Herbaceous Plants 
PERENNIALS 
I N the past few years the popularity of these garden, plants has increased by leaps 
and bounds: where one was used five years ago a hundred are planted today. 
We are appreciating more and more the possibilities of this class of plants not 
only to furnish the general color scheme of the garden but to give us those masses 
of cut-flowers which we take from the garden to the house. 
Indeed these hardy flowering plants cannot be said to be only garden plants for 
they find a place in the woodland, by the brookside, in the meadow, as pleasing 
covers for unsightly places under trees, and for the beautifying of rocky banks; in 
fact, there are few positions where perennials cannot be used to advantage, and as 
the listing of this class of plants requires more space than we can devote to it in this 
catalog we have prepared another edition of our 
Calendar of Hardy Perennials 
a booklet which first issued in 1905 and of which we have printed numerous editions. 
In this list will be found not only our best-known garden plants but many that are 
rare and interesting, and they are classified under the months in which they bloom 
and in lists for special purposes. One is often anxious for perennials for a special 
purpose and it is a long journey to take the average perennial catalog and wade 
through the descriptions to find those which will meet requirements. Our arrange¬ 
ment of lists takes care of this; you simply turn to the special class and find anywhere 
from a dozen to fifty varieties that can be used for the purpose, and from which it 
is easy to make a selection. Do not fail to ask for the “Calendar oj Hardy Perennials.”
