A ROCKERY OF SEDUMS 
Junior Sedum Garden Collection 
Furnishes blooms all summer and 
foliage the rest of the year. In winter 
months, after frost arrives, and when 
not covered with snow the rocks are 
covered with beautiful sods and tufts of 
foliage that are now changed into beau¬ 
tiful greens, reds, bronzes, yellows, grays 
and blues which contrast beautifully 
with the rocks. My sedum rockery to 
me, is just as enjoyable as that portion 
covered with other flowers. 
One generous clump each of twelve 
different varieties for $2.00.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION 
When you buy plants from us you 
are sure of TWO very important stages 
toward successful results. 
FIRST: The seed and plant stock 
from which we propagate is carefully 
selected and obtained from the best 
known sources of improved strains. 
SECOND: Our type of soil and meth¬ 
ods of growing plants produce plenty 
of good, healthy roots. 
GLOXINIAS 
These showy plants are easily grown 
in pots for summer or winter blooming. 
They make a glorious display of blooms 
for a long time. Plant the bulbs in 
small individual pots. The soil best 
suited should contain plenty of leaf 
mould, some sand and well rotted cow 
manure Place the pots in a warm win¬ 
dow and keep moderately moist but do 
not water to excess. When roots be¬ 
come crowded in first pots the plant 
should be transplanted into larger ones. 
Protect against direct, strong sunlight. 
Just before plants come into bloom an 
application of very weak liquid manure 
is of great benefit. 
2 yr. bulbs, 20c each; 3 for 50c; 7 for 
$ 1 . 00 . 
4 yr. bulbs, 40c each; 3 for $1.00; 7
