HARDY HERBACEOUS 
PERENNIALS 
Hardly any other class of plants in horticulture has, within the last 
few years, come forward into popularity and prominence so fast as the 
Herbaceous Perennials. But no other plants have, even including the 
rose, within recent years, had such an enormous and important addition 
in species and varieties from all over the globe. They form a class of 
plants second to none in variety, hardiness, beauty, usefulness and gen- 
eral satisfaction. Once established, they appear as sure as spring comes, 
year after year. They require probably less attention, yet respond to a 
liberal treatment more readily, than any other plant in the garden.

decorative plant, with large, shapely, dark green leaves and showy 
purple flowers; blooms in late summer.

June to September.
