HARDY PERENNIALS 
Our collection of Perennials, which affords such a wonderful and colorful display every Summer 
and Pall, is the largest and best in the Rocky Mountain region, and we are continually adding to our 
stock. iWith no other class of plants is it possible to have as continuous a display of bloom and 
beauty, with as little effort, from early Spring to the killing frosts of Pall, as with Hardy Perennials. 
For our climate in the Northwest there is no question but that they are by far the best class of plants 
for those who desire a profusion of bloom for the garden with the least expenditure of effort. Give 
them ordinary good soil enriched occasionally with well rotted manure, Vigoro or Plantone, and keep 
them watered at proper intervals. As soon as the first killing frosts in the Pall have killed the top 
growth, cover the plants with a mulch of dead leaves or straw. In the Spring when growth has started 
add a little of a good commercial fertilizer such as Vigoro or Plantone and cultivate lightly into the 
soil.
