Just as if there 
could be sucha thing as an ‘‘old-fash- 
icned flower’! But ideas in flowers change, 
as they do in other things, and for some time there has 
been a renaissance of the flowers that helped to make our 
Grandmothers’ Gardens, of fragrant memory, such dreams of joy 
and beauty. Flower-lovers, and they are growing more numerous every 
year, are today planting flowers suchas they would never have thought of doing 
a few years ago—such flowers as Poppies, Larkspurs, Hardy Phlox and others that 
grew with sucha riot of color in the gardens of by-gone days. 
SEND FOR OUR HANDSOME BOOKLET 
We make a specialty of growing just such flowers, and have issued a booklet about them which 
is a gem of the photographer’s and printer’s arts. We’ll send it to youif you will send us your 
name ona postal—it’s a beauty, and we feel that it will persuade you to send us an order for the 
plants it tells about—that’s why we want you to have it. 
Ose Re GROW UNG] THIN GS, OO 
We don’t confine ourselves exclusively to afew flowers, but raise all sorts of SE abbes trees and 
evergreens. Don’t get the idea that because Knoxville is ‘‘down South”’ you can’t g_t things here that 
are hardy everywhere—that’s the great advantage we have. Our nurseries are at a high elcvation. and 
we have extremes of weather equal toanything further north. Anything that can withstand the 
weather here can withstand it anywhere. For instance, on one occasion last winter the thermom- 
eter fell to sixteen degrees below zero at our nurseries, and we didn’t losea plant. But we have ad- 
vantages others donot have: Our long summers give plants an extra-long growing season and lots , 
of time to develop and harden wood. Consequently shrubs and trees grown down hereare betier 
and stronger than those grown i» tiie north, and bear transplanting without loss of vigor. 
If you find our booklet, after you get it, does not cover the things you need, write us and 
we'll be glad to quote prices on anything growing.
