FARR'S 

 Quality Bulbs 



ForOdoberand NovemberPlanting 



I have delayed sending out my 

 catalogue of Hyacinths, Tulips and 

 Narcissus, until I could receive 

 positive assurance by cable that 



my usual supply of bulbs is actually 

 shipped and on the water; further. I wished 

 to assure my patrons that they would re- 

 ceive the same high quality bulbs as in the 

 past. 

 With my list of bulbs I am combining 



A Supplement to 

 Fans Hardy Plant Specialties 



<^m in which I am offering many new shrubs and plants of recent 



introduction, none of which are included in my general cata- 

 logue. Both the Bulb List and the Supplement will be mailed 

 to my regular customers, and to all others who request a copy- 

 It is generally known that there is a shortage of bulbs this year; this fact, 

 coupled with transportation difficulties, means that few bulbs will be received. 

 Prompt orders are your only assurance of securing the varieties you need, 



FARR'S 



Hardy Plant Specialties 



is a complete catalogue of new and 

 rare Peonies, Irises, Lilacs, and 

 many other full collections of plants 

 and shrubs; invaluable to every 

 gardener. If you do not have a 

 copy of this book (edition 1918) 

 write for it to-day.

FRUIT TREES 



Ready to Bear Next Year 



These trees have been transplanted and root-pruned to 

 develop .extra large specimens, which can safely be dug 

 and shipped this fall. It is entirely reasonable to expect 

 some fruit from them next year. My general catalogue 

 gives full list of varieties with prices. 



ROSES 



For Autumn Planting 



Extra large, 4 and 5 years old, including Climbers, Ru- 

 gosas, etc. All transplanted within a year, and have a 

 mass of fibrous roots, insuring growth and bloom. Com- 

 plete list in my general cata'ogue. 



NORWAY MAPLES 



Thrifty, good tops, straight trunks, and a customer writes 

 "they sure have some root-growth." There is no better 

 tree for street or shade.
