Ree plants grow a little
taller, bloom a little
longer, flower a little more pro-
fusely. We must give much of
the credit. for them to the
hardiness they get from the
soil and sunshine of our little
Vermont Valley, though special
care in selection for propaga-
tion, proper attention to soil
conditions, cultivation, and
fertilization adds much to their
superiority.

Garden pictures like this one
come a little easier for the
flower-lover who uses plants
bred to be truly REGAL, the

kings and queens of any

earden.

TWO REGAL PERENNIAL COLLECTIONS OF RARE VALUE

Fall is the ideal time to plant perennials. In late August or early September, the Spring- and Summer-
blooming plants are making root-growth for next year’s flowering. These two selections are true “‘pictures,”
chosen for their range of color, height, and form. Bought singly, they would be fifty per cent more expensive.
No substitutions, please, at these special prices.

Get Full Bloom a Whole Year Sooner—

Save from 25 to 50 Per Cent —with Fall Planting

The plants listed in this folder,are the very same ones we will be shipping next Spring (with the exception

of the Peonies and Spring bulbs, which must be planted now).

In your garden through the Fall and over the

Winter, they can be storing up energy, spreading out their roots, getting firmly established, ready to pay
you extra dividends of bloom and fragrance as a result.

Summer and Fall are ideal for planting, too, because you can plan for your garden with it spread out
before you in full growth. There’s no question of “remembering” what you need—you can actually see the

holes that need filling or the pictures that need com

pleting.

FALL PRICES ARE LOWER

We offer many collections in the Fall at prices
that can save many dollars in building or maintain-
ing your garden. It is not simply that digging the
plants is easier and better. Everything about Fall
shipping saves us money.

The season is longer, we are not so rushed. It is
actually easier to ship. Our stock is usually com-
plete on all varieties. Frequently we have a surplus
of some varieties that we offer at extra-special
savings. (See the prices on our Peony Collections
this year.)

We reflect all those savings in the prices in this

list.

And this year we believe prices are lower for

our plants and bulbs than we will be able to make
them for many years to come.

ALL PRICES ARE NET

Peonies, and all Collections must be shipped

Express Collect.

On all other plants or bulbs we

will prepay postage or Express, as you prefer, if
10 per cent 1s added to the price of the plants and
bulbs In your order. Add 20 per cent for points
West of the Mississippi. This covers both shipping
cost and special packing. If no shipping method is
specified, we will ship Express Collect.

Thirty- Two IRIS Selected for Your Garden

There are literally thousands of Iris varieties
grown today. Many of them vary so slightly
that none but the veriest professional can dis-
tinguish between them. We cannot grow them
all, and we make no pretense of attempting to grow
more than a truly representative list of types.

This is our selection of the best of each color
pattern. Many of them may be purchased at a
considerable saving in a collection.

Our Greatest Favorites —LILIES and DELPHINIUM

There is something about the whole Lily family,
with its vivid colorings and its creamy whites, that
no other group of flowers can quite equal. They look
well in occasional masses, or as part of garden groups
with other plants that best show them off.

Our Regal bulbs are grown to bloom strongly and
profusely. They may be planted in the Spring, of
course, but for bloom ane year they should be
planted this Pee: Planted together as a collection,
or separated by varieties, they make a handsome
garden picture.

For Your REGAL Garden

Add Regal Lupines and Regal Delphiniums to
the Regal Lily (Lilium regale)—there is a garden
picture!

The Lilies contribute their white, soft yellow, and
creamy pink. Delphiniums add their giant spikes of
mostly double flowers from the pink shades through
to dark blue. And the Lupines bring their varied
shades, even to yellows, bronzes, and the bicolors.
