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 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. They require 
almost no care at all, are perfectly hardy, 
and last for years, which makes the first cost 
bes See about the only expense. Thus as a class, 
A Hardy Perennial bordcr like this 1s a satisfaction at all times they combine beauty, BuIney; and eee 
of the year; blooms freely year after year with little care. in a rare degree. 
DIRECTIONS: We send you most of these in roots. Plant inthe early Spring or Fall, allowing from 1% to 4 square 
a ~ * 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 ina stake for sup- 
port. After the first severe frost in the Fall, cut down the tops to within 5 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.
