Rock-Garden and Hardy Perennial Plants 
Hardy perennial flowers are depended on to give the garden 
continuity from year to year and to afford that appearance of 
settled contentment and quietude which comes with their in¬ 
creased size and reappearance in the same places year after year. 
If the ground is well prepared by deep spading and fertilizing, 
they will need little attention beyond keeping the surface hoed 
and the weeds pulled for the first year—after that they are usually 
big and strong enough to take care of themselves. 
One of the fine things about a rock-garden is that each pocket 
of soil can be made up to suit the particular plant you want there. 
In this way one can have rare treasures that would not live in 
an ordinary garden. 
Price, 25 cts. each, 65 cts. for 3, $2.50 per doz., except where
