SALMAGUNDI doesn’t always mean pickles. Dic- 
tionary gives one meaning of it as ‘“‘a medley’, and 
that surely describes this particular Salmagundi. It 
is a mixture of a little, sometimes more, of about 
everything we list; annuals, rockery perennials, bor- 
der perennials. bulb seeds, wild flowers, house plants, 
succulents, Cacti, Irises, Lilies, Roses, even tree, vine 
and shrub seeds. You are likely to find almost any- 
thing in it, and probably will. The seeds are year 
old, mostly. They won’t all grow, but a whole lot 
of them will; and if you can’t get enough out of a 
sowing, considering low price, and the rarity of many 
of the kinds, to make it worth your while, we are 
afraid there is not much hope for you as a gardener. 
No guarantee, though. Salmagundi is the answer to 
where old seeds go. Not less than 4 oz. sold. % 
0z..20c; 44 oz. 35¢; 1 oz. 60c; % Ib. $2.00; 1 Ib. $7.00. | 
TREES and SHRUBS grow about as readily from seeds 
as do other plants, and it doesn’t take long to bring 
them to fair size. It offers a way in which you can get 
together a splendid collection of rare kinds at rather low 
cost and have a lot of pleasure in the doing of it. Our 
TREASURE CHEST FOLDER, sent to those who ask for 
it, lists seeds of very many shrubs and trees, as Azaleas, 
Rhododendrons, new Lilacs, Magnolias, Roses, Pines, Blue 
Spruce, Beauty Bush, Cotoneasters and the like. Be 
sure to ask for THE TREASURE CHEST, for it goes 
only to those who wish it.
