Plants for the Old Fashionecl 

 Hardy Garden 



Planting hardy perennials is like investing your 

 garden money in good bonds. The first invest^ 

 ment is the only investment. After that, you 

 gather interest in form of increase in plants,' and 

 extra dividends in ever-increasing crops of flowers 

 year after year. 



Because the choice among hardy Perennials is 

 so great as to be bewildering, we have made it a 

 point to help newcomers by oifering a Complete 

 Hardy Garden for $5.00. Full details about this 

 are given on page 5. More detailed descriptions 

 of all Perennials offered in the following 6 pages 

 are given in our Catalog No. 114, which also offers 

 shrubs, trees and evergreens for fall planting. 



Hardy Perennial Plants vary greatly in weight, 

 according^ to the varieties. The average weight 

 of these plants is: dozen, 4 lbs.; 100, 30 lbs.; 

 knowing which^ customers who wish shipment by 

 mail can determine the amount to remit for postage.
