HYBRID PERPETUALS. 
To this class belong the hardv ontdoor ever- 
blooming varieties. While nearfv or qnitc all of 
them are hardy throughouttheNorth without pro- 
tection, still we earnestly advise our patrons to 
give them a slight protection of earth or autumn 
leaves during the winter. Th; increased vigor of 
growth and consequent increased bloom will amply 
repay tlic labor of protecting them. Do ntit cover 
the plants too soon; ;i slight freezing will not hurt 
them, but help to ripen the wood." The best ma- 
terial we know of for covering, is auttimn leaves, 
hut where these cannot be readily t)btained, hity. 
straw, lightinan«re,streetswcepiTigs, pineorcedar 
boughs will aflTord ample protection; Cover suffi- 
ciently to prevent the roots from freezing, but not 
to exclude all air and light. Do not uncover too 
, .early in the spring, but >vait until all danger of 
, ^freezing is past and the weather becomes settled. 
.. As soon as uncovered, prune the plants, cutting oft' 
all dead and discolored brjLuehes.
