PERENNIALS 
The importance of hardy perennial plants in the garden is well known to the Gardener 
and Flower Lover. They will come up year after year and with reasonable care will increase 
in size and beauty as time goes on. 
Careful selection of varieties will enable you to enjoy hardy flowers from early spring 
until snow flies in the fall. 
Planting is most successfully done in early fall or early spring and better effects are ob¬ 
tained when three or more plants of a kind are used. In large gardens, a dozen or more of 
a kind should be used, simplifying the care and creating bold, more pleasing effects. 
All our perennial plants are field grown (with the exception of a few items that trans¬ 
plant better from pots) and each order is freshly dug, packed immediately, and shipped the 
same day. As these plants are highly perishable shipment is made by parcel post or express. 
It is essential to order early, because early planting and successful results go hand in 
hand. 
* Indicates plants suitable for rock garden use. 
ACHILLEA — YARROW 
Showy perennials for the rock garden or border, 
some of which are valuable as cut flowers. The foli¬ 
age of these plants is highly aromatic, elegantly cut, 
and in some varieties of silvery appearance which 
adds considerably to the beauty of the plant. The 
flowers range in color from v/hite thru yellow to rose. 
The dwarf species are suitable for the rock garden 
and margins of the border, and the taller ones for the 
middle of the border. 
CULTURE. The different varieties will succeed in any good, 
ordinary soil in the sunny border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 
8 to 10 inches apart. All varieties grow very freely, therefore it 
is advisable to lift, divide, and replant every third year. Cut the 
shoots back directly after the plants cease flowering. 
Achillea filipendulina 
FERNLEAF YARROW 
2 to 3 feet. June to September. Flowers bright yellow in flat 
topped heads and with lace-like foliage. Nice to plant among 
shrubbery, evergreens, or for the back of the border.

OUR PERENNIAL GUARANTEE 
1. We exert every effort to supply stock that 
is true to name. Should it prove otherwise — we 
will replace at any time and at our expense. 
2. Safe arrival of all plants, that must fulfill 
our claims, is assured. Failing in this they should 
be returned to us immediately for adjustment or 
replacement. 
With the knowledge that perennials are lost 
from either delay in unpacking and planting or 
improper planting and maintenance, which are 
conditions over which we have no control, we 
cannot honor claims for adjustment or replace¬ 
ment unless they are received within two days 
after delivery of the goods.
