AND OTHERS FOR WILD GARDEN EFFECTS 



For planting in woodlands, meadows and along streams, these fall- 

 planted bulbs are coming into favor more rapidly every year as their merit 

 becomes better known. These bulbs, when planted in clumps in a 

 sheltered, sunny spot, will produce a mass of color in the early spring, 

 when the rest of nature is asleep. When once planted, they remain for 

 years, the clumps increasing in size and vigor. 



As the Price of these Bulbs is Low, everyone should plant a few. 



Below we give some suggestions for planting.

FARR'S PHLOXES 



ARE THE FLOWERS FOR THE BEGINNER 







L( ROM early July to late August the Phloxes will make your garden 

 ■*- a spot of wondrous beauty — for. next to the glorious "Peonies and 

 the orchid-like Irises. I think the Phloxes are the most lovable of 

 all our hardy plants, and when planted in masses, or among the shrubs, 

 are among the best of the hardy garden flowers. 



The plants are easily cared for. will grow from two to four feet tall, 

 and produce many heads of beautiful flowers. Best of all, the plants 

 are strong growers, and do not need staking. 



My Book "FARR'S HARDY PLANTS " 



gives a list of all the varieties of Phloxes at Wyomissing, as well as 

 Peonies, Delphiniums. Poppies and Irises. I will send you a copy if 

 you are interested in these hardy plants, or in Roses and Shrubs. 



I want you to have some of the Phloxes grown at Wyomissing 

 Nurseries. For many years I have made Phloxes a specialty and my 

 collection embraces many new sorts imported from Europe.
