 GARDEN FLOWERS 



FIRST COST THE ONLY COST— ONCE PLANTED THEY ARE THERE TO STAY 



Autumn is the best time in the year for planting some Hardy Perennials. They get well established 

 during the winter and are ready to start growth with the first sign of spring. 



They are 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. Useful 

 as cut-flowers. 



The first figure after a variety indicates 

 height of growth. The next figures indicate 

 the months the flowers bloom in this locality. 

 Some variation must be allowed according to 

 latitude. 



Directions. — We send you most of these in 

 strong roots. Allow from i to 3 square feet 

 of space for each. 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, which will protect the 

 plants and enrich the ground; dig this under 

 in the spring before new growth starts. 



Prices: Unless otherwise noted, 25 cts. each, 

 12 for $2.50, postpaid (remember that our post- 

 paid prices include delivery charges for which 

 many other firms charge extra), or $12 per 

 100 D. 25 or more at this rate.
