BOLGIANO'S PERENNIAL BORDER 



Instead of offering a long list of perennials from which the novice is expected to make proper selections, we have 

 prepared a special plan for a moderate sized Perennial Border and also recommended the proper plants to use. 



The plan shown is for a border 25 feet long and 5 feet deep. The location of each kind of plant is shown on the 

 plan by a key number followed by the number of plants to be planted in that particular location. 



The planting list shows the kind of plant corresponding to each key number, the total quantity, the distance apart 

 that they are to be planted, the height to which it grows, the color of the flower and the approximate period of bloom. 



This border insures the maximum of beauty because the arrangement has all been planned in advance with due 

 regard to size, color and period of bloom. Interesting contrasts and harmonious combinations of plants are thus affected. 



And the effect is permanent because they are all perennials and live in the ground from year to year. With average 

 care as to watering and weeding, this Perennial Border should gain in beauty every year.
