Hardy Flowering Plants 
Olds’ Northern Grown Hardy Perennials are all two to three years old, field grown plants. They should not be 
confused with the small one-year seedlings which are so often offered. Perennials should be used for permanent plant¬ 
ings in beds and borders. When once established they will produce an abundance of flowers for years to come with 
practically no attention. ALL PRICES ARE POSTPAID PRICES. Order early. Plants will be sent at the right time for 
planting. 
Note. If you need a large quantity of plants or varieties not listed, send us your list. We will be glad to quote 
you prices as we carry stocks of many items which we do not list.
