 means a large bed , 

 often of irregular 

 outline, bordering 

 on, or backing up 

 against, a house, 

 fence, shrubbery 

 or trees, with low 

 plants at the edge, 

 grading back to 

 tallest ones at the 

 back. When once 

 established, with 

 proper selection.it 

 will show bloom 

 from earliest 



spring to late 

 frosts. The follow- 

 ing list includes 

 the most popular 

 sorts, aside from 

 those described in

 cal order.
