HARDY GARDEN FLOWERING PLANTS. For permaoeQt planting in "Ye Olde-pashioned Garden," in t^e Lawn, Cemetery Plots, etc., etc. By this term is meant such plants as may be allowed to remain permanently in the open ground, whose foliage dies down to or near the ground each autumn, coming forth again in renewed vigor in the following spring, requiring very little attention, nearly always in bloom, and remaining years in the same place.

This form of garden- ing is inexpensive, and requires very little time for the establishment of the most permanent plants. The variety of color and form that can be used in the border is almost endless, and gives an opportunity for the display of many of our native species, which are valued in other countries as among the most beau- tiful flowers in cultivation, but here in their native country are comparatiyely neglected ; but these hardy plants are fast attaining popularity, and to meet the growing demand we have, with considerable labor and time, collected together only such plants as exhibit the greatest contrast of color with profusion of bloom and vigorous growth —plants t
