STSONO- FIEIiD-aROWN FIiAITTS. 
No flower garden is complete witiliout a col- 
lection 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 require far less care 
than the annuals of bedding plants, and may be 
used to good advantage to fill odd corners, 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 fllled.
