The blossoming beauty of nine out of ten gardens ends with 
Summer. Yet two or three months remain when the most 
wonderful color effects of all the year are to be obtained by 
the planting of 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The characteristic tones of these 
late flowering plants blend with 
the natural autumnal tints. They 
bring into the garden the marvel¬ 
ous glory of the woods after the 
first frost—russet browns, golden 
yellows, bronze reds. They should 
be as much a feature of every gar¬ 
den in the Fall as the bulb bloom¬ 
ing plants of Spring. My Hardy 
Chrystanthemums are the result of 
the most careful selection from 
hundreds of varieties of the best 
domestic and foreign origin. 
To start them in your garden 1 
will send, express prepaid, one 
splendid plant each of 20 dis¬ 
tinct varieties for $2.50. 
May and June are the months to 
plant for Fall blooming. Don’t lose 
two of the most delightful months 
in your garden. My book of 
Hardy Plant Specialties will tell 
you all about them. 
I began growing Dahlias years ago for my own pleasure. The 
past season I have studied over 2,500 varieties with the pur¬ 
pose of selecting just those which would give’ the greatest 
satisfaction in anybody’s garden. As a result I have chosen 
125 Novelties of My Best Dahlias 
I have prepared a special list of 
these varieties and will be glad to 
mail it to all who are interested in 
utilizing my tests for their own 
gardens. Those readers of House 
& Garden who are acquainted with 
the products of Wyomissing Nurs¬ 
eries will be particularly interested 
in the offer 1 now make. 
My personal selection of one 
each from a dozen of the best 
varieties from this list for $2.50, 
express prepaid. 
May and June are the months for 
planting. The list above men¬ 
tioned supplements the pages of 
named Dahlias appearing in my 
large catalogue of Hardy Plant 
Specialties which I will be glad to 
mail on request.

F OR a delightful garden, or summer home, Red 
Cedar rustic work adds the touch that gives 
charm and beauty. Just the addition of a Sum¬ 
mer House with a swing, settees and chairs will 
make the lawn a refreshing place for warm sum¬ 
mer days where one may read, entertain, or 
spend an afternoon sewing. 
Strong and substantial, it needs no care; to keep 
it clean-just turn the hose on it. Made from 
sturdy young cedars; neither weather nor time 
materially affect it, and it always has the rustic 
beauty of the natural tree.

Friendship of birds 
is well worth culti¬ 
vating, for they 
have a keen appe¬ 
tite for the many 
pests of the garden

moths, grasshop¬ 
pers, beetles, cater- 
pillars, spiders, 
flies and other in¬ 
sects.
