SPECIAL LIST OF HARDY PLANTS. 

 Some plants are remarkable for statelincss in character, and are adaptable to certain 

 positions. Others are dwarf and compact, suitable for edgings. Still others are 

 notable for leaf colouration, while several have elegant green leaves, more or less suitable 

 for association as " greenery " with various cut flowers, though, as a rule, flowers are 

 seen to the best advantage with the foliage of the plants that produced them.

PLANTS FOR EDGINGS TO BORDERS. 

 Many of the plants included in the selections for rockwork are suitable for this 

 purpose, but for convenience a few which have been successfully used by the writer are 

 named. They should be allowed to grow over the stones, if stones are used, and form 

 irregular mounds. A great improvement will be effected if the plants are permitted 

 to reach the margin of the path, so as to break the monotony of the straight line.
