HARDY PERENNIALS 
Prices of perennials are subject to change. 
It makes a difference if a 15c plant in the spring is grown till mid-summer or fall. 
It is then worth more. 
It makes a difference if plants are dug with or without a clump of dirt. 
Where two prices are given, as 25c-35c, it indicates plants of different lots, age 
or size. If ordered by mail we will furnish plants fully equal to the price you indicate. 
On mail orders for plants amounting to less than $3.00, add 25c for postage 
and packing. Other Terms of Sale same as on Page 2. 
Heavy perennials may have to be shipped by express, collect. 
Perennial purchases usually are completed at the gardens throughout the season. 
Everything planted in the perennial garden should be mulched the first winter. 
Nearly everything is better to have a light mulch every winter. Lily bulbs should 
always be well mulched. 
Clean wheat or rye straw is a good material to use for mulching.
