HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
FOR PERMANENT PLANTING IN OPEN BORDERS, CEMETERY PLOTS, ETC. 
We desire to express our appreciation of the liberal share of patronage which we have received from the flower-loving public in 
years past. We would state that we are now offering only the very finest new and standard sorts that have been thoroughly tested. 
This will not only be a convenience but a protection to our customers; who may rest assured that they will receive no worthless varieties 
when ordering from our list. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING PLANTS 
The plants listed in this catalogue, pages C to H inclusive, will be ready for shipment October 20th. 
We will guarantee the safe arrival of all plants sent by Express or Parcel Post to all points in the United States. Should any- 
thing be injured in transit we urge our customers to notify us at once on receipt of the goods, and in every case send us a list of what 
has been damaged so that we can replace them without delay. But when they arrive in good condition our responsibility ceases, and 
if from inattention or other causes they fail and complaint is then made we cannot replace them. 
We do not pay transportation charges on plants. For those of our customers who prefer to receive their plants by Parcel Post we 
will be pleased to ship that way if money for postage is included with the order, otherwise we will ship by Express, buyer to pay express 
charge on delivery.
