60 HARDY PERENNIALS 
The I. W. Scott Company, Pittsburgh, Pa 
Hardy Perennial Plants 
Hardy perennial flowers are depended on to give the garden continuity from year 
to year and to afford that appearance of settled contentment and quietude which 
comes with their increased size and reappearance in the same places year after year. 
If the ground is well prepared by deep spading and fertilizing, they will need 
little attention beyond keeping the surface hoed and the weeds pulled for the first 
year—after that they are usually big and strong enough to take care of themselves. 
The plants which we offer are grown locally, two years old, and freshly dug. 
Price, 25 cts. each, 65 cts. for 3, $2.50 per doz., except where otherwise noted. If wanted 
by Parcel Post, add 10 cts. extra for each plant, 15 cts. for 3, 25 cts. per doz.
