CHOICE ROCK PLANTS AND PERENNIALS 
2-year Plants, Field Grown 
We recently bought a well-known grower's entire collection, one of the 
finest in the United States, and the prices are reasonable. Come and see our 
new Rock Gardens, quarter mile west of 12-M,ile Comer, on Baseline Road. 
A garden of perennials grows more beautiful year by year, and it pre¬ 
sents such an infinite variety in flower and plant that every taste can be 
suited. We are going to urge, if your space permits, that several plants of 
a sort to be used in your garden (except the larger plants, where perhaps a 
single one may be effective) rather than just one plant each of many kinds. 
We think you’ll be better pleased with the results. 
And please order and plant early if possible—early planting is one of 
the greatest factors of success. Besides, in some of the rarer things, stocks 
are limited.
