Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
A LL plants whose roots are hardy and remain alive from year to year and 
whose tops die annually to the ground are classified under this heading 
It includes such splendid garden plants as Paeonies, Iris, Larkspurs, etc 
The great ease with which these plants can be grown and their great variety 
of color and form and season of bloom make them indispensable for the gar¬ 
den. Of late years, there has been a steadily increasing demand for this 
class of plants as well as a great improvement in the varieties, so that they 
now make an important feature in the business of many nurserymen. We 
are making a specialty at the nursery, growing them in large quantities out 
in the open fields under the most favorable conditions. The classification 
is the one adopted by Prof L. PI. Bailey in the Cyclopedia of American Hor¬ 
ticulture. . 
Height at flowering season and time of blossoming, general color of bloom, and 
very brief descriptions only are attempted in this abridged list.
