Perennial Flowers Most perennials are best planted In the Fall. Kail perennials bloom early In the spring, gut a good start and are hardy, and when they are once plant d they are done, for years. Our grandmothers loved the peren- nial flower garden, with beds In a group, but most moderns prefer to plant their perennlols in long borders to ilrivos, close to the foundation, or In front of hedges. One .should take care to mix some K.I i.i fertilizer with the soil as the perennials will have to feed on it for years. There is no limit to the varie- ties you may choose for your perennial fli.iwt.T. Some old favorites are Iris, In dozens of varieties; the hardy phlox, gay peonies, wind-blown colum- bine; graceful delphinium, hollyhocks which add a charm to a garden which nothing elso can give.
