STSONQ FIEKD-GROWK PI^ANTS. 
No flower garden is complete without a collection of 
these most valuable plants. With a little care they 
may be selected so as to give a continuous supply of 
flowers from early .spring to autumn frosts. They re- 
quire far less care than the annuals of bedding plants, 
and may be used to good advantage to fill odd corner.s, 
along fences, and to screen unsightly objects. They are 
perfectly hardy, and yet for winter they should have a 
slight covering of leaves or other litter. Care should 
also be taken to prevent pools of water standing on 
them during winter. I will gladly make .selections for 
those not familiar with hardy plants if they will inform 
me as to space to be filled.
