A Real Rock Garden 
At Small Cost 
Nothing is more erroneous than that Rock gardens are an expensive 
hobby! Quite the contrary: Neither the initial cost nor the upkeep need 
be beyond the reach of the most modest purse. We are indebted to a 
customer for the picture of the rock garden shown above and we recall 
the initial order that was placed to plant this rockery, now 3 years ago. 
Here it is—

Any of above, 20c each, $2.00 per dozen. 
(Please do not ask us to fill orders amounting to less than two dollars) 
A Ten Dollar Investment will Help Yon 
to a Rockery and Border Just Like It! 
A small collection of rocks, a total of 56 plants above set out at random among them 
and an initial investment of $10.00 will seal the bargain, start the above collection 
to you. With each shipment goes the unqualified guarantee that you must be satisfied or 
we want to hear from you. 
Let Us Plan Your “Old Fashioned ” or 
“ Grandmother's Hardy Border ” Note 
Our "Artistic" Border, 5 0 feet long by 4 feet wide, holds 200 plants, and costs 
$30.00 only. Among other things, it contains single and double Hollyhocks, Larkspurs, 
Foxgloves, Phlox, Iris, Pinks, Columbines, Sweet Williams, and many other varieties 
arranged according to color, flowering season, size, etc. A perfect picture in your garden 
to last for years will be the result if you allow us now to plan a scheme, to be carried 
out this Fall. 
Write for our special folder giving specific information on what is practical to be 
planted this fall. It also shows a plan of our 5 0 foot hardy perennial border which has 
met with the unqualified approval of hundreds of satisfied patrons. The plan may be put 
in execution with the help of the plants mentioned above. Be sure to write for the 
circular to-day.

The Best for the Least! 
In last month’s announcement we offered Peony Lady Alexandra Duff, in 
an incidental way. We did not emphasize at that time what a remarkable 
value we offered. Looking through contemporary price lists we find this sort 
offered all the way from $5.00 for one-eye divisions to $8.00 for strong divi¬ 
sions. And Lady Alexandra Duff is worth all that, BUT—• 
We Have More Than We Need! 
Therefore we offer strong divisions—promise of flowers next June—at $6.00 
each postpaid. Rated at 9.1 points by the A. P. S. this immense pale rose 
beauty bears clusters of fragrant, water lily like, double flowers during mid¬ 
season. Treat yourself to one of the greatest treats in Peonydom at our low 
figure. 
Dutch Bulbs on The Way 
Liberal quantities of most popular sorts of Darwin, Breeder, Cottage as well as early Tulips, 
also Daffodils, Hyacinths, etc., will be on hand this month. Please write for a copy of our cata¬ 
logue, pronounced most dependable by hobbyists.
