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 on page 2.
