Bulb Planting Tables

Number of Bulbs Required for Planting Different Sized Beds of Tulips or Hyacinths

Everyone can afford a bed of flowering bulbs. They bloom so early, make such handsome and showy displays and require so little care that their general use is increasing each year. The best effect in bulb beds is obtained by planting to solid colors, but if variety is wanted we would not advise you to select over two or three colors. Too many colors spoil the whole effect. A very satisfactory way is to plant a solid center with one or two of the outer rows of another color; a pleasing effect is obtained by divid- ing the bed into four sections, planting each in a separate color. As the circular bed is the most popular and satisfactory, we use it as a basis to figure on. In ordering bulbs for the mixed beds and for the number contained in the two outer rows of different sized beds refer to table below.

No. Bulbs Required for Two

Diameter	Total No.	Bulbs Required	Outer Circles Only
of Bed	Tulips	Hyacinths	Tulips	Hyacinths
3 feet	64	36	50	31
4 feet	113	50	87	45
5 feet	177	80	87	57
6 feet	254	120	104	69
7 feet	346	160	122	82
8 feet	452	210	140	95
9 feet	573	270	160	110
10 feet	707	330	180	120

NOTE — Plant Tulips four inches apart in the rows and rows four inches apart. Hyacinths six inches apart and rows six inehes apart. Narcissi same as Hyacinths. For Crocus, Snowdrops, etc., plant double the number of Tulips. See ehnrt below.

Hyacinths

“Sprung from the blood of Hyacinthus , the youth beloved of Apollo ’ ’ is the fabled origin of these 1 graceful waxlike flowers.

Folks of ancient days almost worshiped flowers as dieties; now they love them j

as friends, and none are more loved than the hyacinths. From early winter to late spring they give us companionship when other flowers are asleep. We delight in offering hyacinth bulbs of high quality at “quantity affording” prices. Our named varieties have massive spikes of bloom of the most beautiful shades, from white through blush to pink, rose and deepest red, from delicate porcelain blues to blue black and from cream to yellow, apricot and orange.

Our Top Grade. For those who want to produce exhibition blooms of the grandest size and finest quality. Extra choice, large, round, solid bulbs, secured from our Holland growers. Excellent for forcing and pot culture.

Our A Grade. The most popular grade, lower in cost and of wonderfully fine quality. Especially for bedding as well as pot culture.

Our B Grade. An especially desirable quality for those wanting to have an abundance of plants and not requiring the largest exhibition blooms.

A trial will prove that each grade is far above the average for the price.

Bedding Hyacinths

100 for $12.00

A superior grade of selected bulbs, especially for planting out doors for beds, borders or large displays; also very good for forcing. Single. Dis- tinct colors; pink, red, pure white, yellow, dark blue and light blue. Mention color.

Each, 15c; dozen, $1.60; 100, $12.00. Postpaid to fourth zone, inclusive.

Prices same as on the Single. General Kohler. Bright blue; large spike; extra fine for forcing. Goethe. Light yellow; strong spike;

large, very double bells.

Isabella. Blue white; large spike, beautiful double bells.

Outdoor Culture. The preferable plant- ing season is October, November and De- cember, although good results may be obtained when planted somewhat later. Plant so tops of bulbs are 2 to 3 inches below the surface and 6 to 8 inches apart. Bed must be well drained so bulbs will not rot.

Indoor Culture in Pots. For winter

blooming, plant from September to De- cember, the earlier the better, one bulb to a 4-inch pot or three to a 6-inch, with top half inch below the surface. Cover with litter and keep in dark, cool cellar, watering well until roots are well estab- lished. This takes 4 to 6 weeks; after this the bloom is easily developed by giving light, heat and water. One can have flowers from Christmas to Easter by regulating time of bringing to light.

Culture in Glasses. When growing bulbs in water they should be placed so the base of bulb merely touches the water. Then place glass in a cool, dark place until filled with roots, after which bring into the light. Change the water every few days. Give as much fresh air as possible without draughts and keep in temperature of 60 degrees until spikes are well developed.

Single Early Tulips

EXTRA SELECT LARGE, SOLID BULBS

In masses or in small beds, tulips produce a very beautiful and striking effect. They are equally de- sirable as pot plants and are always sure to bloom. All single tulips force easily and some varieties may be had in flower by the end of the year. Any good garden soil will grow them to perfection and no bulb makes such a gorgeous display with so little care.

Outdoors. Early or late planting does not seem to have much effect on tulips, rhey should be planted in fresh, rich soil. Two handfuls of bone meal per square yard and some sheep guano is beneficial. Por Indoors. Plant about 4 bulbs to a 6-mch pan or pot, treating the same as hyacinths (see page 5).

Dutch Breeder Tulips

[Select breeders for dark colors}

Breeder tulips have become very popular in America during the past few years. Majestic in size, remarkable in color and lasting qualities, they are especially suited for garden effects.

Each flower a marvel of beauty; the colors are delicate and artistic, and they are the best of all tulips for cutting. May- flowering tulips appear at their best in borders, fore- grounds of shrubbery or walls, or out-of-the-way corners of the garden where, if left undisturbed they will bloom with increasing beauty for years. Plant about 4 in. deep.

Culture. Plant in fall if possible but as late as December will give ellent results. Depth to t is iy2 the depth of bulb, which gives a covering 2 to 3 inches of soil. Any garden soil not recently ma- nured is satisfactory, but deep, moist loam is best. Dry or sandy ground should be dug deeply, well manured and planted to po- tatoes for a season first. The best fer- tilizer is ground bone which can be used with safety on poor, sandy soil.

Pot Culture. The bulbs should be planted as soon as received as the ear- liest plantings insure the finest flowers. In pottings use good turfy loam, but let no manure of any kind touch the bulb. Set in a cool, dark room for a month or two, until well rooted, then remove to the light for flowering. (All bulbs pre- fer a cool atmosphere. Be careful not to grow them too warm.) Do not culti- vate too much as extra vigor of growth injures purity of color.

For succession of bloom, we have num- bered the varieties in their relative earli- ness. No. 1, early March; No. 2, late March; No. 3, early April; No. 4, late April; No. 5, May.

Daffodils will thrive and their exquisite perfume, earn- ness, free blooming and long keeping qualities endear them to everyone. Once planted in the garden or field they need no further attention, but will thrive and perpetuate them- selves, increasing in beauty for years. They are very desirable for pot culture. By planting in succession a wonderful display may be enjoyed for several months. Partial shade is preferred but they grow splendidly in any situation.

PEONIES

Our list of Peonies includes some of the most beautiful varieties in existence; some are very rare and will well repay their cost in their extra- ordinary blooms. Prices f.o.b. Portland.

The ranks of Peony lovers are increas- ing rapidly, and for those who have only limited time for the care of flowers, nothing will give so much joy and sat- isfaction and endure so long as these wonderful flowers — the Peonies. Color schemes are not necessary for beautiful effects, any combination is delightful. Peonies make a gorgeous display wheth- er in landscape, flower bed, border or garden. By selecting a comprehensive assortment to include colors, types, fragrance and seasons the greatest en- joyment is possible. Peonies are nearly always free from disease, insects do not bother them and they succeed in any soil or climate. The first year bloom is as a rule poor, no matter how well they are planted, but they improve quickly season after season and each year flower and plant become increasingly beautiful.

Culture. Fall is the best time to plant, because blooms will usually follow the next spring, although planting may be done in early spring. Peonies need a deep soil, not too much gravel, a good clay loam is best, and work soil to a good depth. Give a good dressing of lime at planting time and repeat every second year. Bone meal is also good to work in the bed. Cover the crown not over 3 inches deep and plant, if possible, in partial shade. When cutting Peonies allow at least two leaves to remain on each stem; the roots need these lungs for full growth. Do not remove foliage until it is thoroughly dead.

Hardy Iris

(“Iris” means “The Rainbow”)

ALSO KNOWN AS GERMAN IRIS.

LIBERTY IRIS, BEARDED IRIS, FLEUR-DE-LIS, FLAG LILIES

The growing of the Iris is greatly in- creasing each year on account of their rare beauty as well as ease of growing. They are hardy, drouth resisting; they come at a time when the garden needs their color, they bloom the first season after planting and soon form wonderful big clumps which are easily divided and transplanted.

Cultivation is easy; sunny situation need- ed; soil dry and well drained (Iris cannot stand water around the roots). Plant with bulb just below the surface, spread the roots out and pack the soil. No fertilizer should touch rhizomes. Fall planting is preferable. Water about once in two weeks until well established. Bone meal and finely ground limestone are good fertilizers.

Japanese Iris

'XaempSeril

are almost too beauti- to attempt a description; all the col- ors of the rainbow are gathered into their wonderful, vivid, yet harmonious shadings and silky texture. The flowers average about four feet in height and 5 to 7 inches across, although in the hands of experts they reach the great size of 12 inches. They are surely worth a choice place in every garden. Bach year the clumps increase in size and the flow- ers become more beautiful.

Culture. They are very unlike Hardy Iris in culture. Japanese Iris require plenty of water and good soil to get the best blooms; they do especially well on the borders of streams or ponds. A good dressing of Bone Meal and Nitrate of Soda is a big help when planting. Plant about 3 inches deep and 4 inches apart, divide the clumps every other year. They bloom after the Hardy Iris.

Doubles have six petals; singles have three petals.

Perennial Rock or Alpine Plants

Important — The popularity of rock gardens has increased so greatly that we have at con- siderable time and effort prepared an exceptionally complete and fine list of the perennials especially suited for this purpose. In fact, the list is so complete it is impossible to show pictures of them ; however, we have tried to make the descriptions short and clear, and we are sure you will enjoy reading through the entire list as much as we have enjoyed preparing it and that the selections you make for your “rockery” will be most pleasing to you.

With the exception of a few of the newest and most rare varieties, our plants are field grown, are given constant care and cultivation and when sent out are strong and well developed ; much larger and worth a great deal more money than pot-grown plants.

While we endeavor to secure the best possible seeds from the most reliable sources, we cannot guarantee, as to form and color, any plants propagated from seed, especially hybrids. Please do not specify straight colors on hybrids that are listed “in mixture of colors only.”

In our annual spring catalog you will find a complete list of hardy perennials, including many new and rare varieties for borders and bedding as well as rockeries.

If you contemplate large plantings or special effects, let us know your plans or require- ments. We can supply in any quantity for every requirement at lowest prices.

HINTS ON PLANTING A ROCK GARDEN

The most important points in planting a rock garden are (1st) exposure; plant a sun-loving plant where it gets the full sun, and the shade-lovers where they are pro- tected from the sun, and the moisture-lov- ing plants where they will not die of thirst. (2nd) soil; Mr. Correvon, the eminent au- thority on Alpines, says: The flora of the Alps depends, in a much greater degree than that of the plains, on the chemical na- ture of the soil. So be sure to get plants that suit the soil in your garden, or change the soil to meet the requirements of the plants which you are to plant.

In placing your rocks in the garden, be very sure that there are no air spaces be- neath the surface of the soil or surface stones. Many Alpine plants have been lost from want of observing this precau- tion, the open crevices and loose texture of the soil permitting the dry air to de- stroy them in a very short time.

The majority of Alpines being early spring flowering, it should be the aim of everybody planting a rock garden to have several summer-blooming perennials in their garden.

TWO YEAR Field Grown

DIAMOND qxjajjIXY ROSES are large, sturdy, two-year-old, field-grown roses that will give you splendid flowers the first season. They are true to name and our list includes the best of the well-known popular varieties, the most meritorious of recent novelties and the Gold Medal roses of famous European growers.

The Time to Plant. Roses may be planted either in the Fall or Spring. It should be done early, and we earnestly request our friends to place their Spring orders in mid-Winter so that shipment can be made at the most favorable time.

Planting’. Deep preparation of soil is urged. Be sure to stir ground thoroughly to a depth of 18 inches and at least two feet if soil is inclined to be wet or soggy, filling in extra 6 inches with stones to insure drainage. Bone meal worked into ground at time of planting is a big help, using a large trowelful to a plant. Sheep manure in a little larger proportion is also good. If planting in the Fall prune tops but slightly but be sure to trim all root ends back unless this has been done at the nursery. In the Spring trim back all branches to not more than 4 eyes. Plant at least 2 inches deeper than the crown from which sprouts arise.

Cultivation and Protection. Keep soil well stirred but do not cultivate deeper than 2 inches. Soak ground when you do water and then do not water again until the surface is quite dry. Be sure to protect roses from insects and disease by spraying. We handle a full line of the essential sprays.

Shipping*. We always send all our two-year-old rose bushes charges collect by express or freight, packing so they will carry safely even though they should be on the road for two weeks or more. If necessary, we can send small two-year-old bushes by mail, but in such cases we always prune the tops and roots ready for planting. Add 5c postage for each bush.

It is impossible to list the hundreds of varieties of roses that are now on the market, but we have selected what we consider the choicest and best to list in our catalog. Please state if we may replace sold out varieties with others equally as good. This will save possible delays.

Deciduous Shrubs

Deliveries are made from November until May, orders are accepted at any time for delivery

in season.

We use every precaution to deliver healthy, vigorous stock, but the measure of your success will depend upon the planting and care given, as careless or ignorant handling kills thousands of fine trees and plants every season. Avoid unnecessary exposure of roots to the air. In the case of evergreens that are “balled,” do not remove the burlap. Plant as received, only cut the string around the top, then loosen burlap after tree is set. If you cannot plant immediately on receipt, always “heel” in so roots may be in contact with good soil.

If the soil is good and properly prepared, only a hole large enough to easily take the roots need be dug, but better results can always be obtained by digging out a large space and filling in with good top soil. In setting the trees, do not put deeper than they stood in the nursery, excepting some dwarfs, which go a little deeper. Be Sure to Pack Earth Solidly Around Roots. Neglect of this is responsible for many failures.

is Fertilizer!

Fertilizers are simply plant foods, administered more scientifically and in better proportions than they are provided in the natural soil. Horses pigs hens, birds and people do not thrive on the same diet, and the same is true of plant life. Wonders have been accomplished in transplanting plants of all kinds from all parts of the globe to our own gardens, but to get the BEST results we should add to the soil additional “foods” in order to force their growth and health to the highest

^A* complete list of practical fertilizers is given below, but if more information is desS write for our SPECIAL FERTILIZER BOOKLET. It is instructive, reliable, of great value, and is free.

Diamond Plant Pood. For ferns, palms and house plants, highly concentrated, producing luxuriant foliage and larger, more brilliant flowers. A 40c pkg. will feed a dozen large plants for a year. Instructions on each pkg. i£-lb.pkg.25c; postpaid 35c; l-lb.pkg.40c; postpaid 50c.

Diamond Odorless Lawn and Rose Fer- tilizer. Promotes a vigorous, healthy growth, giving the desired dark rich green appearance; can be used at the time seed is planted and later as a top dressing. 100 lbs. is sufficient for an ordinary city lot, is far more effec- tive and less objectionable than stable manure. Remember, it contains no weed seeds. When used as a top dress- ing it is best to make several light ap- plications about two weeks apart. 10 lbs. 50c; 25 lbs. $1.00; 50 lbs. $1.65; 100 lbs, $3.00; ton $57.00.

Diamond General and Vegetable Fertil- izer. An all-round fertilizer, which can be used on any crop, but is espe- cially adapted for grain and general farm crops. 10 lbs. 50c; 100 lbs. $2.60; ton $50.00.

Diamond Fruit and Onion Fertilizer,

Also used for blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc. 10 lbs. 50c; 100 lbs. $2.85 ; ton $55.00.

Bone Meal. Fine ground, one of the best fertilizers. A very valuable enricher of the soil, and one of the most eco- nomical. 5 lbs. 30c; 10 lbs. 50c; 100 lbs, $2.50; ton $48.00.

Sheep Guano. The best natural manure, dried and ground. Concentrated, sol- uble; quick in action, and free from weed seed. Splendid for vegetables; fine for roses and flowers. Excellent for lawns. 10 lbs. 40c; 25 lbs. 75c; 50 lbs. $1.00; 100 lbs. $1.50; ton $23.00.

Superphosphate. A concentrated form of phosphoric acid. Per lb. 5c; 100 lbs. $1.75; ton $33.00.

Tankage. Meat scraps and bone, dessi- cated in a vacuum, very rich in phos- phoric acid and nitrogen. Per 100-lb. sack $2.80; ton $54.00.

Nitrate of Soda. For immediate re- sults Nitrate of Soda is the very best for stimulating and forcing the grow7th of plants or any other crop. 1 lb. 10c; 100 lbs. $3.35; ton $65.00.

Fish Guano. Fish cooked, dried and ground is a strong fertilizer, rich in nitrogen, carrying considerable phos- phorous and largely used by vegetable growers. We do not recommend this for lawns or city use, as odor is ob- jectionable. 100 lbs. $3.50; ton $68.00.

Hydrated Lime. 100 lbs. $1.50.

Muriate. Carries 50% and upwards Pot- ash. 100 lbs. $2.60; ton $50.00.

Sulphur, Diamond “S” Brand. One of the most valuable fertilizing materials that can be applied to the soil. Not only taken up as a powerful stimulant by practically all classes of vegetation, but making available the insoluble potash and phosphoric acid contained in all soils as well as being an effect- ive fungicide and insecticide. Apply one to two sacks per acre. Finely powdered and 100% pure. Price 110 lbs. $3.30. Write for prices in quan- tities.

Floranid. 92 times stronger than man- ure. Clean, odorless, stainless. For flowers, vegetables, berries, shrubs, lawns, ornamental and fruit trees. The most highly concentrated nitrogen fer- tilizer, containing 46% available nitro- gen (equivalent to 55*4% ammonia.) No other fertilizing material contains anything like as high a percentage. Nitrogen is one of the principal con- stituents of plant food. It is the one that is first to affect the plants, pro- ducing quick and vigorous growth. Nearly all soils are deficient in nitro- gen.

Fertility of soil is defined as the power to produce crops. Fertility is dependent upon water, air, light, temperature, plant food in the form of chemical consistency, soil bac- teria and texture. When rightly handled Peat Moss is a valuable material for maintaining the soil fertility; it adds humus, making the land more pliable, and improves the general texture.

The United States Department of Agri- culture has proven that the plant’s growth is directly in proportion to the water holding capacity of the soil, pri- marily because soil capable of moisture retention will also retain most of the other natural and immediately available plant foods. Peat Moss mixed with soil gives a greater facility for holding wa- ter; for instance, in making lawns, with Peat Moss added to the soil, it will re-

tain its moisture longer and make a more luxurious lawn. Applying to roses ^ and other plants, it keeps the soil in better condition for the growing of the plants. Peat Moss should be used in all landscape gardening mixed with the soil. It should also be used in all bulb beds. The use of Peat Moss should usu- ally be at the rate of one bale to about 250 square feet.

Peat Moss is not sold by weight. It comes in bales containing about 13 cubic feet and is capable of absorbing seven or eight times its weight of water.

This is the genuine imported Peat Moss. We have the FINE for nursery- men and florists; also the MEDIUM which is used mainly by poultrymen for a litter instead of straw as it has been found more satisfactory by large poul- trymen and costs less for the quantity used than straw would cost. Another thing not to be lost sight of it that when used as a litter in the henhouse it makes an extra fine fertilizer for the garden or lawn after use.

FINE. Price per bale, $3.75.

MEDIUM. Price, per bale, $4.00.
