Fair's Lovely Lilacs 



Many new varieties at Wyomissing, originated by the famous French producer, 

 M. Lemoine, bloom more freely and produce much larger trusses than the older types. 

 Lilacs should be planted this month; in early spring you will be rewarded with blooms 

 and fragrance not surpassed by any other shrubs. 



Philadelphia and Deutzias 2T^yM Ch JZo^ te'Z: 



ticularly attractive because of their extra large flowers and delicate colorings. October 

 and early November are the ideal times for planting. 



Farr's Hardy Plant Specialties 



(seventh edition, 1920) is a book of over a hundred pages, with illustrations of Lilacs 

 in natural color, and other photographic reproductions. Too costly for miscellaneous 

 distribution, but a copy will be sent on receipt of $1, which sum will be deducted 

 from your first order amounting to $10.

 Do You Know the Name 



of this Odd Flower? 



Many Californians will recognize this bloom, and 



some garden enthusiasts in the Eastern and Central 



|j| States may know its name. It is "Fairy Lantern," one 



of the novelties shown in my catalogue of "California 



Bulbs," which shows others even more attractive. 



Ill My catalogue of "Perennial Plants'* contains the standard Irises 

 = and Peonies, together with many other hardy plants that are almost 

 unknown except on the Pacific Coart. You'll appreciate the op- 

 portunity to surprise your friends and obtain new garden thrills. 

 I'll mail either or both of these catalogues if you send your name.

 tions — outdoors — wintered, and acclimated to all cli-

 season.

The Perfect Mulch 



Experts agree that Fall transplanted shrubs, 

 trees, bulbs, etc., are much surer to thrive 

 next Spring if properly mulched. The 

 trouble with most mulch ordinarily used is

 pests. You need not fear that this will 

 happen if you use our 



Cut TOBACCO Stems
