t-tohe Qraceful ^Bleeding CReart 
Surely no other spring blooming hardy garden perennial can excel the Old-Fashioned Bleeding 
Heart for pure grace and beauty when in full bloom! The combination 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 flowering 
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-old 
clumps we send out a brilliant 
mass of bloom appears in only a 
few weeks after planting; one en¬ 
thusiastic lady writes "Your 
Bleeding Hearts are the pride of 
my garden now; I am delighted.”
