DREER'S 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 

 SPRING FLOWERING BULBS 



The Fall is an excellent time to set out Hardy Perennial Plants, 

 Vines, Shrubs, Roses, etc. We make a specialty of these plants and grow 

 in large assortment. A complete list will be found in our AUTUMN 

 CATALOGUE, also Spring-flowering Bulbs which must be planted this 

 Fall for blooming next Spring.

tliis shape, but I have had best success with 

 the cutting" notches. 



-\fter preparing the clump tlius, the ne.xt 

 tiling is to bank carefully with a mellow soil 

 that is well pulverised so it will be firm 

 around the canes and keep the cuts moist. 

 During the Winter the canes will callous 

 where cut or bent, and roots will form 

 here during the ne.xt growing" season. By 

 Fall they will be strongly-rooted plants and 

 can be divided and transplanted either in 

 the I'"all or the ne.xt Spring. 



While it is possible to root a large num- 

 ber of the canes of a good clump, the plants 

 will be better if only the stronger ones are 

 used. Many of the weaker ones can be cut 

 away before layering so the strength of 

 the plant can go into the selected canes. 

 Some of the canes can be left to grow nat- 

 urally, and these will not be very likely to 

 root, and will renew the old clump. Some- 

 times canes will root if not cut or bent, but 

 the conditions must be ideal to secure this. 

 It is much surer to prepare as suggested. 



(irapes and rosebushes can be rooted in 

 the same way, only we have to bend down 

 the canes and stretch them along on the 

 ground. I have seen several fine plants 

 grown from one long grape cane, and also 

 from a crimson rambler rose. In both 

 cases I have cut the canes, but I have seen 

 grapes rooted without cutting, rooting at 

 each joint. — American Fruit Grower. 



THE LACE FLOWER 



In the heart of every flower lies a secret. 

 TIic dainty lavender flower in my garden 

 shows tb.at the secret of Queen Anne's 

 flower as some wizard saw the purple spot 

 in her white lace and from it bred a flower 

 more dainty than that of the wild carrot or 

 Ihiiiiiis Car rota, yet retahiing its manner 

 of growth. 



Last Winter this flower was largely cata- 

 logued as the blue lace flower. It is not
