AN 



INDEX TO 

 HALF-HARDY 



HEIGHTS 



OF 



HERBACEOUS 



HARDY 

 PLANTS. 



AND 



N tlie arrangement of herbaceous beds and borders^ the beiglits wbicb tbe plants are likely 

 to attain are an important consideration. To facilitate selecfcion^ the best hardy and 

 half-hardy herbaceous plants^ i.e., those which^ in the body of the work^ have been marked 

 by an asterisk, are here classified according to their degrees of height, in two divisions 

 ^^ Flowering Plants ^^ and '^ Foliage Plants/^ 



Each plant is included under that heading which most nearly represents its greatest 

 height; and the asterisks indicate plants between whose maximum and minimum heights a 

 wide range is observable. Subjects which, in the body of the work, have been briefly 

 described as, e.g.^ "2ft." or "3ft." high, are here classed respectively under the headings 

 " l^ft. to 2ft." and "2ft. to 3ft." [ 



Abbreviated information as to the colours of the flowers or foliage, as. the case may be, 

 is given after each name. 



The following abbreviations are used : 



b, blue; bfc, black; br, brown; c, cream; g, green; gl, glaucous; gy, grey; I, lilac; m, magenta; mv, mauve; 

 Oj orange; p, purple; fi, pink; r, red; s-i, silvery; v, violet; at?, white; y, yellow.
