More About Jewels 
of the 
Hardy Plant World 
We read so much these days about “Big” 
things, “Big” trees, and “Big” planting pro- 
jects, that we are all apt to forget that old 
but true phrase, “Good goods come in small 
packages.” Now the most charming gardens 
we have ever seen, have been almost min- 
iature rock gardens, and among the most 
charming plants growing therein, we found 
The Quaint Bullock’s Eye 
(Sempervivum tectorum) 
The very symmetrical rosettes, as shown 
below, average three to four inches in 
diameter, and are best at home between ! 
stones and crevices in the rockery. In ■ 
July, they bear red and purple flowers. 
The approach of Fall weather usually sees the 
red-brown tips of rosettes turn to a deeper hue. 
Altogether a charming plant, particularly in 
clumps or colonies. Strong plants 25c each, $2.50 
per dozen.

Perennials in Store Here

hardy plants, which stand first in beauty, in- ! 
terest and general utility. Our selec- :

The Sunshine Book 
Is Ready 
For You Garden Lovers 
It’s sunshiny inside and out. The cover is 
a burst of golden glow. Its text pages are 
filled with happy helpfulness. 
It is not a nurseryman’s or seedman’s idea 
of a garden catalogue at all. We just put 
it up to some garden lovers and enthusiasts 
to give us their ideas of what an ideal 
nursery and seed catalogue should be. That 
was last year, when we brought out the 
first Ten-Ten Book. 
Now comes the new one for 1921. It has 
all the goodly points of the first one, and 
added bundle of betterments. The 
illustrations are more charming. The text 
is in larger type, so you don’t have to put 
on your specs. 
For quick, easy reference, there 
illustrated index. A really interesting index, 
if you can conceive such a thing. As for 
general arrangement, everything is grouped 
in tens. No reading through arm-long 
lists of different species and varieties; life 
is too short; gardening too likeable a 
thing, to have its joys shortened by long 
lists. 
The Ten-Ten gives you the ten best things 
of each kind. Any one is as good as any 
other one. A lot of people just order 
all ten. 
Send along your name for the Ten-Ten 
Book, and have the joy of browsing through 
it during these winter months and, like- 
wise be able to order early, so you can 
start planting early. Sent free.
