The most beautiful that grow in all countries.

 them. Mailed for 2-cent stamp.

 you heard of the Stoke-Pogis " Instantaneous " 

 Hedge? Catalogue tells all about it. Free. Send

JOHN G. GARDNER. 



Q. C. WATSON. 



YOU can have my list of "Bulbs for Spring 

 Planting" for the asking ; also condensed 

 list of "Seeds for the Garden and Farm." I 

 sell a first-class Lawn Grass at S3. 10 per bushel 

 of 14 lbs. Is it good ? Try it. Never mind what 

 my competitors say. It has stood the test of 

 time — the only true test. These be hard times. 

 In the generaf Readjustment of Values I mean to 

 be in the thick of the scrimmage. 



G. C. WATSON 1 , Seedsman. 

 Juniper and Walnut Sts., Phila. 

 March, 1897.
