Trip 
at the Century of Progress 
Dormant roses do not appear to me as so much thorny wood 
and coarse roots. They have that tiny spark of life that when 
planted causes them to grow and unfold that queen of all flowers, 
the rose. Its perfume is the wondrous product of its growth. 
Who can say that this is the product of the earth, the sun, or 
ra ^ n \ Within these tiny bulbs and coarse roots are held the latent 
possibilities of purest white and softest green; delicate pinks and 
vivid reds unmatched by man. It is all the work of Nature. 
And so my dream has been to create a garden, a naturalistic 
Plant a Bower on Your Grounds 
Trees have many useful purposes other than shade and ornament. One of the 
most interesting uses is to plant them so as to form a thick arbor or bower. They 
can also be planted so as to form many other shapes. Planting them close to* 
gether will dwarf the trees and by pruning once or twice a year they can be made 
to take on most any shape desired. American Elms are especially adapted to this 
kind of work. These should be planted about 3 feet apart in the row for best 
results. We are offering American Elm, 6 to 8 ft, for bower purposes at #5.00 
per doz., not prepaid. 
garden, a garden where some of our thousands of varieties could be 
grouped and displayed; a garden where the multitude could see and 
enjoy it with me. And Krider’s Diversified Garden is the result. 
In laying out the garden I was fortunate to secure the aid of one 
of the best landscape men in the United States, Mr. A. J. Vocke, 
of Tippecanoe City, Ohio. To Mr. Vocke goes the credit of many 
original features never used in a garden before. The Mushroom 
Tea House, the Desert Sun Dial, and the naturalistic grouping of 
the entire setting was brought about by his creative genius. 
I was also fortunate in securing the services 
of a master builder, Mr. L. N. Miller, of 
Elkhart, Indiana, whose genius and equipment 
enabled me to reproduce Mr. Vocke’s dreams.

And immortalize her fame.
