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. Year after year they reappear and flower abun- 

 dantly, requiring scarcely any attention. 



A planting of perennials afi^ords a displa>- 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 connection 

 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 

 l)y a colony is more attractive than a greater number of varieties with only a few plants of each. 



The size mentioned in tlie descriptions indicates the approximate height that the plant 

 may be expected to attain at maturity. The months represent the season of bloom.
