Hardy Garden Plants 
D O you want some of the really old-timey-flower plants 
such as were the joy of our grandmothers? Plants 
having good husky roots and with a first season’s 
bloom promise? Then we have what you want. Every one 
of the ones we will sell you have stood the supreme test of 
this rugged New England climate of ours. There’s not the 
least doubt about their being hardy. 
While you are ordering these plants why not include a few 
flowering shrubs and a tree or two. 
By spending a moderate amount each year, it is surprising 
how charming your grounds can be made and how your 
pocket book never feels the tug. 
Send for our catalog and booklet and lets get this common 
sense buying plalr started — you and I.

Protection for Lawns and Gardens 
A strong, lasting and attractive 
Anchor Post Fence 
woidd secure your garden from invasion. 
Anchor Post Fences are not the ordinary kind — they are 
fences of heavy galvanized netting erected on # 
Anchor Posts—posts which won’t sag or get out 
of line, and are galvanized both above and below 
ground to prevent rust. Anchor Posts erected over 
twenty years ago are still in good condition. 
In addition to fences and iron railings and 
gates of every kind we make tennis court, 
chicken-run and kennel-yard enclosures.

Farr’s Hardy Phloxes 
Phloxes are, next to the Peonies and Irises, the most beautiful hardy plants 
we have. Planted in large masses for bold color effects in landscaping they 
have no equal at their season of bloom, which is in mid-summer and autumn. 
No flower has been more wonderfully improved of late years and the immense 
sire and perfect form of the new varieties will be a revelation to those who have 
heretofore seen only the old-fashioned kinds. 
Their wide range of intensely brilliant colors includes almost every shade 
from purest white to delicate flesh; soft pink to deep blood-red, crimson, 
purple and amaranth. There are large, white, star-shaped centers, surround 
ed by rings of strong color, and flowers of soft delicate shades, with vivid 
scarlet or crimson eye, and petals with rays of color in various shades. 
Here at Wyomissing, where I grow acres of them, they may be seen in 
hundreds of varieties, including the latest novelties of the European hybrid¬ 
ists. All are included in my book "Farr's Hardy Plant Specialties” (Fourth 
edition season of 1913-14), which will be sent free on request.
