R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
Anemone Japonica. 
THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites 
of old-time gardens are again popular, and deservedly so. No feat- 
ure of the garden can be more satisfactory than a well-arranged 
Hardy Plant border, producing from April to November a continu- 
ous succession of charming flowers much more interesting than the 
usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden em- 
bellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the 
advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, en- 
riching, a slight mulch during winter, and an 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, which bloom in April and May and 
should be planted in October, as well as Montbrietias, the hardier 
species of Gladioli and Lilies for summer blooming, and which may 
be planted in spring. 
We limit our list to varieties which have been found generally 
hardy and most desirable for the severe climate of New England. 
Single plants of the foregoing will be furnished at the following 
rates: Plants at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen, 15 cents each; 
plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 20 cents each; plants at $2.50 
per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, 30 cents each.
