Archive image from page 256 of Cyclopedia of American horticulture . 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 cyclopediaofame02bail Year: 1906 HERBS Hill Nursery Co. These reports agree as to the G most popular hardy herbaceous perennials. These are anem- one, hollyhock, larkspur, iris, peony, phlox. The next 4 favorites are columbine, poppy, rudbeckia and sun- flower. These are probablv the 10 most popular plants of their class in America, to fill out the list to a dozen, might choose 2 of the following 10: Campanula, ehrysanthemuni, coreopsis, dianthus, dieentra, eulalia, funkia, gaillardia, hemerocal- lis, pvrethrum. The following list of 12 is selected on a dif- ferent principle by W. C. Egan, who writes that a bed aposed of the following will produce Howers from early spring to late fall in the following order: Phlox sKbitJata, lily-of-the-valley, bleeding heart, iris (German and Japanese), peony, lark- , phlox (tall), rudbeckia Golden Glow, gail- lardia, BoUonia hitisqiiama, 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: Canna, carnation, chry- iolet, 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: Achillea, Asclepias, Astilbe, Boltonia, Campanula Dictamnus, Digitalis, Monarda. CEnothera. Platycodon, Ranunculus, Sedum, Silene, Spirsea, Statice. TroUius, Vinca. ;. M. Selections for Special foil lists are intended to be suggestive, not complete
