The Fadeless Beauty of the Hardy Perennials eg 
Lends to the garden in which they grow a charm thatis as perpet- 
ual as the beauties of the flowers that composeit. Theinspiration * 
for the best gardening of recent years has come from gardens planted 
longago. They have grown into richer, fuller and mellower beauty 
instead of fading with time, and on the same spot have outlived 
three generations of owners.

THIS IS THE FLOWER GARDEN FROM WHICH 
WYOMISSING NURSERIES HAD THEIR START 
IT love this picture because it links together my dearest possessions 
.—family, friends and flowers. In my book I oall it ‘‘A quiet after- 
noon--the world within sheltered from the world without.’’? Wyo- 
missing Nurseries have grown from the flower garden which this 
picture shows as it was last summer. 
I CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO WRITE FOR 
FARR’S BOOK OF HARDY GARDEN PLANTS— 
if you have a hardy garden or plan to make one. I have prepared a 
complete new book describing the gems of Wyomissing Nurseries, 
and my friends pronounce it one of the handsomest they have ever 
seen. The whole book breathes the spirit of Wyomissing Nurseries 
and my very earnest wish is to be of help to you in establishing a 
garden that will be the pleasure to you that mine is to me. 
It tells of Irises, Peonies, Delphiniums, Phloxes, Oriental Poppies, 
Aquilegias, and a ‘host of other grand Hardy Plants, in a way that 
will make you love and want them, too. Don’t merely say ‘‘Please 
send me your book,’’ but tell me about your garden, what you have 
done, and what you hope to do. If I can help you with your garden, 
I want to do it.

Peace—The Grandest of All Gladioli— 
You Want It in Your Garden This Year 
It is a white, absolutely unapproached; a magnificent 
flower, wonderful in its purity, size and vigor, It will be 
a delight to you every hour of every day it is in bloom. 
Without it your garden will be incomplete. It is the best 
variety Mr. Groff, the greatest 
hybridizer of Gladioli in the 
world, has introduced. I 
specialize in Groff's Hybrid 
seedlings more than any other 
grower. 
There is a Reason Why Cowee’s 
Gladioli Bulbs are Best 
It is because I grow nothing 
but Gladioli, having over 
15,000 varieties. I live with 
them, study them, love them. 
Every bulb I send out is large, 
sound, healthy. No matter 
what your soil, these bulbs will 
bloom for you. Let me send you 
A Little Book Free: ‘The Uses of the Modern Gladiolus’ 
It will tell you just how to grow this royal flower and 
show you many uses for it, outdoors and in. It de- 
scribes this wonderful new variety, Peace, and others of 
the best named varieties in the world. Many are re- 
produced in their exquisite natural tints by the wonderful 
new French color process. Write for a copy to-day.
