Hardy Perennial Flowers for All Purposes 



Of course there are those who advocate "a Rosebed for every yard/' or a "garden full of Peonies" 

 or "Glads" or 'TDahlias/' as th'i case may be. But all in all, the most satisfactory flowers in' the long 

 run are our good, old-fashioned hardy perennials and it is to these that we devote the next few pages. 



Because the choice among hardy Perennials is 

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

 point to help newcomers by offering a Complete 

 Hardy Garden for $5.C0. Full details about this 

 are given on opposite page. More detailed descrip- 

 tions of all Perennials offered in the following 6 

 pages are given in our Catalog No. 117, 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 Its.; 100. 30 lbs. All 

 varieties (unless otherwise noted), each 20c.; 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.50.
