 :CEMETERY PLOTS, ETC. = 



This class of plants is fast attaining popularity, and to meet the growing demand we offer tt : s choice selection of sorts, which contains only such as 

 exhibit the greatest contrast of color with profusion of bloom. They flower at different periods and vary in natural height. Other hardy plants, Chrysanthe- 

 mums, Ferns, Iris, Lily of the Valley. Paeonies, Phloxes, Pinks, Violets, etc., are in this catalogue, see index. NOTE. — Those marked * are suitable for shady 

 places. We have prepared a Planting Map of a Hardy Border as a guide to the planting of the Hardy Perennials or. this page which we will send free if 

 asked for.
