HARDY 
PERENNIALS 
Hardy perennials are the mainstay of 
the garden, because they bloom faith- 
fully year after year with minimum at- 
tention. We list only the choicest va- 
rieties, mostly new and improved sorts, 
which have proven completely reliable. 
All of them are field- or pot-grown and 
have strong, well developed root sys- 
tems—not small divisions. They will 
give you the utmost satisfaction.

able for rock gardens.
