SELECTED LIST OF HARDY 

 HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 



Xo garden should be without its herbaceous border, furnishing a constant succession of varied 

 bloom throughout the entire season and much beauty and diversity of foliage. For profusion and 

 continuity of bloom, great beauty and for ease of culture these hardy herbaceous plants are unsurpassed 

 by any others grown. Once planted, they remain indefinitely, coming up ever^' spring and dying 

 down every autumn growing better and stronger from year to year. 



I offer here only those varieties which will safely transplant late in the season ( at the time this 

 Special Catalogue reaches you), either from pots or divided plants. 



For fuller list of varieties, descriptions and illustrations see my General Catalogue for this 

 spring in which this class of plants is more fully described.
