OLDS’ HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS 
Olds’ Northern Grown Hardy Perennials are all two to three years old, field grown plants. They should not he 
confused with the small one-year seedlings which are so often offered. Perennials should be used for permanent 
plantings in beds and borders. When once established they will produce an abundance of flowers for years to come with 
practically no attention. ALL PRICES ARE POSTPAID PRICES.
