HARDY PERENNIALS 
Perennials should be found in every garden. They are far superior as cut flowers to annuals, 
once planted requiring very little attention. A succession can be chosen that will furnish a 
constant supply of cut flowers from frost to frost. We are always glad to assist our customers in 
making selections for various purposes. 
By Hardy Herbaceous Perennials is meant such plants as remain permanently in the ground. 
Their foliage dies down each autumn, but comes again with the same vigor the following spring. 
Th ere is such a variety in color and time of blooming among them that continuous flowering can 
be assured from early spring to late fall. To facilitate selections the time of flowering is indicated, 
also the approximate height of the plant.
