BEAUTIFY YOUR HOME WITH FLOWERS 
We want to see flowers in abundance around every Southern home, no matter whether it be a town 
home or a farm hoine. Our Special low-priced flower seeds and collections are a good starter. Our 
Rose, Geranium and Chrysanthemum Collections and the plants named in this catalog will surround 
your home with beautiful flowers. Even if you can’t go all the way this year, make a start at least 
towards beautifying home surroundings at this time. You will be delighted with the results. 
i)rnamental Garden 
Guid^ Make the garden your 
vuiuv outdoor living room. 
Make it private; not snobbish, but 
personal, by surrounding it with a 
hedge or dense mass of shrubbery. 
Keep it in harmony with its sur- 
roundings and with the house it 
adjoins. Follow the “line of least 
resistance” in using native, hardy 
plants that are sure to grow and 
look natural. 
Avoid formality, excessive sym- 
metry and monotony. This does 
not mean that straight lines and 
repetition are not in good taste, for 
direct paths are often best and a 
Acalypha Sanderii long border of Phlox, for example, 
seldom suggests monotony, while an alternation of short and tall 
clumps or pink and white masses might easily do so. 
Don’t aim for quick, cheap results, nor a disconnected Collection 
of botanic exhibits, but a series of related pictures. 
Keep the lawn spaces open, massing plants along the edges in- 
stead of all oyer the lawn. If the surroundings are pleasing, leaye 
places to see them; otherwise screen them out with shrubbery 
Lse originality. Few gardens can be successfully copied, and 
you don t want an imitation, anyway.
