HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
HE OLD- FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites SE old-t tine aardene are again a popular 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 succes- 
sion 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 adv antage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch 
during w inter, and an occasional checking of the more robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 
Where early 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 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 ron the severe climate of New England.
