IN MY LADY'S GARDEN 



Amongst the flowers for August the Japanese anemones 

 are useful, especially when left severely alone for years, and 

 allowed to form great clumps of foliage and flowers. There 

 are now many beautiful hybrids, such as A. japonica Queen 

 Charlotte, in pale pink ; Prince Heinrich, a double crimson 

 flower ; and Silver-cup, a semi-double white variety ; as 

 well as the older form, Honorine Joubert, a lovely single 

 flower. Then there are the heleniums, of which the variety 

 Striatum grandicephalum is one of the best, with apricot 

 blossoms striped with crimson a most effective flower in 

 the early autumn, both for cutting and in the border ; and 

 a mass of rich mauve daisies are produced both in spring 

 and again in September by Erigeron speciosum, one of the 

 most floriferous of plants, which makes itself at home in 

 any position.
