We do a strictly cash business, and have no open accounts in the mail-order department. Our responsibility. We guarantee all goods to reach their destination in a live condition, but when we have done this our responsibility ceases, because we know that if they receive proper treatment they will grow nicely. Many plants die from careless treatment and neglect ; in such cases we cannot and should not be expected to replace them, as we cannot guarantee plants to grow when neglected. Our Aim. Rose-growing is almost a hobby with us, and our constant aim is to supply the best. It costs us more to grow this kind, for they require more room, more time, more care, and everything must be done thoroughly. But the experience of a lifetime has shown us how, and we do not skimp. When next you hear any one asking for dependable Rose Growers who sell good stock, please remem- ber these points about Haskell Avenue Floral Co.’s Roses. No guarantee. While we exercise the greatest care in executing all orders to keep our stock true to name, we give no warranty, expressed or implied, and cannot guarantee, or be in any way respon- sible for the crop, either as to variety or product. Errors. We make them ; so does every one ; and we will cheerfully correct ours. If you think we have made a mistake, write us about it. Try to do so good naturedly ; if not, do it anyway. Do not complain to any one else, or let it pass. We want an early opportunity to rectify ours. By our careful manner of packing we are able to send plants, etc., to all parts of the United States with perfect safety. Please favor us with an early order while stock is complete. Send post-office money order or draft on Eastern cities. If more convenient, money can be sent by express money order with perfect safety, as in case the letter is lost a duplicate can be obtained if you are careful to keep your receipt. Do not send individual checks, as it costs from 15 to 25 cents to get them cashed. It is not safe to send currency in letters unless registered. Money sent by ex- press must be prepaid by the sender. Money may be sent at our risk only when the above conditions are complied with. It will facilitate the dispatch of business if with each order the Order Sheet is used, and the name and address are written plainly and in full; also direct by what conveyance the articles may be sent. Please always particularly state whether plants are to be sent by mail or express. Express is always best where it can be done, and plants will be larger. When left to us we will use our best judgment. New low express rates. We call attention to the new low express rates, which is a reduction of 20 per cent from the regular merchandise rate, at which plants have been expressed heretofore, and also that packages of less than loo pounds are billed at loo-pound rates. Remember, plants can be shipped at a lower rate than any other class of merchandise. No orders sent C. 0. D. unless at least one-third of the amount is sent with order. Substituting. There has been so much complaint about florists substituting, that we shall, in the future, refund the money when we cannot furnish the varieties ordered, unless we are given the priv- ilege of sending other varieties. In all cases, when we are allowed to substitute, we will send some- thing as near like what was ordered as possible. At the present we believe we shall have ample stock of everything catalogued to meet the demand. Prompt filling of orders. We aim, as far as possible, to fill all orders the day after they reach us; bat in the busy rush of the spring trade it is sometimes impossible to do this, and then they are filled in strict rotation and as speedily as possible. We rarely hold an order for more than two or three days at the longest ; so please do not be impatient, but give us a little time and your order will have the most prompt attention possible. If you do not hear from us in five or six days, then drop us a line, for your order may have failed to reach us ; this will give us a chance to trace it, in case it has been miscarried, but you can depend on the most prompt execution possible in filling your orders.

No better Roses are grown by any establishment. We are near to the southern planters, and they can get their plants delivered fresh and already acclimated. They do not have to travel several days in closed boxes, subject to all kinds of unfavorable conditions. We do not grow a single sort that has not true merit. We aim to have every sort distinct, and avoid sorts that are so nearly alike that the difference is hardly detectable. We grow all Roses on their own roots. You need not fear that they will run wild, as is the case with all Roses that are budded on wild stock. We guarantee all plants to reach you in good condition, whether forwarded by mail or express to any part of the country. Our prices are as low as first-class plants can be possibly furnished at, allowing a reasonable margin for profit, prices that we could not possibly hold up if it were not for the large volume of business we do each season. We are Texas florists, and we want your business, and promise you first-class service and the best plants to be obtained anywhere.

A splendid addition to our limited number of summer-blooming varieties. Lucien De Lemos (LAMBERT) A large, globular Hybrid Tea, with very large outer petals on long, upright stalks ; warm pink, center rosy white ; flowers durable and fragrant ; free in bloom ; a nice grower.

It is remarkably free-flowering and possesses unusually fine keeping qualities. 30 cts. ^"Wellesley Rosalind Orr English. A New Hybrid Tea.

A very beautiful Hybrid Tea Rose. The color is an exquisite shade of deep shell-pink. It is free strong, heavy shoots, which are crowned with buds. '"Frau Karl Druschki. New White Hybrid Perpetual. A Rose that fills a long-felt want — a pure paper-white, free-flowering, large-sized hybrid perpetual. It is a remarkably handsome plant, with bright, heavy foliage and strong, upright growth. The bloom is perfect in form on fine, long stems, and of the purest possible white.

Use our Plant- and Rose-Foods and you will have plenty of flowers, healthy plants and large tips Wellesley Rose '''General McArthur. Color bright scarlet. One of the most fragrant of the June-scented Roses, and a true everbloomer. It is probably the strongest- growing Rose in the entire family, sending up thick canes con- tinuously, every one bearing a fine bloom. Lasts finely when cut, and is hardy out-of-doors with slight protection. The best ever- blooming Rose yet introduced. 30 cts. *Th. Baby Rambler tant addition to our list of bedding Roses for many years, and one which seems destined to become the leading popular bedding variety. It is a cross between Crimson Rambler and one of the dwarf Polyantha sorts, producing large trusses of bright crimson flowers similar to the Crimson Rambler, but instead of climbing the plants form dwarf, compact bushes not over 18 inches high, with clean, dark foliage, which is never attacked by disease or in- sects and is perfectly hardy ; but the most unique and novel feature about it is the phenomenal freedom with which it pro- duces flowers. In this respect it out-classes any Rose of any type known, the plant being never out of bloom from early spring until stopped by hard frost in the late autumn. 30 cts. Richmond Ro«e Killarney Rose Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas 5 Roses of Special Merit All the following sorts will be found first-class. We list the best of the old varieties and many that are of recent introduction; all of them are worthy of a place in your collection. Do not expect all varieties to be of the same size. Some under the same conditions make much larger and stronger plants than others but many of the weakest growers produce the most beautiful flowers. Exquisite beauty of form, color and sturdy vigor are seldom com- bined in Roses. The fall of the year is the time when Roses are in their perfection, and only then is it safe to judge a Rose. Sometimes the finest Roses produce a few single flowers ; in fact, all Roses are affected in color and quality by the heat of summer. tVith plants received by mail more care and precaution have to be taken on arrival. On all plants to be shipped by mail most of the soil has to be removed from the roots in order to lessen the weight, and damp moss and paper take the place of the soil. If the plants are the least willed on arrival, put them in lukewarm water, in a shallow pan. for about one hour, leaving the paper and moss undisturbed. This will soon restore their vitality.

One of the grandest of all Roses. No red Rose is more popular and no yard is complete without one or more of these beautiful Roses. If you have room for only one Rose, let it be this one. Small plants out of z-in. pots, 15 cts.; field-grown, 30 cts.' *Agrippina. Rich, velvety crimson ; a grand bedder. Admiral Schley (Red Burbank). This is a new bedding Rose of great excellence, sent by Mr. John Cook, of Baltimore, who has originated a number of our finest Roses. Best described as a red Burbank. A very free bloomer, and, we believe, has come to stay. ^Beatrix de Buisseret. Bud extraordinarily beauti- ful ; flower very large, quite full, of beautiful form and perfect texture; silvery rose and rosy carmine ; very free and fragrant. A seedling from Testout and a truly fine Rose. We believe this Rose will have a larger sale as soon as it becomes better known, and we feel justified in recommending it highly. Field-grown, 30c. *Bridesmaid. The most popular pink Tea Rose. Thousands of this variety are grown every year for cut-flowers ; also very desirable for summer bedding outdoors. A delightful shade of bright pink ; free-flowering and easily grown. *Bessie Brown. A Rose of transcendent beauty, totally dis- tinct, and one of the largest and fullest that we have ever seen. It is erect and vigorous in growth, flowering profusely in the open ground all through the summer ; so far (December) it shows fine flowers outside. The color, pure white, sometimes faintly flushed pink ; petals enormous and of shell shape ; it is marvelous that such large flowers can be so freely produced. Field-grown, 30c. Bridesmaid Rose American Beauty Rose 6 Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued Bon Silene. Still a prime favorite on account of its delightful fragrance and strong growth; deep rose, shaded carmine. One of the finest of the light red Roses. Vaulable for summer or winter flowers. *Bougere.

A pure white Rose of perfect form and fine size. The buds are long and pointed; the flower opens up beautiful and full ; delightfully scented. The most popular white Tea Rose. Crown Princess Victoria Rose Bride Rose Etoile de Lyon Rose *The Burbank Rose. The Burbank is one of the freest flower- ing Roses in cultivation. The flowers are double, of fine form, nearly 3 inches across. The color is a deep rose-pink, the center shading to beautiful soft rose. Comtesse de Frigneuse. In color charming ; in freedom of bloom second to none. The buds are long and pointed, and of good size. The color is deep golden yellow, with softer shade in- side of petal.

Makes a large, nicely shaped bush, with clean, bright foliage. *Clothilde Soupert. Begins to bloom when but 3 or 4 inches high, and is never without bloom if kept healthy. The full, double flowers are produced in sprays of three or more and are of the finest imaginable form. The outer petals are pearl-white, shading to a center of rosy pink, but vary sometimes from pure white to silvery rose on the same plant. *Catherine Mermet. Buds very large and globular ; petals re- curved, showing to advantage the lovely bright pink of the center, shading into light, creamy pink, reminding one of La France in its silvery shading. A strong grower and fine bloomer. *Crown Princess Victoria (White Malmaison). A sport from Souv. de la Malmaison, which it resembles very much in habit of growth and style of flower. The bud, which is slightly tinted yel- low, opens out into a fine double, pure white flower. Very fra- grant. A most desirable Rose. *Corallina. Deep rose-crimson; large petals, fine in bed form. Very strong-growing and free-blooming sort of great merit. We have great faith in the future of this Rose, and we believe it will be much sought after when it becomes better known. *Countess Dusy. We have found this a most useful and beauti- ful general-purpose Rose. It is dwarf in habit, extremely free and branching ingrowth, blooms in great profusion, and is pure white in color ; the buds are pointed, and the open flower of very large size. We strongly recommend this as an outdoor border Rose. *Duchesse de Brabrant. Soft, rosy flesh, changing to deep rose ; very free in bloom and valuable. *Etoile de Lyon. One of the best and most beautiful yellow Tea Roses for general planting; may be had in bloom the entire year by proper treatment. The flowers are of good size, deep, full, very sweet-scented, rich golden yellow. *Franz Deegan. A seedling from Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. Th is beautiful yellow Hybrid Tea is a fine grower, having dark, leathery foliage and the good habit of throwing up numerous heavy canes, each one crowned by a glorious flower of large size, com- posed of large petals ; the outer petals are about the color of Perle des jardins ; the inner petals are a good orange shade, very deep and rich. It is a constant bloomer, opening its buds freely ; a strong, healthy grower, not subject to mildew. A very promis- ing variety. *Gruss an Teplitz (Hybrid Tea) . As a bedding Rose this is one of the finest and most useful varieties ever sent out. Many of our customers who bought it last spring are realizing its value and singing its praises. It will take rank with Hermosa or Soupert. The color is brightest scarlet, shading to deep, rich velvety crim- son. It is very fragrant. The freest grower. Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas •7 ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued Gladys Harkncss Rose Hermosa Rose *Gladys Harkness.

The buds are long and pointed, opening out into well-shaped flowers of creamy white, delicately tinged with golden yellow and rose ; blooms continuously. *Hermosa. Always in bloom and always beautiful ; the color is a most pleasing shade of pink ; very fragrant. *Helen Gould (Balduin). Not only ourselves, but the general public believe this Rose to be one of the best cverblooming Roses ever in- troduced. Its color is quite attractive, being a soft, in- tense carmine, with shades of cerise and solferino very much the color of American Beauty. It blooms very freely and will endure ex- tremely cold weather with but slight protection. A grand Rose to add to our list, and one that every florist should introduce to his trade. *Helene Gambler. This lovely coppery yellow Hybrid Tea ever- blooming Rose will fill a long-felt want, from the fact that every- body has been looking and longing for a good yellow Rose that combines vigorous hardiness with rich color and free-blooming qualities. This Helene Cambier does. It is a new Rose of French origin, destined, we believe, to find a prominent place among the highest grade of ever-blooming Roses. *Ivory (White Golden Gate). It is a perfect Golden Gate in all respects except color, which is of the purest ivory-white. It has the same exquisite shape of bud as does the parent plant. We have found it a free and constant bloomer, and in all respects a first-class Rose. You will do well to include this beautiful Rose in your order. *Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A beautiful Rose with elegant, large-pointed buds and very large, full double flowers ; delicate creamy white; deliciously fragrant. The plant is a strong, healthy grower and constant bloomer. The flowers are on strong, stiff stems, with rich glossy foliage, making it one of the finest Roses for corsage wear or any use whatever. *Lady Battersea. This variety has long, pointed buds of the largest size, and is very strik- ing in form ; the color is bright cherry-crimson, often approaching the shade of Liberty. The stems are stiff and extremely long ; a vig- orous grower and free bloomer ; early in the season the flowers are not very double, but on strong plants the blooms are well filled. An unusually promising bedder. Kaiseria Augusta Victoria Rose Lady Mary Cory Rom Lady Mary Cory.

A long-pointed bud on a stiff, up- right stem, flowers borne singly ; the color is beautiful china rose, copper-salmon and golden yellow ; extremely free. A seedling of G. Nabbonnand and Laurette Messimey. *Mosella (Yellow Soupert). Mosella is a stronger grower *Mrs. B. R. Cant. A fine garden variety of even shade of salmon-rose, round and full, the form of a good Hy- brid Perpetual. Avery free grower and free bloomer. It flowers as continuously and freely as a China Rose, and is especially fine in autumn. A splendid addition to our standard bedders. *Marie Guillot. Splendid for any use ; especially desirable for summer Rose beds ; pure white, sometimes tinted pale yellow. *Meteor. Rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright and attrac- tive. The plant is of vigorous growth and very free-flowering. *Mrs. De Graw. An ideal bedding Rose that will give an abundance of bloom from early Mad. Jos. Schwar(z Rose M«t«or Rom and flowers a little larger than Clothilde Soupert, but appears the same in clusters and on single stems. The color is a chrome-yellow in the center, getting creamy white on the edges of the petals. It will make a great bedder ; perfectly hardy. *Marie Van Houtte. Is creamy white, outer petals outlined with bright rose ; occasionally the entire flower is suffused with light pink ; growth strong ; bloom profuse. *Mad. Francisca Kruger. Large flowers of beautiful copper-yel- low. Unlike any other Roses on our list. *Mad. Jos. Schwartz. One of the most hardy Tea Roses, and particularly adapted for open ground planting ; produces its bloom in great profusio-n ; color white, beautifully flushed with pink. Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas 0 ROSES OF SPECIAL MERIT, continued Prince de Bulgarie Rose Peail of the Garden Rose ^Mainan Cochet. An excellent pink Rose, with rich, long, straight stems; deep rosy pink, healthy foliage, and large flowers, on the inner side of petals silvery rose. Equally valuable for pot culture or outdoor planting. *Mad. Caroline Testout. Probably no Rose stands higher in public estimation today than La France, and when we say this elegant new Rose is a close counterpart of La France we have said enough to insure its being planted by vast numbers of people. We don’t know that it is any better than La France, but it is decidedly deeper and more brilliant in color and a larger flower, and is as good in other ways. It is a wonderful Rose. Niphetos. Still a great favorite and one of the best white Tea Roses. The buds are long and pointed, opening out into fine, large, pure white flowers. Much prized on account of its delightful fragrance. Pearl of the Garden. The form of this bud is round and sym- metrical ; growth strong, healthy, vigorous; color rich canary yellow. *Prince de Bulgarie. A very vigorous grower, with large, bright green foliage ; beautiful in bud ; flowers are very large and full ; the outer petals are extremely large, of superb rosy flesh-color; very fine and very free. First prize at the Paris Exposition. Very much like a superb Carnot in form. *Pink Soupert. This bright new Rose is a very free-flowering variety, much resembling Hermosa, but more double and flowering more freely. The flowers are not quite so large, full and handsome as our original Soupert, but fill a place because of their brightness and freedom. *Papa Gontier.

It has the same characteristics as its parent, and will give unalloyed satisfaction. Climbing Wootton. New, hardy everblooming crimson Rose.

HOW TO PLANT ROSES If field-grown plants, received by express, unwrap the roots and plunge them into a tub of water for a couple of hours. Spade up the ground all around where they are to be planted (not a little hole) good and deep, and pulverize the soil well; then make a good-sized hole and spread the roots out in their natural position, and draw a little soil to them ; then pack the soil tight, using your feet, a brick, or any heavy article; then draw on more soil and pack again, and so on until you have them planted. Mave the hole deep enough to have a little hollow around the plant when it is planted, so as to hold the water around the plant. Plant the rose a little deeper than it was before ; then give it a good watering — at least a large bucketful to each plant, and keep up the watering every other day until you get a good soaking rain ; and if it turns out dry after, then water again as before until the plants have a good start.

Field -Grown Roses We want to call your attention to the fact that field-grown Roses should be planted early to get the best results. We always do all replanting of field- grown Roses in the month of January. Why? Because if planted late in the season the roots [do not get a good hold on the soil before the top starts into growth ; and to have the best re- sults they should be planted early, so that the young roots, or workers, may get well formed before the top has started into growth. You can plant these, to have the best results, in De- cember, January and February. While they may be planted later and do well, with proper care, you will have much better results by planting very early, and much less care will be required. The young roots that form after plant- ing are what supports the plant, and the better chance these roots have to form and get hold of the ground, the better chance the plant has to thrive. It is not the old roots you want, but the new ones. They are the workers.

Luther Burbank, who has origi- nated so many wonderful new fruits, has turned his attention to flowers, and has astonished the floral world with a Daisy which seems to surpass anything he has ever produced in fruit. It is a perfectly hardy perennial that will be a great addi- tion to bedding-plants and to cut-flowers. The plants grow fast and increase rapidly. It is a fine bloomer. A bed of these giant white Daisies in full bloom is a sight worth seeing. The flowers measure 3>^ to 4 inches across, and are borne on stems 18 inches to 2 feet long. They have two rows of long, broad white petals and a yellow center. The foliage grows near the ground and the numerous long, slender-stemmed white flowers rise most gracefully amid the bed of green. It is a wonderfully effective bedding plant, blooming all through the spring and summer months. The flowers keep in water for two weeks, to cts. each, $i per doz. PARIS DAISIES (Marguerites) Very profitable for cut-flowers. Always in active demand because of the many uses to which they are adapted, and also very easily grown and handled. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz. Queen Alexandra. The new anemone-flowered Marguerite, or Paris Daisy. The single-flowered Paris Daisy has, for many years, been a favorite, not only as a cut-flower, but also as a decorative pot-plant, during the winter months; and we pre- Shuta Dais/ diet for this pretty double-flowered form even a greater future. The flowers are from zK to 3 inches in diameterand of a pure white color, the greater p e r c entage of these com- i n g full double, not unlike an Ane m one- f 1 o w e r e d Japanese C hrysanthe- m u m , but even the semi- double and single flowers, which appear on the same plant, are very handsome. 10 cts. each, $l per doz.

FICUS ELASTICA (Rubber Tree) The well-known Rubber Tree of commerce.

Boston Fern NEW DWARF BOSTON FERN (Nephrolepis Scotti) A dwarf, compact form of the favorite Boston Fern, in general appearance very much like the original form. It is just as gracefully drooping in habit of growth, but is more compact, making well-finished, shapely specimens in the smaller sizes, yet growing into grand large specimens in time. It has been exhibited at all principal plant shows the past two years, receiving high awards. There is no doubt but that, in a measure, it will supplant the old Boston Fern as a pot-plant for house culture, inasmuch as it never takes on that straggling appearance to which the old form is subject at certain stages ; and may be used to good effect in small jardinieres and ferneries. 10 cts., 25 cts., 75 cts. ■ 1 Maidenhair Fern THE BOSTON FERN (Nephrolepis Bostoniensis) This is a wonderfully healthy, rapid-growing and graceful house plant. In great demand. Many people have bought it in preference to the finest palms or rubber plants. Thrives in all rooms, gas or furnace heat does not seem to injure it. Fronds are often 6 to 7 feet long, a 4-inch plant increasing to 10-inch size in a year, besides making many new off-shoots. A good sized plant contains from 20 to 40 fronds, and the fresh ones continually coming out with new growth are very beautiful. Best of all for hanging baskets. Our plants are all well established in pots, not weak runners torn loose from soil. 10 cts., 25 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. Piersoni Fern (Ostrich Plume Fern). In habit of growth similar to the Boston, but differs from it in that the division of each frond is in turn sub- divided, giving a feathery appearance. 10 cts., 25 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas 27 HIBISCUS These free-blooming plants are unsurpassed for planting in the South ; they bloom freely, and no more attractive bedding plant can be had. An entire bed of these plants will make a very showy effect, and at the same time does not cost any more than an ordinary plant. They can be lifted and potted in the fall and kept in any pit or room where they do not freeze and then planted again in the springtime. VVe recommend these highly, and we think our friends will feel well repaid by planting them liberally, the single and double ones being alike desirable, and a good variation of colors can be had.

A new, very handsome Balsam from East Africa. It forms elegant bushes I to 2 feet in height and resembles in habit, foli- age and shape of flowers the popular Impatiem Sullaiii, but far surpasses the latter in its quicker and more vigorous growth and its larger and much brighter-colored flowers. Holstii produces two to four flowers on each peduncle and from three to five peduncles on the tops of the branches. The flowers measure i A inches across and are of a brilliant vermilion color — a gorgeous coloring. In a half- shady situation the plants grow luxuriantly out- of-doors and form effective and unusually showy flower-beds by their great abundance of bloom. If grown in pots this new Balsam is a first-class plant for the house. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. Try some of our new Roses.

One of the most delightful bloom- ing plants for the South ; its charming phlox-like flowers are produced in abundance the summer through ; the flowers are of an exquisite shade of blue, not found in any other flower, borne on long, graceful stems that give the whole plant a very attractive appearance. It makes a splendid vase plant, and is beautiful to plant around the base of a dwelling, or can be grown as an indi- vidual bush plant. Where it is planted around the base of a dwelling it makes a complete hedge, and if planted about two feet apart it will soon close up the space and give the building the appearance of having a foundation of flowers. Some very pretty effects of this nature are to be seen in this city each season ; admired by all who see them. Capensis alba. The same as the above, with the exception that the flowers are pure white. RUSSELLIA (Fife-Cracker Plant) The most beautiful of vase or basket plants. An entire basket filled with these beautiful drooping plants is an object of great beauty.

We have tried to grow double Tuberoses in Texas for a number of years, but with very poor success, the flowers always blighting when they open, and on this account give very poor satisfaction. Last year our atten- tion was called to the new Mexican Single Ever- blooming Tuberose, and we planted a large trial bed. We find this to be the most beautiful and useful Tuberose we have ever tried to grow. It blooms continuously, beginning in June and con- tinuing till frost, and the flowers are very fragrant. Any one can grow them. All they require is to be watered during the extremely warm weather. This flower will keep a week after being cut, and can be shipped long distances with good success. The bulbs can be left in' the ground during the winter in the southern part of the state. Where the weather is very cold, they should be dug up and put away in a cellar or some place where they will not freeze. Every bulb blooms, and they in- crease enormously. We want every one of our customers to get some of these bulbs this season, and we feel sure that they will all say, when they begin to bloom in the summer, that it is the best investment they have ever made in the flower line. 10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz.

Single flowers of deepest blue or purple, borne on stems 8 to 12 inches long. Can be worn nicely as a corsage bouquet. We grow large quantities of this variety for cut-flowers, and can rarely supply the demand.

California VioIeU 34 Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas PALMS Our collection of these truly grand or- namental plants is second to none, as our plants are all strong and well grown. We do not offer any small seedlings, but good strong p'ants from 4- to 6-inch pots ; these cannot be sent by mail, and will be sent by express only, as a plant such as could be sent by mail would be too small to be of much value to the amateur. We there- fore offer only such as we think will give good satisfaction. Our plants are splendid, and well worth twice the price we ask for them. If you are in want of a truly artistic jardiniere plant for parlor, library or porch. It will pay you to have a' few of these fine plants added to your order, for they are bargains that we cannot offer every time. Their culture demands plenty of water, good drainage and plenty of food. If you feed them liberally, you can grow a large specimen in a comparatively small pot. Our plant-food is the best to feed with, but if you do not have this you can use weak liquid manure water at least once in two weeks. Care should be taken to keep the foliage free from dust with a damp cloth or sponge. They respond well to good treatment.

They will please you HYDRANGEA PANICULATA GRANDIFLORA Most desirable, effective and popular ornamen- tal shrub extant, and its many distinct and strik- ing qualities at once commend it to general favor for yard or lawn decoration. The bush comes into bloom in July and August, yielding profuse, massive cone-shaped flowers of the purest white, which, as the season advances, changes to delicate pink, and later on to a rich coppery red. Seen in the yard or lawn while in full bloom, it is truly an imposing spectacle, the prodigal display of white affording such a charming contrast with the green of its surroundings. The period of bloom being late, and prolonged for two or three months, at a season when other flowers are scarce and inferior, it serves to impart a degree of summer freshness to the landscape.

Jackmani. Its rapidity of growth, match- less freedom of bloom, and the superb vel- vety purple of its large flowers have always been held in that relation toward other Clematises which Jacqueminot holds to hardy roses. The blooms are royal, coming in great numbers continuously from July until winter. Perhaps three times as many Jackmani are grown as all the other varie- ties combined. 2-year-old plants, 50 cts. Hair« Honeysuckle (See page 40) CLEMATIS, continued flowers being 6 inches in diameter ; and from their wavy, graceful contour, when wafted by a slight breeze, the flowers resemble huge butterflies hovering among the green leaves. They are all climbers, and if trained carefully attain a height of 5 to 15 feet in one season. Hardy, but a light covering of leaves or straw during the winter is desirable until fully established. Our Clematises are all on their own roots, therefore can not throw up wild shoots, as grafted plants are apt to do. Paniculata. New Sweet-scented Japan Clem- atis.

ClematU Jackmani 4(1 Haskell Avenue Floral Company, Dallas, Texas Wistarias HONEYSUCKLES 25 cts. eacb For real home vines, to be near you, climbing over your windows and doorways, there is noth- ing prettierthan fine, sweet-scented Honeysuckles; the foliage is pretty, neat and clean, the flowers almost continuous, and the fragrance delicious. Golden-leaved. Marvelously effective. It bears innumerable sprays of the most perfect little leaves that are covered with a network of gold and green, often marked with pink also.

These flowers are produced in profusion from early spring until late fall. WISTARIAS For trailing over buildings, piazzas, verandas, or trellises, the Wistaria is of superior excellence, and the decorative features — which their long, graceful, pendant blossoms afford — are particu- larly pleasing and effective. The foliage is ex- ceedingly rich and attractive and not too dense — half-concealing and half-revealing the object which it covers, which feature admits of a fine artistic effect or detail. The different varieties are entirely hardy, rapid growers and easy to cultivate. They may be trained to a shrub form of habit by at- tention to pruning, by cutting away the new growth for several seasons. We can supply white and purple. 25 cts.

Horack McFarland Co.. Horticultural Printkrs. Harrisburc, Pa. Our Plant- and Rose -Foods We would call your attention to these truly meritorious articles. They are first-class food->, especially prepared for the plants they are intended for. The Rose-food is the same as we use in the cultivation of roses, and our patrons can use it with the utmost confidence. We do not use any other manures in growing roses. The food contains just the requirements for making strong growth and producing large flowers. We use tons of this preparation each season, and while we have the richest soil naturally, this food gives the plants in the field a rich, heavy growth that they would not get from the mother soil, and in the growing of plants in pots we can double the size in the same length of time. We produce a larger plant in three months than is generally grown in six months. Plants that we propagate in December are plenty large for planting in April; and they have the health and vigor that make their s-uccess a foregone conclusion. It will pay you to try this food. The Plant-food is a mixture different from the Rose-food, and is especially prepared for the general class of bedding and pot -plants, such as begonias, ferns, palms and, in fact, all plants. It is not so strong as the Rose-food, and will not hurt any plant. If the directions are followed it will build up the puniest specimen to a good, healthy growth, and will produce blooms in abundance. The many testi- monials we have received the past season are ample proof that this food gives the best satisfaction. This food is put up in good-sized packages, and full directions for its use are printed on each package. We trust you will try these foods the coming season, for we know you will be well pleased with the results, but be sure and follow the printed instructions on back of each package, and use at regular intervals. Don’t use once a week and then once a month, but use as directed, and you will be well repaid for your efforts. Prices of Plant-food and Rose-food are the same, namely, single bo?£ 25 cts. ; 5 boxes for $1 ; or 12 boxes for $2, by express. If to go by mail, add 10 cts. to each box for postage.
