HARDY 

 GARDEN 



FLOWERS 



You love flowers; your memory now is fresh for what you wish to do in your garden, 

 come to the nursery and take home boxes of plants; plant them and next Summer they 

 will bloom as if they had been there for a year. This list very inadequately represents 

 the variety and quality of what you can get. Our herbaceous department has been 

 replanted this year and the plants mostly are large, field-grown clumps that will please 

 you. 



You will find it a pleasure to make our herbaceous department your headquarters 

 for most of your flower garden ambitions. Come any time, study the plants, pick some 

 if there are plenty, take them home and see if you like the colors or if they are different 

 from what you have. To keep your flower garden at its best requires renewing several 

 times during the season. Come and take home plants in pots or with clumps of soil on 

 the roots. Go in the Rock Garden, see how you can arrange a better one.
