age, the border gets full of roots, and manuring is then 
difficult. When this becomes evident, the whole border 
should be trenched and thoroughly manured, clearing a 
part at one end, and trenching it, and then lifting the 
plants from the next piece, dividing them, and replanting 
nice young small pieces in the newly trenched part. This 
should be done in sections, until the whole is finished. This 
will prevent much handling of the plants. It may also 
be a time for improving the collection of plants, as there 
will always be plenty of plants for disposal, and some of 
these might be exchanged for other varieties. It is, how- 
ever, a mistake to have too 
many varieties in a small 
border, and sufficient room 
should always be left to 
allow the plants to develop 
thoroughly. 
The following are a 
few of the commoner her- 
baceous perennials.
