For ten years we have carefully developed 
a real Perennial department, testing not only 
novelties, but old varieties, to be sure they 
will do well with us. Some things prefer certain 
conditions not possible here, so we contract 
with specialists who produce the best in those 
few items, enabling us to offer a collection 
that, for most garden purposes, is complete. 
To fully describe each plant in this limited 
space was impractical, so this reference chart 
was designed to help you determine—what, 
where, and how to use perennials. The chart 
itself is self-explanatory, and you will notice 
the “flower spectrum” has been used to indi¬ 
cate color—intermediate colors and shades are 
signified by careful placement of marking in 
the color columns. 
A separate listing of Ferns (page 117) 
and Herbs (page 116) seemed more con¬ 
venient, and to conserve space the quantity 
prices are computed on a percentage basis as 
specified in the chart heading.
