A  mixed  planting  of  Perennials  and  Shrubbery  that  gives  an  uninterrupted  succession  of  bloom  through  the  open  months. 
HARDY  PERENNIAL  PLANTS 
IT  is  no  wonder  that  these  grand,  old-fashioned  hardy  garden  flowers  continue  to  increase  in  popu- 
larity, because  there  is  not  a  time  during  the  whole  flower  season  in  which  some  hardy  perennial  is  not 
in  bloom;  and  when  the  wooded  shrubs  are  almost  bare  of  flowers  in  July  and  August,  these  little 
plants  may  be  depended  upon  to  make  a  grand  display.  The  perennials  are  not  fastidious  about  the 
soil  they  have  to  grow  in,  though  many  of  them,  of  course,  have  a  preference.  Year  after  year,  they  re- 
appear and  flower  abundantly,  requiring  scarcely  any  attention. 
A  planting  of  perennials  aff^ords  a  display  of  bloom  from  earliest  Spring  until  after  frost  comes  in  the 
Fall,  and  gives  the  owner  flowers  that  may  be  cut  at  any  time  for  house  and  table  decoration.  These 
plants  look  well  anywhere,  but  are  especially  suited  for  border  planting,  either  by  themselves  or  in  con- 
nection with  shrubbery  groups;  they  are  also  effectively  used  when  planted  along  garden  walks,  walls  or 
fences,  in  rockeries  and  innumerable  places  that  will  suggest  themselves. 
In  planting  the  Perennial  Border  we  suggest  massing  several  plants  of  a  kind,  as  the  effect  produced 
by  a  colony,  is  more  attractive  than  a  greater  number  of  varieties  with  only  a  few  plants  of  each. 
PRICES  OF  PERENNIAL  PLANTS,  except  where  otherwise  noted,  are  15  cents  each; 
$1.25  per  10;  $10.00  per  100.
