HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
The strongest practical argument in favor of hardy peren¬ 
nials is the fact that once planted, they continue year after 
year with no further gardening concern beyond cultivation, 
cutting and thinning. 
Beautiful in a thousand types and expressions, embracing 
every color shade and pattern within the knowledge of man, 
it needs only a little thought, study, and art sense to so select 
types and associate colors, that the perennial garden will be¬ 
come a vivid, glorious, living adventure in beauty and self- 
expression.
