New! BURNETT'S PERENNIALS Versatile 
OUR OWN INTRODUCTIONS and SELECTED FAVORITES 
Our perennial plants are al Jstrong, field-grown or potted stock. They are vigorous, young plants that will readily establish themselves 
permanently in your garden. Do not buy perennial plants by size alone. Large, old clumps are never satisfactory and will soon die out when 
transplanted. Plants are not sold in any quantities less than those priced. 5 plants of any one variety are sold at the 10 rate. Take 
advantage of this saving over the smaller quantities. 
Cultural Hints—Never plant Hardy Perennials too deep, and as a rule they prefer a well-drained, loamy soil that is neutral or slightly 
alkaline. Poor soil should be well prepared beforehand by digging in well-rotted manure with bonemeal added if possible. When fertilizing 
make sure no commercial fertilizers ever come in direct contact with plant as this will burn young roots and lower foliage. Keep weeds down 
and soil loose around plants by frequent cultivation.
