General List of 



HARDY PERENNIALS 



HARDY Perennials, or "Old-fashioned Hardy 

 Flowers," have made tremendous strides in popu- 

 larity during the past decade. The same charac- 

 teristics — staunchness, dependability, gay beauty — that 

 made them favorites with generations gone by are again 

 winning for them hosts of new friends among modern 

 gardeners. Those offered in this catalog are the proved 

 and tried "Best" for all sections. All come to you as well- 

 developed plants, most of them grown in nursery rows. They 

 are bound to bloom for you and bloom abundantly this very year 



The weight of Hardy Perennial plants varies greatly with 

 different varieties. However, in the table on page 79 the 

 weight of these plants will be found, from which patrons who wish 

 shipment by mail can determine the amount to remit for postage. 



All varieties (unless otherwise noted), each, 20c; dozen, $2.00 



100, $14.00.

 most ornamental, leathery-like foliage, above which
