Perennials 
Herbaceous perennials form one of the most important parts 
of the garden or border as they continue to increase in size 
and beauty from year to year. A selection will give bloom 
throughout the season. 
There is such an immense range of species and _ varieties 
that we do not attempt to grow them all and offer those which 
have proved the most hardy and satisfactory for these climatic 
conditions. We are constantly trying new varieties and adding 
those of merit. 
Strong Field Grown Plants are priced at 50 cents
