M,ore Popular hardy perennial plants 
The beauty of the perennial border depends on using a wide variety of 
plants to insure flowers from earliest spring until late fall in a sufficiently 
large color range to give an interesting change from month to month. 
The varieties we offer have proved to fill this need, and the way they are 
presented makes it easy for any gardener to plan the perennial border for 
a continuity of flowers from spring to frost with any color predominating.
