Perennials and Rock Garden Plants 
During the past twenty-five years we have given particular atten- 
tion to the growing of hardy perennials, and during these years we 
have tried and tested hundreds of varieties, both old and new. We 
have found that the plants in the following list are best suited for 
our New England gardens. 
Our perennial gardens are adjacent to the office and parking 
area, and our customers take great delight in periodic visits to the 
nursery throughout the growing season to view the succession of 
blooms. A large number, in this way, discover their preferences 
and personally select their plants. 
Our plants are field-grown, and consequently have vigorous 
root systems, which assure successful transplanting. 
The plants are 50c. each, 3 of one variety $1.35, 10 of one variety $3.50, 
unless otherwise marked. 5 or more of one variety may be purchased 
at the 10 rate. 
The asterisk (*) indicates varieties particularly well adapted for the Rock 
Garden. 
The ultimate height of the plant is given in feet and inches. 
The approximate time of flowering is given in months.
