HARDY PERENNIALS 
I F IS no wonder that these old-fashioned hardy 
garden flowers continue to increase in popularity, 
for there is not a time during the whole flowering 
season when some hardy perennial is not in bloom, 
and when, during the late summer, few shrubs are 
in blossom, these little plants may be depended on 
for attractive display. 
Plant perennials this year in the flower-bed where 
you have been using annuals. Every year you have 
to replace annuals, whereas the perennials come up 
each season with very little work or expense. 
You do not need a large estate to have an old- 
fashioned garden or border from which you can 
pick flowers from early spring until late fall. Let us 
help plan your garden. 
The size mentioned in the description indicates 
the height the plants may be expected to attain at 
maturity; the month represents the season of bloom. 
There are no finer autumn flowers than the modern 
Chrysanthemums and you will like our new varieties. 
Perennials marked (f) are suitable for rock-gardens
