Hardy Plants Thi 
T HOSE old New England gardens of tradition and song were made 
with hardy plants. Columbines and Canterbury Bells, Hollyhocks 
and Baby’s Breath, Fleur-de-lis and Larkspurs, and scores of other 
colorful and fragrant flowers furnished nose-gays and bouquets for belles 
and beaus of those bygone days. 
Most of those old-fashioned plants are available today, and with them 
come hundreds of new ones from the fields of modern growers. Vast im¬ 
provements have been made; more beautiful colors have resulted; hardier 
types have been produced, giving more flowers and over a longer season. 
So the gardener has the old favorites and their new relations to use in the 
garden of today. 
Here at Cape Cod Nurseries we have a comprehensive collection of 
hardy plants. This list presents those that long experience has shown to be 
best suited to New England climate and soils. All the plants are grown 
under our supervision, and are covered by our guarantee that they will 
be true to name, free from disease, in good growing condition, and properly 
packed for shipping. 
We hope you will visit our sales office on Depot Avenue, and our main 
nurseries nearby. There are many plants that will intrigue modern gar¬ 
deners.
