LIST OF HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS FOR 1915. 



95 



HAKDY FLOWERING PLANTS. 



For the HerbuccoiiN Border. 



Hardy Perennials succeed well in almost any location, but in general prefer a full exposure to the 

 n. Any good garden soil suits them, if well enriched with Bone Meal, or well rotted barnyard manure 

 Frequent loosening- of the soil during- summer, and watering- freely in dry weather, are the essentials 

 after planting. A light covering of manure in fall is not a necessity, but is beneficial as a winter pro- 

 tection and enricher of the soil. The 



manure, if rotted, is usually dug 

 into the ground in spring. 



The demand for LARGE PLANTS 

 of Hardy Perennials has now be- 

 come so general that we now pre- 

 pare and offer only this grade of 

 stock; this insures a better and 

 more immediate effect than is pos- 

 sible with small plants. In order to 

 do this we have been obliged to slightly increase the 

 minimum price, which is, however, more than offset by the 

 increased value of the plants. 



ACHILLEA — Milfoil or Yarrow. 



A. "The Pearl" — 2 feet, July. This handsome perennial 

 cannot be recommended too highly. The blossoms are
