HARDY BORDER TREASURES 
For lawn borders, the “wall” of the outdoor 
living room, formal gardens, foundation plant¬ 
ings, backgrounds, or to lighten shrubbery 
masses, the taller hardy perennials will always 
be needed. Some of them, too, are excellent for 
summer cutting, others for naturalizing. Many 
splendid, but unusual, kinds are offered here.
