Perennials and Rock-Plants 
P ERENNIALS are those plants which come up each spring and die down to the ground in the fall. Each 
variety has a definite blooming season and a selection may be made so that you may have flowers from early 
spring until fall. Perennials require but little care. Give them a good garden soil and ordinary weather 
conditions and they will grow and increase in numbers from year to year. 
Use Perennials in beds, in borders by themselves, or in front of shrubbery, in rockeries, and, of course, in the 
formal garden. In general, best results are obtained by massing several plants of one variety together. This will 
give a good color effect and avoid that spotty appearance which is objectionable where too many kinds are used. 
We have specialized in Perennials since 1903. Improved strains and new varieties are added to our list each 
year. We shall be glad to assist in the selection of varieties and in making suggestions for their planting. Planting 
plans and estimates are usually supplied without charge or obligation.
