Flowering 
Perennials 
FROM 
EARLY SPRING UNTIL 
LATE FALL 
You too can have flowers to enjoy all summer from a border of perennial plants. 
This border planned and planted by Holm & Olson. 
LOWERING perennials are the backbone of the flower garden, most of them repeating faithfully each year 
with a minimum of attention. These plants live in the open ground. Many are useful as cut flowers, 
others for‘border displays or the Rock Garden. The best effect is usually produced by setting the plants out 
in separate groups of three or five of one variety. 
You will find listed here not only the older favorites but many new, choice varieties and novelties. 
H. & O. Perennials are sturdy 2 year old, field-grown plants that are dug freshly to your order. We make 
no attempt to compete with the ordinary offerings of Perennial plants. 
H. & O. grow and distribute the 
better strains of quality plants. Come to the Nursery and see our plants. 
*ROCK GARDEN PLANTS. Varieties marked with a star (*) are adapted to rockeries.
