Save 20% on Holland Bulbs 

 By Ordering Before July 1st 



To facilitate the handling of our bulb orders, we announce 

 import prices on bulbs to order, and that orders must be in our 

 hands by July 1st. These will be shipped to our customers at 

 the proper time for planting. 



Our object in adopting this new course is to relieve ourselves 

 of the details of recounting and rehandling at a time when the 

 attention of our entire force is needed for the Nursery and Land- 

 scape Departments of our business. 



The high quality of the bulbs will remain unchanged — the stock will be obtained from the same reliable growers who have supplied us for the past sixteen years. 



Thus, without sacrificing quality in the least, we will now be able to save you more than 20 PER CENT, over former prices; we will be lelieved of the 

 details of handling, packing and carrying surplus stock. The following list, representing as it does the highest quality obtainable — which is the only kind we 

 secure for our select clientele — will convey a hint of the exceptional values we offer:

Visit our Magnificent Display of Peonies at Rosedale 



This famous collection of superb varieties will be at the height of its blooming period during 

 the week commencing June 13th. Each year many of our friends come to see this grand exhibit 

 of color. All readers of the Garden MAGAZINE and their friends are invited to visit us during that 

 week; the marvelous showing of flowers — including many prize winning varieties — is a sight not soon to 

 be forgotten. Our Nursery is at Hawthorne, on the Harlem Branch of N. Y. C. R. R., one hour from 

 New York. Here you will be welcome at any time and have an opportunity to choose Darwin Tulips 

 and Iris in great variety in May, Peonies and Roses in June, Japanese Iris in late June, Phlox from July 

 to September, and Columbines, Larkspurs, and other flowers in their season. Fall is by far the best and in 

 many cases the only time to plant some varieties

The Marriage of Convenience 



I says to B. Gurin yesterday, Mawruss, why 

 don't he get married to a girl mil money, and he 

 says money don't figure at all with him. 

 "Where's the harm." I says, " supposing a girl 

 does got a little money." 



" What is the use talking, Mr. Potash ? " he 

 says. " I am sick and tired of looking. Believe 

 me, I ain't lying to you, if I looked at one I 

 mrst of looked at hundreds. The fathers was 

 raied at the very least D to F first credit, and 

 wi it is it ? The most of 'em I wouldn't marry, 

 not if the rating was Aa i even, such faces they 

 got it." 



Which it only goes to show what a fool the 

 feller is, Mawruss, because girls which they got 

 D to F fathers, don't got to have faces.

Being the Home Making Adventures of Marie Rose 



By JULIET WILBOR TOMPKINS 



MARIE ROSE had never seen the inside of a 

 kitchen; meals came, in her experience, when 

 you pressed a button or commanded a waiter. 

 If you wish to be really diverted, come and behold 

 this dangerously attractive young person making a 

 first acquaintance with the unyielding nature of a 

 can of soup when she has never had to distinguish 

 between a can-opener and an ice-pick. Her tempo- 

 rary neighbor. Galen Ward, engineer and miner and 

 camper, was hugely excited when he first came to the 

 rescue. And that was the beginning of the story — 

 which is as bright and amusing and as full of real 

 humor as any you'll run across in a long course of 

 contemporary reading. 



Fixed Price, $1.20.
