 Hardy Perennial Plants. 



Varieties Suitable for Autumn Planting. 



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

 when planted in the autumn. Many important sorts such as Japanese Anemones, Hollyhocks and similar plants, though 

 hardy when set out in the Spring, rarely survive the winter when disturbed in the fall, and spring planting is recom- 

 mended. Our stock of Perennials is the largest and most complete in the country. We handle this class of plants as one of 

 our most important specialties, and refer to pages 159 to 186 of our Garden Calendar for 1902 for a complete list and full 

 descriptions.
