Hardy Garden Flowers 
EARLY SPRING UNTIL LATE FALL 
HE interest in hardy flowers was never so wide spread as at the present time. The reason is—Flowering 
perennials are the backbone of the flower garden, most of them repeating faithfully each year with a min- 
imum of attention. These plants live in the open ground. Many are useful as cut flowers, others for border 
displays or the Rock Garden. The best effect is usually produced by setting the plants out in separate groups 
of three or five of one variety. 
You will find listed here not only the older favorites but many new, choice varieties and novelties. De 
pendable and hardy all through the North. 
Park Nurseries Perennials are sturdy 2 year old, field-grown plants that are dug freshly to your order. We 
make no attempt to compete with the ordinary offerings of Perennial plants. We grow and distribute the 
better strains of quality plants. Come to the Nursery and see our plants.
