A Selection of Hardy Perennials, etc., suitable for Exhibition when 

 Grown in Pots* 



* The way in which herbaceous and alpine plants are generally shown has frequently been a 

 source of regret to me, knowing, as I do, that no plants in existence are capable of forming more 

 brilliantly attractive and neat specimens. It is quite common to see such poor ragged specimens 

 shown even by large growers of these plants, that one might suppose the prize had been offered 

 for the worst specimens that could be found. (See chapter ix. p. 27 in Part I.)
