Hardy Perennial and Biennial Flower Plants 



The "Old-Fashioned Gardens" of grandmother's day were gardens of perennials. An increasing number of flow( 

 lovers are making these permanent gardens and using perennials among shrubbery in borders and beds. The return" eac 

 year of familiar flower faces without the annual bother of sowing or transplanting is indeed a great joy. Weeks in ac 

 vance of plants grown from seed, the early, hardy perennials throw out leaves and showy flowers to brighten the lane 

 scape. Both early and late flowering kinds are of easy culture. 



CULTURE: Seeds may be planted in the spring or just after midsummer for blooms the following year. But h 

 setting out plants m the spring blooms may be secured the same year, and some perennials will bloom from seed the sare 

 year if planted very early in the spring. (See descriptions of varieties.) 



A deep, well-drained bed of enriched soil is essential to the proper growth of the plants. Care taken in providing 

 suitable bed will repay you many times as you watch the succession of various beautiful and fragrant blooms throug-h tl: 

 seasons year after year.
