A Hardy Flower Garden 

 What It Means To Me 

 AND May Mean To You 



TO ME- 



«fflt means Inspiration, Health, Life — a complete 

 surrender to a "great fondness" for Growing 

 Things, where I have "found myself" in the joy 

 of an occupation that yields returns not to be 

 measured by a standard of dollars. 

 iFirst, there was a Boy's Garden on a prairie 

 farm out in Iowa; then the great city, with "a 

 nameless longing," till one day my doctor said: 

 "Go back to the country and dig." 

 SfFinally, a man's garden that long since over- 

 flowed out into the open fields — a glorious riot 

 of color; a floral intoxication of delight. 



TO YOU- 



^It may mean Home,Rest, Recreation — a retreat 

 where you forget the cares of the business woilu; 

 a place of old associations and tender memories. 

 ^Perhaps an old time Garden whose treasures 

 planted by other hands still live, uniting the 

 living Present with the dead Past. 

 f Perhaps but a tiny spot of brightness sur- 

 rounded by a desert of brick and mortar — the 

 garden but a dream; a new creation to be yours 

 in the making, when the House You Live In will 

 give place to the House and Garden which to- 

 gether make the complete home beautiful. 



"Farr's Hardy Plants"-A Book Pf 

 That May Be An Inspiration To You 



FARR'S J*r5J^ 



As it has been to others. One writes: 

 'Your catalogue is a joy — I have read it through. You have put into it what most 

 of the others so studiously leave out — a love for the flowers they offer. What impresses me 

 most is the undertone of sincerity throughout." 

 If you receive the book, you also may wish to write and tell me about YOUR garden. If I 

 can help you I will be glad, for among my most prized treasures are many such letters whose ten- 

 der sentiments, so beautifully expressed, have helped me and made me feel that I have found a place 

 in the esteem of those whom it would be a delight to meet. 



Besides the wonderful collections of Irises and Peonies that have made Wyomissing famous, it tells of 

 all the many things in endless variety that go to make up the charm of the Hardy Garden, in a book "that's 

 different" because it is more than a catalogue. Mailed free on request.
