Potted Perennials are not Injured in Transplanting 1 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS 
Hardy perennials are plants which remain permanently in the open ground, whose foliage dies down each autumn, 
coming forth with renewed vigor again in the spring. Perennials add the finishing touch to the yard and garden, bringing 
to them the gaiety and charm of color. While they carry over from year to year, transplanting and renewing parts of 
perennial borders from time to time is essential — some varieties every year, such as chrysanthemums; or every third year, 
such as iris. Many go five to ten years before renewal is necessary. Some, notably babysbreath and peonies, are longer- 
lived than many trees. 
All plants offered here have been grown in our own gardens and are fully winter hardy under our conditions. They 
are robust, well-rooted, blooming size except as otherwise noted. Divisions will be supplied where that is the trade custom, 
as in the case of iris, daylilies, Shasta Daisies and other mat-forming plants. Others will be delivered in bands, pots or dug 
from field, each species being handled according to its needs by methods that insure the strongest possible plants.

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Richards’ modern ’mums are really hardy. ‘They 
spend the winter in the open field, with no protection 
whatever, and take the weather as it comes—or out 
they go. 
They are of compact habit, especially adapted to 
garden decoration as shown in the photograph to the 
left. Even those listed as “tall cutflower” rarely grow 
over three feet tall—staking is seldom needed. 
No flower is easier to grow. Exhibition-quality 
flowers are secured with less effort than, with any other 
flowers. We give you complete cultural directions, in- 
cluding an understandable outline of disbudding for giant 
standards, with every order. 
Modern ’mums last for weeks in the garden and 
many days when cut. These inevitable September frosts 
—even hard ones down in the low 20’s—do not harm 
them for garden display. Following these, in October’s 
Indian Summer a few dozen plants will yield armloads 
of the finest cutflowers.
