JUNIOR PERENNIALS 
Here will be quick (and permanent) garden beauty from 
low cost. The hardy perennials listed below, we call them 
“Junior Perennials”, are simply young plants, one season 
old, that are dug and sold directly from the seed-beds, not 
having as yet been lined out into spaced rows. The seeds 
from which these perennials were grown were mostly sown 
in the seed-beds late last autumn, but of some kinds the 
sowing was made very early this spring. They have 
had a full season of growth, and are close to one year old, 
but still being in the seed-bed, they average a bit smaller 
than the lined out plants in the nursery that have had 
more space. They are well-rooted and well-grown. Most 
of them will bloom this coming spring and summer, and 
they will live for years. Junior Perennials are available 
for shipment only during the months of September, October 
and November. Definitely, they will not be supplied at any 
other time of the year. We give here brief descriptions 
only. See our General Catalog, sent gladly on request to 
those who do not already have it, for full word-«ictures.
