HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 



OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS. 



THE favorites of the old-time gardens are coming to the front, 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 continuous succession of charming flowers, much more inter- 

 esting than the usual greenhouse assortment, and equally valuable for garden embellishment and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants have 

 the advantage of greater permanency, requiring only cultivation, enriching, a slight mulch during Winter, and occasional checking of the more 

 robust growers to keep the plantation in good condition for years. 



We limit the present list to varieties which admit of being planted at this season and which have been found generally hardy and de- 

 sirable for the severe climate of New England.

 plants at $1.75 and $2.00 per dozen, 25 cents each; plants at $2.50 per dozen, 30 cents each; plants at S3.00 per dozen, 35 cents each.
