Nos. 130-2.—Hardy Perennial Plants. 
—Flowers that everybody wants. Bedding plants—those 
planted in masses for the color effects of their flowers 
and foliage—are almost all tender green-house plants, 
which must bo renewed each spring. This is too expen¬ 
sive in both money and time. The plants best suited to 
farm and country gardens, are the Hardy Perennials, 
which endure the winter, and each year increase in 
strength and beauty. Among these are most of the “ old- 
fashioned flowers ’’—neglected, and almost driven out of 
cultivation by the newer style of gardening. Messrs. 
Woolson & Co., Passaic, N. J., devote themselves ex¬ 
clusively to the cultivation of Hardy Herbaceous Peren¬ 
nials,which comprise notonly the “old-fashionedplants,”

duction. Send them your address, by postal card, stat¬
