Hardy perennials may be planted any time dur¬
ing Fall, Winter and Spring when the soil is not
frozen or too wet. Very early flowering sorts are
better planted in Fall or early Winter, but pot
grown plants may go in the ground at any time
during the year. Most of them require an ordinary
garden soil but insist upon perfect drainage. With
few exceptions they suffer from wet feet and are
a failure in heavy, wet clayey soils. A gritty,
gravelly soil with an abundance of humus or leaf
mold is pleasing to most all of them.

“Ozark grown” plants and perennials are healthy
vigorous and full of pep. All they ask of you is a
fair chance to do their stuff. If you don’t see what
you want listed, ask us. We can probably get it
for you.
