CANTERBURY BELLS 



Hardy Perennial and Biennial Flower Plants 



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

 lovers are making these permanent 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 ad- 

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

 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 by 

 netting 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. 



STRONG, YEAR OLD PLANTS. Our perennial plants will give satisfaction. All of them are large and well-rooted. 

 They should be planted in March or April, according to the season, for best results. Where listed at 25 cts. each, we will
