Flowers can be made to express every thought 

 or feeling. But how much more joy for the sender 

 when the flowers come from his own garden. 

 There is real joy and relaxation in making a 

 flower garden, in watching the handsome blooms 

 unfold their glorious colors, and in sending them to 

 someone dear to you. 



Here at Cromwell we have thousands of plants 

 that are waiting for an opportunity to grow in 

 your garden. The treasures of Rose-land; new 

 and old varieties of hardy perennials; many acres 

 of trees, shrubs and evergreens — all described and 

 pictured in Cromwell Gardens Handbook, the 

 19 1 8 flower book of this 46-year-old concern.

 you quicker results

 save two to six years 

 of waiting!
