There is a world of difference in perennial plants. Those grown thickly in beds make 
spindly, weak plants with poor roots. Our perennials are big, transplanted, hardy plants 
that were grown in the fields in wide rows, with plenty of room for both tops and roots. 
Such plants naturally cost a great deal more to grow, but THEY ARE WORTH MUCH 
ALYSSUM, SAXATILE COMPACTUM 
MORE. They live longer, grow better and bloom more freely. 

ALL PERENNIALS ON PAGES 52, 53, 54, 55 ARE PRICED THE SAME.
