GOLDENRODS AND SUNFLOWERS 



We are so used to seeing the Goldenrods in our fields 

 and along our highways that too few of us appreciate 

 their beauty. Very few perennials can compare with 

 them, however, and in other countries they are highly 

 prized for garden planting. The color harmonies of the 

 asters and goldenrods in American landscapes are most 

 beautiful and these plants are well worth growing 

 together in border gardens, especially in front of thickets 

 of shrubs or trees. The species found in any locality 

 serve very well for garden planting. They may readily 

 be transplanted late in autumn or early in spring to 

 rich, moist soil. With good treatment they improve 

 greatly in the garden. 



Various other composite perennials are more or less 

 grown in border gardens. The various Sunflowers, 

 Pyrethrums, Coneflowers, and Heleniums are the most 

 important of these. They are all hardy and of easiest 

 culture.
