LITTLE-TREE 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
Fresh, vigorous, strong-rooted 
field grown clumps — ready to grow. 
Graceful Hollyhocks 
How could we make a garden without them! Such variety 
of leaf and blossom, such glory of color and fragrance, first to 
greet us in spring, last to yield to winter’s snows. Here indeed 
beats the steadfast heart of the garden! 
Perennials are infinite in variety and range in size from tiniest 
plants for edgings and rock gardens to tall strong plants for 
borders and back-grounds. Our list includes the old-fashioned 
hardy flowers of Colonial gardens and many new improved 
varieties. Use our vigorous, two-year old, field grown plants, 
just the size for successful transplanting; these “take hold" 
readily. For best effects plant Perennials in clumps or masses 
(at least three) of one kind. Perennials marked * are particularly 
good for Rock Gardens. See information about Perennial and 
Rock Gardens on pages 21 and 22.
