THE JOYOUS ART OF GARDENING 



I. Zinnias (salmon-pink and 

 maroon). 



Shirley Poppies and Corn- 

 flowers. 



Edging of Dwarf Sweet 

 Alyssum. 



II. Sweet Peas. 



Mourning-Bride. 



Yellow and white annual 

 Lupin. 



Edging of Dianthus Sal- 

 mon King. 



For the first bed sow the zinnias so that the seedlings will 

 be six inches apart; after the poppies and corn-flowers have 

 gone by, pull up the stalks and move forward the alternate 

 zinnias so that they stand a foot apart. For the second bring 

 forward the seedlings of mourning-bride after the lupin has 

 passed. 



III. Coreopsis atrosanguinea. 

 White Petunias. 

 California Poppies (edg- 

 ing). 



IV. Double row of Gladioli 

 (pink and white and 

 pale yellow). 



White or pink Balsam. 



Edging of Phlox Drum- 

 mondii. 



The third bed is for a shady place. For the fourth, when 

 double rows are used, as with the gladioli, set the plants al- 

 ternately so :

V. Nicotiana (Tobacco-Plant) 

 Dwarf Nasturtiums (ma- 

 roon-red and yellow). 

 Edging of Dwarf French 

 Marigolds. 



VI. African Marigolds (yellow 



and orange). 

 Blue and white annual 



Larkspur. 

 Edging of Mignonette. 



The fifth bed will grow for anybody. The sixth is perhaps 

 the most difficult. After the larkspur has gone by push for- 

 ward the surplus marigolds, which will bloom until frost,
