R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO., BOSTON. HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



Anemone Japonica. 



THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites 

 of old-time gardens are again popnlar, and descrvetlly so. Xo feat- 

 ure of the garden can be more satisfactory tlian a well-arranged 

 Haidy Plant border, producing from April to November a continuous 

 succession of charming Mowers much more interesting tlian the usual 

 greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for ganien embellish- 

 ment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage 

 of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight 

 mulcii 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 introductii)n 

 of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which liloom in April and May and 

 should be planted in October, as well as IMontbrietias, 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 beeii found generally 

 hardy and most desirable for the severe climate of New England.
