HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 



The grand old-faehioned hardy flowering plants, once so common in our 

 gardens, but which for many years past have been quits neglected, we are 

 pleased to see, fast making themselves popular again. The demand is increas- 

 ing rapidly, so that it is now safe to predict in a very few years these plants 

 will again be the universal favorites they once were and so deservedly too. 

 They are all attractive, many of them beautiful. They require eo little care, and 

 they are so useful for supplying quantities of cut flowers all through the sum- 

 mer. When once planted they may be said to care for themselves, as nearly all 

 of them die down to the ground every fall, all that is necessary to do is simply 

 to cut away the decayed stems. In spring the plants produce new stems. 

 Each year they increase in size, and consequently admit of division, by which 

 means they are rapidly propagated. We list a few of the best and most popular 

 ones, all so well-known generally that descriptions of them may be omitted 

 since our space is very limited. Try a few of them, they are inexpensive, and 

 no plants so well repay the cultivator for any expense or trouble he may be 

 put to.
