HARDY FLOWERING PLANTS 



For the Herbaceous Border. 



Hardy Perennials succeed well in almost any location, but in general prefer a full exposure to the sun. Any good garden soil suits them, if well enriched 

 with Bone Meal, or well rotted barynard manure. Frequent loosening of the soil during summer, and watering freely in dry weather, are the essentials 

 after planting. A light covering of manure in fall is not a necessity, but is beneficial as a winter protection and enricher of the soil. The manure, it rotted, 

 is usually dug into the ground in spring.
