TEXAS WILDFLOWERS. Mixed colors 
and an endless 
variety of types! Plant in the early spring for a 
summer full of surprises. Ideal for rustic effects and 
sowing in areas where other flowers needing special 
culture will fail. 
SWEET PEAS. CUTHBERTSON. America’s 
Sweetpea sensations in 1948 
are still going . . . and stronger than ever! Here’s a 
flower that has definitely found a place in the hearts 
of Texas gardeners not only because its colors are un- 
believably lovely but because the blooms keep on 
coming long after the hot weather has set in. The 
plants are strong and vigorous, bearing a profusion of 
large, fragrant blooms which make excellent cut 
flowers. If you didn’t plant this one last year you 
really missed out on something you should really enjoy 
this year!

It’s because we've tried to hold it down to 
sensible limits. Other catalogs may have 
longer listings but none of them have tried 
to narrow their assortment down to varieties 
that are sure to do well in this area. This 
book is the conscientious result of years spent 
culling out all varieties whose ultimate grow- 
ing success in this territory is either impossible 
or questionable. Remember that we are 
friends and neighbors of yours, living, work- 
ing and gardening right here in your own 
backyard, so to speak, and anything that 
benefits you is for our mutual good. 

“GUESS A LITTLE GARDENING 
WILL DO MORE GOOD” 
That's right, this gentleman who 
has developed a slightly larger 
waistline than’s good for him 
should throw away his barbells. 
A bit cf gardening every other 
day in his backyard will slim him 
down just as well . . . with less 
work . . . and more fun.
