For Your Garden In 1929

To Our Customer Friends: — This visit of the Templin-Bradley annual catalog to your home marks the fifty- third year that Mr. Templin has been sending similar messengers to custom¬

ers all over America.

Make it Better

I think that at no other time of the year is Mr. Templin happier than the day the catalog has been completed and the first copies received in our office from the printers. He has come into my office every year since I have been associated with him, with one of the first copies in his hand and said something like this, “Now, Floyd, don’t this catalog please you? I think people just can’t help liking it.” But the next year, when we start to make up the catalog, he always urges us to make it better and to put in more information which will be useful to those who receive it.

a-") Dortpc That spirit of Mr. Templin’s, to

iVlUTC 1 dgCa always strive to do better, is responsible for the growth of this business just as sure as sure can be. It is the spirit which moved us to add thirty-two pages to our catalog this year, so that we could tell you a great deal more about how to succeed with the seeds, bulbs and shrubs we offer for your garden. For example, we have room for more charts this year like the Annual Flower Seed Chart on pages 32 and 33, which have been so popular. There is one devoted to vines on page 35. These charts will help you to make your selection of varieties to be planted and to decide upon a location for each. Another Perennial Plant Chart on pages 106 and 107 covers the leading per¬ ennial items in our nursery department. If I were in your place, I would take a few minutes to get acquainted with these special features in this catalog. I believe if you would do so, you would want to keep this catalog among your valuable books for a long time to come.

A 2 Story Addition 5? 2K "tfSTS

build an addition so that we would have even better facilities for our nursery department, or, as some call it, our bulb and shrub department. Now that addition is a fact, for on January first, the contractors turned over to us a fine, new, two-story fireproof building. This is connected right up to the rest of the plant, so that you might say it is really all under one roof. Visitors engaged in this business have told us in the past that we had the finest working layout in America for the handling of this business and I feel confident that when they see the new addition, they will be even more enthusiastic.

Dari irk 1 wonder if you have ever \JVer me l\.aaiO been able to pick us up over the radio? Of course, not all of you can do this, because we have customers in every state in the Union and of course there are many interferences for those of you who live a long distance from Cleveland. This is the sixth season we have used the Radio to keep in closer touch with our customers. If you are a radio fan, tune in on the sister stations, WTAM and WEAR of Cleveland. Each Thursday evening at 9:30,

Eastern Standard Time, beginning January third and running into May, we take you into the living room of my home at 1553 Arthur Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio, and there the Templin- Bradley String Trio will give you a program of the most pleas¬ ing music we know how to offer. People have asked me why I give these programs from my home instead of the studio of WTAM. Well, just to be different. That is all. The idea is original with me, and so far as I know, no other program is handled in just this way in America. I think it gives me the sort of feeling one has when he entertains friends in his own home and I hope our listemers eaten the same feeling. At any rate, they offer the opportunity for you to get acquainted over the air — to hear my voice and to realize that The Templin- Bradley Co., is something more than just a catalog or a place to buy seeds and plants. Then, too, the Templin-Bradley Radio Garden Club has a series of daily sessions which I con¬ duct from my own office beginning about the middle of March and running for about two months.

If you ever have an opportunity to do so, we want you to come in and see for yourself, many more things than we can tell you here. Tourists stop in so frequently to pay us such a visit, that we believe you, too, would find such a trip through our buildings highly interesting.

These same letters justify the attention we pay to quality and the investment in buildings, machinery and equipment to enable us to fill orders promptly, seasonably and' accurately.

When you buy from us, you have a right to assume that you will receive good service, and you’ll get it. But few people know what is involved in bringing this about.

Quality

In most everything else you buy the quality of the object is quite evident upon careful examina¬ tion. But dormant seeds, bulbs, roots and plants do not yield their secrets of quality until they have been planted and growing for some time.

That is the reason that one of the most interesting phases of our job of maintaining quality for you is the time we spend in test¬ ing for germination, here in the building, the testing for type, color, size, productivity and general desirability at our trial grounds on the outskirts of the city and in visiting our produc¬ ers’ fields in this country and Europe.

None of this work is obvious to our thousands of customers. But it is absolutely necessary in order to protect the good name which Mr. Templin began to build up fifty-three years ago when he started in business for himself.

You Can Grow Flowers

And Grow Them Well, Without Greenhouse or Expert Skill

TVi Tmr of We take it for granted that you like

lncjuy Ulfiuwer^ flowers and want to grow them.

Who does not like to see the gay colors in their garden, nor have the oppor¬ tunity to pick bouquet after bouquet for the house from Spring until late Fall frosts draw a curtain over garden activities? No business man is too busy to enjoy a few minutes of relaxation, or a half-hour exercise among flowers.

People in every walk of life can find recreation there.

With Seeds of Finest Quality

T ft fU p Do p |r pf Did you ever think of just what is contained in each packet of A JVtl seed? Isn’t it really wonderful what is stored up in the little gray, or brown or black seed? The seeds are collected from all over the world, covering thou¬ sands of miles in their travels. In some sections of this country and in Europe there are families growing seeds following the trade of their great grandfathers, each generation improving the product to bring the beautiful flowers that we have today.

Flower seeds we obtain from those parts of the world where conditions and knowledge produce the best strains. But these seeds may be planted anywhere in our country from Maine to Texas with the assurance that fine flowers will be produced. There is a wide differ¬ ence between seed production and flower production from that seed.

There is an almost unbelievable amount of time and effort going into each packet of seed.

Where can you find a more profitable bargain? Where can you find anything that is so easily and cheaply purchased — and yet will give you so much in return?

Some to enjoy one year, some for permanent plantings

TnfPP (ifniltlQ Annuals, Biennials, Perennials. The annuals are vari- u eties that live their entire life in one year. You plant the seed

in Spring, they give bloom and die in the fall. The Biennials live two years, the Perennials three years or more. The Annuals are used mostly for cutting as they bloom so long — while the perennials make up the permanent plantings. One excellent arrangement is to have a per¬ manent planting of perennials as a background in front of which you plant annuals — changing the varieties each year. This gives you a different effect each season at the least outlay of time and money. In our catalog Biennials and Perennials are grouped apart from Annuals.

Perhaps the most w W IVillUO pleasure comes in growing annuals in mixed colors — and by the way our mixtures are well made up to include a wide range of colors. But do not overlook the separate colors where you find them listed. Blue flowers are very popular now — and we say the same for the flowers of Gold and Yellow shades. Then each season under the heading of Novelties and Specialties we include a few of the better recently introduced varieties. These are well worth while — well worth your planting, and it is only by planting the new kinds that you keep abreast of modem developments in the flower kingdom.

classes of flowers are explained in detail and cultural directions given for each. This book is fully described on page 84. Where it also tells you how to get it free.

Detailed Annual Flower Cultures

The following cultures for growing flowers refer to the second column of the flower chart on pages 32 and 33, and, used in connection with this chart, wilLbe very useful to you in obtaining the best results from your seed. •

The exact time of starting seeds is not important, but if you started about six weeks before it is usually safe to plant out¬ doors, the plants will be about the right size for setting out.

A Start the seed in the open garden right where the plants " are to stand. Wait until danger of frost is past and the soil is warm and worked fine. When the fruit trees are in blossom it is usually safe to start flower seed outdoors. If the seed is fine, barely cover to a depth of about four times the diameter of the seed. In either case firm the soil over the seed to bring up the moisture.

It is an excellent plan to lay a piece of burlap or other coarse cloth or newspapers, right over the seed bed to hold the moisture and prevent baking before the tiny plants appear above the surface.

When the little plants come up, pull out some and transplant if they stand too thickly. Keep the soil loose around the plants. The flowers of this class will bloom earlier if the seed is started in a window-box or hot-bed for transplanting outside when weather permits.

T> To get the benefit of the longest season of bloom the seed should be started early inside before weather permits outdoor planting. If you have a hot-bed, start the 'seed in that. If not, use a box of light soil in a sunny window of a warm room. Press the seed into the soil and keep it moist. Lay a newspaper over the box to prevent evaporation, but remove it as soon as the tiny plants appear. When they have two or three leaves, transplant them into other boxes or pots and then outdoors after the soil is warm and danger of frost is past.

P Sow the seeds directly outdoors where the plants are to ^ stand after the soil is warm and danger of frost is past. Make the soil fine and press seed firmly into it. In the case of fine seed, lay a cloth or newspaper over the soil to prevent evaporation, removing this as soon as the tiny plants appear. Stir the soil around them to prevent the surface hardening, and thin out if they need it. Be careful in doing this not to disturb the roots of the plants that remain, as they resent this treatment.

Make several later sowings for continued bloom throughout the summer and fall.

DThe seed of these flowers may be sown early directly outdoors — as early as the soil is in good workable condi¬ tion. It is better to sow them right where the plants are to stand, thinning them out if crowded, and keeping the soil loose around them.

To get earlier blooms, sow the seed in the fall. It will germ¬ inate and come up quickly in the spring, so that the plants are in bloom long before those from spring sown seed.

: This class of flowers will reseed themselves if the seeds are allowed to develop and mature on the plant.

Success With Flowers

Getting the best results from your flowers is not entirely a matter of soil condition nor of fertilizing, although of course these help greatly; but often the success of a plant depends in greater part in getting it properly started. In the following paragraphs Mr. Templin gives you the benefit of his years of ex¬ perience in growing, and surely there should be some of this information that will be helpful to you in giving your plants the proper start to enable them to produce for you more and better flowers.

Let Mr. Templin Tell You

About Growing Flowers from Seed

In order that our many patrons may be more successful with our seeds, I am devoting this page to genera) instructions and suggestions which I trust will be helpful. Many varieties of flower seed require conditions that are not available in the ordinary home that can be provided at a nominal cost.

The general rule is to cover the seed two or three times the diameter of the seed. Sow the seed evenly and cover by drawing the soil over the seed and pressing down with the

Starting Plants Early

There are a number of varieties of annuals that should be started early before weather conditions permit outside plant¬ ing, in order to get the benefit of the longest possible bloom¬ ing season. In this class we would include Antirrhinum or Snapdragon, Carnations, Celosia, China Pinks, Lobelia, Pansies, Petunias (especially the double and ruffled types), Salpiglossis, Stocks, Verbenas, etc. We would also include Houseplant Seed in the list given on page 9.

The accompanying illustration shows a very convenient method of starting seeds in the house. A shallow box or “flat,” as it is usually called. It may be made in various sizes to accommodate the number of varieties to be planted. The one illustrated is 18x24 inches, and 3 inches deep. By making the rows 2 inches apart, it will hold 11 varieties. Place the flat on a small stand in front of a sunny south window of the living room. Fill about three- fourths full of fine, mellow sandy soil that has been previously sifted, press down firmly, making the surface even and smooth.

Now mark out the rows two inches apart and about a quarter inch deep, using an ordinary foot ruler or a piece of plas-. tering lath. Press down and draw the ruler back and forth, endwise, two or three times, until the row is the required depth.

fingers. Very fine seed like Petunia, Lobelia, Begonia, etc., should be sown on the surface and pressed into the soil with the palm of the hand.

The atmosphere in the ordinary living room is usually very dry- By using a pane of glass, 18x24, to cover the flat, you will produce the ideal greenhouse moisture and temperature, just the condition in which the seed will germinate freely. Care should be taken, however, to remove the glass frequently after the plants are up, as they will require the fresh air to produce sturdy, healthy plants.

The above instructions are for those who are not so fortu¬ nate as to have a hot-bed or conservatory. Do not start the plants too early. The 1st to 10th of April is about right in the latitude of Cleveland. It will require about six weeks to grow the plants ready to plant outside about May 15th. When the plants are large enough to handle, trans¬ plant according to direc¬ tions given below. When the weather begins to warm up the last of April, set these flats on the ground outside, watering when necessary and cov¬ ering when danger of frost, and you will have sturdy, healthy plants, ready to plant in the garden.

House Plants from Seed

Growing house plants from seed is not diffi¬ cult, and is very interesting from the sowing of seed until the plants have come into bloom.

Use shallow pans or boxes filled with good garden soil mixed with much leaf mold and some sand. Cover the finer seed very lightly. Water very lightly and keep them only moist. It is

advantage to cover the pans or boxes with a pane of glass until the plants appear, being sure they have some ventilation. A little of the morning sun is beneficial but they should not be allowed to get too warm. Transplant the small plants into small pots and later into large pots. Do not force the plants when young for they must develop their root system first.

See page 9 for list of House Plants that can be easily grown from seed.

MILADY’S HOUSE PLANTS

A book that will help you succeed with your house plants. Complete cultures, etc. See Page 84.

Sowing Flower Seed in the Garden

There are two general classes of annual flowers and the time to sow the seed depends on the class. See Flower Seed Chart, pages 32 and 33. In Class Column, varieties marked H. A. are Hardy Annuals. These should be sown as early as the soil can be prepared. Varieties marked T. A. are tender annuals and should not be planted until the soil is permanently warm, when apple trees are in full bloom is a safe rule to follow.

For best success, sow the seed in cold frames in well prepared light sandy loam. The size of the frame depends on quantity of plants wanted. A frame 3x6 ft. will grow sufficient plants for the ordinary home. For early sowing cover with a 3x6 hotbed sash. For general sowing about May 1st, cover the frame with 2 yards of muslin, to protect from dashing rain and the raw drying winds. Select a warm sunny location, on south or east side of building. The general instructions above for the house, will apply for cold frames, except that rows should be 3 or 4 inches apart. One of the most success¬ ful growers the writer ever knew, always called the young plants his “babies,” an expression that fits the occasion. Watchful care is necessary for success.

Fall Sowing of Annuals

Some of the hardier annuals may be sown in the fall and when treated in this way will germi¬ nate early in the spring and come into bloom much earlier than when sown in the spring. A list of these varieties are given on page 9.

A light mulch over the seed bed in this case is very beneficial.

THE LITTLE BOOK OF ANNUALS by Prof. Hottes

f Gives complete cul¬ tural directions for nearly all annuals. See page 84.

Transplanting Seedlings into the Garden

After your seeds begin to germinate, other problems present themselves. They may be so thick that they will not have room to grow large enough to plant out into the garden, if they are • they should be transplanted into other flats or boxes. As soon as they show their third leaf, they should be set 2 to 3 inches apart each way, handling them very carefully for they are very tender at this age; keep the moisture condition even, and they will quickly grow to nice size to set into your garden. As soon as the weather permits and as soon as your garden soil is in proper condition to work nicely they can be taken to the graden for their final transplanting .

The soil in the flats should be moist enough to hold together nicely, but not soggy; cut the soil in the flats into squares, keeping as much earth on the plant as possible ; gently place the cube of earth, with the plant in the center, in the hole that you have prepared for it and fill in around it with good fine earth firming it gently with the thumbs but not packing enough to disturb the cube of moist earth on the roots of the plant. Keep them moist and they should keep right on grow¬ ing.

Difficult to Transplant

All varieties of Poppies, Eschscholtzia and Mig¬ nonette are exceedingly difficult to transplant, therefore, should be sown where they are to bloom. As a general rule all climbing vines should also be planted where they are to remain. With these varieties care should be used to sow the seed thin so that no more plants will have to be thinned out than necessary.

For years we have prided ourselves on the quality of the Aster Seed which our customers were able to get from us. This year we are increasing our list of varieties and putting still greater stress on our efforts for Quality. You can grow Asters that you will be proud of from our seeds. Early, midseason and late types are offered — types for borders and long stemmed varieties for cutting.

CULTURE — Aster seed should be sown in boxes and plants raised indoors for transplanting into the garden when the weather becomes thoroughly settled. General culture for raising plants is given fully on page 8. In raising Aster plants particular care should be taken when sowing the seed in boxes to cover very shallow, only enough to completely hide the seed An even temperature of about 60° should be maintained but do not use any bottom heat. Care should be exercised throughout the growing season not to allow the Aster plant to be checked in growth at any time for this is almost disastrous to their future production of blooms.

THE ASTER IS THE QUEEN OF CUT FLOWERS— TRY SOME OF THE NEW TYPES

Antirrhinum or Snapdragon-

Without doubt the Antirrhinums are among the most desirable flowers for general garden culture. With the glorious new varieties that have been recently introduced, there is little left to be desired in coloring and size of piant and flower spike. “Snaps” are not hard to grow. For earliest blooms start seed inside for later trans¬ planting, but you can have good results by planting seed directly outdoors when soil is warm. The seed is fine, so cover lightly and keep moist. You will have more and finer flowers if you pinch back the tops of the plants when they are 3 or 4 inches high.

Antirrhinum Maximum or Giant Type

This new type of Giant Flowering is a great advance over the old Snapdragons.

Plant as soon as the soil is warm. They are easily transplanted. Marigolds like full sunlight.

Growing the Finest Pansies

CULTURE — Pansies do best in a rich loamy soil, moist but not wet. Beds should be worked up loosely 8 inches deep and humus, or well-rotted manure worked in. Seed may be sown in the garden as early as the ground can be worked up fine or may be started inside in boxes for earlier plants.

After sowing cover very lightly with fine soil or sand and keep moist, this is important for pansy seed if allowed to dry out during the first 15 or 20 days will invariably die. Pansies may be sown in the same manner in July or August and carried through winter by mulching with straw or leaves.

The Finest Sweet Peas

Snowball

For distinctive beauty and exquisite fragrance the Sweet Pea has no rival. We sell more packets of Sweet Peas annually than any other flower. You can have Sweet Peas in your own garden just as fine as those of the florist. Pick the flowers fre¬ quently for abundant bloom. One ounce will plant a single row 25 feet long.

CULTURE OF SWEET PEAS — Success with Sweet Peas is not difficult but you must be very careful in their planting and culture. The ordinary method is to trench 4 to 5 inches deep, sow the seeds, and cover to within 1 or 2 inches of the surface gradually filling trench as plants grow. But for fine blooms and a long blooming season, you must prepare the soil deeper. To bloom during the hot weather Sweet Peas must have a deep root system started early in the spring. So prepare your trenches deep, removing the top soil and loosen up the subsoil working into it some well rotted manure, replace to top soil in the trench leaving it 4 or 5 inches deep.

Sow your seed in bottom of this trench, 12 to 15 seed to the foot for each row and for double row space from 1 to 3 inches between rows, then cover seed 2 or 3 inches and as vines grow gradually fill up to the level. Sweet Peas must be sown early in the spring to get the best results, just as early as you can possibly work your soil.

A Plant of Dwarf Double Zinnias

- Templin-Bradley’s Zinnias

There is no other plant that does so well under any and all conditions and furnishes so many gorgeous flowers in such an array of brilliant colors. You can pick literally bushels of them from a small bed and still have as many left in the garden. A good old-fashioned flower greatly improved with long stems and unusually good keeping qualities. Neither dry weather nor insects harm them after once established.

CULTURE — Zinnias can be planted in the garden where they are to grow but for early bloom they should be started inside in boxes earlier than they could be put outdoors. One or two transplantings is beneficia 1 to them for it induces more root growth and produces a stronger plant. Zinnias will do well in nearly any soil but too rich a soil will cause more plant growth and fewer blooms. If you wish especially large blooms from your Dahlia flowered Zinnias or others snip off all but two or three of the side branches and buds and those left will attain a much larger size.

Giant Dahlia Zinnias

The Dahlia Flowered Zinnias are immense in size, often 4 to 5 inches and more in diameter. They are borne on tall strong plants with long stems, the flowers resembling Decorative Dahlias.

The separate colors of this type are not quite 100% true, there being a little variation in shade — which is not at all a drawback.

We believe our strain is the finest on the market. It is from the introducer who is bending every effort to improve the quality rather than to shade the price a little.

2181 Crimson Monarch. The best rich red.

How and W^hy to Grow Vines

Generally speaking the climbing vines are very easy of culture giving excellent results if given the proper start. Most of them doing best if planted right where they are to grow, but some of them needing an earlier start if we are to get the greatest benefit from them.

The following cultural references as indicated by the index number in the second column of the above chart, will guide you in the best methods of starting each variety.

Class 1 : are those that do not transplant readily or usually suffer a check in growth when trans¬ planted from which it takes considerable time to recover. These are best planted right where they are to remain and grow. With the exception of Allegheny Vine they should not be planted until weather is warm and settled and the ground becomes dry enough to work nicely without packing.

Class 2 : can be treated the same as class 1 but do gain a great advantage by being started earlier indoors and obtaining some growth before it is warm enough to put them outdoors. It is best to grow them in small pots, one plant to the pot, so they may be transplanted without disturbing the root system; if they begin to throw runners, place a small stake in the pot and tie them up to it. Do not plant outside until weather is warm and settled.

Class 3 : should be started early indoors the same as the previous class, but should be transplanted into larger pots (about 4 inch) and be well established before planting out in the garden. They may of course be planted directly in the garden but in most cases will be more backward all summer than if well started.

Do not forget that all the hard-shelled seeds will start easier and quicker if soaked in luke¬ warm water for a few hours before planting. Nick the shell with a knife or file. All vines are heavy feeders and will greatly repay you for giving them a rich soil in which to grow.
