You will like these old-time flowers because they are so easy to grow, so bright in color, and 
give flowers so freely. While we call them “old-time'' they are not old-fashioned—with nearly 
all there have been great increases in size of bloom and additions to the colors. These changes 
put the Hardy Perennials among the foremost plants for modern gardens. All listed in this 
department are reliable in every way, and with a proper selection you may have flowers from 
early spring to late autumn.
