Hardy  Perennial  Plants 
There  is  an  unprecedented  demand  for  these  old-fashioned  hardy  garden  flowers,  and  we  are 
giving  increased  attention  to  the  raising  of  them.  There  is  not  a  time  during  the  whole  flower 
season  in  which  some  hardy  perennial  is  not  in  bloom,  and  when  the  wooded  shrubs  are  almost 
bare  of  flowers,  in  July  and  August,  these  little  plants  make  a  fine  display.  They  are  not  fastidi- 
ous regarding  the  soil,  and  year  after  year  they  will  reappear  in  the  same  place  with  increased 
strength  and  ready  to  flower  more  abundantly  than  before.  They  require  scarcely  any  attention,, 
and  nothing  is  finer  for  borders  along  fences  or  walls  and  at  the  boundaries  of  the  lawn.  Planted 
at  the  front  of  shrubbery  groups  they  give  a  brilliant  display,  and  they  are  valuable  in  innumerable 
places  that  will  suggest  themselves.  The  selection  we  ofifer  includes  the  most  desirable  varieties, 
but  by  no  means  all  that  we  can  supply,  so  that  persons  wanting  sorts  not  catalogued  here  will 
do  well  by  writing  to  us. 
Except  where  otherwise  noted,  the  price  0!  these  plants  is:   15  cts.  each,  $1.60  per  doz.,  $10  per  100
