The Height of 
Dahlia Splendor 
The wonderful new 
Decorative Dahlia, 
Patrick O’Mara, is 
now offered for the 
first time. 
The flowers are a 
rare and beautiful 
autumn shade of 
orange-buff, slightly 
tinged with Neyron 
rose, 8 inches or more 
in diameter, on strong 
stems that support the 
flowers well above the 
plants. 
At the trial grounds 
of the American 
Dahlia Society, at the 
Connecticut State 
Agricultural College, 
1920, Dahlia Patrick 
O’Mara received the 
highest score, in com¬ 
petition with the 
world’s best dahlias. 
This was under ordi¬ 
nary field culture. All 
flower lovers can easily 
equal or exceed this re¬ 
sult in their own gar¬ 
den.

A Catalogue 
That’s Worth 
One Dollar 
N OT often is this true of a catalogue, but it 
describes with fidelity Farr’s Hardy Plant 
Specialties, seventh edition. To people who 
care for flowers, and like to know something about 
their families and types, this book will be found 
more valuable than most text books. 
It lists and classifies almost six hundred Peonies 
(the largest collection in America), giving size, 
color, type and degree of fragrance. It describes 
hundreds of Irises, perennials, flowering shrubs, 
shade trees and vines. 
For example, it lists ninety varieties of Lilacs, [ 
thirty-eight varieties of Deutzias, and presents I 
other shrubs in extensive assortments. Fourteen 
full page color plates and many black and white 
reproductions of gardens and specimen blooms 
make it a valuable source of reference. 
Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
Will be sent postpaid for $1 
With each copy we mail a certificate good for | 
one dollar on the first purchase of ten dollars. 
The book is really worth a dollar without re¬ 
bate; some people consider it far more valuable. 
A copy will be sent promptly upon receipt of 
remittance.

An Attractive Window for Boudoir or 
Morning Room 
An Artistic Window 
is the Making of a Room 
T HE windows are the “soul” 
of a room. How a tastefully I 
draped window or an artistic 
window shade brightens the 
room! Then there is the ques¬ 
tion of wall paper and the dozens 
of dainty and exquisite touches, 
by which the woman who knows 
how, makes the room express her 
own individuality—become a very 
part of her. 
The Nature Studio puts at 
your disposal the experience of 
skilled decorators, so that with 
little effort and moderate expense, 
you may make your house truly 
a home. 
Beautiful hand painted window

bric, as shown in the illustration, are 
furnished in various styles to harmon¬ 
ize perfectly with any type of wall 
paper, flowered, plain or striped.
