IT often happens 

 that you want ^ 

 something ex- 

 tra choice in Asters, Pan- 

 sies, Petunias, Sweet Peas or other 

 Flower Seeds or a special variety of veg- 

 etable. You may be looking for a fine Rose which 

 you noted last summer or some out-of-the-ordi- 

 nary, old-fashioned perennial or garden plant which 

 is not known or kept in stock by the average 

 dealer. If your inquiry as to where you will most 

 likely find what you are looking for be made to a thor- 

 oughly posted professional or amateur, the answer nine 

 times out of ten will be:

"Fair's Hardy Plants" 

 A Book That You Want 



An old hardy garden is a place sacred with tender memories. There 

 is a personality and a sense of companionship about the plants which 

 bloom there that makes us become attached to them. They are a part 

 of the old associations and the home life, like members of the family — 

 perhaps they remind us of absent ones who planted them long ago, as 

 year by year we tenderly protect them for their winter sleep, and im- 

 patiently await their awakenino each spring. 



Perhaps yours is not an old garden but a new one, the planning of 

 which has been all your own, and its accomplishment a realization of your 

 own fancies. But whether new or old, it is a place of recreation and 

 forgetfulness of business cares, a safety-valve from overwork and a place 

 where the man who is city-tired may find rest and new life. 



Let Me Help Make Your Hardy Garden 



If you love the hardy garden flowers as I do, you will want my new book, which tells 

 how my hobby grew into a business and how I came to have the largest American col- 

 lections of Peonies, Irises, Anemones, phiox, and other truly desirable perennial plants. 



The book may be an inspiration to you, as it has been to others. When you read it, 

 you may want to write and tell me about your garden and share with me your joy in 

 hardy plants. The message of the stately Iris, " the rainbow flower," the charm of the 

 glorious Peony, and the lure of the gorgeous Poppy are expressed in the book, which too, 

 contains full page color plates of fine flowers in each class. 



Shall I send you a copy ? Free if you write.

'THIS is an illustration— one of 123— from the Biltmore Nursery book, "Flower- 

 ing Trees and Shrubs." It makes plain one of the purposes of the book— to 

 show, not to tell, appropriate uses of trees and shrubs in beautifying the home grounds. 

 The book will help you in your plan to enjoy the continuous charm that attract- 

 ive landscapes hold. Its 64 pages of descriptive matter state the uses, charac- 

 teristics and cultural preferences of the desirable ornamental plants, while the en- 

 gravings depict the beauties of individual flowers, of specimen plants, and of harmon- 

 ious groupings in which these plants are used.
