are sometimes made by the most careful 

 seedsmen. 



Godetias are valuable annuals, giving for 

 the three months from June until September 

 continuous bloom in purple, red and white 

 flowers, white blotched with red, and pink 

 spotted with crimson. They should be set 

 a foot apart and do well in a somewhat 

 poor soil and in partially shaded places. If 

 the seed pods are cut continually they make 

 a long period of bloom and are as satisfac- 

 tory in a border as Phlox Drummondi. 



In a bed containing three dozen plants of 

 Tritoma Pfitzirii, set two feet and a half 

 apart to give full room to spread out as 

 they became large, I planted scarlet Zinnias 

 to fill up the rather sad-looking bed for the 

 first Summer. Imagine the horrible effect 

 when in mid-July both plants began to 

 bloom at the same time Tritomas orange 

 scarlet and Zinnias salmon pink. Suppos- 

 edly scarlet Zinnia seed had been sown, but 

 it proved upon blossoming to be pink.
