Hardy Perennials 
The fashion of “ribbon*’ or “bedding out” gardening is largely a thing of the past. In its 
pla(*e we now find rnore permanent and varied forms which do away with the expense and an- 
noyance yearly entailed by the process of filling garden beds with tender flowering and foliage 
plants which are destroyed by early frosts. The charm of a garden of hardy plants rests in 
the constant change and succcssional variety which develops new interest, and enables the 
possessor each day to find some new feature of form and beauty. By consulting our lists, one 
can. by making judicious selections, stock the garden or border with plants which will afford 
a profusion and succession of bloom from early spring until late in the autumn.
