^ A wall garden which illus- 



trates how effectively peren- 

 nials can be used in this way. The 

 pleasures of such a garden are not 

 for the large estate exclusively. 

 Many small lawns have embank- 

 ments that could be retained in this manner, which 

 is much easier to care for than a terrace. 



Five or more plants of any one variety and size at price per 10; 25 or more at price per 100.
