Bulbous Plants for the Garden 



Tulips, Narcissus, Hyacinths, Lilies, Crocuses, Lily of the Valley, etc. 

 Also Irises, Peonies, Gladioli, Dahlias, Cannas, Anemones, Ranunculus, Montbretias, 



Zephyranthes and Tuberoses. 



There is no more interesting subject for the garden than your bulbs and no plants which 

 repay you so profusely at so small a cost and with such a minimum output of labor. Their cul- 

 ture and care is of the simplest. It is well, however, to have some work of reference, in addition 

 to the catalog, which will show you how to handle your bulbs so as to ensure the best of success, 

 to describe their peculiarities, and to furnish you some knowledge of the many varieties in each of 

 the classes; to tell you just how and when to plant them, and to give you the various pointers in 

 connection therewith in order that you may get the utmost satisfactory results out of them. 



Such being our object, we have compiled this brochure and offer it in full faith that our 

 customers will find it a worthwhile acquisition to their horticultural library. 



As will be noted from the title, we have covered all the bulbs and bulbous rooted plants 

 which are today favorites in American gardens. 



Price, 25c., postpaid, paper cover. 



Practical Landscape 

 Gardening 



A gentleman who is fast becoming nationally 

 known throughout the country for his ability, 

 by name Robert B. Cridland of Philadelphia, 

 was engaged by the publishers to write a book on 

 Landscape Gardening. His first effort was in 

 the direction of the laying out of estates involving 

 costly plans which we promptly advised him was 

 not at all what we desired. We told him we 

 wanted him to produce a book that would cater 

 to the interests of people of average means, and 

 the result was the production of the first practical 

 book that was ever written for people with from 

 one or two lots to an acre or so. 



This book has met with wonderful success 

 throughout the entire country, and we question 

 whether any other work on the same subject ever 

 met with the same welcome reception as has this, 

 for each sale we make creates another. Through 

 its conciseness and lucidity of expression the reader is at once encouraged by the ease with which 

 he can acquire the needed detail instruction on the embellishment of his home grounds. Not only 

 that, but through this advice he is enabled to avoid expensive mistakes, or if he already has a 

 certain layout accomplished, this book will tell him how to modify, continue on, and bring the 

 whole into complete harmony with his desires and the expression of good taste. 



Additionally to its great scope of information the work is remarkable for its 91 photographic 

 illustrations, 67 sketches and 33 plans. The type is large and clear and the binding durable. 

 The color plate on the front cover is an irresistibly attractive landscape scene.

A real, enjoyable home in the country 



Plant Culture 



By GEORGE W. OLIVER 



Propagator to the Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 



Fourth Edition enlarged and thoroughly revised by Alfred C. Hottes, Assistant 



Professor of Horticulture, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. 



This book just recently rewritten and considerably enlarged has been a standard work for the 

 past twenty years. It has been prepared, as its title suggests, for the benefit of all who are interested 

 in the cultivation of plants, both under glass and outdoors. It differs also from Garden Guide 

 in that it is encyclopedic in its information on all plants in cultivation. It is copiously illustrated 

 and thoroughly indexed; concise and authentic, and serves as a pocket encyclopedia. 



Cloth, 444 pages. Price, postpaid, $3.65.
