HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS. 



Farquhar's Hybrid Pyrethrums in the Famous Italian Garden 

 of Larz Anderson, Esq., Brookline, Mass. 



I HE favorites of the old-time gardens 

 are coming to the front, and deserved- 

 ly 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 interesting 

 than the usual greenhouse assortment, and 

 equally valuable for garden embellishment 

 and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants 

 have the advantage of greater permanen- 

 cy, requiring only cultivation, enriching, 

 a slight mulch during winter, and occa- 

 sional checking of the more robust grow- 

 ers, to keep the plantation in good condi- 

 tion for years. 



Where early flowers are desired we ad- 

 vocate the introduction of groups of Nar- 

 cissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdiops, Chi- 

 onodoxa and other Spring-fliowering bul- 

 bous plants, which should be planted in 

 October, as well as AIontl)retias the har- 

 dier 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 sea- 

 son and which have been found generally 

 hardy and desirable for the severe climate 

 of New England.
