, HARDY PERENNIAL 
(oCe*PLANTS aeuaasas 
When winter's drab days are past and spring breaks forth in all its glory, is the time 
that our perennial gardens are really appreciated. We want them for cutting and for 
masses in the garden; for their long succession of blooms and because they will per- 
form for us year after year with a minimum of care. In the following pages we have 
tried to list the very finest of the old, as well as many of the newer 
novelties. All are covered by Cole’s generous guarantee policy 
listed on the inside front cover. 
















Planting Aids 
Never bury hardy perennials, as this will assure their loss. As a rule, 
they prefer a well drained, loamy soil that is either neutral or slightly 
alkaline (sweet). Always plant at the depth they have previously grown. 
Be sure the soil is well prepared. Well-rotted manure or bone meal, well 
mixed with the soil, is advantageous. Never allow any “commercial” 
fertilizer to come into direct contact with any part of the plant. Spring is 
the only really successful time to transplant most hardy perennials. We 
cannot guarantee fall shipped plants. 
BABY’S BREATH

Bristol Fairy. A bouquet in your garden. The finishing touch 
to a bouquet in your house. Glistening, pure white, double 
flowers, lush gray-green foliage blends with all colors or 
combinations of colors. Vigorous growth with bloom heads 
up to 3 feet tall. Repeats bloom if kept cut. Hardy, disease 
and pest free. A most desirable plant. 75c each; $2.00 for 3; 
$6.00 for 10. 

Flamingo. A lovely, truly pink counterpart of the beautiful 
Bristol Fairy, with the same foamy heads of blossom, but the 
color is a delightful pink which deepens as the blooming 
season goes into autumn. Strong, vigorous growth. Perfect 
for cutting. $1.00 each; $2.75 for 3; $8.50 for 10. 
As our supply of these lovely flowers is a little limited, order 
early, so that you may be sure to receive your plants.
