Hardy Perennial Plants 



The charm of the perennial hardy garden is well recognized. 

 There is a very real joy in seeing the old flowers bloom year after 

 year and ever more abundantly-. Manj- perennial plants are rather 

 difficult to produce from seed. We have, therefore, made j)repara- 

 tions to supply our trade direct from Windermoor Farm with strong, 

 healthy roots of the leading kinds. We offer these at a uniform price 

 of 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen, all dehvery charges being prei)aid. 

 Although we shall be pleased to receive orders at any time during 

 the season, we feel it is not safe to make shipment until toward the 

 end of March. However, those d&siring immediate shipment can 

 have it by so requesting.
