Ha\b\i Pelennials 
From early Spring to late Autumn there are always 
flowers to enjoy where Perennials are planted in groups, 
in beds or borders. Once planted they continue to bloom 
and increase in beauty each succeeding year. Avoid plant¬ 
ing* only one of a kind owing to the bizarre effect it pro¬ 
duces—always plant 3 or more of a kind. 
Figures immediately following botanical names show 
the ultimate height attained by that variety, and is not 
size furnished. We always supply strong, vigorous plants 
of best planting size. 
Varieties especially recommended for Rock Gar¬ 
dens are indicated by (*) and those that will thrive 
in part shade by (f).
