(London, 1917); H. H. Thomas's "The Complete 

 Gardener" (London, 1912) ; and Mabel Cabot Sedg- 

 wick's "The Garden Month by Month" (New York, 

 1907). 



ANEMONE STELLATA requires a sheltered, 

 warm position and light, sandy soil, well drained. It 

 grows about ten inches high with star-like flowers, 

 purple, rose-color, and white. Generally speaking, 

 it requires the same treatment as the tulip. Anem- 

 ones also flourish in the rock-garden. 



BOX can be grown in almost any soil, but prefers 

 light soil with gravelly subsoil. See page 297. 



BROOM-FLOWER (Cytisus scoparius), a 

 splendid flowering shrub with yellow flowers of 

 handsome color, succeeds in dry, sandy places where 

 most other plants fail. It can, therefore, be planted 

 on rough dry banks. It grows from seed; and this 

 can be sown in any sheltered place out of doors. 

 Cuttings placed in a frame are also easy to strike. 



CAMOMILE will grow in any garden soil. It is 

 a creeping plant and grows freely in dense masses. 

 The flowers are white and blossom from June to 

 August. The height attained is from twelve to 

 eighteen inches. The foliage is finely divided and 

 has a feathery appearance. The plant makes a good 

 border, for it loves the sun. Propagate by division
