Our collection of Perennials, which affords 
such a wonderful and colorful display every 
Summer and Fall, is the largest and best in the 
Rocky Mountain region, and we are continually 
adding to our stock. For our climate in the 
Northwest there is no question but that they 
are by far the best class of plants for those 
who desire a profusion of bloom for the garden 
with the least expenditure of effort. Give them 
ordinary good soil enriched occasionally with 
well rotted manure, Vigoro or Plantone, and 
keep them watered at proper intervals. As 
soon as frosts in the Fall have killed the top 
growth, cover the plants with a mulch of straw.
