HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS 
March) plants have many claims, both practical and artistic, over all others. This is because so few understand how easy 
and simple a matter it is to grow a large and choice collection of Hardy Perennials. Their first cost is their only cost, and their 
yearly increase in size and beauty is an annual dividend soon appreciated by the planter. And among the various plant families 
there is such variety in color, form and time of blooming that one may well be satisfied. From the first pure spring flowers that 
thrust their petals above the snow, through the grand June overture to summer, when all classes vie with each other until late 
autumn, a good selection of Hardy Perennials make the garden a source of unflagging interest.
