PLAN FOR A PERENNIAL BORDER 
A simplified plan to fit your space, your location and your pocketbook. An exclusive and original idea of Carroll Gardens to help you have a beautiful perennial 
border at reasonable cost and with minimum care. Read it carefully and decide on the group that fits your purpose best. — 3 
If you are planning a formal garden, a straight-line border fits best into your scheme. But if you are trying for an informal effect, a curved border will be better. 
A perennial border is always best planted along a 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. 
THE PERENNIAL BOOKLET OFFERED FREE ON OUR ORDER SHEET WILL GO INTO MORE DE- 
TAIL REGARDING THE PLANTING OF A PERENNIAL BORDER. YOU WILL FIND IT HELPFUL. 
If this plan doesn’t suit you, why not lay one out for yourself? You'll have lots of fun doing it.

A Keyed Pian for your convenience. A Perennial Border showing the effective use of Summer Phlox. See page 11 for varieties. 
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Here is how the plan works: If you want to use only 24 plants, these will be enough for a bed 8 feet long and 3 feet wide, using one plant for 
each space provided as keyed. If you want to make the bed 16 feet long and 3 feet wide, use 48 plants, or 2 for each space. If you want to make the bed 24 feet long and 3 feet wide, 
use 72 plants, or 3 for each space. 
However, if you have the space and want a really spectacular and colorful border, make the bed 30 feet long and 5 feet wide. Put 6 plants in each space as keyed, and set 
them about 12 inches apart. 
The red mark indicates where groups of spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocus, etc., may be planted to brighten the border in very early spring. 
Peonies, iris and Oriental poppies may be planted where the letters appear.
