Hardy Perennial Plants 
Of the many plants that are grown for ornamental purposes, there are few', if any, w'hich have sprung more rapidly into popular 
favor than the old-fashioned hardy garden flowers. 
With a proper selection of varieties, one can have perpetual bloom from early spring until frost. These hardy perennial plants 
ure especially effective when planted in open border, having for a background a hedge, fence or trellis, or interspersed with hardy 
shrubs or evergreens. 
We offer a few varieties which have given excellent results in this locality.
