to help those contemplating the planting of hardy gar-

Mr. John L. Rea on pages 299-302 of July G. M. All

30-acre nursery which holds, perhaps, the largest 
stocks of hardy herbaceous plants in this country.

waiting for adoption to still happier home gardens.

gest Selection A, below, as an easy means to get ac- 
quainted with the charms of old-fashioned hardy 
plants. Selection B is compiled to suit the fancies of
