Henderson’s Imperishable Perennial Border for $25. 00 
A plan for a typical Hardy Perennial Border is shown at the side of 
this page. To make one like it 5 x 50 feet would require 100 plants. 
We list below 30 varieties of contrasts heights and colors and the 
number of plants for each up. The number after each variety 
gives the position in which t ey should be eplanted: Should any of the 
varieties be sold out when the order is filled we will substitute similar 
sorts unless instructed to the contrary.
