Hardy Perennials, Ferns, Grasses and Herbs 
Perennials afford a huge assortment of plants useful in the development 
of every garden. This list of ours — one of the larger stocks grown in 
America — contains many sorts for many purposes. The largest single class 
is rightly that of the Bed or Border Perennials. Other classes are plants for 
Cut-Flowers, Edging Plants, Ground Cover Plants, Herbs, Rock Garden 
Plants, Wild Garden Plants. There is a certain amount of overlapping of 
those classes — certain varieties being in two or more classifications. Such 
plants are doubly useful — particularly in the small garden, where each 
plant must contribute the utmost of beauty and utility. 
In the descriptions of each variety, a Key letter is given denoting the 
classification or classifications in which that variety falls.

The plants we offer in this list of Perennials are usually two-year field- 
grown plants or equivalent divisions. Certain sorts, which transplant better 
from pots, are pot-grown and are necessarily somewhat lighter in grade 
than the field-grown. Those varieties do, however, give definitely superior 
results when started in pots.
