OLD-FASHIONED 



GARDENS 



ENGLAND 



KELWAY'S famous Hardy 

 Herbaceous Plants are modern 

 developments of the old English 

 favourites. The cottage "Piny 

 Rose " has become the Pasony, 

 incomparable in form, colour and fra- 

 grance. The old-fashioned Larkspur 

 has developed into the stately blooms of 

 the Delphiniums ; Gaillar- 

 dias, Pyrethrums and the 

 rest, all serve to bring back 

 the charm of the old-world 

 English garden. Special 

 care is taken in packing 

 plants to arrive in America 

 in good order, and they can 

 be relied upon to thrive with 

 a minimum of attention.
