Perennial Flowering Plants 
The Perennial plants whose roots live from year to year, play one of 
the most important parts in colorful gardens. They form the permanent, 
or near permanent color features, in beds and borders and marginal plant¬ 
ings, making gardens that increase in interest and beauty year after year, 
and change their aspect with every change of season. 
The plants listed in this section are pot-grown, or 
field grown clumps according to season, and most sat¬ 
isfactory method of transplanting. 
Plants are sent by Express 
They are removed from the pots, carefully packed 
to arrive in perfect condition, at low transportation 
cost to the purchaser.
