— HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS - 
U NTIL hardy plants come into more general use, we cannot hope for the artistic, inter 
esting and beautiful gardens in this country that are found in the Old World. How- 
ever, the individual beauty of most of the perennials is so great that the garden cannot fail 
to be interesting and lovable, if the cultural skill is such as to bring the plants to perfection. 
With the material offered in this list, the most beautiful and charming gardens can be made, 
gardens that change the aspect- with every changing season, gardens that increase in value 
and beauty year after year. 
Aconitum Fischeri. Lovely large blue flowers in September and October. Decorative foliage 
makes this a handsome plant even when not in bloom. Will grow in partial shade.

mitted to be the loveliest blue color among the flowers.

Veronica Amethystina. 
Liatris pycnostachya (Cattail Gay Feather). Very beautiful 
as well as odd. Blooms in midsummer and throws up

rounded with them.

mended to all who possess a garden. They are perfect' 
ly hardy and absolutely invaluable for cut flowers 
through the summer and autumn months. Flowers 
are bright and elegantly borne on long stems. 
Ranunculus acris fl. pi. (Bachelor Buttons). The 
flowers are glossy golden yellow. May to Sept.
