. Dreer's garden book / Henry A. Nursery Catalogue. DREER'S SELECT Hardy Perennial Plants. A Hardy Perennial Border The growing popularity of the Old-fashioned Hardy Garden Flowers, the inhabitants of the perennial garden, is not at all surprising when we consider the many varied and pleasant changes which take place throughout the entire growing season in a well- arranged hardy border, in which every week âyes, every day âbrings forth something fresh and new to interest and delight even the most critical. Beginning in April, the early-flowering varieties open their flowers often before the snow has entirely disappeared, and continue, with constant changing variety, throughout the summer until late in the fall when only severe freezing weather will stop such persistent late-blooming kinds as Japanese Anemones, Pompon Chrysanthemums, Gaillardias, Eupatoriums, Tritomas, etc. i Many not thoroughly familiar with this class of plants have an idea that nothing but a large field-grown clump will give satisfactory returns the first season. 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 "field ; The majority of the stock offered in this catalogue is pot-grown. This does not mean that the plants have been altogether pot-grown, but that they have been field-grown and dug and potted up during the fall months, and such stock can be planted, even late in the spring with practically no loss, which, in the case of clumps, is often quite serious. We have prepared a leaflet on THE MAKING AND CARE OF AN OLD-FASHIONED HARDY BORDER and HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS SUITABLE FOR THE ROCK GARDEN giving list of suitable plants for position either in sun or shade. Copies free on request. We also offer several good books on the culture of Hardy Perennials, a list of which will be found on page 44 of this catalogue. DREER'S COLLECTIONS OF
