OIIOWN with Vaughan’s White and other Vaughan introductions at the 
^ Kalamazoo show of the American Gladiolus Society last summer, our 
new giant purple, a sport of Baron Hulot, was the sensation of the show. 
Mrs. Francis King, whose opinion has world-wide authority, requested the 
privilege of naming it, and christened it: “SOVEREIGN”, the fitness of 
which is instantly recognized by all who view its stately splendor and 
royal hue. Mr. J. W. Crow, the gladiolus specialist of Simcoe, Ont., 
writes: “I consider this the most important and sensational of the new 
varieties I have seen in my travels. To my mind it represents as great an 
advance over Baron Hulot as the latter must have done over existing 
sorts in its own color section when it was first introduced.” 
A limited number of bulbs are offered at $3.00 each, postpaid. 
Vaughan’s Rainbow Mixture of Gladioli 
Our list is not confined to our own introductions, but includes all varieties 
from this country and abroad, which deserve recognition. From 
bulbs of these named varieties grown on our own farms, we prepare the 
Rainbow Mixture, which we believe is unexcelled anywhere. Per dozen, 
$1 postpaid; by express, not prepaid, 50 for $3.00; 100 for $5.50; 500 for 
$23.00.

ROSES 
That Bring 
Keen Delight 
“Roses purchased from you 
last Spring,” wrote an enthusi¬ 
astic Rose lover, “gave wonder¬ 
ful results and surpassed all ex¬ 
pectations.” 
Rosedale Roses are field- 
grown, heavy two-year-old plants—never potted plants. 
Planted early, they will bloom in June and the Everbloom- 
ing varieties will keep right on until sharp frosts come. 
Our Hybrid Teas include the very cream of constant 
bloomers. Then there are the Climbers—Dr. W. Van 
Fleet, Dorothy Perkins, Excelsa, etc.—the best hardy 
sorts in both two and three-year plants. And if you want 
to surprise your friends and neighbors plant a few Stand¬ 
ard (Tree-form) Roses. 
Of course you will want our Spring Catalog which describes 
Roses for every purpose, also Evergreens in 77 varieties, Shade 
Trees and Small Fruits especially adapted for home use. Our 
Bearing-Size Fruit Trees soon delight the palate as well as the 
eye. More and more they are being planted as lawn specimens.

The various rooms have, in a measure, contributed to the atmosphere 
of the garden. Thus, the style of this dining room is in perfect harmony 
with the garden’s style 
An Intimate Garden 
(Continued from page 146 ) 
twilight evenings coffee is served there. 
In this simple, little old place one 
constantly lives out of doors. 
The garden, not over SO' from the 
house, is connected by stepping stones 
with the garden living room. A large 
French window, like a wide door, leads 
into the garden. The five windows and 
door are all framed in a glazed chintz 
copied from an old English document, 
a cream white ground, upon which are 
salmon pink zinnias and a blue delph¬ 
inium. The curtains are edged with a 
binding of a plain blue delphinium 
colored glazed chintz. Pieces of furniture 
are covered in this same shade in a 
rough homespun material Hooked rugs 
bring out the same tones, while through 
the large window looking out in the gar¬ 
den you see the chintz reproduced. The 
beds of salmon pink zinnias are banked 
against the stalks of blue delphinium, 
white phlox in their season or white 
foxglove carries out the idea which ap¬ 
pears from time to time in the chintz. 
The room “carries on” into the garden 
and the garden finds its way into the 
room. Quaint old-fashioned arbors 
made from cedar posts with salmon 
pink Dorothy Perkins roses with here 
and there beds of blue veronica and 
cornflowers are backgrounds for the 
pink- 
Some years ago I was visiting a 
charming old lady in Surrey who was 
fortunate enough to have inherited a 
beautiful house built by Sir Christopher 
Wren. The grounds and large formal 
gardens were noted for their beauty, 
but her particular pride was her own 
morning room whose many low win¬ 
dows formed an ideal “garden room” 
opening into a marvelously beautiful 
rose garden not over 125' square, and 
one continual bloom from early spring 
until frost. The low brick walls 
around it treasured the rarest varieties 
that money or friends could gather 
together for her pleasure. Here in the 
early morning she picked her own 
loved flowers to fill the rare crystal 
bowls that were scattered about her 
rooms. 
With its beautiful proportioned white 
paneling, it was indeed a “garden 
room” of exquisite beauty, where her 
delicate cameo loveliness formed a 
never-to-be-forgotten picture. 
After all why shouldn’t one have 
their delight close at hand without 
having to wander through long paths 
or wet grass whenever they want to
