MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 105 
April and May will be replaced by a new floral display for _ 
the summer months, The effect of the three gardens, with 
the trellis and arbor work, will be retained, but in the borders 
will be shown such flowering plants as be es greenhouse 
oad even during warm weather. Hydrangeas in pink, 
lue, and white, purple achimenes, many varieties of fuchsia, 
and velvety gloxinias in shades of pink, blue, and purple will 
form the greater part of this exhibit. Fancy-leaved caladi- 
ums will also be on display, while tuberous begonias will vie 
with the gloxinias in variety of form and color. 
In the floral alcoves will be found many of the late- 
flowering orchids which, while not presenting the color 
effect of the winter-blooming varieties, may prove of greater 
interest because of their rarity. Many other tropical plants, 
seldom seen even in greenhouses, will be placed in these 
alcoves as they come into bloom. 
Of the various out-door displays, especial attention should 
be called to the rose garden in which many plants are now 
coming into bloom. | :
