SCEONY FIELDS 
ith Hardy Blowers 
Much of the charm 
of the hardy garden 
lies in the pleasing 
changes constantly 
taking place. Each 
day during the grow- 
ing season brings 
something to interest 
and delight. Before 
the snow is gone 
Snowdrops and Cro- 
cus announce the 
coming of spring. 
How eagerly we 
watch for the violets 
and bleeding heart, 
followed by a host of 
flowers—peonies, iris- 
es , sweet williams 
and early daisies. 
Then the summer 
flowers—late daisies, 
phlox, blanket flower, 
lilies, etc. There need 
not be a dull day un- 
til chrysanthemums 
bid farewell to au- 
tumn.
