Hardy Perennials 



OLD-FASHIONED 

 GARDEN FLOWERS 



Digitalis (Foxglove) 



Autumn is a good time to plant 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 enables you to have flowers in bloom 

 all summer. 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. 

 Allow some variation, according to 

 latitude. 



Directions. — We send you most 

 of these in strong roots. Allow 

 from 2 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 for $2.90, 

 postpaid (remember that our 

 postpaid prices include delivery 

 charges for which many other 

 firms charge extra), or $25 per 100
