500 plants can be sent in one package, 

 and with a great saving of time in 

 long-distance shipments. The man who 

 wants plants to set out a family gar- 

 den can get enough in one package for 

 his wants. This use of the mails is 

 going to rectify much of the trouble 

 that has existed. The purchaser will 

 get his plants fresh and in good shape. 

 The express companies have had too 

 much business in the last few years to 

 handle it carefully and expeditiously 

 and as a result packages have been 

 smashed and shipments delayed. Noth- 

 ing equals the United States mail serv- 

 ice for prompt delivery, no matter 

 what are its faults. Taking away the 

 small packages from the express com- 

 panies will compel them to handle the 

 larger shipments in better shape. 



' ' No matter how plants are packed, 

 they should be properly labeled with 

 wood labels, well and legibly printed 

 or written with indelible pencil. If 

 every bunch is not labeled, the different 

 varieties must be kept apart with old 

 sacking or waterproof paper. Common 

 thin paper will wet and soon go to 

 pieces, and the different varieties will 

 be mixed up, especially if the person 

 who opens the package is inexperienced 

 in handling plants. If you label every 

 bunch, you are sure of their beinj; all 

 right if the package is broken open 

 en route. Crates and boxes must be 

 made so that they will not easily split 

 and go to pieces while they are in tran- 

 sit. A narrow piece of tough half-inch

EXTREMELY HARDY, has 

 withstood a temperature of 

 ten degrees below zero. Is a 

 great drouth resister. It flourishes 

 and blooms profusely in the hottest 

 and driest weather. It is as near 

 an everblooming plant as we have 

 ever seen. It begins to bloom in 

 early spring soon after growth com- 

 mences. The blossoms literally 

 cover the plant for two months or 

 more. Then for a few months it 

 does not bloom so freely, but is 

 it puts on another full crop of

The color is an indescribable, lovely shade of red; it is a dark, soft cerise crimson, 

 much the color of a well grown American Beauty rose. It has none of the harsh, 

 glaring shades of the Salvia splendens. The beautiful color is perhaps the most 

 attractive feature of this novelty. 



It is a hard-wooded shrub. Grows three to four feet high and three to four feet 

 wide in a compact globe, very full and neat in appearance. It is beautiful when 

 massed in a solid bed. and is as useful as the Spiraea Van Houttei for bordering shrub 

 beds. It is not so tall, but is as compact and graceful as the Spiraea, and in addition 

 it is a blaze of beautiful red nearly all the season. 



The very important Question as to where it will grow has not been fully demon- 

 strated, though we are full.y convinced it will succeed in nearly every state of the 

 Union. Young plants in Philadelphia, Pa.. Lexington. Mass.. North Abington, Mass. 

 and Parsons. Kan., went through last winter in the open ground without protection. 

 We have never heard of their being damaged by oold weather anywhere, but we do not 

 know of their being exposed to anything colder than ten degrees below zero.
