PERENNIALS 
Sooner or later every home owner wants to have a flower

garden 
it. We 
Perh aps the ideal location for a flower garden is near to, and centered 
on the axis of a porch, terrace, doorway or prominent window. It should 
be placed as closely to the house as possible, so that the ever changing 
colors of the perennials and annuals throughout the spring, summer and 
fall may be observed and enjoyed at every passing moment. If the garden 
is centered on an axis as mentioned above, it preferably should be formal 
in character and have some feature such as a bench, pool or statue at 
the other end of the axis. The garden should be enclosed at least on several 
sides by a hedge or shrub border. This will tend to make the garden more 
private and form a background for the flowers. If many perennials are to 
be used, the beds should be large enough to allow for a sufficient number 
of plants to give a good effect throughout the summer. In a small garden 
it is wise to plant fewer perennials and rely on annuals to supply the quota 
of the summer blooms. 
If a garden near the house is not feasable, flowers planted in a border 
in front of shrubs will make a splendid showing, especially if care is taken 
to select varieties that will give continuous bloom.
