AND 
N the arrangement of herbaceous beds and borders, the heights which the plants are likely 
| to attain are an important consideration. ‘To facilitate selection, 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 
Jatt. 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; bk, black; br, brown; c, cream; g, green; ‘gl, glaucous; gy, grey; J, lilac; m, magenta; mv, mauve; 
o,orange; p, purple; pi, pink; r, red; si, silvery; v, violet; w, white; y, yellow.
