Illustrated in color on pages 90 and 91. 
The two perennial borders shown in natural color 
on pages 90 and 91 are each 18 feet long and 5 feet 
wide. You can reproduce these in your own garden 
without trouble. We are showing below planting plans 
and two lists of plants used in the making of these 
borders. If you want to make a longer border than 1 8 
feet, simply repeat the units and the effect will be 
very fine. 
The borders should have full sun for at least a good 
part of the day, and should be protected from severe 
winds. All plants are hardy and do not require pam¬ 
pering. Beds must be well drained. Different soils, 
widely separated locations, all have a bearing on the 
ultimate results, but if you have patience and are 
willing to use good plants, giving them reasonable 
care, success will be yours. 
Why not send for our portfolio of garden plans con¬ 
taining hundreds of practical suggestions? It is known 
as "Garden Building Blox," and costs $1.00. See the 
back cover of this catalog for more information. 
Planting Plan for the May-June; July-August Garden 
Tall clumps of Siberian Iris with Hemerocallis, German Iris, and Lupines 
form the background. In the foreground are early Veronicas, Coralbells, 
Scotch Pinks, and Dianthus Essex Witch, making a beautiful grouping for 
May and June. The place of these early flowers is taken in midsummer by 
Phlox, Shasta Daisies, Platycodon, and Tiger Lilies, which are at their best 
in July and August. 
If you would like to reproduce this border in your garden we will furnish 
the plants required for the special price of $20.00 for the Early Garden.
