CORLISS BROS., INC., NURSERIES 
GLOUCESTER AND IPSWICH, MASS. 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
Perennials include most of the finest flowering plants as well 
as the foundation material for practically every well-planned 
garden. They exist in infinite variety, size, and color, and their 
period of bloom covers the entire season. A well-chosen collection 
of perennials provides a great source of garden interest. 
The material we offer is strong, field-grown stock with the 
exception of some varieties which transplant better from pots. 
AND ROCK-PLANTS 
We strongly advise the purchase of perennials in quantities 
of 3 or more, since a group of 3 or more plants makes a much 
more striking and effective color mass in the garden. Please 
remember that 5 or more plants of one variety may be pur¬ 
chased at the cost per 10 and that 25 or more of one kind may 
be purchased at the price per 100 when such price is quoted. 
★ADAPTABLE TO ROCK-GARDENS 
OVERSIZE CLUMPS OBTAINABLE AT SPECIAL PRICES 
IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ. All Perennials are perishable. Therefore, express shipments are advisable. Upon receipt, plants should be 
immediately unpacked and checked. If you are not ready to plant them in permanent places, they should be heeled in, in an upright position, and 
the roots kept moist until they are planted. This method will keep your plants in prime condition.
