HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Direct to You From the Largest Plant Grower in the West 
Grown in the West and fresh dug for your order, these plants will give the utmost satisfaction. 
The 
varieties offered are the most popular and best sellers in our big list. These perennials supplemented with 
Roberts’ Gladiolus, should give a garden of all-summer color from which many choice flowers can be cut. 
Cultural Suggestions. Unpack your shipment immediately upon receipt and plant at once if possible. If 
planting is to be done later, moisten the roots and heel in shady moist ground. 
Perennials do best in well-prepared, moderately rich garden soil. Avoid the use of manures when plant- 
ing. The best growth is secured by heavy watering at intervals of about a week.
