Rock-Garden and 
HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
HE Perennials are the permanent plants of the garden and form the 
background of the picture to be filled in with Annuals and Bulbs. 
They appreciate regular light feeding, cultivation and water when 
Mother Nature forgets rain. Divide the clumps when they get too big or 
show decay in the center. 
The rock-garden provides places for rare miniatures which would be lost 
in a bed or border. Fill each pocket with the proper soil-mixture required by 
the intended occupant. 
Price, 25 cts. each, 65 cts. for 3, $2.50 per doz., except where otherwise noted. 
Prices given are prepaid where the order amounts to $2 or more. See page 143.
