PERENNIALS 
We are growing some of the best and hardiest kinds. We had nearly all these 
varieties growing in our garden in 1936 and they lived and bloomed in spite of the 
intense heat and drought. 
Our plants are not small seedlings but strong transplanted field grown specimens 
with heavy roots and are sure to grow with only a little care. 
Perennial plants are an essential part in any flower garden. Plant more of them 
and have flowers for your home all through the summer and fall seasons. Heavy 
plants in the following varieties.

this too highly for table or canning.
