Old-Tasbion Garden.” 
Berbaceous partly Plants. 
A TERM usually applied to such sorts of plants as have hardy roots that endure from 
P year to year, but whose tops are annual, dying to the ground each season. It is a 
very comprehensive class and includes many of the so-called old-fashioned flowers, 
dear to the hearts of our grandparents. There has, however, been a rapidly growing 
taste of late for this class of plants, more people seemingly learning to appreciate what 
beautiful plants many of them really are. Truly, what have we more gorgeous and 
decorative for the garden than the many forms of the grand old Hollyhock, Paeonies, 
Yucca, Larkspur, Columbine, etc. By a judicious selection one can have something in 
bloom from early season until late, a garden border, furnishing each day one or more 
gems that have arrived at a stage of full beauty, and plenty more coming on. Every 
garden, large or small, can have its border of Hardy Herbaceous plants, so little care and 
such bountiful returns, not perishing with the winter, but enduring, all the more ready 
after their winter rest, to do their share toward making the garden a place of beauty.
