Hardy Perennial Plants* 



Tne plants in this class are perfectly hardy and are considered 

 both valuable and desirable for open ground, inasmuch as they 

 die down only to the roots at the approach of cold weather. They 

 survive the most severe Winters and continue to grow and bloom 

 year after year with little or no care. Once planted they become 

 a lasting pleasure. Failure with them is practically impossible.
