PERENNIALS AND 

 BIENNIALS. 



If you do not have 

 time to cultivate annu- 

 als, why not have a 

 perennial bed? Once 

 started the plants will 

 almost care for them- 

 selves. Give the bed a 

 slight dressingof man- 

 ure each spring, and 

 protect, in the winter, 

 by light covering o f 

 leaves or straw. I of- 

 fer a Mixed Packet of 

 Perennials and Bienni- 

 als, containing not 

 only all the hardy 

 kinds here catalogued, 

 but some thirty or for- 

 ty additional varieties. 

 These will give a "bed 

 of beauty and be a joy 

 forever. "Mixed Pkt. 5c.
