Perennial Flowering Plants 
The Perennial plants whose roots 
live from year to year, play one of 
the most important parts in color¬ 
ful gardens. They form the perma¬ 
nent, or nearly permanent color 
features in beds and borders and 
marginal plantings, making gardens 
that increase in interest and beauty 
year after year, and change their 
aspect with every change of sea¬ 
son. 
The plants listed in this section 
are pot-grown, or field grown 
clumps according to season, and 
most satisfactory method of trans¬ 
planting. 
Plants are sent by Express 
They are removed from the pots, 
carefully packed to arrive in per¬ 
fect condition, at low transporta¬ 
tion cost to the purchaser.

f ANCHUSA MYOSOTIDIFLORA

is entirely different from the tall growing variety.

heart shaped leaves about three inches across, 
which are deep green and smooth. The little for- 
get-me-not-like flowers are a rich deep blue, and 
produced in many long graceful sprays completely 
covering the plant. These sprays of blooms are 
really charming as cut flowers, their long stems 
and deeper color making them superior even to 
the forget-me-not for this purpose. The plant is 
very hardy and adapted to any good garden soil. 
Will succeed in partial shade or full sun. This is 
something really fine.
