Ses: 
Dwarf Iberis—Hardy Candytuft 
HARDY CANDYTUFT or IBERIS 
One of the loveliest of the semi-dwarf plants. Foliage is almost 
evergreen, remaining green until almost New Years. Each spring 
the plant is covered so densely with white, snowflake-shaped 
blooms, that it really resembles a small mound of snow. Very 
hardy, easily grown and requires only average garden soil. Reaches 
only about 12 inches in height, which makes it invaluable for 
the foreground in perennial beds or for low borders. 2-yr., well- 
rooted plants, 35¢ each; 4 for $1.00; 10 for $2.00, postpaid. 
HIBISCUS 
Truly the ‘‘show-boy” of the perennials. Shoots start each year 
from the ground and grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet. They then 
bear great numbers of giant bell-shaped blooms measuring six 
inches ‘or more across. Rich in color and hardy as an oak. Won- 
derful for background subjects or for an informal high summer 
hedge. Nice 2-yr. roots, only 25c¢ each; 5 for $1.00, postpaid. 

PLEASE NOTE: Perennials, Strawberries, and _ plaints 
shipped from pots will not be sent 
until proper time for planting, when new growth has started. This will 
insure immediate and better results for the customer.

PLANTING DISTANCES 
Perennials should be planted 18 
inches apart as a general rule. Some 
large growing types may need to be 
planted slightly farther apart. For 
borders and edging with dwarf va- 
rieties you will want to plant 6 to 
12 inches apart. We give the aver- 
age matured height in the descrip- 
tions of all perennials so that you 
may find it easy to plan your plant- 
ings.
