Hardy Perennials 
To all lovers of flowers—and who is not—the hardy 
Perennials appeal very strongly, because during the whole 
flowering season there is not a time in which some of them 
are not in bloom, and they reappear year after year, bloom¬ 
ing freely and requiring very little attention and protection. 
Any of the perennials we offer will delight you with their 
flowers, but a flower garden skillfully planned by our ex¬ 
perts will give you the utmost enjoyment. Our strong, well- 
rooted plants make a showing of flowers the first year. 
The approximate height of each variety is given; also the 
flowering season.

HARDY ASTERS 
The demand for late blooming flowers during 
September and October—when the perennial 
border and rockery have lost much of their 
color and cheer—has brought the Hardy Aster 
into more extensive use. It has also brought 
out improved varieties with larger and better 
bloom and some very dwarf gems for the 
rockery. Our collection of twelve choice va¬ 
rieties will enable you to have a gorgeous dis¬ 
play of Asters for a period of sixty days ranging 
from 1 foot in height to 3 feet.

*ARABIS (White Rockcress) alpina. One of 
the most desirable of the very early Spring 
flowering plants for the rock garden, but 
does equally well in the low border, form¬

in bloom.

*HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Latest, improved, named varieties: 
Aladdin (The Perpetual-flowering ’Mum). 
The flowers are borne on erect stems, the 
terminal buds giving the first bloom. As 
the plant develops, the lateral branches 
make a surprising growth, throwing the 
lateral and sub-lateral flowers well above the 
first terminal blooms. The first blooms ap¬ 
pear late in July and early August, the color 
at first being exquisite warm coppery bronze, 
with an overlay of orange apricot shade 
which deepens in early Autumn. Illustrated 
on page 36. 
"Amelia or Pink Cushion. This is one of the 
most admired Chrysanthemums. It is a 
solid, compact grower, flowering from first 
of October until frost. The azalea-like flow¬ 
ers come continuously throughout the entire 
Fall. The whole clump, while in flower is 
completely covered. The color is a beautiful 
shade of pink. Due to its color and its com¬ 
pact growth we believe at this time there is 
no other Chrysanthemum as effective in rock 
garden, landscape or border planting. Illus¬ 
trated on page 36.
