HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



or OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN FLOWERS 



One of the Chief Delights that comes from owning a garden is in having 

 flowers enough to give one's friends, as well as for house and table decor- 

 ation. 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. They require almost no care at all, are perfectly hardy, and. last 

 for years, which makes the first cost about the only expense. Thus as a 

 class, they combine beauty, utility, and economy in a rare degree. 



DIRECTIONS : 



We send you most of these in roots. Plant in 

 the early Spring or Fall, allowing from 1£ to 4 

 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; it should be reasonably rich and spaded to a depth of 

 2 feet, to allow of good root growth. Keep down the weeds, and if you 

 find any plants inclined to sprawl, put in a stake for support. After the 

 first severe frost in the Fall, cut down the tops to within 3 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.
