Hardy Ornamental Herbaceous Plants-Continued 



New Hardy Pink. 



The New Mound Pink. 



This is unquestionably a great acquisition, and is 

 destined, by its great superiority, to take the place, 

 except in collections, of the old-fashioned grass pink, 

 that old-time favorite. It Is perfectly hardy and 

 blooms very profusely in its season, and more or less 

 during the entire summer. The flowers are a very 

 delicate blush pink, and deliciously fragrant. They 

 are finely fringed and are very pretty, either In sin- 

 gle sprays or massed in bouquets. The grass or fo- 

 liage is neat and compact, of a bluish green, and 

 highly ornamental.
