HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Or Old- Fashioned Garden Flowers 



Valuable for adding brightness and color to the border beds, and a comparatively small collec- 

 tion will enable you to have some 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. Some variation must be allowed according to latitude. 



Directions. We send you most of these in strong roots. Allow from i yi to 4 square feet of 

 space for each. After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to about 3 inches high, 

 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.
