PERENNIAL HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 



Perennial herbaceous Plants adapted for Cemeteries and Churchyards. 



For planting in dug ground, whether in beds or over graves, every description 

 of herbaceous plant, except those which require peat soil, is eligible ; but 

 for planting on turf to form single specimens, or what gardeners call " lawn 

 plants," a selection requires to be made of such as have peculiar |)roperties. 

 These are : considerable bulk above ground ; great natural hardiness of stein 

 and foliage and durability of root; under-ground buds, or strong surface stocks, 

 that will be secure from injury during ti)e winter or dormant season ; a com- 

 pact habit of growth both of the roots and top ; and sufficient natural vigour 

 not to be injured by the compact texture of a grassy surface. The common 

 paeony, the rhubarb, and the asparagus, are good examples of the kind of plant 

 required ; and the following list includes such plants, and a few others which 

 may be procured in the principal botanic gardens and nurseries. The prices, 

 when a single plant is ordered, vary from 3c?. to Is. 6d.
