Suggestions for Perennial Plantings 
In perennial plantings think of them in 
groups rather than as single plants. 
It is well to bear in mind that such plant¬ 
ings, as a general rule, should be made by 
the grouping together of several plants of the 
same kind. In no other way can the desired 
effect be brought about. During your trips 
into the country, note how nature has grouped 
the wild perennials—a dash of yellow butter¬ 
cups here, a group of wild asters by the road¬ 
side, or a clump of g-oldenrod in its golden 
mass, catching and holding the eye. 
As examples in the arranging of perennial 
plants, we show in the following diagrams the 
proper spacing and suggested arrangement as 
in Plan No. 100. 
Plan No. 101 may in many cases be desir¬ 
able along a driveway. 
Plan No. 102—Is a good suggestion of how 
a perennial planting may be worked out for a 
corner of the yard or a recess in the founda¬ 
tion arrangement. 
Plan No. 103—A grouping of perennials with 
path between may be used to connect the flower 
garden with some main walk from the resi¬ 
dence. 
Plan No. 104—Narrow borders that may be 
arranged to meet varying conditions such as 
trim or margins for a flower garden, a dividing 
line between the lawn and vegetable or flower 
garden and the like.
