1 66 FLOWER GARDENING 



best way to grow the beautiful Anemone St. Brigid 

 in the North for cutting as well as other perilous- 

 ly tender bulbs and perennials. 



The planting of the cutting garden, of course, 

 should be so arranged as to give it the longest 

 possible season. April to October, inclusive, is 

 not a difficult range for bloom, and during the 

 remainder of the year evergreen foliage and ber- 

 ries are easily available. The common black alder, 

 or winterberry (Ilex verticillata) has excellent red 

 berries for cutting.
