There is a lasting quality about perennials because they renew their beauty every 

 spring, and if a good selection is made, they will keep a garden a-bloom all the season. 

 A number of annuals should also be grown in bare places until the perennials attain 

 full growth and begin to flower. This collection consists of 17 of the most popular and 

 easily grown sorts which will bloom the year following, the sowing of seed. A few, in- 

 cluding Coreopsis, Gaillardia, etc., often flower the sairre year, if the seed is sown early 

 in spring. 



Perennial flower seed can be sown in the open] ground from early spring to about 

 August 1st in the latitude of New York.

GARDENS OF THE GREAT— IN MEMORY OF GROVER CLEVELAND 



On the front cover of this book we picture the house 

 and a portion of the garden, at Caldwell, N. J., where on 

 March 18th, 1837, Grover Cleveland, one of our greatest 

 Presidents, first saw the light. 



The house is similar to many others of the period and 

 as was then the custom the garden was quite extensive. 

 Box edgings and hedges were much used and remnants 

 of them are yet to be seen here and there. Native Ameri- 

 can trees and shrubs, and hardy perennial plants, com- 

 mon to the gardens of our grand-parents are much used. 



Christened Stephen Grover, after the predecessor of his 

 father in the Presbyterian pulpit at Caldwell, he dropped 

 the "Stephen" after the family removed to Fayetteville, 

 New York. 



He was descended from Moses Cleveland, an early 

 English pioneer, who settled at Woburn, Mass., in 1635. 

 A later Moses Cleveland founded the City of Cleveland, 

 Ohio. President Cleveland attained great fame for his 

 sturdy defense of American rights abroad. 



He died, much regretted by all the nation, on June 

 24th, 1908 and was buried at Princeton, N. J., his favo- 

 rite place of residence. 



Our firm's recollections of Grover Cleveland arc 

 especially pleasant because, we had the honor 

 of supplying him with our tested garden and field 

 seeds. 



We print a fac-simile of one of his orders to us 

 at the time he was President; showing the great 

 confidence he had in our business methods.
