AUTUMN, 1923 • PLANT HARDY PERENNIALS NOW 



Hardy Perennials 



OLD-FASHIONED 

 GARDEN FLOWERS 



FIRST COST THE ONLY COST— Til E\' WILL MOSTLY BLOOM YEAR AFTER YEAR 



Aiitiiniu 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. 



A comparatively small collection en- 

 ables you to have flowers in bloom all 

 summer. Useful as cut-flowers. 



The first figure after a variety indi- 

 cates height of growth. The next 

 figures indicate the months the flowers 

 bloom in this locality. Allow some 

 variation, 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; thus protect plants 

 and enrich ground; dig manure under 

 in spring before new growth starts. 



Prices: Unless otherwise noted, 35 cts. 

 each, 10 lor $2.90, postpaid (remember that 

 our postpaid prices include delivery charges for 

 which many other firms charge extra), or $25 

 per 100 D. 25 or more at 100 rate □
