Hardy Perennials 
and Rock Plants 
We offer here a selection of leading new and outstand- 
ing perennial novelties, grown and propagated at our own 
nurseries, where the climate is humid in the summer, cold, 
with bitter winds, in the winter. 
The material we offer is strong, field-grown stock with 
the exception of some varieties which transplant better 
from pots. 
Note.—Figures after the description and blooming dates 
represent the approximate height reached by the peren- 
nials under favorable conditions.
