Flowers carry your message of love, sym- 

 pathy and friendship. How much more 

 pleasure there is in sending those you have 

 grown in your own garden. There is plea- 

 sure and relaxation in watching them grow 

 and unfold their bloom. Roses add to the 

 joy of living. 



Here at Cromwell we have thousands of 

 plants that are waiting to make you a gar- 

 den of glory. 



We have evergreens, shrubs and trees — all 

 described in Cromwell Gardens Handbook, a 

 copy of which will be sent you for the asking.

HODGSON 



Portable HOUSES 



When Spring comes you don't want to 

 bother with building. Even the erection of a 

 play house or screen house will make enough 

 dirt, dust and din to take away the joy of 

 Springtime. 



Hodgson Portable Houses have made it pos- 

 sible for you to get just the house you want with- 

 out the usual disagreeable worries of building. 



Hodgson Houses are built at the Hodgson 

 factory. They are made of neatly finished, 

 fitted and painted sections which can be easily 

 put together and taken apart. 



You select the bungalow, cottage, garage, 

 play house or poultry house you want from the 

 Hodgson catalog. Then by paying 25 % of the 

 cost of your house we prepare and hold it until 

 wanted. We then ship it in sections and it is 

 just a day's work for unskilled workmen to 

 put it together. Send for a catalog today.

A Garden of Gladioli 

 is a Garden of delight 



\\ , r ITH summer days comehand- 

 V V some flowers of the Gladioli 

 to remain with us all summer long. 

 Every day the flowers unfold a new 

 color combination until you won- 

 der when Nature will exhaust her 

 ingenuity. Many times have I 

 thought, "surely there can be no 

 more colors; there can be nothing 

 new," and then I go forth into my 

 fields to find a flower unlike any 

 that I have ever seen. 



If you plant my mixtures you 



will always be kept on the qui vive. 

 There is fascination in anticipating 

 the colors and great is the joy when 

 you discover a combination new 

 to you. I began growing Gladioli 

 because I loved them. My success 

 led to growing them for other flower- 

 lovers, until to-day I am one of the 

 world's Gladiolus specialists. My 

 booklet "The Glory of the Gar- 

 den," tells of my experience. You 

 will enjoy reading it; may I send 

 you a copy, free?

"Ye Olde Tyme" Garden 

 Wears a Modern Dress 



A modern garden may have the charm and fragrance 

 of "Ye olden tyme" if perennials predominate. My col- 

 lection of hardy plants at The Terraces is among the most 

 complete in America. It embraces Hollyhocks in many 

 colors; Sweet Williams, including a splendid soft pink 

 variety; Stocks, the "Gilly-flowers" of old; Michaelmas 

 Daisies, Columbines, Phlox, Irises that will bloom the first 

 year, rock plants, bog plants, and plants for shady places. 



These Coast -Grown Plants 

 Produce Immediate Results 



adding character to your garden and supplementing the 

 shrubbery plantings. February is one of the best months 

 for planting in the West; my plants are dormant and ready 

 to ship at once. For Eastern customers I can hold back 

 the plants for later delivery. My Catalogue E tells where 

 to use and how to grow these delightful plants. 



Californian Native Bulbs, Plants and Seeds are a spe- 

 cialty with me. It is now too late for bulbs, but many 

 Shrubs and Plants can be set until March. Catalogue A 

 tells about these natives of the Coast. 



Catalogue E or A for both) will be sent to anyone in- 

 terested. Send your name and address.
