Hardy Herbaceous Plants 
For Permanent Planting in Garden, Borders, Cemetery Plots, Etc. 
STRONG FIELD-GROWN PLANTS. 
No flower garden is complete without 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's frosts. They require far less care 
than the annuals or 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 filled. In this way I can send thirteen 
distinct varieties, postpaid, for $1.00. 
Prices, except where noted, 
10c each; $1 per doz.

A beautiful, hardy border plant. Grows fifteen

ever flowers are wanted for table decoration.
