Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
The interest in this class of plants increases from year to year, and the number of 
vareities has increased until now one may, with judicious selection, stock the garden 
with plants which flower in succession from early spring until heavy frosts. One of the 
advantages of planting these hardy plants is, that they will increase in beauty and value 
every year. Their culture is simple ; as they remain in the ground from year to year, 
there should be a liberal supply of well-rotted manure spaded in around the plants 
before growth starts in the spring Although all are hardy, the plants and flowers will 
be stronger and finer if protected in winter with a liberal covering of leaves, etc., held 
in place by brush or boards. We have a fine collection of all the best and most desir- 
able for this climate.
