Pot-Grown Satisfaction Plants in 

 Carnations and Mums 



IF YOU are a Carnation lover and have a portion 

 of your greenhouse devoted to them, you will 

 want some of the newer varieties for they are su- 

 perior in every respect to varieties that are getting 

 older and are not up to the standard of the present. 



Buying plants from pots means that you will get 

 plants full rooted [ready to go ahead and make 

 good. Our Carnation list is a strong one. We 

 have the best of the new and the best of the older 

 varieties. They are described in the catalog we 

 want you to have. The rose you all admire and 

 they are our specialty, whether for the private 

 greenhouse or for the garden. If your greenhouse 

 roses are from Cromwell you will have the best 

 plants that can be produced to start you right. 

 Your Perennial Garden will need additions this 

 coming Spring. Pot grown Perennials which will 

 shift without suffering, are the kind you can get 

 from Cromwell Gardens.

 you. We want you to know what it means to buy 

 Satisfaction Plants.

The "JOY" 



brings joy to all who grow, sell, or eat it. It is immensely 

 profitable to the market grower, and "a joy forever" to the 

 amateur gardener. The canes are of ironclad 

 hardihood and need no staking. They yield heav- 

 ily, all the canes being literally loaded with fruit, 

 every year. I have tested this berry for several 

 years, and am willing to stake my reputation 

 upon it. In the winter of 1911-12 every Black- 

 berry in my trial grounds was damaged more or 

 less except the Joy, which came through with 

 every bud and terminal in perfect condition. 



Grow This Berry. It is Hardy and Wonderfully Productive 



JOY Blackberries are coal black, and large, almost as thick through as they are long. In luscious 

 flavor they surpass by far all other Blackberries I have ever grown. In my long experience with this 

 berry its canes have never been affected, even slightly, by orange rust or other fungus disease, and I 

 believe it is immune to them. A full assortment of Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Grapes, 

 Currants, Gooseberries, Garden Roots, Hardy Perennial Plants, Shrubs and Vines, Evergreen and 

 Shade Trees, Roses, Hedge Plants, etc. Illustrated descriptive catalog replete with cultural instruc- 

 tions, free to everybody. Established 1878. 200 acres. Quality unsurpassed. Prices low.

by a one-horse plow — the garden vegetables will 

 tend to shallow rooting and the soil to unfavorable 

 dryness if the rainfall is light. But if the plow 

 runs deep, say 6 or 7 inches, as a two-horse Wiard or 

 South Bend Plow will do, the hardened line of soil 

 at the bottom of the furrow occurs at a more fav- 

 orable depth with an important increase in the 

 amount of loose soil. The vegetables will then root 

 more deeply. Moisture drawn up from below is 

 distributed through a deeper root zone, and fer- 



Showing how tho plow share carries and folds 

 under the remains of vegetable growth 



tilizing material which has seeped through from the 

 surface soil by leaching is made available for the 

 len's use. 



This deep plowing should take place as soon as 

 the soil is free of frost. Always consider the depth 

 of the furrow from its land side and regulate the 

 plow's depth by attaching the whiffletrees to a 

 certain hole in the clevis at the end of the plow beam. 

 When attached at the highest part of the clevis 

 the plow runs deepest. 



When plowing deep, level land should be plowed 

 in strips either lengthwise or crosswise of the garden 

 so that the furrows counteract any tendency of the 

 surface to wash. If the plowing is done by fol- 

 lowing around the entire piece and finishing in the 

 centre, the garden surface will tend to hollow in 

 the center.
