HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-time gardens are again popular, and deservedly so. No 

 feature of the garden can be more satisfactorj- than a well-arranged Hard}- Plant border, producing from April to November a con- 

 tinuous succession of charming flowers much more interesting than the usual green house assortment, and equally valuable for garden 

 embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation enrfching, 

 a slight mulch during winter, and an occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 

 Where earh- 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 Montbretias, the hardier species of Gladioli and Lihes 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 Xew England. 

 Single plants of hard}- perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at Sl.OO, 81.25 and -SI. 50 per dozen, 15 cents each; 

 plants at -SI. 75 and S2.00 per dozen, 20 cents each; plant.s at S2.50 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at §3.00 per dozen, 30 cents each.
