| 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 you a 
gorgeous display allsummer 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- 
_ceptional offer and be well pleased with it.

OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN 




By Cole Porter 


















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