Courage is needed in gardening work, and 
you should not fail to pull out any plants 
which you have grown to dislike, or which 
seem to overcrowd your beds. Also, when 
you find better varieties than those you have, 
pull out and dispose of the poorer ones, 
always keeping before you the vision of a 
better garden. 
BACHELOR’S BUTTON 
At various times, and in various places, Bachelor’s 
Button has indicated various kinds of plants. To 
some people, it means English Daisy (Beilis), while 
to others, it suggests Centaurea, Gomphrena, or 
Ageratum. If our customers order by the Common 
Names used in their locality, we are at a loss to 
know what they really want. Always order by 
the name shown in our Catalogue.
