ORDER NOW—DON’T WAIT 
Unlike other things you buy, nursery 
stock must be ordered in advance— 
long before the right shipping time. 
Why? Because our whole year’s ship- 
ments come in a few months’ time 
and there is never enough help. Ship- 
ments are scheduled long in advance. 
Order now, we will ship at proper time 
later.

IS IT HARDY 
IN YOUR GARDEN? 
There is a northern 
limit for every plant, 
beyond which it cannot 
live. For practical use 
the map at the left 
divides the country into 
Zones. Each plant de- 
scription in this Guide 
has a related Zone 
limit. Look up your gar- 
den on the map and you 
can select hardy mate- 
rial.
