grance. Bulbs only, each 75c; 3 for $2.00.

HOUSE PLANT SURPRISE 
Delightful amazement due you here. Seeds of more than 
one hundred distinct species of ornamentals suitable for pot 
culture have gone into this blend, many ‘of them decidedly 
unique. Better separate the fine seeds from. the coarse, since 
the latter will need deeper covering. Give them all a fair 
chance and ample time. Many will germinate quickly, but 
of course other kinds are by their nature, slow. Sold only 
in extra-size packets at 25¢ each. 
WE PLAN GARDENS 
Each garden has its own possibilities, its own problems. 
Ready-made plans so often offered persuasively as a facile 
means of attaining a garden at all times lovely, will be 
just right for your particular garden about as often as 
ready-made clothing is just right for your particular figure. 
Instead of these standardized plans that must usually be 
matched picture-puzzle fashion to fit your spaces, we offer 
an wholly individualized service. Each of our plans is built 
to one certain garden, it will do for no other. Tell us all 
about your garden, the theme or picture you are trying to 
bring out in it, the troubles you are meeting, everything that 
you think might help us in the planning, and we will draw 
you a special planting plan, tailored to the measure of your 
garden, and of your desires. The service is not free, only 
wish it could be, but charges are reasonable. Fees start 
at one dollar, and rise gradually according to the size of 
the planting, and the amount and scope of the help you 
desire. If you are interested, write us, and we shall be 
glad to tell you more about the Special Garden Planning 
Service, exactly what we offer, full scale and basis of 
charges, etc. You are under no _ slightest obligation in 
asking this further information. Please do so.
