June, July, and August 



Beginning with June, the summer flowers replace those of 

 early spring, many of them continuing in bloom through July, 

 August, and even September. As a rule, perhaps, we may say 

 that they are more hardy than spring flowers, since they are 

 obliged to endure greater heat and drought. Roadside plants and 

 weeds now flourish, as well as many which seek the shade of cool 

 woods. The list following includes those flowers which come 

 into bloom first in June.
