Hardy Perennial Flower Seeds and Plants 



A BORDER OF HOLLYHOCKS AND GERMAN IRIS 



The "Old-Fashioned Gardens" of grandmother's day were gardens of perennials. An increasing number of flower lovers are making these perma- 

 nent gardens and using perennials among shrubbery in borders and beds. The return each year of familiar flower faces without the annual bother 

 of sowing or transplanting is indeed a great joy. Weeks in advance of plants grown from seed, the early, hardy perennials throw out leaves and 

 showy flowers to brighten the landscape. 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 by setting out plants in the spring 

 blooms may be secured the same year, and some perennials will bloom from seed the same 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 a suitable bed will repay you 

 many times as you watch the succession of various beautiful and fragrant blooms through the seasons year after year.
