HARDY PERENNIALS 
Hardy Perennials are Useful For Many Purposes 
From early Spring to late Autumn there are always flowers to enjoy where the hardy 
Perennials are planted. Best of all there are varieties for planting in any situation and to 
bloom at any time—Spring, Summer, or Autumn. 
By planting Perennials any one can be sure to have flowers,—not only this year but in 
years to come, too; for once planted Perennials continue to bloom and increase in value each 
succeeding year. 
Avoid planting only one of a kind owing to the bizarre effect it produces—alwavs plant 
3 or more of a kind.

or in the shrubbery border, and there are many that
