Perennial Border 



ADONIS 



It is a very fine one of the early spring 

 flowering perennials with large yellow blos- 

 soms. Pkt., 300 seeds, 10c; % oz., 15c. 



ACHILLEA (The Pearl) 



A popular perennial, bearing large clusters 

 of pure white double flowers. It blossoms 

 all summer and is invaluable for floral 

 pieces or bouquets, and is grand for ceme- 

 tery planting, as it is perfectly hardy and 

 takes care of itself. 1% feet. Pkt., 60 

 seeds, 10c; 1-16 oz., 25c. 



They are eaaily 

 raised from aeed, 

 >->eing sowed In the 

 spring or early Bum- 

 mer. They ahould 

 be sown in aeed beds 

 and transplanted 

 either once or twice, 

 preferably twice. It 

 is necessary to keep 

 the seed beds pretty 

 moist but not satur- 

 ated and to protect 

 the seedlings from 

 the hot rays of the 

 sun. Perennials will 

 give you a great 

 deal of satisfaction 

 and those who love 

 flowers would rather 

 grow them from 

 seed than to buy 

 the plants. How- 

 ever, for the setting 

 out of an entirely 

 new garden we 

 would recommend 

 the use of plants so 

 as to get a more 

 rapid start the first 

 year.
