FUNEIA. 
HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS. 
For the Herbaceous Border. 
Perennial border plants continue to command the attention and enjoy the 
popularity they so richly deserve. The demand for them each season has 
always been far in excess of that of any previous year, a sure indication -that 
a taste for these hardy plants is rapidly becoming more general, and that 
without doubt their merits will, ere long, be as universally recognized, and 
their beauty and usefulness as much appreciated in our Own country as in 
Europe, where for many years they have enjoyed a popularity not exceeded by 
any other class of garden plants. Our stock embraces a carefully selected 
assortment, each variety being the best of its kind yet introduced. The collec- 
tion includes 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 season. In the description of each we give the height, color of flowers 
and the season it usually begins to bloom. 
Cultivation.—So simple is the cultivation of all Hardy Perennials that very 
little need be said. They 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 some good fertilizer, such as Bone Meal, or well-rotted barn- 
yard manure. Frequent loosening of the soil during summer, and watering 
freely in dry weather are the essentials after planting. They usually succeed 
equally well when planted in spring or fall according to convenience. A light 
covering of the soil over their roots in fall of manure 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.
