throughout the world. 
The Cornell Irrigation Sys-

gardens more productive. 
The Cornell Systems may be 
installed at any time without 
injury or unsightliness to lawn 
or garden.

try estates, country clubs, and

TN its exquisite daintiness, heightened 
by its feathery green foliage, Cosmos

flowers. A special strain is our Double 
Crested White Queen (Page 79 in 1921 
Catalogue. Also see list of novelties 
on page 7). 
Our catalogue lists flower and vegetable 
seed collections from 50c up and gives 
complete instructions for planting and

Horsford’s Cold Weather Plants 
When you get nursery stock from Vermont you 
can be sure that it is hardy. Our Hardy Plants, 
Wild Flowers, Lilies, Orchids, Hardy Ferns, Vines, 
Shrubs, and Trees which we grow here have always 
given satisfaction when properly set. Trees and 
Shrubs that we have found tender in severe win- 
ters have been discarded from our lists. Ask for our 
New Annual before making up your list of wants.
