Delights of an Old-Time Garden — 



Make Them Yours by Planting These "Quality" Seeds NOW 



There's a world of pleasure in a well-chosen perennial garden — 

 one that really fulfills its purpose. 



Not a haphazard bunching up of plants, but a carefully-planned 

 grouping of sorts that go well together; not a lot of flowers bloom- 

 ing all at once, and then gone for the season, but an array of 

 beds from which flowers may be cut practically every day all 

 summer. 



And the beauty of it is that, with proper care, the plants areyours, 



not for one season only, but year after year without replanting. 



The following collections of Boddington's "Quality" Seeds 

 make such a garden an easy possibility for you at very little cost. 

 Order and plant them now, and the flowers will bloom freely for 

 you next year. 



Complete directions, with a copy of our beautifully illustrated 

 Summer Garden Guide described below, will be sent you with 

 the seeds.
