THAT BLOOM FOR YEARS 
You will like these old-time flowers be¬ 
cause they are so easy to grow, so bright in 
color, and give flowers so freely. While we 
call them "old-time'' they are not old-fash¬ 
ioned—with nearly all there have been great 
increases in size of bloom and additions to 
the colors. These changes put the Hardy 
Perennials among the foremost plants for 
modern gardens. All listed in this depart¬ 
ment are reliable in every way, and with a 
proper selection you may have flowers from 
early spring to late autumn. 
Anchusa 
Anchusa italica (A. azurea). Bright blue flowers 
in May and June with a second blooming in 
autumn. An extremely desirable perennial where 
a tall-growing plant is needed. 5 ft. 30c each. 
A. myosotidiflora. A charming, dwarf perennial 
from Russia with a mass of striking blue flowers 
resembling Forget-me-nots. Foliage extremely 
good after flowering season is over. Grows in 
shade, sun, the rockery, or border and is very 
hardy. 12 in. 30c each. 
Aquilegia 
Cerastium 
Artemisia 
Artemisia, Silver King. A striking silver-leaved 
plant. Nothing in foliage plants more effec¬ 
tive. Can be lavishly used in bouquets or 
floral combinations. Growing to a height of 
3 feet or more is most effective in the border. 
Has some use for winter decorations too. 
Hardy Asters 
St. Egwin. Rosy pink. Compact habit; free- 
blooming. September. 2 '/2 ft. 
Climax. Tall, pyramidal spikes of large light 
lavender-blue flowers. Excellent cut flower.

Campanula - Canterbury Bell 
Another garden favorite. Blossoms borne on 
long stems in many shades and colors. Partial 
shade and rich soil produce the better blossoms. 
This is a biennial, but should be in every garden. 
May, June. 2'/2 to 3 ft. 
Cerastium 
Cerastium tomentosum. Snow-in-Summer. A low 
spreading plant with silvery leaves covered with 
white flowers in May. Fine for rockeries or dry 
wall planting. 
Chrysanthemums 
There are few fall flowers which compare favor¬ 
ably or give as much satisfaction as the old- 
fashioned hardy Chrysanthemums. Many so-called 
hardy kinds do not withstand our changeable win¬ 
ters and we have tried to grow those which have 
proven best with us. They bloom in September 
and October. 
Pink, Red, White, and Yellow. 
Hybrid Korean 
Chrysanthemums 
During the past few years there has been intro¬ 
duced a new race of Chrysanthemums from a 
hardy, rugged species imported from Korea and 
Siberia. These hybrids carry the vigorous sturdy 
qualities of the species with the daisy-like flowers 
much improved. We have selected the best tried 
kinds and are pleased to offer a fine selection of 
color. 
Ceres. Combination of old gold, chamois-yellow 
and soft coppery bronze. 
Daphne. Blending of Daphne-pink with underly¬ 
ing sheen of lilac-rose. 
Hebe. Light luminous pink with faint silvery halo 
surrounding the golden center. 
Mars. Deep amaranth-red, changing to wine-red, 
overlaid with a velvety sheen. 
Saturn. Brilliant sparkling orange and bronze. 
35c each; 3 for $1.00. 
Coreopsis 
A beautiful and graceful yellow flower, desir¬ 
able for cutting or for the border. After blooming 
the seed may be cut away and a secondary blos¬ 
soming will follow all through the summer. June 
to August. 2 to 3 ft. 
Anemone - Windflower 
Valuable for massing; profuse bloomer, and gains 
strength and beauty each year. Semi-shaded locations. 
A show from September to November. Useful for cutting. 
Queen Charlotte. Semi-double, silvery pink flowers in 
abundance. 2 to 3 ft. 30c each. 
Whirlwind. An excellent double white. Very hardy. 2 to 
3 ft 30c each. 
Aquilegia - Columbine 
This is the daintiest of the spring flowers for cutting 
purposes. Will grow either in semi-shade or full sunlight. 
Blooms over a long period and is invaluable for the bor¬ 
der. Our plants are Mrs. Scott Elliott's Long-Spurred 
Strain, acknowledged to be the cream of Long-Spurred 
Columbine types. As they do not come true from seed, 
we offer only mixed colors. Try these and see the differ¬ 
ence over the common types heretofore sold.
