If our catalogué were twice the pres- 
ent size we would lack room to tell all 
of the good (and not so good) things 
we'd like you to know about our Peren- 
nials. In fact we have space to list only 
a small proportion of the varieties we 
grow. Next time you’re in we’ll tell you 
about the rest of them.
