SELECT LIST OF HARDY PERENNIALS. 



Aquilegia Glandulosa. 



ANEMONE 



JAPONICA. 



One of the most beautiful of ihe 

 hardy herbaceous plants. They com- 

 mence to open their lich-colored 

 blooms in August, and continue to 

 incrense in beauty until cut by frost. 

 They thrive l)est in a light, rich, moist 

 soil, and should not be transplanted 

 more than is necessary.

and dark eye. 

 Elegaus. Carmine, yellow centre, 



dark eye.

variety, with broad, overlapping

original type. The flowers, which
