HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. 
Below we offer a select list of Hardy Herbaceous Plants, suitable for fall planting. While 
spring Is considered the proper planting time by the general public, experience proves that much 
could be done In the autumn to great advantage. Set in October or November the plants become 
well rooted before cold weather sets in and from these plants a good display of flowers will come In 
spring. When freezing weather sets in, a little manure placed above the plants acts both as a 
protection and a fertiliser, and is of great help to them. ^ 
One dozen of any one variety will be sent for the price of ten.
