Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hardy Perennials: Being a Description, With Notes on Habit and Uses, and Directions for Culture and Propagation, of Selected Perennial and Some Biennial Outdoor Plants, Bulbs, and Tubers, Comprising All of the Best Known Genera and Species; Mustrated by 255 Reproductions O It has been a great pleasure to the Author to observe that Hardy Perennials (which include bulbs and tubers as well as fibrous and woody-rooted plants) have been more extensively cultivated during the past few years. That they are deserving of this cannot be doubted, not only on account of their intrinsic merits as ornamental subjects for the garden, and for cut bloom (for which many are well suited), but also because they arc easy to grow in the open without the aid of any artificial heat, and require but little attention, and may almost all, too, be propagated in the open by division, an easy process, requiring but little, if any, previous experience. Most, moreover, will thrive not only in country air, but also near cities and towns (including London), being thus available for that rapidly increasing section of gardeners, the small suburban householder. As nearly all can now be bought at reasonable prices ready to plant out, there is no reason why every garden, however small, should not contain a goodly representation of them. A selection can be made (if the whole be not cultivated) to provide outdoor flowers during almost every week of the year (except during frost), so that a garden thus stocked need scarcely ever be without bloom of some sort. Amongst them subjects can be found for every position, whether in sun, half or full shade, or even under trees, making them peculiarly adapted to small walled and shut-in gardens.
