HARDY PERENNIALS 
PERENNIALS once planted in any good average 
soil will continue year after year to delight the plant¬ 
ers. We are listing and describing briefly only a few 
of the well-known hardy desirable ones. These are field 
grown heavy plants that will need no petting. If a 
quantity should be needed if you will send word giv¬ 
ing number and variety we will make considerably 
lower prices. 
Price of those listed below: 25c each; 3 for 70c; 10

ANEMONE (Windflower). They succeed best in light,

If planted in the autumn they should be covered with

the most beautiful hardy perennials, producing grace¬ 
ful spurred flowers on 2-foot stems.

most important family for the flower garden. The 
dwarf species are charming for rock gardens, being 
not difficult to cultivate.

freely its bright orange-scarlet lantem-like fruits, 
which can be but and dried, in which shape they are 
used extensively for floral decoration during winter.

hardy plants. The flowers are a rich golden yellow
