For best effect we recommend planting not 
fewer than three of a variety 
You may not have room for Shade Trees, Ever- 
greens, Shrubs, or even Roses, but can use effec- 
tively arranged Perennials in spaces too limited 
for other types of Ornamentals. 
They also have an important place on the grounds 
of the average home, large estate and park. 
May be had in various heights from 1 inch to 
several feet, in numerous shades, from the first call 
of Spring until silenced by chill Winter winds. While 
they carry over from year to year, transplanting 
and renewing Perennial Beds occasionally is essen- 
tial to best results. Furthermore, we like our gar- 
dens to be in style and must find space for the new, 
improved varieties—discarding the less desirable 
ones. Our list of Hardy Perennials is revised from 
time to time so that from the following collection 
you may choose varieties which will meet normal 
requirements. *Suitable for Rock Gardens

GARDEN 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Also known as Hardy Chrysanthemums. However 
that does not mean that they are absolutely hardy 
everywhere under all conditions. Even here at 
Waynesboro we lose some of our Chrysanthemums 
during severe Winters. These garden varieties start 
blooming in July, continuing until freezing weather, 
supplying color when the garden most needs it. 
There are many varieties, but we attempt to list 
only the ones we consider most suitable for the com- 
munities we serve.

for rock gardens and low borders.
