WELCH’S HARDY rentals 
GREEN QUEEN Se 
These are indeed the Queens of the perennial world. 
From the great multitude of perennials, we have 
selected for you those we consider the finest and most 
popular, and at the same time the ones easiest to grow. 
All of these will bloom the first year, and bloom each 
year for many years to come, getting more beautiful as 
the plants get older. All are healthy, clean plants of 
the best varieties only.
