Break O’ Day Rose 

“Break O’ Day” Rose 
A New Type of Rose to Revolutionize the Rose Industry. 
“Break O’ Day” is the direct result of 35 years of Rose Breed- 
ing for the purpose of producing certain definite improvements 
in the rose family. The result is an entirely new type of rose 
never before produced. The flowers are very large, with 60 
petals, exquisitely fragrant and superior to anything in com- 
merce in Hybrid Tea Roses. The bush produces many times 
the number of flowers produced by the most vigorous Hybrid 
Tea Rose, being loaded with flowers all summer and fall. But 
one of the greatest achievements in “Break O’ Day” Rose is 
its life expectancy of 40 to 50 years. Instead of planting a 
hybrid tea rose to enjoy a few years of blossoms, you will now 
plant this new type of rose for a life-time of flowers. 
AND IT IS SUB-ZERO HARDY and will make 4 to 5 foot 
specimens, three feet in diameter, constantly covered with 
blossoms; or you may keep them trimmed back as desired. 
To reproduce this rose in color in the illustration at the left 
was the despair of the artist, with its many changing salmon, 
apricot and pink tints, all blended together in a delightful 
harmony. The color leans more towards the pink tone and is 
much more handsome than the illustration. Extra Strong 
Two Year Old Field Grown ‘‘Cream Quality”? plants 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. 
Lily Pons Rose 
5) 
“Lily Pons” is the result of the same 35 years of cross breeding 
as ‘“Break O’ Day,”’ with all of its good qualities as described 
above. “Lily Pons” is the second of this new group of Sub- 
Zero Hardy Improved Hybrid Tea Roses. It is undoubtedly 
the greatest achievement in roses to-day. Such perfection was 
never seen in a rose before. 
It is a huge flower, as fine as the finest hothouse grown rose 
as charming and brilliant as the voice of the singer for whom 
it was named. The flowers are five and one-half inches across 
and freely produced all summer. The centre is yellow, shading 
to white outer petals. 
$1.50 each; 3 for $3.75. 
“Treasure Chest” Hardy Daylily Collection 
On my visits to Newport, home of millionaires, I have noticed 
that the Daylily is a feature of many of the showplaces of this 
marvelous community, where magnificent gardens and estates 
are the rule. And it is natural that they should be, as there is 
no flower that produces a more marvelous display. For the 
small garden or large estate they are equally appropriate and 
they are so hardy that, when once planted, they need prac- 
tically no care. They do equally well in the semi-tropical 
temperatures of Florida and California, or in temperatures of 
25 to 30 degrees below zero in our northern states. They will 
naturalize themselves in the woodland, or in a wild garden, 
and take care of themselves when once planted. 
The “TREASURE CHEST” collection consists of 
6 Varieties, Each Labelled, for $2.50 
or 8 Varieties Unlabelled for $2.50 
In ordering if you do not mention which you prefer I will 
send the 8 varieties unlabelled for $2.50, because of its better 
value. In each case each variety will be different and all will 
be fine strong flowering size plants. I will give personal at- 
tention to the selection of the varieties to give the longest 
flowering season and best color range and will include varieties 
that flower from May to September. 
Plantain Lily 
The Plantain Lily is the easiest of all plants to grow and vies 
with the Daylily in vigour, hardiness, ease of culture, and 
beauty of flowers and foliage. The variety I am offering, 
‘“‘Hostea Subcordata Grandiflora,”’ is the finest of all Plantain 
Lilies with ornamental foliage and large, snow white, fragraant 
blossoms resembling Easter Lilies and almost as large. These 
Plantain Lilies are so hardy that they will grow anywhere, in 
sun or shade with practically no care. They are equally at- 
tractive in a wild garden or in a border or a bed by,themselves. 
Wherever planted they will take care of themselves. Do not 
confuse this variety, which is quite rare, with ordinary Plan- 
tain Lilies. Five strong flowering size plants—75c each; 
3 for $2.00; 6 for $3.50; 12 for $6.50; 100 for $50.00.
