Seeds of Hardy Perennials 



MANY PERENNIALS BLOOM THE FIRST SEASON IF SOWN EARLY 



The permanent character of the Hardy Perennials, which live and bloom from year to year for an indefinite period, with but little care, 

 renders them very popular among all classes of gardeners. Some of our very finest flowers are to be found among these plants for the 

 hardy garden, many of which, though old-fashioned, are dear through associations. Perennials sown in the fall will often bloom the 

 next season.
