“Farr’s Hardy Plants” 
a book that you want 
A N old hardy garden is a place sacred with tender memories. There is a 
personality and a sense of companionship about the plants which bloom 
there that make us become attached to them. They are a part of the old 
associations and the home life, like members of the family—perhaps they 
remind us of absent ones who planted them long ago, as year by year we 
tenderly protect them for their winter sleep, and impatiently await their 
awakening each spring. 
Perhaps yours is not an old garden but a new one, the planning of 
which has been all your own, and its accomplishment a realization of your 
own fancies. But whether new or old, it is a place of recreation and 
forgetfulness of business cares, a safety-valve from overwork and a place 
where the man who is city-tired may find rest and new life. 
Let Me Help Make Your Hardy Garden 
^ ove the hardy garden flowers as I do, you will want my new book, which 
tells how my hobby grew into a business and how I came to have the largest 
American collections of Peonies, Irises, Anemones, Phlox, and other truly 
desirable perennial plants. 
Eh © book may be an inspiration to you, as it has been to others. When you 
read it, you may want to write and tell me about your garden and share with 
me your joy m hardy plants. The message of the stately Iris, “the rainbow 
flower, the charm ot the glorious Peony, and the lure of the gorgeous Poppv 
are expressed in the book, which too, contains full page color plates of fine 
flowers m each class. Shall / send you a copy ? Free if you write.
