Hardy, Cliffwood grown, well rooted stock which may be planted as early in the spring as the ground is 
workable, or in the autumn. By using plants instead of seeds, one secures a lovely array of bloom the very 
first year. Also, for the amateur gardener, who wants a permanent bed of flowers, plants are to be recom¬ 
mended, rather than seed, as it obviates the labor of transplanting. For complete description, see flower seed 
section. Unless noted: Each, 19c; 3 (or 1 each of 3 different varieties) for 50c; 6 for 95c; dozen, $1.75; 25
