26 HARDY PERENNIALS. 
STATE NURSERY CO 
For over twenty years we have been supplying the most 
critical amateur and professional gardeners in this state 
with their stock of perennial plants and the steady growth 
in our business during this period has been conclusive evi- 
dence that our plants are reliable and our customers satis- 
lied. 
We are the Northwest leaders in perennials. No plants 
are listed in our lists as hardy that have not been thor- 
oughly proved to be adaptable to the Northwest. No lawn 
of the ornamental kind is complete without a liberal pro- 
portion of hardy flowering plants. The rapid growth they 
make, combined with the small amount of care they re- 
quire, makes them a general favorite. By judicious selec- 
tion your garden can have plants in bloom all the sum- 
mer. Another important factor is their use for indoor 
<lecorations, providing exquisite flowers six months out of 
the year. Look through our assortment of perennials, 
place your order with us and be assured of entire satis- 
faction.
