This class of plants has become very popular of late years, as when once 
planted they grow and thrive and increase in value and beauty from year 
to year. The number of varities has been so increased that one may, with 
careful selection, stock the garden wi h plants which will bloom in succes- 
sion from early spring until heavy frosts. They are of the easiest culture, 
only requiring an ordinary garden soil, but as they remain in the ground 
from year to year, they will be greatly benefited by a mulch or covering of 
well-rotted manure, through the winter, which should be well worked into 
the soil around the plants in the sprin g. We have a fine collection of the 
best and most suitable for this climate.
