What plants/flowers would have been historically planted in the midwest at the turn of the century?

My home (built 1917) had well-known gardens back in the ’20s and we want to restore them. Does anyone know what sort of plants or flowers would have been common then? And which will keep the gardens looking colourful & lush in at least 3 of the seasons? (I’m in the Great Lakes region)
