Paeonies 
Phlox (Everflowering Perennial) 
Lilac - Vulgaris. (Common Purple Lilac.) The well 
-—-r known, old-fashioned variety, one 
of the best. A good grower; flowers and young wood fragrant; 
purple. 
Lilac - Villosa. \ m ? st .pleasing variety of lilac, 
- differing in foliage and blossom from 
all other lilacs—a great favorite with us. Flowers abundant, 
large clusters, pink and latest to bloom of all lilacs. 
LilaC - Alba. (Common White Lilac.) A very desira- 
.-! ble contrast to the purple. Those who 
have one should have the other. 
Lilac—Old Homestead. T J iere are n ° flowering 
-- » plants morehighly 
prized than this beautiful pink lilac. The Old Homestead 
lilac is not claimed to be a new variety. 
Lilacs—New Fi'ench Varieties. , We have a 
.—--large assort¬ 
ment of both single and double flowering varieties in the fol¬ 
lowing colors: violet, purple, white, red, blue, deep rose and 
blue carmine. When ordering state whether double or single 
varieties are wanted and what color. Owing to the fact that 
our supply of these new French varieties is very limited, we 
reserve the right, in case we are out of the color ordered, to 
substitute a color or shade that is similar to the one ordered. 
Althea. (R° se Sharon.) One of the most showy 
-1 flowering shrubs; strong, erect growing, with 
large bell-shaped, double flowers of striking color, borne 
abundantly in August and September, when most other 
shrubs are out of bloom. We have pink,' white, red and 
purple. They are very hardy, easily cultivated, and will 
bloom until their growth is cut short by frost. 
Green’s Nursery Co.: Our bale of shrubs and trees sent by express today 
was received in fine condition. Our shrubs, grape vines, berry bushes 
and rose bushes we purchased of you the last two years have grown splen¬ 
didly and were admired by all who saw them. The Butterfly bush was 
beautiful and also the Gladiolus—they were their own advertisement.—

Paeonies. These beautiful flowers rival the rose in 
-* beauty. They require no protection, come 
up every season, and can be left in the ground indefinitely. 
With all deference to the claims for favorite garden plants 
and hardy perennials, there are few other flowers to compete 
in magnificence of bloom, size, color or fragrance with the 
paeony. If the rose is the queen of flowers, the paeon)' 
should be called the king. 
The proper position for paeony plants is in borders among 
other perennials that flower earlier or later. The strong rich 
foliage of the paeony makes effective contrasts. We prefer 
planting in borders rather than in round beds in lawns. Do 
not forget that paeonies do well in shady places as well as in 
the more open spaces. 
C. A. Green’s Collection of Mixed Colors. Our C. A. 
Green has a choice collection of paeonies, a great mixture 
of colors, all beautiful beyond our ability to express. He 
has searched far and wide for rare varieties and those possess¬ 
ing the greatest beauty of bloom and vigor of growth. In 
it are the various colors from white to different shades of 
pink, purple, crimson and salmon color. We have been 
propagating from the plants growing on Mr. Green’s private 
grounds and have a good supply of these rare varieties. 
The different colored varieties are all mixed together, and 
as it is impossible to tell the color of a variety by the roots, 
please do not specify color when ordering from this collection. 
If you want special colors we recommend to you Green's 
pink, white and red varieties described on this page. 
Green’s Pink Paeonies. In . addition to our 
_ mixed colors we have

_ paeony, very desirable 
for planting with the white varieties, and indispensable in any 
collection.
