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 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 ij4 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. 



Price: Unless otherwise noted, 25 cts. each, 12 for $2.50, postpaid (remember that our 

 postpaid prices include delivery charges for which many other firms charge extra), or $18 per 

 100 . 25 or more at hundred rate.
