Coleys 
are Noted 
for their Fine 
Evergreens 
Cole’s Evergreens give a 
feeling of richness to the home 
landscajje, especially during 
the Winter months when the 
ground is covered with snow 
and other trees and plants 
have lost their foliage. Fall 
jdanting will give you this 
fine touch to your planting 
all Winter long and the Evergreens will be well established before the hot, 
drying suns of the next Summer.

ommendations and quote you. Every type and size can be supplied from

Fall ^ulbs 
The war in Europe will prevent the usual supply of 
Holland bulbs reaching this country unless a last 
minute change in the situation occurs. American

we are able to obtain from reliable sources. 
We can furnish Narcissus bulbs in the following 
varieties: 
King Alfred. The most popular Narcissus. Rich, 
golden yellow. Large trumpet. 40c. for 3, $1.10 
per 10, $2.25 per 25. 
Emperor, Deep primrose perianth; rich full yellow 
trumpet. 35c. for 3, $1.00 per 10, $2.00 per 25. 
Laurens Koster. Perianth white with golden yellow 
eye. A delightfully fragrant Poetaz type that can 
be grown indoors as well as outdoors. 35c. for 3, 
$1.00 per 10, $2.25 per 25. 
Horace. Poeticus type with snow-white broad peri¬ 
anth with canary-yellow cup, edged red. 30c. for 3, 
90c. per 10, $1.75 per 25.

quickly-grown common mail-order plants.
