FOR THE HOME BEAUTIFUL 201 



cut down by frost, we will reap much enjoyment 

 from this gorgeous flower. 



During the month of October, and remaining 

 with us until after snow flies, we will have the 

 lovely hardy chrysanthemums, queens of all late 

 garden flowers. The tritoma or red-hot poker 

 plant, the hardy sunflower, windflowers or anemone 

 are all still with us brightening the landscape at 

 this late season. 



Even though the bleak days of November are 

 at hand, the viola cornuta, sometimes known as 

 little "johnny- jump-up," still is showing its face, 

 after having already bloomed for seven or eight 

 months. 



So it is readily seen that we may have the com- 

 panionship of bright, beautiful flowers on our 

 lawns and in our gardens during every month of 

 the year from March to November, and even dur- 

 ing the months in which we can expect no flowers 

 outside, we may still enjoy the sight of beautiful 

 evergreens, and such of the shrubs as have attrac- 

 tive twigs, bright colored barks and showy berries.
