BAY STATE NURSERIES, INCORPORATED 
Herbaceous Department 
We are growing herbaceous perennials at both our North 
Abington and Framingham Nurseries. The larger variety and 
quantity by far is grown at our North Abington nurseries, 
where we have a separate department of over forty acres of 
hardy perennials. 
We extend a cordial invitation to those who are interested, 
to visit our perennial department, see our propagating green¬ 
houses, our large stock of perennials and our facilities for 
handling orders. 
We are continuing to offer perennials in quantities of three, 
instead of singly, as we believe generally speaking it isn’t 
practical to get a satisfactory garden effect by using one plant 
of a kind. Please remember that five plants or more of one 
variety will be priced at the ten rate and that twenty-five or 
more of one kind will be entitled to the hundred rate. In 
instances where only a single plant is wanted, the price will 
be one-third the rate for three. 
The material we grow is strong field grown stock, with the 
exception of some varieties which transplant better by being 
grown in pots. 
As in the case of evergreens and flowering shrubs, orders 
may be placed for perennials at either our North Abington 
or our Framingham offices, and we will attend to the prompt 
filling and careful assembling of your orders. 
Hardy Perennials, Ferns and Grasses 
Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are particularly

eral Information.
