■p erennials 
f you are planning your flower garden for permanence, use peren¬ 
nials. They are dependable, each flowering in a particular season, dying down 
to rest in winter, and reappearing with increased beauty in the spring. They 
are invaluable in the border, for their sizes vary from the stately, luxuriant 
delphiniums to the tiny, low-growing border plants. In color, they range from 
purest white, through every shade of the pastels, to brilliant scarlets and deep, 
rich purples. Because they flower so accurately within a given time, it is pos¬ 
sible to plan exquisite groupings of color and form. It is simple, also, to arrange 
for a succession of bloom throughout the entire garden season. 
As a whole, the perennials are a sturdy group, thriving with little effort, and 
increasing in size and beauty from year to year. They are quick, however, to 
show abundant appreciation for cultivating and feeding. 
Upon request, ive will be glad to send you a copy of our perennial list. 
"Yet, the great ocean hath no tone 
of power 
Mightier to reach the soul, in 
thought’s hushed hour, 
Than yours, ye Lilies!”

Perennials anil annuals, carefully selected
