AN EFFECTIVE BORDER PLANTED WITH PERENNIALS AND BIENNIALS 
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. : ; ; f ‘ 
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 
OR an abundance of color through the summer months, perennials are an indispensable part of the home garden, as well as a convenient sourcé 
F 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 fcr their free-flowering habit, their hardiness and their vigor. Although 
the sketch above provides for a border 5 feet wide and 20 feet long, it can easily be adapted to accommodate whatever space is available in your 
garden.
