ROSE HEDGES 



The common Sweetbrier and the Penzance Hybrids 

 make excellent hedges as shelter for rose beds, and are 

 proof against exposure. 



Charming hedges also may be made of the Multiflora, 

 Ayrshire, Sempervirens, Scotch and Wichuraiana roses, 

 which in all cases should be on their own roots. 



Some of the Hybrid Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals are 

 also quite suitable, when on brier or on their own roots. 



HARDY PERENNIALS BY COLOURS 



In the planting of herbaceous borders the best effects 

 are only to be obtained by a careful study of colour and 

 succession. The following list embraces a selection of 

 the best hardy perennials for colour effect, and their 

 season of flowering has been added to assist the gardener 

 in arranging them for succession. The column giving 

 heights will suggest the best position in the border in 

 relation to its width.
