HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 



Perennial border plants are again commanding the attention they so richly deserve, and are 

 advancing rapidly in popularity. The demand has increased to that extent that we have resolved to go 

 extensively into their cultivation. This season we have in stock a splendid assortment, and have 

 selected the following, each variety being the best of its kind yet introduced. The collection embraces 

 varieties of various heights, and which bloom at different seasons, producing flowers of all styles and 

 colors. The whole, or a carefully selected number of them, will make a most effective bed or border, 

 affording, by its variety and succession of bloom, a vast amount of pleasure throughout the entire sea-
