GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 3 Splendid Peonies—" Aristocrat of Flowers Hardy Everywhere THE wonderful improvements made during recent years in these old-fashioned hardy plants has brought them into renewed popularity. The gorgeous flowers, which rival the finest Roses in size, form, and color, are produced in great abundance. After once being planted they require little care and attention, thrive anywhere, and are abso- lutely hardy even in the coldest climates ; each year after planting they grow into greater value, producing more and more flowers. They are not troubled with insect pests. Try some of my fine Peonies, and see what grand flowers they are. Get it out of your head that there are only Red, White, and Pink Peonies to illustrate at flowering time. People who visit our field will say, “I have Pink and White Peonies. I desire only Red ones,” but when they are shown the Pink and White, they invariably exclaim, ‘‘How grand! I have none like them.” There is as much difference in Peonies as there is in Roses.

This book describes over two hundred of the choicest kinds. If you want information on the plant that stands next to the Rose in beauty, that is practically known to the amateur as simply a red, white, and pink Peony, then send today for “Peonies for Pleasure.” Time to Buy Peonies During the Fall Season The proper time to buy and plant Peonies is from September 1st until the ground freezes up. The plants I offer are field-grown divisions with two to five or more eyes, commonly known as one-year plants. For Peonies, both old and new varieties, not named in this Catalogue, see “Peonies for Pleasure.” Write today for it. NOTICE Peonies start growth very early, even in cold storage they will send forth their crimson shoots. When this occurs they are unsafe to ship and must be planted at once or I lose them.

This took the sweepstakes prize at the New York show in 1917 for the best flower in the show over all comers. It is peculiar in its ' shape, the petals are some short and som1 long ; and placed in such a way as to give the im- pression of a five-pointed star. A most won- derful variety. Stock is very scarce. $15.00. 542— JUDGE BERRY. (Brand, 1907.)

(Kelway. 1902.) Here I have a beauty, in fact I have no hesitancy in saying that “Lady Alex- . andra Duff” is the one outstanding Peony in my entire collection of over seven hundred va- rieties. That is to say, it has such great charm and beauty coupled with its many other good qualities a=; to stand out ahead of every known variety. When I say this I know exactly what I am saying. In the first place, every stalk grows upright, and it bears its flowers so that every single one looks at you. This is a most desirable quality. Evsry petal of every flower is three inches or up war Is across. The color is a charming shade of pink changing to white. There are many spurious kinds being sold. I guarantee my stock to be the true variety. I now have secured such a stock that I can sell at reasonable price. $10.00. 28— LADY LEONORA BRAMWELL. (Verdier, 1854.) This is a charming large, full, and exceedingly fragrant flower of perfect symmetrical form. The color is a delicate silvery-rose with lively pink center. 75 cents. 190 — LA FAYETTE. (Dessert, 1904.) The flowers are of great size, the color is a lovely shade of salmon pink with touches of heliotrope and a delicate tinting of cerise in the reflex.

THE BEST WAY TO GROW BULBS INDOORS Plant hyacinths in sandy soil, or make the soil porous with leaf mould secured from the woods. Plant the bulb bottom down, and push the bulb tight in the soil so that the top of the bulb is even with top soil. Use old four- or five-inch pots — never new pots if you can avoid it. There are shallow, wide pots, made to hold three or four bulbs ; they are satis- factory to plant in where only one variety is planted in a pot. Never feed the bulbs with manure — the power to flower is in the bulbs. A Hyacinth grown in water alone proves the truth of this. Give a good soaking after planting, and water once or twice a week if necessary during the time the bulb makes roots. Put the pots after planting— which should be done during September or October — in the ground, and cover the pot and all to the depth of three or four inches with soil. This is to prevent the roots from lifting the bulbs out of the pot. Or you can put them in the cellar where it is cool and dark. The idea is to have the bulbs kept cool and dark, so that the roots will start before the tops do. Cover up the ones outside with leaves or sawdust to the depth of six inches, as frost, if it reaches them, almost always results in injury to the flowers. After four weeks or so examine the roots, and see if they are down to the bottom of the pot ; then bring the ones you want to flower early into a dark place where the temperature is from fifty 1o seventy, but keep them dark by covering them up or placing them in a dark cupboard. They can be left out- doors or in the cellar if you do not want them so early, until the sprout is as long as a man’s finger. This brings them in later, but is the surest way to get fine flowers, as it is more natural than to force them quickly. When the sprouts have reached the length of a man’s finger they may then be exposed to the light. If brought to the light sooner the result will be that the top bells will open first, and then the flower is spoiled, for the top bells will be faded before the lower bells open. The sprouts are yellow by keeping covered, but that does not matter, as they turn green quickly when brought to the light. Tulips and Narcissus are treated the same as Hyacinths, except that when brought in from outdoors or the cellar they can be placed in the full light at once. Instead of pots you can use grape baskets. Diagram Shewing Depth and Distance Apart to Plant the Different Varieties of Bulbs. 10 MISS JESSIE M.

The Entire Set of Twenty-seven for $3.75. My patrons can rely on the Hyacinths in this list as being the very best of their colors. I have tested varieties from year to year and can guarantee satisfaction in any of the following kinds. You cannot possibly go amiss in your selection ot any or them. These varieties are equally good for planting outdoors or for forcing in the house in winter. ANGENIS CHRISTINA. Immaculate white; extra fine. ARENTINA ARENDSE. Pure white; early. AVALANCHE, “White Baron Von Thuyl.” Pure white. BARON VON THUYL. A grand shade of deep blue. BLANCHEUR A MERVILLE. Pure white; a great beauty. CARDINAL WISEMAN.

Five Beautiful Roman Hyacinths I wish to call special attention to these beautiful Roman Hyacinths, which are so valuable for early winter blooming. They are among the few flowers which can be had as early as Christmas and New Years. Each bulb throws up several spikes of flowers, which are very beautiful and fragrant, and when kept in a cool room will keep perfectly for weeks. Three can be planted in a four or five-inch pot, and will soon be in flower. In the garden they are the first of all Hyacinths to bloom. I offer extra large bulbs. The new double ones are exceedingly fine. Do not fail to plant a good lot of them for wintei\ CANARY YELLOW. Few novelties have come out recently which will in importance surpass this new yellow Roman Hyacinth. There is nothing to be said of it except it is like the common Roman white, except in color, which is a lovely shade of light yellow. 10c each; four for 35c. PINK. A grand new sort with enormous bright deep bells in large spikes. 10c each; 4 for 35c. SPECIAL OFFER. — For only 40c we will send one bulb of ei RED.

Mixed Hyacinths, for Bedding Out in the Fall These Mixed Hyacinths are used almost exclusively for bedding out in the fall on account of their cheapness. They are just as good colors and just as fragrant as the named varieties ; the difference is in the cost of keeping the named sorts separate, both while planting and after they are dug. The exact shades cannot be given, but the general outline of colors are kept separate, so that in ordering you know what color you are buying. 12c each, or the entire twelve choice colors for $1.35; any six for 70c.

GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO Early Flowering Double Tulips These Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and varied colors, shades, and markings, and being double, the flowers last much longer in bloom than single varieties, and in consequence when singles and doubles are planted in conjunction the “time of the Tulips” is greatly prolonged. Double Tulips are beautifully adapted for beds on the lawn, in the garden, and for mingling in clumps of half a dozen or more around the edge of shrubbery. They are robust growers and exceedingly effective. The early sorts do splendidly when grown in pots for winter blooming, but must be forced much slower than Single Early Tulips, by keeping them cooler. Price, 6c each, or the set of 27 distinct kinds of Double Early Tulips for $1.50. Those preceded with a star are the best varieties for forcing ALBA MAXIMA. Creamy white ; very desirable. COCKENILLE. Scarlet ; fine flower for forcing. COUNT OF LEICESTER. Yellow, flamed with red. Fine bedder. Flowers at the same time as La Candeur and Rex Rubrorum. DUKE OF YORK.

A great Tulip from any standpoint. MA COUSINE. Beautiful, rich violet, white edged.

The only real dark red double Tulip. Very rich and effective. QUEEN VICTORIA. Rich wine color. Very distinct. ROSE BLANCHE. Pure white. Splendid bedder. *ROSINE. A beautiful rich, clear pink. Fine forcer. *RUBRA MAXIMA. Dark velvety scarlet, immense large flowers. *ROSE LA MONTAGNE. (Rose of the Mountain.) Beau- tiful light pink, good flower, tall grower. REX RUBRORUM. Richest scarlet. Beautiful when planted among La Candeur to form designs of any description, as they grow of equal height and bloom at the same time.

White with cherry crimson, feathered. Extra fine. BLUE FLAG. Rich sky blue ; the only Tulip of this color. Early Flowering Single Tulips Those marked with a star are the best for forcing in the house, but all Tulips are fine for garden culture. Tulips are such universal favorites that it is scarcely necessary to expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease of culture, combined with beauty of form and gorgeous coloring, render them the most popular bulbs grown for spring bedding, and for winter flowering in the greenhouse and window garden they are incomparable. The Tulip is extremely hardy and of easy culture, flowering as freely in the shade as in the sunshine and producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more favored place. Double and Single Tulips, when associated together and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display than if either are separately planted. In gardens where the flower beds must be kept gay from the earliest day of spring, plant between the lines of Tulips, Scilla Sibirica, Chionodoxa Luciliae, Snowdrops, or Crocus, and as these flower first they can be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into bloom. The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate, and attractive colors than any other selection of spring flowering bulbs. The Single Tulip is extensively grown for indoor decorations, three or five bulbs in a pot. Price, 6c each; any Nine for 50c; the Set of 42 distinct varieties of Early Single Tulips for $2.35.

GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO Cottage Tulips — Late Flowering The Tulips belonging to this class owe their name to the fact that many of them have been found growing in gardens of country houses and cottages in England and France.

They are excellent bulbs, and will bear handsome blooms. Double and single col- lections are kept separate.

Fine both for garden, and those preceded by a star (*) for forcing indoors.

The pure white petals and gold cup of some varieties, the yellow with the orange cup of others, and the self whites and yellows, render them great favorites. Note* Polyanthus Narcissus, although not considered hardy have lived out for two winters in the vicinity of Boston with a slight covering of straw and leaves, producing much larger flowers, and more of them, than when grown in the house in pots. WHITE VARIETY. *PAPER WHITE (Totus Albus Grandiflora). This variety can be grown in water as well as in soil. Pure snow white flowers in clusters.

Half a dozen bulbs may be planted in a pot, and will make a very pretty show. For garden culture plant bulbs two inches deep and two or three inches apart. They are so cheap and pretty they ought to be found in every garden in abundance. They bloom splendidly when planted on the lawn among the grass. They lift their bright heads up through the sod very early, and give the lawn a charming aspect. The sorts I offer are especially strong and fine. Price, 4c; each; 45c per dozen; $3.25 per 100.

The bulbs are not nearly so large, but the trusses of flowers are of good size, making this a charming bulb for house culture. Grows in water, like the old variety. 10c each ; three for 25c; 75c per dozen. Try a Dozen and Be Delighted. The Chinese Sacred, or Oriental Narcissus A Variety of Polyanthus Narcissus. The “Shui Sin Far,” or Water Fairy Flower, Joss Flower, or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, bearing in lavish profusion chaste flowers of silvery white with golden yellow cups. They are of exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. It is grown by the Chinese according to their ancient customs to herald the advent of their new year and as a symbol of good luck. The bulbs are grown by a method known only to themselves, whereby they attain great size and vitality, insuring luxurious growth and immense spikes of flowers. In fact, the in- credibly short time required to bring the bulbs into bloom (four to six weeks after planting) is one of the wonders of nature. ‘‘You can almost see them grow,” succeeding almost everywhere with everybody. They do well in pots of earth, but are more novel and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough fancy pebbles to prevent them from toppling over when in bloom. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession of flowers throughout the winter. I am importing direct from China immense bulbs of the true large-flowering variety. Price, 25c each ; three for 65c. Jonquils Much prized for their charming large golden and de- liciously sweet-scented flowers, perfectly hardy and flowering very early in the spring ; also admirably adapted for winter flowering in the house — three to six bulbs in a four- or five- inch pot.

No description can do adequate justice to this beautiful plant. The flowers are two inches long and about the same in width, shaped like miniature Gladioli, and borne in clusters of six to ten on depressed horizontal scapes. The body of the flower is pure white, with lower segments spotted lemon yellow. The per- fume is most delicious, being a mixture of Mignonette, Violet, and Jasmine, and one plant is sufficient to perfume a large room without the overbearing perfumes of Hyacinths or Tuberoses. The plant has tooth-shaped bulbs and flat, spreading leaves. Its cultivation is the simplest, requiring only to be potted in October, to be watered sparingly at first, placed in a sunny window, and watered more as growth progresses. When out of flower, store in some place, and repot at proper season in fresh soil for an- other year's growth. 5c each; 50c per dozen. Lilium Giganteum THE TRUE BERMUDA EASTER LILY. This peerless Lily is the greatest acquisition to floriculture made in many years. Their profusion of bloom, the remarkably short time required to bring them into flower, and the certainty to pro- duce abundant bloom, and also the ease with which they can be manipulated to be flowered at any desired period, such as Christmas, Easter, and other special occasions, make them invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy white, of great sub- stance, and if cut as soon as they are open or partially open they can be kept for two weeks. A short time only is required to bring them into bloom. Bulbs potted in August can be had in flower in November if desired. A succession of bloom can be kept up from November to May by bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from cold frames at intervals during the winter. The quantity of bloom produced is marvelous. Blooming plants in pots form typical Easter offerings and presents, for decoration of window, table, house or church. As a garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely hardy except in Northern climates, where it requires a protection of leaves or litter to the depth of five or six inches. Price, 40c each; three for $1.00. * ! \ Lilium Giganteum — Bermuda Easter Lilies. Lilium Candidum LILY OF FRANCE OR “MADONNA LILY.” The old-fashioned pure white garden Lily, also known as Easter Lily, or Annunciation Lily. One of the hardiest. Flowers snow white, with heavy yellow stamens and sweetest fragrance. Blooms in June and July. It bears from five to twenty blossoms. This is the most decided variety we have in expressing its preference for a planting time. It must be planted in the early autumn to succeed well, as it makes its leaf growth at once after planting, and prepares itself for early flowering. The bulbs are sometimes kept in cold storage for spring sales, but never do quite so well. It should be planted in the fall. Customers will do well to plant a bed of twenty-five or more for a permanent bed or border. 40c each; three for $1.00. In Memoriam John M. Good, president of the Good and Reese Co., Florists, died February 16th, 1921. He was for more than forty years identified with the mail order plant business of the United States. Through his industry, his far-sightedness, his unflagging enthusiasm and love of his work, he aided in bringing together the largest and purest collection of roses and peonies in the world. Among all the vast number and variety of plants grown by his firm, these two were hi!s loves. For eleven years he watched over a seedling peony that he never saw bloom. This spring it blossomed into the most per- fect white peony ever seen. It has been named John M. Good. He was my eldest brother. MISS JESSIE M. GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 18 Tip CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES •• — 1 I here offer what is good in the new Tea and Hybrid Tea Roses. To have what is good you must try these Roses. They are the best that England, France, Ireland, Italy, Holland, and America can produce. Price, 25 cents each, except where noted. 1 HAVE NO TWO-YEAR-OLD PLANTS OF ROSES TO OFFER THIS FALL. I WILL HAVE THEM DECEMBER 1. CHARLES K. DOUGLAS. (H. T.) Bud large, long-pointed; flower large, full, double, sweet fragrance ; color, intense flaming scarlet, flushed, bright velvety crimson. Foliage, dark green ; disease resistant, vigorous, upright grower, produces an abundance of blooms from June to October. 50c each. COLUMBIA. (H. T.) This is a new American Rose, grown by the veteran rosarian E. G. Hill. It is a very vigorous grower of a true pink shade, deepening as it opens to glowing pink. A peculiarity of this variety is that the shades all become more intense until the full maturity of the open flower is reached, and this color is enduring. COLONEL OSWALD FITZGERALD. (H. T.) A brilliant rose. Its blood-red velvety crimson beautifully finished blooms are produced in great profusion on erect stems ; branching ; pure tea perfume. We have no hesitation whatsoever in describing this variety as excellent. Named in remembrance of Colonel Oswald Fitzgerald — a lover of roses — who perished with his chief. Lord Kitchener. 50c each. CORNELIA. Ophelia X Mrs. Aaron Ward. A splendid cross between these two well known Roses. Flowers are medium to large size and very double. The bud is a beautiful salmon pink. In the half expanded and full flowers the outer petals are light flesh, with the center a bright Malmaison pink; base of petals bright orange. A strong, vigorous grower with good stem and foliage. CRIMSON QUEEN. (H. T.) A very strong, upright grower, flower large and full. Color a rich bright velvety crimson. A grand garden Rose, as it is always in bloom. CRUSADER. (New.) A big, strong growing variety, ro- bust and rugged in every characteristic. The growth is heavy and the flower stem strong and heavy. It is free- flowering and the blooms are big and double and in color a rich velvety crimson. A free-flowering red Rose that is a wonder. 40 cents. EDEL. (H. T.) Type, Florence Forrester; bud, very large; flower, very large, double, well built, stately, opens well in all weather ; sweet fragrance. Color, white, with the faintest ivory shading toward base, passing to pure white. Foliage, bold and distinct ; very vigorous grower ; free bloomer. 50c each. FLORENCE FORRESTER. (H. T.) Clear snow white with a lemon tinge ; as the flowers age they become a pure white ; the blooms are even larger than Paul Neyron. Its habit is absolutely perfect, and the freedom with which it flowers is marvelous. I consider this Rose the grand- est of all whites for bedding. For size and substance has no equal among Hybrid Teas. Is very sweetly perfumed. Gold medal, National Rose Society. FRANK W. DUNLAP. (New.) Did you see it at the Inter- national Flower Show at New York the past spring ? Its record at the exhibition, winning silver medal for the best new pink Rose, gold sweepstakes medal for the best seedling in the show. Frank W. Dunlap was the finest flower in the exhibition. Claimed to be better than Mrs. Charles Russell. 40 cents. FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. (H. T.) It is very fitting that such a fine new Rose should be honored with the name of the author of the “Star Spangled Banner,” and also that it should hail from Baltimore, one of whose forts was being assailed when the inspiration came to the author to write our national anthem. The flowers are from large to very large, with sixty or more petals opening to a high center. The color is a magnificent deep red rose. Wher- ever it has been staged this Rose has swept all competitoi-s from the boards and secured every pi-ize it has entered for. Grand for the garden. GLADYS HOLLAND. (H. T.) Of magnificent form and size. Color buff, shaded orange yellow, outside of petals pearly peach. Very free flowering. Awarded a gold medal. National Rose Society of England. GLOIRE DES BELGES. (H. T.) Growth vigorous and free, flowering continuously until late in the season. Buds oval, long and of elegant foi*m with vivid colors of carmine and cochineal. Fine for massing and a fine cut flower. GOLDEN OPHELIA. This is a sturdy, stiff -stemmed grower, with beautiful foliage, quite closely set, and glossy. Tl^ flower is of medium size from a beautifully formed bud of bright golden yellow. Profuse bloomer. 50c each. GOLDEN SPRAY. (H. T.) Unique in habit and growth, it sends up long arching slioots which form gi-eat loose ele- gant sprays, every bud of which opens up in succession. The buds are very long, of deep Marechal Niel yellow, opening to almost single blooms of clear lemon yellow. Awarded gold medal. National Rose Society of England. GORGEOUS. Flowers large and full, exquisitely formed and produced in endless profusion. Deep orange yellow and heavily veined with reddish copper^ the most charming and gorgeous coloi’ing which has yet been introduced. The most striking Rose in existence. HADLEY. (H. T.) In color it is a deep Velvety crimson, i*etaining its brilliancy at all seasons of the year. The variety is double and buds ai'e well formed. The fragrance is excelled only by American Beauty. It is a strong, rapid grower, and the flowers ai-e borne on long, stiff stems. It has proven itself under thoi'ough trial to be an all-the- year-round forcing variety. H HOSIER BEAUTY. (H. T.) I use description of E. G. Hill Co.: “If you need a more profitable red Rose than the one you are growing, “Hoosier Beauty” is your variety. It is as fragi’ant as Richmond ; has more petals, a stiffer stem, a texture like velvet. In color, glowing crimson scarlet, with darker shadings. The bud is of good length, ships well in the clos%-cut state, and opens into a magnificent bloom, quite dazzling in velvety bril- liance. As soon as thoroughly established in the soil sends out long, stiff growths with a bud on every shoot.” HENRIETTE. (H. T.) One of the finest in existence for bedding, garden, and cut-flower purposes ; blooms erect on long stems ; buds long and pointed. Color fiery orange ci'imson, changing to soft coral salmon. Very hardy. Free in habit. MISS JESSIE M. GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 19 THE CREAM OF THE NEW ROSES-Continued. KILLARNEY BRILLIANT. (H. T.) The introducers are to be congratulated 16 years after the advent of Killarney in giving us this distinct novelty, which is undoubtedly the best of the Killarney type. Killarney Brilliant has the same habit of growth and the same freedom of bloom as its parent, while the flower is more double. The color is a very brilliant pink and varies like Killarney. In the garden in bright weather is clear pink, and in dull weather almost crimson. Extra. LADY PLYMOUTH. (T.) The color is a pearly, delicate but deep ivory cream, faintly flushed, giving it a most piquant finish that is difficult to describe. Awarded gold medal National Rose Society of England, and silver medal at Crystal Palace Show, London. LADY ROBERTS. (T.) The color is a rich golden yellow, very free bloomer and a grand garden Rose. I EGION. (H. T. * Bud, well shaped, globular; flower large, full, lasting cerise red throughout, fragrant ; foliage, large, glossy reddish green. Originally nam'd American Legion, hut name changed because objected to by association cf that name. 50c each. LOS ANGELES. (H. T.) Los Angeles is, by all odds, one of the finest Ro es ever introduced. The growth is very vigorous, and produces a continuous succession of long- stemmed flowers of a luminous flaro:-pink toned with coral and shaded with translucent gold at the base of the petals. In richness of fragrance it equals in intensity th ' finest Marechal Niel. The buds are long and pointed and expand into a flower of mammoth proportions, while the beauty of form and ever increasing wealth of color is maintained from the incipient bud until the last petal drops. 40c each. MADAME BUTTERFLY. (New.) Is Hill’s glorified sport of Ophelia. Seen and admired by thousands. All the color tones of Ophelia are intensified, making it a harmony of bright pink, apricot and gold. Ophelia ranks at the ton in popularity and Madame Butterfly will surpass it. It averages more petals to the bloom ; it produces more bloom to the plant because it makes more branches, every one carrying a bud. The tight buds are a lovely shade of Indian oak. yellow at the base; th^y are unique for cor- sages and for low table decorations; the opening flowers are perfect in form and texture, clear and brilliant in color and of delicious fragrance. 40 cents. MADAME MARCEL DELANNEY. (II. T.) A surprising beautiful novelty raised by the intx-oducers of the popular Rose Jonkheer J. L. Mock, and honored with the award of the Gold Medal of the Bagatelle Gardens at Paris, 1915. It is distinct and peculiar in color a pale soft pink or rose shaded with hydrangea pink. The flowers are very large, full, and fragrant, perfect in form, and borne on rigid stems. The growth is vigorous and very floriferous. MADAME COLLETE MARTINET. (H. T.) A vigorous grower of coppery orange color. The color is very deep and clear, and holds well, which can be said of few yellow sorts. It is a nice grower, free in bloom, and those want- ing a yellow different from “Ward” or “Sunburst” should try this one. MISS WILMOT. (H. T.) The most refined and charming Rose ever raised. There is an appealing sweetness about this most distinct variety that will please lovers of Roses all the world over. The color is practically a uniform soft sulphury cream, with the faintest flush towards the edges. In shane and form this Rose is a model of perfection, every flower comes perfect and produced with a freedom that is marvelous. A wonderful garden Rose. Gold medal, N. R. S. 40 cents. MR. P. L. BAUDET. (H. T.) Color carmine rose flecked with salmon yellow, center darker. Flowers large and full, vigorous in growth, continuous in bloom. A unique two- tone Rose. MRS. BRYCE ALLAN. (H. T.) Strong Moss-rose perfume. Color carmine rose. Flowers globular in form, very erect stems, deep green foliage. MRS. CHARLES BELL. (Pierson, 1918). This new Rose will appeal to those who grow Roses out of doors. It may be described as a shell pink Radiance, and is a sport of that well known Rose. It has no characteristics which make it distinct from Radiance except that it is shell pink. Mrs. Chas. Bell, Red Radiance and Radiance offer a range of color that will be welcome, and there are no finer garden Roses for America than these three. MRS. CHARLES RUSSELL. (H. T.) This wonderful new American Rose has taken the country by storm. No other forcing Rose except “American Beauty” can compete with it when it comes to counting points. Stems three feet long, stiff and sxxrmounted by grand rosy pink blooms of the largest size and build. 40 cents. MRS. CAMPBELL HALL. (T.) Delicate creamy buff, edged or suffused rosy carmine. Tim center of the bloom is warm cerise coral-fawn Very deliciously fragrant. Awarded gold medal, N. R. S. MRS. CURNOCK SAWDAY. (H. T. I A vigorous grower, with bright green foliage. The well shaped blooms carried erect on long stems are sweetly scented. The color is a pleasing shade of pale blush pink, a good garden rose in commerce. 50c each. MRS. HENRY WINNETT. (H. T.) This is a seedling raised by John H. Dunlap, of Canada, and has the distinction of being the first seedling Rose of Canadian origin that has been offered in commerce. In color it is a bright shade of crimson, not so dark as Hadley, and not so light as Richmond. It is a color that pleases the retail storeman and his patrons. The finest of all the red or crimson varieties. The buds are long and well formed. A superb red Rose. 40 cents. MRS. HENRY MORSE. (H. T.) Bud very large, long pointed, flower very large, high center, double, fragrant, color flesh cream ground with a sheen of bright rose, deeply impregnated and washed vermilion with clear ver- milion veinings on petals ; very vigorous grower, bearing an abundance of bloom. 50c each. MRS. JOHN COOK. White, suffused with delicate pink, describes the color of this strong-growing big-flowered daughter of Ophelia. The color varies with the season, the flush of pink being more pronounced during cool weather, while the Rose is almost white during the long days of bright sunshine. In bud it is nicely formed, Ihe mature flower opening cup-shaped but expanding fully to a large and finely-formed bloom. It is bigger and better ir. summer than White Killarney and, with its delicate pink in dark weather, is a very charming color. 50 cents. MRS. MACKELLAR. (H. T. ) The glorious blooms make this an imposing Rose. A deep citron or delicate pure canary color. As the large blooms gracefully expand the guard petals charmingly reflex and become pearly primrose white of great decorative beauty. Award of merit (unani- mous), R. H. S., London. MRS. S. K. RINDGE. This is, undoubtedly, the finest yellow rose we have. While it in some stages of development, as well as in growth, resembles Golden Emblem it is a stronger grower, and its rich chrome yellow flowers as they mature, become suffused with salmon pink. 50c each. NATIONAL EMBLEM. (H. T. ) Dark crimson, of perfect shape, habit, and inflorescence ; as a bedding, massing and cutting Rose it is unique. Buds long and pointed, opening to large, full, handsome flowers of great beauty, flowering freely and continuously. OPHELIA. Salmon flesh shaded with rose, large, and of perfect shape ; of excellent habit ; the flowers standing up well on long, stiff stems and produced in great profusion. Excellent for forcing and a fine decorative variety. Growth vigox*ous. Certainly a glorious Rose. Be sure to have “Ophelia” fixed in your memory. PILGRIM. (New.) In color, a beautiful shade of bright rose pink. The bud, which opens perfectly, is long and of ideal form. Pilgrim is a Rose of good substance and petalage, and at any stage of development is perfect in color and form of flower. Its pronounced tea fragrance will attract all Rose lovers. It is prolific and highly pro- ductive of first quality blooms. The stems are straight and strong. It is the pink Rose to grow. 40 cents. PREMIER. This is the long-looked for deep Rose for the garden ; a beauty, and one you will be pleased with. It is a very free bloomer, almost smothering the plant. The color is bright and attractive. The growth is all that is to be desired, and altogether a wonderful Rose. 40 cents. RED RADIANCE. (H. T.) All who know that grand Rose Radiance will welcome this red form of that great favorite. Radiance is a Rose that does well everywhere ; a fine grower and free bloomer, and no prettier pink Rose grown. Red Radiance is its exact counterpart except that the color is a rich deep red. RICHMOND. Pure rich scarlet ; very free and continuous flowering ; splendid forcer. ROSE MARIE. (H. T.) This is a grand Rose of the very highest merit. A rich red that has come to stay. Might best be described as a bright watermelon red. Very de- sirable. TIPPERARY. (H. T.) In color stands between Lady Hill- ingdon and Melody, showing an attractive shade of soft golden yellow in the bud and half developed flower. Its freedom of flowering and its habit of growth will make it one of the most desirable Roses of its color. W. C. GAUNT. (H. T.) Of medium size, with pointed buds, with naturally reflexed; guard petals of brilliant velvet vermilion, tipped scarlet. Stems rigid, habit branching, large oval beech-green foliage. Rich tea fragrance; very rich in color. WILLIAM F. DREER. A beautiful Rose of the same par- entage as Los Angeles and which, for delicacy of coloring, is incomparable with any other variety, it reminding one °f the delicate tints of some varieties of water lilies. The flowers, which are similar in shape to Los Angeles, and like that variety, beautiful in all stages of development, are at their best in the half-expanded flower. These, in e ending are of a delicate, silvery shell pink. The base of the petals are of a rich golden yellow which, at certain stages of development, gives a golden suffusion to the entire flower, this golden suffusion being particularly bril- liant early and late in the season. 50c each. 20 MISS JESSIE M. GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD. OHIO The “Excelsior” List of Everblooming Roses New and Choice for Outdoor Planting or House Culture Price, 20c each; any three of your own selection for 50c. I have no two-year-old Roses to offer before December 1. For general planting, more especially in open ground, this class excels all others. One-year-old plants, such as I send by mail, bloom the first and each succeeding year from early spring until severe frosts. Two-year-old plants, of course, yield a greater profusion of flowers, owing to their size. The flowers are noted for their exquisite coloring and delightful fragrance ; hardy everywhere in open ground with protection of litter, leaves, evergreen boughs or similar materials. Plant liberally of one-year-old Roses ; the harvest of bloom they give the first year compensates- for the trifling outlay. Anyone can succeed with them. “Excelsior” List of Roses of Special Merit In Ordering Say “From ‘Excelsior’ List” ALEXANDER HILL GRAY. Largest pure yellow ; extra. ARCHDUKE CHARLES.

Edouard Herriot”), only brighter and more brilliant than when that variety is at its best, and you will have some con- ception of the beauty of this little gem which on account of the similarity in color has been known among the cut flower trade as Baby Herriot. Its color is a shrimp pink with intense coppery scarlet suffusion, the base of the petals golden yellow which intensifies and lightens up its high colors. Plant is of free growth and floriferous. I am certain that Baby Herriot will please everyone. GEORGE ELGER. A lovely little golden yellow Polyantha Rose, with a good admixture of Tea blood ; like all of it3 class, it is free in growth, free in bloom. with small, Rose on the Pacific Coast, but recently even in the effete East and everywhere in America they are planting it simply by thousands for cut flowers. It has become quite the rage. It makes a handsome miniature Rose, coming in sprays of three to five buds, and combined in beautiful effect with so many other flowers in all kinds of floral work. It is a very prolific bloomer and if carefully pro- tected in the winter should be a moneymaker, both out- doors and under glass. The bud and flower are both hand- some. Color, blush, shaded light salmon pink ; distinct and desirable. MRS. WM. H. CUTBUSH. Flowers the delicate pink of Dorothy Perkins. PERLE d’OR.

FRANCISQUE FAVRE. Dwarf Polyantha. Robust in growth, quite continuous in bloom, flowering in large trusses of single flowers. Color, velvety crimson, with large silver white eye. Extremely showy.

This Rose is in a class by itself ; no Rose ever pro- duced has such sub- stance of petal ; color creamy white with rain- bow tints : a beauty and a wonder. BESSIE BROWN. A Rose of transcendent beaul y ; of 1 he largest size ; color pearly white with a deli- cate tinge of fawn. ETOILE DE FRANCE. For the best red garden Rose it lies be- tween this one, Rhea Reid and Helen Gould. Some say one and some say the other. ETOILE DE LYON. Still the best large golden yellow Rose. HELEN GOULD. A rich red Rose that is a great bloomer ; the shade of red has been described best as a watermelon red ; elegant. HELEN GOOD (The Beauty Cochet). What the introducers say: ‘This is a true Cochet Rose, and after two years’ trial in the garden we pronounced it as good if not better than any Rose for the garden ever sent out. We bought the entire stock of this Rose, paying $1,000 for two plants, this being by far the highest recorded price ever paid for any Rose. The color is a delicate yellow suffused with pink, each petal edged deeper, very chaste and beautiful. The color, with its immense size and exquisite form, makes it without question the greatest Tea Rose ever introduced, and we are proud to have brought it out.” KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA. A grand white garden Rose that has stood the test of time. Full and double ; fine buds and flowers. LA FRANCE. This is claimed by many to be the queen of all the Roses : bright silvery pink. MAMAN COCHET (The Queen of all Garden Roses). Such beauty and ex- quisite form as is possessed by this variety is well nigh marvelous, and cannot be seen in any other Rose I know of. The buds are beautiful, large, full, and firm, and elegantly pointed ; as they expand they show great depth and richness, some- times .measuring two and a half inches from base to tip. Flowers superb when open, extra large, perfectly double and of splendid substance. Small pot plants will in the open ground quickly make large, strong bushes and pro- duce, on long, stiff stems, great numbers of perfect flow- ers that are enchanting in fragrance and delicate bright- ness. The color is rich, clear pink, changing to a silvery rose. As I see it, one good Rose like any of the Cochet Roses is worth a whole collection of poor ones. SOUVENIR DE PRES. CARNOT. Grand Rose of the largest size ; color delicate fawn or salmon ; fine. Maman Cochet Roses. WHITE MAMAN COCHET (No Finer Rose Than This).

The color is a pure snow white. Sometimes outdoors it is tinged pink, which only adds to its great beauty. No Rose surpasses it in vigorous growth and in the immense size of its buds and flowers— indeed, nothing in the Tea family approaches it in size. Deliciously fragrant. WM. R. SMITH. This Rose has several names, such as Charles Dingee, Jeanette Heller, Maiden’s Blush, etc. Color delicate blush. It has no superior as a garden Rose.

Plant hybrid tea roses fifteen inches apart each way. With your trowel make a hole large enough to permit the roots to spread naturally. Place the plant and then pour in at least a pint of water ; with one hand hold the plant in position and with the other draw in the earth ; firming the top soil with the hands. Then water well, and immediately mulch with at leas t two inches of coarse strawy manure. This prevents the soil from drying out, and successive waterings carries fertilizer as needed, insuring vigorous growth and conse- quent blooms. Cut the old blooms off as soon as they are done. D o not fear to take a bit of the old wood with it. It is the new wood that blooms. MISS JESSIE M.

Rose Pests For aphis or green fly use Rose Nicotine as a spray. For mildew and black spot on the leaves use Bordeaux Mixture. The dry powder properly blended can be bought at drug storeB. It is ready to use by adding the amount of water called for. For the small white fly that infests the under side of rose leaves use the nicotine. The hard dashing spray from the hose when applied to the under side of the leaves in the evening helps to keep them down. For other rose pests you will find Melrosine effectual. (See page 39.)

MISS JESSIE M.GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO 27 Teddy, Jr., Fern. while in others the ends of the pinnae will be the genuine “Fish Tail.” Then again some fronds will have in a marked degree all of these desirable traits, forming a combination without parallel among Ferns. It well deserves the name of “Big Four Fern.” Everyone who sees it goes “daffy” about it. This is without question the most splendid of all the Nephrolepis. Be sure and try it. Fine young plants, 25c each; strong plants, 75c. The “Wannamaker” Fern Nephrolepis John Wannamaker A new Fern of wonderful beauty. Long, narrow, grace- fully drooping fronds. It is not so compact as Scholzeli, and, therefore, is a very airy and graceful Fern, and very dur- able in the house. A rapid grower; o.uite distinct from other Ferns. Fine young plants, 30c; strong plants, 75c. The “Ostrich Plume” Fern Nephrolepis Whitmanii A great Fern. In fact, it is a plant that appeals to every- one, and on that account will prove a much more valuable and profitable plant than other Ferns of this class. Every- one who has seen it is charmed with it. As someone has expressed it, “There is nothing like the Ostrich Plume Fern in cultivation. In decorative effect it so far outdistances the original variety that there is positively no comparison to be made. We consider it the most valuable novelty that has been introduced in many, many years.” It has taken gold medals wherever shown. Fine young plants, 35c; strong plants, 85c. The “Newport” Fern Nephrolepis Scotti Of much dwarfer and bushier growth than the Boston Fern. The fronds droop gracefully, and are not as long and heavy as the Boston. It is a rapid grower, and to see it in all stages of growth from a runner in the bench to a 14-inch pot specimen will convince you that it will be in great demand as a house Fern. This has always been a favorite variety. Fine young plants, 30c ; strong plants, 75c. The “Parlor” Fern Nephrolepis Whitmanii Compacta This is a condensed form of the “Ostrich Plume” Fern, with valuable characteristics added which are not evident in the parent, the pinnae subdividing, making miniature fronds which are superimposed on the main fronds, looking as if two or more were con- densed into one. Graceful beyond description. Fine young plants, 35c; strong plants, 75c. The “Philadelphia” Lace Fern Nephrolepis Elegantissima The small size pinnae, or leaflets, are subdivided into perfect miniature fronds the side pinnae stand at right angles to the midrib of the fronds, on edge instead of flat, giving both sides of the main frond the same beautiful appearance. It is impossible to conceive of the beauty and grace of this wonderful Fern from the description. Fine young plants, 35c; strong plants, 75c. Fern “Smithii” A new type of the Ostrich Plume family. The frond is very compact and the pinnae are finely sex-- rated, giving it the appearance of a strong feathery plume. Fine young plants, 50c each. No large size. House Ferns There are no plants grown that are more desirable for the house than the following fine decorative Ferns. They are easily grown, free from insects and disease, and thrive well in the ordinary temperature of the living room. See that the plants have plenty of drainage and are kept well watered; never let dry out for any length of time. Every one of the Nephrolepis Ferns is entirely distinct in every way. That I am headquarters for Ferns is evidenced by the choice assortment that I offer. No other firm offers so many dis- tinct and choice varieties. Try me for Ferns. The “Teddy Junior” Fern Nephrolepis Teddy Junior “Teddy Junior,” the Fern for every household. This grand Fern was introduced recently by G. & R. The fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from base to tip ; they droop just enough to make a shapely, graceful plant, permitting it to finish with a fine full center and perfect symmetrical spread. The pinnae are distinctly undulated, giving the fronds an attractive wavy appearance, which adds materially to their charming decorative effect. "Teddy Junior” will produce about four times more fronds than any other Fern ever introduced, finishing with fifty to sixty fi’onds in a four-inch- pot. Fine young plants, 25c; strong plants, 75c. The “Roosevelt” Fern Nephrolepis Roosevelt It is my good fortune and great pleasure to offer this wondei-ful new Fern, having introduced it in 1910. In this short time it stands second in popularity of all the Fern;, and will soon be more popular than even the old favorite Boston Fern. In general characteristics it resembles the world-famous Boston Fern, but it will sweep that Fern from the boards for two reasons ; it produces many more frond; than the Boston, thus making a bushier, handsomer plant ; then the pinnae are beautifully undulated, giving the “Rooce- velt” a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other Fern ; as the plant ages this effect becomes quite distinct. Fine young plants, 25c each; strong plants, 75c. New Fern “Liberty” This is my own production. In the past I have sent out Baby’s Breath, Teddy Junior and Roosevelt, the three greatest Ferns today, acknowledged so by all plantsmen and flower lovers, and now I add another one to the galaxy, “Liberty.” no doubt the best of them. All the fronds have finely divided pinnae that give them a vex-y beautiful ap- pearance, while the whole plant is overlaid with a bluish cast that makes of it a very striking object. Wonderfully beautiful, different from all other Ferns. Fix-st time offered. Fine young plants, 35c each; strong plants, $1.00. Be sure and try this beautiful Fern. The “Big Four” Fern Nephrolepis Splendida This is the most wonderful Fern of them all ; it originated with G. & R., and is now offered for the first time. It com- bines the good qualities of the four most popular sorts. It has the grace of a “Boston,” the wavy effect of a "Roose- velt,” the fluffy effect of an “Ostrich Plume,” and the uniqueness of a “Fish Tail.” Some fronds will be straight “Boston,” others will be true “Roosevelt,” in others the ends of the pinnae will be the feathery “Ostrich Plume,” Ostrich Plume Fern. 28 MISS JESSIE M. GOOD, SEEDSWOMAN AND FLORIST, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO Boston Fern. The ‘‘Fluffy Ruffles” Fern Nephrolepis Superbissima This new Fern is quite different from all other Ferns. Its distinguishing characteristics are its dark green foliage, daiker than any other Fern, its dense growth, much more compact, and its irregular shaped fronds, which give it the name of “Flufly Ruffles Fern.” The fronds are very heavily imbricated, the pinnae overlapping, and so formed as to re- semble miniature Ferns, giving it. the appearance of a Fern within a Fern. The plant is very sturdy in its habit. Fine young plants, 75c. HOUSE FERNS-Continued. The Old Original “Sword” Fern Nephrolepis Exaltata This is the “old original Sword Fern,” the “daddy” of them all, the one plant from which all the Nephrolepis I offer sprang. Jt is entirely different from any of its progeny, having narrow fronds that are long and of very erect growth. For this reason it is more largely used as a centerpiece in vases than are any of its descendants. Fine young plants, 25c; strong plants, 75c. The “Boston” Fern Nephrolepis Bostoniensis In the vicinity of Boston, no other plant is so extensively used as this graceful Nephrolepis, which differs from the ordinary Sword Fern in having much longer fronds, which frequently attain a length of six feet. These arch and droop over very gracefully, on account of which it is frequently called the Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or pedestal. This Fern should not be compared with the Ostrich Plume Fern, as they are of an entirely different growth. Fine young plants, 25c; strong plants, 75c. The “Crested” Fern Nephrolepis Seholzeli The fronds are crested and stand erect, with a graceful arch, forming a plant of ideal shape, and they n?ver break down, giving the plant a ragged appearance, as is so often the case with other plumed forms ; furthermore, the loose, elegant arrangement of the fronds, allowing a free circula- tion of air through the foliage, prevents the center of even the largest specimen from becoming defective or yellow. Fine young plants, 25c each; large plants, 50c. The “Baby’s Breath” Fern Nephrolepis Gpodii This has the finest foliage of all the Ferns. It is so delicate that a lady on seeing it exclaimed, “Call it the Baby’s Breath Fern, as it is so dainty in texture that a Baby’s breath would set its fluffy foliage in motion.” The fronds are very fine and filmy, on which account it has been called by some the Lace Fern. It is an improved variety, and the best of its type. Nothing is daintier or more ex- quisite than well grown specimens in any size. Fine young plants, 50c; strong plants, $1.00. SPECIAL OFFER: The Fifteen Beautiful Ferns as named, costing $5.25, for only $4.25. The Filfteen Ferns in strong plants, costing $10.85, for only $9.50.

McGRIN. 4 Fern Dish. Care of Ferns Ferns are a moisture loving plant and become yellow and stringy in a dry, hot atmosphere. When too cold to set them outdoors on a rainy day, put them in the kitchen sink, or tub and with a whisk broom shower them with soapy water, followed by a rinsing with clear water. Keep the old leaves cut out ; give them some liquid manure water once a month, and watch results. The same treatment for Asparagus Plumosus and Sprengeri. MISS JESSIE M.

GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS— Continued. New Pink Hibiscus, Peachblow (A sport from the Double Red Hibiscus Rosea Sinensis.) The flowers are double and from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, of a charming, rich, clear pink color, with small, deep crimson center. It is one of the freest-flowering plant novelties recently offered. The color is an entirely new and beautiful shade, and it blooms abundantly and continu- ously during the summer and fall months. Large plants two and three years old make a magnificent show. It will give general satisfaction to those who grow it, either in pots or planted out in the garden. It blooms well in the winter in the greenhouse or in any sunny window.

The plants branch freely and flower profusely, commencing to bloom when not more than a foot high. As a specimen plant for large pots it has an equal only in the Brug- mansia. Its flowers are of enormous size, often eight to ten inches across, opening flat, and of such vivid crimson scarlet color that they can be seen from a long distance like a flaming torch. They can be wintered in the cellar or pit with perfect safety, and if one does not care to grow them all winter, one should have one or two for summer display. GRANDIFLORUS. Rich, glossy, cut-leaved foliage, literally covering the plant with scarlet crimson flowers. SUB VIOLACEOUS. Flowers of enormous size, beautiful carmine, tinted with violet. Probably the largest flower of the Hibiscus family, and an unusually free bloomer. I take pleasure in recommending this fine plant. DOUBLE CRIMSON.

There were Bos- tonians and people from various towns to admire and enjoy it.” — Mrs. E. Adams, Mass. A grand sort. The most beautiful of the Crinums.

The plant has a most graceful, droop- ing habit, grows very rapidly and blooms continually sum- mer and winter, producing lai-ge clusters of the most delicate lilac or rosy pink. Price, 20c each; three for 50c. Wonderful New Lemon, Ponderosa Nothing that has ever been brought to my notice in the plant line has caused half the commotion that this wonderful lemon has. It is a true everbearing variety. On a plant six feet high no less than 89 of the Ponderosa Lemons were growing at one time. It was a beautiful sight to see. The tree was blooming, and even at the same time had fruit in all stages of development, from the size of a pea up to the ripe fruit, showing it to be a true everbearer. Fruit has been taken from this tree weighing over four pounds. The Lemons have very thin rind for such large fruit. It is the juiciest of all Lemons, makes delicious lemonade, and for culinary purposes cannot be excelled. It is noti uncommon to make twelve lemon pies from one lemon. I have the entire stock of this ponderous lemon and guarantee the trees to produce the same large fruit. No budding or grafting necessary. Ponderosa Lemon is sure to become popular when it is known. It fruits when quite small, and makes a lovely house plant. Everybody can grow his own lemons ; it will fruit freely each year. Thrifty young plants, 25c each. Larger plants, 50c. Extra strong, 75c. Otaheite Orange This valuable and distinct variety of the Orange family is a dwarf, compact grower, with glossy, deep green foliage, which has a decided odor of the Orange trees of Florida, and is exceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful pro- fusion of pure white flowers of the most delicious fragrance. Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruit about one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in a marked degree its sweetness. This unique Orange cannot be equaled as a winter-blooming pot plant for house culture. Requires but little sunlight, and flowers and fruits when but twelve to fifteen inches high. With a couple of plants of it you can have an abundance of the far-famed and delicate Orange blossoms. I have grown a large stock of clean, vigorous plants that will bloom and fruit at once. Good plants, 25c each; large, strong plants, 50c, 75c and $1.25 each, according to size. Pansies In the South fall is the time to plant Pansies for best results. My Pansies are the best the world produces. They combine the choicest large-flowered sorts, both of European and American growers. It has been my aim to make this the finest strain of this favorite flower in existence. Six for 25c; 40c per dozen; $3.00 per 100. Seeds, 15c per packet. Ponderosa Lemons.

GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS— Continued. Sweet Peas Plant Sweet Peas south of the Ohio River in the fall. Try fall planting and be surprised. See my Spring Book for varieties. Everyone who has a yard ought to grow quan- tities of this sweetest of all flowers, that is not only a beautiful low-growing vine for garden and decorations, but one of the most useful of all in furnishing material for vases, bouquets and all cut flower work. Plant quantities of these lovely flowers and cut them with a lavish hand ; for every flower you pick, two will come to fill its place. For the largest and finest blossoms, dig a trench six inches deep, put in two inches of rotten manure, a little earth, and sow the seed over this three inches apart in the row, covering an inch and a half. Do this during the month of November, or just before freezing weather, and as the plants grow, fill up the trench around them with rich earth. Such planting will produce enormous quantities of flowers of the largest size. Best mixture oio1 Affot* The entire collection of 42 Iris, opeciai toiler cost ng $17.35, sent for $16.00. A. B.
