Synopsis
Excerpt from Hardy Perennials
The advanced student who honours this work with his attention, and finds that which he deems too Simple and elementary, will, we trust, bear patiently with us, remembering our desire to guide the first steps of the newest recruit to the ranks of gardeners, whilst Should there be among the latter those who find difficulty among the inevitable technicalities, botanical names, and problems that must find a place in a book of this character, let us assure him that patience and perseverance will in due time suffice to enable him to secure a firmer grasp and clearer insight, and to achieve success that will abundantly repay him for the study and effort involved.
The subject throughout will be treated from the general, practical gardening standpoint, rather than from the Scientific or Botanical point of view thus, whilst we in the main interpret our title as applying to hardy herbaceous plants, we Shall not exclude a desirable and serviceable subject for the flower border Simply because its stems do not die down annually in the manner that characterizes true herbaceous perennials and distinguishes them from shrubby or sub-shrubby plants on the one hand and from biennials on the other.
