HARDY PERENNIALS 
I T is no wonder that these old-fashioned hardy garden flowers continue to increase in popularity, for there 
is not a time during the whole flowering season when some hardy perennial is not in bloom, and when, 
during the late summer, few shrubs are in blossom, these little plants may be depended on for attractive 
display. 
Plant perennials this year in the flower-bed where you have been using annuals. Every year you have to 
replace annuals, whereas the perennials come up each season with very little work or expense. 
You do not need a large estate to have an old-fashioned garden or border from which you can pick flowers 
from early spring until late fall. Let us help plan your garden. 
The size mentioned in the description indicates the height the plants may be expected to attain at matur¬ 
ity; the month represents the season of bloom. 
Perennials marked (t) are suitable for rock-gardens
