BULBS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH 
After a great deal of experiment we have solved'the labelling 
problem in our nursery with Serpent labels. They are narrow strips 
of soft lead deeply incised with the letters of the botanical name. 
Lead is the most indestructible of all metals, and it weathers to a 
dull grey that is unobtrusive in any garden but perfectly legible for 
literally centuries. As an accommodation to our customers we are 
prepared to offer these labels made to order with any name incised 
(up to 24 letters) at the rate of 7 cents each. Correct spelling ot 
botanical names is, of course, guaranteed. 
Occasionally we have available a few pedigreed Dachshund 
puppies from excellent parents. Both sire and dam are registered 
and papers will be provided with each puppy. If interested in this 
waggish and affectionate breed let us know and we shall be glad 
to send further details.
