Cherry Mill Perennials 
/ 
Herbaceous perennials form one of the most important 
parts of the garden. Although the majority reach their 
height in May and June, there are many which will con¬ 
tinue to bloom throughout the season. 
There is such an immense range of species and var¬ 
ieties that we do not attempt to grow them all and offer 
only those which have proved the most hardy and satis¬ 
factory for these climatic conditions. We are constantly 
adding new varieties of merit. 
Strong Field Grown Plants of the following varieties 
are priced at 25 cents each or $2.50 per dozen unless other¬ 
wise noted. 
Aconitum fisheri. (Monkshood). These plants have a 
beautiful foliage of medium green. Flower stems 
are exceptionally strong and bear large cone-shaped 
tops of an intense deep blue. September. H. 2 feet. 
Aconitum sparksii. Foliage of an intense deep green and 
flowers the bluest of all aconitums. Choice. July.

spreading habit and round dark green foliage. Makes 
a good ground cover for shady places. Flowers a 
delightful blue. 6 to 8 inches. May and June.

most useful perennials for rock gardens, as it is only
