HARDY PERENNIAL 
PLANTS 
Perennials are a real need for the average florist, 
blooming at a time when greenhouse stock is 
scarce, and by growing a collection of cut flower 
kinds you are assured of flowers for a job which 
must be turned out in a limited time. We have 
grown on contract all Perennial and Rock Plants 
that are worth-while and we are in position to sup¬ 
ply practically all kinds in commerce at low market 
values. Please write us about your perennial needs. 
SPECIAL NOTE; Lack of space in this catalogue prevents 
listing our complete line (the product of over 100 acres). 
However, after February 15, 1934, we will publish a com¬ 
plete catalogue of all worth-while kinds, including rock 
plants in great variety. Copy mailed free.
