FARR'S 



Dahlias and 

 Chrysanthemums 



DAHLIAS may well be given the place of 

 honor in . the autumn garden, and I am 

 sure that the readers of Garden Magazine 

 will wish to try some of the splendid varieties 

 that have been grown at Wyomissing Nurseries. 



In making my collection I have tested more 

 than twelve hundred sorts, from these I have 

 selected what I consider the very best of the 

 older varieties, the choicest of the newer intro- 

 ductions, and the most promising of the novelties. 



Dahlias may be planted at any time from the 

 middle of May to the first of July. If set too 

 early, the blooms are not produced freely. 



FARR'S 



Hardy Chrysanthemums 



When other flowers have succumbed to 

 November frosts the hardy chrysanthemums 

 hold forth, with blooms of rich yellow, crimson, 

 old-rose, white, and maroon, unaffected by the 

 approach of winter. 



My collection at Wyomissing contains only | 



such varieties as bloom outdoors in normal j§ 



season, as the very late sorts are not altogether J 

 satisfactory. These plants may be set in the 



garden any time before the first of July, and § 

 should bloom next fall. 



Farr's Hardy Plant Specialties j 



gives complete information about Dahlias and J 



Chrysanthemums, with a list of varieties in the | 

 different classes. If you do not have a copy of 



the Sixth Edition, write me, and it will be sent 1 



promptly. ■ 



I have also prepared a special list of Flowering ■ 



Shrubs of distinct worth, new Yellow Tree jj 



Peonies, Perennials and summer bulbs which ■ 

 will be sent to all who desire it.

 top-notch results. 



A few hours a week of the Skinner System rain will do 



it. Do it as easy as turning on the water in your bath tub. 



Charles Seabrook, President of the huge Seabrook 



Truck Farms, says, "One acre under the Skinner System 



is equal to five without it." Claims that it fruits his straw- 



berries a week earlier and continues them two weeks later.
