Hardy Herbaceous Perennials 
HIS class of plants is growing rapidly in popularity and 
appreciation. It is a special department in our Nurseries, 
in which we carry a large supply and extended list of 
plants that are suitable for this region. 
A bed or border of Perennials once established will be 
a “joy forever ’’ with less care than is required by any other class of 
plants. A winter mulch of old manure, not too thick, but left on the 
ground during the growing season, is wonderfully helpful in getting 
results. 
The charm of a collection of Perennials rests in the constant change 
and successional variety, which, from spring until fall, develops new 
interest and enables the possessor each day to find some new feature of 
form and beauty, and in such profusion that one may “ cut-and-come- 
again” throughout the entire season. 
Suggestions as to suitable plants for particular purposes and effects 
and plants for beds or borders suited to the space at command, will be 
given on request. 
Plants suitable for shady places marked with an asterisk (*). Plants 
suitable for swampy ground marked with two asterisks '(**). Plants suit- 
able for rockeries marked with a dagger (f).
