Edward Gillett, Southvrick, Mass.—Hardy Perennials 
Phlox decus9ata (see page 37) 
Platycodon Mariesi (see page 39) 
Polygonatum biflorum, continued 
rather small, greenish flowers along the 
upper half of the stalk, followed by the 
black or blue berries which are quite 
conspicuous in autumn. Plant in moist 
shade; perfectly at home in the rock-gar¬ 
den. 15 cts. each, SI.25 per doz., $6.00 
per 100. 
P. giganteum. m Larger and stronger 
than the above. Often 4 feet high. Give 
it a strong, rich soil. 20 cts. each. 
PRIMULA (Primrose). Charming little 
perennials, particularly adapted for rock¬ 
eries or the well-drained border, either 
singly in masses or when planted with 
other early and low-growing plants, like 
pansies, forget-me-nots, dwarf phloxes, 
or iris. The colors are rich and varied, 
and have a delightful fragrance. They 
make a beautiful addition to the 
hardy garden.
