The garden or border of Hardy Perennials is about the most valuable and lasting asset of the flower garden. An- nuals, flowering bulbs and even shrubs may be dispensed with more consistently than these old-fashioned Hardy Per- ennials which for so long a time made the charm of the old- time gardens. There is no spot so unfavorable, no soil so sterile or harsh that some flower of hardy nature may not be found to adorn it and thrive and grow more and more ornamental as the sea- sons come and go. It is well, however, to enrich the soil before planting with some well-decomposed manure, dug deeply and well pulverized. Secure field-grown clumps in the spring or fall. Plant them well into the soil and as soon as they have had two or three good frosts, and just before the ground freezes, cover with about three inches of leaves, nature's protection. Re- move gradually in the spring. Do not overcrowd. A very good rule to go by in
