HARDY 

 EVERYWHERE 



ROSE, PERSIAN YELLOW 



(SEE BACK COVER) 



This beautiful buttercup-yellow Rose was introduced in 1838, and up to the present time has not been 

 superseded by any of the newer introductions. It makes a beautiful bush, with small, dainty leaves that 

 do not seem to be affected with disease at any time, and the young shoots have the delicious, spicy fragrance 

 of the Sweetbriar. At blooming time the plant is covered with medium-sized, deep yellow flowers and 

 biids, the flowers when open having an attractive flake of carmine in the center. When pruning cut out 

 the dead wood only and do not trim the growth of the previous year on which the new blooms will form 

 in great abundance. Price: 2-yr. 50 cts., Star-size 75 cts., by express. 



EARLY 

 BLOOMING 



FORSYTHIA, GOLDEN BELLS 



BLOOMS 

 IN APRIL 



The First Shrub to Flower in the Spring 



Grace and beauty are combined in this charming, hardy flowering shrub that thrives in almost every 

 soil. Gay festoons of brilliant yellow blossoms in long, slender sprays practically cover the slender branches. 

 They bloom among the earliest in the spring and produce a most cheerful effect on your lawn when 

 other shrubs are brown and still in their winter sleep. Plant this fall. Price: i-yr. 15 cts., postpaid; 2-yr. 

 35 cts., or 3 for $1, by express. 



DAFFODIL, GLORY OF LEYDEN 



(SEE FRONT COVER) 



Called "The King of the Daffodils." Massive 

 flowers of great substance, deep, rich, golden yellow. 

 Splendid for massing and for pot culture. A bed of 

 these beauties in bloom, with a background of 

 bright Forsythias, indicates that spring has surely 

 come. Glory of Leyden is perfectly hardy and 

 increases rapidly. 12 cts. each, 35 cts. for 3, $1.25 

 per doz., $9 per 100, postpaid.

YOU^LL ENJOY CROCUSES 



Violet, Purple, Yellow, Striped, White 



(SEE PAGE 15) 

 Early in April you can count upon every one of 

 these odd color jewels piercing through the sod, to 

 lie sprinkled over the grass like a fallen rainbow of 

 color. Try planting a rainbow — or for bordering beds 

 they're good. Just stick them in the ground early 

 this fall, plenty of them. In the spring they'll respond 

 Hke obedient children after a good night's sleep.
