I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives; I like to see a man who 
lives in it so that his place will be proud of him.

OLD 
AND NEW 
Perennials 
PERENNIALS have never been so popular as they are at the present 
time. They are planted once and they are always there, living through 
the winter with little or no protection, the flowers become better as the plant 
grows older. The old familiar flowers that made grandmother’s garden a 
favorite place are still dear to the hearts of modern home-makers of today. 
Rock gardens, so popular with flower lovers, are no longer found only 
in parks or large estates, but can be had in the small city garden as well. 
They work in particularly with a pool, either formal or informal. Recause 
of the growing interest of this type of perennial, we are including a few of 
those best suited for rock garden culture, and are marking them (*).
