HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS. 



Farquhar'S Hybrid Pyrethrums in the Famous Italian Garden of Larz Anderson, Esq., Brookline, Mass. 



THE favorites of the old-time gardens are coming to the front, and deservedly so. No feature of the garden can be more satisfactory than 

 a well-arranged Hardy Plant border, producing from April to November a continuous succession of charming flowers, much more interest- 

 ing than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the 

 advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during winter, and occasional checking of the more robust 

 growers, to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 



Where early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Chionodoxas and other 

 Spring-flowering bulbous plants, which should be planted in October, as well as Montbretias, the hardier species of Gladioli and Lilies for sum- 

 mer blooming, and which may be planted in spring. 



We limit the present list to varieties which admit of being planted at this season and which have been found generally hardy and 

 desirable for the severe climate of New England.
