HARDY PERENNIALS 
The Most Dependable Varieties 
From early Spring to late Autumn there are always flowers to enjoy where Perennials are planted, 
and the blooms are equally enjoyable growing in beds or borders on the lawn or cut for table and home 
decoration. 
Once planted they continue to bloom and increase in beauty each succeeding year. 
Perennials require little attention (weeding and watering during the growing season and mulching 
with fertilizer in the Fall) and, as each variety has a fixed period to flower, a succession of bloom can be 
enjoyed throughout the season. 
The following table makes easy the selection of proper varieties.
