SOBER PARAGON 



Mammoth, Sweet Chestnut 



Crop, Fall of 1910, brought $48,000, orchard 

 only 8 years old. 

 The only large siveef chestnut in the world. 

 Bears the second year. The nuts average 1 to 

 2 inches in diameter — and 3 to 5 nuts in a burr. 



United States Pomologist, G. B. Brackett, says 

 "The Sober Paragon comes the nearest in quality 

 to the native chestnut of any of the cultivated 

 varieties that I have examined. It is of large 

 size, fine appearance and excellent flavor."

Make a Permanent Garden 

 With Peters Perennials 



There's lots of character blossoming forth in every garden, but in all of the gardens of 

 flowers ever planted, none retain so much of the individuality and spirit of the planter, 

 even though it was made a generation ago. as the garden of perennial flowers. They'll 

 furnish bloom from earliest spring's Arabis and Columbine until after frosts in the fall, 

 with the flame-colored Tritomas and multi-colored Chrysanthemums in full bloom. 



Perennials Need Little Care 



Each year sees an increase in the number of persons awakened to the great beauties of 

 the hardy Poppy, Phlox. Peony, Iris. Delphinium. Foxglove and Clove Pink. Very little 

 care is needed, except to divide the clumps every two or three years, so plant a border of 

 them this spring — they're all sure to bloom this year, the year after, and forever. 



Get Peter's Book of Perennials 



A beautiful seventy page book that describes and pictures some of the choicest hardy 

 plants and shrubs. It will show you how to get some of the "spirit'' of brightness and 

 happiness and health wrapped up in the planting of really choice, vigorous, fibrous-rooted 

 and mountain-grown stock, able to withstand seventeen degrees below zero. In planning 

 your garden, write us today for the book — it's sent free — but ask us NOW.
