HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



'THE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-timc gardens are again 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 succession of charming flowers much more interesting than the usual green-house assortment, and equally valuable for gar- 

 den embellishment 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 foi 

 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 for the severe climate of New England. 

 Single plants of hardy perennials will be furnished at the following rates: Plants at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen, 15 cents 

 each; plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 20 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $3.00 per dozen, 

 30 cents each.
