PLANT HARDY PERENNIALS NOW 
For long beauty, year upon year, plant the hardy perennials. 
And autumn is a good time to do it, too, for then the plants will 
be well-established to give a fine display of color next spring and 
summer. Our General Catalog #61 (sent upon request), offers 
plants, ready right now, of literally hundreds of kinds. We have 
room for only a few of them here. Among kinds particularly 
valued for fall planting are Hardy Phlox (see page 60 of catalog 
#61), Hemerocallis or Day Lily (page 45, catalog #61), and 
Tritoma and Tradescantia (both on page 65 of catalog #61).
