Satisfaction Plants 



FOR YOUR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR GARDENS 



UP HERE at this quaint old 

 colonial village of Crom- 

 well our 400 employees are 

 growing thousands of the choicer 

 dependable kinds of Roses, Car- 

 nations and Chrysanthemums in 

 pots, for planting both in your 

 greenhouse garden and your out- 

 door one. 



The winning novelties of the 

 season, such as the Killamey 

 Brilliant rose; the new Carna- 

 tions and the new Chrysanthe- 

 mum "Indian Summer" are a few 

 of the Cromwell Garden leaders 

 which we think you ought to have- 

 One of the comfortable phases 

 about buying the season's new 

 things from us, is that every one 

 of them is being extensively 

 grown for market, right in our 

 18 acres of greenhouses: which is 

 conclusive evidence of our confi- 

 dence in them. 



We do the experimenting for 

 you, and that's why you can de- 

 pend on Satisfaction Plants from 

 Cromwell Gardens. 



When it comes to your outside 

 gardens and grounds, we have 

 some wondrously beautiful new 

 Cannas you ought to know about. 



Killarney Brilliant is quite the most beautiful or the 

 Killarney family. It possesses all the virtues and 

 none of the faults of its blood relation. It created a 

 sensation at the National Flower Show last March 

 By all means add Killarney Brilliant to your list. 



Roses — fine strong dependable 

 plants in safe and sane varieties 

 that will prove permanent acqui- 

 sitions. 



As for Perennials; we have 

 thousands and thousands of 

 full rooted sturdy plants that 

 were grown last summer right 

 out in the fertile soil of Crom- 

 well Gardens, and this fall trans- 

 planted to pots and put in cold 

 frames all ready for early ship- 

 ment this Spring. They are 

 good and hardy — you need have 

 no doubt about that. 



You will be interested in our 

 full-page advertisement in Coun- 

 try Life for December, in which 

 we print the telling of a Pilgrim- 

 age to Cromwell Gardens, as told 

 by a gardening enthusiast. If 

 you don't see Country Life, let 

 us know and we will gladly 

 send you a reprint of the Pil- 

 grimage. 



And now a word about our new 

 catalog. It will be ready in 

 January. 



You will want a copy. So send 

 us your name now, and we will 

 mail you one of the first that 

 comes from the press.
