Ferns and Flowers for Dark, Shady Places 
Plant early spring flowers now. If you wish a bed of large white Trilliums, 
plant them in early autumn so they will get established before winter. 
GILLETT’S 
Bloodroot, hepaticas, native lilies, dogtooth violets, native orchids, etc., can be 
planted in September with the very best results. 
Native ferns, which I grow in fifty varieties, give pleasing results when planted 
in September. I have special fern collections for that dry, shady corner where grass 
will not grow. 
If you wish to develop a natural garden let me assist you. Growing native 
plants and ferns has been my specialty for 35 years. 
Send for my catalog of 80 pages, which is illustrated. IT’S FREE.

Concerning David Grayson 
N SARASOTA, Florida, a group of lovers of David Grayson have organ- 
ized a club, the GRAYSONIANS, to enjoy the open air and the friendly 
road in the spirit of David Grayson’s books. This is their creed: 
“To be a Graysonian is to be fond of the open air, to love 
the stretching road, the sun on the shoulder blades, the golden 
riot of the autumn leaves —to slip away oncein a while from 
everything and go a-wayfaring with joy for a comrade.” 
This Winter they are spending evenings around an open fire, reading 
Hempfield aloud — Hempfield, the new Grayson novel published by Double- 
day, Page & Company. Not a bad plan? ANDREW MCGILL.
