PERENNIAL FLOWERS. 



Early in the season the old perennial beds were removed in order to allow of a 

 new arrangement of lawns and drives. These old plants, along with a number of 

 new varieties received from the Central Experimental Farm, were planted in a border 

 which is' 12 feet wide and extends for 420 feet on the north and west sides of the 

 iiiclosure. An arrangement of these plants has been made, as to height and colour, 

 tliat will undoubtedly give a very fine appearance when they are in full bloom. 



A list of the old perennials that flowered after being removed is given below: —
