SEEDS FOR THE PERENNIAL BORDER 
A Perennial Border 
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 t o 
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.
