MT. DESERT NURSERIES. 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. 
Hardy plants are one of our specialties, and we have one of the finest collections in 
the country of kinds suitable for cold climates. A great many plants that are hardy in 
New York, or even Boston, will not stand our climate here, so that our stock is especially 
valuable for northern planting. Our specialties in hardy plants are Phlox, our collection 
of which perhaps cannot be excelled in this country, Paeonies, Japan Irises, in which we 
have spared no pains to obtain the best varieties, and Delphiniums, of which we have a 
very fine strain, which is the result of careful selection during the past eight years, besides 
having also imported the finest and newest English varieties.
