tells of the favorite plants that 
make the hardy garden an endless 
joy from the earliest days of spring 
to the time when the plants must 
be covered for their winter sleep. 
It is a book — rather than a mere 
catalogue — describing in an extremely 
interesting way the habits, the form, 
the likes and dislikes of my favorite per- 
ennial plants, with notes about the time 
of blooming and colors of the flowers. 
There are many illustrations of my Irises, Peonies, Delphiniums Aquilegias, 
hardy Chrysanthemums, with twelve full page plates in natural colors (re- 
produced from Lumiere plates) just as the flowers grew here at Wyomissing. 
Over Five Hundred Varieties of Peonies 
are accurately described, the text having been prepared from my own field 
notes The book treats the Irises in detail, as well as Peonies, classifying 
and describing the hundreds of varieties and telling how and where to grow 
them. Other favorite hardy plants described are the Phloxes, Asters, 
Poppies, a choice selection of Roses, together with a unique collection of the 
new and rare lilacs. 
This Book is for You 
if you write for it. 1 trust that it will be an inspiration to you, as its predecessors have been 
to others who love the many other hardy plants that are a never failing source ol delight.

delicate orchids, can be grown in your garden — and in everyone’s
