HARDY PERENNIALS 
The ever-increasing demand for hardy perennials is testimony 
enough to the adaptability of these gay flowers in making modern 
gardens more colorful—more enjoyable. In the border plant them in 
groups of three or more to give substantial color masses. Arrange the 
taller growing varieties to the back, and design the border with a 
season-through color effect in mind. Space about the same distance 
as the height of the variety. Heights and blooming times are given in 
the descriptions.
