Bolgiano's Perennial Border 



Instead of offering a long list of perennials, 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. 



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 hamionious combinations of plants are thus affected. 



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

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