You Can Afford This Year a Hardy Garden 



Of course you will have a garden again this year and why not have a 

 permanent one that will give the maximum amount of enjoyment with the 

 minimum amount of labor and cost. Read what a customer writes us: 



"In these times of high cost of living when a man wishes to economize all along the line, 

 your catalogue is indeed most satisfying. I have received probably every catalogue 

 issued this spring by the large firms in the East and West and the prices presented by 

 your house run from 33% to 300% less on most every item. As I have purchased 

 plants of you. I know that the stocks are equal in every instance to those sent out by 

 the others, so it seems that the payment of high prices for the usual flower garden 

 this spring is a matter of choice and not of necessity." 



An Easily Made Perennial Garden 



is yours almost for the asking. Perennials add a feeling of permanency to 

 your home surroundings. They change their plumage but not their face 

 and keep reflecting the seasons all the year around. 



Inourattractivebooklet— "Hardy Gardens Easily Made for theBusy Man," 

 we show simply prepared plans adaptable to most situations with the lowest 

 estimates of cost. A little money goes a long way and the results are lasting. 



On receipt of ten cents in stamps which will be credited to your first order, 

 we will send you this valuable plan book together with our handsomely illus- 

 trated catalogue (48 pages 9x12, the limit of true economy worked out).

Hardy Garden Roses 



Success in a Rose Garden depends 

 largely upon the strength and quality 

 of the Rosebushes you plant. Plant- 

 ing should be done now if you want 

 arms full of roses next summer and 

 autumn. The Rosebushes we supply 

 now for immediate planting are abso- 

 lutely guaranteed to bloom profusely 

 throughout this season and are of the 

 strongest, most vigorous quality in 

 genuine varieties as follows: 



Alfred Colomb Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 



Frau Karl Druschki Killarney 



General Jacqueminot La France 

 Madame Gabriel Luizet Madame Abel Chatenay 

 Ulrich Brunner Mrs. R.G. Sharman Crawford 



Captain Christy Baby Rambler 



Caroline Testont Pink Baby Rambler 



Hermosa 



Most of this stock was imported to this country two years ago and 

 grown here. This means they are all acclimated and consequently will 

 prove much more satisfactory than freshly imported roses. 



To introduce our superior quality we offer these Rosebushes at the excep- 

 tional price of 35 cents each, $3.25 a dozen and $25.00 per hundred deliv- 

 ered free to your home for immediate orders only. All goods not satisfactory 

 may be immediately returned and money refunded. We also offer a few 

 hundred Standard Roses in above varieties at 75 cents each, $8.50 per dozen. 



Send us the names of two of your friends who use bulbs and we will send 

 you free our fall catalogue for bulb planting. Order now our famous $5. 00

The Barrie Forcing Frame 



is the result of 

 visiting one of our 

 leading gardeners 

 and seeing home- 

 made frames in 

 use on the estate; 

 the idea seemed 

 good; the results 

 are surprising. It 

 was easily seen 

 how he could pro- 

 duce vegetables 

 in the open in 

 advance of his 

 neighbors. 



Under these 

 frames , corn cab- 

 bage, cauliflower, 

 lettuce, cucum- 

 bers, tomatoes, 

 melons, egg 



plant, etc., as well as all tender flowers can be started and grown in the open 

 ground and brought to maturity much earlier than usual. 



The frames placed over rhubarb or other permanent plants, either vege- 

 tables or flowers greatly hasten their maturity in the Spring. 



Lettuce, etc., can be grown under or protected by the frames through the 

 late Fall. 



Excellent for the starting of tender flowers and vege- 

 table seeds for transplanting into the open ground. 

 Price, $7.50 per six, $15.00 per doz., 60 for $69.00, 96 for $105.00. 



Send for our 1013 Seed Annual and read more about the Barrie Forcing Frames. How they are 

 made. What they will do. Contains a most complete list, fully illustrated, of Vegetable and 

 Flower Seeds — the latest introductions.

How Any One Can 

 Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delicious Delicacy for the Home 

 Table and a. Good Income if you Wish. 



I have been growing mushrooms for 

 over twelve years. I probably know 

 more about the subject of mushroom 

 culture than anyone else in America. 

 From a start with a few dollars capital 

 I built up the largest mushroom farm 

 in America, with acres of bed space in 

 cultivation. By actual experience I 

 have learned just how mushrooms can 

 be grown and what's even more im- 

 portant, how they can not be grown. 



Growing mushrooms is really no 

 more difficult than growing radishes. 



It's just a matter of knowing how. 



Every failure in the mushroom busi- 

 ness can be traced to poor spawn and 

 unreliable information.

Formerly Jackson Mushroom Farm, Chicago, Illinois 



I have shown thousands of men and 

 women how to grow mushrooms suc- 

 cessfully. Most all of them are now in 



the business growing: for profit and making: 

 a g:ood income without interfering" with their 

 regoilar occupation with this wonderful, easy, 

 pleasant pastime. I hope soon that a mush- 

 room bed will be as common as vegetable 

 gardens. 



I have written a little book which jrives 

 truthful, reliable, experienced information 

 about mushroom culture, where mushrooms 

 can be frown, how to have a mushroom bed 

 in your cellar, etc. It also tells about spawn 

 and how to secure really reliable spawn. 

 I shall g-ladly send you this book Free. 



If you have never tried mushroom grow- 

 ing:, or if you have tried and failed because of 

 the causes of which I have spoken, write for 

 my free book in which I will show you be- 

 yond the shadow of a doubt that you can 

 have a fine mushroom bed. Address
