Farr’s Hardy Plants 
For Spring Planting 
A Reminder—The swelling of the buds in March reminds us it is time to get busy, if 
the garden picture our fancy has created during the winter evenings is to become a living 
reality, embodying the choicest hardy plants that need so little care and last so long. 
The Look-Ahead Gardener Knows that early spring is the best time to plant most things, 
and the only proper time to plant some things that should have a prominent place in 
every hardy garden,—in fact, you can scarcely be without them, as 
Anemones, Hardy Asters, Chrysanthemums, Pyrethrums 
Primroses, Campanulas, Tritomas, Foxgloves, Etc. 
He Knows no time may be lost now; that he cannot afford to risk having his garden 
picture marred by plants inferior, or untrue to name, and that he will save time, annoy- 
ance and money, by ordering from 
The Look-Ahead Grower whose complete collections of the best things enable him to 
supply all his needs with the assurance that he will get just what he orders, without substi- 
tution. Knowing or wanting to know my plants, he will want my book, 
“Farr’s Hardy Plants”
