I T IS no wonder that these old-fashioned hardy garden 
flowers continue to increase in popularity, for there is not 
a time during the whole flowering season when some hardy 
perennial is not in bloom, and when, during the late summer, 
few shrubs are in blossom, these little plants may be depended 
on for attractive display. 
Plant perennials this year in the flower-bed where you 
have been using annuals. Every year you have to replace 
annuals, whereas the perennials come up each season with 
very little work or expense. 
\ ou do not need a large estate to have an old-fashioned 
garden or border from which you can pick flowers from early 
spring until late fall. Let us help plan your garden. 
The size mentioned in the description indicates the height 
the plants may be expected to attain at maturity; the month 
represents the season of bloom. 
There are no liner autumn flowers than the modern 
Chrysanthemums and you will like our new' varieties.
