Flowering 
PLANTS 
The Perennial plants which live 
from year to year play a most im- 
portant part in colorful gardens. 
They form the permanent, or nearly 
permanent background of the bor- 
ders, beds, and marginal plantings, 
making gardens that increase in 
interest and beauty with every year, 
and change their aspect with every 
change of season. 
Perennials should be planted in 
groups or masses, at least three of 
one variety or color, for the showiest 
effects in the garden, and for suf- 
ficient cut flowers for interior dec- 
oration. Paul J. Howard’s Perennials 
are pot-grown, or field grown, ac- 
cording to season. We are constant- 
ly adding new varieties to our splen- 
did list.

Japanese Anemones 
WINDFLOWERS 
(Anemone japonica) 
Japanese Anemones are among our most 
valuable perennials, blooming as they do 
from August into winter, and preferring 
shady situations where so many plants will 
not thrive. Our California Flowerland select- 
ed strain produces larger flowers of waxy 
texture; the plants are more vigorous and 
free flowering, with fine deep green glossy 
foliage. They make beautiful beds in the 
shade, and the flowers are exquisite for 
cutting. 
CRESTED PINK. Lovely pink flowers, the cen- 
ters composed of small petals, surrounded by 
rows of large graceful outer petals. 
QUEEN CHARLOTTE. Graceful 
flowers of La France pink. 
WHITE QUEEN. Perfectly formed flowers of 
pure white, with golden yellow center.

ers, each 40c.

large smooth heart-shaped leaves of deep green 
and long graceful sprays of small forget-me-not 
flowers of rich bright blue. Very hardy and free 
flowering, succeeding in rich garden soil, in full 
sun or partial shade. 4-inch pots, each 35c.
