Very popular with busy gardeners these past few years because once they are planted they require only 
a minimum of attention and still thrive and make beautiful their surroundings. With so much demand for 
workers of all kinds in various undertakings connected with the successful progress of the war, “time savers” 
like Perennials are more than welcome. If you are making a new Perennial border this spring, be sure it is at 
least five feet long. Plant in clumps of three or more of one variety for best effect.
