PERENNIAL 

 BORDER 



in this connection 

 means a large bed, 

 often of irregular out- 

 line, bordering on, or 

 backing up against, a 

 house, fence, shrub- 

 bery or trees, with 

 low plants at the 

 edge, grading back to 

 tallest ones at the 

 back. When once es- 

 tablished, with proper 

 selection, it will show 

 bloom from earliest 

 spring to late frosts. 

 The following list in- 

 cludes the most pop- 

 ular sorts, aside from 

 those described in 

 regular alphabetical 

 order.
