is the border devoted to hardy perennials, usually 
called “the old-fashioned” or “grandmother’s 
garden.” Their permanent nature and delightful 
forms and color, their wealth of blooms and con¬ 
tinuous display throughout the year are good reasons why 
perennials are general favorites with everybody.
