Perennials are plants which flower several years 
in succession and are used for permanent plantings. 
We list with perennials the biennials which are not 
usually treated as annuals, and those that are in 
perfection the second year. All varieties listed on 
this and pages 41 to*48 are hardy perennials unless 
otherwise stated. 
We take pride in offering our stock of perennial

plants to the public because of their superior quality. 
Our plants are not light grade seedlings like those 
offered by so many growers at bargain prices. Neither 
are they overcrowded clumps which have outlived 
their usefulness and are difficult to transplant. They 
are of the proper age to insure their being success- 
fully transplanted. All our plants are free from 
disease and insects and carefully selected to be true

Astilbes are of easiest culture, doing particularly well in a semi-shady 
situation. They also do well as pot plants. If grown out of doors, the 
many branched, feathery heads of flowers are produced in abundance dur- 
ing June and July. When grown indoors, they can be foreed for winter 
and early spring blooming. Fine for cutting.
