Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
for Early Spring Planting 
Year after year the hardy garden grows more 
charming and valuable as the plants increase 
in size and blooming power. Early spring is 
a desirable time for selecting and planting 
most perennials and shrubs. 
In my comprehensive collection at Wyomis- 
sing may be found plants suitable for every 
phase of gardening—rock plants, and those 
for shady places; water plants; plants for 
the perennial and shrub border; individual 
specimens of rare varieties. A few of these 
are here noted—to list them all would be 
impossible: 
Irises. An unusual and distinctive collection, including 
many novelties of my own raising. (Awarded the Panama - 
Pacific Gold Medal.) 
Peonies. The most complete collection of herbaceous 
and tree Peonies in the world. 
Delphiniums; Phloxes; Chrysanthemums; Troljius; 
Long Spurred Aquilegia; Hardy Asters; New Astilbe; 
Roses; Dahlias. 
New Japanese and Asiatic Shrubs. New cotoneasters, 
enkianthus, berberis, flowering cherries, corylopsis, etc. 
Lilacs, Philadelphus, and Deutzias. A complete collec¬ 
tion of Lemoine's new creation. 
Dwarf Evergreens. Rare specimens for formal gardens, 
lawn groups and rock garden plantings. 
A complete list of my collection of Hardy 
Plants and Shrubs will be found in 
Farr’s Hardy Plant Specialties 
(Sixth Edition) 112 pages of text, 30 full page 
illustrations (13 in color). Most well-informed 
gardeners have a copy, but if you have not 
received it, or it has been mislaid, a duplicate 
will be sent promptly on request.

Planning the Garden. So many have asked me to help them plan 
their gardens that I have found it necessary to form a special de¬ 
partment in charge of a skilled landscape designer and planteman. 
I will be glad to assist you in any way desired by otY-hand sug¬ 
gestions or by the preparation of detailed plans for which a 
charge will he made.

is a direct appeal for 
more food—without 
food, what good are 
men and ships ? 
NUT TREES FOR 
HOME GARDEN 
English Walnut, Black 
Walnut, Butternut, 
Filbert, Hickory and 
Chestnut are more 
nourishing than meat, 
wheat, flour or potatoes. 
They are raised, grow¬ 
ing and bearing abund¬ 
antly in the vicinity of 
Rochester where the 
temperature range is 
from 100° in summer 
to 15° below zero in 
winter. 
FRUITS and BERRIES are VICTORY CROPS 
Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Cherries, Grapes, Raspberries, 
Blackberries, Strawberries, etc., hold out attractive possibilities to 
land owners. A few fruit trees in the home garden can be so 
chosen as to supply a family with fresh fruit for a long season. 
OUR DEPENDABLE TREES and PLANTS are 
GUARANTEED to GROW 
Knowing what to plant contributes largely to success. The 1918 
“Ma^alog” (our illustrated catalogue in magazine form) solves the 
problem. Sent free pn request.

The MONROE 
Has Reduced 
My Ice Bills k 
"I didn’t realize how much ice and food my refrig¬ 
erator was wasting until I bought a Monroe and noticed 
the big decrease in my bills. When I recollect how long 
it used to take to clean my old refrigerator, and what a 
simple thing it is to keep the Monroe spotless, I wonder 
how I ever kept house without it.” 
Such is the testimony of thousands of particular housewives 
who delight in the great convenience, economy and advantages 
of the Monroe.
