Win the Gold Medal 
My collection of Irises exhibited at San Francisco 
received the highest award—the 
Panama-Pacific Exposition Gold 
Medal. The collection embraces the cream of 
the standard varieties, the finest European novel- 
ties, and my own seedlings raised here at Wyom- 
_ issing, pronounced by critics to be of distinct and 
rarest beauty. You can have a display of equal 
beauty in your own garden if you make your 
selection from my catalogue which describes 
hundreds of kinds. 
The New Roses 
I offer a carefully selected list of desirable Roses, 
especially adapted for outdoor culture, including 
the best of the novelties, Hybrid Penpaanals, 
Hybrid Teas, Wichuraianas, Ramblers, Baby 
Ramblers, all in two-year-old field grown plants. 
Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
(edition of 1915-16) accurately describes the Irises, 
% "Roses, the most complete list of Peonies in existence, 
fii Hardy Asters, Phlox, Anemones, Delphiniums, many 
/ ly other perennials, and the finer shrubs, especially Lem- 
oines new Double and Single Lilacs, Philadelphus and 
Deutzias—in fact the best herbaceous perennials and 
shrubs for general planting. If you do not have a copy of the 1915-16 
book write for it today.

Planning the Garden. So many customers and friends have asked me to help them 
plan their gardens that I have found it necessary to form a special department in charge of a 
skillful landscape designer and plantsman. He will be glad to assist you in any way desired, 
either by suggestions or by advice, which will be cheerfully given. For the preparation of 
detailed planting plans a charge to cover actual cost must be made.

ROSES 
possess the individu- 
ality and character 
that go with superi- 
ority,and today they 
are acknowledgea 
the standard of the 
world. 
They’re the result 
of over twenty years 
. of enthusiastic and 
—yes, loving effort. 
They’re born and 
reared (from 2 to 3 
years) out of doors 
—have never even 
seen a greenhouse. 
That’s one of the reasons why they produce such marvelous results. 
“A LITTLE BOOK ABOUT ROSES” 
(a catalog and more) 
a gem of the printer’s art, also possessing the stamp of character and 
individuality, tells you the whole story. 
It’s sent free to intending purchasers—to any one without obligation 
to purchase, for to cents in coin or stamps.
