HERMITAGE GARDENS are located at Aspen, Md., 7 miles 
north of the Md.—D. C. line on the Brookville (Seventh 
Street) Pike; route 97 out of Washington and from Balti¬ 
more through Ellicott City to Olney, then south on route 
97 about 5!/2 miles. 
A display of the popular varieties is maintained during the 
blooming season from late March to early May. Visitors 
are cordially invited to see it, as well as the gardens in which 
are growing more than 400 varieties and thousands of 
unnamed seedlings. 
Plant Daffodils in early September, if possible, as they 
make root growth in early fall, but they may be planted at 
any time after digging in July until the ground freezes. In a 
mixed border plant three or more bulbs of a variety 6 to 8 
inches apart and 4 to 5 inches deep, according to size of bulb 
and character of soil—deeper in light than in heavy soils. 
Leedsiis, white Trumpets, Poets, and bicolors produce the 
finest flowers when grown in partial shade. 
Figures in parentheses following name indicate the rela¬ 
tive season of bloom, 1 being earliest, and 6 latest. Orders 
accepted subject to crop and previous sale. If any variety 
is sold out I will substitute a variety of similar character 
and value unless the purcheser instructs otherwise. 
Come in! A welcome waits 
Within our gates. 
Our garden is your haven 
As it is ours. 
Taste of its leaven , Drink of its sweets; 
Gather the peace of flowers. 
Charles Hanson Towne.
