FRITZ BAHR SAYS: 
There is nothing to compare 
with a wonderful showing of 
perennials. Throughout the 
entire summer you can have 
growing such plants as Del¬ 
phiniums, Hardy Phlox, Peo¬ 
nies, Iris and thousands of other 
varieties of plants. These come 
into bloom from early spring 
until late fall. With little care, 
plantings of this sort will last 
many years. This, in itself, is 
of great interest to the planter 
of flowers.
