ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Planting Table for Flowers 



In planning the garden it is very essential to have some guide as to the 

 proper time to sow the seeds, and it is equally important to know the color and 

 the height to which the plant will grow under average conditions so that a 

 proper color scheme and arrangement may be worked out. The following con- 

 densed table is intended to serve this purpose. The selection of varieties in- 

 cludes the most common as well as* the most satisfactory flowers to grow. The 

 annuals are all hardy except one or two half hardy kinds. The perennials have 

 been carefully selected, and the few that are biennials in Canada are indicated 

 by a (x). In with the perennial list are a few summer flowering bulbs marked 

 "b".
