MICHELL’S HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
All of the old-fashioned flowers which were the delight of our grandmothers are to be found in this class of plants. They are all 
perfectly hardy and die down in the Fall, appearing again in the Spring with renewed vigor. 
There is an ever-increasing demand for hardy perennial plants, as they are of easy culture and there is not a time during the whole 
season when some are not in bloom. Each variety has a fixed time for flowering so that by making a judicious selection a succession of 
blooms may be had from early Spring until late Autumn. There is no set rule for the planting of perennials. The amount of room at one’s 
disposal, the location and also the individual taste of the planter must be taken into consideration. Probably the most satisfactory results 
are obtained from a hardy border backed by a hedge or a fence, planting some of the taller growing sorts such as Hollyhocks, Hardy 
Asters, Bocconias, Helianthus and Boltonias in the back, graduating the shorter growing sorts toward the front and finishing the border 
with an edging of Plumbago Larpentae, Phlox Subulata, Arabis and other of the dwarf growers. 
Our booklet, “The Hardy Flower Garden,” is an instructive publication and will be sent free on request.
