GIANT COMET ASTERS 
In the “House of 
Sonderegger” there 
is no overlapping 
of the work of re¬ 
sponsible men. 
Every one has his 
assigned post for 
which he has had 
the fundamental 
training. It so hap¬ 
pens that I am the 
Propagator. And 
this work has been 
assigned to me by 
my father when I 
still walked down 
to the little country 
school. Conse¬ 
quently all my later 
studies here and 
abroad were ap¬ 
pointed so as to 
give me what a propagator must know. 
This explains, too, why I am not selling 
tires or paint, but in selecting and prop¬ 
agating choice plants and trees. I chal¬ 
lenge any rival. In this line of goods I 
am placing at your service a 30-year 
experience. Any novelty, including my 
own productions of plants have to go 
through my test ground. All that are 
good and found fit for propagation are 
multiplied by expert methods. This sys¬ 
tem assures you at all times of getting 
stock that will be satisfactory. It will be 
as represented, clean, healthy, ready to 
bloom and do good for you.

All my flower seeds 
are grown by flower 
seed growers who 
have specialized i n 
the growing of good 
seeds for the past 40 
years. It takes years 
of special work to 
build up different 
strains of plants that 
will produce the very 
best flowers that can 
be grown. I do not 
buy flower or vege¬ 
table seeds from ama¬ 
teurs. If there were 
a better grade of seed 
on the market I 
would get it, and here 
is the reason why. We have been in this 
business for the last 50 years and we 
depend on it for a living. We realize 
that only with the best quality seeds can 
we keep our customers, with whose pat¬ 
ronage we can carry on our business. 
Seeds marked “A” or Annual, bloom the 
first year and must be sown again every 
year. Seeds marked “P,” Perennials, are 
hardy, and will continue for a number of 
years, some of them attain the blooming 
age in the second year. Grown from the 
seed they are not always sure to bloom 
the first year. Our perennial plants will 
bloom the first season, as they are two 
years old. (For prices of plants see 
page 32-38.)
