SEEDS OF HARDY HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS—FALL AND WINTER PLANTING 
Introduction.—We prefer not to list cultural varieties (garden forms) under trade names only 
but endeavor to keep clear, as far as possible, the lineage from which these garden varieties came. 
Novelties are developed at one place by one breeder, or by one establishment, and therefore, 
are necessarily a product, not only of horiticulutral skill by hybridizing or selection but also of climate 
and soil conditions under which they were produced. Such novelties when grown by the breeder, 
in the same environment in which they were created stand up for the good points for which they are 
acclaimed. What these novelties will do in the hands of other growers under climatic and soil con¬ 
ditions different from the originator’s is another matter. It is therefore, important that each grower 
must do his own experimenting with as many varieties, from different sources, as possible, to find 
out just what can be grown most successfully under his own conditions. As an example, we name 
the Columbines of which the finest and highest developed long-spurred garden varieties of the coerulea 
group cannot be grown successfully everywhere, while varieties of the chrysantha group, also long- 
spurred, are somewhat easier and the vulgaris varieties the easiest of them all aiid still the latter have 
all but disappeared from our garden. The horticultural trade, in general, has forgotten the good 
points for which these Columbines stand up. 
Packets.—Generous packets are available of all items listed at 15 cents each unless priced otherwise.
