HARDY PERENNIALS 
THE STATK NUHKEHV AND SEED CO. arc I lie largrsl 
growers of llieso plants in Ltic Northwest. Our collcclidii 
is today one of ttie largest and best in the entire counlrv, 
and we are continually adding to the list. With no other 
class of plant Ls it possible to have as continuous a dis- 
play of bloom and beauty with as little effort, from the 
early spring to frosis of fall, as with Hardy Perennials. A 
bed or border of these plants, properly selected and ar- 
ranged, will produc(! a wealth of bloom almost from snow 
to snow. In the climate of Montana, there is no question 
but that they are the best class of plants for those who 
desire a profusion ol bloom for the garden, with the least 
expenditure of time and effort. Give them any ordinary 
good soil, eiu'iched With well decomposed fertilizer, an 
occasional watering through the sunniier. As soon as the 
first killing frosis have killed th© growth, remove the dead 
tops and if convenient cover the bed with a mulch of dry 
leaves, or straw, though this is not absolutely necessary. 
A good mulch of well rotted ferlilizer in the early spring, 
and spaded lightly into the border will also aid m giving 
them the necessary stimulus to bring out their best efforts 
for your pleasure. •
