ABOUT PERENNIALS 
A body can’t have everything, but if you ever come 
close in the flower line, it will be with perennials. 
Every year they come back, without much fussing 
on your part, to bloom and bloom and then bloom some 
more. 
Give them a little sun, a little shade, a little care 
and then forget them until they bloom your garden 
full of fragrance and color. 
HOW TO PLANT 
FREE 
Don’t let anybody say perennials are hard to raise. 
They aren’t. In fact, there isn’t much of anything 
easier to grow that’s anywhere near as pretty. 
Plant in good soil, worked up well with top of clump 
about y 2 inch below the surface. Mulch in fall with 
straw to prevent heaving. 
That’s all there is to it. Is that hard? 
Customers who order or get to¬ 
gether a club order of $2.00 or more 
of perennials from pages 34, 35 and 
36 may select any 19c perennial on 
these pages and I'll send it to you 
extra. 
Tes, I’ll send the other free gifts 
on page 3, too.
