Ferns and Flowers 

 for dark, shady places 



Why not develop your woodland into a beautiful, natural garden by planting 

 Gillett's hardy ferns and flowers? Plant beds of Trilliums, Hepaticas, Lady 

 Slippers, Wood Violets, Bloodroots, Dogtooth Violets, etc., in your shady spots 

 and bring to your home that touch of nature which other plants will not give. 

 OLD BOGS AND SWALES can be transferred into attractive gardens 

 by planting Gillet's hardy plants suitable for such locations. 

 If you wish to start a Fernery or Rockery, 



GILLETT 



has the plants and ferns most needed for such a purpose. 



Have you a shady nook by the house where grass will not grow ? Let 



me advise you what to plant in such a location. 



My thirty years of experience in growing native plants and ferns is at your service.
