PERENNIALS FOR DIFFERENT PURPOSES

Whether to use annuals or perennials, what perennials to use fordifferent flowering effects, and how to take care of the perennial gardenare important questions, the correct answers to which make for thesuccess or failure of a flower garden. A flower garden in itself is theintimate companion either of those who own it and enjoy working init, or of those who are only sufficiently interested to be thoroughlysatisfied when an interesting flower effect is produced. There is no partof the field of landscape design, from the standpoint of the professionaldesigner, from which so much criticism can arise as through the failureto produce an interesting flower garden. It is useless to discuss thequestion of taste, concerning the individual preferences for variouscolours of garden flowers; yet to everyone the successful garden im-plies a garden filled with flowers. The proper relationship between theunusual types and unusual effects becomes a secondary and yet animportant consideration.
