Hardy Perennial Plants 



T 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 



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



iuiring scarcely any attention. 

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



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



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



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



rockeries and innumerable places that will suggest themselves. 

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



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 may be 



)ected to attain at maturity. The months represent the season of bloom. 

 Our experience in past years has taught us that express is the safest method of shipping 



rennials because of their perishable nature. We therefore reserve the right to ship in this 



inner when, in our judgment, it seems advisable.
