Mrs. King's book "Planning Your 
Planting" is ready! See Page 3. 
Mrs. Francis King Says: 
"The perennial plant is the cornerstone of the 
good garden. It is the persisting, permanent 
thing. Buy even one small perennial this 
year; next year, if the season has been good, 
it will be twice or three times as large as your 
purchase. Irises, delphiniums, phloxes and 
many other plants will increase tremendously 
if carefully planted and cared for. 
"Placing of perennials in the border is very 
important. Tall things, like delphiniums, 
hollyhocks, tall hardy asters, golden glow, 
physosiegia, taller phloxes should stand at 
the back; peonies look well toward the front 
of the planting and low-growing veronicas, 
hardy alyssum, pinks, sweet williams toward 
the very edge. As a rule plants of medium 
height, from 2 to 3 feet tall, look best between 
the tallest and the lowest, but this rule should 
never be too strictly kept for there is some¬ 
times more charm in placing plants the way 
you yourself want them."
