Michells Hardy Perennial Plants 
Perennial Plants have a fascination that captures the imagination, garden favorites and justly so, for there is no time 
during the entire flowering season when some variety is not in bloom. Beginning in early April they provide a constantly 
varying pageant of color through the summer. They appear year after year and as each variety has a fixed time for bloom- 
ing be sure to make careful selection. An effective combination is Peonies with Daffodils and Lilies. The rooting system 
of these will not interfere with each other, while the colors will enhance the beauty of your garden. : 
We wish to emphasize the necessity of planting at the proper time. To guide your planting schedule we have compiled 
a list of Hardy Perennial Plants that should be planted in October and November.
