Hardy Perennials 
FLOWERS THAT LIVE YEAR AFTER YEAR 
Under this heading of hardy perennials I am placing before those that are native to the 
United States the letter (N.) This will possibly assist prospective customers in selecting 
plants for a purely natural garden where only natives are required. There is no class of 
plants which gives the permanency of effect as natives. When they are once established 
they go on blooming year after year while many of the so-called hardy garden plants pass 
their usefulness after a period of two or three years. 
To those who contemplate the development of a natural garden I offer my services at a 
reasonable fee. We are very glad to make selections and give advice through correspondence 
at no cost or obligation to the writer. 
The prices listed in this catalog at single and dozen rates include parcels post delivery. 
Where hundred rates are given the prices include delivery to express office at Southwick, 
Mass. The transportation charges are to be paid by the purchaser. Plants to Canada by 
express only.
