PERENNIAL 
FLOWERING PLANTS 
Perennials are to the garden what paintings, 
rugs and draperies are to the interior of the 
house. As well as furnishing the permanent 
color feature of the garden they supply a wealth 
of fragrance and constant source of cut flowers 
for the home. By proper selections, color may 
be maintained through every season. 
You cannot know true garden happiness until 
you really become perennial minded. We have 
thousands of friendly perennials here that are 
longing to grace someone’s gardens. Come in! 
Let us introduce you to a few of our friends, 
both old and new. We’ll all be happier. 
We carry the proper fertilizers for plants

location. 3 inch pots. Gal. containers.

of lavender-blue. Foliage is minute and compact. Height

AGROSTEMMA coronaria.

warm, well drained soil. Grows to a height of two and 
one-half feet. 2% inch pots.
