 to know the best plants for growing in the sun and shade and the flowers 

 you can grow with the surest success ? 



HI" All these things the Gardening Guide will tell you — and more. It 

 -^ contains planting tables of vegetables and flower seeds, showing when 

 to plant, how deep, how far apart, time of blooming and ripening so ex- 

 plicit as to make your Spring planting a revelation in simplicity. There 

 are articles on landscaping and garden effects with scores of pictures 

 showing successful gardens and grounds, all of which will be of immense 

 aid in helping you to make your place beautiful from frost to frost. With 

 this Gardening Guide in your hand you simply cannot fail.

FARE'S NEW BOOK OF 

 HARDY PLANT SPECIALTIES 



To my friends and patrons, whom I came to know through 



my liist catalogue: {Concluded from last month) 



A Resolution — You ha\'e made me 

 realize the grave responsibility I 

 must assume if I continue to "make 

 good" in the face of a business that 

 has expanded so rapidly, maintaining 

 the high standard I have set and re- 

 I turning the confidence with which I 

 'have been favored. New friends I 

 hope to make, but I care more to 

 keep the old ones, and I am resolved 

 if possible to make Farr's Hardu 

 Plant Specialties mean more than a 

 mere name for selling plants. My 

 new book I have tried to make more 

 beautiful, more complete, and better 



in every way. If, as naany wrote, the old one was helpful, I 



have tried to make the new one more so. 

 The new catalogue is free to all who love hardy plants.
