Wee rans 

\ partial view of Mr. Phil J. Noonan’s home grounds—"A Little Bit o’ Heaven’’—at Alexandria, Minn., 
planned by Holm & Olson, Landscape Architects. An outstanding Minnesota garden of rare charm 
and beauty maintained by Mr. Noonan and generously shared with his friends and the public. 
LOWERING perennials are the backbone of the flower garden, most of them repeating faithfully each year 
with a minimum of attention. These plants live in the open ground. Many are useful as cut flowers, 
others for border displays or the Rock Garden. The best effect is usually produced by setting the plants out 
in separate groups of three or five of one variety. 
You will find listed here not only the older favorites but many new, choice varieties and novelties. The 
height, season and color of flowers is given. 
H. & O. Perennials are sturdy 2 year old, field-grown plants that are dug freshly to your order. We make 
no attempt to compete with the ordinary offerings of Perennial plants. H. & O. grow and distribute the 
better strains of quality plants.
