OLD-FASHIONED GARDENS 



Increase in Beauty Year by Year! 



It is not difficult to understand why Old-Fashioned Hardy Perennials 

 have retained their popularity through the ages. In the olden days, 

 perennials were grown primarily for show out-of-doors, for Milady 

 delighted in taking her guests through the garden and showing them 

 her floral treasures. However, home decoration now demands the 

 proper display of flowers in the hall, in the living room, dining room, 

 in short, wherever space and occasion properly permits. In carrying 

 out these modern ideas of decoration by means of flowers, the Old- 

 Fashioned Hardy Garden is indispensable. Yielding flowers from 

 earliest spring, when the Columbines nod their Easter benediction to 

 the very last of fall, when the hardy Chrysanthemums defy Jack Frost 

 to do his worst, the Hardy Perennial Border becomes a never-failing 

 source of delight.
