“Grandmother’s Garden” 
What fragrant memories of childhood cluster around ‘‘Grandmother’s Garden,’’ and 
to many of us the phrase conjures up visions of the dear old soul pottering around amid a 
wealth and riot of the flowers she loved so well. Grandmother may not be here now, but 
the flowers in her garden continue to bloom and shed their beauty in a way that would have 
filled her heart with joy, for her oldtime favorites have been so greatly improved that they 
far excel in point of color, size and quality the plants and flowers of long ago. 
Do You Want Such a Garden? 
We can help you to attain it, for we have a big stock of almost anything in the way 
of perennials, but are making a specialty of only a few: Kelway’s Famous Delphiniums, 
Hardy Phlox, and Oriental Poppies, besides a few vines, such as Wistaria and Clematis. 
The climate of our part of Tennessee is peculiarly adapted to growing things—plants 
of all kinds grow longer, stronger and better, and when they are transplanted they carry 
those good qualities with them. 
We Are Specialists 
We live in the age of specialists. Every branch of industry is dominated by the spec- 
ialist raising the finest, strongest and most superior stock of perennials is our chosen 
field, and our stock is in such shape that we can ship it safely to any point in the country. 
You Should Have Our Booklet 
We have issued the finest, handsomest booklet that ever came from the press—we went 
to a specialist for it—and we want to send it to you if you will let us have your address. It 
will appeal to you. If you kave been laboring every year with annuals to make a garden, 
only to see it blasted by the first touch of frost, you surely will be a convert to perennials; 
and if you will let us send you some or the plants described in the book you will soon have 
a garden such as grandmother in her wildest dream could never have imagined. Just a 
postal card request will bring the booklet.
