T^HERE are few things that bring pleasant 

 * memories of our childhood so vividly to 

 our minds, as to inhale again the fragrance 

 of those flowers that in our memory, are 

 associated with those days. 



Perhaps it was the favorite flower of some relative 

 or dear friend — or maybe the boy "Over There" had a 

 garden favorite. Perhaps some scene of happier days 

 took place in a garden — and the fragrance or picture 

 of some certain flower lingers in our mind. It is the 

 key to our storehouse of recollections. 



What would be a more suitable planting in these 

 days than such a group of friendly associates ? 



We will be glad to talk your language 

 in carrying out your garden plans. We 

 love flowers, too. 



Whatever is worth growing in hardy plants, grows 

 in our nurseries. We believcours to be as complete 

 and as large a stock of hardy plants as can be found 

 in this country. Whether you want a few specimen 

 plants of a rare species, or thousands of one and the 

 same kind for planting in masses, we can serve you. 

 During the growing seasons, our nurseries are always 

 open to visitors who are welcome to make personal 

 selections.
