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 contrasting heights and colors and the 

 number of plants for each group. The number after each variety 

 gives the position in which they should be planted. Should any of the 

 varieties be sold out when the order is filled we will substitute similar 

 sorts unless instructed to the contrary.
