AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN OF PERENNIALS. (Note the Sun Dial and Pergola) 
Hardy Perennial Plants 
IVE great satisfaction when used for borders—along the front of shrubberies—along driveways 
LKOb and walks, or planted in masses on lawns, because being perennial they do not require replant- 
L\s 9 k ingeach season. Once planted they give but little trouble. When the foliage dies or is killed 
by frost their usefulness is not ended, for they will appear each spring with greater strength 
and beauty. They are the old-fashioned garden plants of our grandmothers, always beautiful, always 
entitled to our most affectionate regard, making our homes more attractive. They hold a strong place 
in the hearts of all plant lovers and should be planted generously. They combine diversity of foliage 
and great variety in form and color, while many varieties are excellent for cutting.
