The Perennials that are found in this Department do not flower until the second year. As 
will be seen by the names below, it contains some of our oldest and best flowers, like the Canter¬ 
bury Bell, Hollyhock, &c. These Perennials, many of them, though wonders of beauty when in 
bloom, flower only for a limited period, and therefore should be planted a little in the back¬ 
ground. They will not answer for a bed on the 
through the summer.
