Partial view of a ten acre field of Hardy Phlox at our Locust Far:n Nurserv containing upjvards of three hundred thousand plants Other Hardy Plants can be seen in proportionate numbers and acreage during their respective periods of flowering, and can not help but enthuse the amateur for each respective class of plants. Many planters not thoroughly familiar witli this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a large field- grown clump will give satisfactory returns the first sea- son. This, as experience has taught us, is in most instances a mistake. A vigorous plant of proper size will, in nearly every case, give quicker and better returns than the best so-called View in our fapanese field-grown clumps. Iris Garden We several years ago adopted a system of growing many varieties of Hardy Perennials in pots, especially for spring delivery. This does not neces- sarily mean that the plants have been altogether pot- grown ; many are field-grown, but are dug and placed in pots during the fall and winter months, and these plants are vastly superior to plants dug directly from the field, and may be transplanted with absolute safety until late in the spring. A large section of our Perennial gar- dens is equipped with a system of irrigation which makes us independent of rain ; the water is supplied from our own wells by steam pumps and are run day and night when occasion demands, thus insuring strong, healthy plants at all The Rockery at times.
