Roses 
Grootendorst—Often called the carnation rose 
because each rose is about the same size and col- 
or as a carnation. It will have as many as a dozen 
flowers in a cluster and blooms from June until 
out in October. Entirely hardy. Grows to about 
3 feet. 2-year bushes, each $1.25. 
Hansa—It has large double red flowers all sum- 
mer on a 5-foot bush. It will perform best if the 
oldest wood is kept cut out, and the new growth 
should also be cut back in the spring in order to 
keep it compact. It will, however, thrive for many 
years without attention. 2-year plants, each $1.25, 
French Lilacs 
Everyone admires lilac flowers, but no one likes 
the suckering habit of the old kind. These new 
French Lilacs do not send out those pesky suck- 
ers, the plants bloom longer, and the flowers are 
larger. The fiowers last twice as long as the com- 
mon ones do. The plants we have on hand are 
ready to bloom, have an excellent root system 
and should be sure to grow. Plant lilacs deep, at 
least three inches deeper than grown in the nur- 
sery. We dig’ French Lilacs with ball of dirt. 
Congo—When at its best this Lilac is sensational 
with its immense single wine red flowers. 3-ft. 
size, each $2.50. 
Katherine Havemeyer—Has a very double rich 
mauve-pink blossom. Dependable, 18-24 inch, each 
$2.00. 
Leon Gambetta—One of the best, if not the best 
double pink, 18-24 inch, each $2.00. 
Double Red—One of the good double reds of 
which we lost the name. 4 to 5 ft., each $3.00. 
Villosa—A different type of lilac, taller and faster 
growing, has light pink blossoms considerably 
later than the others. Does not sucker at all. 3-ft. 
size, each $1.00. 
Peonies | 
No other flowers will give as much delight and 
satisfaction for as little care as do peonies. They 
wil, of course, do better with better care. They 
like cultivation, and if possible should be planted 
not too close to trees. Depth of planting is im- 
portant. If planted deeper than two inches they 
may not bloom, if too shallow they will dry out. 
Water thoroughly when planting. After the dirt
