Farr's Superb Lilacs 



For Fall Planting 



Lilac-time is springtime at its best. One can scarcely con- 

 ceive of a spring garden without Lilacs; every bush a mass of 

 glorious colors, and filling the air with delicate fragrance. 



Seemingly perfect, as were the old purple' and white sorts, 

 the master hybridizer, Victor Lemoine, touched them with his 

 magic hand, and lo, from them a multitude of glorified forms 

 and new colors appeared, with individual flowers and trusses 

 more than doubled in size; with varieties early and varieties 

 late, thus considerably lengthening the blooming season. 



Ellen Willmott, with long pointed trusses and large snow-white flowers; 

 Belle de Nancy, soft lilac pink; the splendid early flowered giant, Leon 

 Gambetta. These are but a few examples of the more than 100 new varieties 

 that I grow on their own roots at Wyomissing. All these new Lilacs are 

 unusually free bloomers — far surpassing the old sorts. If you wish these rich 

 blooms in your garden next spring, the plants must be set this fall. 



Farr's Hardy Plant Specialties 



(Sixth Edition, 1918) describes Lemoine's new Lilacs, Deutzias, Philadel- 

 phus, Japanese and German Iris, more than 500 varieties of Peonies, Ever- 

 greens, and Rock-plants. 112 pages of text, 30 full page illustrations, 13 in 

 color. A book of distinct value to garden lovers. If you do not have a copy 

 of this Sixth Edition, send for one to-day.

HOUSES 



THE building of even a small house usually brings with 

 it a long string of redtape, contractor's conferences, 

 noise, dirt, and finally when the building is finished you 

 may find that your expectations have not been fully realized. 



Why not know before you drive a nail just what the fin- 

 ished result will be? You can. 



Buy your house the Hodgson way. First send for a cata- 

 logue containing photographs of garages, bungalows, play- 

 houses and many other small houses in various styles and 

 sizes, described and outlined to the smallest detail — even 

 prices are itemized. 



After you have made your selection, send your order and 

 the house will be shipped in neat, compact sections, painted, 

 and ready to be assembled — this can be done by a couple of 

 unskilled workmen in a comparatively short time. 



By sending 25% of the cost with your order we will pack 

 your house ready for shipment and hold it for you until you 

 need it. Thus effecting a saving of time and money— the first 

 step is to send for the catalogue.
