Hardy Perennial Plants. 
Hardy plants for permanent borders or gardens should be planted in much larger numbers than they i now are 
When once established they increase in beauty from year to year, and require much less care than tender bedding 
plants. 
ANEMONE Japonica. Japanese Anemones begin to bloom in August, 
and increase in beauty until the end of autumn. They thrive best in 
light, rich, somewhat moist soil, and should not be transplanted 
except when necessary to divide them as they become too thick. A 
covering of leaves, straw or long manure is sufficient to keep them 
through our most severe winters.

Double Hollyhock. 
in a season. 15 cts. each, 
Eulalia Japonica zebrlna. 
HOLLYHOCK, Double. This is one of the best peren- 
nials, being a free bloomer, and too far ahead of the 
old Hollyhock to be compared with it. The petals 
have the silken texture of poppies, and the flowers are 
as handsome and regular in their formation as great 
widely opened Hybrid Perpetual Roses. The large 
flowers are having their turn as favorites for decora- 
tions now, and Hollyhocks are very useful. Assorted 
in colors, if desired. 15 cts. and 20 cts.
