More and Better Fruits and Flowers 



Qardens 

 of Lasting 

 Loveliness 



Somehow, mankind does appreciate 

 loyalty. Whether from man, beast or 

 plant, the recurring proofs of fidelity 

 count most and it is that particular char- 

 acteristic that makes the so-called "old-fashioned" perennial 

 flower gardens a permanent object of admiration. 



The Planning — Select the flowers you like, and then, on 

 the basis of descriptions, plan your garden. Study their rela- 

 tive height and blooming season. Plan for a background, a 

 middle elevation and a dwarf border. Choose classes bloom- 

 ing early, midseason and late, and choose your favorite colors. 



We have selected for those who are reluctant to do their own 

 choosing (because of lack of experience) a collection of hardy 

 favorites covering a wide range of colors, a long blooming 

 season and a great variety of heights. Here it is, a well chosen 

 border that will give you joy for years and years:
