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.
