Flowering Plants 
Selected Hardy Perennials 
We offer a list of old time favorites that need no introduction. 
The plants have been carefully selected and prepared. 
They can be transplanted in spring as soon as the soil can be 
prepared, or put out in the fall at least 30 days before winter sets 
in. It is a great help to give the new plants a light covering of 
leaves, coarse straw, or other mulch, and see that they are well 
moistened to carry them through the winter. 20c each; 3 for 55c; 
10 for $1.75. Shipping weight, 1 plant 1 lb; 3 plants 2 lbs; 10 
plants 3 lbs. Please allow postage if ordered shipped by parcel 
post. 
COREOPSIS grandiflora. One of the most popular hardy plants. 
With its extremely large, rich yellow flowers, it will add beauty 
to your perennial garden. The Grandiflora is a special strain of 
the Coreopsis family.

newest and choicest sorts. Colors range from light blue through 
pink and lavender. These tall, stately Delphiniums are sure to 
be a great attraction in your garden. See description on page 
70. 
DIANTHUS. (Hardy Pinks.) Blooms through May and June. 
Fine for the rock garden, also for edging and borders. Every¬ 
one is familiar with this old-fashioned but still very popular 
flower. 
Phlox. 
GAILLARDIA. Another old friend, tried and true. 
The Gaillardia is well adapted for the rock garden. 
Daisy-like blooms, shading from bright crimson to 
golden yellow. Blooms throughout the summer 
and early autumn. See cut and description on page

GOLDEN GLOW. Grows to a height of six feet. Pro¬ 
duces an abundance of beautiful golden yellow, 
double flowers. Plant Golden Glow for your per¬ 
manent background.

dance of small bell-shaped flowers in clusters. No

sophila. Turn to page 71 for cut and further de¬ 
scription.

still a great favorite with all flower lovers. Their 
tall, stately stalks and brilliant double flowers

proved single daisies. The most useful garden 
flower, as they bloom over a long period and are 
excellent for cutting and furnish the white note 
so necessary in all garden plantings.

of dark leathery leaves. In late summer this is 
surmounted by a large head of very tiny lavender
