PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FOR A FLOWER BORDER 
The flower border can be a very pleasing and colorful part of the garden. Most everyone 
has planted solid beds of one kind of flower, such as Zinnias. Other flowers blooming at the 
same time could be planted with them to offer contrast and variety and to give a wider choice 
of cut flowers. The dwarfer kinds are placed in the very front either in a continuous row or 
broken by bold bands of different kinds. Between the front planting and the rear which takes 
the tallest varieties we place those of intermediate height, always the taller behind the smaller. 
Choose your favorites from the suggestions below. Gypsophila, Nigella, Queen Anne’s Lace, and 
Shasta Daisies blend their colors into a harmonious border.
