GROWING! 
TO TRAIN 
Garden Club nurserymen know that 
speed counts in handling growing 
things well. That's why these strong 
young plants have to be on the train 
to you 2 hours after they are dug 
from the earth. 
You can do your part toward get¬ 
ting the best from these well started 
plants by sending your order early. 
Perennials set out early in spring will 
respond with better development and 
hardier first season growth. 
We cannot specify here the ship¬ 
ping size of plants because of the 
different growing habits of the various 
species. You may be sure that, large 
or small, the plaints you receive are 
strong, field-grown stock, started by 
what we consider to be the finest 
perennial nursery in the country; they 
come to you still fresh from the earth— 
ready to give immediate beauty. 
Plants grown by this same grower 
and purchased elsewhere would cost 
you up to 50c each.
