HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
The hardy perennial garden appeals very strongly to 
all garden and flower lovers. During the whole flow¬ 
ering season there is not a time during whioh some 
of them are not in bloom. They reappear year after 
year, blooming freely, and require very little at¬ 
tention and protection. 
Select hardy flowers to provide a continuous 
blooming season. The various ooarse-leaved, tall- 
growing varieties should oooupy the background. The 
dwarf-growing varieties along the front edge of the 
border or bed. The intermediate rows will take care 
of the greater majority of perennials. These varie¬ 
ties are located so as to avoid color clashing and 
to produoe a harmonious whole. Also, choose them 
with regard to variation of bloom. 
The roots may be planted in early spring or in 
autumn when the soil is not cold, wet or soggy. Any 
good soil, sensibly enriched with rotted manure, 
bone meal, or sheep manure, dug deep and thoroughly 
mixed, will be satisfactory. The beds should be 
kept weeded and occasionally stirred. The large- 
growing varieties often need staking and tying when « 
they reach maturity.
