Excerpt from Dreer's Old-Fashioned Hardy Plants Situation. - There is no class of plants which lend them selves to such varied assortment of climatic or soil conditions, but the most effective position for Hardy Perennial plants in general is a good open border, backed by a hedge, a fence or trellis covered with Rambling Roses or any other hardy climbing vines, while some of the taller-growing sorts, such as Holly hocks, Sunflowers, Rudbeckias, Boltonias, Bocco'nias, etc., are also very attractive when planted throughout a shr-ubbery bor der, their showy flowers forming a bright contrast with the fo liage of the shrubs throughout the summer and fall, when few of the latter are in bloom.

Excerpt from Dreer's Old-Fashioned Hardy Plants, 1914 This change has, in a measure, been created by the many books on Gardening published in recent years, almost every one of which included a chapter or more on the hardy border, while some of them were devoted exclusively to hardy plants. The Horticultural Press has also been a great factor in stimulating interest in hardy plants. Unfortunately, while nearly all of the books and magazine articles give glowing descriptions of the delights of the Hardy Border and describe in detail many of the plants, none, as far as we know, give any drawings or plans showing how such a border should be made, or showing the proper location for the various plants in same. The usual excuse for this omission was that each garden demanded special treatment, and that no plan or set of plans could be used for any great number of plates, and while this is in some cases true, we feel sure that the several plans which we have had prepared by a practical Landscape Artist, and which embody a great many of our own ideas, and which are reproduced on pages 8 and 9 of this book, will enable many amateurs to undertake the making of a hardy border who have until now been deterred from doing so by not knowing how to go about it. The plants which we have selected to fill the various sections in the borders illustrated are the kinds that always do well and are most likely to give satisfactory results. Some planters may prefer to make their own selection, and we like to encourage this, as it gives to every border a touch of individuality, and to make this easy we give on pages 2 to 7 and 11 to 17 a complete alphabetical list of the hardy plants we offer this season, together with their color, average height of growth, time of flowering. And whether suited for a sunny or shady location. This list should make it comparatively easy, even for a novice, to make a selection to fill a bed of any size or shape without making a serious blunder.

Excerpt from Hardy Perennials and Old-Fashioned Garden Flowers: Describing the Most Desirable Plants Many gardens are very small, but these, if pro perly managed, have their advantages. The smaller the garden the more choice should be the collection, and the more highly should it be cultivated. I shall be glad if anything I say tends in this direction. From my notes of plants useful memoranda may be made, with the object of adding a few of the freest bloomers in each month, thus avoiding the error often committed of growing such subjects as mostly flower at one time, after which the garden has a forlorn appearance. The plants should not be blamed for this; the selection is at fault. No amount of time and care can make a garden what it should be if untidy and weedy plants prevail. On the other hand, the most beautiful species, both as regards foliage and flowers, can be just as easily cultivated. The object of this small work is to furnish the names and descriptions of really useful and reliable Hardy and Perennial Plants, suitable for all kinds of flower gardens, together with definite cultural hints on each plant.

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.
