T)he Qraceful ^Bleeding TKearP— 
"Winter wiak.es water solid, yet the spring, 
That is but flowers, is a stronger thing.” 
—Masefield. 
Surely no other spring 
blooming hardy garden per¬ 
ennial can excel the Old- 
Fashioned Bleeding Heart for 
pure grace and beauty when 
in full bloom! The combin¬ 
ation of lovely, deep-toothed 
foliage, which lasts all season, 
and the long, arching sprays 
of bloom with their profusion 
of brilliantly pink "bleeding 
hearts,” hanging like jewels 
from wiry stems, is something 
attainable in no other flower¬ 
ing plant that grows. Some 
garden folk have difficulty 
growing this plant, but given 
a position of full or semi¬ 
shade success is insured if the 
old, well-established clumps 
are planted and not the small, 
pot-grown plants so often 
sold; and the plants should 
be left undisturbed for years 
when once established. Many , 
of our customers have written us expressing surprise that from the large 3-year o c umps we sen 
out a brilliant mass of bloom appears in only a few weeks after planting; one enthusiastic lady writes 
"Your Bleeding Hearts are the pride of my garden now; I am delighted.” Here is our offer: 
Large 3-year undivided clumps of Bleeding Heart, $1 value, for quick effect and perman¬ 
ent planting; prepaid within California, (add sales tax); to other more distant 
points add 5c per plant; 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.85; 12 for $5.50; each 60c.
