No need to send to one Nursery for this; that Nur-

Nurseries to find out why this or that doesn’t come.

Nursery after all the other stock is received from the 
other Nurseries.

by our severe New England Winters; and because the 
strong fibrous roots that make for that sturdy backbone 
are all carefully preserved in digging up for shipment. 
You get all of the roots, as well as all of the tops when 
you buy Bay State stock. 
With our catalogue before you, it will be an easy 
matter to make your selections. You are most

Something 
About 
Our Hardy 
Flowers 
They are hardy 
flowers that really 
are hardy. 
This rugged New 
England climate of 
ours automatically 
culls out the weak- 
lings from our stock; 
and because every 
plant that we sell has 
stood the supreme 
test that it imposes 
you can be absolutely 
sure of its hardiness. 
Every plant has 
good vigorous roots 
and on most varieties 
you can depend upon 
bloom the first season 
after planting. 
Every plant re- 
quires not the least 
bit of coddling and 
will come smiling 
through rigorous winters. 
From our Hardy 
Flower catalogue, you 
can select the old-timey 
favorites that you will 
want for your garden.
