NOW — Zave all-sumimer color tu the shade! 
Barnes Tuberous Begonias are rare gems 
providing Summer long color in that difficult 
shaded spot. Giant flowers 4 to 6 inches across 
in a gorgeous array of colors are borne in an un- 
ceasing display of loveliness above some of the 
handsomest foliage you'll have in your Summer 
garden. While they may be started directly in 
the garden after danger of frost is past, we rec- 
ommend that you start them in the house, if 
possible, to give you the longest period of bloom. 
Complete growing directions are furnished with 
each purchase—telling you how to start them, 
the Summer care and how to store them for a 
continuing May to frost display in the years 
ahead. 
FANCY-FLOWERED KINDS 
Single Frilled. Single, frilled, giant sized flow- 
ers with the color richly accented by the 
bright yellow center. Your choice of pink, 
orange, red, yellow, white and mixed. 
Picotee. Crisp, light pastel background colors 
on each petal are bordered with a rich deep 
harmonizing color. Sold in mixed colors only— 
every one a gem. 
Carnation Flowered. Fully double flowers 
with notched edges, for all the world like a 
great Carnation. Your choice of salmon, pink, 
white, red, yellow or orange. 
The above varieties: 
5 for $2.00, 10 for $4.00, 25 for $9.00

plete range. 10 for $2.25.

JUNIOR ARISTOCRATS 
Many of our best varieties of plants are slow 
growing and larger sizes are prohibitively high 
priced for mass plantings or for use as hedges. 
Several of these are offered here in ““Budget”’ 
sizes to supply this need. If you want some of 
these little plants with a big future, we advise 
early ordering.

plants with flower buds. About 12 in. tall. 
$2.95 each.

to flower. Orchid colored flowers. Trans-

familiar pink and white-flowered evergreen. 
8-10 in. transplants, $1.25 each, 10 for $10.00.

Perhaps the most decorative foliage of any 
broadleaf evergreen is found on this plant.

each, $10.00 for 10. 
UPRIGHT YEW (Hicks). Wonderful for ever- 
green hedging; to edge a patio or use in the 
foundation planting. 10—12 in. tall, $1.50 each, 
$12.50 for 10. 
SPREADING YEW. Has the same uses as the 
above variety but grows more horizontally. A

plants not listed in the catalog, a complete 
range of fertilizers, soil conditioners, lawn care 
products, and, as usual, competent, trained per-

March) will be announced together with the 
hours in the garden sections of Connecticut 
newspapers.
