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 continuous 

 succession of charming flowers much more interesting than the usual 

 greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellish- 

 ment and cutting purposes. _ The Hardy Plants have the advantage 

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

 mulch during winter, and an occasional checking of the more robust 

 growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 



AVhere early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction 

 of groups of Narcissi, Scillas, which bloom in April and May ami 

 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.
