HARDY PERENNIALS . . . 
Varieties starred (*) are suitable for Rock Garden 
Price: 30c per plant, 3 plants 75c, 12 plants 
$3.00, unless otherwise noted 
The above illustrates an exhibit we made in the 
Wilmington, Delaware Show, held at the DuPont 
Hotel this past fall. You will note many of the 
varieties of Perennials listed below, as well as some 
of the different types of Dahlias listed on the pages 
following the Perennials. 
Special attention is called at this time to our 
Delphiniums of which we offer very fine new types. 
The Sir Galahad type of white varieties is proving 
extremely popular, since they make a nice foil for 
the different shades of blue usually grown in a 
garden. 
There are several other novelties listed herewith 
that are worthy of special merit, such as: Campa¬ 
nula Blue Bedder, Buddleia Orchid Beauty, etc., etc. 
Good varieties in new Perennials are scarce, so 
when something really worthwhile puts in an ap¬ 
pearance, it is of great interest to the flower grow¬ 
ing public.
