HARDY PERENNIAL 
Aconitum Fischeri

Tlie Perennial Plants catalogued here are grown in our nurseries 
at Farmingdale, Long Island. We do not make any super claims with 
regard to them except to say that the Long Island climate is conducive 
to rugged plants. Here we have humid summers and cold, wet 
winters. These extremes of weather tend to produce “tough” plants 
which will thrive anywhere. We do not offer as hardy, plants which 
are definitely not so. 
You may plant them with every confidence.
