WILD FLOWER GARDEN FOR 
SHADE 
.Perhaps you have a shaded spot some¬ 
where around your house or grounds, but 
do not know just what to order or plant. 
1 have made this selection of varieties that 
are not difficult to grow and are not par¬ 
ticular as to soil acidity. All they ask is a 
loose fertile soil with plenty of leaf mold or 
peat moss mixed in.* We have found that 
in naturally stiff soils a generous amount 
of coarse sand, up to one-third, helps a 
great deal. Of course shade is required 
and sufficient moisture at all times. 
For $7.50 I will send you, delivery char¬ 
ges paid. 75 plants as follows, or one each 
of the 21 varieties for $2.50.

No special plan for planting is required; 
the plants may be set in groups or the 
varieties scattered as you prefer. Some 
care should be used to give the larger 
growing kinds more room, where they will 
not hide or overshadow the.smaller varie¬ 
ties. 
Trees and Shrubs 
For Ornamental Planting and Wild 
Life Refuge 
For those who wish to continue an all 
native planting to accompany wild flowers 
and ferns, or who would like to plant trees 
and shrubs that are both ornamental and 
provide food for wild birds w^e are grow¬ 
ing an increasing variety of suitable trees 
and shrubs. 
To keep birds around your grounds it is 
necessary to provide a certain continuity 
to the supply of food, and this means a 
variety of food plants. Some shrubs or trees 
provide food which the birds enjoy greatly 
and these are quickly consumed. Others, 
perhaps of more value, are not greatly rel¬ 
ished but act as a reserve supply to fall 
back on when better liked foods are scarce. 
Quantity prices quoted on request. We are 
equipped to supply you with expert con¬ 
sulting and planting service for wild life 
planting, also landscape planning and ser¬ 
vice.
