The Charm of Old Plantings 
How They Can be Reproduced 
When you look at a charming view of an old fashioned flower garden 
you wonder why you can’t have one, filled with such beauty and con- 
tentment. And vou can. 
W HEN you see one of 
those colonial home- 
inviting entrances, 
around which shrubbery is 
restfully snuggled, and may- 
hap a festoon of blooming 
roses caressing the door frame; 
you wonder why you can't 
give to your friend-welcoming 
doorway an equal interest and 
character. 
And you can. 
When you pass a winter 
scene, with the old house sen- 
tineled mid beautiful snow 
laden evergreens, you wonder 
why you can’t have a like 
effect on your grounds. 
And you can. 
When you catch an alluring 
glimpse of a tree lined drive; 
or a peep over the hedge at a 
box bordered walk and expan- 
sive shade trees, subduing the 
sun's glare and giving an air of 
restful repose to it all; you 
wonder why you can’t sur- 
round your home and grounds 
with a like effect. 
And you can. 
Y OU can, provided you do 
your planting planning 
with just such definite re- 
sults in mind and then stick to 
the methods to best secure them. 
So many disappointments 
are caused by listening to the 
enthusiastic recommendations 
of one’s friends, to plant this or 
that, irregardless of whether or 
not it fits into vour picture. 
Or your soil or your climate. 
Much time and needless 
money is also put in useless ex- 
periments. Our Advisory Ser- 
vice Department can relieve 
you of all such uncertainties, 
and abundantly help you to 
make your dreams come true. 
Tell us exactly what you 
want to accomplish, and we 
will gladly tell you how it can 
best be done, in the quickest 
way, that is the surest way. 
Of course, our catalogue of 
hardy flowers, shrubs, ever- 
greens and shade trees, you are 
most welcome to. But we sin- 
cerely hope you will take ad- 
vantage of the help our Service 
Department is so willing to 
give you. 
In this old fashioned garden there are ten different hardy plants. 
We will send you 3 of each — 30 in all — for $10.00. Every one will 
be a choice, fully rooted, hardy plant, that if given half a chance 
will be sure to bloom the first year.
