 Hardy Perennial Plants. 



WE offer oi\ the following five pages an abridged list of varieties which years of experience have proven to be a success when 

 planted in the autumn. A few sorts such as Japanese Anemones, Hollyhocks and similar plants, though hardy wlien set 

 out in the spring, rarely survive the winter when disturbed in the fall, and spring planting is recommended. Our stock of 

 Perenninls is the largest and most complete in the country, handling this class of plants as one of our most important specialties.
