“Just Fine and Mighty Worth While,” described the plants 
on this page most aptly. They are all things you will like and 
find mighty useful in your garden.” 

*ACHILLEIA Tomentosa., 6 inches. Here is one plant I simply 
cannot be without in my garden and visitors all like it too, 
but seem never able to put it across in words. The emerald

the brighest spot in a garden. June-July. Very drouth 
resistant. Each 30 cts.; 3 for 75 cts.
