Selected and Recommended for Fall Planting 
The fall of the year is the best time to renovate your borders, 
eliminate unsatisfactory varieties, and lay out new work. A 
Perennial border renews itself year by year, and therefore it is 
the most economical garden to plant. 
All the plants we offer are nursery-grown, properly prepared 
for shipment, and will satisfy everybody if the plants are given 
some protection in winter against severe weather. Varieties not 
suited for fall planting are omitted from this list. 
All plants suitable for rock-gardens are marked © after the 
name. 
Perennials, except where specially priced, are 85 cts. for 3 of one kind, $2.30 for 10 of one kind, $20 per 100
