Summer bedding is often made by perennial plants which 

 are carried over from the preceding year, or better, which 

 are propagated for that particular purpose in February and 

 March. Such plants as geranium, coleus, alyssum, scarlet 

 salvia, ageratum and heliotrope maybe used for these beds. 

 It is a common practice to use geranium plants which are in 

 bloom during the winter for bedding out during the sum- 

 mer, but such plants are tall and ungainly in form and have 

 expended the greater part of their energies. It is better to 

 propagate new plants by taking cuttings or slips late in the 

 winter and setting out young, fresh, vigorous subjects. 



Very bold and subtropical effects can be made by plant- 

 ing in the open such things as palms, bananas, crotons, 

 araucarias, caladiums and cannas. Plants like bananas and 

 palms, which are kept normally in pots, would better be left 

 in the pots and plunged to the rims rather than turned out
