All Especially Prepared For The Purpose
Every year there are more especially adapted forcing plants being planted by the florists. In order to follow the
trend, we are continuously preparing larger quantities of popular varieties. Our long experience in this particular
branch of our business has enabled us to select the proper plants for forcing and also prepare them for you so
that you will not suffer any losses. Before shipping, this material is properly frost cured and handled at
times best adapted for the purpose. Most all hardy plants for forcing should be started off in cool temperature
for about two weeks and later increased to regular Carnation temperature.
We are listing on these two pages the popular varieties together with cultural hints. For complete descriptions,
please consult our regular alphabetical listing. If you wish further information, we will be very glad if you
will call on us. May we suggest that you place your order early so that we can make reservations of this espe¬
cially prepared forcing material for shipment at the proper time. This will assure you additional profits during
the dull winter months.

Asters. These little plants grow to a height of 10 to 15 inches, producing very showy flowers in September,

comes explains that they are summer
flowering bush form plants. For a good

A DISTINCT NEW INTRODUCTION
Develops into a beautiful bushy plant, growing to a height of 5 to 6 feet
and almost the same in spread. Makes a very striking plant in any land¬
scape, flowering from the middle of June until frost. The individual flow¬
er heads are quite large and when fully developed they make a solid
round head opening full length.
The flowers are a clear lavender pink, an entirely new color never before
seen in Buddleias. On bright sunny days they appear clear pink, while in
floral work under electric lights they are a pleasing soft pink. In basket
work or the larger types of floral designs this Buddleia can be used as the
main flower; because of its desirable color it blends beautifully with light
blue Delphiniums or practically all seasonable flowers. This is a really a
pink Buddleia, entirely different than any other varieties in cultivation
today. We very highly recommend that you make a planting of this re¬
markable new Buddleia Charming.

Our large plantings of Gypsophila Bristol Fairy when in full flower remind you of ocean mist. The above is
a field view of one of our plantings. For this fall we have one of the largest plantings ever of the most excel¬
lent quality roots.
Veixj Pcpulai
GYPSOPHILA
REPENS BODGERI
GYPSOPHILA
BRISTOL FAIRY
GYPSOPHILA
ROSY VEIL
Grows to a height of 12 inches with
a spread of 1 8 to 24 inches. Pro¬
duces the first season double white
flowers which in three or four days
turn to flesh pink. It is an ever-
bloomer, from early spring until late
fall. Within two years from the time
of its introduction, we have sold
practically as many Bodgeri as the
well known Bristol Fairy. The rea¬
son for this heavy run of sales we
believe is due to the fact that
Bodgeri is an everbloomer, filling in
the gap between crops of Bristol
Fairy. We have for shipment this
fall extra fine quality plants of a
type that will give you good crops of
flowers.
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $12.00
The value of Gypsophila in the
florist trade is now universally re¬
cognized and really no florist can
afford to be without a nice planting.
We have in our fields excellent
quality strong two year field grown
roots which will provide good crops
of flowers for a period of years. Due
to our methods of propagation we
are recognized as leaders in the
production of fine quality Gypso¬
phila. Annually we ship very large
quantities to all parts of the United
States. We are again prepared to
take care of your requirements and
assure you that you will have good
results if you make a planting of our
plants.
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $17.50
A Novelty of European introduction,
for the first time available in quan¬
tity. In character it is in every way
like the very popular Bodgeri, ex¬
cept that this variety comes out a
very pretty pronounced pink, mak¬
ing a wonderful companion for the
preceding. Rosy Veil is very valuable
in floral work for very often this
shade of pink will add the finishing
touch to set off a design in beautiful
style. Furthermore, by having both
Bodgeri and Rosy Veil as fillers, you
can create altogether different ef¬
fects. This is also an everbloomer,
producing flowers practically all
summer, in beautiful clusters, which
are very effective in floral pieces.

PSEUDACORUS. 36 to 48 inches. This is
a particularly valuable species for several
reasons. First, it is a rich yellow color,
which color is entirely lacking in Siberian
Iris and it is especially attractive mixed
with the Siberians. Second, it will grow
in marsh or swampy land, even with 2 or
3 inches of water over it, and makes a
pretty picture in shallow water or along
the water’s edge. Third, it is excellent
for naturalizing, as it will take care of
itself in the most rugged surroundings,
self-sowing and perpetuating itself. It is
an English species. It will also grow in
dry soil.

The ordinary Iris Siberica is too well known for detailed description. We
cannot help, however, bringing to your attention the fine assortment of varieties
that we are listing below. We do not know of anything that is more striking than
a nice planting of Siberian Iris in early spring. They grow to a height of 3 to 4
feet. Good established clumps will produce from 15 to 30 long flower spikes.
Vases displayed in a living room create a wonderful atmosphere. In addition to
landscape plantings they are ideal for bordering brooks or ponds.

HARDY VINCA

shine, the Vincas will always make a very
desirable ground cover and they also pro¬
duce flowers. Florists who have ceme¬
tery business can make good use of Vincas
for planting on graves, also in vases and
hanging baskets. A nice planting of these
is always profitable. We list here a very
good assortment at reasonable price.s.

METHOD OF SHIPPING
During our years of experience in the nursery business, we have
found that the method of shipping is as essential as the growing of
the plant itself. Unless otherwise instructed, practically all plants are
forwarded by Railway Express. This is the speediest and most reliable
service that we know of today, also very economical.
We have frequent pick-ups daily right from our packing house
and various trains are met with our shipments. We have found that
plants for destinations within a radius of 400 miles are ordinarily
delivered the next day, those traveling to distances of 500 to 1000
miles, the second or third day. This wonderful service, coupled with
a good job of packing, assures you of receiving your plants promptly
and in the best of condition.

WHOLESALE LIST FOR FLORISTS, LANDSCAPERS AND NURSERYMEN
PERENNIAL SEEDS
For Late Autumn And Winter Sowing
Many perennial seeds give best results from late fall sowing and freezing is required to induce germination. In other cases,
though freezing is not essential, the seeds are dormant for some months after sowing, and getting them sown in the fall
usually means an early spring start, and more growth the folllowing season.
Methods of Sowing
Most of these seeds may be handled in
either one of two ways, depending on
the grower’s preference, and whether
or not a greenhouse is available. For
the grower who has no greenhouse, or
does not wish to use greenhouse space,
the seed may be sown in well prepared
soil in the cold frame any time before
the ground freezes. Protect to pre¬
vent washing of the seed, and mulch
lightly to keep the sun out. The seeds
will germinate in early spring and the
plants may be moved as soon as large
enough.
However, some time may be saved if
you sow the seeds in the fall in flats,
setting the flats in the frames. Then
in January or early February, bring the
flats into a cool greenhouse to start
early growth. By this method, you can
get good sized plants to set out into the
field in May.
Trollius Seed
If you have a gi-eenhouse, follow this
treatment — sow the seed in flats out¬
doors in November or early December.
Leave outdoors until February when you
can bring into the greenhouse under
temperature of 45 to 55 degrees. The
soil will gradually thaw out and the
seedlings should be up in three weeks.
There should be plenty of moisture in
the soil to germinate the seed. Move
into pots and keep the plants growing.
You can usually pot them up in March
and set out-doors in April. After the
seeds germinate, it is important to keep
them growing.
If you have no greenhouse, sow the seed
in frames. They will germinate in early
spring and the plants should be left
right in the frames for transplanting
the following September.
Send us your requirements for
all other perennial seeds.
Our listing of perennial seeds is one of
the most complete available anywhere.
Our contact and experience with peren¬
nials allows us to supply the best strains
from all over the world and we can
earnestly solicit the business of the
grower who wants the best in seed.
Early orders are of advantage to both
the buyer and the seller.
