'More and Better Fruits and Flowers 



'Nature 

 in Her Modest Moods 



A WOODLAND, shade, the odor of sweet, decaying leaves. More 

 leaves drop, then snow; and then a faint rustling — nature stir- 

 ring from her winter's sleep, with the wild flowers lifting their 

 heads above the beneficial cover of last fall's leaves. A sym- 

 phony of color greets him who happens upon a patch of inter- 

 mingled wild Violets and Liiy-of-tne-Valley — such as the writer 

 stumbled upon in Europe some years ago. And the same 

 charm of that far away woodland may be created in our own 

 gardens by planting this great combination: 



Two Charming Hardy Plants 



Lily-of-the-Valley, with its chaste fragrant bells of purest 

 white; Gov. Herrick Violet, dark purple flowers of great size 

 and fragrance. Both prefer partial shade and make a lovely 

 picture. We will supply 12 clumps of Lily-of-the-Valley and 

 12 strong plants of the 

 Violet for $4.00. 



And When 

 'Nature runs on 

 a rampage — 



Double Hollyhocks — 



Not only are the flowers 

 very large and wonder- 

 fully perfect in makeup, 

 but they are produced m 

 far greater numbers and 

 for a much longer season 

 than the old-fashioned 

 Hollyhocks. We grow 

 them in separate colors, 

 namely: Maroon, Pink, 

 Red, Salmon, White, 

 and Yellow. Extra se- 

 lectedfield-grownroots, 

 each, .20c.; dozen, $2.00; 

 100, $12.50.
