A Beautiful Permanent Garden at Low Cost 



ood for plai 



You can enjoy a beautiful lasting garden of flowers from spring to frost — a garden that will grow lovelier 

 year after year, and at a surprisingly low expense, with Stark-Ozark mountain-grown plants. 



Don't imagine you have to plant rare and high-priced varieties to enjoy the utmost beauty and fra- 

 grance that you so desire. Many costly flowers are not half so beautiful as those pictured here, nor are they 

 as free from danger from frost and cold. Plant for beauty and loveliness — not rareness — and you will 

 get the greatest joy and pleasure out of your garden. 



Save the Work of Replanting Each Spring 



Our Stark-Ozark flowers and shrubs are grown in the bracing 

 mountain air and rich soil of the Ozarks. They are vigorous, hardy 

 perennials, thrive everywhere, and need little care or attention. 



You are saved the trouble of transplanting and renewing every 

 spring — you don't fuss with tender plants that require constant 

 coddling, and that wilt with the 

 first frost. 



These hardy Stark-Ozark plants 

 grow larger, lovelier, more attrac- 

 tive season after season. Yet their 

 cost is but half of what you pay for 

 varieties not nearly so satisfactory.

Speakins of "The Wind Before 



the DaWn" By Dell H. Munger 



it is now a 20-Thousand novel. We are sure it will be in the 50- 

 Thousand Class soon. All this has come about in the short space of 

 five months, during which it has gone through five large printings, 

 the last one being as large as the other four combined. To show the 

 character of the interest the book has awakened, we give below an 

 excerpt from a letter from Meredith Nicholson, the well-known 



Writer. Xle Says; " 'The Wind Before the Dawn' is a rare American novel right out of 

 the soil, and my heart warmed to it. I wish all the women in the U.S. 

 who haven't anything to do but play bridge could be made to read this 

 novel. This is not only a good novel — a sound document verily — but 

 it's a good kind of book — the sort of thing we all of us ought to get be- 

 hind and boost. If this tale had been translated from the Russian it 

 would be pointed to as the sort of thing American literature lacked."
