Hardy Perennials 
Interest in hardy perennials is constantly increasing. 
Garden magazines and Garden Clubs are spreading the 
knowledge of the choicer items. The reasonable price at 
which most plants are sold is also a big factor in creating a 
demand that means profit to you. 
Many items are valuable cut flowers and they usually 
bloom at a time when greenhouse material is scarce. 
A planting of cut flower items will repay many times its 
original cost, with the natural increase available for 
resale.
