Horsford's 



Hardy 



Perennials 



For Cold Weather 



If you have not tried Horsford's Plants, better 

 get a few to set with others and watch results. .It 

 pays to have the best if you are looking for the 

 best flowers. Plants from cold Vermont will winter 

 almost anywhere that whiteonen can. If interested 

 in Hardy Bulbs for Autumn setting, Home Grown 

 Lilies, Shrubs, Trees or Vines, you can get them 

 from a Northern climate and feel sure they won't 

 kill back the first hard Winter. My Autumn Sup- 

 plement offers many inducements to those who 

 have room to plant liberally. You should ask 

 for it, also my Spring catalogue, before placing 

 Fall orders.
