THIS VALUABLE NOVELTY, 



OUR SPECIAL, 



is a new strain among the spe- 

 cies of Dahlias. Its early flow 

 ering and very dwarf habit (15 

 inches) make it one of the finest 

 bedding plants ever introduced, 

 producing in great profusion 

 well-formed single flowers of 

 medium size, and blooms from 

 June until frost. Was awarded by the Flower Committee at 

 Amsterdam 5 first class certificates and 5 awards of merit. 



Price for strong field grown tubers, in colors of White, Pink, 

 Yellow, Orange, Scarlet, Violet, 75c. each; $3.50 for 6.

 it the standard authority.' 7

Japan Irises 

 are best planted 

 in early Spring 

 and my collec- 

 tion of upwards 

 of 7^ varieties 

 is unique in one 

 important par- 

 ticular — every 

 one is abso- 

 lutely true 

 to description 

 which cannot 

 be said of any 

 collection im- 

 ported direct 

 from Japan — it 

 has taken over 

 ten years of 

 p er se veri ng 

 study to bring 

 my collection 

 to its present 

 state. 



I wish every reader of Garden Magazine who is interested in growing' hardy 

 plants might have this book, as it makes friends for me everywhere, and I 

 would like to count yon among them.

Arthur Cowee's New Book- 

 let "Uses of the Gladiolus" 



The best flower is that which is both beautiful and useful. None 

 has greater beauty than the modern Gladiolus; none can be used 

 for so many purposes. 



Gladiolus blooms are wonderfully durable. If cut when the 

 first flower opens and kept in fresh water they will remain in good 

 form for a week or more — until every bud has opened. There are 

 many other points in which the Gladiolus excels. 



My new book "The Uses of the Modern Gladiolus" describes a 

 number of the most effective ways to make this superb flower use- 

 ful. It also tells how to select bulbs, prepare the soil, plant culti- 

 vate, etc., etc. Send for a free copy now— planting time is almost here.
