PERENNIAL PLANTS—(HARDY EVERYWHERE) 
The reason Perennials are so popular, they take care of themselves, 
and require little or no care. Plant them in good soil, or poor soil; they 
stand heat, cold, drought and neglect. Of course they respond to good 
- treatment too, but you can neglect them without fatal results. This year 
we have priced our Perennial plants so low, no home can afford to be
