Hbout Ourselves.
O UR nursery has been built, up rapidly from a small beginning. The increasing appre¬
ciation and demand for the many beautiful hardy trees and other hardy plants which
endure in our climate from year to year and produce permanent results, both econom¬
ical and artistic, has resulted in a steady demand for carefully grown hardy stock.
Seemingly the whole country has awakened to realize what great opportunities abound on
very side for the creation of greater beauty. Practically every city and commonwealth
aow has its developing parks and parkways, and the large proportion of the people individ¬
ually are taking an active interest in evolving beautiful gardens and otherwise surrounding
their homes with the many expressions of beauty and trees and other hardy plants neces¬
sarily take a prominent part..
It is, of course, the enduring trees and other enduring (hardy) plants that must neces¬
sarily be used for these permanent improvements. There is now such a great variety avail¬
able at a well equipped Nursery to select from that the material for no end of charming
schemes can be supplied. This has come about by ransacking the entire world for the many
country’s most beautiful trees and plants. Japan alone furnishes a most fascinating avail
able collection, and all the temperate zones, both north and south, have contributed their
full share.
Careful testing for many years is fast proving the most desirable kinds, and it is our
practice to keep in touch with the latest information, and our customers get the benefit
of it.
In working up our stock which the catalogue describes, we have constantly studied the
^.nterest of the buying public, and the stock herein listed can be depended on to be not only
representative as to assortment, but has been most carefully grown under most favorable
conditions, and with our splendid facilities for handling the business cart of the work, cus¬
tomers can feel assured of prompt and courteous treatment, and to receive stock which will
be a source of entire satisfaction to both buyer and seller.
Specimens for Immediate 6ffect.
At the nursery we give special attention to growing into large sizes many kinds of bruit
and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs. Vines, etc., for bv their use much quicker results can be
obtained than by the use of smaller stock. Many instances, occur where the purchaser gladly
pays the additional charge for such stock over the usual sizes.
Particular attention is called to our large collection of specimen Evergreens, ready for
immediate effects. The number of these specimen plants is always more limited than of the
smaller grades. A visit to the nursery is desirable where the selection of individual speci¬
mens is required. However, bv sending us a description of what is desired we can make
selections which will be perfectly satisfactory when a personal visit is not practical) e.
planting and General Gardening.
Connected with the nursery are experienced men who thoroughly understand Forestry
°rK. including pruning of trees, etc., also those who can carry out garden plans in a
„ JT ct wor kmanlike manner. We can arrange for a number of contracts each season
. would advise parties who anticipate availing themselves of this service to consult wit -\
as tar in advance as possible.

Deciduous t>ees.
L OVERS of the beautiful in nature, mostly feel a
reverence for her stately trees. They are the
higher forms of vegtation, many of them devel¬
oping into majestic proportions, their great trunk and
arching limbs supporting a wealth of delicate foliage,
every line a line of grace and beauty. What a refin¬
ing pleasure to be so situated that one can be sur¬
rounded by these noble expressions of nature, and
what a study for one in observing, from day to day
and year to year, the little sapling, seemingly no dif¬
ferent from many other surrounding forms, slowly
and surely gaining in size and development, until
finally it reaches the grand proportions that makes it
the monarch.

Beautiful jVIaples.
S a shade and ornamental tree the Maple is to-day one of the most popular,
the Sugar, Norway, Silver, Sycamore, Ash-leaved and Japan Maples all
being very desirable in their many ways. We wish to call special attention
to the following, as we believe them to be worthy of special notice.
Red or Scarlet jVIaple (Acer Rubrvm.)
Just why this beautiful native maple of the Eastern States is not more generally appre¬
ciated we cannot imagine. Of medium growth, compact and shapely in form, and perfectly
hardy, it makes a most valuable lawn and avenue tree. The silvery gray color of the bark,
the early bright orange red showy flowers before the leaves expand, the graceful foliage
changing to such intensely brilliant autumnal shades, are all features to commend this
tree It is also long lived, will thrive on almost any soil and exposure.
For prices see page 4.
Scbwedler's Hmber-leaved Norway JVIaple
This splendid variety originated in Europe some years ago and will be very popular
in this country as soon as better known.
The ordinary form of the Norway Maple, of which this is a variety, is to-day a strong
competitor for popular favor with the native hard or sugar Maple, it has so many merits
to recommend it. This deep amber-leaved form (Schwedler’s) has all the merits of the type
together with this special feature of its beautiful foliage which, when it first develops in
the Suring is the most intense amber red imaginable, slowly changing as the season ad¬
vances to a deep rich green much the same as the copper beech.
We cannot too strongly recommend this beautiful tree where a mass of brilliant color
is wanted through the Spring and early Summer and at the same time desire it in the form
of a Maple tree. It will thrive almost anywhere and is very suitable for planting near the
seashore.
For prices see page 4.
Currier's Cut-leaved Silver jVIaple X )asycarpum var. Turaerii.
This new tree originated here at the nuisery some years ago, appearing among a block
of several thousand seedlings. It first attracted our attention by its very interesting deeply
laciniated or fern-like foliage, which was in marked contrast to its neighbors. It was later
removed to a favorable spot where it had a chance to develop and where we could watch
it. Since then it has developed rapidly (for the Silver Maple is one of our fastest growing
shade trees). The tree has a fine symmetrical habit, its outer branches are somewhat spread¬
ing while the young bark, stem and mid-rib of the leaf are of a most brilliant crimson.
We consider it a most distinct variety and as a specimen tree it surely is an acqui¬
sition.
We have worked up a nice stock of the Maple and offer the following sizes.
For prices see page 6.
"Cwo Japan JVIaples.
Ihese are charming shrub-like trees and a great number of varieties come to us from
Japan. The following two we believe to be the most striking and the best for general
garden planting in this climate.
purple jfapan JMaple (Broad Leaf Upright.)
This variety produces an upright plant with broad handsome leaves of the most intense
°od-red when they unfold in the Spring time, hold a deep maron red all the summer, and
again bec °me intensely brilliant in the fall.
For prices see Acer Polymorphus (garden varieties ), page 4.
purple ^apan jVIaple (Cut Leaf Weeping.)
is s ^ n °l ; ' ler m °st interesting variety with a spreading limb weeping habit and whose foliage
simi°a m ' nUte ' y ^' ssecte< ^ as to give the plant a very graceful fem-like appearance. Foliage

N O rare exotic has greater beauty
of growth, bloom or Autumn
coloring than our native white
flowering Dogwood. In the last of
May its showy bloom lends its own
peculiar charm to our woodland bor¬
ders and an occasional isolated tree or group of them will stand out boldly
and command our admiration. This Dogwood will thrive under the great¬
est variety of exposures and soil conditions and is hapov in the association
of other trees.
four Distinct XTypcs of Dogwood.
White Flowering. This is the native form as we see it in the woodlands and occasionally
in plantings and is certainly very attractive. We anticipate a much more genera] use
of it in the future, many now using it freely along drives and woodland borders as
well as for specimens, as several orders for them by the hundreds within the past two
seasons indicates. We have succeeded in getting up a fine lot of this valuabue tree to
offer for this season. For pnci ■ page 8.
F'owering. This is a very marked variety of the native white dogwood. In habit
it is very similar to the type but produces in the greatest quantities blooms whose
showy involucres are deep rosy red, making a splendid display, either by themselves
or if planted so as to contrast with the other forms, the effect is often very beautiful.
For prices see page S.
Pink Flowering. This is an intermediate form as to color, the habit being very like the
preceding. The color is a clear soft pink when in bloom and where the three are
planted so that their contrasting colors can be enjoyed, the effect is splendid. This
form originated here at the Nursery and we are not aware that it can be procured else¬
where. For prices see page 8.
Weening White F’owering. Another and a most interesting form of this desirable tree.
While the central stem inclines to grow upright, the branches all hang down, form¬
ing of the whole plant a very unique effect. It is most effective where it stands alone.
For'prices see page 8.

MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA.
6arly flowering JVIagnolias.
N O more highly ornamental class of trees and shrubs exist than the Magnolia family.
This is especially true of those known as the Asiatic species, which bloom before the
leaves appear in the spring. Everyone is familiar with the large cup-shaped pink
and white fragrant blooms which suddenly envelop the plant and fill the air with a delicate
fragrance before we are hardly aware that spring has really arrived. There are a number
of species and varieties varying in color, form, and time of blooming, from the bush-like
Stellata with its very white and many-petaled bloom, to the more sedate and stately Lennei,
blooming a month later, producing great cup-shaped, deep rosy red flowers. Our stock
of the following kinds is very fine and most of them will take up and transplant with large
balls of earth. When handled in this way we believe practically no loss should result.
STELLATA OR HALLEANA, sometimes known as the Star-Magnolia. It is a shrub
seldom reaching a height of fifteen feet. Plants but a foot high will often bloom profusely.
It is the first strictly hardy magnolia to bloom in the spring and its dainty but showy pure
white flowers of delicate fragrance are always welcome.
For prices see page 11.
LENNEI. The latest of the class to bloom and the flowers are the largest and of a deep
rose red on the outside of the petal, inside a rosy white. This is one of the most effective
°t the magnolias and has the additional value of blooming at intervals throughout the sum¬
mer.
For prices see page 10.
SPECIOSA. Much lighter in color and some larger than Soulangeana, blooms at about
the same time.
For prices see page 10.

A N observer will quickly note the importance of Evergreen Trees in the landscape. Their
forms are strong in outline and the color and texture of their foliage is rich and
beautiful. It is, however, in the winter season that their charms are most conspicu¬
ously displayed. At this season the dark rich greens and bronzes of their foliage lend a
richness to the landscape and so often form a delightful background for the gray trunks
and branches of other trees which stand out in bold relief, or perhaps a clump of richly
colored berry-laden bushes which owe much of. their effectiveness to such a background.
Again, Evergreens if properly used can be made to serve for a windbreak, very much
modifying the effects of extreme cold and the force of the wind, consideration for bleak sit¬
uations, combining opportunities for beauty and economy.
We have a fine lot of Evergreens; all have been transplanted and have a splendid
system of roots. All possible care will be taken to dig carefully and avoid any exposure, for
we know full well that exposure of the roots of evergreens is dangerous.
Prices here noted are for carefully grown stock, in most instances so as to develop the
individual characteristics of each plant. We also have a fine lot of specially trained speci¬
mens, so trimmed as to create quite formal effects. The prices of these trained specimens
will depend upon the merit of each individual plant, and we will gladly quote prices when
requested.

Native Hmerican Evergreens.
T HE following five Evergreens have become famous not only in our own country, but
abroad, for their exquisite beauty. These Evergreens are perfectly suitable for planting
throughout the east, doing much better than most of the European evergreens which
have been so freely used in the past, and are likely to largely supercede them in the near
future for general planting. They will thrive in almost any location where the ground is
well drained and will stand the most severe exposure.
Colorado Blue Spru CC—Picea Pungens.
Perhaps the most popular evergreen now planted in the east and the demand, especially
lor the blue specimens, is equal to the supply. We have a large stock of medium-sized
trees, all several times transplanted and manv of them of very fine color. For prices see

Sweet evergreen “pink Daphne"
W E have succeeded in getting up a large stock of this rare evergreen hardy Daphne,
which excels the arbutus for fragrance. It is a most beautiful evergreen, low-growing,
spreading shrub, and in June, when in the glory of its first blooming (see illustra¬
tion), it would be hard to find its rival for beauty or fragrance. It blooms freely at intervals
all summer, even late into the fall, and will grow almost anywhere, thriving best in full
sunlight. Splendid for foreground work and rockeries, where good generous masses can be
made to produce charming effects. Blcms freely the first season planted.

Garden Lilacs.
T HE rapid strides which have been
made in the improvement of the
Lilac by a number of persistent
specialists is truly wonderful. European
firms offer several hundred varieties and
about all of them have been thoroughly
tried at the Arnold Aboretum at Boston,
as well as a number of other places in

wide range of color and form there now
is to select from.

ftardy Rydrangea
; Paniculata var.
Grandiflora.)
T HERE is no more popular shrub to-day for our gardens and lawns than this
plant. Not only of the easiest culture and thriving under a great variety of
conditions, but it can be used in so many ways effectively. As a single plant
standing alone it can be trained into a fine specimen. Grown in masses by itself
it is often very effective, and for grouping in combination with other tiees ana
shrubs it is many times very satisfactory. It takes kindly to being pruned and if
one wishes to keep the growth low, an annual cutting down seems not to injure
the plants. As it is in its greatest beauty in August and September when few
showy shrubs are in bloom, this feature lends an additional value to it. V\ e grow
this Hydrangea in large quantities, especially the small and medium sizes.
For other Hydrangeas and prices see page 24.
fern-Leafed Sumach (Rhus UypbtnaVar. Lactmata.)
T HIS remarkable variety of our native stag-horn sumach was found on
the hills of Vermont. It has the same rapid robust growth of the
common form, producing the same showy cones of bright red f rui >
but, as the illustration below will show, the leaves are so beautifully formed
that they rival the most delicate fern in their intricacy. For massing wit
other effective foliage shrubs the effect can be very striking. It can also be
cut to the ground each season if desired and a mass of the most beautitu
ioliaee will result. This shrub will thrive on the poorest of soils with a
sur, rising luxuriance. For prices see page 2?.

Che Roots of plants.
We seldom hear much said about the root system of a tree or plant,
in fact, if the top of the plant looks shapely, little is thought of it otherwise
by the usual buyer; but the fact is, its root system is an all important
feature in its economy. If a plant is to be transplanted successfully, it
is of. great importance that its roots have been suitably trained, and. this
applies especially to the larger trees and all evergreens. Appreciating
this, we regularly root prune our trees, resorting to various, ways of doing
this work, with the result that the stock we send out is in the best of
condition, both under and above ground, for successful transplanting.

See Illustration.
N OTHING finer than this Clematis has captured our gardens for many a
year. Its foliage is clean and glossy, and of a rich green. Its flowers
are delicate, star-like in form, and purely white, borne in large panicles
and fragrant to a degree that makes the bee a constant lover; it runs in
rampant fashion, growing from twenty to thirty feet in a season after the
rst bummer. The seed pods of this Clematis are very effective. It is of
t e easiest culture, and will thrive almost anywhere, and is free from disease
or insect troubles of any kind. Plant it for a porch or arbor vine, to clamber
over old walls or ledges of rock, to cover tree stumps; in fact, anywhere
w ere it is desired to grow a graceful and attractive vine. (See page 31 for
prices.)
Clematis f^lamula.
Clematis very similar to the above, but blooming several
weeks earlier, producing great masses of fleecy, pure white flowers
and attractive dark green foliage.

Rarely Rerbaceous plants.
A LL plants whose roots are hardy and remain alive from year to year and whose tons
annually die to the ground are classified under this heading. It includes such splendid
garden plants as 1 aeonies, Iris, Larkspurs, etc. The great ease with which these
plants can be grown and their great variety of color and form and season of bloom make
them indispensable for the garden. Of late years, there has been a steadily increasing de¬
mand for this class of plants as well as a great improvement in the varieties so that they
now make an important feature in the business of many nurserymen. We are making these
a specialty at the nursery, growing them in large quantities out in the open fields under the
most favorable conditions. The classification is the one adopted by Prof L IT Bailey in
the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture.

fa r< *y Chrysanthemums pompons.
T HAT we can greatly prolong the season of brilliant color so acceptably in the garden by
using these hardy Chrysanthemums naturally makes them very popular.
Ihese Garden Pompon varieties have their own personal attractiveness quite as
P roi | 0 u nce d in their way as the larger green-house sorts. We have collected an assortment
of these hardy kinds which gives a great range of color and form. The plants we offer if-
given good culture will bloom freely the same season they are planted. It is well to select
a place for planting these chrysanthemums where there is some shelter from the north
winds, such as the south side of a building, hedge or fence.

A Bouquet of Rudbeckia Golden Glow as a Screen Decoration.
Golden Glow (Rudbeckia Lacimata, f l. pi.)
N OTWITHSTANDING that this fine hardy garden plant has been offered but for a few
years, it is now generally known throughout the country and the demand for it has been
very large each year. It, however, is so valuable for so many uses that we have worked
up a large stock ol’ it for this season.
In July and August the plant becomes a mass of brilliant golden yellow flowers
much resembling a fair chrysanthemum, and produced on graceful stems. As a garden
plant for backgrounds, or for planting for a screen-like effect along walls or fences it is
splendid and will grow well in partial shade. As a cut flower it is very fine, good gener-
ous bunches with long stems can be arranged most effectively. Some plant a good lot
of it in the garden just to have it in plenty for cutting. The plants we offer are large enough
to bloom freely this season, especially the larger ones.
For prices see page 34.
JMonarda Didyma, Var. Bupcrba.
A SLENDID variety of the old fragrant Bee-Balm with all the old sort’s vigor and
freedom of bloom, the flowers, however, being much larger and of a deeper color.
For massing in good generous clumps nothing can produce a more charming effect dur¬
ing August and September, the flowers being of the deepest crimson and in such great
freedom as to make a striking appearance. It is also delightfully fragrant. If the ground
is well enriched plants set out this Spring will produce a profusion of bloom this Summer.
For prices see page 34.
Double Lychnis Vtscarta (Bplcndens).
P RODUCES clumps of bright evergreen foliage close to the ground from which spring
numerous spikes from one to two feet high in June, producing dense heads of deep

and are quite agreeably fragrant. One of the most showy of the perfectly hardy garden bor¬
der plants. For prices see page 34.

ftardy Candytuft3^^ pcrvirens -
O NE lias but to look at the above attractive illustration to see that this
hardy Candytuft is most happily adapted to the rock-garden. It is
equally effective in the hardy border.
The plant forms spreading clumps of beautiful evergreen foliage
not unlike the hardy Daphne. This foliage effect is interesting the entire
year. Its season of bloom is in April and May, being among our very early
flowers, and is of the purest white imaginable, remaining for weeks.
For prices see page 34.
Lily of the Valley - - iinim
I T may seem strange for us to call special attention to such a well-known,
plant, but we feel -warranted in doing so, for the reason that we are
certain that its freer use should be encouraged. One is not satisfied with
a few flowers of this fragrant old favorite, but wants to be able to pick great
bunches of them. It is equally true that as a garden plant, its most effec¬
tive use is in great masses so as to get a liberal effect of the spikes of flowers
among the young pale green leaves. As it thrives under almost all garden
conditions, even under the shade of trees, no garden is really complete

-THESE splendid garden plants have been
| favorites for years and are so hardy and
easily grown and produce such a bounti¬
ful display of beautiful flowers that they c
be considered one of the most important^'!
our garden plants. They are of easiest culture
requiring no special treatment, and will re ’
main for years, even enduring neglect and
produce regularly each year their fin e display
of blooms. The range of color and form ls
very great as well as their season of blooming
beginning with the hybrids of Pumila types as
early as April 25, extending well up into June
with some of the tall, late sorts.
Culture.
These Iris are of easiest culture, any' good
garden soil is all that is required. They will
grow well in partial shade but produce their
finest blooms in full sunlight. The best ef¬
fects aie produced where a number of plants
of a kind are planted near enough together so
as to give a generous mass effect.
transplanting.
Ins can be transplanted any season of the
year. The large sizes are recommended where
immediate effects are desired.

TfS splendid type of Iris is now consul-
I ered one of the most important of "
strictly hardy permanent garden plant"'
For effective habit and gorgeous display •
color it stands alone at its blossoming sea
son, which is June 20th to July 20th h ere at
the Nursery. German Iris have been g0 „ e
several weeks, Preonies have past, ni 0s t
Roses are beyond their best and in this grand
flower, just in its prime, we have opportuni¬
ties for special garden effects.
The plants form strong clumps of effective
narrow flag-like foliage, one to three feet
high, which remains bright and green all
summer. The flower stems are slender and
graceful, lifting the flower heads well above
the foliage, and several flower buds are pro
duced on a single stem. The flowers are
many of them ten to twelve inches in diam¬
eter and of the most exquisite combinations
of colors from the purest white through even-
possible range of color to the deepest blue
Japanese iris, blooms sometimes’measur- black, including many rosy shades, the richest
ing one foot across. of violets, royal purples, etc., and often so
■ . complicated are the markings on a single flow¬
er that a clear word description would be hardly possible. Most of the varieties
have a conspicuous rich deep velvety yellow splash at the base of each petal
•or segment, adding greatly to the richness of the color effect. The flowers are
referred to for convenience of description as double and single When both
the outer and inner segments are broad and flattened the flower is called double
When the outer three segments only are broad and flattened and the three
rnnei segments are upright and narrow, the flower is considered single While
the double varieties are in some instances gorgeous, many of the so-called single
■varieties are equally so and quite as desirable.
Cultivation.
these Ii is will thrive in any good garden soil, but respond quickly to extra
fertilizing, and while they don’t demand it to give good results, it is no doubt
a fact that they reach their highest development where they can be watered free¬
ly just before and during the season of blossoming. We get most satisfactory
results at the Nursery, however, without this extra care.
Varieties.
„ ^ list °f varieties we believe to be as fine a collection as ever
otteied. Many of them are of our own importation direct from Japan. All
that we herein list have been under cultivation at the Nursery for several years,
and by thorough roguing at the blossoming season each year we believe that these
we offer are true to description.
Note.—I n the following description O. S. refers to the outer three seg-
men s 01 petals, I. S. refers to the inner three segments or petals.

CAROLINE MATHER is another splendid late crimson sort.
Choice Herbaceous Peonies.
T HE Pseony is to-day without a rival as a hardy garden favorite, and is quite
naturally so, as no hardy garden plant probably thrives with as little
special care and produces so fine a display of gorgeous blooms. The great
diversity of color and form which can now be obtained, very much' increases
the importance of this plant. We have a great number of the new varieties on
trial in our testing grounds, and feel confident that these we list represent the
cream of the lot to date. We have been so careful in the culture of these
plants that we have every reason to believe that they are true to name and de¬
scription.
Culture.
Any good garden soil is suitable for Pseony culture. While they undoubt¬
edly thrive most luxuriantly in full sunlight, they will do very well under partial
shade of trees provided they have sufficient nourishment. Those who anticipate
maximum results will do well to thoroughly enrich the ground by digging it
over to a depth of at least eighteen inches and putting in a good supply of well-
rotted manure. It is safe to say that the conditions which would be favorable
to the vigorous growth of rose plants will give the best results with the Psony.
A liberal top dressing of coarse manure is very beneficial applied in the late fall.

ADAM’S NEEDLE. Perfectly hardy in exposed locations.
Yucca f Uamentosa (Hdam’s JVeedle.)
T 'HE only strictly hardy member of this interesting class of decorative plants, and it is
really one of the most attractive of the order. The above illustration, taken at the
Nursery this past summer, gives a good idea of the airy effectiveness of the plants
when in full flower, where a number of plants are grouped together, after the plants are
well established, these flower heads often reach six to seven feet in height, bearing in great
freedom these pure white pendant lilies. Hardly a garden plan but where they can be ar¬
ranged effectively. The flowering season is July and August, a season of comparative
scarcity, of effective blooming garden material. As desirable a plant as this Yucca is in
bloom, it is only one of its good points, as its foliage is quite evergreen, remaining, even in
very exposed situations, unaffected in the severest weather, and as the character of its
growth is so very different from any other hardy garden plant we have, it always forms
a strong and pleasing contrast. Again, this Yucca thrives in very light sandy soil and can
be established in reeky dry places often with telling effect. For prices see page 34.

which shoots, in July and August, tall and stately spikts 3 to 6 feet high, bearing large
panicles of white lilies which are most picturesque and decorative. While a splendid
garden plant, it thrives equally well planted on the lawn or among shrubbery, and is
well suited to dry, sandy and sunny locations. We cannot too highly recommend this

The very hardy ferns that so effectively thrive in our shady woods will do equally well in
many a shady corner about the house and garden. Why not avail ourselves of these charming
plants ?
F)ardy ferns.
T HE demand for our interesting hardy native ferns for planting in the shady corner and
rockery has been steadily increasing for years, until now they are considered quite as
important as any class of hardy plants for gardening purposes. The varieties we offer
are especially recommended for gardens.
Botl for ferns.
Some of the stronger types will grow in almost any soil, but it is advisable to have the
ground well drained, with some sand and leaf mould mixed with the soil.
<£tber> to plant.
It is desirable to plant in early spring if convenient, but by cutting the fronds well
back they can be successfully set out anytime up to the first of September. Later planting
is not usually advisable, as the plants do not seem to thrive unless they make some top
growth before going to rest for the winter.

Hardy
Garden
Roses.
T HERE is no doubt as to the universal popularity of the rose. The fact that many of
the most beautiful of the varieties are perfectly hardy and thrive luxuriantly in the
garden is a source of congratulation to lovers of out-of-door gardening. Enthusiasts
at work with the rose, by various hybrids and crosses, have succeeded in producing no
end ot variety of form, color, and fragrance of bloom and the greatest variety of habit of
growth, trom the little fairy roses of a few inches in height to the rampant growth of the
well-known and popular ramblers. By a selection of suitable varieties one can have roses
tor almost any garden position.
All roses respond quickly to good treatment. By this we mean well enriched soil, enough
water, suitable trimming, etc. failure to get good results is often caused by lack of suf-
cient teitility. Under usual conditions it is well to make the ground one-fifth well rotted
manure to a depth of at least fifteen inches when preparing for a new planting with a lib-
' • .sprinkling of wood ashes and ground bone added, and an annual mulching of at least
ix inches deep of coarse stable manure about the roots applied late in the Fall and forked
■m, m the early bpring is a great help. Roses planted and treated under these conditions,
e ground is well drained, should luxuriate to such a degree as to satisfy everyone.

F RUIT growing on a large scale is one of the country’s profitable in¬
dustries and in old New England large tracts of country are now
being rapidly put into orchards, which only a few years ago were
practically abandoned as worthless. It is probably true that no part of our
country offers an opportunity to grow better flavored or colored fruits,
especially apples and peaches, than the New England hills,
k ^ le lar ge profits from peach orchards within the last few years are well
nown. In a smaller way the home acre, yes, even the small city garden,

BRIGHTON (Red). Bunches large and well
formed; berries medium to large, of good
flavor and quality. An excellent early
grape, ripening with Delaware.
CAMPBELL'S EARLY (Black), see illustra¬
tion, page 61. This superb new grape is
fulfilling the promises made for it re¬
markably well. It forms large and hand¬
some clusters thickly set with large
round berries. Flavor is rich, sweet and
delightful. The clusters ripen very early.
CATAWBA (Red). This excellent table and
wine grape has round berries; when fully
ripe they are a dark copper color.
CONCORD (Black). The fine market leader,
with large, handsome clusters of large,
luscious berries. Entirely hardy, produc¬
tive and reliable; succeeds well over a
great extent of country.
EATON (Black). So large in both cluster
and berry as to be very showy.
DIAMOND (White). This handsome and
valuable grape is a seedling of Concord
has the same sturdy qualities of vine!
and ripens its fruit several weeks earlier!
One of the best of recent introductions.
NIAGARA (White). Its clusters are large
and handsome, compactly filled with
large berries and having a thin but
tough skin. Flesh is slightly pulpy,
tender, sweet and delightful. Ripens
with Concord.
POCKLINGTON (White). Clusters and ber¬
ries large, light golden yellow when fully
ripe; sweet and tender, with little pulp.
Ripens after Concord.
WORDEN (Black). This seedling of Concord
is larger than the type in bunch and
berry, of better flavor, earlier, as hardy
and healthy in every way, producing fine
crops. A very superior grape.

Strawberry plants.
I T is surprising what a quantity of luscious
berries can be picked from a garden patch of
strawberry plants. One who enjoys fresh ber¬
ries, direct from the garden, with their delicious
flavor, rich aroma, and beautiful color, needs no
argument to convince him that they are far
superior to berries obtained in the market. Straw¬
berry plants are of easiest culture, requiring only
usual garden conditions. Plants set out this
Spring will, by another season, have formed solid
rows, and produce a full crop. Set plants for
garden culture in rows from one to two feet
apart and the plants in the rows from six to
twelve inches apart, depending on the method
to be used in cultivating.
We have many new varieties on trial, but offer
below only such varieties as we believe are sure
to give general satisfaction.
Varieties marked (P.) are pistillate ; (S.) staminate.
Every fifth row or about every fifth plant in the
row should be a staminate variety to get the heaviest
yield of fruit.
Selected List of Sflell tweeted
Varieties.
Brandywine. (S) Of immense size, firm, solid
and shapely. Flesh red to the core and de¬
licious. Of remarkable vigor. A grand berry
for either the home or market.

fruit, which is large and showy, ripening mid¬
season.
Gandy. (S) The leading late variety. Very ro¬
bust habit. Fruit large and firm, and of good
quality.
Glen Mary. (P) Enormous bearer of very lus¬
cious fruit. Color glossy crimson. An ideal
berry for the home or market.
Haverland. (P) A fine grower, very productive.
One of the leading early market sorts. Ber¬
ries uniform, long, medium size and quality.
Lester Lovett. (S) See illustration. A giant in
growth and extra late. Quality of a high,
rich flavor, and with a delightful aroma. Late.

ored, delicious fruit. Ripening in mid-sea-
son.

fertilizers,
O NE can well afford to be quite certain that their growing trees, other
plants and lawns are well supplied with plant food. There are many
ways of supplying the soil with fertilizing material. For economy and
good results we recommend the following:
Sheep failure,
A Safe and Convenient Fertilizer for
Lawns, Gardens and Greenhouses.
This is dry and finely pulverized, easy
to handle and highly nutritious. Its
effects are immediate and lasting. Foi
lawns apply on the surface broadcast ioo
pounds to the 1000 sq-. ft.; for the garden,
two to three times this amount, de¬
pending upon the soil. There is no
better fertilizer than this for roses, either
in the garden or the greenhouse and the
lawn responds quickly. There is no need to
cover ones lawn with offensive looking and
bad smelling stable manure when better re¬
sults as well as for more economical results can be easily gained by the. use of
either sheep manure, wood ashes or ground bone.
Prices':' 5 lbs., $0.35; 10 lbsi, $0.50; 100 lbs., $2.50; ton, ,$25.00.
Sdgewood Brand Canada f)ard-C£lood.
Gnleacbed Hsbes.
A S a good all-round fertilizer, our Edgewood Brand Canada Unleached
Hard-wood Ashes, have unchallenged value. For lawns, for fruit and
ornamental trees and plants, they are superior to manure in many
respects. They carry no weed seeds, are entirely odorless, are clean, easy
to handle and spread. The beneficial effect resulting from the use of our
brand is immediate and the marked improvement in health and vigor is
readily seen.
Besides a good proportion of Potash and some Phosphoric Acid, both
valuable plant foods, our Canada Unleached Hard-wood Ashes contain a
liberal amount of Wood Lime. This latter element is especially valuable
in renewing and sweetening land which has become stiff and sour from the
too frequent application of stable manure, or from other causes.
Spread evenly from one to two tons to an acre,, according to the con¬
dition of the soil, or, for small lawns, 100 to 150 pounds to 1000 square feet
of sod.
Prices: We put them up in 50 and ioo-pound bags: SO pounds for
$1.00; 100 pounds for $1.50; 200 pounds for $2.00; one ton, $18.00, including
bags. Even less prices on car-load lots in bulk or bags, given on application.
Ground Bone.
T HIS is for general fertilizing purposes and valuable on the lawn, meadow
or in the garden. The finer particles are immediately beneficial, the
coarse keeping up the supply of plant food for a long period. Price,
■six pounds, 25c.; twenty-five pounds, 75c.; per-one-hundred-pound bag, $2.50;

Lawn Grass Seed.
W E offer only the best grade of grass seed the market affords, and as you will note,
offer it by weight. The old way of selling seed by bulk measure was at best very
unsatisfactory to the purchaser. Modern recleaning machines now make possible the
removing of much of the chaff and foreign matter, so that seed so treated is very much
heavier for the same bulk. It is therefore necessary to read the following table of quantities to
use, olhcnvise you are in danger of buying more seed than is required. A pound of our cleaned
seed contains more grass seed than two quarts of many grass-seed mixtures pul up in the chaff
avd sold by the quart.
Quantities to Use of the following Mixtures:
1 pound package for 400 square feet. 25 pound bag for one-fourth acre.
5 pound package for 2,000 square feet. 50 pound bag for one-half acre.
10 pound bag for 4,000 square feet. 100 pound for one acre.
15 pound bag for 6,000 square feet.
