Colez HARDY PERENNIALS 0% seviy Peawcing nt 
Great variation in color range and flower form, in combination with widely differing growth 
habits, certainly makes perennials the main-stay of the garden. They will bloom year after 
year with a minimum of care. In the following pages, we have tried to list the finest of the 
older kinds and the very cream of the newer ones. We will ship the type of plant we con- 
sider best for transplanting, in some cases pot plants and in others field-grown clumps cr 
divisions. Sizes in descriptions indicate height at maturity. 
PLANTING AIDS 
Never bury hardy perennials, as this will assure their loss. As a rule, 
they prefer a well drained, loamy soil that is either neutral or slightly 
alkaline (sweet). Always plant at the depth they have previously grown. 
Be sure the soil is well prepared. Well-rotted manure or bone meal, well 
mixed with the soil, is advantageous. Never allow any ‘‘commercial’’ 
fertilizer to come into direct contact with any part of the plant.
