PERENNIALS by TUTTLE BROS. 
To you who have less time than in former years to spend in your Flower Gardens we particularly 
recommend our wide selection (nearly 500 varieties) of Perennials. Annual flowers must not only be 
replaced each spring and fall but require much attention. Perennials, in most instances, however, bloom 
for a number of seasons with a minimum of care. 
Please note, following descriptions, approximate heights plants will grow. 
PRICES: All varieties, unless otherwise noted, gal. or half-gal. containers, 45c each.
