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 flower lovers 
will be glad to have in their gardens. Hardy Perennials are easy to grow, requiring less care than 
annuals or other garden plants. When once planted they can be depended upon to give a perma¬ 
nence to the garden by continuing to flower year after year with little care. With the addition of Per¬ 
ennials an everblooming garden may easily be created. Most of them are particularly useful for cut 
flowers. Several 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 abundance 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.
