Perennial Plants for Beds and Borders 
The garden is not complete without little seasonal touches of 
color and interesting flowers. Plant some between those favorite 
shrubs, under trees where they cover bulbs or just in a perennial 
border where a succession of bloom is achieved by a skillful plant- 
ing of many kinds, each in sufficient number to make a show in 
its season. Most of the following are perennial or live for several 
seasons so the soil in which they are planted should be well en- 
riched with manure and spaded deep and well. When planting 
mix a handful of bone meal to each plant. Be sure all fertilizers 
are well mixed with the soil and do not come in contact with 
the roots. 
Plants marked with * are also available in 4-inch plant bands 
at 35c cents each or 3 for $1.00. 
Price of perennial plants 75c per doz., $2.50 per flat 
except where noted.
