STRONG PIELD-GROWN PLANTS 
(R. G. Indicates Rock Garden Plants) 
No flower garden is complete without 
a collection of these most valuable 
plants. With a little care they may be 
selected so as to give a, continuous sup¬ 
ply of flowers from early spring to 
autumn frosts. They require far less 
care than the annuals or bedding plants, 
and may be used to good advantage to 
All odd corners, along fences, and to 
screen unsightly objects. They are per¬ 
fectly hardy, and yet for winter they 
should have a slight covering of leaves 
or other litter. Care should also be 
taken to prevent pools of water stand¬ 
ing on them during winter.

We want you to know how much we 
appreciate the planting you have put 
in for us, at our residence. It is a 
constant source of pleasure to us, and 
the stock furnished has done very well 
indeed. The Rose bed is a “beauty”; I 
have found it pays to buy good Roses, 
even if they do cost more.
