FLOWER SEEDS 



ARDENS much of the personality of their owner! We know of nothing more 



susceptible to influence; in fact, to know a man's garden is often to know his true char- 

 acter. The simple joys of gardening should be known to everyone whether his portion 

 is in the countryside or in the large city. The cultivation of a Morning-Glory in the 

 back yard of a city lot will bring as real happiness as the larger gardens which are found in the 

 open country. There are such possibilities for variation and such a v^de choice of flowers that 

 of necessity no two gardens in all the world are just alike. There are sea-gardens, refreshed hy 

 the cooling ocean breezes; inland gardens, surrounded by giant trees and spreading lawns under 

 the summer moonlight; memorial gardens with their quiet spiritual charm; and, then again, there 

 are gardens in the mountains. These there are, and many more. Are you getting the greatest 

 happiness out of yours, and does your garden reflect your personality?

HERBS FROM SEED 



Herbs are frequently a very profitable crop to grow for market. Some are grown for the seed, such as Dill, Caraway and Coriander, and 

 these are used liberally, particularly by Germans, in seasoning their food. The other varieties. Sage, Winter Savory and Thyme are planted 

 so as to cut and dry the leaves and stems, and are sold in quantity to butchers and packing-houses who use them in flavoring sausages, 

 potted meats, etc. For the small garden, however, there should be a small planting of Herbs for use on the home table. Also the small 

 gardener has a demand for bouquets of pot-herbs. The Herbs can be mixed with tops of celery, leek, parsnip, carrots, small onions and 

 parsley. This demand is quite constant and will yield a considerable return. To preserve the leaves, the stems should be cut from the 

 plant just before the blossom appears, leaving a few joints at the base to sprout into fresh growth. They are then tied up in small bunches 

 and hung up to dry-. All Herbs are offered this year subject to war risk.

OPHELIA'S FLOWERS 



A Notable Collection of Those Mentioned In Shakespeare's "Hamlet" 



To date, no collection of this kind has ever been offered, so far as we know, but the flowers mentioned therein are so rich in 

 emblematic meaning that they will, no doubt, be of interest to many, even though the decorative value of two or three is not so 

 prominent, and although perfect harmony may be lacking to the eye of the professional landscape gardener. \\'ith the exception 

 of the Pansy, which is a biennial, the remainder of the collection is perennial and will, therefore, form a permanent corner in your 

 garden. Many persons buy Pansy plants in preference to sowing the seed but, of course, to make this collection complete. Pansy 

 seed is included. Who does not know the lines, "There's Rosemary, that's for remembrance; . . . and there is Pansies, that's 

 for thoughts." This collection, therefore, is made up of the following: 



Rosemary. Small, light blue flowers. 

 Fennel. Light yellow flowers and dense 

 foliage. 3 feet. 



Pansy. Mixed colors. 

 Columbine. Mixed colors. 

 Rue. Yellow flowers. 2 feet. 



The above collection is sent postpaid for 25 cts.

 Violet. Single; blue. 4 inches.
