Hybrid perpetnals are the most valuable of all hardy plants. They are distinguished bv their vigorous^ 
growth and large flowers, frequently measuring 4 to 6 inches in diameter. They succeed iu all localities and 
are entirely hardy in all part of the country. When fully established they bloom freely early in the season, 
and continue to bloom during the summer and autumn months. Improve greatly with good cultivation 
and rich soil. They should invariably be planted in open ground, as they are not suitable for house culture.
