__ The Perennial plants which live from year to year play a most 
important part in colorful gardens. They form the permanent, or 
nearly permanent background of the borders, 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 sufficient cut flowers for interior decoration. Paul J. Howard’s 
Perennials are pot-grown, or field grown, according to season. We 
are constantly adding new varieties to our splendid list. 
LOVELY WINDFLOWERS 
Anemone Japonica 
Among our most valuable perennials, they bloom from August into winter, with 
their beautiful flowers raised high above the handsome glossy-leaved plants. These 
Anemones should be freely planted for their great beauty, hardiness, and per- 
manency. One of their great assets is the fact that they thrive in the shade where 
few other flowering plants will succeed. 
Our collection includes the finest improved varieties. 
ALICE. Large rose pink flowers with lilac cen- 
ters. Tall, strong grower. Height 3 feet. 
MARIE MANCHARD. Beautiful new  semi-
