VARIED HARDY PERENNIALS 
Here are flowers for many uses; just a sort of sample 
selection from the several hundreds of kinds of hardy 
perennials that are offered in our General Catalog No. 35. 
All of them may be safely shipped and transplanted during 
the autumn months, and moved then they will be ready for 
the early and vigorous spring start that will ensure maxi- 
mum bloom showing the first year. If you do not have, 
or have misplaced, the No. 35 Catalog, just let us know, and 
we will quickly get a copy into the mails for you.
