HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
HE OLD-FASHIONED HARDY FLOWERS. The favorites of old-time 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 con- 
tinuous 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 
for years. 
W here early flowers are desired we advocate the introduction of Eroups 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 sprin
