OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN 
It was an old fashioned garden 
Just an 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

Getting old fashioned kisses 
In that old fashioned garden 
From an old fashioned beau.

Granimother’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, 
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 you a 
gorgeous display all summer long. Complete planting instructions 
free with every 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-
