128 PETER’ HENDERSON'S: CATAEOGUE. 
DESIGNS 
FOR 
FLOWER BEDS. 
It is often troublesome for some who purpose setting out plants in the grounds 
surrounding their dwellings to decide on some suitable shape for their flower beds or what 
varieties of plants will give the finest display. For the convenience of such we have 
illustrated a few simple and effective designs, any of which can be produced at a comparatively 
small cost, and are easily kept in good order, On an average bedding plants can be set one 
foot apart, so that persons knowing the size of their flower beds can easily estimate about 
what number they will require. We will make special prices where large quantities are 
wanted. Flowering plants require no attention after being set out, though foliage plants, such 
as Coleus, Achyranthus, etc., need to be “pinched back” once in while, when they grow 
stragglingly, or to keep them down to the height required. 
Designs same as those shown, but on a larger or smaller scale, as desired, can, of course, | 
q 
be made, giving a proportionate effect. The varieties of plants shown in our engravings are 
not arbitrary at all, but can be changed, and other kinds used to suit different tastes. In 
making the estimates below, we have allowed for the plants to be set closer than one foot apart, 
so that customers purchasing any of the selections can rely on having a good display early 
in the season.
