HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
GENERAL LIST 
The Old-Fashioned Flower Garden 
Most of our Perennial Plants are supplied from either pot grown plants or field grown plants which have been 
divided and potted, and grown into strong established stock, thus permitting a longer planting season and assuring 
much more uniform start and ultimate success. Such varieties as Peonies, Iris, Hemerocallis, etc., are necessarily 
handled from field grown roots.
