IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ. All 
Perennials are perishable. Therefore, 
express shipments are advisable. 
Upon receipt, plants should be im¬ 
mediately unpacked and checked. If 
you are not ready to plant them in 
permanent places, they should be 
heeled in, in an upright position, and 
the roots kept moist until they are 
planted. This method will keep your 
plants in prime condition. 
Perennials include most of the finest flowering 
plants as well as the foundation material for prac¬ 
tically every well planned garden. They exist in 
infinite variety, size, and color, and their period of 
bloom covers the entire season. A well chosen 
collection of perennials provides a great source of 
garden interest. 
The material we offer is strong, field-grown stock 
with the exception of some varieties which trans¬ 
plant better from pots. 
We strongly advise the purchase of perennials in 
quantities of 3 or more, since a group of 3 or more 
plants makes a much more striking and effective 
color mass in the garden. Please remember that 
6 or more plants of one variety may be purchased at the 
cost per dozen. 
Note. —Figures after the description and blooming 
dates represent the approximate height reached by 
the perennials under favorable conditions.
