May, June, or Later 



In May not only are many of the spring flowers still in bloom, 

 but the summer groups are hurrying on. The list is therefore 

 long. Beginning in May, many flowers continue until July or 

 August. He who overlooks this "merry month" misses the 

 flowers' choicest gifts. The list here given comprises the most 

 important flowers which begin to blossom in May, but continue 

 into, perhaps, late summer or early autumn. Weeds and unim- 

 portant plants are omitted.
