Perennials and Rock-Garden Plants 



Autumn is a good time to plant these. They get well established during the winter and are ready 

 to start growth with the first sign of spring. A comparatively small collection enables you to have 

 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. Allow some variation, according to latitude. 



Directions. — After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to within 3 inches of the 

 ground. Never put manure of any kind on top or in contact with perennial clumps. If any need of 

 protection, use cinders or sand.

Hardy Chrysanthemums 



These 12 Hardy Chrysanthemums include red, pink, 

 snow-white, bronze, and yellow shades. Most of them 

 will bear their masses of flowers by the middle of 

 October, and some of the earliest will bloom the first 

 part of September, so there is no risk of the flowers 

 being injured by frost. You can gather bushels of bloom 

 the first season from this selected set of 12.
