Mass Colors Most Effective 
Plant perennials in groups for best results. Set out three to five plants of the same 
variety together so that they will make a good mass of color when they are in bloom. 
Plant the low-growing things in the front of the garden, medium ones in the middle, 
and tall ones at the back. Remember, too, that perennials flower at different times 
during the season, and be sure to have in your garden some that will be in bloom 
early, some during midsummer, and others that bloom m the fall.
