. 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. Gardening. HERBS HERBS 737. ^- Hill Nursery Co. These reports agree as to the 6 most popular hardy herbaceous perennials. These are anem- one, hollyhock, larkspur, iris, peony, phlox. The next 4 favorites are columbine, poppy, ruclbeckia and sun- flo\ver. These are probably the io 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, dianthus. dicentra, eulalia, funkia, gaillardia, hemerocal- liSjpyrethrum. 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: Plilox sitbzilata, lily-of-the-valley, bleeding heart, iris (German and Japanese), peony, lark- spur, platycodon, phlox (tall), rudbeckia Golden Glow, gail- lardia, Boltonia latisquama, sunflower. In the South the 12 most popular kinds would make a very different list. P. J. Berckmans writes that the following are hardy at Augusta, Ga., and are probably most popular in the South: â 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 tlie second rank. The agreement would have been much closer if bulbs, grasses and subshrubs had been excluded: Achillea, Gaillardia, Mortarda, Aeonitiim, Geranium, CEnothera, Alyssum, Gypsophila, Platycodon, Asclepias, Helenium, Ranunculus, Aster, Helleborus, Sedum, Astilbe, Heuehera, Silene, Boltonia, Hibiscus, Spir^a, Campanula, D:)eris, Statice, Dicentra, Kniphofia, TroUius, Dictamnus, Lobelia, Veronica, Digitalis,
