HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
For Permanent Planting in Borders or Beds. 
The collection offered herein, though large, yet by no means covers our entire collection. New varieties 
are constantly being added. Many rare and beautiful subjects are not catalogued at all, owing to the difii- 
culty of keeping on liand a stock to meet demands. It is well to seek from us anything in the. line of hard 3 ' 
herbaceous perennials that maj' be needed, though we inaj^ not quote them, as, if we do not happen to 
have it in stock, we are probabi 3 ' in the best position of an 3 " one in America to obtain the needed item at 
shortest reasonable time and at current rates.
