WILD FLOWER GARDEN 
FOR SHADE 
Perhaps you have a shaded spot some¬ 
where around your house or grounds, but 
do not know what to order or plant. I 
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. 
This selection of plants requires moder¬ 
ate shade and some moisture all through 
the growing season. 
Sqrne of these spring wild flowers keep 
their foliage all season while others lose 
their leaves soon after flowering so I have 
ineluded a few ferns to be sure there is a 
good cover all season. The special offer 
of plants consists of: 
3 large Yellow Lady Slippers, 5 Mer- 
tensias, 5 Trillium Grandiflorum, 5 Woods 
Phlox, 3 Bloodroot, 5 Sharp-lobed Hepaica, 
3 Maiden Hair Fern, 4 Evergreen Wood 
Fern, 5 Blue Violet, 3 White Baneberry, 3 
Red Baneberry, 3 Jacobs Ladder, 3 Yellow 
Violet. 
Fifty plants as above, delivered 
charges paid for only $5.95. 
Native Trees and Shrubs 
Our stock of native trees and shrubs in small sizes affords the opportunity to make 
use of these valuable plants at low cost. Plantings will attract birds as many of these 
plants provide essential food. For summer homes and country estates no more satis¬ 
factory planting materials can be found.

refuge and park developments.
