SIBERIANS --- FOR POOLSIDE OR GARDEN 
jest culture. Since they bloom so heavily they are unsurpassed for color — 
ead coat antans in your mixed border; particularly effective near pools and lawns. . 
The first price given under each variety is for the customary single division. I can also 
supply clumps, equal to 3 or 4 divisions, but in most cases at the cost of only 2. People 
realize clumps are easier to establish, give abundant bloom sooner, so most of the orders 
I fill are for clumps. Many of these originated in Canada; all are perfectly hardy. Wide 
choice offered this year. :

AHALYA (Nesmith '32) * * $3.00; Clump $6.00

ones good enough to get my 3-star rating. EM—48”. te
