PERENNIALS 
A good perennial border is often the most attrac¬ 
tive and satisfying feature of the garden. Use stand¬ 
ard varieties planted in wide border against a good 
background. Have three zones of heights; bulky plants 
in the back, medium heavy and spikey plants in the • 
middle ground and the dwarf varieties in front. Use 
color combinations and not color schemes and do not 
try to plan to have your main show of flowers over 
too long a period. 
We have developed a nice collection of over sixty 
varieties of two-year field grown perennials. Let us 
plan and make a perennial garden for you. Write for 
our special list or come to the nursery and see them.
