edge of the walk. The end of 
August is about the proper time 
to commence planting Peonies, 
Iris, Hardy Lilies, etc. Owing to 
war conditions, we have been un- 
able for a few seasons to obtain 
French or Dutch grown Roses, but 
we expect to have a full line of all 
the old favorites as well as the 
latest varieties of Hybrid Teas, 
Teas, Hybrid Perpetuals, Shrubs, 
Climbers, etc., for planting next 
Fall.
