HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



A steadily increasing demand for hardy plants has led us to give them more attention and to increase our stock considerably. 

 Our list contains none but good and satisfactory plants, though by no means including all that are worthy of cultivation. We can 

 make when desired a selection that will keep the garden gay with flowers from the time frost leaves the ground until late autumn. 

 They are adapted to every soil and situation, and when once planted will, with a little care, increase in vigor and beauty. 



ACHILLEA, THE PEARL. A grand 

 improvement on the old Achillea ti. pi. The flowers, 

 which are borne in the greatest profusion the entire 

 summer on strong, erect stems, are of the purest

 mum ; as a summer cut-bloom it is a great acquisi- 

 tion. 15 cts. each; §150 per dozen.

 and pretty perennial, especially suited as an edging 

 plant; succeeds well in any position. 15 cts. each;

A]SP:M0NE JAPOIflCA. One of the 



most beautiful of the hardy herbaceous plants. They 

 commence to open their rich-colored single blooms

 necessary when they become too thick.
