Beauty with 
ERE in this wonderful collection of J.& P. 
Modern Perennials—pages 24 to 39 and 
the back cover—is a veritable wellspring 
of color and fragrance, from the first days of 
spring till the heavy snows of winter. Here 
in ever-changing panorama there is overflowing 
abundance—from creeping ground-cover to 
tall background sentinel—from bright hues 
for compelling display all through the gamut 
of color to cool blues that give your garden 
greater depth. Could great-grandmother re- 
visit this mid-20th-century world, nothing 
would thrill her more than these miraculously 
transformed Perennials she loved! How amaz-

exquisite colors, rugged hardiness, freedom 
from plant ills, etc. Creations and selections
