AMERICAN HOME GARDEN. 



bloom freely and constantly. These, added to a small number 

 of well-managed autumnal and ever-blooming roses, and the 

 ordinary annuals, particularly Portulacca and Schizanthus, and 

 some biennials, as Sweet Scabious and Larkspurs, will make the 

 garden perpetually gay. 



As a farther aid to this end, I have inserted the following 

 list of trees and shrubs, perennials and biennials, bulbous and 

 tuberous roots, &c., which, with ordinary treatment in the open 

 ground, and in similar soils and latitudes, nearly correspond in 

 their times of blossoming, and follow and interlink with one 

 another almost in the order in which they are given.
