IMPORTANT INFORMATION 
JJTHE crown of a plant is where the new 
buds form on the plants, and in Sep- 
tember they are fully grown so that they 
will start new growth the following spring 
on the first approach of warm weather. 
I have a large stock of Peonies, and 
these should be planted so the crown is two 
inches below the surface when planted. 
I have the largest stock of Phlox in the 
Northwest, and I believe they will com- 
pare favorably with any in the United 
States. Strong two-year No. 1 plants 
$2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 100. If you 
wish cheaper (smaller) plants I have them 
at $1.50 per dozen; $10.00 per 100, but 
you get much better value for your money 
if you buy the two-year No. 1 plants. 
Platycodon. These are a desirable hardy 
plant, and if planted in the fall will blos- 
som freely the next season. I have them 
as follows: From $1.50 to $5.00 per dozen 
according to size. 
Phlox and Platycodon should be planted 
so th^at the crown will be one inch below 
the surface when planted. 
A fine stock of my strain of Delphinium. 
Two-year No. 1 plants $2.50 per dozen; 
$15.00 per 100, smaller plants $1.50 per 
dozen; $10.00 per 100. 
Mr. James Boyd of Philadelphia, Pa., 
who has tested a number of my new iris 
seedlings wrote me as follows: "In regard 
to your new Iris Seedlings I will say that I 
was more than pleased with their strong 
growth and rich coloring. When all are 
so good it is difficult to particularize. I 
was, however, much impressed with your 
'W. J. Fryer' whose coloring is almost 
gorgeous."
