“Old Homestead” 
PLANTS Sase 70% 
When you stop to consider that 
you can get a dozen of Richards’ 
fine field-grown, l-yr. old un- 
transplanted plants for about the 
price you ordinarily expect to pay 
for three regular field - grown 
plants, you get an idea of the tre- 
mendous saving you can make by 
buying our plants. Remember, 
these l-yr. untransplanted plants 
will bloom the first year. 
You can increase your garden 
planting with the money that you 
will save in buying l-year un- 
transplanted plants and your gar- 
den will be a greater source of 
pleasure to yourself and of ad- 
miration by your friends and 
neighbors.
