There is a world of difference in perennial plants. Those grown thickly in beds make spindly, 
weak plants with poor roots. Our perennials are big, transplanted, hardy plants that were grown in 
the fields in wide rows, with plenty of room for both tops and roots. Such plants naturally cost a great 
deal more to grow, but THEY ARE WORTH MUCH MORK. They live longer, 
grow better and bloom more freely.
