May's Hardy, Perennial Garden Beautifiers 
Guaranteed to Greatly Increase the Attractiveness of Your Garden 
HARDY PERENNIALS are 
among the most beautiful 
as well as the most satisfac- 
tory and practical of all 
plants. They not only grow 
year after year without care 
or replenishing but they also 
grow more beautiful with age, 
and by judicious planting a 
succession of blossoms may 
be obtained during the entire 
season. The Old Fashioned 
Garden is their proper metier 
but they fit in anywhere. 
Great strides have been made 
in their cultivation since our 
grandmother's day, and the 
old favorites have become 
wonderfully beautiful in the 
hands of skilled horticultur- 
ists.
