OLD ORCHARD GARDENS 
MERCHANTVILLE NEW JERSEY 
THE "ANNUAL" STRAWBERRY 
It is annual only in the sense that it will 
flower and fruit freely the first season from 
spring-sown seeds. Actually it is a hardy, en¬ 
during perennial. The fruits are of ruby bril¬ 
liancy, and while but of medium size, they have 
the aroma, and the delicate “wild” flavor that 
so delights the epicure. The plants make close 
tufts of handsome upright foliage, no runners 
whatsoever, and can be propagated only from 
seeds, or by actual division of the clumps. Sown 
in spring, they will fruit freely in fall. The next 
season they will give a long season of fruit in 
the spring, bearing a second crop in the fall. 
This strawberry is a true alpine, and worthy of 
planting in the rock garden, as well as in the 
fruit garden. Since it makes no runners, it is 
often used as a path edging. Pkt. 20c. 
THE HYACINTH MULLEIN 
Blossoms of exquisite form and finish are car¬ 
ried in an interesting arrangement that reminds 
one of a taller, slenderer Hyacinth spike. There 
will be cream, apple-blossom pink, rose, lavender 
and purple-violet. Blooms for several weeks in 
late spring and usually again in autumn. Seed 
sown this season produces plants for next year’s 
flowering. Pkt. 10c. 
HELIANTHUS ORGYALIS 
No more imposing, yet graceful, hardy peren¬ 
nial than this. It is just what is needed for the 
back of the border. Grows to some eight feet, 
but a full three feet of this is a splendid, loosely 
branching, panicle of starry golden blossoms, 
only about an inch across, but all the more 
charming because there is no suggestion of 
coarseness. Below the flowering bushiness the 
stems are so closely set with long and willowy 
leaves that they seem thick columns of breeze- 
rippled greenery. Blooms second season from 
seed. Pkt. 20c. 
PLEASE NOTE. While Old Orchard Gardens are owned 
by Rex. D. Pearce, who is responsible for their service, 
they are operated as a separate division of his business in 
commercial horticulture. It is important that all corres¬ 
pondence' be addressed, all orders sent, and all remittances 
made directly to Old Orchard Gardens, and not to him 
personally. This will avoid needless confusion and delay.
