HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Or Old-Fashioned Garden Flowers 
Valuable for adding brightness and color to the border beds, and a comparatively small collec¬ 
tion will enable you to have some flowers in bloom all summer through. 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 variation must be allowed according to latitude. 
Directions. —We send you most of these in strong roots. Allow from I yf to 4 square feet of 
space for each. After the first severe frost in the fall, cut down the tops to within 3 inches of the 
ground, 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. 
Price: Unless otherwise noted, 20 cts. each, 12 lor $2, postpaid; 25 for $3, or $10 per 100, by express 
Note.—Remember that our postpaid prices include delivery charges for which many other
