"As ye sow — So shall ye reap!" 
Are you a common dirt gardener = or do you like to "pick the flower" that someone 
else has grown? I do not believe there is anything more satisfying than to see the fruits 
of one's efforts. Imagine a world without flowers = trees = shrubs — how drab it would be! 
Do your part by making your own home grounds more beautiful. Try growing small plants = 
it will not only be a heap of fun, but the cost will be so insignificant that you will be 
doubly repaid. 
The plants we have to offer are too small now for landscaping, but by placing 
them in a nursery bed and carefully nurturing them — you will be surprised at the lovely 
showing they will make in 2 or 3 years. The specimens of Azaleas, Pieris Japonica, flower- 
ing trees, yews and shrubs many of our customers have acquired in a few years are amaz-=- 
ing. These plants would be quite expensive if purchased as large specimens but with a 
little patience and time you too can produce specimens from these baby plants we have to 
offer. 
Thess plants are vividly described in Hotte's Book on Shrubs and Book on Trees at 
$4.00 postpaid. We can supply both. Make good Christmas and birthday presents. All plants 
should be grown in a bed for one or more,ygars before planting in permanent place. 
For $5.00 you can select $6.00 worth of piants- from this list... Prices in- 
eluds packing and postal charges. As we sell our plants at such low prices no 8 
for less than $2.00 will be aecepted. No broken lots will be sold. Where order calls 
or or 50 ots., one will not be solid for 10 ets. 5 must be ordered. 2 sold at 100 rate.

Owing to our careful packing with wet peat measg the eost of Express and 
Parcel Post to points beyond Rocky Mountains, eliminate the profits. Therefore, please 
add 10% to remittances from these places. 
The group containing Azaleas are very sasy to handle if planted in part shade, 
provided either by a building or a lath sereen; this should be elevated 4’ to 5° on stakes 
to provide free circulation of air underneath, Plant in a soil mixture containing 50% good 
light garden loam and 50% granulated peat moss or oak leaf mould. Water well after planting 
and mulch with leaf mould or peat moss. Do not cultivate but pick weeds out by pulling. Do 
not allow ground to get dry, but do not water too much or too often, there is a happy medium. 
These plants will all do well in part shade and also in sun. Cut off 75% of light for 
first 6 weeks and then 50%. 
AZALEAS AND OTHER ACID LOVING PLANTS: 
"Chinese" E. H. Wilson said, speaking of Azaleas, "They are not surpassed in 
wealth of blossom by any class of hardy shrubs. The flowers vary enormously in size in 
the different species and embrace all shades of every color except blue. In many the 
flowers are delightfully fragrant, —— small wonder the desire to possess them is so gen- 
eral. No class of shrubs possess greater attractions, and given certain essential con- 
ditions and provided the varieties are perfectly hardy their culture is fairly simple." 
A Philadelphia collection of Asaleas and Khododendrons is visited each year 
by thousands of people who marvel at the brilliant, wivid colors and profusion of bleom, 
which is almost unbelievable, and yet for a few dollars and a bit of patience a more 
extensive range of colors and varieties is available from this list.
