108 MY GARDEN 



In another corner that lovely and courageously 

 magenta sprawler, Callirhoe involucrata, glistens ex- 

 quisitely through the mist, and white Lilies rise in silver 

 harmony behind. The double-flowered Gypsophila is a 

 less ethereal but very beautiful plant and should find a 

 home hi every garden. The single sort is easily raised 

 from seed but does not make any great show until the 

 third year. G. repens is a fine little trailer for the edge 

 of the border with a long period of bloom. 



The Moonpenny Daisies, Chrysanthemum maximum, 

 are invaluable among mid-summer flowers. They make 

 stout bushy clumps of dark foliage, two to three feet 

 tall, with large, glistening, marguerite-like flowers of 

 much substance. They spread broadly and should be 

 divided every year, and they enjoy a moderately rich 

 soil and sunshine. Good varieties are Mrs. C. Low- 

 thian Bell, King Edward VII, Robinsoni, Mrs. F. 

 Daniels, Mrs. Terstag, Alaska, and Kenneth. They are 

 easily raised from seed and last a long time in bloom. 

 The china whiteness of these blooms is a little hard so 

 that they are at their best when associated with the soft- 

 ening influence of such plants as the Artemisias, Rue, 

 Stachys, Gypsophila, and Lyme Grass. 



Goat's Rue (Galega officinalis) is a soft-coloured de- 

 lightful plant of the present season with attractive 

 foliage and a good habit of growth. It is fine with 

 Campanula lactoflora var. magnifica and late Orange 

 Lilies. The delicate lavender sort is the prettiest, I think,
