SUCCESS WITH PERENNIALS 
The chain of success with perennials is made up of the following 
links. The chain is no stronger than its weakest link. Lack of 
successful perennial planting will result when any one link fails. 
1. Prepare the soil deeply and thoroughly. Remember that a 
perennial bed must remain for some years. 
2. Use plenty of fertilizer. A complete fertilizer or bone meal 
will result in strong plants and abundant flowers. 
3. Arrange the plants so that they are suited to the space allotted 
to them; put the tallest ones at the back, using such sorts as may 
be depended upon for a good foliage background. Let some of the 
taller sorts extend toward the front, especially in the wider parts of 
the bed or border. This avoids monotony and gives interest. Pro¬ 
vide for choice edging plants which are compact in growth. 
4. Select plants which produce an abundance of bloom through¬ 
out a long season for the main stand-bys of the border. Tuck a few 
choice or lesser known sorts in the spaces between the dependables. 
5. Choose colors with care. Avoid the close association of the 
various shades and tints of the different reds, combining the scar¬ 
lets, oranges and salmons together, but not near the crimsons, 
magentas and lavender-rose colors. Use white flowers to separate 
doubtful colors; but do not use white too abundantly. 
6. Be sure to buy Bordeaux Mixture in March, so that you are 
prepared to start spraying Peonies, Phlox, Hollyhocks and Del¬ 
phiniums early. Spray the plants and the soil as soon as growing 
starts, and repeat every week. Use according to directions on the 
can in which the Bordeaux Mixture is purchased. 
7. Have arsenate of lead and nicotine extract on hand. Use a 
spray or dust of arsenate of lead for all insects or caterpillars which 
chew holes in the leaves. Use nicotine sulphate or tobacco extract 
for the various plant lice, aphids or other sucking mouth-part in¬ 
sects. With the latter class it will be necessary to hit the insects 
with the spray. 
8. Cultivate the soil between the plants so that there is a con¬ 
stant layer of loose soil about them. This will help to eliminate the 
need for watering perennials. 
9. Transplant each sort when it becomes greatly crowded, or 
seems to be ill-adapted to the location. Most sorts can be divided 
into several pieces to increase the number of plants. 
10. Give the plants a protection for winter.

SPECIAL NOTICE 
Seeds and all Unbloomed Seedlings, though offered in Separate 
Colors, must be accepted as from mother plants only of the colors 
indicated, with no warranty, expressed or implied, that the progeny 
will be constant to the parent colors. 
PLEASE DO NOTE 
The proportion of true color shades may vary from 85% to 95%, 
the balance being recessive types of earlier parentage. If you must 
have exact color lines, named sorts (from cuttings or division) 
alone are absolutely reliable. 
ATTENTION! IMPORTANT NOTICE. READ IT! 
Always add 10% to the total amount of your plant and bulb 
order, if you want them sent by mail postpaid, to cover pack¬ 
ing and postal charges, except where quoted as “postpaid”. IP YOU 
DON’T DO IT YOUR PLANTS WILL BE SENT BY EXPRESS, 
charges collect. At our low prices we can not afford to pay parcel 
post charges to Eastern points at the rate of 15c per lb. and 25c 
for 2 pounds. It is best to send perishable plants by express, any¬ 
way; they travel faster and much safer. Each parcel is handled 
individually and not stuffed into a canvas sack. It is especially 
important in the Spring, when the plants are full of rising sap and 
the weather liable to turn warm any day. If they must go by mail 
it is advisable to mail them by “SPECIAL HANDLING”. It costs 
10c per pound up to 3 pounds, and 15c over that, which kindly add 
to your remittance if you want them sent that way. 
NO PLANT ORDERS ARE FILLED FOR LESS THAN $1, UNLESS 
YOU ADD 25c FOR HANDLING AND PACKING 
CHARGES AND POSTAGE PAID. 
(And you must not count your seed and bulb orders as plants 
and add them to the total of your order; plants are handled separ¬ 
ately and packed and mailed separately from the seeds and bulbs.) 
No Shipment of Plants After March 20th 
Please note that owing to our mild winters plant life here awak¬ 
ens so early in this Puget Sound country that it is inadvisable to 
make shipments of DELPHINIUMS, AQUILEGIA, LUPINE, and 
BLEEDING HEART after March 20th, except to nearby states.

their fine points and good quality. Prices, $1.00, $1.50 and $2.50 each. 
We advise express shipments, charges collect. 
SMALL CLUMPLETS AND SEEDLINGS. All clumplets and 
our so-called advanced seedlings have already bloomed last fall and 
they will make large clumps in your garden this summer. They will 
produce 4 to 6 and more blooming stalks this summer. The 
ADVANCED SEEDLINGS 3 and 4. Prom 2 strains. Pudor’s 
Prize Winner Strain from our best seeds at $1.60 per doz., postpaid

paid; 3 for 90c, delivered (not less sold). 
If you want your plants mailed “Special Handling” add 15c per 
doz., or 10c for 6 and less. If you want them sent by Express (the 
safest and quickest way) charges collect, we will give you credit 
for the postage and send extra plants. 
BABY SEEDLINGS. We sell tens of thousands; these are from 
our best seeds sown last fall. They will bloom late this summer and 
our experience for years has proven that they ship well and give 
great satisfaction to our customers, but they have to be handled 
and treated as just what they are, “Baby Seedlings”. Sometimes 
there are some losses, but we always give liberal count to make up 
for a few losses. Price 75c per dozen, postpaid. No reduction for 
quantity and the supply is not large this Spring. 10c extra for 
Special Handling. 
BLACKMORE & LANGDON STRAIN. Producing magnificent 
tall plants in dark and light shades. We can sell you only the 
mixture. No large clumps for sale, only small clumps and advanced 
seedlings at the same prices and under same conditions as the fore¬ 
going Price Winner Strain. And no baby seedlings of this strain 
this Spring. 
PURE WHITE DELPHINIUMS. Small Baby Seedlings sown 
from white seeds last fall, 90c per doz., postpaid. We cannot guar¬ 
antee that they will all bloom white; there will be some blues among 
them, as the whites do not breed true yet; BUT OURS WILL 95% 
in another season. Special handling 10c extra. 
ADVANCED WHITE SEEDLINGS. One year old; much larger 
than seedlings, $2.00 per dozen, although most of these have already 
bloomed (white) there will still be a few blues among them that have 
not bloomed. We have pulled out of the rows all plants that showed 
blue flowers this past summer. These blues that still appear among 
the whites are very fine, some of entrancing colors; violet and 
mother of pearl color, and the whites which you will get, some might 
be as fine or better than our WHITE WONDER, some will be 
Black Velvety-Eyed. 
WHITE CLUMPS. Plants guaranteed to produce WHITE 
FLOWERS, 2-year old stock. $1.00, $1.50 and $2.50 per clump. Here 
QUALITY counts, not the size of the clump. We might send you a 
very large clump for one dollar, and a much smaller one for $2.50. 
By the way, the white hybrids grow slower than the blues; some¬ 
times it takes three years to get an established big clump that will 
produce a dozen or more beautiful white spikes. 
WHITE PLANTS WITH BLACK BEES. Rare. $1.50 with small 
black centers, $2.50 with large black centers. We are now breeding 
BLACK VELVETY-EYED WHITES with flowers 3 inches in diam¬ 
eter and a great big black shining bee; beautiful, stunning things. 
They are breeding true in their third generation. We might have 
some seeds to spare this coming summer. Please note, we do not 
offer seedlings this Spring of black-eyed whites; only 2-year old 
clumps as listed above.
