We offer our customers in the following- list, every- 

 thing that is good and desirable in the hardy line. 

 The panting of hardy plants is becoming more gen- 

 eral from 3' ear to year, for the reason that when once 

 planted they are permanent, and do not require much 

 care to have them bloom and do well. We designate 

 after each species, whether a plant, shrub or vine.
