Rubellum. This is a beautiful new Lily, 
similar to Krameri, but of much more vig¬ 
orous constitution. It is unknown in this 
country, but in England where it lias been 
fully tested it is highly praised and it 
seems likely to become as popular as the 
Speciosum varieties. “.

Low Prices for Hydrangeas. 
Shipped from Station near Pittsburgh. 
Prices good until stock is exhausted. Fall or 
spring delivery. 
No more popular plant or shrub has ever been 
sent out than Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, 
and I take great pleasure in offering my customers 
a large stock of splendid vigorous plants at such 
extremely low prices that it will enable them to 
plant this effective shrub in quantity. 
People who have only seen this Hydrangea 
grown singly as specimens have no conception of 
how beautiful and effective they are when planted 
in masses. They are planted in this way at New¬ 
port, R. I., which is famous for its fine gardens, 
and almost as famous for its Hydrangeas. These 
Hydrangeas can be planted in connection with 
other shrubbery or in isolated beds, in the same 
manner as Cannas, Caladiums or other strong 
growing bedding plants. They are perfectly hardy, 
and once planted they are a permanent addition to 
the lawn or garden. When grown in beds or 
groups they should be planted about two feet apart 
in very rich soil, which should be liberally enriched 
annually with rotten stable manure, and in the early 
spring, before they commence to grow, cut back so 
as to leave only two or three inches of the new 
growth of the previous season, and if extremely 
large flowers are desired, cut out some of the weakest 
shoots after growth has commenced. Treated in 
this same manner they will produce enormous 
panicles of flowers, and the beds will be a solid 
mass of bloom. They bloom profusely the same 
season planted. Try them. You will find them 
more than satisfactory.

C 1 ROUP OF HARDY HYDRANGEAS ON LAWN.- From the English Flower Garden. 
Special Offer of Gladioli. 
Gladioli sent postpaid by mail for 10 cents per dozen, and 75 cents per 100 in addition to prices quoted. Prices good until 
withdrawn. Delivery at any time from November until June 15th. 
For cutting, for the decoration of the house, or for any purpose for which cut flowers are used during the summer and 
fall months, no flower can be grown as satisfactory as the Gladiolus. The spikes of flowers are large, showy and very 
beautiful, and last a week in water after cutting. By planting at intervals from the 1st of April until the 15th of June, 
they can be had in blossom from June 25th until frost. For cutting purposes they can be grown in the vegetable garden 
or any convenient place, and as they can be planted very closely, a large quantity can be grown in very small space. They 
are of the easiest culture, failure being practically impossible, and it can be safely estimated that the Dulbs will increase a
