AH! - HAH! 
We THOUGHT So! LOOK at Yourself! 
S PRING only a little ways off and your Garden Problems still unsolved. There you are, 
surrounded by all kinds of Garden Books and Catalogs, still worrying. Can’t find just 
what you want, can you? Think your Garden is all right the way it is, do you? Don’t 
think you can use another plant, no room; the Garden is too crowded as it is. 
Well, you seem mighty self satisfied for a garden lover and enthusiast. For the love of Pete, wake up, organise 
yourself, give yourself the Third Degree. You’ve been slipping of late, and your garden, too. Of course, it's too 
crowded. Look at those ordinary, common perennials that you’ve allowed to monopolize your garden because they 
increase rapidly and you “hate, like the dickens, to throw them away.” 
Don’t you know that a common, inferior plant takes just as much room and much more, in fact, than a really 
fine variety? That its flowers are much poorer and less attractive? That the confounded thing is always crowding 
out other plants? Well, yank it out, throw it away; give it to some guy that gets you "all het up.” Let him "wrassle” 
with it. You’ve done your darndest by the pest and look what you got out of it. Nothing, absolutely nothing! 
NOW, here is where we come in! We’ve got what you want and we want you to have it. What you need is “NEW 
BLOOD” in your garden. Something that will keep alive and increase your interest in your flowers and that will 
bring out the admiring Ahs and Ohs of your friends and neighbors. That “New Blood” is to be found in the fob 
lowing, large selection of different, better and rarer types of Hardy Perennials. OH BOY! WHAT A SELEC¬ 
TION! You better plan and plant that perennial border, garden or rockery, right now.
