Ss C, oles Hardy Perennials 
\ SENT POSTPAID 
\ The wide color range, their varied flower forms, and many different habits of growth, have earned for 
Hardy Perennials the title “Mainstays of the Garden.” A great part of their popularity, though, is due to their 
ease of cultivation and the fact that they bloom year after year with only the slightest attention. We do not 
attempt to list here a large number of the immense range of species and varieties, but offer only the choicest 
of new introductions and the indispensable old favorites. All of them are strong, healthy plants, grown by 
experts, that, with reasonably good culture, will surely bloom the first year and give the utmost satisfaction. 
Figures after descriptions indicate height at maturity.
