A border of quick blooming annuals can be a very pleasing and 
colorful part of the home grounds if carefully planned beforehand. 
The small cost and little effort required to keep it looking well will be 
justifed. 
Usually only one kind of annual is planted in a large bed—such ag 
Zinnia, Marigold, Stocks, ete., with good results. The effect could be 
varied, relieving the monotony of one kind of flower; providing an 
interesting variety for both the home as cut flowers and in the garden, 
by introducing other kinds that harmonize. 
It would be impossible to give explicit directions for the selection 
of varieties because everyone has a preference for certain types. Assum- 
ing the bed is to be in front of a shrubbery border, fence, wall or hedge, 
the rules of planting can be stated for guidance in the selection of 
varieties. 
In the sketch the plants are set according to their height. Start with 
the dwarfer kinds in front and work back to the rear with taller plants. 
The effect will then be a mass of bloom from the low edging to the 
higher background. Always place the taller plants behind the lower. 
A more pleasing effect can be had by making the plantings of bold 
color Jarger, separating them with either white flowers, foliage plants 
or delicate “filler” plants so useful in bouquets.
