N e Mae, sf am Jefe = I ‘Know: it — with the catalog. Having been ill at |
_ | home or in the hospital from early Nov. through Feb., | find it still |. a bit difficult to get very much enthused over the garden. But with | a combination of a catostrophic Nov. freeze and late excessive wet
A t | and cold in Jan. and Feb., | find many of our plants not saleable. |
| Old standbys like alyssum, arabis, and dianthus have either “gone
| plants which we would be happy fo receive and therefore we are | not listing Rhododendrons, Roses, and a host of other material that
| may have recovered by fall. We hope our next year’s list will be | enlarged and ee at 3 |
| We have small amounts of many plants not listed. Write us | regarding your needs. — :
| Our selection of English Ferns has increased greatly. They vary | considerably in texture and size from small 8 inch specimen plants
| for the front of the border, to the taller heavily crested sorts for
| your background plantings. Do plan to visit our fern house, to see
iY the many varieties we have, as they are most difficult to describe |
| in mere words. In June they will reach maturity and can then be | seen in all their glory, , i
Heights given in our descriptions are ultimate sizes. Plants sent
i Buna not usually mature specimens. We can often furnish a variety of sizes at proy :
are grown from cuttings to insure true dwarf character.
vA Please do read terms of sale carefully! ! We can send larger
| plants if you will ee adie charges. We do not pay transporta-
_ | tion on s rubs and dwarf trees.
ee Ga renever it is posable we would like to have you visit our | garden. We are situated on a paved road one-half block east of the

Mo \ ; ;
| interurban grade crossing at Jennings Lodge. If you con- |
| fused, ask anybody in the neighborhood. We have been here 40 | years. We live at the garden, so there is almost sure to be someone beara: ome you, no matter what time of day you chance to come.

CARL STARKER'S ALBUM OF ARRANGEMENTS
This newest book by Carl Starker, which came off the press last summer, far surpasses his justly popular and much-read “West- ern Flower Arrangements.” Containing in excess of 300 pages, with more than 200 black and white photographs and 24 plates in nat- ural color—many of these taken by Charles Conkling, outstanding Northwest color photographer—this is a book which any flower- lover would wish to have in his library!
The author has divided the book into the four seasons of the year, plus a special section on Holiday arrangements, and another on the use of dry materials. A horticultural index is included to stimulate the owner in locating ideas to better utilize his materials.
This is a book you will treasure in your home, and one which your relatives and friends will enjoy receiving as a gift, for it will be invaluable to anyone who wishes to beautify his home with flow- ers.
We heartily recommend this book, and know you'll like it, and want a copy for your home. We will be pleased to autograph copies, if you desire. Price $7.50 per copy, postpaid.
Copies of our first book “Western Flower Arrangement” are again available at the old price of $2.50 per copy. This is the 3rd printing. The book contains 100 photos in black and white, none of which duplicate the ones in “The Album,” and has 7 chapters on how and what to do. It has long been on required reading lists for judging schools.
Autographed copies will be sent if desired.
FLOWER ARRANGERS SUPPLY SHOP
Due to recent demand we now have a small supply shop for flower arrangers. We have a nice range of good shapes and glazes in containers as well as some figurines, clay, frogs, mats, sea fans, contorted palm fronds, and a wide variety of seed pods and other dry materials. We also stock ribbons, wire and corsage supplies.
We have been very fortunate to find a source of supply of Chinese and Japanese teak and cherrywood bases. We have many other bases in mahogany, fir and other hardwoods.
We now have exquisite Egyptian pewter washed copper, Italian Alabaster and handsome East Indian brass containers as well as Erickson glass and Hyalin porcelains. Recently we have added Swedish and Danish wooden bird figurines.
We have a wide assortment of mats, rectangular or round, made of various materials such as sweet grass, bamboo, reeds, etc., from Hawaii, The Philippines and China.
As yet we have no catalog but invite correspondence on this material.

HEATHER
The dwarf heathers, which are such good shrubs for the rockery, are listed under so many scientific names that it is difficult for the ordinary gardner to keep track of them all; therefore we have sought to simplify matters by listing them all under one heading. There are no finer rock garden shrubs than the heathers; their foliage is always neat, and the fact that the different sorts bloom at different seasons, makes it possible to have one or another of them in bloom at almost any time of year. All heathers require a loose, peaty soil, and will be improved if they are cut back after flowering, as this tends to make them more compact. They need full sun to bloom well. We are very proud of our large selection. They are priced according to size and rarity.

[IRIS SECTION
We have so many kinds of irises, that it seems easier and better to devote a section of our catalog entirely to them. Even then we do not feel that we have done them justice in our descriptions of them; they are so varied and so individual. This is especially true in the case of the iris species, which differ so greatly in size, habit and general require- ments. We feel sure that if they were better known, the iris species would be much more extensively planted. If they are chosen with care, it is possible to have some species or variety of iris in bloom at almost every season of the year.
We are glad to have you visit us at any time, for we almost always have some sort of iris in bloom, and it is much more satifactory to select your plants when you can see them in bloom. If you can’t come to see - us, we will be glad to give you additional information by letter.

JAPANESE IRIS
Japanese irises are very valuable because they bloom later than almost any other sort. The: beautifully colored flowers are larger than those of other irises, and are well adapted for use as cut flowers. They crow well in sun, but will do well in half shade also. They like acid, and will thrive in a moist situation, but will grow well and bloom under ordinary garden conditions if given plenty of moisture before the bloom- ing season. The number in parenthesis after the name indicates the number of petals.

SIBERIAN [RISES
Siberian irises are not nearly so well known as they deserve to be. This is largely due to the fact that the newer varieties are not well known. Until you have grown a few of the newer Siberian irises, you will have no idea how greatly they have been improved in size and color in recent years. They are graceful and lovely, and make excellent cut flowers, lending themselves well to flower arrangements. They will grow in semi-shaded and boggy situations, although they are just as well suited to regular garden conditions. They prefer a slightly acid soil.
