HARDY PERENNIALS 73 
Our collection of Perennials, which affords' such a won¬ 
derful and colorful display every Summer and Fall, is the 
largest and best in the Rocky Mountain region, and we are 
continually adding to our stock. For our climate in the 
Northwest there is no question but that they are by far 
the best class of plants.for those who desire a profusion of 
bloom with the least expenditure of effort. Do not confuse 
our perennial plants with the many seedlings on the market 
offered at so-called bargain prices. Our plants are grown 
in pots and are ready to bloom for you, having passed at 
least one winter in our outdoor perennial frames. When 
you buy perennial plants buy the best of proven acclimated 
strains and varieties such as ours, for they are a permanent 
planting.
