"sa- 



lt's garden seed wis- 

 dom" to make your plans 

 early — and my new 1910 

 catalogue will set you 

 dreaming of the joys to 

 come in the plot of ground 

 just outside your window. 



You get good things from your 

 garden that money can't buy — health 

 and vigor, and better things to eat than 

 you can get in the market. But your 

 success depends largely upon the varieties 

 you select. 



Stokes' Seed Catalogue is one of the hand- 

 somest, most helpful and most complete cata- 

 logues ever published. It tells how to get the 

 most and best out of your garden; how to make 

 sure of getting the choicest varieties of vege- 

 tables and flowers; and it shows by actual photo- 

 graphs what the seed has produced — what you 

 can raise yourself.

 Magazine, and I will send you my catalogue free

Qillett's Ferns and Flowers 



For Dark, Shady Places 



There is no corner so shady but that certain ferns and plants will thrive 

 there. There is no soil so light and sandy but that some of our hardy wild 

 ferns will beautify it. For 25 years we have been growlngthese hardyferns 

 and flowers and know what is suited to each condition. We can supply 

 ferns for l he dark; corner by the porch, orferns and flowers, including onr 

 native orchids, in quantity, to make beautiful country estates. Wet and 

 swampy spots, rocky hillsides, dry woods, each may be made beautiful by 

 plants especially adapted to them. Nothing adds greater charm to the 

 home grounds than clumps of thrifty ferns. We also grow the hardy 

 flowers which require open sunlight — primroses, campanulas, digitalis, 

 violets, etc. 



Write for my descriptive catalogue. It tells about this class of plants.
