Choice Hardy Perennials 
I am presenting here an unusually attractive 
list of Hardy Perennials. It would be very easy to 
extend the list indefinitely, but I am confining the 
list to those items that I am sure any flower lover 
will be glad to have in their garden. Hardy Peren¬ 
nials are easy to grow, requiring less care than 
annuals or other garden plants. When once planted 
they can be depended upon to give a permanence 
to the garden by continuing to flower year after year 
with little care. With the addition of Perennials an 
everblooming garden may easily be created. Most 
of them are particularly useful for cut flowers. Sev¬ 
eral are low growing varieties especially suitable for 
the rock garden or small bed, or for planting along 
walks or paths or edging the border. All are hardy 
anywhere and the plants I will send will all be large, 
healthy, two year field grown specimens, with 
masses of fibrous roots, ready to produce an abun¬ 
dance of flowers. 
Perennials should never be planted singly, but 
for best effect should always be planted in clumps 
of several plants of a variety, or in masses.

ALL PRICES ARE PREPAID on orders of 
$2.00 or over. Please remember this because the 
postage on some of these heavily rooted plants is 
often one third of the value of the order. 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) —15 to 18 in. See illustration No. 1. 
Every gardener loves the dainty Columbines. The Long-spurred 
Hybrids I am offering are a great improvement over the older 
varieties. There is a wide range of delicate soft colors and rich 
pastel shades. Large healthy 2-year field-grown plants. 3 for 75c; 
6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00. 
RED YUCCA—You no doubt know the White Yucca, which pro¬ 
duces its four foot spikes of white bell shaped flowers, each a 
giant bouquet in itself ; but you probably never before heard of 
the new RED YUCCA. It is the same as the White Yucca, but 
with brilliant red flowers. The foliage is of tropical appearance 
and remains green all winter regardless of sub-zero weather. 
Large strong extra heavy plants $1.50 each. 
DELPHINIUMS—See illustration No. 5. These Hybrids produce 
huge spikes 4 to 5 feet high, studded with blooms. The flowers 
range through mauve, blue, purple and white. The plants we are 
offering this season should sell for $1.00 each, but we have an 
extra fine large stock of them and are making a special price 
inducement that should appeal to all flower lovers. Sold in mixed 
colors only. 3 for $1.50; 6 for $2.50; 12 for $4.50. 
FUNKIA SUBCORDATA GRANDIFLORA—This rare and un¬ 
usual Funkia has large exquisitely fragrant white flowers re¬ 
sembling Easter Lilies and almost as large, borne profusely all 
Summer long. The foliage is also ornamental and quite unlike 
the lily foliage. They are so hardy that they will grow anywhere 
in sun or shade with practically no care. Equally attractive in 
the rock garden or in a wild garden, or in the border or in a bed 
by themselves. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.50. 
GIANT MALLOWS—3 ft. These improved Giant Mallows have 
flowers as large as a dinner plate in the most lovely pure pink, 
also in white and vivid red. They look much like huge Holly¬ 
hocks, but the flowers are several times as large and the plant 
more bushy. They flower profusely all summer and require no 
care. The extra strong clumps I send will flower the first year 
and increase in beauty each year. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for 
$2.50. 
HARDY SWEET PEAS (Lathyrus)—The flowers are quite as 
handsome as the annual sw r eet peas, but once planted these hardy 
sweet peas will take care of themselves, coming up each year with 
little or no care. For covering a low trellis or fence there is 
nothing finer. The vines die down during the Winter and make 
new growth each Spring and Summer. The plants are of such 
rugged growth and so much branched that each plant will cover 
several feet of fence or trellis. The flowers grow in clusters, one 
cluster being sufficient for a corsage bouquet, and the plants are 
covered with these clusters of delightful red, pink and white 
flowers all Summer long. The flowers on each plant, of course, 
are of one color, and the plants are sold in mixed colors only. 
3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.50. 
TRITOMA HYBRIDS—See colored illustration No. 4. These 
hybrids include pale yellows to deep orange and scarlet. They are 
very showy and effective in the garden when planted in masses 
of 6 or more. 3 for $1.00; 6 for $1.50; 12 for $2.25.
