Ha^\j Perennial Plants 
Perennials are the backbone of the garden! If, when planted, 
they are given the soil and surroundings best suited to each, they 
will live and bloom for years with a minimum care. 
We have a fine collection of the better things including some of 
the latest novelties, and by careful selection of varieties you can 
have bloom from early spring until frost. 
Try some of the newer things and enjoy new types as well as 
new colors of the flowers with plants adapted to every situation.
