Longissima Hybrids. This new strain is the 
result of crossing A. longissima with Mrs.

therefore, more lasting as a perennial. You 
will find them valuable both for garden dis¬ 
play and for cutting. Tr. pkt. 75c.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION—"A Perennial Date List" 
We have frequent inquiries for information as to length of time it requires various kinds of perennial seeds to germinate and 
suggested dates of sowing. We have prepared a table pretty well covering the entire list. This table will answer those questions 
and will be of help, especially to the beginner, in growing perennials. 
A copy of “Perennial Date List” is yours for the asking.
