 novelties, but just good sensible productions 

 that are unusual in their very goodness. Choice 

 things you will find in our catalog, that will re- 

 ceive a most hearty welcome to every garden. 



Every new thing in this year's catalog, just as 

 in previous years, has stood the Sutton test. 



That means, they are choice, dependable, worth 

 while things, every one of them.

 send your order earlier than usual.
