OLDS’ HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS 
Coreopsis. Mayfield Giant. 
Olds’ Northern Grown Hardy Perennials are all two to three years old, field grown plants. They should not be 
confused with the small one-year seedlings which are so often offered. Perennials should be used for permanent plant¬ 
ings in beds and borders. When once established they will produce an abundance of flowers for years to come with 
practically no attention. ALL PRICES ARE POSTPAID PRICES. 
Note. If you need a large quantity of plants for a border or rock garden 
send us your list. We will be glad to quote you prices.
