A garden scene which owes much of its beaut\ to the plants which came from our Nurseries. 



Hardy Perennial Plants 



IT is no wonder that these grand, old-fashioned, hardy garden flowers continue to increase in popu- 

 larity, because 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 

 na\ be depended upon to make a grand display. Year after year they reappear and flower abundantly, 

 equiring scarcely any attention. 



A planting of perennials affords a display of bloom from earliest Spring until after frost comes in the 

 ^all and gives the owner flowers that may be cut at any time for house and table decoration. These plants 

 ook well anywhere, but are especially suited for border planting, either by themselves or in connection 

 vith shrubbery groups; they are also effectively used when planted along garden walks, walls or fences, 

 n rockeries and innumerable places that will suggest themselves. 



In planting the perennial border we suggest massing several plants of a kind, as the eff"ect produced 

 •y a colony is more attractive than a greater number of varieties with only a few plants of each. 



The size mentioned in the descriptions indicates the approximate height that the plant 

 nay be expected to attain at maturity. The months represent the season of bloom. 



Prices of Perennials, except where otherwise noted, are 15 cents each; $1.25 per 10; $10.00 per 100
