FLOWERING PERENNIALS 
The Hardy Garden Flowers 
P ERENNiALS are delightful when arranged in borders with an assortment of varieties so that some are 
always in bloom. For new beds prepare the soil by spading and raking and dig in fertilizer-—-5 lbs. of 
"LOMA" plant food to each 100 sq. ft. of area is excellent. A location away from tree roots and dense 
shade is best. 
:: ROCK GARDEN PLANTS. Varieties marked with a star (*) are adapted to rockeries.
