ROSES 
T he Roses in the following list are reasonably hardy in New England. In 
very severe winters the climbing varieties may be killed back but are seldom 
entirely lost. It is a wise precaution, after settled cold weather (about 
Thanksgiving) to hill dirt up ten inches high around the plant and put leaves, 
straw, manure or evergreen boughs over the dirt. When selling oul new Roses il is 
well lo motind up Ihe soil six inches high around Ihem unlil Ihey slarl, lo prevent Ihe 
canes from drying.

BULBS TO BE PLANTED IN THE FALL 
In September we receive from Holland and France those choice Spring-flowering 
bulbs that must be planted in October and November to give color in the garden next 
April and May—Tulips, early, double, and late, in all their glorious colors; the dainty 
blue Chionodoxa, Glory of the Snow; Crocus, in rich yellow and purple; Muscari, 
diminutive Grape Hyacinths in shades of blue; &illa or Squills, vivid blue bells; stately 
white Madonna Lilies. In August we issue a list of these Fall bulbs with prices. Please 
ask us to send you a copy. Our bulbs are of fine quality, direct from the growers in 
Europe, and are very reasonable in price. 
BIRD HOUSES AND FEEDERS 
Wild birds are so intimately connected with gardens, and are so effective in helping 
to destroy many plant pests that everything possible should be done to attract them. 
It is natural therefore, in addition to the berry-bearing shrubs and trees in our list, that 
we should offer bird houses and feeders of all kinds. We carry in stock the distinctive 
ones made of cedar shingles by Mr. L. Ferdinand which are especially durable; also 
many of the practical styles made by Mr. Welles Bishop; and many others. The houses 
are specially designed for blue-birds, swallows, chickadees, wrens, robins, and flickers 
and vary in price from $1.00 to $2.00 each. The feeders are of various designs, some with 
cages for suet, some with hoppers for seed, some with glass tops for use on window sills, 
and large ones that swing on a post. The feeders are from 75 cts. to.$5.50 each. We carry 
also injall and winter sunflower seed, mixed seed, and suet cakes.
