Hardy Perennials for Cut- Flowers 



One of the great joys incidental to the possession of a hardy garden is the privilege of cutting 

 llowers for the decoration of the home or as a friendly gift that will never go unappreciated. May 

 and June are prodigal months in the garden, but an unhmited supply of flowers may not be available 

 during late summer and fall without a careful selection of varieties. We, therefore, submit the follow- 

 ing good cut-flower kinds to facilitate your selection.
