Selected Lovely 
Perennials 
Perennials give a feeling of permanence to any planting. 
They live on for a number of years, growing more showy with 
the passing of time. Most of them are hardy and demand a 
minimum of care, which is an advantage for weekend 
gardeners. 
It’s easy to find a place for perennials, wherever you live. 
Be careful to locate each plant in the spot that will suit it best, 
and make combinations of kinds and colors that will look 
well together. It is quite possible to have handsome color for 
weeks, not only for the garden but for cutting too.

BALLOON FLOWER

only a good garden soil—almost any kind. A place in the sun 
suits it best, and through the hottest weather it can be relied 
on for a steady succession of bloom.
