A WOMAN'S HARDY GARDEN 



the latter case, however, they would not bloom 

 until the second year, being perennials. 



No border can be complete without Del- 

 phiniums (Larkspur). Good -sized roots of 

 the Delphinium formosum, lovely dark blue, 

 are a dollar and twenty -five cents a dozen. 

 Formosum Coelistina, the light blue variety, 

 is two dollars and a half a dozen. Then, of 

 course, there must be other perennials, — 

 Phlox, at least a dozen plants in the differ- 

 ent colours, which will cost a dollar and a 

 half. 



A few Lilies will add greatly to the 

 beauty of the borders. Tiger Lilies, which 

 are only sixty cents a dozen; Auratums, 

 which can be had from eighty -five cents a 

 dozen up, according to the size of the 

 bulbs ; Speciosum rubrum from eighty - five 

 cents a dozen up, and Candidums, or Ma- 

 donna Lilies, a dollar and a half a dozen. 

 German Iris, a dollar a dozen, and Japanese 

 Iris, at a dollar and a quarter a dozen, 

 should also have a place.
