Commenting on some of the plants in the above list, the Sweet 

 Alyssum has already been mentioned as a good edging plant. 

 Thorburn's Dwarf Bouquet is a small variety of it. 



The Candytufts are particularly useful, because they come early 

 into bloom, and will grow almost anywhere. A good strain of 

 carmine is one of the brightest and most useful Annuals we have. 



The varieties of annual Chrysanthemum called Morning Star 

 and Evening Star, which are different shades of yellow, are very 

 desirable. The amateur should also grow Chrysanthemum Burrid- 

 geanum, which will give some darker shades. 



Of the Clarkias, elegans rosea must be included whatever else 

 is left out. It is a very graceful plant, one of the earliest to 

 come into bloom, and one of the last to go out. 



The Eschscholtzias are very bright, and will grow anywhere. 

 Californica and Mandarin are orange, Rose Cardinal rose. These 

 plants have very finely cut foliage. 



The Godetias should be regarded as indispensable. They are 

 not very early bloomers, but they last a long time. They will 

 stand drought better than most plants if they are raised sturdily. 

 Dwarf Pink, Schamini, Lady Albemarle, and Duchess of Albany 

 are good varieties.
