 does not please you? If so, look over the list of pot=grown Hardy Perennial Plants here offered and you will likely find the 

 subject that you need for just such fill-up work and adjustment, or, an equally satisfactory selection can be made for the planting 

 of entire new beds or borders.

 better display next summer.
