GOLDEN GLOW 



Buckbee's "Full Life" Hardy 

 Perennial Plants and Shrubs 



The Old Fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers. The favorites of old-time trar- 



den are aarain popular and deservedly so. No feature of the garden can be more 

 satisfactory than a good assortment of these hardy plants pre ducing from early 

 Spring to late in the Fall a continuous succession' of charming flowei s whicb 

 are much more interesting than the usual greenhouse varieties and are equally 

 valuable for garden ornamentation and cutting purposes. Many people seem 

 to think that in order to get satisfactoiy results they must have lai^ge clumps 

 of these, but experience has taught us that this in most cases is a mistake. In 

 fact a vigorous plant of proper size ■n-ill in nearly every c<ise give quicker and 

 better returns than the best so called "Large" or '-Field'" clumps. The culti- 

 vation of these is of the simplest and they can be grown on any good gai-den 

 soil with good results. In order, however, to produce the most luxuriant flow- 

 ers it is well to enrich the groimd with any good fertilizer such as well decom- 

 posed cow or sheep manure. A covering of such manure applied in the Fall 

 will both enrich the soil and give protection during Winter.

 anthemums. As a summer cut bloom, it is invaluable.
