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: 35c each; 12 for $3.50, 
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 flowers. 
These plants stand our Minnesota winters un- 
protected.
