PERENNIALS 
We have one of the largest and most complete assortments of Hardy Perennials, Alpine and Rock 
Garden plants of any nursery in the Middle West. Our plants are, except as specified, field grown, 
properly transplanted to give the necessary root development for high class landscape planting. 
We have approximately 60 acres of overhead irrigation, devoted to the propagation of our 
Perennial and Rock Garden plants. We have searched the world over for new varieties of seeds and 
plants. 
All perennials should be shipped by express. They are very perishable and should not be included 
in a freight shipment. 
RG indicates the adaptability for rock garden planting. 
The perennials that we are offering in this section are bare root, most suitable for landscape 
planting. If you are interested in packaged perennials, bulbs, etc., please write for our special price
