Hardy Plants that Will Grow 
T HESE give the most garden joy. We watch for them to peep through the soil in 
spring. We anxiously await the first opening flowers, knowing that half a year or 
more of color and fragrance awaits when we step into the garden. By all means 
plant perennials; use annuals if you must, but make the old-fashioned flowers the key¬ 
stone of the garden. You can depend on the quality of the plants that you purchase from 
us. They are grown here at home, and we know you will be more than pleased with them. 
Price of Perennials: 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18 per 100, unless otherwise noted 
Hardy Aster, Blue Gem 
Hardy Asters 
New England may be termed the home of 
the Hardy Asters, as they thrive and bloom 
freely throughout this eastern section and 
make a splendid showing of color in late fall. 
A. amellus, King George. Violet-blue with 
golden disc in the center. 40 cts. each. 
A. novi-belgi, Blue Gem. Clear blue flowers.

with very large rich blue flowers. We think 
it is the finest of the whole family.

blue flowers with yellow centers. 30 cts. each.

orange center. Begins to bloom in June. 
Aconitum • Monkshood

the season that they contrast well with the 
early chrysanthemums. The plants increase 
in blooming qualities each year.

A. tinctoria, Perry’s Variety. Grows about 2 
feet high and produces golden yellow flowers

First and last these are the most popular 
and valuable plants for the fall garden. A 
careful selection of varieties will give flowers 
from August until late autumn.

quantities of pure white flowers all summer.
