HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS AND BULBS. The present interest in "old-fashioned gardens" has resulted in a largely increased demand for the Hardy Herbaceous Flowering Plants. In formal gardening they are indispensable, and most desirable in borders and flower gardens, not only for the showy bloom all through the summer and early autumn, but for cut flowers as well. Nearly all of the species and most of the varieties are entirely hardy and very easily grown. When planted at proper time in spring or autumn, in good soil, and with ordinary cultivation, the flowers are produced in great profusion. These hardy perennials are especially valuable in giving color and variety to shrubbery borders and gardens at times during the season when few other hardy plants are in bloom. Beds or borders filled with the free-flowering Anemone, Asteks, Boltonia, Dahlias, Del- phinium, Gaillabdia, Gladiolus, Hollyhocks, Iris Kaempferi, Lobelia, Lilies, Malva, Peonies, Phlox, Kudbeckia, Solidago, Tbitoma, etc., are wonderfully effective and are unsurpassed for coloring effects. With exceptional facilities for furnishing complete assortments, the kinds indicated below may be relied upon as comprising the best in cultivation. As a rule, good flowering clumps from the open ground are supplied, but pot-grown plants of many kinds can also be furnished. These are sometimes desirable for planting late in the season. Price for good clumps or strong flowering roots, $2 to $3 per dozen ; $10 to $20 per 100, according to size and variety. Special low prices per 1,000. Good assortments of the leading hardy kinds, $10 and $15 per 100. Collections including the best of the indigenous hardy kinds can be supplied as low as $5 to $10 per 100 ; $50 to $100 per 1,000.
