Hardy Garden Flowers 

 from Biltmore Nursery 

 Will Thrive in YOUR 

 "Permanent Garden" 



The hardy plants of Biltmore Nursery will help you realize that 

 desire of yours for a perfect flower garden, next year and every , 

 year, if set out this fall. 



Here on the high plateaus of the Southern Alleghanies is the nat- 

 ural home of hardy flowering plants. The vigor of soil and the extremes 

 of temperature of this section combine to give the plants the utmost 

 hardiness. 



We take advantage of these perfect growing conditions with propa- 

 gators who have a thorough knowledge of hardy garden flowers and 

 their requirements, working with exceptionally good equipment. 



Our plants are so grown and shipped that they can be transplanted 

 without injury, therefore, thriving and coming into bloom quickly in gar- 

 dens everywhere— even those hundreds or thousands of miles away. 



Fall Planting of Hardy Flowers — and WHY 



The custom of planting the hardy things in the fall, instead of waiting unO^pnag! is an 

 excellent one, and an increasing number of flowers-enthusiasts are learning its benefits. 



In the fall, while the soil is still warm with summer's sunshine, and rich with decayinj; 

 vegetable matter of growing months, hardy garden plants gi-t a good start toward tlit- 

 next year. At that season, too, you generally have more time and a better opportunity to do 

 the work right ; another advantage is that the soil usually works better in the fall than in tht 

 early spring. We encourage fall planting whenever it is possible.
