HARDY PERENNIALS 
They last for years with occasional attention. Planted 
in beds, along walks, drives and borders of shrubbery and 
in rock gardens, they make a pleasing picture. We offer 
the hardy, tried and true kinds that can be best grown 
under average conditions. Space the dwarfer kinds 12 to 
I5 inches apart; and the taller kinds over 2 feet in height 
about half the height given. 
Now also come “Rockeries and Rock Gardens” into fer- 
vid popular favor. Little creeping, matting plants for cov- 
ering the upper surface of 
stones, or moderate upright 
growers of suitable character 
to occupy the earth-filled niches 
between.

show normal matured height, 
blooming period, color, and any 
special quality or utility; so

lect and associate varieties to
