HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Or OLD-FASHIONED 



GARDEN FLOWERS 



One of the Chi" Delights that comes from 

 owning a garden is in having flowers enough 

 to give one's friends, as well as for house 

 and table decoration. The beauty, variety 

 and lasting qualities of Hardy Perennials 

 make them especially useful as cut flowers. 

 They are also equally valuable for adding 

 brightness and color to the border beds and 

 a comparatively small collection will enable 

 you to have some flowers in bloom all 

 Summer through. 



DIRECTIONS 



We send you most of these in roots. 

 Plant in the early Spring or Fall, allowing 

 from one and a half to four square feet of 

 space for each (depending upon the size and 

 character of the plant), unless otherwise 

 noted. They will do well in any soil that 

 will grow garden vegetables. Keep down 

 the weeds, and if you find any plants in- 

 clined to sprawl, put in a stake for support. 

 After the first severe frost in the Fall, cut 

 down the tops to within three inches of the 

 ground, and give the bed a good coat of half 

 rotted manure (this will both protect the 

 plants and enrich the ground) : dig this under 

 in the Spring, before new growth starts.
