Stern’s ‘‘SELECT-O-PLANT” Zone Map 
How To Choose Plants Hardy In Your Section 
This Zone Map has been especially prepared to indi- 
cate whether plants are hardy in your section. “Hardy” 
means that a plant will endure the cold as far North as 
the zone indicated, For example: the statement, hardy 
in Zone AAA, means that the plant is hardy in this 
zone and in. all zones South of Zone AAA. 
This Zone Map is based upon years of research by 
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., 
and especially adapted by Stern’‘s to insure “trouble- 
free’ gardening. 
HOW TO ORDER 
Please write your order on the enclosed order blank. Send 
check or money order with your order. You will save C.O.D. 
charges by sending your full remittance with your order. 
We prepay postage or express for any plant, group, or 
collection marked Postpaid or Prepaid. For other items, if 
you want us to prepay postage, please add 10% to price. 
Slight Extra Care Means Unusual Plants 
Given the proper care many plants generally grown 
in milder climates can be grown in more northern sec- 
tions. Even those not specifically recommended for 
your zone offer new ‘garden thrills” if given only a 
little extra care. 
Planting in a sheltered location, mulching in the 
Summer to conserve moisture, protecting during the 
winter will enable you to grow the rare and unusual 
types of plants not commonly found in your zone. 
FALL PLANTING 
FALL IS THE IDEAL TIME TO PLANT BULBS, TREES, 
SHRUBS AND ROSES. We list in this catalog only such 
kinds which are suitable for fall planting. They will make 
new roots in the late fall and early spring and, as a result, 
they will grow and bloom next spring almost like plants 
established for many years. 
JUST RELEASED BY HOLLAND’S LEADING TULIP BREEDERS 
TOO LATE TO LIST IN THE BULB PAGES 
BUT SO OUTSTANDING WE HAD TO FIND A PLACE FOR THEM 
PARROT WONDER 
The largest Parrot Tulip ever produced! The flower is really 
spectacular and staggering in both size and beauty, meas- 
uring up to 9” across when fully opened. The color is a 
bright, fiery red with an occasional touch of green in the 
petals. It is indeed a “wonder,” for no other tulip under 
cultivation can compare with it. We predict a great future 
for this variety and that in time it will replace all other 
red Parrot varieties. Order Early. Our Supply is Necessarily 
Limited. 
Postpaid: ......... 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.75; 10 for $A.00 
( 46 ) 
PARROT 
DOUBLE FANTASY 
The fantastic beauty of this variety defies description! 
Warm, satin rose shades are delicately intermixed and 
blend beautifully with silvery-white flushes and splashes of 
green. The enormous flowerhead is fully double with an 
abundance of crisp, wavy petals which are whimsically 
carved and fringed. An oddity among tulips which is de- 
serving of a very special place in the garden. Order Early. 
Our Supply Is Necessarily Limited.
