Grow 
Your 
Own— 
It's Lots More Fun! 
EVERYBODY wants 
Perennials — and wants 
them in generous measure, to 
secure the desired effects in fl 
color and charm. If you 
delay and finally buy plants, 
the cost mounts high; an 
attractive perennial border may 
require several hundred dollars’ worth 
of plants. 
Exactly the same results can be secured with 
#10 to #15 worth of SEEDS! And aside from the 
money saving you have the fascination of growing your own 
plants, nursing them from the beginning, and loving them all the 
more! Sow your seeds now, and the plants will bloom next year.
