Hardy Perennial Plants, or 
OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN FLOWERS 
NE 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 almost the only expense. Thus as a class, they 
combine beauty, utility, and economy in a rare degree. 
Prices Unless Otherwise Noted - 15 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts., or 12 for $1.10, post- 
paid, 25 for $2.00, and $7.50 per 100, by express. 
DIRECTIONS « Wesend you most of these in roots. Plant in the early Spring or Fall, allow-: 
ing 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 vege- 
tables; 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.
