PERENNIAL PLANTS 
Prices: Perennials are 35c each; $3.60 a dozen unless otherwise noted. 
The hardy plants, whose roots and crowns live through the winter and bloom year after year, are so varied in habit of 
growth and color of flower that varieties can be found to fill most any requirement. Whether you plan a tall screen or ground 
cover, succession of color in the garden or a profusion of cut-flowers you will find among the perennials plenty of material 
from which to make your selection. 
Most perennials will thrive in average garden soil. Some require a bit of shade or a soil laden with humus. For best 
results, the gardener should learn the needs of his plants and place them where they will be happy, supply such culture as 
will ensure healthy growth and a wealth of bloom. 
For those who wish to know more about the hardy plants, we recommend “The Book of Perennials” by Hottes.

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The garden year comes to a close

generous Chrysanthemums. No other 
hardy plant can match the rare autumn 
shades that are to be found here. Plants
