Grandmother’s Old-Fashioned Garden of Beautiful Annual Flowers 
I want everybody in America to have a Great Big Flower Garden this year with continuous blooms 
all summer long that will add cheer and comfort to you and your neighbors. I have made up a com¬ 
plete Flower Garden of the leading annual blooming flowers, comprising proportionate mixture of 
Asters, Calendulas, Ageratum, Alyssum, Balsam, Candytuft, Daisies, Gaillardias, Gypsophila Lan- 
tana, Marigold, Scarlet Gleam Nasturtiums, Pansies, Poppies, Petunias, Phlox, Snapdragons Salvia 
Verbenas, Zinnias. This is an even balanced mixture of all the above annuals and many others, i 
will send you enough seed to plant a big bed in your back yard or along your road side, giving yoii a 
gorgeous display all summer long. Complete planting instructions 
free with evepy order. This seed is really worth $1.00 a packet but I 
am offering it this year as a special inducement to my many thou¬ 
sands of customers who have really been without flowers during the 
depression years and I know you will appreciate this, my most ex¬ 
ceptional offer and be well pleased with it.

OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN 
One summer day I chanced to stray 
To a garden of flow’rs blooming wild, 
It took me once more to the dear days 
of yore 
And a spot that I loved as a child; 
There were the phlox, tall hollyhocks, 
Violets perfuming the air. 
Frail eglantines, shy columbines 
And marigolds everywhere. 
By Cote Porter 
It was an old fashioned garden 
Just an old fashioned garden 
But it carried me back to that dear little 
shack 
In the land of long ago. 
I saw an old fashioned Missus 
Getting old fashioned kisses 
In that old fashioned garden 
From an old fashioned beau.
