| st | The Grand Plum--Maynard ut

We introduce the Maynard with every confidence that it will prove the peer of any plum that has heretofore been propagated and do so with every assurance that it will prove a great acquisi- tion to the home garden and orchard and will be a most profitable plum for the commercial orchardist, combining, as it does, large size, excellent flavor and color, with shipping qualities not found in any plum. When we consider that samples of the Maynard were shipped through the mails during the warmest months of summer from Santa Rosa, California across the mountains and plains to Vermont, and were returned to Mr. Burbank at Santa Rosa in perfect condition, it becomes evident that the Maynard combines the great carrying qualities necessary for long distance shipment which is the essential consideration in a shipping plum, and one which is often lacking in varieties possessing flavor and other good qualities

The horticultural public have been for many years looking for a plum that would give them not only the fine quality that would remind their city customers of the fruit eaten in youthful days. but would also admit of being carried to distant markets in perfect condition. Mr. Burbank him- self, the greatest originator of plums in the world, has striven for many years to accomplish this end, and in the many splendid plums he has previously introduced, has often almost reached this point of perfection

In the Maynard he has given to the horticultural world his latest and greatest effort in the plum line and we believe he has reached the point of perfection. The Maynard begins to ripen about July !st, at Santa Rosa California following closely after that other magnificent intro- tion of Burbank — Climax, and just at a season of the year when plums are in best demand in the great markets; but instead of coming and going swiftly as is the regretable habit of plums. the sea- son of ripening for the Maynard extends all through July and far into August.

{n size it is very large, often measuring seven and one-half inches or more in circumference: form nearly round, slightly flattened at the ends; of richest crimson-purple, deepening to royal damask as full ripeness is reached. A more beautiful fruit were hard to imagine. The flesh is firm even when dead ripe, but melting and juicy. with a deliciousness indescribable. Beside this combination of beauties to delight the eye and palate. the ripe fruits have a charming fragrance unusual to plums. Few fruits could please so many of the senses as this new beauty, now added to Mr. Burbank’s list of triumphs.

In vigor of tree and babit of growth it far surpasses any other plum. Inits evolution Mr Bur- bank has preserved to a remarkable degree every desirable trait. carefully suppressing the thorny, slender, sprangling tree-habit of plums, and we have it sturdy, strong, and a very rapid grower, spreading just as large as it onght to and no more. It fruits heavily every year, not overbearing, but yielding a full, vigorous, satisfactory crep. Add to these admirable points the fact of its heavy, luxuriant foliage and its habit of bearing its burden of fruit on the inside of the tree, where is the greatest strength, and we have little else to ask for in a plum

When we consider the many thousands of fruits that Mr, Burbank originates and the few that he introduces, we have a better appreciation of the great care he exercises in sending out a new variety. He has made it arule never to offer to the public any of his specialties until he has thoroughly tested them himself, from every standpoint. and feels satisfied that they are an improve- ment over varieties previously introduced, and although Mr Burbank received such flattering comments on the Maynard in July, 1900, as these wortls from Prof Maynard, the eminent horti culturalist, in whose honor the plum was named: ‘I consider this the best plum, all things con= sidered, that | have seen on your place to-day.’’ Mr Burbank went on and fruited it for two more years before offering it for sale, making five years in all that Mr. Burbank has fruited the Maynard in his famous experimental and testing grounds, always watching for some weak point that might develop in this new fruit. It was not until he had thoroughly satisfied himself that the Maynard possessed unusual points of beauty, favor, and shipping qualities of the fruit, together with a vigorous. hardy and healthy growth of tree that he consented to introduce it

In the Maynard Plum we have a tree that is perfection itself—a strong, vigorous constitution, dense, compact head with large. apricot like leaves, thickly distributed over the entire tree form- ing a protection for the young fruit from winds and rains in the early spring, and a shelter from the intense heat of the sun laterin the season The branches are strong and sturdy, well able to bear up the heavy load of fruit which the Maynard always brings forth.

HY ACINTHS

DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE.

The Hyacinth is one of the most beautiful and fra- grant of the Bulbous Flowers, and is particularly desir- able for either garden, pot, or glass culture. The pre- ferable season for planting Hyacinths in the garden is in October and November; but they can be set out at any time, as long as the ground is open and the bulbs sound. They will grow in almost any light, sandy soil; but when the highest cultivation is aimed at, they should be planted in a mixture composed of one-third river or sea sand, one third well-rotted cow manure, and one-third good garden mold. The beds composed of the above compost should be well dug. Bulbs should be planted about four inches deep, and from six to eight inches apart.

For the culture of Hyacinths in pots prepare the above compost. On the size of the pot depends the number of bulbs which may be planted in a single one; three or four bulbs in a pot of six or seven inches in diameter has a rich and massive effect; one or two bulbs may be planted in proportionately smaller pots; two bulbs of different colors are very effective and generally pre- ferred. In potting, each bulb should remain two-thirds above the surface of the soil; when thus planted, water them well to imbed the bulbs firmly within the soil, allowing them to remain in this condition for three or four days; then bury the pots in open ground to the depth of six inches, for six weeks. After the period adverted to, take up the pots and remove them to a moderately warm room, care being taken to screen the leaf growth for a few days after being disem- bedded. They will need occasional watering.

For culture in glasses, the bulbs should be so placed that only the base Fig: i Yk of each touch the water; then place them for the first ten days in a dark yall SNS HET /"\ + closet or room, to promote the starting of the roots, after which expose Hyacinths.

them to the light and air. A small piece of charcoal dropped into the glass will keep the water pure, but the loss of water by evaporation should be restored from time to time.

ROMAN HYACINTHS

This beautiful and very valuable variety, if planted in October and gently forced, will bloom in December, or flowering may be retarded until Christmas by keeping in cool place. The flowers, which are smaller than those of the ordinary hyacinth, are produced in great profusion, each bulb throwing up three or four spikes of delicately scented, clear white blossoms, highly recommended for parlor decoration.

SPANISH IRIS

Spanish Tris.

The earliest bloomer of all the Irises, and par-

ticularly recommended for culture in pots or in the open ground. For outdoor culture, the best effect is obtained by planting in beds or groups of 50 to 100 or more bulbs. The larger the num- ber the finer the effect. The bulbs should be planted two to three inches deep and six inches apart, as early in the autumn as obtainable... For pot culture, use five or six bulbs to a five-inch pot, and treat the same way as Hyacinth.

The fcllowing named varieties are the latest introductions and those best suited for commer- cial or amateur planting:

(Mariposa Turnips.)

BUTTERFLY TULIPS—To this lovely group of calcchorti is properly applied the Spanish name Mariposa (butterfly). for their brilliantly-colored flowers with eye-like spots on each petal and sepal, and other delicate markings with dots, lines and hairs are strongly suggestive of the wings of a brilliantiy-colored butterfly.

The culture of these bulbs is the easiest matter

possible. They only need loose loamy soil and perfect drainage. Plant 1 to 2 inches deep, and . will thrive 2 inches apart. When the bulbs are planted it will be found that if covered with a light sprinkling of sharp sand much weeding will be saved. It is better to plant where they will be shaded a part of the day.

VENUSTUS EL DORADO—This lovely strain of calochorti is of tall growth, one to three feet in height. The colors are unsurpassed. In the same locality it varies from white, through lilac, deep purple, to rich red, pink and salmon. All are marked with a showy eye, colored brown and yellow, and beautifully dotted and lined.

TUBEROSES

A beautiful, white, wax-like, very sweet-scented double flower, growing on long stems, 2 to 2% pieet in height, each stem having many flowers. This is one of the most highly prized of florists’ flow- / ers. By planting as soon as the soil is warm, and at intervals thereafter, a succession of blooms may be had throughout the season. They may be as_ successfully grown in pots as in the garden. The real worth of this flower is be- coming on this Coast, better known from year to year, and the demand for it is largely on the in- crease. The original bulb will not flower the second time, but the small bulbs or offsets may be saved in a dry warm place and =- planted again for future flowering. - It will take two or three years’ cul- - ture to produce flowevying bulbs.

These are universal favorites, and may be truly ranked among the most desirable annuals that enrich the flower garden. In addition to their beauty and ornamental appearance, they possess a rich and delightful fragrance, and are very val- uable as cut flowers for bouquets, vases, etc.

Culture.—Sweet Peas need as near as possi- ble a free clay loam, moderately rich and freely cultivated. Plant the seeds not less than two inches deep, and, as the plants become estab- lished, bank the soil against them, repeating this two or three times throughout the season. Don’t gather the blooms grudgingly. The more you cut the longer the vine will continue to flower. Re- member, when they go to seed, Sweet Peas will cease flowering.
