"Old -Fashioned" Hardy Flowers Again 

 Set "New Fashion" in Gardening 



True value and merit win every time and anywhere. Back in the Colonial days the lady 

 of the house prided herself on her hardy flower-garden, seeds and plants of which came from 

 the old estates in England. As the years rolled by, fashions changed. Tender plants, laid 

 out in formal designs, surrounded homes and ornamented lawns. Until quite recently, canna 

 beds and salvia were still in vogue. But the last decade has seen the pendulum of public 

 opinion swing back toward the steady, reliable, old-fashioned favorites, plants that Jack 

 Frost may put to sleep but will not hurt; flowers that come up again with each recurring 

 spring; plants that spread and grow larger year after year and, of course, bear more flowers 

 as the plants grow older and larger. 



To further stimulate the interest in old-fashioned hardy gardens, we make the following 

 unrivaled offer:
