HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS 
M ORE and more are people beginning to realize the value of hardy plants in the decoration of the grounds. 
They do well in most any soil, require little attention, and with a carefully selected list continuous bloom 
may be had from April till November. Nothing in the garden can compare in beauty and charm to the 
ever constant changes in the hardy plants. They may be planted in beds for choice cut flowers, among shrubbery 
to give color during the times when the shrubs are destitute of flowers around the sides of the place in irregular 
borders, keeping the taller growing varieties at the back and smaller ones in front. 
We list only the very best kinds of the hardy plants and ones that are sure to please. We will be glad to 
furnish any sketches or information for the planting of the herbaceous plants. The figures denote the height of 
growth, next season of bloom, and color of flowers.
