not over 4 feet, are preferable, as the
flowers may be cut or examined without going off the path or grass.
The Rose will not thrive in a stagnant soil, so that if drainage does
Frau Karl Druschki, or Snow-white Rose
BY AN
EXPERT
not naturally exist it must be provided. If it is not convenient to
use tiles, a layer of broken stones, six to nine inches deep, or any other
coarse material will answer the purpose. This done, the soil should
be dug or trenched to a depth of at least 18 inches, mixing plenty of
manure, made very much like a sandwich, with alternate layers of
manure and earth.
PLANTING may be safely continued until April. Great care
must be taken to avoid deep planting. In case cf dwarf Roses, place
the union of the stock with the bud 2 inehes beneath the soil.
Each root should be laid out carefully, taking care that two roots do
not cross each other or coil around; this is very important for the
well-being of plants. The roots of standard Roses require similar
treatment, and must be placed about 5 inches below the surface.
Do not put the manure on the bare roots, but first place some
; fine soil over them, after
which manure may be
laid on, Tread firmly and
spread some coarse litter
on the surface around the
plant as a protection from
frost. Standards should
be staked, and any very
long shoots on the dwarf
plants shortened.
MANURING. — Cow
manure is admittedly the
best. It is best to apply
surface dressing in the
autumn, for protection
against frost, which should
be forked or hoed in dur-
ing the early spring.
PRUNING.—It is best
to prune early in March
(unless the plants are late
planted, when it should
be deferred until April).
In all cases it is necessary
to cut away all weak or
unripe wood, leaving only
the strong and _ well-
matured. This, in the
case of strong-growing
kinds, should be cut back
to five or six eyes; the
weaker and shorter-grow-
ing must be pruned closer,
leaving only two or three
eyes on each shoot. This
refers to hybrid perpetual,
hybrid tea, and tea Rose;
the climbing and pillar sorts should not be cut back.
WATERING.—Should the spring and summer prove dry, watering
is absolutely necessary, and, if liquid cow manure can be had, so
much the better.
INSECTS.—Insects are very troublesome to the Rose-grower. In
spring, almost as soon as the plants begin to grow, the caterpillar or
Rose grub attacks them; these can be destroyed only by hand-picking.
After this the greenfly makes its appearance, which should be kept in
subjection by spraying the plants with X. L. All Insecticide or Aphine,
as listed on page 145.
MILDEW. Dust flowers of sulphur over the affected parts as soon
as it makes its appearance. Another good remedy is sulphide of
potassium, Moz. to the gallon, applied with syringe, or use Fungine.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY ROSES
DORMANT, HARDY, HYBRID PERPETUAL and OTHER ROSES
SELECTED LARGE TWO-YEAR-OLD BUSHES; LOW-BUDDED
Roses still hold popular sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have sade special arrangements this year with regard to
the quality of the stock and list of varieties, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness.
We are handling this year only English Roses, as we find these are much better ripened, and, if planted in the fall, winter-over much more
satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grow yn Roses usually sold at department stores. They are also budded lower, and are less liable to
“sucker’’ from the briar upon which they are budded.

The Grand New Rambler, EVANGELINE.
This variety is distinct; single flower 2 inches in diameter, borne in
large clusters, white with the tips of petals pink, deliciously fra-
grant. Evangeline is suitable for pergolas, parkways, trellises or
for whatever purpose they may be desired. Perfectly hardy, extra-
strong, 2-year-old, $1.50 each, bundle of 5 for $7..
DELIGHT, Flowers are large, bright red, with white center.
"This variety is a decided acquisition. Flowers
are borne in large clusters from forty to seventy-five in a cluster.
$1.50 each, bundle of five for $7.
HIAWATHA, The flowers are single, and are of a deep,
intense crimson shade with the petals shad-
ing to a pure white base. Flowers very freely. Extra-strong, 2-year,
field-grown, flowering plants, 35 cts. each, bundle of five for $1.50.
WEDDING BELLS. The most floriferous Rose yet pro-
duced. All the buds on each shoot
produce a cluster of beautiful fowers, of which the color is white,
with the upper half of the petals soft pink. Extra-strong, 2-year,
field-grown flowering plants, 35 cts. each, bundle of five for $1.50.
LADY GAY. The flowers are of a delicate cherry-pink
color, which fades to a soft white. The foli-
age is very profuse and of a glossy deep green shade. The effect of
a plant in full bloom, with the combination of the soft white flowers,
the cherry-pink buds, and the deep green foliage, is indeed charming.
Extra-strong, 2-year plants, 35 cts. each, bundle of five for $1.50.
New Climbing Rose, TAUSENDSCHON,
A thousand blooms. This beautiful climbing Rose is the result of
several crosses between the well-known Crimson Rambler with Tea
and Polyantha Roses. The flowers appear from beginning of June
till end of July in large, loose clusters; of a lovely soft pink color,
later on the somewhat curled petals assume a carmine-rose, when
in full bloom, giving the appearance of two different varieties. 35c.

The Grand Single Climbing Rose. A new single-flowering variety of great beauty, which appeals to every-
The flowers are of enormous size, 3 to 4 inches across, of a lovely shade of pink, with a cluster
of yellow stamens. These flowers are borne in immense clusters, and a large plant in full bloom is a sight not easily forgotten. They
last in perfection a long time, and are followed by brilliant red hips or berries, which are carried late into the winter; and as the
plant frequently retains its lovely green foliage until the end of November, it forms a beautiful decorative subject throughout the autumn
months. Strong two-year-old plants, 50 cts., bundle of 5 for $2.25, $40 per oo.
Flower of Fairfield. The Everblooming Crimson Rambler. This variety is a sport from the beautiful Crimson Rambler, is
similar in color, more brilliant and lasting than the old favorite. It also possesses the further advantage
over the Crimson Rambler in the fact that it flowers profusely on the young wood the first year. Flower of Fairfield starts to bloom
early in the spring and continues until late in the autumn.

Veilchenblau (Violet-blue). 1 has long been the de-
sire of rosarians to se-
cure a blue Rose. In Veilchenblau we have practically approached
this color. The steel-blue flowers of this new Rose appear in large
clusters, are semi-double, of medium size and keep in bloom a long
time. The showy yellow stamens, contrasting with the blue flower,
give the whole a striking appearance. 35 cts. each, 5 for $1.50.

Hydrangea arborescens sterilis
EVERBLOOMING HYDRANGEA
also called SNOWBALL HYDRANGEA, HILLS OF SNOW,
GRANDIFLORA ALBA, ETC,
Believed to be the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced
during the last twenty years. It was found growing wild on the rocky
hills of Western Pennsylvania several years ago. The old well-known
Hydrangea paniculata grandifiora, which, up to the introduction of
the new form, has been one of the most popular flowering shrubs,
blooms in this latitude only during August, while the new sort blooms
continuously from early June until the end of the growing season. The
size of the flower is one of the striking features of this shrub. Blooms
12 inches across are frequent in young plants, while the average size
of mature plants is usually 6 inches or more. The color of the flower
is a pure, dazzling white, without the creamy and later pink tints ofthe
old H. panicu'a'a grandiflora. The flowers, when’ cut, possess re-
remarkable keeping qualities, remaining in good form and color many
days. This Hydrangea gives every promise of becoming even more
popular than the well-known H. paniculata grandiflora, as it lacks
the coarseness and stiffness of that variety; it is refined in tone and
effect, and with its abundant and handsome foliage it lends itself
It is a comely, handsome shrub at all
times. It is as least as hardy as H. paniculata grandifiora.

NOVELTY CHINESE PLANTS
The plant treasures of Northwestern China will add immensely to the material of, and interest in, the hardy garden during the next
decade or two. Hitherto the region has been unexplored, and the recent expeditions of Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, in the
interest of the Arnold Arboretum, of Harvard University, have resulted in the introduction of hundreds of most desirable plants. These
will be offered to the public as fast as stocks in sufficient quantities can be produced.
Raised from seeds collected in China, for the Arnold Arboretum.
First introduced in the United States by R. & J. Farquhar.
Gold Medal awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1910.
Clematis montana ru-
bens. (\Wilson.) This beautiful
—————_ hardy, new Clematis be-
ginsto bloom early in June, whena
profusion of soft, rosy red blooms,
resembling those of the Japanese
anemone, are produced. As the
flowers are borne on the young
wood, they appear more or less
freely until frost. A First-Class
Certificate was awarded to this
plant by the Royal Horticultural
Society, of London. The follow-
ing description is kindly furnished
by Mr. A. E. Thatcher, of the
Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass.:
“During the last few years we
have received from China, through
the exploration of Mr. E. H. Wil-
son, many remarkable and beauti-
ful new hardy climbers, but up to
the present time none of them sur-
pass this wonderful rosy red va-
riety of our old friend Clema‘is
montana. Every one knows well
the value of C. montana, and the
red variety is in every respect,
except the color of the flowers
and foliage, an exact counterpart.
It is perfectly hardy, and for any
position where the best hardy
climbers are desired no plant is
better suited. It will grow success-
fully in any good garden soil, fully
exposed to the sun, and needs but
little attention. The flowers, about
2 inches across, are produced in
thousands on an established plant,
which presents one of the most
beautiful objects possible to obtain
in our gardens. C/ematlis montana
rubens is one of the most beautiful
hardy climbers it is possible to
grow and should be in every gar-
den.”’ (See illustration.) 2%-inch
pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; 3%-
inch pots, 75 cts. each, $8 per doz.
Ampelopsis Thom-
sonii Vitis Thomsonit. (Wil-
— son.) This charming
new climber requires protection
during the winter. The leaves are
greenish purple above, and bright
claret color beneath, changing in
the autumn to rich red. Award of
Merit by the Royal Horticultural
Society, of London. 2%-inch pots,
50 cts. each, #5 per doz.; 3%-inch
pots, 75c. each, $8 per doz.
Ampelopsis Henryana.
Vitis Henryana. (Wilson.) The
ground color of the leaves is dark,
velvety green, with the midrib and.
principal veins silvery white. The
foliage has a very striking appear-
ance in autumn, when the ground
color changes to vivid red, the
midriband veins remaining white.
In Massachusetts, this vine re-
quires protection during winter,
but would probably prove quite
hardy south of New York. Award of Merit by the Royal Horticul-
tural Society, of London. 2%-inch pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.;
3%-inch pots, 75 cts. each, $8 per doz,
Clematis montana rubens
Clematis Koreana.
In habit this resembles C tangu-
ticus but differs from that variety
in having glaucous foliage and
flowers of a coppery yellow. This,
as its name implies, is Korean, not
Chinese. 2-inch pots, 30 cts. each,
$3 per doz.
Clematis tanguticus.
Fine Chinese variety of free and
rapid growth; foliage dense; bright
green. A good climber and one of
the best ground-covering plants.
Flowers bright yellow. August-
October. 2-inch pots, 30 cts. each,
$3 per doz.
Hydrangea petiolaris.
(Wilson.) This splendid hardy
climber, hitherto, has been but
little known, although it was intro-
duced from Japan a generation
ago. Once established, it climbs
rapidly, clinging by its little root-
lets like English ivy. The foliage
is bright green, quite massive, and
numerous flat flower-cymes are
produced which average 8 to Io
inches in diameter. The flowers
are white, coming in the early
summer. 3%-inch pots, 75 cts.
each, $8 per doz.

The Wonderful
Carnation
“Wodenethe” (wits)
White Beauty
“The white you have
been waiting for.”
It has been called by ex-
perts the most perfect
Carnation ever raised. The
flowers are very large, run-
ning from 4 to 4% in., of
absolutely perfect form,
delightfully fragrant, and
the calyx positively does
not split.
It is a seedling, now inits
fifth year, and has not been
unduly forced; conse-
quently the habit is very
vigorous and its constitu-
tion is unimpaired. This
variety has never failed to
draw forth the warmest
praise wherever in has been
exhibited. It has easily
beaten every variety with
which it has been in com-
petition.

Ip Garden
A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!
Rose plot,
Fringed pool,
Ferned grot—
The veriest school
Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not—
Not God! in Gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign:
’Tis very sure God walks in mine.

WHEN WE BUY, QUALITY IS OUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
OUR TERMS
Ba RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent allowed, to be
s} deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved credit, accounts
are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special prices and terms are
arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Fertilizers and Insecticides
are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
| ie ORDER EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as
early as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. Also that you write your order and letter on
separate sheets of paper; this will facilitate the filling of same, and will avoid errors. We aim to
ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible,
hence the importance of ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season advances,
however, some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If, however, you give
us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will use our knowledge and ability
to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made subject to
change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We, however, carry very
large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied by a remittance
in part payment, to guarantee charges.
We do not ispax ay Express or Freight, except as _follows—(Where this is practiced, the charge is added to the cost
of the goods). Il Vegetable and Flower Seeds at the Packet or Ounce rate are mailed or expressed free at our option.) If pints
and quarts of Peas, Beans and-Corn or other vegetable and flower seeds-are-wanted, postage or express prepaid, please remit extra at
the rate of 8 cents per pint, 16 cents per quart, or 8 cents per pound.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets, will now be
carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS”? rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rates to
all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials’’ rate is in force, the companies make a
special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum
charge is 35 cents. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4 per roo pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing
100 pounds, will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cents on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except
that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price, and 250 at 1,000 price; but it is
suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage,
and save transportation charges. When comparing

as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any pare the Quality, too
seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do we guarantee the success-
ful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or that the same will be free
from disease. If not accepted on these terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any

GARDEN GUIDE
A Short Story About “Quality” Bulbs
gL L bulbs look alike to some people. To the uninitiated, “Quality”
» is no more observable on the outside than it would be on the
outer coat of a seed. When we speak of “Quality” Bulbs, we
md mean clean, healthy, solid and well-ripened stock, bought from
reliable sources at a reasonable price, but at a higher figure
than is usually paid to secure first-class stock.
The size of the bulb does not always indicate “Quality;” seasons
differ. The bulb to plant or force must be carefully raised and properly
cured by experienced growers, and be true to name and color.
Bulbs are received from various sources all over the world. The
largest stocks, however, come from Holland, France, England, Ireland,
Japan, China, Asia Minor, Bermuda, etc., and even from the Holy Land.
It is the knowledge of when and where to procure the best bulbs,
the result of our long experience, the benefit of which accrues to our
customers.
Bulbs arrive from these countries at different months of the year;
Lilium Harrisii, the true Easter Jamesi Lily, Bermuda Longiflorum, and
Freesias during July. French Roman Hyacinths, Lilium Candidum, Paper
White and other Narcissi, also Freesias, in August. Dutch Hyacinths,
Tulips, Narcissi, Crocuses and miscellaneous Holland bulbs in Sep-
tember. Japanese and European Lilies in October. Spireas, Lily-of-
the-Valley, Gladiolus Colvillei and Gladiolus nanus types in November.
Customers should bear these facts in mind when ordering, and should
not get anxious over seeming delay and non-delivery of their fall
orders.
The secret of successful bulb-growing is to place your order early
so that delivery can be made immediately upon receipt of the bulbs.

BODDINGTON’S BRILLIANT BEDDING TULIPS
2 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
Boddington’s “Quality” Darwin Tulips
The Darwin Tulips originated in the north of France, where they were raised from seeds of the best varieties of Bybloems. It was
over a quarter of a century ago that a well-known Dutch bulb-grower first noticed their splendid qualities as garden Tulips, and, after
having grown them on for some time, he put them on the market, naming them after that great naturalist, Darwin.
They form a distinct class of Tulips, and one can easily tell Darwins from other late Tulips by the cup shape of the flowers, the robust
growth of almost every one of them, and the white, blue or black, but never yellow, markings inside at the base of the flowers. If the base is
yellow, itis not a Darwin. Another notable characteristic is, that when looking into the flowers, they are just as beautiful and, in some
instances, even more beautiful than when looking at the outside, which is never so with any other Tulips. And the greatest difference
between Darwins and other late Tulips is that almost every Darwin can be forced, some of them by the middle of February. With their
long stems and their bright colors ranging from white through all the shades of pink and purple to the most fiery scarlet, they form an
exquisite material for garden decoration, and, as such, the demand for them is constantly growing. Our collection is one of the best and
largest and the result of much care and selection. ;
Please note that.there are no yellow Darwins. Those that are sold as yellow are either Cottage Tulips or Breeders, and can be found
under those heads in our list. We wish to say here that the skins of most Darwin Tulip bulbs are very thin and do not stand much hand-
ling. They seldom have that nice appearance of the bulbs of the early varieties.
Planted in the herbaceous border they make a great show in late May and June. Flowers are large and borne upon tall, erect stems.
To secure the best effects, plant five to twenty bulbs in a group or bed the same as the early varieties.
Anton Roozen. Large flowering; rosy pink. er. Painted Lady. Creamy white. A
5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $4 per 100. ‘Ae »

Baronne de la Tonnaye. Clear, rosy car-

recommending this great standard
variety. The flowers are large, well
formed, and keep their brightness

weather. The stems are very tall
and strong, holding the flowers
perfectly upright, the hardest
wind cannot break them. All of
which makes this variety the best

scarlet varieties. 5 cts. each, 4o cts.
per doz., $2.75 per 100.
Pride of Haarlem. Rose, with blue
base; flowers of great size and fine
form. This is one of the oldest
varieties, but it still holds its
own as one of the leaders and
one of the most popular ones.
The size of the flowers has not
yet been exceeded, unless by a
few of the latest novelties. Most
flowers have more than six pet-
als, which gives them a semi-double form, It
will remain a standard variety as long as Dar-
wins are used. 5 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz.,
$2.75 per I0o.

did. Early forcer, and beautiful bedding vari-
ety. 10 cts. each, 85 cts. per doz., $6.50 per 100.
PSYCHE. Soft rose; enormous flower. This is
one of those Darwins, which is even more beautiful
when you look into the cup than when you look at
the outside of the flower. Take a bunch of these
enormous, long-stemmed flowers, hold them to the
light, and you will admire the exceedingly pleasing
shade of salmon-rose, with beautiful light blue veins
and feathers radiating from the blue spots at the
base of the petals. It is a great flower for bouquets
and is one of the earliest forcers. 10 cts. each, $1 per
doz., $6.50 per 100.

BODDINGTON’S
Hollandia Collection of
Single Late, Cottage,or May-
Flowering Tulips
The name of this class of Tulips has been derived from the fact
that many of them have been found in the gardens of country
houses and cottages in England and France. Planted in Holland
soil, they have multiplied rapidly, and by skillful hybridizing the
number of varieties has become very large, one surpassing the
other in size and beauty of color. All colors imaginary are to be
found among them, and, as they are all long-stemmed, they form an
excellent material for the cut-flower grower as well as for the land-
scape architect.
To popularize the growing of the Late, Cottage, or May-flowering
Tulips, we again offer the following collection of unique varieties
which are the cream of over one hundred, especially imported by
us for trial, and we consider
them the most perfect of this
lovely type both in form and
color. Some will attain a
height of nearly 4 feet in one
season, being borne on long,
stiff stems well above the fo-
liage, and once planted in the
border will increase and
bloom for years. A trial of
these lovely Tulips will con-
vince you of their merits.

SINGLE COTTAGE, or MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS
For Planting among Herbaceous Plants and Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc.
It is surprising that these grand Tulips have not been more largely planted. As an early display, they are magnificent in their beauty
and coloring, coming into flower, as they do, from May 16 to the first week in June, according to the season, and are most useful from a
decorative point of view, after the early-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following varieties, and their
height, after being well established, reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years, and fill
in the space until spring plants can be set out in beds. There are many more beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few
of the most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surround-
ings, should be without a selection of them, for they afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.
Gesneriana spathulata, or
major. This variety has long
been in cultivation. The beauti-
fully curved flowers are brilliant
scarlet, with a bluish black cen-
ter, on tall stems. 35 cts. each,
$1.75 per 100, $17 per 1,000.
Gesneriana macrospeila.Crim-
son-scarlet, black and yellow

per 100, $14 per 1,000.
Gesneriana lutea. Beautiful
yellow, tall and handsome. 5
cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.50
per 100, $23 per 1,000.
Gesneriana Ixioides. Beautiful
yellow, with black center. 10
cts. each, $1 per doz., $8 per
100.
Greigi. The beautifully formed
flowers are of large size and ofa
gorgeous orange-scarlet color, so
brilliant as to at once attract the
attention. The plant is quite
ornamental on account of its
broad, spotted foliage. 1oc. each,
$1 per doz., $8 per 100..
Isabella, or Shandon Bells.
The petals are a_ rose-color,
flushed .or= flaked with white
when they first open, and after
two or three days it changes to
a suffused deep rose and red
color. Remains longer in bloom
than many others, and stands
well when cut. 25 cts. per doz.,
$1.50 per 100, $14 per 1,000,
La Merveille. A magnificent va-
riety with very large sweet-
scented blossoms. Salmon-rose,
overlaid with orange-red. A

Rembrandt Tulips are simply queerly striped and feathered Dar-

more variety in the colors.

Breeders, Self-Colored
Breeders, formerly listed among the ordinary Cottage Tulips,
really form a distinct class by themselves.
Originally they were,
simply Bybloems or Bizarres without their stripes, and their dull, *
bronzy colors show their origin; but there is something peculiar
: about them that attracts the attention and cannot leave a lover of
flowers indifferent. When looking at acol-
lection of Breeders, he either does not care
for them in the least or becomes a warm
admirer. A peculiarity of Breeders, which
other late Tulips have, is their agreeable,
sweet scent, which can be noticed even at
a distance. The flowers have unusual last-
ing qualities.
To introduce these interesting Tulips we
offer the following exceptionally good va-

BODDINGTON’S BRILLIANT TULIPS
FOR BEDDING OR FORCING, FIRST-SIZE BULBS ONLY
There is one important difference between hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar treatment most hyacinths flower about the same
time, while Tulips come into bloom at successive periods. The divergence has frequently been the source of much disappointment, for, in
a bed (or even a vase or pot) planted with different Tulips, one variety may be overblown before the others show their colors. For brilliant
bedding effects, solid masses of color are to be preferred, especially for design bedding.
For cultural directions under glass, see hyacinths, page 9. The treatment to be followed is exactly the same. Tulips for bedding
should be planted about 6 inches apart and about 4 inches deep, reckoning from the tops of the bulbs.
The figures following the varieties indicate earliness in flowering, No. 1 being the earliest; No. 2 following; No. 3 being still a little
later, but coming into bloom before the No. 2’s are out. The height is indicated by “‘p” for dwarf, ‘“m”’ for medium, “Tr”? for tall.

NAMED DOUBLE TULIPS
ALL FIRST-SIZED BULBS ONLY
These are all very desirable for bedding or forcing. White, red
and yellow sorts for bedding of about the same height, planted in
lines of three or four rows of each color, form, with their large rose-
like flowers, beds of surpassing grandeur. Their flowers, being
double, are quite persistent, and, being also late in blooming, they
serve to prolong the season of gorgeous beauty in the spring flower-
garden or house.

HYACINTHS IN POTS.—It is important in the pot-culture of Hyacinths to have rich, light soil. If the bulbs are to be potted singly,
pots 5 inches in diameter are the proper size. Cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss,
which will keep the soil from clogging the drain-
age thus provided. Break off any offsets which
appear at the base of the bulbs, and, in potting,
place each bulb so that its top shall be half an
inch below the surface of the soil and an inch be-
low the rim of the pot. The soil should be of usual
natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately
firm. The filled pots may be placed in a coldframe
where there is protection from frost or in the coolest
part of the cellar, and well watered. An excellent
plan is to place them on a bed of moist sifted coal-
ashes, covering the pots to a depth of 6 inches with
the same material. When well rooted, which will be
in about ten weeks, the bulbs may be brought indoors
and forced. For the first two or three weeks they
should be kept in a temperature not exceeding 50..
degrees. Success in forcing depends much on their
having strong roots before being brought to the light.
The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are
started much in-advance they are unable to nourish
the plant, and failure results.
Hyacinths for early use may be potted in Sep-
tember or October. When desired for late use, it is
better to pot them in October and keep them in a
coldframe or cellar above freezing until it is desired
to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage
and fine flower-spikes, Hyacinths, when being forced,
should have plenty of manure-water and fresh air,
and should have as much light as possible. The
blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun after
they.show color.
HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.—The single varie-
ties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this
mode of culture. They produce finer flower-spikes
than the double. Fill the glass with clear soft water,
so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a
small piece of charcoal in each glass to keep the
water pure and afford some nourishment. The filled
glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark place,
and kept there until the roots almost touch the bot-
tom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradu-
ally to the light. If the water in the glasses becomes
foul or diminished, replace it with fresh water at
about the same temperature as the atmosphere in
which the bulbs are growing; otherwise it need not
be changed. When well started, the bulbs should
have plenty of light and air, without drafts, in order
that the best development and_brilliancy of color
may be obtained. Intending purchasers can rely
upon all bulbs of Hyacinths being thoroughly ripened,
fully up to specified size and ‘‘quality,’’ and true to { se se .

Boddington’s Extra-Selected ‘** Top- Root,’ or Exhibition Named Dutch Hyacinths
in a General Selection
The term ‘‘top-root”’ is a Holland phrase, and is used to distinguish the size of the Hyacinth bulb from the first size; in fact, they are
the largest bulbs selected after harvesting the crop, and are the “‘ pick of the market.’” These bulbs are excellent for exhibition purposes, to
grow singly in pots or Hyacinth glasses. Each Des ine

Boddington’s Superlative Named Bedding or Forcing Hyacinths
SOLD BY SOME SEEDSMEN FOR SECOND-SIZE
These are a superior grade of Bedding or Forcing Hyacinths, being large-sized, named bulbs of 17 centimeters and over. For size of
flower and general effect when massed in beds they are unsurpassed. These bulbs are offered to name and color. The same varieties as
the first- and second-sizes offered in this Catalogue.
Single Hyacinths produce finer spikes, and are altogether more reliable and showy in the open ground, than double varieties ; hence
the following list includes none but singles. For extensive conservatory or greenhouse decoration these Hyacinths will give great satisfac-
tion to those who do not wish to incur the expense which is unavoidable for a large selection of named varieties.

Boddington’s “Quality” Bedding Hyacinths to Color
Bedding Hyacinths should be planted about 8 inches apart each way—or, say twenty to the square yard—and 4 or 5 inches deep,
reckoning from the top of the bulb. The actual number requisite for a given area, however, must be determined in every instance by the
local conditions and the object in view; a large bed in the distance need not be so closely planted as a small bed in the immediate fore-
ground, and of course a smaller number will be necessary in either case if a groundwork such as Myosotis, Silene or Arabis be provided.
Hyacinths planted alternately with Narcissi produce a very striking effect, and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is a suitable
distance.
The following Hyacinths, although offered at very low prices, have all been imported by us from Holland this year and can be strongly
recommended for their high quality. They are specially adapted for groups in borders and shrubberies, where they will give a brilliant
display of very handsome flowers; but for beds, where simultaneous flowering and uniformity of shade are of importance, we recommend
the Superlative Hyacinths offered above.

Narcissi and Daffodils
Narcissi and Daffodils are among the earliest-flowering bulbs, and are alike use-
ful for cut-flowers and decorative purposes. The most useful for early forcing is the
well-known Paper White Narcissus, Grandiflora multiflora. They are pure white,
chaste and beautiful, and are borne on long stems, sometimes as many as fifteen to a
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. — Plant bulbs in shallow pans or boxes, about 2inches
apart, and store in cellar or shed till thoroughly rooted. Do not allow frost to reach
them. If wanted for Christmas, bring into the light about the second week in Novem-
ber, and after that successively (about a month to six weeks), and you will have
Narcissi in bloom till nearly Easter. They are among the most satisfactory of flowers
for winter adornment of the home. For general cultivation of Narcissi under glass,
see hyacinths, page 9. ss
Paper White Narcissi can also be grown in water with pebbles in shallow dishes
and bowls, the same as the Chinese Sacred Narcissus, or in our prepared fiber. See
page 25 for particulars of this interesting cultivation.

SINGLE TRUMPET NARCISSI
The commercial florists have been foremost to give the Narcissi or Daffodils the attention due them. They have learned how easily and
successfully these lovely flowers may be for unto bloom during winter, and how fascinating and 1< asting are the blossoms. They may be
planted in pots or bulb pans 6 inches or m in diame te r, several bulbs in each, according to size. Treat in the same manner as hyacinths.

BODDINGTON'’S
New Narcissus
Poetaz Hybrids
N. poeticus ornatus X N. polyanthus varieties
By crossing these two classes, Narcissus poeticus ornatus
being the seed parent, our growers have succeeded in obtaining
a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-flowered Narcissi. The indi-
vidual flowers have all more or less the Poeticus shape and size.
Besides being hardy, this class has the merit that they have not
inherited the strong, disagreeable scent of the Tazetta Narcissus.
They are equally valuable for bedding and forcing. A bed of
these Narcissi is simply covered by a dense mass of flowers.
They force extremely easy. This is an entirely new strain, and
has no similarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore.
The following we consider the best of this lovely type:
Alsace. into flower the eye is slightly edged reddish. Broad,
large flowers of true Poet form; one of the earliest. Has three
flowers on a stem. 5 cts. each, 50cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100,
$32.50 per 1,000.
Elvira Pure white, with yellow eye; large flower of a remark-
* ably good substance. Long-stemmed and a good
keeper; four flowers on a stem. Highly recommended. 5 cts.
each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25 per 1,000.
Ideal. Perianth white, with dark orange eye; large truss bear-
ing six to seven flowers; beautiful, striking color. 5
cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $4 per 100, $38 per 1,000.

Narcissus Jonquilla, or

All of the Jonquils are prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant
blossoms and the ease with which they may be grown. Half a
dozen bulbs may be put in a5-inch pot, and with the same treat-
ment as recommended for hyacinths (see page g), a fine display can
be had from January to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal
planting should be made outdoors. A clump of fifty or more bulbs
put here and there among shrubbery or interspersed in the hardy
border or naturalized in the grass, gives an indescribably rich effect
in the early spring, while a vase of cut blooms will fill a room with
their rich, spicy perfume. De7snerod 1,000

N ° ° d D ff dil FOR NATURALIZING,
arcissi an arroaiis BEDDING, ETC.
For producing brilliant masses of striking color in the mixed border, among shrubs, under trees, or for grouping in grass, the preced-
ing varieties of Nar-
cissi are unequaled,
while they especially
claim the attention
of amateurs for their
hardiness and ac-
commodating quali-
ties. Clumps should
be grown in odd cor-
ners to furnish flow-
ers for decorative
purposes. When cut
just as they begin to
expand, the flowers
develop their full
beauty in water as
perfectly, and retain
their brightness for
as long a period as
when allowed to re-
main on their own
plants. Pansies,
myosotis, scillas, and
other low-growing
plants and bulbs
make lovely com-
panions for these
popular Narcissi.

naturalizing, see

Lilies for Growing and Forcing under Glass in the
Greenhouse, Conservatory or Sunny Window
Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt, if intended for growing in pots or for forcing. The soil should be rich, the pot well
drained. The bulb should be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting, give a
thorough watering and set outside in a coldframe or shady situation; then cover with ashes or long straw. After they have stood from
three weeks to a month, bring into the house, allow plant to grow above pot 4 to 6 inches, then fill pot with soil to within 1 inch of top of
pot, and force gently. After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used.

and is perfectly. hardy, blooming in the open ground in June. The
many snow-white flowers, borne on a stem 3 to 4 feet high, make
this Lily most effective. This variety should be planted in the fall,
from the fact that it makes a winter growth. It is different in this
respect from any other variety. Very large bulbs, ready for de-

flowers are of long duration, and, being freely produced, are profit-
able for commercial purposes, and satisfactory to amateurs. If
planted early they may be had in bloom by Christmas. Plant eight
or ten bulbs in a 6-inch bulb-pan, covering them one inch. The
peculiar habit, its delicious perfume and great value for cutting,
have made it immensely popular.

They are excellent for decorative purposes and realize good prices, either wholesale
yr retail. Gladiolus are a good catch-crop and take up but little room. The follow-

GOLD MEDAL AMARYLLIS (Ker’s)
The most gorgeous and beautiful of all bulbous plants. The original species, Amaryllis aulicum, A. equestre, A. psittacinum, A.
Regina, etc., were first introduced to gardens more than a century ago. Very many of these species were cultivated and flowered for the
first time in Europe in the gardens of Liverpool merchants, whose ships brought them from the West Indian Islands and Brazil. The
first recorded hybrid was raised by a Prescot clockmaker named Johnson, and is still grown and bears his name, A. Johnsoni. Many beau-
tiful varieties figure largely in the garden of literature of the first half of this century, but these, from a decorative and florists’ point of
view, were all defective, having long tubular flowers much shaded and marked green in the center, and with narrow petals; so that, hay-
ing reached as near perfection as possible, their culture declined, until the advent, some twenty-five years ago, of two new species, Ama-
ryllis Leopoldii and A. pardina, from the valleys of the Peruvian Andes. These two varieties were so different from the existing sorts that
observing growers hybridized them with the very finest of the old varieties, and it speedily became apparent that they would prove of
great potency in the further improvement of these lovely plants.
This hope has been fulfilled to a large extent, and varieties richer and more varied in color, of fine form, large size and vigorous
growth, have been produced.
Formerly, a good Amaryllis bore two or three flowers on the scape, now it produces four to six, and very often two scapes from the
bulb; the diameter of the fiowers was 3 to 5 inches, nowit is 6 to 8, and even 1oinches. We continue their most careful culture, which year
by year adds new beauty and popularity to these already fine plants. :
The flowering season of the Amaryllis is during the months of February, March, April and May, although with a little forcing they
may easily be had in flower in December and January; and we know of no more showy or effective flower for the decoration cf the con-
servatory, during the six months mentioned.
Their cultivation is simple. After flowering, they should be placed ina warm house, if this is available, or the warmest part of the
greenhouse, and watered freely until the end of August, when water should be gradually withheld and the bulbs allowed to go to rest. By
the beginning of October, the pots may be laid on their sides under the greenhouse stage. If they are required to bloom in December or
January, they should be placed in a temperature of 60° to 65° about the middie of November ; but if not required so early they should be
started about the middle of January, when a temperature of 50° to 55° will suit them well. They should be watered very sparingly at first.
The best time to pot the bulbs is just before starting them, and a compost of two-thirds good loam, one-third leaf-mold, with a little sand,
will suit them admirably.
Owing to the increasing popularity of this better class of Amaryllis, we are encouraged to offer the following Gold Medal Collections,
imported directly from the great raiser, Ker; all strong bulbs that will flower the first year. Not less than one collection sold.

There is an ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely beautiful
flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an ordinary greenhouse with
a temperature ranging from 55 to 60 degrees, they produce annually
their handsome umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24
inches long. The best time for repotting is during August, using a
good sandy loam with a little leaf-mold and well-decayed cow manure;
encouraging a free foliage growth during winter, but care should be
exercised to reduce the watering as soon as foliage commences to turn
yellow, eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show signs of
new growth.

Amateurs Attention!
Something New
Growing Bulbs in Fiber
The Idea of Growing Bulbs in Fiber was a new one for this country, until we offered
it three years ago, but it has been practised successfully in England for many years
A most interesting method of growing bulbs is to place them in bowls, Hyacinth glasses
and jardiniéres filled with prepared fiber; far better results for home decoration may be ob-
tained in this way than by using ordinary potting soil.
For this system of culture no drainage is necessary, and the bowls which are specially
made for the purpose are not pierced with the usual holes for drainage. They are non-porous,
and may be placed on tables and columns, or they can be used in halls and corridors without
the slightest risk of injury.
The fiber is perfectly clean to handle, odorless, and remains sweet for an indefinite period.
Any receptacle may be used for the purpose provided it is non-porous, but the bulbs to be
planted in them should be suited to their size. Crocuses, Scillas, Snowdrops and Grape Hya-
cinths are available, also Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi. It is better not to mix different varie-
ties of bulbs in one bowl unless simultaneous flowering can be assured.
This specially prepared fiber we offer requires moistening only before use. Having selected
suitable receptacles for the bulbs to be grown, place a few pieces of charcoal (which we also
supply with the fiber) at the bottom of the bowl. Then cover the charcoal with moistened fiber
according to the depth of the bowl, placing the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to
within half inch of the rim. The spaces between and around the bulbs should be filled with
moistened fiber, carefully firmed in by hand. The bulbs will require practically no attention
for the first few weeks, and may be stood in a warm, airy position, but on no account must
they be shut up in a close cupboard.
If the fiber has been properly moistened, there will be no need to give water until the
shoots are an inch or so long, but great care must be taken not to allow the fiber to dry, other-
wise the flower buds become blind. The surface of the fiber should always look moist;
but, if too much water has been given, the bowl may be held carefully on its side so that
the surplus water may drain away. As the growth increases, more water will be required,
and as much light as possible, to insure sturdy foliage.
This fiber also answers admirably instead of water for Hyacinths grown in glasses,
but care should be taken to fill the glasses as lightly as possible with the compost; if
packed in tightly, root-growth is liable to push bulbs out of position.

CROCUSES
All lovers of a garden are familiar with the brilliant display which
can be obtained from Crocuses in the opening days of spring. The
planting may be in groups or lines of distinct color, but in every
instance a massive effect should be aimed at. It only fritters away
the bulbs to plant singly or in small numbers.

the United States. We recommend, however, a liberal mulching where left out during winter. The tubers may be lifted in autumn and
stored in the same manner as Dahlias and replanted in spring. The
foliage resembles that of the Acanthus, while the blossoms appear like

on the edges of shrubbery, where they are beautifully effective, and
when established produce enormous quantities of flowers.

We have this year made arrangements with an American

Peonies (Peonia Chinensis) for early delivery. The best time to
plant is from August to September, as this gives the roots a chance
to grow before frost sets in. .
Our collection has been selected with great care, covering all
desirable colors and to give a blooming season early till late, and if
planted early in the fall will bloom the first year. A list of varieties
will be furnished on application. (For other Peonies see our 1912

Winter-blooming Crocuses (Colchicum)
Autumn- and Winter-Blooming Crocuses
Exceedingly beautiful Crocus-like flowers flowering from September to November. Tkese are worthy of a place in every garden.
Bulbs are ready for delivery in August and must be planted immediately.
Are you not astonished to learn that there are hardy Crocuses which will bloom outdoors in the North between November and March
with no protection whatever? Most of them are from the Holy Land, and all should be planted as early as possible in the autumn. The
dates given below are the earliest they have been known to flower, but even if they do not bloom until March they are well worth while,
for they will usually be seen in bloom amid the snow. The bulbs should be extensively planted, and the risk of losing them can be greatly
lessened by planting them in the sunniest and most sheltered nooks.
We heartily recommend their use by the thousands on southern estates, especially winter homes in the Carolinas and Georgia, where they
will glorify the otherwise barren month of January. We believe, also, that they will succeed even in Canada, though blooming at the end
of winter. The time of bloom depends chiefly upon the openness of the winter. Winter flowers are certainly exciting, because of the un-
certainty about the time of bloom, and what can be more interesting than to find flowers outdoors in bloom in your own home grounds
right in the middle of winter! Several of these varieties are the very latest introductions.

‘)| JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kaempfem
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immedi-
ate and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though
a moist position is preferable.
DOUBLE JAPANESE IRIS
Crystal. Pale violet, slightly veined white.
General Kuroki. Pure white; very fine;

Hardy Perennial and Old-Fashioned Flowers
THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM SEED SOWN IN LATE SUMMER AND FALL
Cultural Directions.—Perennial seeds sown in the late summer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall,
according to the variety. The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes
or pans. Soil should be light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil.
When the plants have become large enough to handle, ‘prick out’? about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes
. or frames, and again, when large enough, set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants
should be lightly covered with leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thrifti-
ness and next season’s growth.

The herbaceous Calceolaria
is an easily cultivated plant.
So long as frost is excluded
from the plants in winter they
are perfectly safe, and to at-
tempt to hasten growth at any
time is a failure. July is the
best month for sowing the seed.
The great advance made in
the habit of the strains offered is remarkable, whilst in the colors
there is a marked improvement. Saved by England’s most famous
specialists. Monster flowers of rich and varied colors, including spot-
ted, laced, blotched and self-colored varieties. %pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1.
MIGNONETTE Greenhouse-Matured Seed

duces fine free-growing specimen plants for Christmas. Pkt. 50

beautiful, heavenly blue Forget-me-not flowers. The individual

MATCHLESS
CINERARIAS
In the culture of the Cinera-
ria the one mistake so often
made is that of sowing the
seed too soon. The plants
thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this
is not in any sense desirable.
By sowing in May and June,
plants large enough for all
decorative purposes can be
had. In after-treatment the
aim should be to secure as
hard a growth as possible.
Sturdy plants with leaves of
medium size are best.

most famous English strains, which can be recommended to those

Boddington’s Gigantic Cyclamen
38 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
BODDINGTON’S
GIGANTIC CYCLAMEN
The seed of Cyclamen is often sown too early in the year; from
the middle of August to the end of September is the best time. The
seedlings should be grown on to the flowering stage without any
check whatever. When grown cool, the results are most satisfac-
tory. Boddington’s Gigantic Cyclamen are unequaled for size and
quality of bloom. A magnificent strain of Cyclamen with flowers of
extraordinary size and substance.
Gigantic White Butterfly. Pure white; immense flowers.
Gigantic Snowflake. The largest of all white Cyclamen.
Gigantic Cherry-Red. Most brilliant and effective.
Gigantic Rose. Immense flowers of a pleasing shade of light rose.
~ Gigantic Pink. Exquisite shade of soft pink.
Gigantic Crimson. Most striking color; under artificial light appears to be
almost luminous.
Gigantic Crimson and White. A magnificent flower of the largest type.
Gigantic Syringa-Blue. A charming color.
Gigantic Lilac. A very pleasing color, lighting up well at night.

Seven Grand Novelty Cyclamen
It is not often that a Cyclamen is honored by the Award of
Mrs. Buckston. Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, but the excep-
tion in this case well merits the award. Cyclamen Mrs. Buckston is of a real sal-
mon shade, a lovely tint somewhat more delicate than found in our “Salmon
King,’’ and similar to the famous carnation, ‘‘Enchantress.’? The type which has beauti-
fully frilled petals must not be mistaken for
the Butterfly Cyclamen, over which it is a
great improvement. The flowers are immense,
larger than anything we have seen before,
but, in spite of the size, are most freely pro-
duced, and the plants also being
excellent growers, we have in
this lovely variety the last word
in Cyclamen, without which no
collection will be complete. Pkt.

SCHIZANTHUS
Grandiflorus Boddingtonii. 20¢0nston’s Select. Hybrids.
This strain is superior to any
of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much larger, better
shaped, and the colors show a wide range, including shades of yel-
low, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and purple, in
various markings, and combinations. In habit the plants are very
dwarf and bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. Schizan-
thus plants have become indispensable for greenhouse and conser-

generally recognized as one of the best and most beautiful of Stocks,
and I am raising from it a series of splendid new colors, the first of
which is my new variety, White Lady. This produces strikingly
large and very double flowers of a lustrous snowy white. About 20
inches high and arrayed in remarkably handsome foliage, the plants
throw up a massive central spike like that of a Tree Wallflower,
and assume the shape of pyramidal bouquets. White Lady blooms
early and remains long in flower; it will produce 60 to 65 per cent
of doubles, and certainly surpasses in beauty every White Stock
that has been obtained up to the present.’ Pkt. 35c., 3 pkts. $1.

POT-GROWN PLANTS PLAN? N THE FALL WILL GIVE A FULL CROP THE FOLLOWING SEASON
CuULTURE.—Strawberries requii \led soil; the plants should be set 15 inches apart, in rows 2 feet apart; 100 plants will
plant 4 rows, 30 feet long. Firm the p | in the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. In the middle of December
cover the beds to a depth of 3 inch meadow hay, straw or leaves. In April, as soon as the plants show an indication of growth,
push the covering away from the p »w them to come up through. This “‘mulching’”’ protects the plants from the cold in winter
and the heat in summer, keeps the in, and prevents the growth of weeds.
PERFECT AND PISTILLA Ss STRAWS ee The blossoms of Strawberries are either staminate (perfect-flowering) or
are destitute of stamens and a stillate (imperfect-flowering). Pistillate varieties must have a row of some perfect-flowering sort,
flowering at the same time, planted every 9 or 12 feet apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize
their blossoms. When properly pollenized, the pistillate varieties are usually the most prolific. Those marked with P are pistillate,

General List of Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants
August Luther. This variety is
very popular not only with berry-
growers, but also in the family
garden; it has a host of friends,
and succeeds everywhere. The
berries are of good size, firm and
lots of them. Extra early.
Beder Wood. Always on hand with
a big crop of most beautiful crimson

in windrows all around the plant.
Medium early.

conical, glossy crimson, firm and
solid; of fine aromatic flavor. Plant
vigorous and productive; succeeds
on any soil. Midseason to late.
Bubach. (P.) A very large berry

flavor. Largely grown for market.
Midseason.
Clyde. Very regular, bright scarlet
berries; large, and of excellent
flavor, firm, and a good shipper.
Plant remarkably healthy, vigorous
and productive. Season early.
Excelsior. Perfectly reliable, as its
tall, thick foliage protects the
bloom from danger of frosts; and
this is one good point for such an
extra-early variety.
Gandy. One of the very best later
varieties. It is a strong, compact
grower, with larger, bright, glossy
crimson fruit, very uniform in shape; flesh firm
and of the finest flavor.

flavor. Plant strong and healthy, very prolific,
and on good soil the berries are large to the end

ing midseason. Color dark scarlet, ‘chang-
ing to crimson when fully ripe; colors all

berry ever offered. It isa healthy, vigorous
grower, and of great productiveness. The
fruit is of mammoth size, beautiful in form
and color, and of excellent quality.
Oom Paul. One of the largest so far intro-
duced, and very firm for such a large berry.
The plant is thrifty and open-growing, with
glossy dark green foliage and will stand

uniform in shape, borne in large
clusters; flesh solid; color rich crim-

bearing Strawberry). This variety
is the finest in the Alpine class, and
will continue fruiting till way into
September. While the berries are

cts. per doz., $5 per 100.
Sample. (P.) Fruit large, round and
dark crimson in color, and of good qual-
ity. Late.

WHEN WE BUY, QUALITY IS OUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
OUR TERMS
a} ICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Five per cent allowed, to be
deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved credit, accounts
are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special prices and terms are
arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Fertilizers and Insecticides
are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
mt ORDER EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as
early as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. Also that you write your order and letter on
separate sheets of paper; this. will facilitate the filling of same, and will avoid errors. We aim to
ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible,
hence the importance of ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season advances,
however, some stocks ‘‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure. If, however, you give
us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will use our knowledge and ability
to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made subject to
change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We, however, carry very
large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction may always be expected.
_ ©.©O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied by a remittance
in part payment, to guarantee charges.
We do not prepay Express or Freight, except as follows—(Where this is practiced, the charge is added to the cost
of the goods). All Vegetable and Flower Seeds at the Packet or Ounce rate are mailed or expressed free at our option. If pints
and quarts of Peas, Beans and Corn or other vegetable and flower seeds are wanted, postage or express prepaid, please remit extra at
the rate of 8 cents per pint, 16 cents per quart, or 8 cents per pound,
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets, will now be
carried at the “GENERAL SPECIALS’ rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rates to
all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials’’ rate is in force, the companies make a
special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum
charge is 35 cents. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4 per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing
100 pounds, will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cents on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except
that three bulbs will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price, and 250 at 1,000 price; but it is
suggested, where these quantities are too large, that two or three
friends or neighbors could combine their orders with advantage,
and save transportation charges. When comparing

as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any pare the Quality, too
seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do we guarantee the success-
ful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or that the same will be free
from disease. If not accepted on these terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any
money that has been paid for same will be refunded. ARTHUR T. BoDDINGTON.

INTRODUCTIONS OF 1911 AND 1912 |
While every year we lool
upon the flower seed novelties placed upon the market with more or less skepticism, we must not
overlook the fact that all the really good things of today were novelties at one time, and were looked upon with as much, or perhaps |
more, suspicion than the novelties of today. There are many novelties offered this year from different sources, but it is our endeavor |
to select only those we kno 1ething about, have seen, or that are highly recommended from sources other than the disseminator. The |
descriptions are those of the introducers, You cannot afford to be without some of these really good introductions.

The Astermum
ASTERMUM. A splendid new type of the Hohenzollern Aster, of immense size, center very full. The following is the description
———sCéy the raiser, Albert A. Sawyer: “‘ The plant itself grows straight up with very strong, sturdy stems, starting near
base and reaching from 18 to 24 inches. The three colors are unsurpassed; the lavender has never been produced before, the pink is the
beautiful pink of the rose, and the white is as white as the driven snow. All these qualities of the Astermum are the result of painstaking
selection extending over a period of eight years. Each plant yields from ten to fifteen blooms, and their solidity is such that they make
good shippers.’’ Pink, pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1. Lavender, pkt, 35 cts., 3 pkts, for $1. White, pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1, Collection, one
packet of each color for $1, 3 collections for $2.50,

Beauty. HA. This
new race
much resembles the Os-
trich Plume Aster, which
has become so exceeding-
ly popular during the last
few years. It has all the
beauty of habit and flower
which the latter possesses,
and is a distinct acquisi-
tion. The flowers have
long, perfectly formed
petals and very small,
golden yellow centers, as
is shown in the accom-
panying illustration.
They are carried on long,
stiff stems from 12 to 20
inches in length. The
colors include beautiful
shades of pink, as well as
blue and pure white.
Southcote Beauty is of
great value as a border
plant, attaining a height
of 2 to 2% feet, and is
probably unrivaled by
any other Aster for cut-

into the shade every va-
riety previously pro-
duced, is superseded im-
mensely by this New

this splendid Snapdragon
will doubtless become the
pioneer of a new ‘‘Giant

Great Cyclamen,
Mrs. Buckston.
G.B. It does not often occur
that a Cyclamen is honored
by the Award of Merit from
the Royal Horticultural
Society, but the exception
in this case well merits the
award. Cyclamen Mrs.
Buckston is of a real sal-
mon-color, a lovely tint
somewhat more delicate
than found in our “Salmon
King,” and similar to the
famous carnation, ‘“ En-
chantress.” The type
which has beautifully frilled
petals must not be mistaken
for the Butterfly Cyclamen,
upon which it is a great im-
provement. The flowers
are immense, larger than
anything we have seen be-
fore, but, in spite of the
size, are most freely pro-
duced, and the plants also
being excellent growers, we
have in this lovely variety
the last word in Cyclamen,
without which no collection
will be complete. Pkt. 75

Ostrich Plume Celosia,
Pride of Castle Gould. u.a.
AWARDS: Large Silver Medal at
the National Flower Show, Chicago, Lll.,
1908; First-Class Certificate, New York
Florists’ Club, 1907; Special Diploma of
Merit at the Mineola Fair, 1907, and
numerous first premiums.
The Ostrich Plume Celosia, ‘‘ Pride
of Castle Gould,’’ is an entirely distinct
type of the Celosia pyramidalis plumosa,
and greatly surpasses anything thus far
placed on the market. This strain has,
through constant culture and careful selec-
tion and hybridization, proven its superior-
ity to anything similar ever offered. The
following strong points speak for them-
selves:
HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal,
compact growth of from 2 to 3 feet, with im-
mense, extra-fine, feathered heads, give
the plant a most striking and unique
appearance.
The flowers being of such bright and
intense color, and the plant of erect growth
and beautiful foliage, it creates the greatest
admiration wherever shown, and estab-
lishes a demand for itself that every plant-
lover must appreciate.
COLOR. The plumes are of many
beautiful _self-shades, including Blood-
Red, Carmine, Golden Yellow,
Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark Orange
and Wine-Red. When fully developed,
the tips of the plumes attain a lovely
golden tint, the combination being very
attractive and distinctive; however, by
variation there will be found many more
shades; the self-coloring will be surprising.
Calceolaria, Boddington’s
ATB
International Exhibition Strain
DECORATIVE VALUE. As a
pot-plant, with its quick-growing
habit, we believe there is no finer plant
known at the present time, wherefrom
in the course of six months a most ex-
cellent stock of salable plants in every
size can be obtained. As a bedding
plant, it cannot be equaled by any
other annual for its profusion of flow-

Dimorphotheca
aurantiaca hybrida.
H.A. These hybrids are similar
in habit and size of bloom to the
beautiful Dimorphotheca auran-
tiaca, but range in color from
pure white to blush-white with
salmon glow and orange-salmon
reverse, creamy white with lemon
reverse, blush with chrome and
brown reverse, lemon with deep
brown reverse, canary-yellow,
soft salmon and salmon-orange.
The flowers have mostly a cen-
tral zone of another color and
they mostiy have a dark center.
In conclusion we may state that
in our opinion they form the
most striking and _ prettiest
novelty sent out for several
years. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
Dimorphotheca aurantiaca. (range Daisy.) H.A. This
was the best annual
novelty of 1909, and gave great satisfaction wherever grown. It is
very easy of culture, and it must be considered an amateur’s favorite.
No one with a garden, no matter how small, should be without this
lovely, useful, rare and extremely showy annual from Namaqualand,
South Africa, which will soon become a great favorite in all countries
on account of its easy culture and beautifully colored flowers. The
plants, of very branching habit, grow about 12 to 15 inches high, and
are exceedingly profuse in flowering. Its Marguerite-like blossoms,
2% to 2% inches in diameter, show a unique glossy, rich orange-gold,
which brilliant coloring is rendered the more conspicuous by the
the dark-colored disc surrounded by a dark zone. This splendid
annual is well adapted for groups or borders; it produces its pretty
flowers very early after being planted out in the open ground in
sunny situations, and will continue to flower during the summer
months. A bed in full bloom is a magnificent sight. Pkt. 10 cts., 3
pkts. for 25 cts., 1-16 oz. $1.
Dimorphotheca sinuata, (Dinter.) HA Equally use-
ful and of the same cultureas,
the Dimorphotheca aurantiaca hybrida introduced by us last sea-
son, this new South African species distinguishes itself essentially
by the singularly pretty color of its flowers. They are 2% to 2%
inches across,and show a uniform, clear satiny buff or light chamois,
with a bluish disk when fully open in sunshine; the reverse of the
petals is purplish red. This rare coloring is quite distinct and new
and cannot be found amongst the many beautiful tints in yellow and
salmon-yellow of our Dimorphotheca aurantiaca hybrida. The
plants are 12 to 15 inches high, and form regularly branched bushes,
densely covered with numerous flowers. Foliage light green,
obtuse, sinuate. Novelty of great merit. Pkt.50cts., 3 pkts. for $1.25.
Freesia hybrida nova. H-B. These new hybrids are the
—— scresult of crossing the Freesia ve-
Jracta alba with Freesia Armstrongi, Ragionieri, Tubergenii,
Amethyst, and others. These hybrids contain pink, red, lilac, violet,
yellow and orange. The plants will flower from seed about eight
months from time of sowing. Asa novelty, these will have a great
future, and no doubt the raising of these hybrids will be very inter-
esting. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1.
Helianthus cucumerifolius purpureus.
Sunflower.”? This variety is not an Echinacea or Rudbeckia, but a
Helianthus. The flowers of this novelty vary from light pink to
deepest purple. The form of the flower is the same as the variety
Cucumerifolius. This cannot be recommended too highly for cut-
ting. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
Lupinus annuus, (Annual Lupins.) H.A. The popularity
of Annual Lupins is responsible for the
introduction of the following six new shades, which should be grown
in every up-to-date garden:

— Sébly pretty Petunia,
raised by Mr. E. J. Norman, gardener for Mrs. George Westinghouse.
The color is deep rose-pink—flowers as large again as our Bar Harbor
Beauty, and slightly frilled; an excellent variety for bedding or for
borders, and if seed-pods are removed will bloom the whole sum-

Pyrethrum, Comet-
flowered (P. roseum hy-
——<———— bridum grandi-
florum.) H.H.P. A selection of
the useful and extremely free-
blooming perennial Pyrethrums.
The flowers are large—2to 3 inches
across—either single or semi-
double, and of the most bizarre
form, the petals being rolled,
twisted, or sometimes tangled to-
gether. A similar range of color
will be found in these fine Comet-
flowered Pyrethrums as among
the ordinary type, i.e., from pure
white through flesh-color and rose
to brilliant carmine and blood-red.
They will certainly furnish excel-
lent material for cutting. Pkt. 25
cts., 5 pkts. for $1.

Solanum Capsicastrum Melvini, (New Solanum.)
Brilliant scarlet,
conical-shaped berries. Awarded a First-Class Certificate by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, also by The Boston Garden-
ers’ and Florists’ Club. A very bushy, compact plant, 12 to 15
inches high, covered with brilliant scarlet, conical-shaped berries
about %1nch in diameter, each berry standing well above the dense,
dark foliage, making it one of the best winter decorative plants ever
introduced, and a money-maker for the florist at Christmas, Seed
sown in January or February will produce fine specimen plants full
of fruit for the holidays. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1.
Tritoma hybrida mirabilis. 4 "ew strain of dwarf-
growing Tritomas, or
Kniphofias, obtained by artificial hybridizing. Its great merit as a
novelty consists in producing flowers in abundance the first year
from being sown, so that this new class may justly be called ‘“‘an-
nual” Tritomas. If sown in temperate heat from January to Febru-
ary, pricked off and treated like half-hardy annuals or like Pentste-
mon Hartwegii, the seedlings may be planted in the open ground
from the end of April to May, and they will bloom freely and con-
stantly from July until late in the autumn. The flower-stems, 2 to 3
SEEDS 7
feet high, rising above the graceful, grass-like foliage, produce neat,
slender spikes 4% to 6 inches in length, thickly set with tubular
flowers, which range in color from light citron+yellow to golden yellow
and from light red to orange-scarlet, including remarkably pretty
tints. The long-stemmed flower-spikes, of which two and more are
developed on the same shoot, may be used for any decorative pur-
pose. A group of this new strain of Torch Lilies or Rechot Poker
Plants in full bloom presents a beautiful aspect. To be recom-
mended as quite new and a real acquisition. Pkt. 35c.,3 pkts. for $1.

Sweet Pea Novelties, 1913
Owing to the exceptional weather in California and Europe the past season, a great many Novelty Sweet Peas which were intended to
have been sent out this year are being withheld, from the fact that it has been impossible to secure enough stock to put them on the
market.
However, we have been able to secure small stocks of the following varieties which we can thoroughly recommend.
All have
been thoroughly tried and are “‘set.’” The descriptions are those of the raisers. 3
In our endeavor to keep up-to-date in Sweet Pea Novelties, we have eliminated those which we do not consider to supersede existing
varieties.
Charm ( Burpee. ) “As the
——_ name. _ implies, this
lovely novelty for 1913 is indeed a
‘charming’ variety of delicate and
exquisite color, such as we have
every confidence in introducing to
our friends. It was awarded a Cer-
tificate of Merit by the American
Sweet Pea Society in 1911, under
the name of ‘Fordhook Fairy,’ but
to avoid confusing it with our
unique Primrose novelty for 1914,
‘Floradale Fairy,’ we have changed
the name to ‘Charm.’ The flowers
are all of good size and most of the
strong, stiff stems bear four flowers
each. Of the finest Spencer type,
they are throughout a glistening,
pure snow-white, suffused equally
through standard and wings with
delicate flesh-, or blush-pink. It
comes very true and is a most beau-
tiful variety for bunching.” Pkt. of

ing. The color is quite distinct from
anything yet seen in Sweet Peas,
and will take a leading place for ex-
hibition. The color is a pleasing
shade of blush, suffused rosy lilac.

A
The raising of plants from seed tural mode of reproduction; it is from the seed that the most healthy and vigorous
plants are produced.
To obtain good results, secure qt y seeds; also a certain amount of care in the sowing and treatment must be taken; this may
be summed up in the following four points:
First.—That the seeds have been perfectly ripened.
Second.—That they have been properly kept
until the period of sowing.
Third.—That they be sown at the proper time.
Fourth.—That the sowing be performed in the
proper manner.
Many of the flower seeds used in the garden are
started in the greenhouse or sunny window during
the winter and early spring months.
Seed-pans or shallow flats should be used. These
receptacles should have plenty of drainage, con-
sisting of potsherds or any rough, open material.
The soil should be an even mixture of sand, leaf soil
and loam, finely sifted; before sowing, this should
be firmly and evenly pressed. If the soil is dry,
it should be watered and rendered somewhat moist
a few hours before sowing.
The main consideration which will enable any
one to determine the depth at which the seeds
should be sown must always be this,—that the soil
is the medium which, in the first place, is to keep
the seeds sufficiently moist for germination; secondly,
and only in those cases in which the seedlings will
continue their development on the spot where they
have germinated, the soil must be looked upon as
essential for the fixing of the plant. In practice,
where the seedlings are transplanted when very
young, the covering of the seeds with soil is not
essential if we only keep the seed-pans covered with
a piece of glass, or even paper, in order to prevent
a too-rapid evaporation of the moisture.
In the sowing of very small seeds, e.g., calceolarias,,
gloxinias, begonias, etc., no covering of soil should!
salvia, cyclamen, etc., may be covered with fine
soil to a depth of twice the diameter of the seeds..
and very great care must be taken in the watering,,
especially of the finer seeds.
A Vase of Astermums water, and allow the water to rise naturally.
The three main essentials which all plant life
requires—and this relates to seedlings as well as mature plants—are moisture, heat and air.
he seed-beds should just be kept moist—they should never be allowed to become sodden. A safe guide for temperature is that:
for proper germination the temperature should bea little higher than the mature plant requires for proper development.
The seeds of most Hardy Perennials may be sown at any time from January to October. Early sowing should be made indoors
in boxes in the same manner as described above, or they may be sown out-of-doors in spring after the frost has gone, and trans-
planted into their flowering position in early autumn or the following spring. There is not room in this article for the treatment of
the young seedlings, but, as they appear, more air and light should be gradually given or the seedlings will be weak and drawn.
There are many seeds of flowers which may be sown out in the open ground, such as alyssum, candytuft, calliopsis, nasturtium,
sweet peas, etc. These should be sown after all danger of frost is past, and care should be taken that the soil is in the right condition
as to moisture, etc. It is very poor practice to sow when the ground is too wet.
The soil should be finely prepared by forking over and raking the surface evenly. The seeds should be sown in drills, the depth
of the drills te be governed by the variety of seed to be sown. It is different in the case of sowing seeds in the open from sowing
under glass; as, outside, the dry winds or hot spring weather may easily cause a temporary or fatal stoppage of growth. These evils
must be overcome by covering the seeds with sufficient soil to prevent their drying out, yet they must not be sown so deep as to
cut off the supply of air. A good rule to follow as to the depth that seeds sown outdoors should be, is to cover with a layer equal to,
four times their diameter. In the case of small seeds, a light shading should be given with branches or cheese-cloth.
be put on the seeds at all. Larger seeds, such as;
After sowing, great care must be taken that the.
seed-beds should never be allowed to become dry,,
The best way to moisten the seed-pans containing:
the fine seeds is by dipping the pans in a pail of

Boddington’s Quality Antirrhinums
H.H.P.
Antirrhinums, or Snapdragons, are among the most showy of
flowers for summer cutting, and for winter cutting, under glass, are
becoming very popular. If sown under glass during February or
March they will commence to bloom in July, and will so continue
till frost. The tall or giant varieties are extremely useful for cutting,
while the dwarf kinds are exceptionally adapted for borders and
edging of beds of annuals or other plants. Also now grown exten-
sively under glass for winter-flowering.
Boddington’s Giant Double White
Antirrhinum 4.4.P.
A new departure in the class of tall, large-flowering Snapdragons
is offered. Out of the mouth-like aperture in the flowers, between
the upper and lower lips, emerge abnormal fantastic petals, which
give a double and beard-like aspect to the very large bloom. In
sixty to seventy per cent of the seedlings this phenomenon is more
or less in evidence, the remainder producing perfect flowers of extra
size, such as are otherwise seen only in the Queens Victoria and
other Grandiflorum varieties. A striking effect is produced by the
long spikes covered with these beautiful white flowers when used
for bedding, and they will be of great value as cut-flowers for vases.

known Daybreak and Purity, and are bou
lovers of this beautiful class of Asters.

Aster, America (Imp. Pink Daybreak). rcinist eenwen
producing flowers of the largest size on very strong, stiff stems. In
color it is somewhat darker tian Daybreak, quite resembling the
shade known as old rose. The flowers are of great substance and
very lasting after being cut, more
so than most other varieties. A
valuable feature is its lateness of bloom, being fully two weeks later
than Daybreak. Its flowers are in perfection with the late-branch-
ing varieties. Pkt. 15 cts., 4% OZ. $2.

riety we have a splendid addition to the Daybreak class. The-color
is not only novel, but of a very pleasing shade, bright enough to
make it always conspicuous, although modest and unassuming in
appearance. The habit of growth, form of plant and flower are
identical with those of its parent, Daybreak. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 for 25

Aster, Lemon Drop (Yellow Daybreak). (231° yel-
low Aster at last. It is a decided yellow, and as good a grower as
any of the other varieties of the Daybreak class. The flowers are
not quite so large as those of Purity, its parent, but are more per-
fect and symmetrical in form; in fact the petals are laid so perfectly
that the flowers have a wax-like appearance. We consider ourselves
very fortunate to be able to offer a good yellow Aster. Pkt. 15 cts.,

earliness will certainly become equally, and we predict, more popu-

and the habit of the plant and form of flowers are identical, being of
the same strong, robust growth and branching habit. Its greatest
value is in its earliness, blooming as it does ten days earlier than

large, early blooms. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts., Yoz. $1.

H.A. A chrysanthemum-flowered
Aster, Lady Roosevelt. Aster of the Burbank strain. The
flowers resemble the incurving chrysanthemum; the color is a gor-
geous pink, of marvelous beauty. The mammoth growth of plant
insures extra-long stems; 20 to 30 inches long is very ordinary for
Aster Lady Roosevelt, and the flowers are very large. Pkt. 15 cts.,
2 pkts. for 25 cts., %oz. $1.

first time, and we are pleased to say that the results exceeded our

pyramidal habit, the plants branch a few inches over the ground
and throw out 15 to 20 strong side shoots. The petals, nearly two
inches long, are characterized by being slightly bent or twisted
near the tip, and thus lend to the flower a kind of Cactus-like as-
pect. The first color obtained up to date is a brilliant rosy carmine,
a most lovely and effective shade. The Cactus Aster blooms
remarkably early and will be of great value for cutting purposes.

Boddington’s Matchless Cinerarias
In the culture of the Cineraria the one mistake so often made is that
of sowing the seed too soon. The plants thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this is not in any sense desirable. By sow-
ing in May and June, plants large enough for all decorative purposes
can be had. In after-treatment the aim should be to secure as hard a
growth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are best.

Boddington’s Gigantic Cyclamen
The seed of Cyclamen is often sown too early in the year; from
the middle of August to the end of September is the best time. The
seedlings should be grown on to the flower-

grown cool, the results are most satisfactory.

BODDINGTON'S POT MYOSOTIS
Forget-me-nots are delightful subjects for flowering indoors at
Christmas time, and as they are everywhere welcome the practice of
growing plants in pots is rapidly increasing. Sown in July and
potted on, the strain we offer produces fine free-growing specimen
plants for Christmas. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. for $1.25.
MYOSOTIS, RUTH FISCHER
This is indeed a grand novelty. Compact bushes, 12 inches in
diameter, and literally covered with sprays of beautiful, heavenly
blue Forget-me-not flowers. The individual spray is composed of
(Forget-me-not)
from six to ten blooms, which are giants compared to the well-
known flower. For edging in borders, or for a pot plant, no finer
blue flower has been in existence. This variety is absolutely hardy,
and, with little protection, will survive the most severe winters.

Matchless Giant Primulas
PRIMULA SINENSIS
Our Pr imala Sinensis seed has been specially grown for us
by the most celebrated English Primula specialist. The flowers
are remarkable, not only for size, beauty and brilliancy of the
colors, but for the great substance of the petals. Considerable
care is necessary in order to secure the successful germination
of the seed of the choice kinds of P. Simensis. The most suit-
able periods for sowing are January to May for autumn, and
June to August for spring blooming. Shallow pans, well
drained, are the best, the soil consisting of sandy loam and
leaf-mold, worked through a fine sieve ; the pans when thus pre-
pared, should be well watered before the seed is sown. Only a
slight covering of soil or sand is needed. What has most to be
guarded against is drought; the soil should be kept in as equa-
ble degree of moisture as possible, never -
being on the dry side. We attribute more
failures to this cause than to any other.
Just at the time when the seed commences
to germinate the least departure from this
is fatal.

The following varieties are vast improvements on the oldtype

plants for winter and early spring flowering, the seed should
be sown in warmth the previous April or May, and wintered in
a cool greenhouse or frame.

PRIMULAS uarpy AND HALF-HARDY
Primula Kewensis (Giant Buttercup.) This plant is a
strong grower,
with bright green leaves and numerous erect flower-scapes 10 to 18
inches in height, producing flowers in whorls at intervals along their
whole length. The flowers are fragrant, bright yellow in color, with
a slender tube and spreading limb nearly an inch in diameter. Asa
winter-flowering decorative plant it is an acquisition; very florifer-
ous when in a small state. Y%pkt. 60 cts., pkt. $1.
Primula Kewensis, var. Farinosa (Veitch). 4 mane
SS ——. selec-
tion obtained from the beautiful Primula Kewensis. The stems
and foliage, being elegantly covered with a silvery white powder,
make it a most charming and effective variety. The plant is of the
same strong growth and habit as the type, with numerous fragrant
bright yellow flowers. Pkt. 75 cts.
In habit and foliage it resembles P.
Japonica, but differs in having
larger and more richly colored flowers, and in having the flower
stems and calyces thickly coated with a white farina or meal. From
a horticultural standpoint this peculiarity renders the plant remark-
ably distinct, and also serves to emphasize the deep purple-maroon
color of the flowers. Pkt. 75 cts
Primula pulverulenta.
Primula Veitchii. A fine species introduced from Western
China, where it occurs at elevations of from
8,000 to 10,000 feet, on cliffs and dry banks, approaching the well-
known Primula cortusoides in foliage and habit, but a finer and
more robust species. The leaves have a dark green, slightly pubes-
cent upper surface, the under surface being covered with a dense
white tomentum. The flowers produced in an umbel of to to 20
blooms, terminating a scape some 12 to 14 inches high, are about an
inch in diameter, of deep rose-color with an orange ring surround-
ing the yellow mouth of the tube. Hardy perennial. Pkt. 75 cts.

growing plants are extremely free-flowering. If sown early
under glass, the plants, which grow to a height of 18 inches,
begin to bloom in early July. On account of the very compact
and regularly formed plants, it produces an unusual number
of flower-stems, on which you will always find from three to
five open flowers. The plants are so much more compact and
dwarf than the type that the flower-stems are considerably
longer and freer, surmounting luxuriant dark green foliage. On
account of the rare color, namely, navy blue, this novelty, no
doubt, is extremely desirable and should be one of the best fall

Schizanthus Grandiflorus
Boddingtonii
BODDINGTON'S SELECT HYBRIDS
This strain is superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultivation; the flowers are much larger, better shaped, and the colors
show a wide range, including shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimson, mauve and purple, in various markings,
and combinations. In habit, the plants are very dwarf and_ bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. Schizanthus plants
have become indispensable for greenhouse and conservatory decoration, and as a pot-plant for decoration they are unequaled.

W. H. WAITE IN “HORTICULTURE”
The Schizanthus grandifiorus Boddingtonii, when well grown, is one of the most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. As a con-
servatory plant it is unequaled, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest
things that can be used. The past season we have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of very easy
culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-bound,
but should always be kept on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in.
The finest variety that I have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single
spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and the introducer,
Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all
that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.

SWEET PEAS
We are headquarters for all the latest and most up-to-date varieties of Sweet Peas, and make a specialty of this grand annual. Our
collection has been thoroughly revised, synonyms and out-of-date varieties have been eliminated, wherever practical, and only those of
real merit retained. When you stop to consider that there are over six hundred named varieties, you will doubtless miss some old favorite
that you have known. No doubt we could procure you this variety ; we could certainly send a variety equally good.
The demand for the Spencer types almost exceeds that of the Unwin and Grandiflora types combined, and, if you wish a Fine Prize-
winning Collection, it is essential that you should favor this form of Sweet Peas. The flowers are larger than those of the ordinary
type, and bear, for the most part, four orchid-like flowers, that are fluted and ruffled, on a stem.
If collections are wanted for exhibition purposes, we shall be glad to make suggestions.

A Few Hints on the Successful Growing of Sweet Peas
BY AN EXPERT
Buy your seeds early and sow early. : :
Never sow seed of Sweet Peas on the same land in successive years. If your garden is small and you find this necessary, the soil should
be removed and filled in afresh following the instructions given below. ‘ ’
The soil for Sweet Peas should be rich and deep and prepared early (preferably in the fall of the year) if this can be done; good
slaked lime and wood ashes should be thoroughly dug into the ground.
A good rich turfy loam is the ideal soil for growing Sweet Peas, thoroughly enriched with good rotted — ..0= >
manure or bone meal, and dug in as deeply as possible. : es
If your soil is not of the above consistency, dig a trench two feet deep and two feet wide and fill with
good rich turfy loam that has been thoroughly mixed with rotted manure or bone meal, in proportion of three-
ourths soil to one-fourth fertilizer, according to the condition of the Soil. eB
Do not sow your Sweet Peas thickly or too thinly (one ounce of Sweet Peas to five feet is a fair
average). If the Peas should grow too thickly, thin out to about two inches apart, but not neces-
sarily in a single row, rather alternately, viz. »-* «*%.e*%.
Seed of the black-seeded varieties can be sown
as soon as the frost is out of the ground, provided
it is not too wet, the white seedsel earisges should
not be sown until the ground is warm and dry.
Before sowing, pulverize your soil in the trench
about three inches deep. Sow seeds, in a double
row about ten inches apart, about two inches below
the surface and tread down firmly.
For training the vines, use either “brush”
(that is branches of birch or other light material)
or large mesh wire netting held by posts, the brush
or the netting should run about five feet above the
ground.
It is as well to stake, brush or erect
your wire netting before the seedlings get
too tall, better perhaps when seed is
sown.
Dry and hot weather affect Sweet Peas
very quickly. They should be watered
very frequently and thoroughly, and the
application of liquid manure given once a
week. A good heavy mulch of long straw
manure covering the ground around the
Sweet Peas should be applied as soon as
warm weather sets in. This prevents the ground
from drying out and keeps the soil cool.
The flowers should be cut as often as possible
and all seed pods removed as soon as they appear.
By attending to this properly, it greatly lengthens
the life of the vine and the flowering season.
A partial shade during the hottest parts of the
day is very essential to secure the
best color in the blooms, it also
protects the vines from the strong
rays of the sun. If possible to
protect the lower growth of the
Peas, this should be done also.
If Sweet Peas should be at-
tacked by the green, black or
white fly, they should be thor-
oughly sprayed ,with one of the
several Nicotine preparations that
are offered on page 142.
The greatest enemy of young
Sweet Peas is the cut-worm, and they
are so destructive as to prevent some
people from having a good stand of
Sweet Peas at any time. They usually
take the young shoots as soon as they
appear, and while some plants will send out
new shoots and grow again after being cut off,
most of them are cut too far down and are ruined.
A sprinkling of slaked lime over the row or watering
with lime water helps to keep out the cut-worms.
A handful of grass dipped in a solution of Paris
em will sometimes attract the worms, the poison
illing them.
FARMOGERM, which we offer among the
fertilizers on page 142, is an excellent agent for the
successful growing of Sweet Peas, if the instruc-
tions for the use of this article are carefully fol-
lowed.
One of the most necessary things in the culti-
vation of Sweet Peas is the proper feeding of the
plants, when they are in full growth a change of
“food” is particularly essential. When they start
into bloom a good application of Scotch soot, ap-
plied in liquid form, improves the color of flower 3 =
and foliage to a remarkable degree. Aurora Spencer. (For description see page 54)

Hybrids, 1911 an ecent Introductions
The Spencer varieties of Sweet Peas fast superseding the Grandiflora types of the same variety and color, and are indispensable
in a collection whether for exhibition or decorative purposes. The following list is the.cream of the beautiful creations of the hybridizer’s
art, and can be relied upon to come true to type and description. A few varieties are not yet quite fixed; but, in the main, disappointments
and complaints are few. We still catalogue a very fine list of the Grandiflora types which are highly recommended, also the winter-flower-
ing varieties, which, if sown outside, will flower about two weeks earlier than the Spencers or Grandifloras, thus prolonging the season for
show or cutting. If you should miss any old favorite from our list, let us know what it is and we will either procure it for you or send a
variety equally good that has superseded it.

most exclusive Spencer perfec-
tion. The ground-color is a soft,
pleasing primrose, or straw-color,
overlaid with dainty flakes and
splashes of blush-crimson. The
crimsan is not at all pronounced
and simply gives some warmth
and golden tinting to the
yellowish groundwork. It

PRINCE EDWARD OF YORK SPENCER.
Bold, rosy sal-
mon, some say salmon-carmine, standard, with rosy wings, a
charming combination of color; usually three, sometimes four,
flowers on a stem. Some growers say it loses color when cut, but
this is obviated by adding a little sulphur of iron to the water.

QUEEN VICTORIA SPENCER. (Burpee, 1909.) The flowers
are extremely large, of the true waved Spencer type, and have a
most pleasing color effect. The background is quite a deep prim-
rose, flushed with rose. The flowers are all of good substance,
borne three and fourto the stem; there are proportionately more
sprays of four flowers than with any other Spencer grown by us.
The strong, dark green stems carry well the gigantic flowers. Lb.

heliotrope. Senator Spencer is of the true Spencer form, wavy
edges on both standard and wings; large, round, fluffy standard,
long, drooping wings. Both standard and wings are marked with

shading in wings. There are usually four good, large, finely
formed flowers on each stem. Lb. $5, 41b. $1.50, oz. 50c., pkt. 15c.
STERLING STENT. (Agate, 1909.) This is a true Henry Eck-
ford Spencer, and received the highest award for a Novelty Sweet
Pea at the annual exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of ©
England, namely, the silver medal. The color, as in the variety
Henry Eckford, is the nearest approach to orange we have in

able to secure only a few packets of this grand variety, and offer
them as follows: Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25.

rather more pronounced. The vigorous vines flower most freely ;
the stems are long and carry well three or four fine flowers. Both

The Prize- Winning Quartette of Sweet Peas
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING FOR A BUNCH OF SWEET PEAS
(From THE FLORISTS’ EXCHANGE)
The Sweet Pea show organized by the London Daily Mail was held at the Crystal Palace, London, today, July 28. The first prize of
41,000 ($4,866.66) was awarded to Mrs. J. H. Fraser, The Manse, Sprouston, Kelso, N. B.; the second prize of £100 ($486.66) to H. W.
Richards of Ryde, Isle of Wight; and the third prize of £50 ($243.43) to Rev. J. H. Fraser, of the same address as (and presumably the
husband of) the fortunate winner of the champion prize.
The varieties in Mrs. Fraser’s exhibit were: Paradise Carmine (Hemus), carmine waved; Constance Oliver (Lumley), delicate pink,
suffused with cream, waved; Arthur Unwin (Unwin), rose, shaded with cream, waved; Tom Bolton (Bolton), dark maroon, waved. They
won because they were the best grown, best in size, color and condition, and because they carried four flowers on each stem. The second
and third prize exhibits ran the winner a very close race.
The 38,000 bunches sent in, of which only about 10,000 appeared on the exhibition tables, came from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Guernsey and Jersey, but the southern section of the British Isles, sweltering in an unparalleled drought and heat wave, had practically,
no chance against Scotland, where cooler and moister conditions have prevailed.
PARADISE CARMINE, ARTHUR UNWIN, TOM BOLTON, CONSTANCE OLIVER
We beg to state, we have secured some very exclusive stocks of these four varieties, described and illustrated above, and make the fol-
lowing special offer of The Prize-Winning Quartette, Paradise Carmine, Constance Oliver, Arthur Unwin, Tom Bolton.

Boddington’s Auricula-eyed Sweet Williams
Sweet William, “‘Scarlet Beauty”
H.B.
This is an excellent variety of this popular flower. Color in-
tensely deep, rich scarlet, almost identical in color with the
Euphorbia splendens. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
Sweet William, ‘‘Newport Pink’’ HB.
A distinct new color in this favorite hardy plant. In color it
is what florists call watermelon-pink er salmon-rose. Strikingly
beautiful; the habit of the plant is perfect, being well formed,
neat and compact, the flowers borne in massive heads on stems
18 inches high. For midseason mass bedding it has no equal.
It is also very effective as a pot-plant and for cutting. Perfectly
hardy in any part of the country. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
Sweet William, Double Rose HB.
(Dianthus barbatus rosea fl. pl.)
Large umbels of handsome, rose-colored flowers distinguish
this new Sweet William from other already known varieties.
Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.
Boddington’s Pink Beauty
Very distinct, delicate pink flowers. A beautiful variety.
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. $2
Sutton's Scarlet
A still more remarkable color than our Pink Beauty, from
which this variety has been selected. The flowers are of an in-
tense scarlet, similar to that of Grenadin Carnation. A bed in
the distance produces a vivid effect. Seed scarce. Pkt. 50 cts.
Collection, 1 packet each of the above 6 varieties, $1
Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) HB. 1} ft.
A well-known, attractive, free-flowering hardy perennial, producing
a splendid effect in beds and borders with their rich and varied flowers.
It is much better to raise new, vigorous young plants from seed every
season than to divide the old plants, as the flowers on the old plants
are apt to be smaller and more scattered.
Boddington’s Auricula-eyed. A remarkable strain of the popular
Sweet William with a distinct zone or eye. A great favorite with
all lovers of this well-known plant. Pita Oe.

25 cts., 4oz. $1.
Sweet William, Everblooming Hybrid
(Dianthus latifolius)
These hybrids are the result of a cross between the annual China
Pinks and Sweet Williams, retaining most of the characteristics of the
latter. They form compact, bushy plants, with fine heads of double
flowers, and flower almost as quickly from seeds as the China Pinks.

Viola (Scotch, or Tufted Pansies)
The Scotch Violas, or Tufted Pansies, have of late years been
greatly appreciated. There are a great number of varieties, varying
in color from pale lavender to deep rich purple, with many charming
intermediate shades. They are very free-flowering, and cannot be
surpassed for bedding purposes; in light, rich soil and a moist situa-
| tion they will continue to bloom from spring till late in the autumn.
They are also useful for ribbon borders, where they make a fine dis-
| play. We have been repeatedly asked for seed of these most beauti-
ful Violas, so offer the following, which we consider the finest for
all purposes. Pkt.) .@2

The perennial varieties, many of which have beautifully variegated
foliage, are valuable for borders and clumps on lawns or among
shrubs. The annual sorts are chiefly grown for their elegant flower
panicles, which are useful in bouquet work and for dried flowers.
They should be cut before being fully expanded. Pkt.

Cultural Directions for Perennial Seeds
’ Perennial seed sown in the late summer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall, according to the variety.
The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes or pams. Soil should be
light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil. When the plants have
become large enough to handle,** prick out’’ about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes or frames, and again
when large enough; set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants should be lightly cov-
ered — leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thriftiness and next season’s
growth.
A FEW POINTERS ON THE GROWING OF ANNUAL ASTERS
It is best to never plant in the same location the second season. Give plenty of room, rows 2% or 3 feet apart, and from 12 to 15 inches
apart in the rows; the distance to be regulated by the growth of the variety planted.
Pulverized sheep manure, wood-ashes and phosphate are the best fertilizers. If stable manure is used, let it be well decomposed.
In order to secure plants of good size for April and May, the seed should be sown in early March. For the grower’s own use as a cut-
flower, the seed may be sown from the first week in March until the end of April, beginning with the Early Queen of the Market, following
with the mid-season varieties and ending with the late branching varieties. There is nothing to be gained by sowing aster seed too
early, as seed sown in January will not bloom a day earlier than seed sown in March or April, nor will the plants be as tall, healthy or flori-
ferous. Early sowings of seed are best made in flats in the greenhouse; later sowings may be made in hotbeds or coldframes or sunny win-
dows. Do not cover the seed too deep. Seed may be sown broadcast or in drills, and covered with a little less than % of an inch of soil.
Root-lice or root-aphis, cutworms, the aster bug or fly and rust or yellows are the worst pests and disease that we have to contend with
in growing asters.
For the root-lice and cutworm, kerosene emulsion, tobacco water, wood-ashes mixed with water, are all good and effective if applied
around the roots. 3
For the aster bug or fly, sprinkle the plants with air-slaked lime and Paris green, which holds them in check. The proportion should
be 1 pound of Paris green to 100 pounds of air-slaked lime.
The yellows or rust is a fungus which appears on the under side of the leaf, and is one of the worst diseases that the grower of asters has
to contend with. But this fungus can easily be held in check by spraying the under side of the plants with a solution composed of carbonate
of copper, ammonia and water in the proportion of one pound of carbonate of copper, one pint of ammonia and one barrel of water. Use this
preparation at once, if the fungus appear, and use every alternate day until the plants have had several applications; this will kill the
fungus.
’ The aster blight is generally caused by the work of some of the above insects, and if at any time the plants get too badly diseased, the
best thing to do is to pull them up and burn them.
The Hollyhock Disease
For the past years the Hollyhock has been the victim of a virulent form of disease (Puccinea malvacearum) which has wrought great
havoc amongst them by destroying all their foliage and rendering them very unsightly just when coming into flower; this has baffled many
in their attempts to grow them. In order to check the spread of this fungus we recommend the following remedy, which is being used with
satisfactory results:
To 1 lb. of tobacco powder add % oz. of finely powdered sulphate of copper, well mixed; dust the under surface of the foliage (or wher-
ever attacked) with the powder every two or three weeks during the growing season, choosing a dull, still day for the operation; this
will be found effectual.
Should there be any difficulty in procuring the mixture, we can supply it direct in 1 lb. packets at 25 cts. per lb., 10 Ibs. for $2.
We are agents for Sutton @® Sons, “The King’s Seeds-
men,’ England. We will send their catalogue and amateur
guide free to customers purchasing to amount of $5, or more,

Calendar of Operations for Growing Vegetables for
Home Use or Exhibition
By EDWIN JENKINS, Bellefontaine Gardens, Lenox, Mass.
[For the purpose of reckoning dates, New York is generally taken as a standard, Allow six days’ difference for every hundred miles of latitude.]
JANUARY. Those who wish to have exhibition stock of
Ailsa Craig onion and leeks, should sow these in flats or pans
this month. Sow for general use globe artichokes, White Plume
celery and tomatoes, the latter for greenhouse use only. .
FEBRUARY. Put the leeks and onions into small pots as
soon as they are large enough to handle, giving them a rather
rich soil. Sow eggplants, peppers, cauliflower and early cabbage,
and toward the end of the month make another sowing of celery.
MARCH. The preceding notes are useless except to those
having a greenhouse. Those who are without these facilities
should make up hotbeds as early as possible this month and
sow the beforementioned seeds; with care they will not be far
behind when planting-out time arrives. Sow now, Brussels
sprouts, lettuce, parsley, and the main crop of tomatoes. By
the middle of this month the onions, leeks and artichokes should
be nice thrifty plants in 4-inch pots, and should be kept in a
night temperature of 55°; syringe regularly to keep down red
spider, but be careful not to break the leaves. Eggplants, pep-
pers, cauliflower and cabbage should be potted or pricked out in
flats, giving liberal room for growth; all these are subject to
attacks of green fly and the best way to deal with this pest is
to dip all the plants in a one-to-forty mixture of X-L-All Insecti-
cide. Another sowing of all the kinds sown in February should
be made now and as soon as the heat has partially subsided in
the hotbeds, sow forcing carrots, beets, early Barletta onion,
radish and spinach. For those who can afford the room it is a
good plan to start some peas in boxes with removable bottoms,
and when outside weather conditions permit, plant them out;
they will be ready generally a week or more in advance of those
sown outside. As soon as the frost is out and the ground has
dried enough to walk on without sticking, sow carrots, beets,
spinach, parsley and several rows of different varieties of peas.
APRIL. Dress the asparagus bed with nitrate of soda at the
rate of five hundred pounds to the acre. If the strawberries
have lifted with the frost roll with a heavy iron roller and
give them a sprinkling between the rows with some complete
fertilizer. All the various herbs should be sown now, as well
as more peas, beets, carrots, etc. Sow some rhubarb and as-
paragus, so as to have good young plants coming along to take
the place of those dug up for forcing, chicory, witloof and
sea kale are valuable additions to the winter vegetables, which
may be had if sown now. Toward the end of this month the
cauliflower, cabbage and celery sown in the greenhouse may be
planted outside, and another sowing should be made. April is a
month of treacherous weather, and great care should be taken
with the ventilating of frames, not to check any of the plants
with cold draughts and still admit all the air possible; cover the
frames and hotbeds every night with litter or mats. Remember
the old adage ‘“‘safe bind, safe find.’’ Those who have the room
should start one planting of sweet corn in pots; with reasonable
care it will be a week or more in advance of the crop sown out-
side. (For preparation of ground for the exhibition roots, etc.,
see October notes.)
MAY. Sow main crop of onions as early as local weather con-
ditions will permit; sow all the tender vegetables, as lima and
string beans, corn, squash, melon, cucumbers, okra, etc. While
there is always a chance of losing a sowing of these, yet it is
worth while running the risk for the chance of getting a week
to ten days longer season. The artichokes, onions and leeks
should be planted out during the first or second week and great
care should be taken to prevent wilting from hot, drying winds;
an occasional spraying on hot days will be found very beneficial.
On ground specially prepared, and during the first week in the
month, sow the roots for exhibition (carrots, parsnips, long
beets and salsify); when large enough to handle thin them to
about 10 or 12 inches apart. Sow succession crops of beets,
carrots, peas, lettuce, radish, spinach, cauliflower and cabbage;
the winter crop of celery should be sown now.
JUNE. The main planting season is now over, but do not
forget to keep up the succession sowings of lettuce, beans, peas,
beets, radish, cauliflower, etc.; it should be the gardener’s
pride to keep up a steady supply of fresh young vegetables of
all kinds. Give the onions, leeks, carrots, etc., growing for
exhibition, an occasional light dressing with bone meal, guano,
soot, lime, or any good complete fertilizer. Dust the melons,
squash and pumpkins with Slug-shot to keep down the squash
bug. Spray the potatoes with Bordeaux and arsenate of lead.
JULY. Make another sowing of corn and spray the potatoes
at least twice this month with the same mixture as above.
Plant out winter celery on well-enriched land, either in trenches
or on the level. There is usually some difficulty in getting good
head lettuce from the middle of this month until the end of
August. Our experience has been that with good rich soil in
open frames, and with water at hand, there is no difficulty. We
have found the variety Big Boston the most satisfactory. Weak
doses of liquid manure will be of great assistance to all the
exhibition stock. Plant out liberal quantities of cauliflower
now for fall use. Sow tomatoes and cucumbers for winter use
in the greenhouse.
AUGUST. Run the cultivator between all crops where it is
possible, as this will conserve moisture and keep the weeds down.
Sow in frames dwarf peas, beans, radish, spinach, and lettuce.
Make and spawn mushroom beds. If you have no regular mush-
room house, under the greenhouse bench or a shed or barn cellar
will do. _The exhibition onions will have finished growing by
the end of this month and should be carefully lifted and put on
excelsior to dry in a sunny, airy place. Handle with care as they
are easily bruised.
SEPTEMBER. In many parts of the country frost may be
expected this month and tender things should be protected with
mats, boxes, pine branches, or anything that is handy; usually,
if we can get through the early fall frost without injury, there
is a few weeks of good weather afterward.
OCTOBER. This is a month of strenuous work for the man
who wishes to have good exhibition vegetables next year, and
right now the ground should be selected for growing peas, lima
beans, artichokes, onions, leeks, Brussels sprouts, parsnips,
carrots and other root-crops. First try to select a place where
water is near-by; next where the soil is naturally deepest, then,
after determining how much space the several kinds will take,
proceed to open trenches at least 3 feet deep and from 4 to 6 feet
apart (the reason for making the trenches so far apart is to use
the top soil from between for filling, disposing of the bottom 2
feet from the trench in this space). This may seem rather a
wasteful method, and of course can hardly be practiced where
land is very scarce; still with a liberal amount of manure in this
sub-soil lots of crops may be grown in it. Do not mix anything
but well-rotted manure and about a pailful of bone meal to
each 20 feet of trench, unless it is a sprinkling of lime. If the
land is level a good plan is to leave the trenches open all the
winter so as to let the frost exert its pulverizing influence on the
soil, but if the ground slopes much it is better to refill at once
to avoid washing in the spring thaws. Land prepared this
way is better for all crops and will not suffer when the dry, scorch-
ing summer weather wilts and shrivels crops on shallow soils.
Forcing asparagus and chicory may be commenced this month
and these will be much appreciated as other fresh vegetables be-
come scarce. Tie up endive and cover with straw to blanch,
NOVEMBER. The work of the foregoing month should be
continued as long as the weather will permit. Dig up roots of
rhubarb and asparagus for winter forcing. Store winter celery
and all root crops not already in.
DECEMBER. Profit by the past season’s experience with
the several varieties of all the different crops and make up
your seed order with the idea of getting the best.

Endive were beautifully striped and marked with
making a very attractive and novel dis! l'o lovers of Chicory, or
so-called French Endive, this should especially appeal. Serve the

SUGAR CORN
Morse’s Golden Cream. Eats
yellow Country Gentleman Sweet Corn.
The kernels are long and pointed, the
cob is very slender, and the whole ear
about as long as Golden Bantam. The
flavor is remarkable ; in fact, very much
the same as Golden Bantam. The habit
of growth is rather dwarf and the stalks
bear two to four ears. The stalks are
brownish red and the silk is also brown
at the tips.
It is among our earliest varieties, and
the color at eating stage is a rich cream,
cooking to a light golden yellow. Pkt.
10 cts., “pt. 25 cts., pt. 4o cts., qt. 75 cts.
Seymour’s Swe et-Orange.
A most desirable second-early or mid-
season variety, growing vigorously from
6 to 7 feet in height, and producing an
average of two good ears to a stalk. The
ears are ready for use five days to a week
later than those of Golden Bantam, and
are from 6 to 7 inches in length, with
twelve to fourteen rows of deep, rather
slender grains of a light canary-yellow.
It is fully equal in surpassingly delicious
flavor to our famous Golden Bantam.
Some planters pronounce it even ahead
of Golden Bantam on account of its larger
ears and the greater length of time that
they remain in fine condition for the
table.
Sweet-Orange is all that can be desired
as a companion variety to Golden
Bantam. Of strong growth, the large
ears are well filled and the grains are
exceptionally sweet, tender and full of
milk. A great point of merit with the
Seymour Sweet-Orange is that when the
grains develop they remain soft and
tender and retain their sweetness for a
longer period than those of any other
second early Sweet Corn. All reports
from cool northern localities praise the
hardiness of growth and early season of
maturity. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 20 cts., qt. 35
cts., 2 qts. 60 cts., %pk. $1.10, pk. $2.
Burpee’s_ Earliest Catawba.
Very nearly approaches Golden Bantam
in its dwarf growth and extreme earli-
ness, but differs from it in color and
flavor. It grows from 4 to 5 feet in height,
and bears from one to five good-sized
Pea, cae
; ears to a stalk, according to whether it is
Warrlaton grown in hills or rows. When ready for
the table the grains are white, though
sometimes suffused with rose-pink, but
the dry seed is a dark purple, shaded rose; very much like the
color of the Catawba grape, which gave it its name. This Corn is
most satisfactory in every respect, and we cordially invite a trial of
its wonderful merits. Pkt. 10 cts., %pt. 20 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 60

DWARF, or KIDNEY BEAN
Sutton’s Masterpiece.
Introduced by Sutton & Sons in-
Ig1o, and has proved to be a dis-
tinct advance on varieties pre-
viously grown. The comparative
trials in their experimental
grounds leave no room for doubt
as to its superiority. The plant is
robust in constitution, unusually
prolific, and the long pods are
straight, handsome and _ tender.
As a very quick grower Sutton’s
Masterpiece will be a valuable
addition to the varieties adapted
for pot culture.

tendent for Mrs. D. Willis James,
“Onunda,’”’ Madison, N. J., and
Mr. William Longland, superin-
tendent for J. L. Hutchinson, Esq.,

EARLY CABBAGE
Copenhagen Market.
This superb new Cabbage has
created quite a sensation. It is
undoubtedly without a rival as the
finest large, round-headed, early
Cabbage in cultivation. The type
is thoroughly fixed; this is a great
consideration to gardeners. The
heads average about ten pounds
each in weight, are very solid,
with small core and of fine quality.
It matures as early as Charleston
Wakefield, and will give a much
heavier yield than that popular
variety. The plant is short-
stemmed, the heads being pro-
duced almost on the ground. The
leaves are light green, rather
small, saucer-shaped, and always
tightly folded. The plants, there-
fore, can be set closer than is usual
with varieties of similar size. Pkt.

One of the earliest Peas in existence, being ready
Laxtonian. to gather green one or two days before Gradus or
Thomas Laxton. It is a true marrowfat, having the richness and
quality of the best main-crop varieties. In all respects the greatest
advance yet made in dwarf early Peas, and likely to remain so for
some years to come, for it has all the essential qualities of a high-
class Pea. Pt. 60 cts., qt. $1, %pk. $3.75, pk. $7.25.

Pioneer. A first-early Pea which has won great popularity for

in habit, and carries a heavy crop of long, pointed pods of dark
green, which are well filled with rich-flavored Peas. So numerous are
the pods that the plants present a most striking appearance while
growing. We regard this as one of the best varieties in the dwarf
section of the early class. Height about 2 feet. Pt. 60 cts., qt. $1.

Extra-Early Gradus Pea.*
The stock of our improved Gradus Pea
has been selected for us by one of the
leading Pea specialists in England. The
merits of this Pea over the existing va-
riety are its extreme earliness, produc-
tiveness and continued bearing. Height
about 3 feet, and of robust growth. Pods
are large and well filled, containing at
times as high as ten Peas, which are
sweet and tender, and remain so for
several days after being gathered. Pt.

Boddington’s Early Bird.
A round-seeded Pea of the Gradus type,
embodying the hardiness of a round va-
riety, with the flavor and size of pod of
Gradus. A grand Pea, the greatest ad-
vance in round varieties since the advent
of Telegraph. Growers cannot fail to
quickly see the advantages of this Pea for
their early work. This variety is a first-
early cropper, producing deep green pods
of the well-known Gradus type, but, on
account of its hardy constitution, may be
sown early to great advantage in order
to obtain very early results in the spring.
It is a vigorous, branching plant, growing
3 feet in height, and bears throughout the length of the haulm a
large proportion of pods in pairs, which contain fine, deep green
peas of exquisite marrowfat flavor. A prominent gardener writes:
“T want to say a word in favor of your Early Bird. I saw it ata

BUSH LIMA BEANS
The “Burpee-Improved” Bush Lima
is an entirely ‘‘New Creation.’’ The pods are truly enormous in
size, borne in great abundance upon bushes 2% feet high by 2 feet
across. The Beans are both larger and thicker than those of the
popular Burpee’s Bush Lima or any strain of the large White Pole
Lima. An expert’s opinion: ‘‘ This is the finest Bush Lima that has
ever been introduced. The bush is sturdy in habit and 20 to 24 inches
high with large leaves. It bears its beans on long spikes in very pro-
lific clusters well out from the plant. There are from four to seven
pods in each cluster and often as many as eleven. Each pod con-
tains three, four or five beans, and there are more pods containing
five than there are containing three beans; so that there is an im-
provement of from one to two beans in each pod, and this, taken
with’the great number of pods borne, makes the yield enormous. In
quality this Bean ranks with the very best and the beans are of large
size. In earliness it comes before Henderson’s and Burpee’s Bush,
and is about a week earlier than the latter. This Bean is bound to
be the greatest, most popular Bush Lima—a continuous bearer.”

POLE BEANS, LIMA
Burpee’s Giant-Podded is the largest podded and heaviest
cropper of all Limas. The pods are
truly gigantic in size—frequently measuring from seven to eight and
one-half inches in length and one and a halt to nearly two inches
in width. The beans are extra large and thicker than airy other
Pole Lima, excepting only those of
the Potato-Limatype; they are in-
variably of superb flavor. The
skin, while thin and tender, is of
sufficient strength, so that after
shelling the beans are not liable to
crack when shipped to market.

For very early use sow in January or February in hotbeds; prick out when plants are strong enough into other hotbeds; or sow in
coldframes in March, transplant to the open ground when danger from killing frosts is passed, in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in row.
For succession sow in open ground the last of March or early in April. The autumn and winter varieties sow in April or early in May, in
shallow drills, 3 or 4 inches apart; transplant early in July, in rows 2% feet apart and 2 feet in the row. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh,
rich soil, well manured, and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage-fly, which destroys them as fast as

“T can not make my reader a plant breeder ;
but I want to open his mind to a great line of
progress that is little realized. :
““T desire to say to him that it will pay him
increasingly, as plant-breeding methods im-
prove, to take good care to purchase only well-
bred seed, not only of choice flowers and high-
class vegetables, but of field crops as well. It
is not enough that seeds be true to name, clean
of weeds, and strong enough to grow; they
el should also have good ancestry or pedigree.

The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or until the ground has
become warm; for a succession continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet
apart each way, covering abour half an inch, and thin out to 3 plants toa hill. The extra-early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the

and plantings to be made not later than June twentieth to July first.

its value for early planting and early maturity. It is a rapid

fruit has solid flesh of good flavor and of a

fruits on one plant. Its value is still increased by the upright grow-
ing of the fruits. They are consequently more exposed to the sun,

One of its most prominent features
is the perfect regularity of its fine

gained by careful selection con-
sists in its being very short-leaved
and of a vivid scarlet coloration.
The tastefulness of its tender and
crisp flesh is unrivaled and will be
acknowledged by every one who
has compared this introduction,
with other varieties. ‘' Giant
Butter’ does not, in spite of its
uncommon size, become hollow
and pithy, but keeps crisp and juicy
for weeks, even longer than any
other kind. Owing to its short
leaves it may now be successfully
used for forcing. Its size, of course,
demands a broader as well as a
deeper sowing which will but re-

FORCING SEA KALE ROOTS
(Crambe maritima)
Sea Kale is almost unknown in America, but considered quite a
delicacy in Europe. It is one of the most succulent and edible vege-
tables known, and can be forced like rhubarb, or grown in the open
ground and protected so that it will bleach. In form and flavor it is
not unlike celery, though it is not eaten raw, but boiled and served
with drawn butter. We are importing especially fine stock this winter.
Imported Extra-selected Forcing Crown. $2 per doz., $15 per 100.
ASPARAG US (Asparagus officinalis)
Mark out rows for field culture 6 feet apart with a two-horse plow,
going twice in a row, getting row as deep as possible without getting
in the yellow soil; spread in row good, well-rotted manure or fertilizer;
drop on manure about ten inches apart (eye up) good two-year-old
roots; cover with a hoe about two inches. In about two or three
weeks the Asparagus will be up enough to cultivate; work same as
other field crops, gradually working in soil as season advances, natu-
rally it will work itself in; the following spring, plow off with a one-

LILIES
Se
Bulbs and Roots for In
Do not plant Lilies in the open; a partial shade is essential for successful cultibation in the hot climate of America
By ARTHUR HERRINGTON
Author of “The Chrysanthemum,” and a Practical writer on Horticultural Subjects
The white Lily has ever been esteemed as “ Flora’s’”’? emblem of purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that
popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly deserves.
“ Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’—American, European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern Hemis-
phere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast continent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and the Philip-
pines. Their geovraphical distribution is peculiar in that they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance still is the fact
that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be because certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses, in great quantities, every
year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the true possibilities of the family, as a whole, as garden flowers.
A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the abun-
dance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming from June
r until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in gorgeous
beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding years.
The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best garden
Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their permanent
character and their subsequent increase in numbers. With a few ex-
ceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average depth
and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all, only to be
once planted and left alone for a number of years, when they may have
increased to such an extent as to need lifting and replanting in re-
duced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum of the swamps,
and Canadense of the fertile meadows; “they toil not, neither do they
spin,’ but in their season they are pictures of great beauty. These,
although natives, are worthy of garden cultivation, and the response to
garden culture is seen in greater statue and more abundant blooming.
The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms
of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a
score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to
the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. croceum, L. umbel-
Zatum, and their allies, in many shades from yellow to dark crimson.
As summer advances, new kinds vary the garden scene; of special
prominence being the old white Z. candidum, L. longifiorum, L.
Japonicum Browntii (in its several varieties), L. tenutfolium and L.
superbum excelsum (testaceum). In August, we have LZ. Henryt,
with its great-branched beds of orange-yellow -flowers, borne aloft
from 6 to 10 feet high, a noble Lily, that will.grow anywhere and
increase fast. With the Tiger Lily, and varied forms of LZ. speciosum
to carry on the flowering till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we
may have five months of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all
easily grown kinds. These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the
culture of some that demand extra care or special treatment, like the
pretty pink Krameri, the golden Auratum, or the giant Z. giganteum.
Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by
planting in special associations ; for example, among rhododendrons
or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved,
enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too, make
an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming,
and both mutually helpful to the other. Make a great bed or border
by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with Lilies and
peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into a floral
feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.
LILIUM HENRYI
(The Yellow Speciosum)
A splendid Lily from the mountains of China. It is a
most vigorous Lily. Its flowers closely resemble those of
L. speciosum in. shape, but in color they are a handsome
deep orange-yellow banded with green. It will thrive with-
out any special care and produce a strong panicle of flowers.
| Like most other Lilies of the Speciosum class, it is well to
ee ta cover it a little during the winter months. 75 cts. each,
Lilium Henryi $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100.

TWO
LILY GEMS
FROM THE
ORIENT
HARDY, FRAGRANT |
AND BEAUTIFUL
Introduced by R. & J. Farquhar & Co.
Lilium Sargentie
\ ' JITH the .introduction of these two
magnificent new varieties blooming in
July and early August, it is now pos-
sible to have a continuous display of bloom of
) Lilies in the garden from early summer until frost.
| A group of the variety Myriophyllum, shown by
|) Farquhar at the National Sweet Pea Society’s
Exhibition in Boston, was pronounced by many
to be the chief attraction at the show.
Lilium myriophyllum
| Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant-col-
lector, collected the bulbs now offered, in north-
western China. He considers this the finest of
‘all Lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent
for forcing. It has been predicted that this will!
) become the Easter Lily of the future, and, being
‘) so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-yellow
at the center, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the jasmine, and lacking the
heavy, oppressive odor of most Lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horti-
'} cultural Society, and a First-Class Certificate by the Royal International Exhibition, London, 1912. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
Lilium myriophyllum
Lilium Sargentiae
The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest-growing Lilies—frequently attaining a height
of 6 to 8 feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a stalk, and in size and shape resemble Lilium Harrisii,
greenish white, shaded purple on the outside, and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron in the center. The flowers have
a pleasing fragrance. This Lily will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many consider it the
finest of all tubular-flowered Lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum and, being of larger growth, has a dis-
tinct place. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1912. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
FROM THE GARDEN MAGAZINE, NOV. 1912. “Mr. E. H. Wilson, in his recent extensive exploration of China, discovered

Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies
FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING AND
NATURALIZING
Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies. A stubborn clay may be improved for them by
deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat or rotted turf, or indeed
in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. They should be planted deep for their size, never less than 6 inches.
When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted. The borders must be deeply dug and liberally manured before
replanting.
Batemanniae. An attractive,
strong-growing Lily; height about
4 feet, producing five to eight rich,
apricot-colored flowers on a stem.

The forcing of Cold-storage Lilies is not ——
an experiment any more. Florists and private Lilium Tigrinum
gardeners can testify as to the practicability
of this method of producing Lilies out of season. The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keep the bulbs, when first
potted, in a cool place, or cellar, so as to produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light.
Lilium speciosum so treated will flower in four to six months from time of potting up. Lilium giganteum, in about four months,

WATER-LILIES
_ , All water, whether tream, pond, or even a small pool, seems to hold a certain charm for everyone, and when this water
is inhabited and beautified ut ints and fish, it becomes fascinating. More especially is this the case when the plants are gorgeous,
tender Nymphzas and Nelun the chaste and artistic hardy Water-L ilies; and when we consider the ease with which these plants
can be grown, there is no reas every natural lake, pond and stream having the proper conditions, which are sunshine, still, warm
water and plenty of rich soil, should not be so beautified. Where stagnant pools exist, it becomes a hygienic necessity to stock them with
i } } j
plants and fish, for, as in the ; en prope rly balanced with plant- and animal-life, the water becomes, and will remain,
pure and sweet, and in pla aria-breeding pool we have a healthful and delightful aquatic garden. Aquatics given
the same or similar conditions as t 1 r native Water-Lilies are found will grow luxuriantly and flower profusely the entire
season, and will give more pleasure for the time and « are expended in their cultivation than any other plants of which we know. The
amount of flowers produced and space covered by a pe zle specimen Nymphaea, even the rarer and more expensive varieties, become
inexpensive, compared to the cost of the most ordinary bedding plants.

GOLD MEDAL AMARYILLIS (Ker's)
The most gorgeous and beautiful of all bulbous plants. The original species, Amaryllis aulicum, A. equestre, A. psittacinum, A.
Regina, etc., were first introduced to gardens more than a century ago. Very many of these species were cultivated and flowered for the
first time in Europe in the gardens of Liverpool merchants, whose ships brought them from the West Indian Islands and Brazil. The
first recorded hybrid was raised by a Prescot clockmaker named Johnson, and is still grown and bears his name, A. Johnsoni. Many beau-
tiful varieties figure largely in the garden of literature of the first half of this century, but these, from a decorative and florists’ point of
view, were all defective, having long tubular flowers much shaded and marked green in the center, and with narrow petals; so that, hav-
ing reached as near perfection as possible, their culture declined, until the advent, some twenty-five years ago, of two new species, Ama-
ryllis Leopoldii and A. pardina, from the valleys of the Peruvian Andes. These two varieties were so different from the existing sorts that
observing growers hybridized them with the very finest of the old varieties, and it speedily became apparent that they would prove of
great potency in the further improvement of these lovely plants.
This hope has been fulfilled to a large extent, and varieties richer and more varied in color, of fine form, large size and vigorous
growth, have been produced.
Formerly, a good Amaryllis bore two or three flowers on the scape, now it produces four to six, and very often two scapes from the
bulb; the diameter of the fiowers was 3 to 5 inches, now it is 6 to 8, and even 1oinches. Wecontinue their most careful culture, which year
by year adds new beauty and popularity to these already fine plants.
The flowering season of the Amaryllis is during the months of February, March, April and May, although with a little forcing they
may easily be had in flower in December and January; and we know of no more showy or effective flowet for the decoration of the con-
servatory, during the six months mentioned.
Their cultivation is simple. After flowering, they should be placed ina warm house, if this is available, or the warmest part of the
greenhouse, and watered freely until the end of August, when water should be gradually withheld and the bulbs allowed to go to rest. By
the beginning of October, the pots may be laid on their sides under the greenhouse stage. If they are required to bloom in December or
January, they should be placed in a temperature of 60° to 65° about the middie of November; but if not required so early they should be
started about the middle of January, when a temperature of 50° to 55° will suit them well. They should be watered very sparingly at first.
The best time to pot the bulbs is just before starting them, and a compost of two-thirds good loam, one-third leaf-mold, with a little sand,
will suit them admirably.
Owing to the increasing popularity of this better class of Amaryllis, we are encouraged to offer the following Gold Medal Collections,
imported directly from the great raiser, Ker; all strong bulbs that will flower the rst year. Not less than one collection sold.

This plant, in the past few years, has ich in demand. There are, perhaps, very few plants that are easier of culture and
have such a variety of color in their f V wn plants are simply wonderful in the colorings and markings of the leaves, embra-
cing every degree and shade that can |! i f pure white, deep green and intense crimson. As pot-plants they form specimens of
great beauty, and are exceedingly usefu ie decorator and the grower of decorative plants, lending striking effect to any collection of
foliage plants. They are also of grea »r bedding purposes, succeeding well in partially shaded locations.
Fancy-leaved Caladiums are ea tivated. They require a stove treatment where a night temperature ranges from 60 to 70 degrees,
and a moist atmosphere. The | auld be potted in early spring, in a mixture of fibrous loam, peat and leaf-mold, with plenty of
sharp sand. Water should be sparingly given until they are rooted and well started into growth. They should be kept near the glass, and
shaded only during very bright sun During the winter the bulbs should be kept in a dry place where the temperature does not sink
below 60 degrees ul la 2
We offer an English and Brazilian collection of new and very rare Fancy-leaved Caladiums of the handsomest, transpa-
rent-leaved kinds. consisting of the brightest colors and most vivid markings, nearly all of them being entirely new to this country, and
were selected from over 1oo varieties } ;
Dry Caladium tubers or ; should be kept in dry sand in a temperature 60 to 65 degrees—a too high or too low temperature causes

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY DAHLIAS
The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. The
very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of
form, continuous flowering qualities and general excellence. If other varieties are wanted, we shall be glad to procure them for you.
_Nore.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain
varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good, if not better, results.
Peony-Flowered Dahlias (The Aristocrats of the Dahlias)
The Peony-flowered Dahlias comprise a new type of this grand decorative plant, and have created a sensation in Europe wherever
shown. They have also received some of the highest honors ever accorded to novelties. Blooms grow erect on tall stems, are of immense
size, measuring 6 to 8 inches across, and of distinct and remarkable coloring. They are grand for cutting and all decorative purposes, and

Eight Grand Giant Dahlias
The eight sorts here offered are, wit 1, the largest
and most perfect double-flowering D now grown, flowers
of all of them attaining a size of between 6 and g inches across
under ordinary cultivation.
; Probably t largest Dahlia in exist-
Golden Wedding. Been pains: fully tavice au ane
Yellow Le Colosse. On account of the gigantic size and,
the color, which is a deep iden yellow, in contrast to
the various shades generally found in Dahlias, this was
most appropriately named Golden Wedding, being the
same shade as the Golden Wedding chrysanthemum, and
also fully as large; flowers, the past season, measuring 6
to 8% inches in diameter, petals reflexing almost to the
stem with a full center. The plant is also a giant. The
flowers are produced on stems 3 feet and more in length.
In spite of its gigantic size, it is most effective for vases or
decorations, as the stems, though rigid, droop gracefully
under their great load. The leaves, like the plants, are
very large and heavy. This is one of, if not the best exhi-
bition variety ever produced. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
A new giant Decor-
Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt. 4 new giant Decor
surpasses any other Dahlia of its color. The plant is a re-
markably strong, vigorous grower, not quite so early a
bloomer as Dorothy Peacock, but blooming earlier than
most of the large Dahlias. The flowers are of an immense
size, often 6% inches in diameter, and 3 to 4 inches through, and al-
ways full to the center. The flowers are produced on long stems in
great abundance. The color is a deep rose-pink, the reflex of the petals
being the same color as the face, or a shade darker, in contrast to so
many varieties that have a pale reflex color. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz.
Cuban Giant. Very large; dark, rich maroon. 25 cts. each,
——_s $2.50 per doz.
Fireburst. This is a seedling of Le Colosse, with broader and
———_ longer petals, is more flatly built, but a far more in-
tense scarlet, slightly shaded orange, and produces specimens
which measure 8 inches and over. Flowers are borne apart from

BODDINGTON'S <
BULBS 123
BODDINGTON’S QUALITY GLADIOLI
As a cut-flower the Gladiolus is more accommodating to circumstances than are most others. If required at an earlier date than that on
which the flowers would naturally open, they may be cut and the stems inserted in water, and placed in a warm temperature, to which
response is speedily manifest; or, if too early, they may be retarded, and will keep fresh for several days in a cool room or cellar. For
conveying distances, they are unsurpassable for the length of time they will remain without moisture in a close-fitting box uninjured, and
when placed in water on arrival at their destination, they quickly revive, and the unopened blooms commence to expand nearly as well as
though they had roots and corm beneath them.
Gladioli, Including Peace and War
Grand Novelty
PEACE. Flowers are large, of good
form, correctly placed on a heavy,
straight spike. Color beautiful white
with a pale lilac feathering on the in-
ferior petals. 25 cts. each, $2 per doz.,
$15 per 100.
WAR. A fitting companion in color to
Peace. Deep blood-red shaded to crim-
son-black. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
AFTERGLOW. Flowers large; sal-
mon-fawn, with violet center. 75 cts.
each, $7.50 per doz.
BLUE JAY. (True.) This variety has
generally been confused with Baror
Hulot, but it is much superior. Beau-
tiful blue flowers on tall and vigorous-
growing spike. ‘‘The true blue va-
riety.”’ $1 each, $10 per doz.
DAWN. (Tracy’s.) The most beauti-
ful shell-pink Gladiolus over offered.
A long, graceful spike of magnificently
formed flowers, all open at one time.
The keeping qualities of this variety
are excellent, while its color and tex-
ture make it indispensable as a cut-
flower and for bedding. 20 cts. each,
$2 per doz., $15 per 100.
EVOLUTION. Delicate rose, shaded
darker. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.
INDEPENDENCE. A brilliant rose-
pink, with richly marked throat. A
long spike of wax-like flowers. One of
the best for cut-flowers and for mass-
ing, because of its color and the lasting
quality of the bloom. to cts. each, $1
per doz., $7.50 per 100.
KUNDERDI ‘“‘GLORY,’’ The grand
orchid-flowered Gladiolus. This
type is distinctively new. Broad-ex-
panded, wide-open flowers, paired by
twos, face all inthe same direction, and
are carried on straight, stout stalks
never less than 3% feet in height.
From four to eight flowers are open at
one time; each petal is exquisitely ruf-
fled and fluted at the edges, such as is
only noticeable in orchids. The color
is delicate cream-pink with a neat, at-
tractive crimson stripe in the center of
each lower petal. The shade of pink is
unknown in any other Gladiolus.
15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100.
MRS. FRANK PENDLETON, JR.
The demand isso great for this sterling
novelty, being the third season offered,
that we are unable to make any reduc-
tion in price. Order early to procure
Mrs. Frank Pendleton, Jr. Awarded
First-Class Certificate of Merit by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society of
Boston and by the American Gladiolus
Society at Baltimore, 1911. This new
variety is the result of crossing the best
of the largest-flowered type and is now
a type of its own. Its color is the most
exquisite salmon-pink with a yery con-
Grand Novelty Gladiolus, Peace
spicuous blood-red blotch in the throat
on the lower petals. 50 cts each, $5
per doz.
NIAGARA. In type the variety re-
. sembles America, but the flowers ap-
_pear to be somewhat larger, measuring
4% inches across. In color they are a
delightful cream-shade with the two
lower inside petals or segments blend-
ing to canary-yellow. The throat is
splashed with carmine, and the lower
ends of the outside petals are also
flushed with carmine. The stamens
are purple and the stigmas pale car-
mine, this little addition in the coloring
relieving the creamy effect of the pet-
als. The flower-spike is very erect and
stout, and is wrapped with broad, dark
green foliage. The variety is evidently
destined to lead in the cream colored
varieties. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz.
PANAMA. A new seedling of Amer-
ica, which it resembles in every way
except that it is a much deeper pink.
A grand variety which evokes words

flowers of medium size. With the ex-
ception of a very small purple streak
atthe bottom of the throat, the flower
is of perfect white, turning to fleshy
white toward the end of the flowering
stage. It is decidedly one of the best
white Gladioli. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per
doz., $20 per 100.
ROCHESTER WHITE. The value
of this novelty is its color—the purest
white ever offered. The flowers, which
are correctly placed, are large and well
shaped; the filaments also are pure
white. The very fact that the anthers
and pollen of this variety are white,
places it in a class by itself. The
spikes, well supported and large, aver-
age 3 feet in height. Quite early.
$1 each, $10 per doz.
VIVID. Rich, velvety purple; flowers
round and well placed;- spike erect
and of good constitution. 50 cts. each,
$5 per doz.

GLADIOLI OF RECENT INTRODUCTION
Gladioli are among the easiest and mo ry bulbs to grow,
and beautify the large and small gar their utility as a
decorative flower, either cut or growin 5 ung tioned.
Gladioli can be grown in beds by themsel\ yr planted in the her-
baceous border, or among the 'ros« ) nd shrubbery, where
they will flower when other flower loom. | ;
The best time to plant is about t st of May, putting in
the smallest bulbs first, and 1 rving th rger bulbs for IN
later planting. A succession of m may be had from July f
to October by making plantings two weeks apart up to the
end of June. ;
To secure early blooms, the bulbs can be started in pots, or
they can be retarded by late planting and cold storage.
Bulbs can be planted as soon as danger of frost is past. A
good, deep, rich soil suits them best. They should be set
about 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart each way, if beds are
required. When in full growth and coming into flower, they
should be heavily mulched or watered with diluted cow ma-
nure. If necessary, stake with light bamboo canes.
ALASKA. A pure white variety having a strong consitution
and producing a long spike of well-formed flowers. This
variety was exhibited at the Convention of the S. A. F. and
O. H., at Philadelphia, 1907, under No. 27, and was awarded
Certificate of Merit. $1 each, $10
per doz.

sorts ever introduced. The flower
is pure white and very large, well-
formed bell-shape, ona strong spike.

ous and easily grown Gladiolus
known. This beautiful Gladiolus
has produced as great a sensation
as the now famous Princeps. The

ender-pink, very light, almost a
tinted white. The color is the same
as seen in the most exquisite Cat-
tleya Orchids. For cut use and
bedding it is without a rival. 10 cts.

JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size, gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest purple,
striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest profusion of
coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American-grown, thor-
oughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which is
rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four or five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immedi-
ate and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired.
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though a
moist position is preferable.

GERMAN IRIS (iris Germanica)
The true ‘‘Fleur-de-Lis,”’ the national flower of France, and one of the most
desirable early spring-flowering plants. They are perfectly hardy, grow and
bloom luxuriantly, especially if planted near the edges of ponds or low, moist
grounds, or if plentifully supplied with water, producing large, fragrant, orchid-
like flowers of exquisite colors.

Culture of Irises
The Iris is a well-known favorite of the border, and all the members of the family
deserve attention for their excellent faculty of taking care of themselves if
properly planted in the first instance. The tuberous or bulbous-rooted kinds do
not require a rich soil; a sandy loam suits them well, and they thrive in peat.
Several of the most beautiful varieties should be grown in pots in frame, or in a
cool greenhouse. All the varieties can be planted out in clumps in front of a
shrubbery or herbaceous border, where they may be seen to advantage, or in
== the pasture and woodlands. The crown of the bulb must not be more than 3
pe) inches below the surface.

Amaryllis producing beautiful pink flowers. Produces In early spring
attractive green foliage which grows until July when it ripens off and
disappears, and anyone not familiar with its habits would think the
bulb had died; but about a month later, if by magic, the flower-stalks
spring from the ground to a height of 2 or 3 t, developing an umbel
of large and heautiful, lily-shaped flowers ) 4 inches across, and from
eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear

planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best
time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before
flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the

BODDINGTON’S
ROSES
SECTION IV—PLANT DEPARTMENT
A Few Hints on Outdoor Rose Growing
ARRIVAL OF PACKAGE.—Immediately the package containing
the Roses arrives, it should be taken to a cellar or sheltered place,
where the drying winds cannot penetrate, to be carefully unpacked.
The plants should be taken from the bundle and the roots and tops
thoroughly sprinkled with water, after which they may be covered
with a sack or mat until they are planted. Should the weather be
wet and the soil unfit to receive them, it is best to open a trench, lay
the plants in thickly, covering the roots well with soil, until the weather
be fine and soil sufficiently dry to tread upon. If planting is being
performed during a dry wind or sunny day, it will benefit the plants,
before taking them from the shelter in which they were unpacked,
to dip the roots of each plant in a thick puddle made of clay and
water; this will cover the fibrous roots with a coating sufficient to
protect them from the most severe winds.
FROST. Should frost
set in after the receipt of
plants, so as to prevent
planting, the Roses on
arrival should not be
opened, but rolled up ina
mat or straw and put away
in a dry house where there
is no heat. The plants,
which are always care-
fully packed before leav-
ing, will, when so treated,
keep safely for one month.
DELAY OF PACK-
AGE. — It occasionally
happens through negli-
gence on the part of ex-
press companies that pack-
ages containing plants are
unduly delayed, and in-
stances may occur when
some of the plants may
have become shriveled.
In such cases, lay the
shriveled plants quite flat
in the bottom of a trench
in the ground, similar to
that prepared for celery,
cover them entirely (both
roots and tops) with soil
which has received a good
soaking with water, and
allow them to remain
there for three days. At
the expiration of that
period uncover and take
them out, when it will be
found that the wood and buds have regained their normal condition.
SOIL.—That which is especially adapted to the Rose is a deep soil
of a greasy nature. Where this is not to be had, and the soil is light,
add either clay or loam in addition to manure. If heavy clay, some
burnt earth, sand or leaf mold should be added.
SITUATION AND PREPARATION OF GROUND.—A place
sheltered from high winds (open, and not surrounded by trees, as
closeness is liable to cause mildew), and apart from other flowers.
should, if possible, be assigned to them; a south, southeastern or
southwestern position is best, the beds being situated so as to receive
the morning sun. Oblong beds, not over 4 feet, are preferable, as the
flowers may be cut or examined without going off the path or grass.
The Rose will not thrive in a stagnant soil, so that if drainage does
Frau Karl Druschki, or Snow-white Rose
BY AN
EXPERT
not naturally exist it must be provided. If it is not convenient to
use tiles, a layer of broken stones, six to nine inches deep, or any other
coarse material will answer the purpose. This done, the soil should
be dug or trenched to a depth of at least 18 inches, mixing plenty of
manure, made very much like a sandwich, with alternate layers of
manure and earth.
PLANTING may be safely continued until April. Great care
must be taken to avoid deep planting. In case cf dwarf Roses, place
the union of the stock with the bud 2 inches beneath the soil.
Each root should be laid out carefully, taking care that two roots do
not cross each other or coil around; this is very important for ,the
well-being of plants. The roots of standard Roses require similar
treatment, and must be placed about 5 inches below the surface.
Do not put the manure on the bare roots, but first place some
Bie fine soil over them, after
which manure may be
laid on. Tread firmly and
spread some coarse litter
on the surface around the
plant as a protection from
frost. Standards should
be staked, and any very
long shoots on the dwarf
plants shortened.
MANURING. — Cow
manure is admittedly the
best. It is best to apply
surface dressing in the
autumn, for protection
against frost, which should
be forked or hoed in dur-
ing the early spring.
PRUNING.— It is best
to prune early in March
(unless the plants are late
planted, when it should
be deferred until April).
In all cases it is necessary
to cut away all weak or
unripe wood, leaving only
the strong and well-
matured. This, in the
case of strong-growing
kinds, should be cut back
to five or six eyes; the
weaker and shorter-grow-
ing must be pruned closer,
leaving only two or three
eyes on each shoot. This
refers to hybrid perpetual,
hybrid tea, and tea Rose;
the climbing and pillar sorts should not be cut back.
WATERING.—Should the spring and summer prove dry, watering
is absolutely necessary, and, if liquid cow manure can be had, so
much the better.
INSECTS.— Insects are very troublesome to the Rose-grower. In
spring, almost as soon as the plants begin to grow, the caterpillar or
Rose grub attacks them; these can be destroyed only by hand-picking.
After this the greenfly makes its appearance, which should be kept in
subjection by spraying the plants with X. L. All Insecticide or Aphine,
as listed in this Catalogue.
MILDEW. Dust flowers of sulphur over the affected parts as soon
as it makes its appearance. Another good remedy is sulphide of
potassium, loz. to the gallon, applied with syringe, or use Fungine.

BODDINGTON’S QUALITY ROSES
DORMANT, HARDY, HYBRID PERPETUAL and OTHER ROSES

Roses still hold populz ir sway in the garden, and to meet requirements we have made special arrangements this year with regard to
the quality of the stock and list of varietie s, which we have selected primarily for their hardiness, variety of coloring and productiveness.
We are handling x this year only English Roses, as we find these are much better ripened, and, if planted i in the fall, winter-over much more
satisfactorily than the cheap Holland-grown Roses usually sold at department stores. They are also budded lower, and are less liable to
“sucker’’ from the bi ir upon which they are budded.

NOVELTY ROSES FOR 1913
We take much pleasure in introducing the following Roses.
Our Mr. Harry A. Bunyard, while attending the International Horticul-
tural Exhibition in London, last summer, made many copious notes, not only at the great show, but also at the nurseries he visited, with
the result that we are cataloguing the Roses we consider the best for American gardens—varieties that will be great acquisitions, and for
coloring and usefulness will please the most fastidious.
The stock we offer is ‘all two years old, English field-grown, and will flower
absolutely the first year of planting. All our Roses are imported and packed in bundles of five; this facilitates handling and is to your
advantage.
Tuliet This, perhaps, is the most distinct Rose ever introduced
~————__ for color, which is unique. It is of the same type as So-
leil d’Or, Rayon d’Or and other Austrian Briers and their hybrids.
It was introduced by Wm. Paul & Son, in 1910. These types require
very little pruning; simply remove dead and useless wood. The fol-
lowing is the raiser’s description: ‘‘ Outside of petals old-gold, inte-
rior rich rosy red, changing to deep rose as the flowers expand. A
very distinct and attractive novelty, blooming both in summer and
autumn. Large and full, of powerful and delicious fragrance ; most
beautiful.’’ 50 cts. each, $2.25 for 5, $40 per 100.

Wi. R. Smith. This is, in our
opinion, the
greatest late summer and fall Rose ever °
introduced. While a true everbloomer,
it is not so perfect in early summer; but
after most other Roses are gone, this
; begins to come out strong and con-
® tinues to improve until, in October
& (here), it is cut down by frost. The
& general color effect is a peachy blush,
with yellow at base of petals. This
Rose has all the characteristics of the
Maman Cochet, from which it is descen-
ded, and is absolutely immune from
disease. Foliage is dark green, heavy
and leathery; young growth bronzy red.
In this latitude (New York City) it
will go through an ordinary winter with-
out protection, but protection is advis-
able as with other Roses. 50 cts. each,

Lawn Rollers and Lawn Mower Grass Catchers
LAW N ROLLERS. The benefit derived from the use of a roller on the lawn, especially in the spring, is not fully understood. The ac-
tion of freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave, and, if the sod is not firmly pressed back with a roller before the hot weather
begins, the grass is apt to be injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots. Price for Hand-, Horse- or Motor-power Rollers upon application.

A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!
Rose plot,
Fringed pool}
Ferned grot—
The veriest school
Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not—
Not God! in Gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign:
’Tis very sure God walks in mine.

WHEN WE BUY, QUALITY IS OUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
OUR TERMS
By] RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Two per cent allowed, to be
j} deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved credit, accounts
are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special prices and terms are
arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Fertilizers and Insecticides
SSoj| are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
sete! ORDER EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as
early as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. Also that you write your order and letter on
separate sheets of paper; this will facilitate the filling of same, and will avoid errors. We aim to
ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible,
hence the importance of ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTITUTE without authority from our customers. As the season advances,
however, some stocks “run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure more. If, however, you
give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, ae we will use our knowledge and
ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made subject to
change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We, however, carry very
large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied by a remittance
in part payment, to guarantee charges.
We Prepay by Parcels Post. See Special Announcement on Second
Cover, and Read Carefully.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets, will now be
carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS”? rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rates to
all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials’’ rate is in force, the companies make a
special reduction. Shipments weighing less than 100 pounds receive the benefit of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum
charge is 35 cents. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4 per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing
100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cents on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except
that three bulbs or plants, one variety only, will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price, and
250 at 1,000 price; but it is suggested where these quantities are too
large, that two or three friends or neighbors could combine their ;
orders with advantage, and save transportation charges. When comparing
NON-WARRANTY.—We give no warranty, expressed or implied, Prices, always com-
as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any pare the Quality, too
seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do we guarantee the success-
ful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or that the same will be free
from disease. If not accepted on these terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any
money that has been paid for same will be refunded. ARTHUR T. BoDDINGTON.
Our Telephone Number is “*2205 Chelsea”
We have made special arrangements in our office to receive orders over the
telephone, and will have an expert on hand to answer practical questions and to
make suggestions. Phone your order in and charge it to us, if you live within one

Post Packages will be as above.
DARWIN TULIPS IN THEIR GLORY
° «7. “7 H ; » fo carden pe
_“And a man shall ever see that when ages grow to civility and elegancy, men come to build stately, sooner than to garden finely;
as if gardening were the greater perfection.’”’—Lorp BACON.
2 Arthur T. Boddington, 342 West 14th St., New York City
Boddington’s “Quality” Darwin Tulips
The Darwin Tulips originated in the north of France, where they were raised from seeds of the best varieties of Bybloems. It was
over a quarter of a century ago that a well-known Dutch bulb-grower first noticed their splendid qualities as garden Tulips, and, after
having grown them on for some time, he put them on the market, naming them after that great naturalist, Darwin.
They form a distinct class of Tulips, and one can easily tell Darwins from other late Tulips by the cup shape of the flowers, the robust
growth of almost every one of them, and the white, blue or black, but never yellow, markings inside at the base of the flowers. If the base is
yellow, itis nota Darwin, Another notable characteristic is that, when looking into the flowers, they are Just as beautiful and, in some
Instances, even more beautiful than when looking at the outside, which is never so with any other Tulips. And the greatest difference
between Darwins and other late Tulips is that almost every Darwin can be forced, some of them by the middle of February. With their
long stems and their bright colors zing from white through all the shades of pink and purple to the most fiery scarlet, they form an
exquisite material for garden decoration, and, as such, the demand for them is constantly growing. Our collection is one of the best and
largest and the result of much care and selection,
Please note that there are no yellow Darwins. Those that are sold as yellow are either Cottage Tulips or Breeders, and can be found
under those heads in our list. We wish to say here that the skins of most Darwin Tulip bulbs are very thin and do not stand much hand-
ling. They seldom have that nice appearance of the bulbs of the early varieties.
Planted in the herbaceous border they make a great show in late May and June. Flowers are large and borne upon tall, erect stems.
To secure the best effects, plant five to twenty bulbs in a group or bed the same as the early varieties.
Those marked with a star (*) are recommended for forcing

large, well formed, and keep their

what kind of weather. The stems
are very tall and strong, holding
the flowers perfectly upright, the
hardest wind cannot break them.

- Hollandia Collection of
Single Late, Cottage,or May-
Flowering Tulips
The name of this class of Tulips has been derived from the fact
that many of them have been found in the gardens of country
houses and cottages in England and France. Planted in Holland
soil, they have multiplied rapidly, and by skillful hybridizing the
number of varieties has become very large, one surpassing the
other in size and beauty of color. All colors imaginary are to be
found among them, and, as they are all long-stemmed, they form an
excellent material for the cut-flower grower as well as for the land-
scape architect.
To popularize the growing of the Late, Cottage, or May-flowering
Tulips, we again offer the following collection of unique varieties
which are the cream of over one hundred, especially imported by
us for trial, and we consider
them the most perfect of this
lovely type both in form and
color. Some will attain a
height of nearly 4 feet in one
season, being borne on long,
stiff stems well above the fo-
liage, and once planted in the
‘border will increase and
bloom for years. A trial of
these lovely Tulips will con-
vince you of their merits.

SINGLE COTTAGE or MAY-FLOWERING TULIPS
For Planting among ‘'crbaceous Plants and Formal Borders of Shrubbery, etc.
It is surprising that these grand os have not been more largely planted. As an early display, they are magnificent in their beauty
and coloring, coming into flower, y do, from May 16 to the first week in June, according to the season, and are most useful from a
decorative point of view, after tl y-flowering Tulips are past. The colors are various, as described in the following sorts, and their
height, after being well establish reaches nearly three feet in some types. After planting, they need not be disturbed for years, and fill
in the space until spring plants can be set out in beds, There are many beautiful late-flowering Tulips, but the following are a few of
the most distinct varieties. No pretentious garden, or public park where flowers are grown extensively under appropriate surround-
ings, should be without a selection of them, for they afford immense enjoyment to large numbers of people, as we know from experience.
Gesneriana spathulata or
major. This variety has long
been in cultivation. The beauti-
fully curved flowers are brilliant
scarlet, with a bluish black cen-
ter, on tall stems. 35 cts. per

Gesneriana Ixioides. Beautiful
yellow, with black center. 20
cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $12 per
100,
Greigi. The beautifully formed
flowers are of large size-and of a
gorgeous orange-scarlet color, so
brilliant as at once to attract the
attention. The plant is quite
ornamental on account of its
broad, spotted foliage. 15c. each,
$1.25 per doz., $10 per 100,
Isabella, or Shandon Bells.
The petals are a_ rose-color,
flushed or flaked with white
when they first open, and after
two or three days it changes to
a suffused deep rose and red.
Remains longer in bloom than
many others, and stands well
when cut. 25 cts. per doz., $1.50

Rembrandt Tulips are simply queerly striped and feathered
Darwin Tulips. They resemble Bybloems, but are larger, and there
is more variety in the colors.

ties, which were selected with great care as to their distinctness.

Breeders, Self-Colored
Breeders, formerly listed among the ordinary Cottage Tulips,
really form a distinct class by themselves. Originally they were
simply Bybloems or Bizarres without their stripes, and their dull,
bronzy colors show their origin; but there is something peculiar
about them that attracts the attention and cannot leave a lover of %
flowers indifferent. When looking at a collection of Breeders, he
either does not care for them in the least or becomes a warm admirer.
A peculiarity of Breeders, which other late Tulips have, is their
agreeable, sweet scent, which can be
noticed even at a distance. The flowers
have unusual lasting qualities.
To introduce these interesting Tulips we
offer the following exceptionally good va-
rieties: Each Doz. 100

BODDINGTON’S BRILLIANT TULIPS
FOR BEDDING OR FORCING, FIRST-SIZE FLOWERING BULBS ONLY
There is one important difference b hyacinths and Tulips. Under similar treatment most hyacinths flower about the same
time, while Tulips come into bloom at : e periods. The divergence has frequently been the source of much disappointment, for, in
a bed (or even a vase or pot) planted wi ent Tulips, one variety may be overblown before the others show their colors. For brilliant
bedding effects, solid masses of color a be preferred, especially for design bedding.
For cultural directions under ¢! e hyacinths, page 9. The treatment to be followed is exactly the same. Tulips for bedding
should be planted about 6 inches apart i about 4 inches deep, reckoning from the tops of the bulbs.
The figures following the vari indicate earliness in flowering, No. 1 being the earliest; No. 2 following; No. 3 being still a little
later, but coming into bloom before the No. 2’s are out. The height is indicated by “‘p” for dwarf, ‘‘m”’ for medium, ‘‘T”’ for tall.

BODDINGTON’S “QUALITY” NAMED DOUBLE TULIPS
ALL FIRST-SIZED BULBS ONLY
These are all very desirable for bedding or forcing. White, red and yellow sorts for bedding of about the same height, planted in lines
of three or four rows of each color, form, with their large, rose-like flowers, beds of surpassing grandeur. Their flowers, being double, are
quite persistent, and, being also late in blooming, they serve to prolong the season of gorgeous beauty in the spring flower-garden or house.

Boddington’s Brilliant Bedding Tulips
Boddington’s Quality Dutch Hyacinths
Boddington’s Extra-Selected Named Dutch Hyacinths
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS
HYACINTHS IN POTS.—It is important in the pot culture of Hyacinths to have rich, light soil. If the bulbs are to be potted singly,
pots 5 inches in diameter are the proper size. Cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken pot, and over this place a layer of moss,
which will keep the soil from clogging the drainage thus provided. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, anda, in pot-
ting, place each bulb so that its top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should
be of usual natural moisture, and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a coldframe where there is protec-
tion from frost or in the coolest part of the cellar, and well watered. An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist sifted coal-ashes,
covering the pots to a depth of 6 inches with the same material. When well rooted, which will be in about ten weeks, the bulbs may be
brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be kept ina temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in
forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started
much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results.
Hyacinths for early use may be potted in September or October. When desired for late use, it is better to pot them in October and
keep them in a coldframe or cellar above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower-
spikes, Hyacinths, when being forced, should have plenty of manure-water and fresh air, and should have as much light as possible. The
blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun after they show color.
HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.—The single varieties are, with a few exceptions, best adapted to this mode of culture. They produce
finer flower-spikes than the double. Fill the glass with clear soft water, so as nearly to touch the base of the bulb, putting a small piece of
charcoal in each glass to keep the water pure and afford some nourishment. The filled glasses should be placed in a dry, cool, dark place,
and kept there until the roots almost touch the bottom of the glass, when they may be exposed gradually to the light. If the water in the
glasses becomes foul or diminished, replace it with fresh water at about the same temperature as the atmosphere in which the bulbs are
growing ; otherwise it need not be changed. When well started, the bulbs should have plenty of light and air, without drafts, in order that
the best development and brilliancy of color may be obtained. Intending purchasers can rely upon all bulbs of Hyacinths being thoroughly
ripened, fully up to specified size and ‘‘quality,’’ and true to name.
Boddington’s Extra-Selected *‘Exhibition’” Dutch Hyacinths
At the great International Flower Show, New York City, last April, the Hyacinths grown by Mr. William H. Duckham, superintend-
ent, and exhibited by Mrs. D. Willis James, Onunda, Madison, N. J., were awarded the silver medal. Mr. William H. De Graaff, of Hol-
land, one of the jurors, stated they were the finest collection of Hyacinths he had ever seen cultivated under glass. The bulbs were sup-
plied by us and were specially selected for this purpose. For intending exhibitors in 1914, we will pick exhibition bulbs—in a general
selection from our stock—in the most distinct colors, and varieties best suited for this purpose. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.

Boddington’s “Quality” Bedding Hyacinths to Color
Bedding Hyacinths should be planted about 8 inches apart each way—or, say twenty to the square yard—and 4 or 5 inches deep,
peck on the top of the bulb. The actual number requisite for a given area, however, must be determined in every instance by the
i
local con
tions and the object in view; a large bed in the distance need not be sd closely planted as a small bed in the immediate fore-
ground, and of course a smaller number will be necessary in either case if a groundwork such as Myosotis, Silene or Arabis be provided.
Hyacinths planted alternately with Narcissi produce a very striking effect, and for this combination 6 inches from bulb to bulb is a suitable
distance.
The following Hyacinths, although offered at very low prices, have all been imported by us from Holland this year and can be strongly
recommended for their high quality. They are specially adapted for groups in borders and shrubberies, where they will give a brilliant
display of very handsome flowers; but for beds, where simultaneous flowering and uniformity of shade are of importance, we
the Superlative Hyacinths offered above.

Boddington’s “Quality” French Romans
Although the flowers of the French Roman Hyacinths are smaller than
those of the Dutch Hyacinths, they can be forced much earlier into bloom, are
more fragrant, and bear a greater abundance of flower-spikes than the Hol-
land-grown bulbs. These can be forced for a continuance of bloom all winter,
and are unsurpassed for cut-flower purposes. an 100 ‘1,000

Narcissi and Daffodils
Narcissi and Daffodils are among the earliest-flowering bulbs, and are alike use-
ful for cut-flowers and decorative purposes. The most useful for early forcing is the
well-known Paper White Narcissus, Grandiflora multiflora. They are pure white,
chaste and beautiful, and are borne on long stems, sometimes as many as fifteen to a
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS. — Plant bulbs in shallow pans or boxes, about 2inches
apart, and store in cellar or shed till thoroughly rooted. Do not allow frost to reach
them. If wanted for Christmas, bring into the light about the second week in Novem-
ber, and after that successively (about a month to six weeks), and you will have
Narcissi in bloom till nearly Easter. They are among the most satisfactory of flowers
for winter adornment of the home. For general cultivation of Narcissi under glass,
see hyacinths, page 9.
Paper White Narcissi can also be grown in water with pebbles in shallow dishes
and bowls, the same as the Chinese Sacred Narcissus, or in our prepared fiber. See
page 23 for particulars of this interesting cultivation.

New Narcissus
Poetaz Hybrids
N. poeticus ornatus X N. polyanthus varieties
By crossing these two classes, Narcissus poeticus ornatus
being the seed parent, our growers have succeeded in obtaining
a perfectly hardy strain of bunch-flowered Narcissi. The indi-
vidual flowers have all more or less the Poeticus shape and size.
Besides being hardy, this class has the merit that they have not
inherited the strong, disagreeable scent of the Tazetta Narcissus.
They are equally valuable for bedding and forcing. A bed of
these Narcissi is simply covered by a dense mass of flowers.
They force extremely easy. This is an entirely new strain, and
has no similarity with varieties of Narcissus known heretofore.
The following we consider the best of this lovely type:
Alsace Petals pure white, with yellow eye; when bursting
* into flower the eye is slightly edged reddish. Broad,
large flowers of true Poet form; one of the earliest. Has three
flowers on a stem. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz,, $6.50 per 100, $60

Elvira Pure white, with yellow eye; large flower of a remark-
——_—. ably good substance. Long-stemmed, and a good
keeper; four flowers on a stem. Highly recommended. 5 cts.
each, 40 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, $25.50 per 1,000.

“ ing six to seven flowers; beautiful, striking color. 5 cts.

Narcissus Jonquilla, or
Jonquils
All of the Jonquils are prized for their graceful, golden, fragrant
blossoms and the ease with which they may be grown. Half a
dozen bulbs may be put in a 5-inch pot, and with the samé treat-
ment as recommended for hyacinths (see page g), a fine display can
be had from January to April. Their cost is so trifling that liberal
planting should be made outdoors. A clump of fifty or more bulbs
put here and there among shrubbery or interspersed in the hardy
border or naturalized in the grass, gives an indescribably rich effect
in the early spring, while a vase of cut-blooms will fill a room with
their rich, spicy perfume.

MIXTURE OF SINGLE NARCISSI
This mixture does not contain the very cheapest sorts, and will
be found very fine. 20 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $9.50 per 1,000,
For producing brilliant masses of striking color in the mixed border, among shrubs, under trees, or for grouping in grass, the preced-
ing varieties of Nar-
cissi are unequaled,
while they especially
claim the attention
of amateurs for their
hardiness and ac-
commodating quali-
ties. Clumps should
be grown in odd cor-
ners to furnish flow-
ers for decorative
purposes. When cut
just as they begin to
expand, the flowers
develop their full
beauty in water as
perfectly, and retain
their brightness for
as long a period as
when allowed to re-
main on their own
plants. Pansies,
myosotis, scillas, and
other low-growing
plants and bulbs
make lovely com-
panions for these
popular Narcissi.
(For other bulbs for
naturalizing, see
page 37.) We especi-
ally recommend
Narcissus for this
purpose.

Lily-of-the-Valley from Cold Storage
We import large quantities of the best grade of Valley for forcing,
which are put in cold storage immediately upon arrival and kept
perfectly dormant. These pips can be shipped any day of the year
and can be brought into full flower in three weeks from time of plant-
ing without undue forcing, and with foliage. We recommend these
for flowering up to Christmas. Soak in water for twelve hours,

the easiest culture. 5 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100.
RANUNCULUS, Boddington’s Giant. Gorgeous double
flowers, easily grown in pots for winter
blooming, or in coldframes for spring. Eight roots may be potted in
a 6-inch bulb-pan; they should be covered one inch. The colors in-
clude shades of white, yellow, crimson and purple, some being almost
black.

Giant Turban. Mixed colors. 20 cts. per doz., $1 per 100.
SPARAXIS. Beautiful flowers about 2 inches across, borne
=. 0 n:_ ong, graceful spikes; the colors are of the
most telling combinations and of the brightest shades. They are
tigered, blotched, spotted, streaked and flushed in the most diverse
and pleasing manner. The bulbs are not hardy, but do exceptionally
well when grown in the conservatory or house in pots or in coldframes,
and flower during the winter and spring months.
10 Choice Named Varieties. 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100.
Choice Mixed Colors. 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100.

T. tricolorum. io cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100.
TRITELEIA uniflora (Spring Star Flower). A perfect little
gem for pot culture. It flowers in very early
spring. Its star-shaped flowers, of a delicate, milky white, suffused
with blue, emit the perfume Of the primrose. 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts,
per 100, $6 per 1,000.
Ranunculus in variety
NERINES (Amaryllidaceae). These popular South African
ee —_ bulbous plants are among the most charming and
most useful of all early winter-flowering plants. Coming into bloom,
as they do, at a time when bulbous flowers of real choiceness are
scarce (October and November), we find that Nerines amply repay
the little care and attention which they require. Same cultural direc-
tions as amaryllis.
There is an ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely beautiful
flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an ordinary greenhouse with
a temperature ranging from 55 to 60 degrees, they produce annually
their handsome umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24
inches long. The best time for repotting is during August, using a
good sandy loam with a little leaf-mold and well-decayed cow manure;
encouraging a free foliage growth during winter, but care should be
exercised to reduce the watering as soon as foliage commences to turn
yellow, eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show signs of
new growth.
Corusecans major. Scarlet. (See illustration.) 65 cts. each, $6.50
per doz., $50 per 100.
Fothergilli major. Vivid scarlet; a grand Nerine. 65 cts. each,

BODDINGTON’'S
Amateurs Attention!
Something New
Growing Bulbs in Fiber
The Idea of Growing Bulbs in Fiber was a new one for this country
when we offered it four years ago, but it has been practised success-
fully in England for many years
A most interesting method of growing bulbs is to place them in bowls, Hya-
cinth glasses and jardiniéres filled with prepared fiber; far better results for
home decoration may be obtained in this way than by using ordinary potting soil.
For this system of culture no drainage is necessary, and the bowls which
are specially made for the purpose are not pierced with the usual holes for
drainage. They are non-porous, and may be placed on tables and columns, or
they can be used in halls and corridors without the slightest risk of injury.
The fiber is perfectly clean to handle, odorless, and remains sweet for an
indefinite period.
Any receptacle may be used for the purpose provided it is non-porous, but
the bulbs to be planted in them should be suited to their size. Crocuses, Scillas,
Snowdrops and Grape Hyacinths are available; also Tulips, Hyacinths and
Narcissi. It is better not to mix different varieties of bulbs in one bowl unless
simultaneous flowering can be assured.
This specially prepared fiber we offer requires moistening only before use,
Having selected suitable receptacles for the bulbs to be grown, place a few
pieces of charcoal (which we also supply with the fiber) at the bottom of the
bowl. Then cover the charcoal with moistened fiber according to the depth of
the bowl, placing the bulbs in position so that their tips reach to within a half
inch of the rim. The spaces between and around the bulbs should be filled with
moistened fiber, carefully firmed in by hand. The bulbs will require practically
no attention for the first few weeks, and may be stood in a warm, airy position,
but on no account must they be shut up in a close cupboard.
If the fiber has been properly moistened, there will be no need to give
water until the shoots are an inch or so long, but great care must be taken not
to allow the fiber to dry, otherwise the flower-buds become blind. The surface
of the fiber should always look moist; but, if too much water has been given,
the bowl may be held carefully on its side so that the surplus water may drain
away. As the growth increases, more water will be required, and as much light
as possible, to insure sturdy foliage.
This fiber also answers admirably instead of water for Hyacinths grown in
glasses, but care should be taken to fill the glasses as lightly as possible with
the compost; if packed in tightly, root-growth is liable to push the bulbs out
of position.

GOLD MEDAL AMARYLLIS (er’s)
The most gorgeous and beautiful of all ous plants. The original species, Amaryllis aulicum, A. equestre, A. psittacinum, A.
Regina, etc., were first introduced to garde re than a century ago. Very many of these species were cultivated and flowered for the
first time in Europe in the gardens of Li nerchants, whose ships brought them from the West Indian Islands and Brazil. The
first recorded hybrid was raised by a Pr kmaker named Johnson, and is still grown and bears his name, A. Johnsoni. Many beau-
tiful varieties figure largely in the gard ‘erature of the first half of this century, but these, from a decorative and florists’ point of
view, were all defective, having long tubular flowers much shaded and marked green in the center, and with narrow petals; so that, hav-
ing reached as near perfection as possible, their culture declined, until the advent, some twenty-five years ago, of two new species, Ama-
ryllis Leopoldii and A. pardina, from the valleys of the Peruvian Andes, These two varieties were so different from the existing sorts that
observing growers hybridized them with the very finest of the old varieties, and it speedily became apparent that they would prove of
great potency in the further improvement of these lovely plants.
This hope has been fulfilled to a large extent, and varieties richer and more varied in color, of fine form, large size and vigorous
growth, have been produced.
Formerly, a good Amaryllis bore two or three flowers on the scape, now it produces four to six, and very often two scapes from the
bulb; the diameter of the fiowers was 3 to 5 inches, now it is 6 to 8, and even 10 inches. We continue their most careful culture, which year
by year adds new beauty and popularity to these already fine plants. : ;
The flowering season of the Amaryllis is during the months of February, March, April and May, although with a little forcing they
may easily be had in flower in December and January; and we know of no more showy or effective flower for the decoration of the con-
servatory, during the six months mentioned.
Their cultivation is simple. After flowering, they should be placed ina warm house, if this is available, or the warmest part of the
greenhouse, and watered freely until the end of August, when water should be gradually withheld and the bulbs allowed to go to rest. By
the beginning of October, the pots may be laid on their sides under the greenhouse stage. If they are required to bloom in December or
January, they should be placed in a temperature of 60° to 65° about the middie of November; but if not required so early they should be
started about the middle of January, when a temperature of 50° to 55° will suit them well. They should be watered very sparingly at first.
The best time to pot the bulbs is just before starting them, and a compost of two-thirds good loam, one-third leaf-mold, with a little sand,
will suit them admirably.
Owing to the increasing popularity of this better class of Amaryllis, we are encouraged to offer the following Gold Medal Collections,
imported directly from the great raiser, Ker; all strong bulbs that will flower the first year. Not less than one collection sold.

Lilies for Growing and Forcing under Glass in the
Greenhouse, Conservatory or Sunny Window
Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt, if intended for growing in pots or for forcing. The soil should be rich, the pot well
drained. The bulb should be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting, give a
thorough watering and set outside in a coldframe or shady situation; then cover with ashes or long straw. After they have stood from
three weeks to a month, bring into the house, allow plant to grow above pot 4 to 6 inches, then fill pot with soil to within 1 inch of top of
pot, and force gently. After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used.

LILIUM CANDIDUM (St. Joseph or Annunciation Lily)
This is the old-fashioned garden Lily. Can be forced for Easter
and is perfectly hardy, blooming in the open ground in June. The
many snow-white flowers, borne on a stem 3 to 4 feet high, make
this Lily most effective. This variety should be planted in the fall,
from the fact that it makes a winter growth. Ready for delivery in
September. (See illustration.) 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $12 per
too. Monster bulbs, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $16 per too.

HARDY LILIES
Do not plant Lilies in the open: a partial shade is essential for successful cultibation in the hot climate of America
By ARTHUR HERRINGTON
Author of “The Chrysanthemum;" and a Practical Writer on Horticultural Subjects
The white Lily has ever been esteemed as ‘‘ Flora’s’’ emblem of purity, but the Lily family, as a whole, has not been accorded that
popularity and prominent representation in gardens it rightly deserves.
“Consider the Lilies of the field, how they grow’’—American, European and Asiatic. A chain of Lilies encircles the Northern Hemis-
phere from the Pacific coast eastward, across this vast continent, thence through Europe and Asia, and ending only in Japan and the Philip-
pines. Their geographical distribution is peculiar in that they are found only in northern countries, but of more importance still is the fact
that they are not all hothouse plants. It may be because certain Lilies are largely grown in pots in greenhouses, in great quantities, every
year, that our thoughts have been diverted from the true possibilities of the family, as a whole, as garden flowers.
A Lily garden is a glorious possibility of easy attainment, with one-half of the world paying tribute of beauty thereto. Out of the abun-
dance of the Lily family we may make selections and suitable plantings that will ensure a complete succession of Lilies blooming from June
until November,—a changing garden picture unequaled in gorgeous
beauty, with the added feature of permanency in succeeding years.
The cost is not prohibitive, because the majority of the best garden
Lilies are plentiful and cheap, when we consider their permanent
character and their subsequent increase in numbers. With a few ex-
ceptions, Lilies are grown in ordinary garden soil of average depth
and fertility; in fact, many of them need no culture at all, only to be
once planted and left alone for a number of years, when they may have
increased to such an extent as to need lifting and replanting in re-
duced quantity. Look at our native Lilies—Superbum of the swamps,
and Canadense of the fertile meadows; ‘‘they toil not, neither do they
spin,” but in their season they are pictures of great beauty. These,
although natives, are worthy of garden cultivation, and the response to
garden culture is seen in greater statue and more abundant blooming.
The Lily season in the garden opens in June, when the dwarf forms
of Lilium elegans and L. Thunbergianum, numbering at least a
score of distinct varieties, open their rich orange or crimson cups to
the early summer’s sun. Next in season comes L. croceum, L. umbel-
Jatum, and their allies, in many shades from yellow to dark crimson.
As summer advances, new kinds vary the garden scene; of special
prominence being the old white Z. candidum, L. longifiorum, L.
Japonicum Brownii (in its several varieties), L. tenwifolium and L.
superbum excelsum (testaceum). In August, we have L. Henryi,
with its great-branched beds of orange-yellow flowers, borne aloft
from 6 to 10 feet high, a noble Lily, that will grow anywhere and
increase fast. With the Tiger Lily, and varied forms of ZL. speciosum
to carry on the flowering till chill autumn days, it is apparent that we
may have five months of Lily bloom in changing loveliness, and all
easily grown kinds. These, too, will awaken a desire to attempt the
culture of some that demand extra care or special treatment, like the
pretty pink Krameri, the golden Auratum, or the giant ZL. giganteum.
Whilst Lilies are beautiful anywhere, they may be doubly so by
planting in special associations ; for example, among rhododendrons
or other shrubs, not too thickly planted, they are actually improved,
enjoying a partial shade to their roots. Lilies and peonies too, make
an admirable combination, the one succeeding the other in blooming,
and both mutually helpful to the other. Make a great bed or border
by deeply digging and manuring the soil; then plant it with Lilies and
peonies, and you have made a planting that will grow into a floral
feature that need not be changed or disturbed for ten years.
LILIUM HENRYI
(The Yellow Speciosum)
A splendid Lily from the mountains of China. It is a
most vigorous Lily. Its flowers closely resemble those of
L. speciosum in shape, but in color they are a handsome
deep orange-yellow banded with green. It will thrive with-
out any special care and produce a strong panicle of flowers.
Like most other Lilies of the Speciosum class, it is well to
; } cover it a little during the winter months. 75 cts. each,
Lilium Henryi $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100.

TWO
LILY GEMS
HARDY, FRAGRANT
AND BEAUTIFUL
Introduced by R. & J. Farquhar & Co.
Lilium Sargentie
\ ' JITH the introduction of these two
magnificent new varieties blooming in
July and early August, it is now pos-
sible to have a continuous display of bloom of
Lilies in the garden from early summer until frost.
A group of the variety Myriophyllum, shown by
Farquhar at the National Sweet Pea Society’s
Exhibition in Boston, was pronounced by many
to be the chief attraction at the show.
Lilium myriophyllum
Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant-col-
lector, collected the bulbs now offered, in north-
western China. He considers this the finest of
all Lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent
for forcing. It has been predicted that this will
become the Easter Lily of the future, and, being
so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary-yellow
at the center, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the jasmine, and lacking the
heavy, oppressive odor of most Lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, and a First-Class Certificate by the Royal International Exhibition, London, 1912. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
Lilium myriophyllum
Lilium Sargentiae
The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest-growing Lilies—frequently attaining a height
of 6 to 8 feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a stalk, and in size and shape resemble Lilium Harrisii,
greenish white, shaded purple on the outside, and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron in the center. The flowers have
a pleasing fragrance. This Lily will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many consider it the
finest of all tubular-flowered Lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum and, being of larger growth, has a dis-
tinct place. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1912. $1.50 each, $15 per doz.
FROM THE GARDEN MAGAZINE, NOV. 1912. “Mr. E. H. Wilson, in his recent extensive exploration of China, discovered
ee ©6Lilies that promise to become permanent addmions tojthe garden, having
been proved to be quite hardy in New England. One of these, Lilium myriophyllum, is a most noteworthy addition, as the only really
hardy white funnel-flowered Lily. The interior is luminous canary-yellow at the base with deep pinkish red exterior, which sometimes
suffuses the white. ZL. Sargentig is another of the Wilson introductions that we are assured has a permanent garden future before it.

Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies
FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING AND
NATURALIZING
Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies. A stubborn clay may be improved for them by
deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat or rotted turf, or indeed
in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. They should be planted deep for their size, never less than 6 inches.
When they have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted. The borders must be deeply dug and liberally manured before
replanting.

soms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline and prized for bou-
quets. They should be grown in quantities in the borders or in spots
on the edges of shrubbery, where they are beautifully effective, and
when established produce enormous quantities of flowers.

Winter-blooming Crocuses (Colchicum)
Autumn- and Winter-Blooming Crocuses
Exceedingly beautiful Crocus-like flowers flowering from September to November.
Tkese are worthy of a place in every garden.
Bulbs are ready for delivery in August and must be planted immediately.
Are you not astonished to learn that there are hardy Crocuses which will bloom outdoors in the North between November and March
with no protection whatever? Most of them are from the Holy Land, and all should be planted as early as possible in the autumn.
The
dates given below are the earliest they have been known to flower, but even if they do not bloom until March they are well worth while,
for they will usually be seen in bloom amid the snow. The bulbs should be extensively planted, and the risk of losing them can be greatly
lessened by planting them in the sunniest and most sheltered nooks.
We heartily recommend their use by the thousands on southern estates, especially winter homes in the Carolinas and Georgia, where they
will glorify the otherwise barren month of January. We believe, also, that they will succeed even in Canada, though blooming at the end
of winter. The time of bloom depends chiefly upon the openness of the winter. Winter flowers are certainly exciting, because of the un-
certainty about the time of bloom, and what can be more interesting than to find flowers outdoors in bloom in your own home grounds
right in the middle of winter! Several of these varieties are the very latest introductions.

JAPANESE IRIS
(Iris Kaempferi)
The Japanese Iris is the most showy and strikingly beautiful of all
the large family of Iris; and very few flowers, the orchid not being
excepted, surpass this unique flower in size and gorgeousness and
variety of color, which ranges from snow-white to the deepest
purple, striped, variegated and multicolored in the greatest pro-
fusion of coloring.
The collections which we offer below are American-grown,
thoroughly acclimated and hardy and true to color and name, which
is rarely evident in the imported Japanese stock.
The plants we offer are furnished with four to five shoots, and all
will flower the first season after planting, guaranteeing an immedi-
ate and showy effect. Delivery can be made now or any time desired,
Early fall planting is recommended, however, as it gives the plants
an opportunity to get established before the severe weather sets in.
The Japan Iris will succeed anywhere in a good rich soil, though
a moist position is preferable.
DOUBLE JAPANESE IRIS
Beauty. One of the best; pure white; dwarf.
Chameleon. Dark reddish pink, striped and mottled white.
Crystal. Pale violet, slightly veined white.

ENGLISH IRIS (ris Anglica)
English Iris are specially adapted for planting and naturalizing. The
flowers are nearly as large as the Japanese Iris, and colors are unique
and various. They grow from 18 to 20 inches high and are perfectly
hardy. They flower after the German Iris and before the Japanese,
making a good succession of bloom. (See illustration.) We offer
named varieties as follows:
Argus. Pink and white. Othello. Magenta-purple.

The true value of the Spanish Iris appears to have been overlooked
in this country. Their great diversity of color, and being equally
adapted for forcing for winter blooming and for massing in beds for
spring flowering, make them one of the most useful bulbs to plant.

Old-fashioned Gardening
Hardy Perennial and Old-Fashioned Flowers
THAT CAN BE PRODUCED FROM SEED SOWN IN LATE SUMMER AND FALL
Cultural Directions.—Perennial seeds sown in the late sammer and fall will flower the following year—spring, summer or fall,
according to the variety. The seed should be sown carefully, the same as any choice seed, in well-drained pots, or shallow boxes
or pans. Soil should be light and fairly rich, with about one-eighth coarse sand added; after sowing, cover lightly with well-sifted soil.
When the plants have become large enough to handle, ‘*prick out’’ about 2 inches apart, more if you have the room, in shallow boxes
or frames, and again, when large enough, set out in the open in well-prepared ground. If this is done in the fall, the young plants
should be lightly covered with leaves or short stable manure; this will act as a slight protection, and will be conducive to their thrifti-
ness and next season’s growth.

BODDINGTON'S
MATCHLESS
CINERARIAS
In the culture of the Cinera-
ria the one mistake so often
made is that of sowing the
seed too soon. The plants
thus raised, more often than
not, make a rank growth; this
is not in any sense desirable.
By sowing in May and June,
plants large enough for all
decorative purposes can be
had. In after-treatment the
aim should be to secure as
hard a growth as _ possible.
Sturdy plants with leaves of
medium size are best.

most famous English strains, which can be recommended to those

previous April or May, and wintered in a cool greenhouse or frame.

GIGANTIC CYCLAMEN
The seed of Cyclamen is often sown too early in the year; from
the middle of August to the end of September is the best time. The
seedlings should be grown on to the flowering stage without any
check whatever. When grown cool, the results are most satisfac-
tory. Boddington’s Gigantic Cyclamen are unequaled for size and
quality of bloom. A magnificent strain of Cyclamen with flowers of
extraordinary size and substance.

Gigantic Snowflake. The largest of all white Cyclamen.

Seven Grand Novelty Cyclamen
It is not often that a Cyclamen is honored by the Award of
Mrs. Buckston. Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, but the excep-
tion in this case well merits the award. Cyclamen Mrs. Buckston is of a real sal-
mon shade, a lovely tint somewhat more delicate than found in our “‘Salmon
King,” and similar to the famous carnation, “‘ Enchantress.’’ The type which has beauti-
fully frilled petals must not be mistaken for
the Butterfly Cyclamen, over which it is a a> ae
great improvement. The flowers are immense, we sy ? f
larger than anything we have seen before, 4S. % @
but, in spite of the size, are most freely pro- S| a=
duced, and the plants also being ; -
excellent growers, we have in
this lovely variety the last word
in Cyclamen, without which no

“Quality” Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas
At the exhibition of the National Sweet Pea Society of America, held in New York City, July 12 and 13, 1910, we were again awarded
the C.C. MORSE CO.’S SILVER CUP for the finest exhibit of Sweet Peas. Open to the trade only.
_ Cultivation.
Christmas-flowering Sweet Peas should not be sown too thickly ; about one ounce to 25 feet is sufficient. Thin out to about
3 inches apart when plants are about 6 inches high; if wanted for Christmas, sow before the end of August; if wanted dur-
ing January, February and March, about the middle of September; if wanted for Easter, about the first of November. For successful
growing, a temperature of 40 to 45 degrees at night and 1o degrees higher in the day is considered best. Watch out for red spider, thrip
and green fly. Feed when plants are in full bloom.

POT-GROWN PLANTS PLANTED iN THE FALL WILL GIVE A FULL CROP THE FOLLOWING SEASON
CULTURE.—Strawberries require | \l-tilled soil; the plants should be set 15 inches apart, in rows 2 feet apart; 100 plants will
plant 4 rows, 30 feet long. Firm the pla ell in the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. In the middle of December
cover the beds to a depth of 3 inches with salt-meadow hay, straw or leaves. In April, as soon as the plants show an indication of growth,
push the covering away from the plants to allow them to come up through. This ““mulching’’ protects the plants from the cold in winter
and the heat in summer, keeps the fruit clean, and prevents the growth of weeds.
PERFECT AND PISTILLATE STRAWBERRIES. The blossoms of Strawberries are either staminate (perfect-flowering) or
are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate (imperfect-flowering). Pistillate varieties must have a row of some perfect-flowering sort,
flowering at the same time, planted every 9 or 12 feet apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize
their blossoms. When properly pollenized, the pistillate varieties are usually the most prolific. Those marked with P are pistillate.
FORCING VARIETIES
: This variety is considered the best variety in England for forcing. Last year we imported some of this stock, and
Royal Sovereign. beg to state we can offer pot-grown plants of this valuable variety for immediate delivery, from 2%-inch pots at
$1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
Pride of Redbank Mr. William Turner, Oceanic, N. J., the famous grower of fruit and Strawberries under glass, says: ‘Pride of
* Redbank is one of the finest, freest, and best-colored berries for forcing under glass.’”’ It is upon his recommen-
dation that we are listing it this year, and offer pot-grown stock at $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.

WHEN WE BUY, QUALITY IS OUR FIRST CONSIDERATION
OUR TERMS
Ee RICES named herein are subject to the following discounts: Two per cent allowed, to be
‘| deducted when cash accompanies order. To customers of approved credit, accounts
‘are payable 30 days from date of invoice, except where special prices and terms are
arranged for. Grass, Grain, Clover Seed, Implements, Fertilizers and Insecticides
are subject to no discount whatever, but are strictly net cash.
ORDER EARLY.—It is very important that you should send your orders as
early as possible on receipt of this Catalogue. Also that you write your order and letter on
separate sheets of paper; this will facilitate the filling of same, and will avoid errors. We aim to
ship all orders the same or next day after receipt, but during the busy season it is almost impossible,
hence the importance of ordering early.
WE NEVER SUBSTPIUTE without authority from our customers. As the season advances,
however, some stocks “‘run out,” and it is sometimes impossible to procure more. If, however, you
give us permission to substitute, please state so in your order, and we will use our knowledge and
ability to send goods of equal merit, usefulness and value.
PRICES.—As it is impossible to predict the exact demand, our prices are made subject to
change without notice, and goods being unsold when order reaches us. We, however, carry very
large stocks, and, if order reaches us in good season, full satisfaction may always be expected.
C. O. D. orders can be sent only by express. Such orders must be accompanied by a remittance
in part payment, to guarantee charges.
We Prepay by Parcels Post. See Special Announcement on Second
Cover, and Read Carefully.
20 Per Cent Reduction in Express Rates
Under the ruling of the leading express companies, Plants, Bulbs and Seeds, packed in closed boxes or baskets, will now be
carried at the ‘‘GENERAL SPECIALS”? rate. This rate means a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rates to
all points where no ‘‘General Specials’’ exists. To points where a ‘‘General Specials’’ rate is in force, the companies make a
special reduction. Shipments weighing less than roo pounds receive the benefit of the rate per 100 pounds, but the minimum
charge is 35 cents. For instance, where the regular merchandise rate is $4 per 100 pounds, a box of plants or bulbs weighing
100 pounds will be carried for $3.20, a saving of 80 cents on one shipment.
CLUB ORDERS.—No smaller quantities will be supplied than those quoted in the list, except
that three bulbs or plants, one variety only, will be furnished at dozen price, 25 at 100 price, and
250 at 1,000 price; but it is suggested where these quantities are too |
large, that two or three friends or neighbors could combine their ;
orders with advantage, and save transportation charges. When comparing
NON-WARRANTY.— We give no warranty, expressed or implied, Prices, always com-
as to description, quality, productiveness, or any other matter of any pare the Quality, too
seeds, bulbs or plants we send out, nor do we guarantee the success-
ful flowering of seeds, bulbs or plants, or that the same will be free
from disease. If not accepted on these terms, the goods must be returned at once, and any
money that has been paid for same will be refunded. ARTHUR T. BoDDINGTON.
Our Telephone Number is 2205 Chelsea”

telephone, and will have an expert on hand to answer practical questions and to
make suggestions. Phone your order in and charge it to us, if you live within one
hundred miles of New York City. Goods will go forward promptly.
