The Essence of Punctuality is to 

 Get Started in Time 



And Keep Going 



There's not much news in the above 

 little remark but there is a lot of sound 

 common sense. If you memorize the three 

 lines and follow out' the idea, you will get a 

 lot more happiness out of life. Get started 

 in time with >our order for roses, narcissus 

 and other flowers j'ou know you want to 

 plant this Fall. In the first place you have 

 the order ofT your mind and, in any case, 

 ordering early is a good habit. We ship 

 at the right time for planting.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! 



The reason for making your calendar a 

 reminder is because it probably is looked 

 at every day. Put a strong X on October 

 1st as a reminder to order bulbs that day, 

 without fail, if they have not already been 

 ordered. 



Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and cro- 

 cuses, also Peonies, must be ordered in 

 the Fall if good results are to be expected.

The American Rose Society 



believes in facts and not fulsome wordy 

 descriptions about Roses. Therefore, it 

 distributes oflicial record cards to its 

 members. Every point worth recording is 

 printed and all that is necessary is to check 

 the kind of bud, bloom, foliage, etc. If you 

 are or are not a member of the American 

 Rose Society and would like to pake a 

 report on some favorite Roses in your 

 garden, we feel sure the editor of the Rose 

 Annual, Dr. J. Horace McFarland, Harris- 

 burg, Penna., will be glad to send you 

 some record cards without charge. 



The annual membership fee, $3.00, 

 entitles you to a copy of the 200 page Rose 

 Annual, which in itself is worth $5.00 and 

 is supplied to members only.

This picture was taken in the world-famous Bagatelle rose garden 



A corner in Bagatelle Rose Garden where Rose growers from all over the world com- 

 pete for prizes offered by The City of Paris. Our Mr. Nicolas was one of the judges this 

 year, when the new yellow Rose Ville de Paris was the prize winner. 



Yellow Roses seem to have a special 

 appeal for most people. They embody the 

 essence of sunshine, especially the rich 

 clear lemon and buttercup yellows like 



Souv. de Claudius Fernet, Mabel Morse 

 and Mrs. Beckwith. 



By far the most popular yellow is 

 Duchess of Wellington. This rose is 

 hardier than most others in this color; it is 

 a vigorous grower and the delicious rich 

 tea fragrance would make it desirable if it 

 had nothing else to recommend it. 



Roses — For Fall Planting 



Nurserymen, who have had all the 

 experience that comes from years and years 

 of working with plants, will tell you can- 

 didly that roses planted in the Fall, when 

 planted right, give better results than 

 spring-planted roses, because they get 

 their roots established during late Fall, 

 before winter sets in, and are ready to 

 grow vigorously as soon as Spring opens. 



Tn,' Fall planting this jear. There's a 

 lot of joy in knowing ^our roses are in the 

 ground and growing, while other folks are 

 just getting theirs planted.

Make a note of this name, Mme.

 rose with color like the skin of a ripe 

 tangerine orange. It blooms profusely, 

 the buds are lovely and the flowers never 

 fade white as most yellow and copper 

 shades do. It would be well to order now 

 and let us reserve some plants for you.

There will not be enough of this rose 

 to go around for a few years.

On June 18th 



we had 26 varieties of hardy climbing 

 roses in bloom on the fence, along the road 

 leading to our greenhouses and packing 

 sheds. 



Dr. W. Van Fleet and American Pillar 

 were the leaders, but two that do not get 

 much mention should be included with 

 them. Coronation and Evangeline. 



Coronation blooms cover the plant with 

 perfectly double crimson-scarlet flowers 

 with a dainty flake of white in the center 

 of the quilled petals, making this a unique 

 rose. Evangeline is the daintiest of the 

 hardy climbers. The outside edges of 

 the white petals are flushed with delicate 

 apple-blossom pink. If you know of any 

 more beautiful hardy climber than Evan- 

 geline please let us know about it.
