HUSKY HARDY PLANTS 
We are delighted to offer heavy clumps of perennial plants 
dug with generous amounts of good black soil from the 
famous GLASTONBURY GARDENS. The combination of 
rich Glastonbury soil and Mrs. Champlin’s skill as a grower 
produces quality plants that cannot be equalled. 
Contrary to popular opinion, most perennials may be 
moved (when dug as these are) at ANY season. We stock 
these plants as they come into bloom. Hence, you may 
know exactly what you are buying. With careful planting 
and copious watering, there will be no setback. 
Visit us throughout the season to see these plants in their 
fine rich colors from our initial display of huge velvet pan-

poppies, and showy 
phiox; to. "the ‘rich 
‘autumn colors of the 
chrysanthemums which 
close the flowering sea-
