to go into the garden and gather huge armfuls of choice cut-flowers. 
Flowers purchased in a store can never be as interesting as a 
bouquet cut fresh from your own garden. The Helichrysums or 
Everlasting Flowers included in this collection may be dried, and 
will remain bright and attractive for an entire year. These varieties 
are just as suitable for beds and borders.

A COLLECTION OF PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS FOR 
Rockeries and Rock Gardens 
4761 Collection of 15 Kinds—a $2.50 value for $1.50 postpaid. 
When laying out a rock garden, it will help to study some natural 
rock formation. If a bank or terrace already existing is utilized, 
loosen it up with a pickaxe and add more soil. Place the stones in 
position, but work the soil well around to prevent air spaces. ’ 
Preparations for a Rock Garden must be made ahead, if Perennials 
are used, as they do not bloom the first year. Seeds should be planted 
outdoors on the rock garden in the places they are to grow, early in 
spring and up to July 15th. We recommend planting Darwin Tulips 
and other bulbs in Rock Gardens to provide a show in spring.
