Hardy Perennial Plants and Bulbs 
No home ground is complete without a collection of hardy perennial plants and bulbs, 
and the demand for these is increasing wonderfully with every succeeding season, liy

pleasing picture by proper arrangement for color effect. The plants may be arranged in 
formal designs or along the shrubbery border. They bloom so freely that one may 
and come again, and are so easily grown that anyone may succeed with them. More¬
