Early Hardy or Garden Varieties 
The general public have shown an increasing interest in this class during the 
past season. We have endeavored to give the height and flowering period as 
well as a description of color of each variety, which we believe will be appre¬ 
ciated by those interested. It will, at least, afford them an opportunity to ar¬ 
range their plantings so as to show to best advantage. 
The hardy varieties may be planted in the vegetable garden in the spring, 
given good culture, the centers repeatedly pinched out as directed under ROCK 
GARDEN PLANTS on page 41 and when in bloom may be lifted and replanted 
in any position on the lawn. They may also be put into vases or window boxes 
in separate or mixed colors as desired.
