Old and New PERENNIALS 
Perennials have never been so popular as they are at the present time. They are planted once and 
they are always there, living through the winter with little or no protection, the flowers become 
better as the plant grows older. The old familiar flowers that made grandmother’s garden a favorite 
place are still dear to the hearts of modern home-maker’s of today. 
Rock Gardens, so popular with flower lovers, are no longer found only in parks or large estates, 
but can be had in the small city garden as well. They work in particularly with a pool, either formal 
or informal. Because of the growing interest of this type of perennial, we are including a few of those 
best suited for rock garden culture, and are marking them (*). All perennials prepaid.
