Border of 

 Perennial Delights 

 Costs Little 



A strip of ground, perhaps along the 

 fence or in front of a hecfge; careful dig- 

 ging, and just a little humus or fertilizer; a 

 modest investment in plants that will do the work; 

 and anyone who has the soil and is eager to grow some 

 flowers, may in a short time succeed in having an attractive 

 old-fashioned garden. The delights of the hardy herbaceous 

 border, such as is shown above, are constant and perpetual. Once 

 planted, a border like this will increase in beauty from year to year. It 

 will present a pretty picture all summer, and will keep the home supplied 

 with cut flowers from early in June until frost nips the last Daisies or Asters or 

 other late flowering perennials. Lovett's Complete Hardy Border Consists
