MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 53 
Cut-flower Border— Many annuals and perennials are 
desirable not only for the pleasing effects produced in 
masses, but also because of the quantity of cut-flowers pro-. 
duced which may be used for home decorating. 
The representative collection grown in the cut-flower 
border does not exhaust the list of plants possible, but is 
comprehensive enough for general purposes.
