THE YEAR-ROUND CATALOG 
Here is a catalog for every week in the year, not just for 
the spring, for there is no time when it is not the right time 
to sow some kinds of seeds. Key letters tell when. Then 
there are bulbs for both spring and fall planting, and hardy 
perennial plants can be put out at either season, some of 
them, as Irises and Hardy Poppies, even during summer heat. 
Of course greenhouse plants for the window garden, and their 
seeds, are always available year-through, and so are the many 
good books on gardening that we offer. This catalog can be 
an ever-ready source of garden help. Save it. 
THE FORMOLONGO LILY

iflorum var. insulare. The flowers are pure white within and 
without, extra wide

seven inches long. It is 
an exceptionally vigorous 
strain, disease resistant, 
hardy well north and in 
cold and difficult climates.

comes close to ever-bloom-
