Explanatory Notes
IT IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD that this list is not completed until my Autumn Supplement is
ent out, about August 15. All who have applied for this list will also receive the Supplement at the
sason of issue.
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS will please remember that shrubs, trees and vines are not admitted
from the States at all seasons. They are admitted in spring commencing March 15, until May 15,
and in the fall commencing Sept. 26, until Dec. 1. Postage to Canada same as in United States.
EXPRESS RATES ON NURSERY STOCK are 20 per cent less than on other ordinary matter.
Ours is the American or National Express, and we can send as far as these lines go at very much
reduced rates. To send 11 pounds from here to St. Louis costs only 35 cents, with 3 cents for each
additional pound; 13 pounds to Chicago costs 35 cents, with 214 cents for each additional pound; 35
pounds may be sent to Boston, Worcester, Springfield (Mass.), Concord (N. H.), or to New York
City, for 35 cents, and for each additional pound 1 cent will be added. Of course, when a package
must go through the hands of more than one company, the express will be greater.
MY PRICES include boxing, packing—except in the case of Trees and Shrubs (see instructions
under that department)—and delivery to my nearest freight, post-office or express office.
SEPARATE OFFERS FOR FREE DELIVERY have been added to my prices, for those who
wish plants sent by post or prepaid. I shall reserve the right to send either by post or prepaid express
at these rates, and want the name of your express office as well as your post-office, whether the order
is sent by post or not. These estimates by post may not always be exact, but when an excess of
postage is sent I will either make up the deficiency in plants or return the excess. Where prices by
mail are not given, it is understood that the plants are too large for mailing.
THE PRICES FOR SEEDS INCLUDE POSTAGE.
I SHALL ALWAYS ENDEAVOR to give each customer full money value, whether the order is
large or small, and in all cases where the customers feel that they have reason to complain, I shall
thank them to inform me of it. If the fault lies with me, I shall be glad to make matters right.
IT MUST BE DISTINCTLY UNDERSTOOD by the purchaser of these goods that, while I use
my utmost care to have all plants of strong and healthy growth, and seeds of germinating quality,
and both true to name, I will not, in any way, be responsible for the failure of any, and if they can-
not be accepted on these terms, they must be returned within five days. So much depends upon the
care such plants have, and the season following the planting, that I feel that my responsibility must
end when the plants have reached the purchaser in good, healthy condition. Thousands of plants
die each year for want of proper setting and care until established. A little extra pains in preparing
the soil, shading and watering the plants until the roots get established, is worth all it costs.
REMITTANCE may be sent at my risk by post-office order on Charlotte, Vermont, by draft,
check or registered letter. Half a dozen plants will be furnished at dozen rates. To those who wish
to purchase in large quantities, lower prices will be given, if my stock is sufficient.
THOSE WHO WISH TO TALK WITH ME by telephone can usually find me at home at
12.30 and 6.30 P.M. during the shipping season. Messages can be transmitted by private wire to the
office at any time. Address

Planting of Foxgloves
Perennials from Seed
T is more difficult to grow some of the perennials from seed than the annuals. In a light,
sandy loam, almost all can be readily grown in frames shaded so the surface of the soil
is kept moist. After the seeds of perennials are once sown, they should be kept moist
until they germinate. Occasionally one finds a difficult kind to manage, such as Heuchera
sanguinea, which had better be started in the greenhouse. A few others do better with
me sown at certain seasons. For example, I have had better success with the Oriental
Poppy sown the last of August and transplanted in spring, and with Campanula medium
sown just before winter on the suriace of the ground without covering and transplanted
after the plants got to be of pretty good size in the spring. Here, so far north, late-
transplanted perennials do not amount to much. I like to get the seeds in as early in spring as possible
for a good, strong stock for the next year. A good shading for the little plants, when grown in frames, is
cotton cloth, until the seeds have germinated; then a shade made of lath racks with spaces between the lath
half as wide as the lath, which admits of sufficient light and good circulation. Plants do not damp off under
these except in very damp, rainy spells, when all shading could be left off. One cause for a good many fail-
ures of perennials from seeds is that they are covered too heavily, so they cannot come up. No small seeds
should be covered, and the larger ones do not require such deep planting as is often supposed. When the
young seedlings are transplanted, which may be done as soon as they are large enough to be handled,
they should be shaded for a time at first until the little plants get a start. Some perennials do not come
up the first year, and occasionally there will be a kind which may not come up until the third year. Some
of the Clematises and many of the Irises have to lie in the ground over winter before they come up.
PROTECTING PLANTS
I like a little protection for nearly all the hardy plants in winter; not a protection so much against
frost, for this is natural to them, but a protection against the mild winter weather. Plants that are hardy
enough for the severest winter weather may be killed by alternate freezing and thawing. Nature, in many
instances, provides this protection in the dead foliage falling about the plants; yet we cannot tell just how
much of this exposure each species will bear during the winter nor just how much it will have to bear.
Our hardiest meadow grasses are frequently killed out in open winters, as is the case with winter cereals.
With Hardy Perennials it is much the same. Species that are native to coldest climates—that will stand
almost any amount of cold, freezing weather—are often injured by alternate freezing and thawing, but
a covering of 2 or 3 inches of swale or beaver-meadow hay protects them from such sudden changes, and
they come out from their covering in spring as fresh and green as those from under a snowbank. A few
of the more tender sorts may need 3 inches of forest leaves under the hay, but these are not necessary
except for tender sorts. For the exclusion of all frost for species that will not bear freezing, 6 to 10 inches
of the leaves under the hay will be required.

HARDY PERENNIALS
ACHILLEA. Yarrow, MILFOIL.
A. filipendulina (A. Eupatorium). This fine
plant from the shores of the Caspian Sea grows
2 or 3 feet high; flowers bright yellow, in flat
heads, and with lace-like foliage. June to Sep-
tember. Nice to plant among shrubbery, ever-
greens, or for back border. N., 15 cts. each;
P., 20 cts. each. Seeds, 5 cts. per pkt.
A. Millefolium, var. roseum. A handsome
variety of the common Yarrow, with rose-col-
ored or almost crimson flowers in August. A
charming plant when in bloom. Propagated
by division. N., 15 cts. each; P., 20 cts. each.

white flowers, very fine for cutting, which re-
main fresh a long time. Summer. N., 12 cts.
each, $1.20 per doz.; P., 15c. each, $1.25 per doz.
A. tomentosa. Low, woody plant, 8 inches
high; many bright yellow flowers in June.
Wants rather dry soil or rockwork. N., 15 cts.
eee $1.50 per doz.; P., 20 cts. each, $1.75 per
Oz.
ACONITUM. Mownx’s-Hoop, Wotr’s-BANE. A
most charming group of plants, but the roots
are very poisonous if eaten, and it is dangerous
to plant near vegetables, or where children are
liable to get them. Common garden soil suits
them; also do well in shade of deciduous trees.
A. autumnale. This species blooms much later;
in fact, is often in flower at the time the ground
freezes here in November. Flowers blue.
N., 15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. Seeds, 6 cts.
A. Lycoctonum. PaLe YELLOW WOLF’s-BANE.
Stems simple, slender 3 to 6 ft. Flowers in
racemes yellow or whitish. June to Sept. N..,
20 cts. each; P., 25 cts. each.
Anemone nemorosa
Aconitum Napellus. Probably the best and
most reliable Monk’s-hood, blooming the last
of June. It is the most poisonous species.
Flowers blue or nearly white. N., 15 cts. each,
$1.50 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.60 per doz.

A. storkianum. Dark blue flowers and pinnate
lobed leaves. N., 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.;
P., 18 cts. each, $1.65 per doz.
A. uncinatum. AMERICAN WOLF’S-BANE. Wild
in low grounds South. It is inclined to climb.
Blooms in July, bearing an abundance of pale
blue flowers. One of the best. N., 15 cts. each,
$1.50 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.60 per doz.
A. Wilsoni. Novelty introduced from China.
The graceful flower-spikes attain a height of
about 6 feet, and produce in abundance many
pale blue to deep blue flowers, that are twice
the size of the A. Napellus. This flower fills
a long-felt need in the garden for a late blue
flower, after the larkspurs, and is nearly, if not
quite, as beautiful as the delphiniums; at a
little distance this plant looks more iike a bed
of delphiniums than of Aconitum. Blooms
profusely from first of September to last of
October, standing considerable frost. N. 25

Adonis vernalis, continued
low, 2 or 3 inches wide. It forms tufts 8 to 12
inches high, and has finely divided and attrac-
tive foliage. Likes a light, sandy soil, where it
should be left undisturbed when once estab-
lished. Particularly fine for growing in front
of shrubbery or higher-growing perennials,
where it will increase rapidly. Good, also, for
the garden. N., 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.;P.,

AJUGA Genevensis. Bright blue flowers in long,
dense spikes which nearly cover the foliage.
Useful in the shade or the rockery. N., 15 cts.
each; P., 18 cts. each.
ALTHA#A rosea (Single Hollyhocks). More per-
manent and hardy than the double, and, when
planted with a deep green background, such
as arborvite hedge, they afford a most striking
effect. One of the most distinctive ‘‘old-fash-
ioned flowers,’ and a necessity in establishing
acopy of an old-time garden. Fine among
shrubbery and will last for years when once es-
tablished. Summer.
A.—, Single Mixed Plants. N., $1 per doz.; P.,
$1.15 per doz.

ANEMONE. WInpDFLOWER. Belongs to the
natural order of Ranunculacee, or Crowfoot
family, constituting an extensive genus, many
of which are very attractive, hardy perennials
Anemone, continued
for cultivation. A rich, sandy loam, moist,
but well drained, is what they like; yet, for
these, any good garden soil seems to suit. The
border is the most suitable place, or some may
be used about rockwork to good advantage.
They also make good pot-plants, giving
brilliant flowers in midwinter. A. Japonica is
not quite hardy here without a covering, but
I easily grow any of its varieties here by cover-
ing with 3 to 6 inches of straw manure.
A. Canadensis. (A. Pennsylvanica). Flowers

cies of much value, with very beautiful, violet-
purple flowers appearing in early spring. N.,
2© cts: each; P.,) 25 cts. each.
A. sylvestris. This is one of the best in moist,
sandy soils. Bears good-sized, delicate white
flowers on long stems, in the latter part of May.
It spreads a little from the root, forming good
clumps or masses, but not so much as to be-
come troublesome here. The flowering season
may be extended by free cutting, to prevent
its going to seed. N., 12 cts. each, $1.20 per

most charming of all the Columbines. A native
of Siberia, it is quite hardy and seems to be
more permanent than many species. I have
plants now growing at least five years old. It
is not so tall as some, but spreads with age,
making large clumps. Coming among the
first spring flowers, I can think of no plant in
my list of more value in its place. It seems to
hold its characteristics better than most
Columbines, not mixing and varying as most
species do; this is owing, perhaps, to the fact
that most of its flowers come before other

LILIES
The Lily must rank among the choicest flowers as long as flowers are admired. It is not a cheap flower,
and probably never can be, because so many species in cultivation are short-lived at best, and because many
kinds are slow and hard to propagate. It is likely always to remain the rich man’s flower. This is no doubt
one reason for its being prized so by many. If it were as common as ‘‘Golden Glow,’’ it would not be in
such favor.
The majority of species are hardy in well-cultivated garden soil, yet by experience we find that a little
covering to exclude light and sudden changes is very beneficial. There are kinds which seem to do even
with shallow planting and little or no covering for winter, and I have seen bulbs of some of the varieties of
Elegans lie on the top of the bed fully exposed all winter and apparently all right in spring; but Auratums,
Speciosums, and in fact all, with the exception of the Tiger, Elegans, Dahuricum and Croceum, do better
for covering. Our Meadow Lily, growing as it does, usually has a covering of grass or leaves or brush over
the bulb, which keeps out light and sudden changes in winter. The Auratums and Speciosums, when not
covered, may not be killed, but if they freeze too hard, the outer scales will decay and the plant be much
weakened. Too low a degree of temperature will, I believe, kill any Lily, no matter whether under ground
or packed in boxes.

FRED'K H. HORSFORD, CHARLOTTE, VT. : HARDY PERENNIALS
LILIES, continued
Lilies that have become established by one year’s growth will stand more frost than those recently
planted. Candidums set early in September or the last of August, having time to come up and make their
usual fall growth, will stand more frost than late-planted bulbs which do not have time to get above ground
before winter. In protecting Lilies and other bulbs, which are not perfectly hardy, I have found 3 inches
of straw manure over the beds very good. Another method I have adopted for the more tender kinds js
3 inches of forest leaves first, then 2 inches of the straw manure over the leaves, which prevents the leaves
being blown off by the winds.
I find that this bulb will stand much more enrichment than is generally supposed, and a liberal amount
of well-composted manure has been used here with good results. I am inclined to think that the loss from
the Lily disease is often owing to a lack of sufficient fertility in the soil, especially with such kinds as the
Auratum, Speciosum and other kinds that have considerable root growth above the bulb.
A most important item in the growing of all Lilies is the combination of good drainage with plenty of ~
moisture. They require much moisture during the blooming season; still, a soil not well drained seldom
seems to suit them. Much good can be done in the adding of sand, leaf-mold, or turf loam (which is always
good for the Lily), but if good drainage is not given, many species will not thrive.
Lilies often thrive much better the second year after planting, for the reason that, if they are not
taken fresh from the ground, some or all of the roots have been lost or dried, and their scales, also, may have
become shriveled. This is too often the case with imported or store bulbs, if the storing has not been ina
cellar and in soil. Lilies imported in their natural soil, or in damp sphagnum, not allowed to become dry,
and not deprived of their roots, are much more likely to bloom the first year. In purchasing Lilies, it is
well to insist upon having only firm and solid bulbs. If they have been wintered in a cellar, it should have
been in loam, in tight boxes, so that the bulbs could not have shrunken or dried. Bulbs wintered in this
way are often about as solid as when wintered in the ground. They may be better than if set in the ground
in autumn and exposed to the rains, which often injures late-planted bulbs.
The best time to set Lilies is in autumn, it is generally believed, but I have had quite as good success
with spring setting. If they are taken fresh from the nursery before they have advanced too far in growth,
they do nicely. The reason why so many believe that Lilies should be set out in autumn is because the
main supply has been from store bulbs. Few dealers keep their stock in the ground, and when stocks are
not kept in beds or in the ground, unless stored in damp soil in tight boxes, by spring the bulbs become
so dried and shrunken that a season is required for them to regain their normal strength. Two or three
exceptions, perhaps, should be made for spring setting. The Candidums, as a rule, do better set not later
than September 15, and even August 15 is better. Imported, or ‘‘store’’ bulbs, which usually have not roots,
should be set in early autumn for the best results the following season. Always bear in mind when setting
Lilies that they not only send out roots to a good depth below the bulbs, but, in most species, from where
the stem joins the bulb to very near the surface of the beds, roots will form, and these need feeding as much
as those at the bottom. Do not let the bulbs come in contact with the enriched soil. Place a third of an inch
or more of light loam under or next to the bulb, and cover with the same before the enriched soil is drawn
over them. The enriched soil often rots the bulbs when allowed to come in contact with them. Do not
plant too deep or too shallow. If the bulbs could be set 4 inches deep at first, and then, after they are up,
say 6inches high, a covering of 2 inches of good, fine leaf-mold could be placed over them as a mulch, they
would be treated as I like to treat them. Without mulch, set 6 inches deep. Well-decayed peat is also an
excellent mulch. Always plant on fresh ground or ground that has not had Lilies for the two previous years.
The flowering season of Lilies varies much. Bulbs stored in cellars and planted late often bloom
much !ater than those fresh from the ground. The blooming season of Auratum can be much prolonged by
setting late in the spring a few bulbs that have not started. I have had excellent success with Auratums when
set in an inch or two of fresh sphagnum moss. It seems to induce root-growth at the bottom of the bulbs,
and keeps the bulbs cool in hot weather. I used this fresh sphagnum under Auratums, Candidums, Testa-
ceums, Superbums, Grayi and Speciosums. My stock is, for the most part, fresh from beds.

PZEONIA albiflora (P. Chinensis). CHINESE PEO-
NIES. Among the many popular herbaceous
plants it would be hard to find one that fits into
any position in the garden or grounds like the
Peony. The gorgeous display of flowers in their
season is very effective, while the dark green
foliage is at all times attractive. What better
frontage for shrubs or, in fact, for any large
or small plantation, than Peonies? They are also
well suited to massing in beds by themselves.
While Peonies may be planted with good results
in spring or fall, there is probably no better time
than from August 20 to the middle of Septem-
ber. Give the borders or beds a deep and thor-
ough spading; yes, trench the ground, working
in a liberal supply of the best decomposed ma-
nure, and again a top-dressing of the same in the
spring. Avoid planting too deep; a couple of
Field of Festiva Maxima Peonies
Peonia albiflora, continued
inches of earth over the buds is sufficient.
Don’t expect too much of them the first year.
They are a little slow in their growth, but
after a couple of seasons, if they have been well
cared for, you will have no reason for regretting
the extra pains in setting. They bioom in June.

like a sandy soil, with leaf-mold intermixed, and

Hardy Terrestrial Orchids
This charming hardy group contains some of the most showy hardy plants in cultivation.
Cypri-
pediums, for example, are among them. They are very easy to manage, and exceedingly attractive when in
flower. No class of plants has more admirers, and all who have had the pleasure of seeing them growing
will have been struck with the lovely and varied coloring of some of this family. To see them growing in
their habitat, where nature has placed them, is a treat which comparatively few can enjoy, but with a little
trouble we may have the pleasure of their flowers at home in our garden—a treat well worth its cost. The
Cypripedium and some of the others noted in this list are suited to pot culture, and, with now and then
an exception, force well.
APLECTRUM hyemale. Purry Root, Apam
AND Eve. Flower-stalks 1o to 15 inches high
with about ten flowers which are yellowish,

FRED’K H.HORSFORD, CHARLOTTE, VT. ° HARDY FERNS
Hardy Ferns
The greater portion of the Ferns of the world grow in the warmer countries. The number of species
decreases as we go north. Only 40 to 50 of the 2,500 said to have been discovered in the world are suited
to outdoor culture in ordinary soils and situations. But with these comparatively few, which are quite hardy
so far as cold weather is concerned, we have enough to make a very good showing. Ferns, as a rule, do well
in shade, and for filling places where grass and other things cannot be grown they are invaluable. It is
necessary to give them a good, dark soil, say a mixture of sand, leaf-mold and turf loam, and also to have the
soil moist about their roots, with perfect drainage. A shady corner under a maple tree, whose roots reach
every point for a long distance in all directions, would not be a very good place to set Ferns—better place
them in full sun; but this sort of shade is not the only shade to be found around most homes. When leaf-
mold is not to be had, a well-decayed peat will take its place, or a fine chip dirt, well decayed, is excellent.
Ferns do well set in spring, but they may be set in midsummer by cutting back the fronds, and will so
establish themselves before winter as to make a fine showing the following year. The rockery is a proper
place for many Ferns. Indeed, it is the only place for some, if we would give them the same sort of home
that they have when growing wild. They grow stronger and more beautiful yearly.
I do not advise planting Ferns in autumn. Better plant the last of July than after the first of Septem-
ber. It seems important that with a new root-growth must come a corresponding growth of fronds, and
after September 1 not many fronds will come; but, any time before the middle of August, Ferns with full-
sized fronds may be taken up, the fronds cut back to the root and set, and, if kept watered, a new growth of
fronds will come, and by winter the Fern is well established. I have set established Ferns—such as had
been grown a season in the nursery—in autumn, and had most of them live. If setting is done in autumn,
I advise covering well with leaves and brush.
I can not send these Ferns after the fronds are full- or half-grown for the same amount of postage herein
estimated, for the reason that, in order to have the fronds go without injury, considerable more packing
must be used. For late orders by mail, double postage should be sent, or we must cut back the fronds.
I shall always endeavor to give each customer full money value, whether the order is large or
small and, in all cases where the customers feel that they have reason to complain, I shall thank
them to inform me of it. If the fault lies with me, I shall be glad to make matters right.

CHOICE ROSES
Roses
Roses like a good, rich, deep loam. There is little danger of getting the soil too rich. Shallow, sandy
or gravelly soils are not suited to them. When it is necessary to plant in such soils as these, an artificial
compost should be made by taking out a foot and a half of this natural soil, and filling in with rich, heavy
loam. In cold climates, Roses may be grown by banking up a foot or 18 inches just before winter. In
spring this should be removed and the plants cut back as far as they are killed. Even the tender green-
house Roses may be grown outside in this way.

CHOICE ROSES
Crimson Rambler. This vigorous grower attains
a height of 10 to 20 feet in favored situations.
The flowers are borne in good-sized clusters of a
brilliant crimson color; in fact, a single cluster
is a bouquet of itself. It has been quite hardy
here, seldom killing back, except a little in the
most trying winters. 35 cts. each.
Dorothy Perkins. This new climbing Rose has
stood Vermont winters and seems quite hardy.
I have seldom seen a more desirable climber.

in clusters of ten to twenty each, and over an
inch wide. They have a delicious fragrance and
are very durable. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
Frau Karl Druschki. This charming new Rose is
among the best of the double whites. If it has
any fault yet seen, it is that it is too free in
blooming. I would suggest thinning out the buds
a little that larger blooms might be
had, though the flowers are very large.
40 cts. each.
General Jacqueminot. Fragrant, large.
very showy flowers of bright, velvety
crimson. 35 cts. each.

best new Rose exhibited in fifty years.

come addition to the Rose garden, and
grows into a large, stout, vigorous bush.
50 cts. each.
Madame Plantier. This choice, full-
double, pure white Rose is perfectly
hardy here, and, though it flowers
at one time only, produces its blooms
in the greatest profusion. One of the
best Roses to plant where it has to
take care of itself, as in cemetery
planting. 35 cts. each, $2.25 per doz.

light green and almost smooth. Free-flowering.

Shrubs and Trees

| We pack all shrubs and trees in such manner as to insure an order reaching its destination in good con-
dition: Although we advise all to plant this class of stock as early as possible, we have taken up trees in
oe leaf, shipped them over 200 miles, and every one lived. We do not, however, encourage such late
planting.
_ For an order of trees or shrubs requiring either a box or bale over three feet in length, we are obliged
tc charge at cost. Most trees and shrubs go by express in strong burlap bales, and they go very nicely
this way. These bundles or bales being lighter than boxing, the express is less. Bales over three feet in
length are charged for according to size from 15 cts. to 75 cts.; occasionally a very large bale will cost more.
' Trees or shrubs sent with roots done in balls of earth in burlap cost more by express, on account of
ths extra weight, but are surer to live. We can ball any of the shrubs or small trees for ro to 25 cts. extra,
according to size, if customers order them sent this way. All shrubs or trees with ball of earth must be

, I am inclined to believe that shrubs and trees of the deciduous class may be transplanted with success
mich earlier in autumn than is generally supposed. I do not advise transplanting before the growth has
ceised, but as soon as all growth is done, and before the leaves fall, I think transplanting can be done, and
I ¢o not consider it necessary to remove all the leaves. In fact, I believe that a part of the foliage left on
tht shrubs or trees is beneficial, and will aid them in making a root-growth, which would not occur after
thty are removed. I have had quite as good reports from this class of plants shipped with foliage all on
as when sent late, after all leaves had been removed by frost.

FLOWER SEEDS
Select List of Sweet Peas
Too much cannot be said in favor of this much-prized flower.
Its culture is very simple, and if the
white-seeded sorts are not sown before the ground is comparatively dry, there is little chance of failure.
Sow in new ground as early as may be, so that a fairly good start can be made before hot weather.
