The Essence of Punctuality is to
Get Started in Time
And Keep Going
There's not much news in the above
little remark but there is a lot of sound
common sense. If you memorize the three
lines and follow out' the idea, you will get a
lot more happiness out of life. Get started
in time with .our order for roses, narcissus
and other flowers j'ou know you want to
plant this Fall. In the first place you have
the order ofT your mind and, in any case,
ordering early is a good habit. We ship
at the right time for planting.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
The reason for making your calendar a
reminder is because it probably is looked
at every day. Put a strong X on October
1st as a reminder to order bulbs that day,
without fail, if they have not already been
ordered.
Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and cro-
cuses, also Peonies, must be ordered in
the Fall if good results are to be expected.

The American Rose Society
believes in facts and not fulsome wordy
descriptions about Roses. Therefore, it
distributes oflicial record cards to its
members. Every point worth recording is
printed and all that is necessary is to check
the kind of bud, bloom, foliage, etc. If you
are or are not a member of the American
Rose Society and would like to pake a
report on some favorite Roses in your
garden, we feel sure the editor of the Rose
Annual, Dr. J. Horace McFarland, Harris-
burg, Penna., will be glad to send you
some record cards without charge.
The annual membership fee, $3.00,
entitles you to a copy of the 200 page Rose
Annual, which in itself is worth $5.00 and
is supplied to members only.

This picture was taken in the world-famous Bagatelle rose garden
A corner in Bagatelle Rose Garden where Rose growers from all over the world com-
pete for prizes offered by The City of Paris. Our Mr. Nicolas was one of the judges this
year, when the new yellow Rose Ville de Paris was the prize winner.
Yellow Roses seem to have a special
appeal for most people. They embody the
essence of sunshine, especially the rich
clear lemon and buttercup yellows like
Souv. de Claudius Fernet, Mabel Morse
and Mrs. Beckwith.
By far the most popular yellow is
Duchess of Wellington. This rose is
hardier than most others in this color; it is
a vigorous grower and the delicious rich
tea fragrance would make it desirable if it
had nothing else to recommend it.
Roses — For Fall Planting
Nurserymen, who have had all the
experience that comes from years and years
of working with plants, will tell you can-
didly that roses planted in the Fall, when
planted right, give better results than
spring-planted roses, because they get
their roots established during late Fall,
before winter sets in, and are ready to
grow vigorously as soon as Spring opens.
Tn,' Fall planting this jear. There's a
lot of joy in knowing ^our roses are in the
ground and growing, while other folks are
just getting theirs planted.

On June 18th
we had 26 varieties of hardy climbing
roses in bloom on the fence, along the road
leading to our greenhouses and packing
sheds.
Dr. W. Van Fleet and American Pillar
were the leaders, but two that do not get
much mention should be included with
them. Coronation and Evangeline.
Coronation blooms cover the plant with
perfectly double crimson-scarlet flowers
with a dainty flake of white in the center
of the quilled petals, making this a unique
rose. Evangeline is the daintiest of the
hardy climbers. The outside edges of
the white petals are flushed with delicate
apple-blossom pink. If you know of any
more beautiful hardy climber than Evan-
