Select List of My Herbaceous Plants.
This class of plants has become very popular of late years, as when once
planted they grow and thrive and increase in value and beauty from year
to year. The number of varieties has been so increased that one may with
careful selection, stock the garden with plants which will bloom in succes-
sion from early spring until heavy frosts. They are of the easiest culture
only requiring an ordinary garden soil, but as they remain in the ground
from year to year, they will be greatly benefltted by a mulch or covering of
well-rotted manure, through the winter, which should be well worked into
the soil around the plants in the spring. We have a fine collection of the
best and most suitable for this climae.
We have many varieties not mentioned in the following list and when
customers are in want of varieties for special purposes, such as the wild
garden, among shrubbery or for
