HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS. 
OLD-FASHIONED HARDY GARDEN FLOWERS. 
HE favorites of the old-time gardens 
are coming to the front, and deserved- 
ly 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 interesting 
than the usual greenhouse assortment, and 
equally valuable for garden embellishment 
and cutting purposes. The Hardy Plants 
have the advantage of greater permanen- 
cy, requiring only cultivation, enriching, 
a slight mulch during winter, and occa- 
sional checking of the more robust grow- 
ers, to keep the plantation in good condi- 
tion for years. 
Where early flowers are desired we ad- 
vocate the introduction of groups of Nar 
cissi, Scillas, Crocuses, Snowdrops, Chi- 
onodoxa and other Spring-flowering bul- 
bous plants, which should be planted in 
October, as well as Montbrietias, the har- 
dier species of Gladioli and Lilies for sum- 
mer blooming, and which may be planted 
in spring. 
We limit the present list to varieties 
which admit of being planted at this sea- 
son and which have been found generally 
hardy and desirable for the severe climate 
of New England.
