WMichll's Hardy Perennial Plants 
Perennial Plants have a fascination that captures the imagination, garden favorites and justly so, for 
there is no time during the entire flowering season when some variety is not in bloom. Beginning in early 
April they provide a constantly varying pageant of color through the summer. They appear year after year 
and as each variety has a fixed time for blooming be sure to make careful selection. An effective combination 
is Peonies with Daffodils and Lilies. The rooting system of these will not interfere with each other, while the 
colors will enhance the beauty of your garden. 
We wish to emphasize the necessity of planting at the proper time. To guide your planting schedule we 
have compiled a list of Hardy Perennial Plants that should be planted in October and November.
