Hardy Perennial Plants. 
W E offer on (lie following five pages an abridged list of varieties which years of experience have proven to be a success when 
planted in the autumn. A few sorts such as Japanese Anemones, Hollyhocks and similar piants, though hardy when set 
out in the spring, rarely survive the winter when disturbed in the fall, and spring planting is recommended. Our stock of 
Perennials is the largest and most complete in the country, handling this class of plants as one of our most important specialties.
