HARDY PERENNIALS 
P ERENNIALS are the flowers that gladdened the hearts of our grandmothers. The old and the new vari¬ 
eties both are still reigning favorites for the spring, summer and fall garden. An “old fashioned” Peren¬ 
nial bed is a beauty spot that is well worth adding to any home. Due to the fact that Perennials die out 
in the winter and come up anew in the spring, a Perennial garden requires less work and care than does an 
annual garden. 
Perennial Gardens Are Easy to Make. The planting is very simple, and, once planted, these perennials 
bloom gaily year after year, radiant in their bright colors, fascinating old-fashioned flowers. Everyone 
should plant a Perennial Garden, no matter how completely the home may already be landscaped. 
Many people make the mistake of trying to make a garden by planting only one plant of a kind, and are 
disappointed in the results. Three of a kind are needed to do justice to most varieties and produce the mass 
and color effect desired. Better yet, if there is room, plant them in lots of five or ten of a kind. 
Our Special Selection provides flowers all season, in a variety of color and bloom that cannot be excelled.
