bunches of shiny, crimson berries in the fall and winter

flattened. Sturdy, vigorous, beautiful; it does well in 
sunlight or shade. 6 to 10 feet at maturity.

Dear Mr. Ferris: 
I am enclosing an order for bulbs. Have 
been giving you orders for some years, 
and everything has been more than satis¬ 
factory. Ferris plants seem to be out¬ 
standing here where I have planted. The 
Chinese Elm made wonderful growth the 
past summer regardless of the hot, dry 
weather; my Regal Lily bed last spring 
was lovely—every bulb lived. Many cata¬ 
logs come here, but after reading carefully 
about everything, I turn to you for my 
supply.

Gentlemen: I am very much pleased 
with the things I’ve received from you 
the past few years. I am especially proud 
of the rose§ I got last spring—four plants, 
from which I have had about 200 blooms 
so far. I would not take $25.00 apiece for 
the plants. You can expect another order 
for them. Always a Ferris Booster.
