THE GARDEN WEEK BY WEEK 



June border. Biebersteinii and Tomentosum are both popular 

 ^~^5 species. 



Cheiranthus Marshalli is a beautiful bright orange 

 Wallflower-Hke plant (the Wallflower bears the botanical 

 name of Cheiranthus Cheiri), of which seeds can be got 

 sometimes. It is a hardy perennial, of compact habit, 

 and blooms freely, so that it is well worth growing. Its 

 height is about fifteen inches. 



Chelone Barbata, which some seedsmen offer, is really 

 a Pentstemon (P. Barbatus). It grows about two feet 

 high, and has red flowers; Torreyi is a larger form 

 of it. 



The Giant White Shasta and Moon Daisies (Chrysan- 

 themum Leucanthemum and C. Maximum) are valuable 

 border plants, growing about two feet high, and spread- 

 ing, in the case of large clumps in rich, moist soil, to four 

 or five feet across. 



Cimicifuga Cordifolia, the Bugwort, with its tall racemes 

 of white flowers, is a handsome plant, worth growing in 

 any border. 



The Cisiuses, or Rock Roses, can be raised from seed 

 if desired. 



Convolvulus Mauritanicus is a splendid trailer, with 

 large violet flowers, which one sometimes sees on large 

 rockeries. 



Coreopsis Grandiflora and C. Lanceolata are two good 

 yellow perennial species of a genus which is perhaps 

 best known through its annual members, Coronata, 

 Drummondii, and Tinctoria. C. Lanceolata is a good 

 plant. 



Coronilla Varia, the Crown Vetch, with rose flowers, 

 and growing about eighteen inches high, is also an 

 excellent border plant. 



Corydalis Nobilis, the Fumitory, a dwarf plant with
