Hardy Perennials 
Perennials are becoming more and more the feature of the American gardens. 
No doubt the reason for this is because with perennials the garden scene changes 
from week to week as each variety begins to bloom, always offering the in¬ 
terested gardener something to look forward to. In this respect, they are much 
more appealing to the American than annuals, which are quite the same through¬ 
out the summer and have the tendency to become monotonous. 
The perennials are especially adaptable to informal plantings, lending them¬ 
selves to variations according to the taste of the individual gardener. 
We are glad to say that this year we are offering a larger list of perennials 
than ever before. Many of the varieties are new and quite rare, and all plants 
offered have been grown in our Gardens. Our perennial beds have been well 
prepared with rotted manure and peat moss, which assures our customers of 
getting plants with a good strong root system, which is the most important 
part of the plant. 
If you have the opportunity, stop in at our Gardens from time to time dur¬ 
ing the blooming season, at which time it is easy to select plants according to 
your taste. 
Varieties marked ^ are suitable for growing in shady or partially shady places.
