Wiosor and White Enchantress 



Strong Rooted Cottings, Now Ready for Delivery 



\U I NGiO D ^'^' proved to be the finest carnation in the lirht pink class. We sold a large Quantity of it last year, but there wiU be 

 " ■i^'^^^a* a much larger sale for it this year. At the EoKlish Oarnation Show held in December, it was the winner in the light 

 pink class. It is doing well everywhere, and will supplant everything in that color. 



11/ If IT p FNf^H ANTDPCkS ^ll occupy the same position among white carnations that Enchantress does among 

 **■■■■*- *-i'^v»B«*«i"^ ■ i^L.!^^ gesh pinks. It has all the good Qualities of the common Enchantress— long stem, 

 earlinesB, large siie, freedom, etc. In our opinion, it Is by far the best white carnation ever introduced. 



We have a splendid stock of both Winsor and White Enchantress ready for immediate delivery, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction 

 with the cuttins'o supplied. Do not wait, because the demand for these varieties is bound to be enormous. Order early, vehlle ^^e can

PORCH BOXES AND LARGE BEDS. 



What are the best blooming plants for 

 porch boxes, also for large beds in public 

 places! And what varieties would be sat- 

 isfactory, planted together in June for 

 summer blooming? M. 



For porch boxes some of the most satis- 

 factory flowering plants are : Geraniums, 

 petunias, abutilons, nasturtiums, blue lo- 

 belias, ageratums, lantanas and the 

 fibrous begonias, like Vernon and Er- 

 fordii. For large beds no other plants 

 equal the cannas. A solid bed of one 

 color is the most effective. If you want 

 a little variation, you can edge a yellow 

 bed with scarlet of lower stature, or vice 

 versa. A few good bedding cannas are: 

 Queen Charlotte, scarlet-crimson, banded 

 with canary yellow; Egandale, soft red, 

 bronze foliage; Charles Henderson, crim- 

 son; Florence Vaughan, golden yellow, 

 spotted bright red; Alphonse Bouvier, 

 brilliant crimson-scarlet ; Pennsylvania, 

 which grows six feet high, suitable for 

 large beds, rich scarlet; Mme. Crozy, 

 crimson-scarlet bordered with yellow. 



Sometimes a bordering of some other 

 plant, like Caladium esculentum, is seen 

 round the canna beds, but if you use a 

 dwarf variety of cannas for a bordering, 

 it will do fuUy as well. In planting porch 

 boxes you can use a few of the lower 

 growing cannas, if there is ample root 

 room for them. These boxes are usually 

 filled with a mixture of plants. Zonal 

 geraniums make ideal boxes. If you want 

 some hanging plants, the ivy-leaved sec- 

 tion can be utilized for the front. A few 

 suitable geraniums are: John Doyle, S. 

 A. Nutt, Jacquerie, Alphonse Eieard, 

 Jean Viaud, Double and Single Grant, 

 Mme. Jaulin and Beaute Poitevine. SoUd 

 boxes of petunias are very good and can 

 be depended upon to flower all summer.
