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 

 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 j'-ou 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 under in spring 

 before new growth starts.

 each, 12 lor $3, postpaid iremember that our 

 postpaid prices include delivery charges for
