_ Plan a perennial border as a part of your outdoor living-room. A well-planted border is colorful and fits into any garden scheme. You 
will be proud to show your friends the results of your efforts. 
There are many ways to plant a perennial border. If you are planning on carrying out a formal garden, a straight-line border fits 
better in your scheme, such as shown above. But if you are trying to carry out an informal scheme, a curved border would be better, as 
shown on the plan below. A perennial border is always best planted along a border or dividing line, along a picket fence or in front of 
shrubbery. It is never advisable to put it in the middle of the lawn. The length as well as the width depends on the space that you have 
available. Our perennial booklet, offered free on our order sheet, will go more into detail regarding planting a perennial border. You will 
find it helpful. 
Here's How— 
to Make a Perennial Border 

Plan for a Border 5 feet wide and 20 feet long 
OR an abundance of color through the summer months, perennials are an indispensable part of the home-garden, as well as a con- 
venient source of cut-flowers for indoor decoration. By planning your border in advance you can arrange perennials to make a pleasing 
picture. (The sketch above is a suggestion for grouping plants in irregular masses and may well serve as a guide for planning a border 
of any size.) 
The plants we have selected in the three groups listed below were chosen for their free-flowering habit, their hardiness and their vigor. 
Although the sketch above provides for a border 5 ft. wide and 20 ft. long, it can easily be adapted to accommodate whatever space is
