PERENNIAL HERBACEOUS PLANTS.

Perennial herbaceous Plants adapted for Cemeteries and Churchyards.

For planting in dug ground, whether in beds or over graves, every description of herbaceous plant, except those which require peat soil, is eligible; but for planting on turf to form single specimens, or what gardeners call "lawn plants," a selection requires to be made of such as have peculiar properties. These are considerable bulk above ground; great natural hardiness of stem and foliage and durability of root; under-ground buds, or strong surface stocks, that will be secure from injury during the winter or dormant season; a compact habit of growth both of the roots and top; and sufficient natural vigour not to be injured by the compact texture of a grassy surface. The common pæony, the rhubarb, and the asparagus, are good examples of the kind of plant required; and the following list includes such plants, and a few others which may be procured in the principal botanic gardens and nurseries. The prices, when a single plant is ordered, vary from 3d. to 1s. 6d.
