Perennial Flowers 



The hardy Biennials and Perennials outlive the severest winters, giving us each succeeding year a 

 finer display of their beautiful flowers. Some begin to bloom early in spring, others in summer, are all 

 of easy cultivation. Soon after the plants are through blooming, cut the old flower stems within a few 

 inches of the ground, which will present a more tidy appearance, and render the plant more vigorous. 

 Protect during the winter with a covering of straw, leaves or manure. ,
