PERENNIAL PLANTS (Hardy Everywhere) 
The reason Perennials are so popular, they take care of themselves, and require little or no care. Plant them in good soil^ 
or poor soil; they stand heat, cold, drought and neglect. Of course they respond to good treatment too, but you can neglect 
them without fatal results. This year, we have priced our Perennial plants so low, no home can afford to be without a 
generous supply of these fine plants for beautifying the premises, for cut flowers, etc. Get your neighbors to join you and 
order 100 or more. 
ACHILLEA (Milfoil or Yarrow). Plants suitable for dry, 
sunny places, useful for carpeting or for rockeries; border 
plants. Colors: Yellow, rose pnik, white. State choice. 
Nothing better for cut flowers.

flowers in early Spring. An excellent plant for the rockery or

plants. Ordinary soil is suitable but they must have a sunny 
position. Colors, white or pink, state choice.

almost as large and fine as greenhouse carnations, and are 
a vast improvement over old sorts. Colors, scarlet, white and

scarlet bronzy flowers tipped with yellow. Flowers produced 
in great quantities. Plant very hardy.

the same habit, but the flowers are a clean, clear, pale yellow.

The list of six varieties given below is made up of what we 
consider the best six kinds for cutting. They all have long

is an outstanding fine variety. Flowers are large, of a deep 
velvety redish-bronze completely covering the plant.

iety. 
HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
We collected from old gardens some of the old fashioned 
Chrysanthemums which are very hardy and which bloom in 
October and November, after all other outdoor flowers are 
gone. Often in bloom when the snow is on the ground; are 
very showy. 3 to 4 feet high. When in bloom are a perfect 
mass of flowers. 
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY PINK. 
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY RED 
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY WHITE 
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY YELLOW. 
SHASTA DAISY 
The improved varieties of Marguerite, all allied to the Shasta 
Daisy that adorns our fields in the Spring, are among the most 
useful of our garden flowers. Not only have these flowers been 
greatly improved in size and form, but there are now early 
and late blooming varieties which give a succession of long¬ 
stemmed flowers so available for decoration during four 
months of the year. 
ALASKA. Handsome plant, with large, glistening white blos¬ 
soms in June and July. 
SUTTON’S MAY QUEEN. Not one of the largest, but one of 
the earliest; similar to the Hartje & Elder Daisy but with a 
better stem.Flowering for Decoration Day, it is one of our most 
valuable cut flower varieties. 
DELPHINIUM 
BELLADONA. They are our best blue cut flowers, are per¬ 
fectly hardy and established plants produce a number of spikes, 
giving three crops during the season. The two and three-year-old 
plant of Belladonna can be forced in the greenhouse to great 
advantage. 
BELLAMOSA. A dark blue of the type of Belladonna with the 
color of the old Formosum variety, but not liable to mildew like 
the latter and of stronger growth.
