HARDY PERENNIALS 
HE HARDY Perennials are the backbone of the flower-garden, 
most of them repeating faithfully each year with a minimum of 
attention. 
While we have condensed our list considerably this year by rejecting 
many second-rate varieties, we have retained many of the old stand-bys 
which we think are worthy of a place in any garden. After careful trials 
of the newer introductions, we have selected and added to our list only 
those which we consider to be the best, and now have one of the most 
complete lists of reliable, worth-while Perennials to be found in this country. 
AQUILEGIA . Columbine 
One of the best-loved perennials. Best planted in groups of three.

RUDBECKIA . White Lustre 
A stately new white perennial for summer 
borders, Rudbeckia, White Lustre, is bound to 
be popular. The creamy white petals are 
accentuated by a large gold cone which re- 
sembles the rich colormg often found in old 
lustre pitchers. The plants average 3 feet in 
height, with sturdy stems, and are not easily 
damaged in stormy weather. When the blooms 
first open, the petals grow upward; as the 
flowers approach maturity, the petals flatten 
in true daisy-like fashion; then the developing 
cone grows larger, and the petals droop. 
Free flowering m habit, the blooming period 
extends from late June until September. A 
vigorous grower, this new Rudbeckia is winter- 
hardy and grows well under ordinary condi- 
tions. It seems to have no insect enemies. 
Young potted plants that will bloom nicely 
this coming summer and fall.
