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. 



In our attractive booklet — "Hardy Gardens Easily Made for the Busy 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 five 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).

TRADE MARK 



Plants and Trees 



FROM FLORIDA 



For Southern planting outdoors and 

 for house decoration in the North 



WE have made a special study of this matter for 

 30 years and have achieved a success in grow- 

 ing beautiful plants and in delivering them in like 

 beautiful condition to the most distant purchasers. 



It takes special care and prep- 

 aration to properly pack delicate 

 palms, ferns, etc., to stand a trip 

 of thousands of miles, but we do 

 it — not just once in a while, but 

 a good many times every workday. 

 We issue a large catalog covering 

 all our stock, having 17 special 



Departments; the plants and trees, 

 etc., are all classified in these De- 

 partments, with special notes on 

 hardiness to withstand cold, and 

 when to transplant, and so on, so 

 that a novice can make intelligent 

 selections for the living room, con- 

 servatory, orchard or garden. 



We Have the Stock 



in immense variety, from all over the tropics, 

 and are constantly adding to our variety. 

 Whenever you want a rare (or common) 

 plant or tree merely look in our complete 

 index in catalog, which should be on your 

 desk or library table for ready reference, 

 and order it by Parcel Post at catalog 

 price, postpaid, or, if a large specimen, by 



Express or Freight. We ship to all our 

 foreign colonies Mexico, Canada, Europe 

 and all tropical countries, as well as all 

 parts of the United States. On receipt of 

 your request we shall be glad to send a 

 catalog, and we promise no follow-up 

 literature or passing your name on to other 

 firms.

Fair's Bulbs from Holland 



Imported to Your Own Order 



You who desire the better grades of spring flowering bulbs for autumn 

 planting will welcome this special import service. 



Again this year the most conscientious bulb fanciers in Holland are pro- 

 ducing their finest stock for me exclusively. These bulbs I offer at prices 

 no higher than ordinarily are asked for indifferently good stock. To secure 

 this first selec.ion for my clients I must have the orders in the hands of the 

 growers early in July, so the "mother bulbs" of Farr quality may be sorted 

 out in the field. Therefore, I offer 



Ten Per Cent. Discount on Orders Before July 1 



Many rare and valuable daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, bulbous irises and 

 other plants are described in my 1913 book, "Farr's Quality Bulbs and 

 Plant Specialties," sent gladly to you who prefer quality to quantity. 



Come to Wyomissing June 1 to 7 to see 

 600 kinds of Peonies in Bloom 



Only by seeing can you realize the wealth of beauty of the peony fields at 

 Wyomissing — acres on acres of glorious bloom, rich with the warmth of 

 myriad glowing colors. Here you can select your own favorites and study 

 the newest of the queen of summer flowers. Peonies will be at their best 

 June r to 7, when I will be glad to meet visitors. Come to Wyomissing — 

 let me know when to meet you.
