Our aim in selecting strains and varieties has been to grow only the best of the old and 
to constantly add new varieties which are worth while. You will find our list represen¬ 
tative of perennial plants for border, rockery, cutting and flower gardens. Much consid¬ 
eration has been given to hardiness as well as outstanding characteristics of flower 
and foliage. Note the substantial saving on three plants of a kind.
