The above plan and method of se- 
lection of the different height plants 
applies to the perennial border, plant- 
ed on the lot line, or against a back- 
ground of shrubs or a hedge or fence. 
If the bed is placed in a central loca- 
tion, and not used in or as a border, 
the tall plants are planted in the cen- 
ter and the other two classes gradu- 
ated down to the four edges of the 
bed.
