Herbaceous and Perennial Flowering Plants 
Perennials, both hardy and tender, are particularly 
valuable for planting in borders and beds and for other 
purposes. The well-ordered garden has no more im¬ 
portant or attractive adjunct than herbaceous borders. 
Properly arranged they give an unbroken display of 
blossom and foliage throughout the year, hence their 
increasing popularity. The ease with which they may 
be grown and the endless variety of subjects available 
are a universal recommendation. Under this heading 
are also included a number of other plants and which 
are useful for summer and autumn flowering. The plants 
which we offer are sturdy stock that will give maximum 
results, having been grown in the rich, silty soil of our
