Three Links That Connect 

 Biltmore Nursery and You 



First. The Biltmore Nursery Books — which help you to plan your 

 planting and to select the plants. Second, the manner in which the 

 plants are snipped from Biltmore Nursery to you, by mail, express or 

 Ireight. Third, the select strains of Biltmore Nursery plants which 

 result in beauty and utility in after years. 



Biltmore Nursery can fill your orders promptly — because of a good 

 business organization. Biltmore Nursery trees and plants will grow 

 anywhere in the United States — because they are propagated high up 

 in the North Carolina mountains where the extremes of climate give 

 great hardiness. Biltmore Nursery products will start off into vigor- 

 ous growth as soon as transplanted — because they have been bred, 

 and fed and trained to make them do just that.

 With Peters Perennials

Ami 



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.
