A  GARDEN  OF  HARDY  PERENNIALS  WITH  BOX-EDGED  WALKS 
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  fastidious  regarding  the  soil,  and  year 
after  year  they  will  reappear  in  the  same  place  with  increased  strength  and  ready  to  flower  more  abun- 
dantly 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  offer 
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  of  these  plants  is:  15  cents  each,  $1.50  per  doz.,  $10  per  100
