HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



Varieties suitable for autumn planting. Refer to our Garden Annual for complete list of 



Perennial Plants. 



'T"HE favorites of the old-time gardens are coming to the front, and deservedly 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 interest- 

 ing than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have 

 the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during Winter, and occasional checking of the more 

 robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 



We limit the present list to varieties which admit of being planted at this season and which have been found generally hardy and desirable for 

 the severe climate of New England.
