HARDY PERENNIALS © 
Perennials are becoming more and more 
popular with the increase in gardening. No 
home grounds are now completely planted 
without a border of these continuously bloom- 
ing plants. If you plan carefully you can have 
flowers all year. For your selection there is 
listed here a wide variety of those dependable, 
hardy plants, that once established, assure you 
of a succession of blossoms without the constant 
trouble of replanting. Prices of perennials, 
except as noted: 25c each; 12 for $2.50, 
Postpaid. Strong field-grown plants that will 
bloom the first year. 
FALL BLOOMING ASTERS 
Plant these brilliant fall-blooming hardy Asters 
and prolong your blooming season a full 
month. Have your garden a place of dazzling 
splendor when all about is brown and sere. 
They will bring a world of color during late 
September, all of October, and on _ into 
November until heavy freezing kills the flow- 
ers. These plants stand our Minnesota 
winters unprotected. 
ADORABLE—Best true pink hardy aster. 
Habit and growth are similar to Harrington 
Pink but color is slightly deeper salmon 
Dinko 5c. 
MOUNT EVEREST —-The finest and best 
white aster. It forms very tall, well-shaped 
pointed pyramids with an abundance of 
lateral growths, which flower right down to 
the ground. Makes wonderful bouques as 
cut flowers. 35c. 
BLUE GEM—Large lovely flowers of blue 
with a yellow center, best blue in cultivation. 
September until frost. 3 to 4 feet. 35c. 
BEECHWOOD CHALLENGER — This va- 
riety is in our opinion the closest to red we 
have been able to come so far in Hardy 
Asters. It is free-flowering, of tedium 
height, and brilliant crimson-red color. The 
flowers are freely produced. Planted together 
with Mount Everest, the contrast is striking.
