LET US PLAN YOUR 
HARDY GARDEN NOW! 
You Can Afford a Hardy Garden This Year 
Of course you will have a garden again this year and why not have a 
permanent one that will give the maximum amount of enjoyment with the 
minimum amount of labor and cost? Read what a customer writes us: 
“In these times of high cost of living when a man wishes to economize all along the line, 
your catalogue is indeed most satisfying. I have received probably every catalogue issued 
this spring by the large firms in the East and West and the prices presented by your house run 
from 33 % to 300% less on most every item. As I have purchased plants of you, I know that the 
stocks are equal in every instance to those sent out by the others, so it seems that the payment 
of high prices for the usual flower-garden this spring is a matter of choice and not of necessity. 
An Easily Made Perennial Garden 
is yours almost for the asking. Perennials add a feeling of permanency to your home sur- 
roundings. They change their plumage but not their face and keep reflecting the seasons all 
the year around. 
In our attractive booklet — “Hardy Gardens Easily Made for the Busy Man,” we show 
simply prepared plans adaptable to most situations with the lowest estimates of cost. A 
little money goes a long way and the results are lasting. 
On receipt of ten cents in stamps which will be credited to your first order, we will send 
you this valuable plan book, together with our handsomely illustrated catalogue (48 pages, 
9 x 12, the limit of true economy worked out).
