Hardy Herbaceous Plants 
For Autumn Planting. 
Japan Anemone, 
"Whirlwind.” 
P LANTS 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 at Pieonies, 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 makes 
them indispensable for the garden. 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 them a specialty at the 
nursery, growing them in large quantities out in the open 
fields under the most favorable conditions. The classifica¬ 
tion is the one adopted by Prof. L. IT. Bailey in the Cyclo¬ 
pedia of American Horticulture. 
Description of height at flowering season and time of 
blossoming, general color of bloom, and very brief descrip¬ 
tions only are attempted in this abridged list. 
In arranging this list, we have used the popular or 
common names as iar as seemed consistent.
