The term Hardy Perennial is used to distinguish that class of plants whose life cycle is not completed within one or two years, but grow year after year, 
increasing in beauty and size and are hardy enough to withstand the severe weather of the winters. Great Horticulturists and Plant Breeders in many 
parts of the world have spent their lives developing and improving many varieties of these lovely flowers. Not until trial grounds have proven that we 
are giving you something that will benefit your garden, do we offer you a new variety or strain. The Perennial Seeds we offer to you on the following 
pages will please you and will make your garden a thing of beauty for many years.
