Relative Salt Tolerance of Four Herbaceous Perennial Ornamentals
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this manuscript, the author explains about relative salt tolerance of four herbaceous Perennial Ornamentals. In my opinion, results are not enough to support this MS for publication in the current format.
To be specific,
1. There are no morphological pictures to support the results.
2. There is no mention of the change in photosynthesis. Like Fv/Fm or Chlorophyll content.
3. The author should also do Electrolyte leakage experiment.

Reviewer 2 Report
It is an interesting study useful to the scientific community. Manuscript may be accepted with minor edits as suggested below Page 2, line 68: Delete “and were received on January 11, 2018” Page 2, line 69: Delete “the following day” Page 2, line 70: Replace “On January 26” with “15 days after transplanting” Page 2, line 81: Replace “on February 9, 2018” with “29 days after transplanting” Page 3, line 88: RH may not vary 17% – 46% during the crop growth period. Please check. Page 3, line 111-112: replace “submitted to the Soil, Water, and Forage Testing Laboratory at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX” with “used for analysis” Page 3, line 126: Delete “throughout the experiment”. On graph it looks lesser than 8. Please rewrite the statement.Author Response
