Me Help Build You 
A “ Fairyland ” Garden 
One of my customers describes Farr’s Iris “Wyomissing” as “blooming 
in every faiiy color”—a happy phrase and an ideal description. Wyomis- 
sing Nurseries are a veritable fairyland—an enchanted spot wherein I 
constantly find new joys and where life, to me and to my dear ones, 
daily takes on new brightness and glory as new flower-wonders unfold. 
A Well-Known Author Writes of My Work : 
“At Wyomissing Nurseries Mr. Farr grows Irises, Phloxes and Hardy 
Plant Specialties, of greater variety and magnificence than are to be 
found anywhere else in the world. Bertrand H. Farr is a man of the 
Henry David Thoreau type; only where Thoreau was content to admire 
and describe, Mr. Farr must evolve and make the beautiful even more 
beautiful. Jlr. Farr, like Thoreau, lives in a fairyland.” 
“Farr’s Hardy Plants’’—A Book 
That Will Delight Your Heart 
and convert you to a more passionate love for the growing things. This 
book will help you make “fairyland” of your own garden. 1 shall be 
glad to send you a copy.

When You Decorate 
Your Home 
Nothing adds to the beauty of a home so much as 
walls and woodwork painted with good lead-and-oil 
paint, the walls stenciled with attractive designs. 
Painted walls are durable and washable; one soiled 
spot does not require the re-decoration of an entire 
room. Tinted and decorated with exclusive stencil 
designs, they perfectly represent your own tastes. 
Paint made of 
Dutch Boy Painter 
Pure White Lead 
and pure linseed oil is ideal for home decoration. It 
is thoroughly sanitary and is kept clean as easily as 
tiled walls. Whether put on half gloss, like an egg¬ 
shell, or with a full flat surface, it not only lasts the 
longest, but is the richest, most artistic finish.
