shrubs, and have a happy way of seeding themselves and September, 

 reappearing another year. White Cosmos, growing a foot Late 

 or so taller, looks very well associated with them, and lasts Annuals 

 till November. 



Gorgeous effects of orange and red are easily attainable 

 now, with such plants as Nasturtiums, Marigolds tall and 

 dwarf, single and double Gaillardias, Zinnias, Escboltxia, 

 Viscaria, Coreopsis, etc. Next to the orange such purple 

 annuals as Whitlavia, Salvia horminum, Linaria, etc., give 

 brilliance. There are numbers of other useful annuals, but a 

 few which should not be omitted are, late-sown Sweet Peas, 

 Antirrhinums, Nicotiana affinis, and the new pink N. Saun- 

 derce, Autumn Stocks, Salpiglossis with its fine range of 

 colours and finely-shaped and veined flowers and Marguerite 

 Carnations. The latter must be raised in heat early in the 

 year ; if planted out in May they will flower well through the 

 autumn and up to the end of November out of doors, and can 

 then be potted up and grown in the greenhouse through the 

 winter. 



The biennial Campanula pyramidalis is a most adaptable 

 plant, excellent for pot culture, and prospers in shade or sun. 

 It seeds and establishes itself, sometimes in such unlikely spots 

 as a gravel path or a brick wall. Under trees the individual 

 flowers are generally larger and the spikes more graceful. For 

 pots, seed should be sown in May or June, and the young 

 plants kept in a cold frame through the winter. If given 

 plenty of good nourishment they lose the rather sturdy growth 

 which they have out of doors, and make several graceful spires 

 five to eight feet long. So much effect is given from one pot 

 that they are particularly useful for filling up gaps made by
