Book Description
Excerpt from Hardy Plants for New England Gardens, 1931: Perennials, Rock Plants, Flowering Shrubs, Evergreens E specialize in Hardy Perennials, particularly Peonies, Irises, and Phlox. Except a few indispensable biennials like Campanula medium and Digitalis purpurea, our list is confined to the choicest and hardiest herbaceous perennials which are best to use as the basis for New England hardy borders and rock gardens. Many old-fashioned plants are included which have been cultivated in New England gardens since colonial times. A few are included which, though short-lived, are beautiful enough to warrant occasional replacing. We have in the nursery other varieties besides those listed here. The plants that we furnish are field-grown, except a few varieties which are more successfully handled in pots. Extra large clumps can sometimes be supplied at double price. All varieties not priced differently are 25 cts. Each, $2 for 10, $16 per 100. Add 5 to 10 per cent for parcel post. Aconitum autumnale. Autumn Monks hood. 4 it. September. Spikes of dark blue. Hooded flowers. Will grow in part shade. 50 cts. Each, $4 for 10. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
