all the plants that are cultivated for purely ornamental pur- 
poses, there are none which have made such rapid strides in 
public favor as the old-fashioned hardy garden flowers, the in¬ 
habitants of the perennial garden. Their popularity is not at all 
surprising when we consider the many varied and pleasant changes 
which take place throughout the entire growing season in a well 
arranged hardy garden, in which every week—yes, every day— 
brings forth something fresh and new to interest and delight even 
the most critical. Beginning in April, the early flowering varieties 
open their flowers, often before the snow has entirely disappeared, 
and continue, with constantly changing variety, throughout the 
summer, until late in the fall, when only severe freezing weather 
will stop such persistent late-blooming kinds as Japanese Anemones, 
Pompon Chrysanthemums, Gaillardias, Phlox, etc.

These are deservedly one of the 
most popular subjects in the hardy 
border—bold, attractive, and highly 
prepossessing plants of easiest cul¬ 
ture—-perfectly hardy. They will 
establish themselves in almost any 
soil, but respond quickly to liberal 
treatment. Larkspurs begin bloom¬ 
ing in June, and by cutting the 
plants close to the ground as soon 
as each crop of flowers has faded, 
a second and third crop will suc¬ 
ceed.
