HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



GENERAL LIST OF HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



Each year helps to establish more firmly the popularity of Hardy Perennial Plants. There is no greater satisfaction to one who 

 has a garden than to watch some last year's favorite come up in its accustomed place when spring approaches. Thev are most 

 effective in the mixed border but almost every place has some nook or corner where they can be used to good advantage. When 

 once planted they almost care for themselves and repay us with a profusion of blooms of many forms and colors from early spring 

 to late fall.
