PERENNIALS 



Perennials are those faithful garden plants that 

 live on year after year. Although the tops die 

 down in the winter, they grow and flower again 

 the following season. Most perennials are hardy, 

 and if given reasonable attention they will live 

 for a number of years. They are easy to plant, 

 easy to maintain, easy to find a place for in any 

 garden. By choosing kinds that bloom at different 

 times during the season, it is possible to have handsome 

 color for weeks, not only for the garden but for cutting too. 

 The perennials we offer here are carefully selected to add to 

 your gardening pleasure. Notice the three Offers in particular 

 . . . each one a bargairi that will make a beautiful display for 

 many weeks, many years.

 succession of bloom.
