Hardy I^rennials 



The Gonarp &Jones Co. 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



OR OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN FLOWERS 



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 figures after a variety indicate 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 ij^ to 4 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.
