USE MIRACLE GROW FOR WATERING YOUR PLANTS 
3 
Evergreens set by the writer's father, in our original 
Nursery Park, 73 years ago this spring. 
Our aim is to grow great quantities of the best Hardy Perennial and 
Rock Garden Plants, so that we can offer young vigorous seasoned plants 
to our friends at prices that will show them a big saving and so help to 
make our Slogan, “More Flowers for Every Home” a reality. 
If you happen to be passing near Osage, I extend a cprdial invitation, 
to call and go through our Nurseries. 
Cordially yours,

Hardy Perennial and Rock Garden Plants 
The demand for Hardy Perennials is growing rapidly, as 
more and more Home Builders find how easily they are 
grown. These hardy plants once 
set in your garden will grow and 
blossom for many years. They 
live outdoors and only require a 
light mulch for winter protec¬ 
tion in the coldest parts of the 
United States. They fit in with 
all kinds of landscape plant and 
add color and beauty to any 
home place, all out of proportion 
to their small cost. A few dollars 
invested in perennials will go 
farther and give more pleasure 
and enjoyment than double the 
amount in any other kind of 
planting. If you are already 
growing perennials you know of 
the pleasure and satisfaction 
they give and how each plant 
gets to be an old friend as you 
watch their development, year 
after year, with the most absorb¬ 
ing interest. You are always 
alert and anxious to secure other 
varieties to add to your collec¬ 
tion and so make new friends, 
that will give you a larger variety 
of flowers and cover a longer 
period of blooming. The more 
you have the greater is your 
enjoyment. 
If you are not a Perennial fan, 
I urge you to start a few plants 
this season. By selecting some of 
the most popular varieties like . . i, 
Oriental Poppies, Sweet William, Canterbury Bells, Delpuiniums, Ho y- 
hocks, Hardy Lilies, Shasta Daisy, Linum, etc., you cannot help but e 
successful and you r .re sure to be greatly pleased as the plants develop an 
grow great loads of beautiful flowers from year to year, with but it e 
care and attention.

ROCK GARDENS AND 
LILY POOLS 
The planning and making 
of a Rock Garden is the most 
fascinating of all garden activ¬ 
ities. One reason for this is that 
the Rock Garden does not have 
to be made or planted at any certain 
time of the year, nor does it have to

one of our driveways.
