-Hardy 
Perennials- 
Natives of California 
QXE OF THE GREATEST 
charms of English Gardens is hardy 
perennials. My collection at The Ter¬ 
races is probably the finest in America, 
including the lovely natives of the Coast. 
In the South and West these 
perennials can be planted any time dur¬ 
ing the winter. In the East spring plant¬ 
ing is desirable. 
Catalogue E brings to the flower 
lover of the South and West a wealth of 
lovely things—Phlox in\rich shades; Ger¬ 
man Iris m wonderful variety; Del¬ 
phiniums; Hollyhocks in rare colors; 
Sweet Williams, Campanulas, and a host 
of other rare flowers. 
Catalogue A presents a large col¬ 
lection of California native bulbs, plants 
and shrubs. All of my catalogues will be 
sent free (on application) to readers of 
House & Garden. Write today. 
Remember I pay carriage 
charges in the United States.
