“. . Such gardens are not made, by saying, ‘Oh! 
How beautifull’, and sitting in the shade.”

Inia Borders 
You'll note the plan units are divided into small squares. These represent square feet in the garden 
and from them you can estimate how much space a given group of the various plants requires. The 
figure in each space is the suggested quantity of that variety of plant or bulb for the space. 
eties will be sold out. 
Note, also, that the general color effect is given and in some cases the month of bloom. Neither Iris 
nor Narcissus need this to be given. A careful study of the scheme will give you a fairly clear mental 
picture of the garden plot as it blooms. If you know all the plant varieties used you will get a very 
clear picture. It is these mental pictures that make your garden planning a success with these unit 
plans. They give you ready-made combinations, planned for pleasing color schemes and succession of 
bloom. 
Maybe you say a 5-foot wide border is too wide. Then stretch the scheme out to 4 x 12 feet. It will 
give about the same area. Or widen it out to 6 x 8 feet. The plant material needed will be about the 
same and the color scheme or succession of bloom will be identical. 

and plant. But make your plan first. A good garden doesn’t just 
happen. There is much study first.
