PERKINS' 
FLOWER GARDENS 
Perkins’ Perennial Plants

mer. An easily grown plant bearing graceful clus¬ 
ters of double white, daisy-like flowers on long 
stems. Each 25 cents. 
ANTHEMIS—Kelwayi —(Marguerite). 2 ft.; summer. 
A good plant for the border, producing an abun¬ 
dance of yellow daisy-like flowers. The finely cut 
dark green foliage is attractive during the entire 
season. While the blossoms are sometimes used for 
cut flowers the plant is better suited for adding a 
touch of bright color to the border. Each 25 cents;

AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 
Plant Very Early 
The Columbines are often miscalled honeysuckles. 
They grow from two to three feet high and produce an 
abundance of graceful, long-stemmed flowers for the 
late spring and early summer months. Columbines 
are not particular about the soil but seem to prefer a 
well drained sandy loam. They will grow in partial 
shade. Our plants are two year old clumps.

HARDY ASTERS— For Fall Bloom 
No hardy border is complete without groups of 
Hardy Asters to give masses of color in the fall. 
Asters grow in any soil but large flowers will not be 
produced in a poor, dry soil. Aster plants should be

blooms large. A long hedge of asters will attract 
much attention.
