GLOUCESTER AND IPSWICH MASS., 47 

Hardy Perennial and 
Rock Plants 
Perennials include most of the finest flowering plants as well 
as the foundation material for practically every well planted 
garden. They exist in infinite variety, size, and color, and their 
period of bloom covers the entire season. A well chosen col- 
lection of perennials provides a great source of garden interest. 
The material we offer is strong, field-grown stock with the 
exception of some varieties which transplant better from pots. 
We strongly advise the purchase of perennials in quantities 
of 3 or more of one kind, since a group of 3 or more plants 
makes a much more striking and effective color mass in the 
garden. Please remember that 6 or more plants*of one variety 
may be purchased at the dozen rate. 
Note. — Figures after the description and blooming dates 
represent the approximate height reached by the perennials 
under favorable conditions.
