T HE renown of Wyomissing Nurseries as introducers of Peonies and Irises 
only slightly surpasses the reputation achieved as growers of everything 
needful for the hardy garden — for among my whole list of plants and shrubs 
there is not a variety that can be considered as “common” or unworthy of a 
place in the most pretentious planting. 
HARDY PHLOX. My collection contains all the choic¬ 
est new varieties, including the most desirable Euro¬ 
pean novelties. A splendid collection of fifty plants in 
12 varieties is offered for $5. 
THE WYOMISSING HYBRID DELPHINIUMS (grown 
from selected seed of my own saving) are of wonderful 
beauty and size; I can send you a dozen superb plants 
for $2.50. Besides these, I grow the finest named va¬ 
rieties, including the Belladonna Hybrids and the Chi- 
nensis species. 
| More than 75 varieties of Lemoines’ new Lilacs and 
1 Deutzias, many varieties of Philadelphus, Weigela, 
| Lonicera, Viburnum, and the cream of the world’s L 
Roses in extra-strong two- and three-year-old plants, are 
| grown at Wyomissing Nurseries. |
