LIST OF HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS FOR 1919. 



79 



HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS 



For the Herbaceous Border. 



Hardy Perennials succeed -well in almost any location, but in general prefer a full exposure to the sun. 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 protection and enricher of the soil. The manure, if rotted, is usually dug into the ground 

 in spring.
