42 Perennials Are the Backbone of Every Flower Garden 
| Select List of Hardy Perennial Plants 
We can furnish a good selection of hardy plants, 
which may be expected to give successional bloom 
throughout the spring, summer and fall months, 
and, if the choice is left to us, will take special 
care to select such varieties as afford the most satis- 
factory results. 
We also furnish estimates on the laying out, 
planting and improvement of private estates, and 
furnish experienced gardeners to carry out the 
work. We shall be pleased to correspond with 
those contemplating improvements or planting hardy 
stock of any sort. 
A small charge is made for bags and packing on 
nursery stock. 
While we exercise due care and select only the 
strongest and healthiest plants that we ship out we 
can in no way be responsible for failures.
