HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



OR OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN FLOWERS 



Plant a char m ing border like this with Campanulas, Digitalis, Irises, etc 



^ Perennials add brightness and color to the border beds, and a compara- 

 tively small collection will enable 3^ou to have some flowers in bloom all summer. 



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 1 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. Never put manure of any kind on top or in contact 

 with perennial clumps. If any need of protection, use coal-ashes or sand. To 

 enrich the ground dig in some well-rottea manure in the spring. 



Prices: Unless otherwise noted, 35 cts. each, 10 for $2.90, postpaid (remember that our post- 

 paid prices include delivery charges for which many other firms charge extra) y or $25 per 100. 25 

 or more at 100 rate, delivery not prepaid. 



Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl. 2 ft. 6-10 mo. Bears an abundance of pure white. 

 perfectly double flowers, borne in graceful sprays. A dainty 



flower to use in bouquets. It is spreading in growth and should be allowed more

Adam's Needle ^^ Spanish Bayonet ( Yucca filamentosa) . 3-5 ft. 6-7 mo. A 



low-grow^ing, tropical-looking plant which produces spear-like 



evergreen foliage that is decorative all the year round when the flowers have gone.

 in May and June and are surmounted by candelabras of cream-white, bell-shaped 

 flowers. See illustration, page S2. 35 cts. each; larger size, 50 cts. each.
