HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Adam’s Needle (Yucca) 
Or Old-Fashioned Garden Flowers 
Valuable for adding brightness and color to the border beds, and a comparatively small 
collection will enable you to have some flowers in bloom all summer. Useful as cut-flowers. 
The first figure after a variety indicates height of growth. The next figures indicate the 
months the flowers bloom in this locality. Some variations must be allowed according to 
latitude. 
Directions. We send you most of these in strong roots. Allow from to 4 square 
feet of space for each. After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to about 
3 inches high, and give the bed a good coat of half-rotted manure, which will protect 
the plants and enrich the ground; dig this under in the spring before new growth starts.
