PERENNIALS BY TUTTLE BROS. 
So many of you, to whom gardening is a new and happy circumstance, have asked us the difference between 
“Annuals” and “Perennials” we think something should be done about it. So, here goes! “Annual” flowering 
plants grow, bloom, reach maturity and die, usually within the space of a few months. Most “Perennials”, at 
least as you receive them from Tuttle Bros., not only bloom the same year but grow more lovable through sev- 
eral or many years. 
Mail orders accepted for delivery on our regular truck 
routes only. See map at bottom of page 3. 
For planting directions see page 30. 
We grow several hundred other valuable varieties not 
listed here. 
AGAPANTHUS africanus. Lily of 
the Nile. Produces in summer huge 
umbels of 30 to 40 individual flowers 
on fleshy four-foot stems. Arching, 
strap-like leaves reach to about one-half 
the height of the flower stem and pre- 
sent a distinctive appearance even in 
winter. We have them in blue or white. 
Plant in sun or partial shade. Each,

AJUGA reptans. An indispensable 
ground cover for shaded locations as it 
will flourish under trees where grass 
will not grow. The plant roots as it 
erows, spreading a thick carpet of me- 
dium sized bronzy-green leaves. In 
spring a generous sprinkling of 2-inch 
blue spikes provide an added attraction. 
Use 100 plants to 75 sq. ft. Flats of 100 
plants, $4.15. 
ALTHAEA rosea. Hollyhock. To 
provide summer color against fence or 
high wall, or when used as a_back- 
ground for lower flowering plants, 
these erect, lofty plants are particularly 
attractive. Require a minimum of water 
and perfect their big cheery double 
bloom in profusion. Sun. 
Double Rose. 
Double Salmon-rose. 
Double Scarlet. 
Double White. 
Double Yellow. 
*ALYSSUM saxatile. Basket of 
Gold. Forms a mat of gray-green fo- 
liage to about 6 inches tall and 2 feet 
in width. In late spring and summer 
big short stemmed racemes of bright 
yellow cover the plant completely. Re- 
quire sun and good drainage.

larly useful in rock gardens. 
ANEMONE japonica. Windflower. 
Japanese anemones are particularly 
suited to shaded locations, are easily 
grown and bloom over a long period— 
from August or September until win- 
ter. Their large flowers, 2 to 3 inches 
in diameter, are profusely borne above 
glossy dark green foliage. 
Prince Henry. Double deep 
1 it. 
Queen Charlotte. 
France pink. 3 ft. 
Single White. 
Whirlwind. Double white. 3 ft. 
AQUILEGIA. Columbine. Their 
nodding warm and soft toned blossoms 
and airy stems will lend in spring a pro- 
nounced yet delicate effect to the moist 
partly shaded garden. 2-4 ft. Enjoys 
leaf mold. 
Crimsonstar. Crimson with white or 
light yellow center. 
Longissima. Exceptionally 
spurred yellow. 
Long Spurred Blue and Lavender. 
Long Spurred Orange and Scarlet. 
Pink Shades. 
Snowqueen. White. 
ARCTOTIS acaulis Hybrid. Only 
lately have we awakened to the great 
possibilities of these most satisfactory 
multi-colored perennials. If planted in 
a well drained soil these silvery gray 
foliaged plants will bear through the 
entire year, almost without interrup- 
tion, great quantities of funnel-shaped 
flowers with the texture of Transvaal 
Daisies. Their marvelous blooms come 
pink.

ASTER. Asters are of easy culture 
succeeding in most any soil with full 
sun or light shade. Through its bloom- 
ing season each happy plant is a perfect 
colorful bouquet. 
Frikarti. From June until January 
this bushy plant will produce constantly 
astonishing quantities of 2-inch single 
blue asters that will thrill you with 
their dainty freshness. Exceptional 
keeping qualities when cut. We rec- 
ommend this variety above all others. 
Syeoaiy 2 itis MEE Kem, 7/SKe:, 
Harrington Pink. We rank this soft 
rose pink variety above any of the 
other pinks. Flowers are larger than 
average and are borne profusely on 
good cutting stems. Sun. 2-3 ft. 
*Little Boy Blue. The most attrac- 
tive dwarf aster of our acquaintance. 
From July until September the compact 
little plant is almost smothered with 
bright blue flowers. 1 ft. 
*Mauve Cushion. Spreads a close 
mat of vivid green to a height of only 
a few inches. During the fall months 
and some years into December large 
almost stemless asters of delicate mauve 
are crowded over the plant. Well worth 
while. 
Once planted perennials are a more 
or less (depending on the variety) per- 
manent part of your garden. Unlike 
annual flowering plants they are not 
replanted twice each year but continue 
to thrive and brighten your garden for 
many seasons.
