HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Adam's Needle (Yucca) 



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. 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 variations must be allowed according to 

 latitude. 



Directions. We send you most of these in strong roots. Allow from i^ 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.
