Cole’s Hardy Perennial Plants 
Perennials are the backbone of the garden! If, when planted, they are given the soil and 
surroundings best suited to each, they will live and bloom for years with a minimum of care. 
We have a fine collection of the better things including some of the latest novelties, and 
by careful selection of varieties you can have bloom from early spring until frost. 
Try some of the newer things and enjoy new types as well as new colors of the flowers 
with plants adapted to every situation.
