Archive image from page 164 of Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom cyclopediaofamer03bail Year: 1906 Hill Nursery Co. These reports agree as to th 6 most popular haniy berbaceous perenuials. These are anem- one, hollyhock, larkspur, iris, peony, phlox. The next 4 favorites are columbine, poppy, rudbeckia and sun- flower. These are probably the 10 most popular plants of their class in America. To fill out the list to a dozen, one might choose 2 of the following 10: Campanula, chrysanthemum, coreopsis, , diceutra, eulalia, funkia. guiUardia, hemerocal- lis, pyrethrum. The following list of 12 is selected on a dif- ferent principle by W. C Egan, who writes that a bed composed of the following will produce flowers from early spring to late fall in the following order: Phlox subulata, lily-of-tbe-valley, bleeding heart, iris (German and Japanese), peony, lark- spur, platycodon, phlox (tall), rudbeckia Golden Glow, gail- lardia, BoJtonia latisquama, sunflower. In the South the 12 most popular kinds would make a vi'ry different list. P. J. Berckmans writes that the following are hardy at Augusta, Ga., and are probably most popular in the South: Canna, carnation, chry- santhemum, dahlia, violet, verbena, German iris, Jap- anese iris, funkia, helianthus, phlox, hollyhock. An analysis of 4 northern lists gives the following 33 as favorites of the second rank. The agreement would have been much closer if bulbs, grasses and subshrubs had been excluded: Monarda, OEnothera, PlatyeodoTi, Ranunculus, Sedum, Silene, Spirfea, Statiee, Trollius, Veronica, Vinca.
