All gardeners and lovers of flowers know about the importance of 
hardy plants in the garden—how they grow larger and finer each 
year when given modest care. You can enjoy the blooms of Perennial 
Plants from early spring until late fall if you use a little care in select¬ 
ing your varieties. The most successful garden can be obtained by 
planting early in the spring and early in the fall. It is advisable to 
have at least 3 plants of a variety, so as to make a clump; use more 
if your space permits. You will find that your garden will be easier 
to care for and more satisfactory. 
We offer the better varieties and some of the latest novelties. Be 
sure to keep in mind that all of our plants are field-grown and are not 
small divisions or pot-plants as are sornetimes sent out. When it is 
necessary to send pot-plants, they will be well developed, strong 
and husky, so as to give you fine results the first season.
