plants will bring great reward in prolonging 

 their lives for possibly two weeks longer. 



If seedling Foxgloves, Canterbury Bells, 

 Columbines and Sweet Williams have been 

 raised in your garden, they should be trans- 

 planted to the beds about the twentieth of 

 September, so that they may become well 

 rooted before the cold weather. 



Sweet Williams make a fine effect when 

 planted in large masses, and are very satis- 

 factory grown as an edging. Columbines 

 also make a good edging for a border filled 

 with perennials and annuals. If the plants 

 are strong and healthy, and are set out 

 about four inches apart, they will grow 

 quite together the following Spring. 



Foxgloves, which grow from three to four 

 feet high, should be planted rather far back 

 in the borders. They are most effective 

 planted in clumps of from six to a dozen 

 plants, set about eight inches apart, and 

 alternating with clumps of Phloxes. 



Canterbury Bells grow about two feet
