GORGEOUS FLOWERING EFFECTS 



While luxuriant foliage seems to me the first thing to provide 

 for, the "man from Missouri" will want to know what are the 

 showiest flowers he can have in a bog garden. Here is a short list. 

 Are these flowers large enough? 



Siberian iris, 4. inches. 



Tall yellow iris, 5 inches. 



Japanese iris, Q to 12 inches. 



*Lilium Canadense, 4 inches. 



*Lilium superbum, 4 to 5 inches. 



Hibiscus Crimson Eye, 5 to 6 inches. 



^Hibiscus Moscheutos, 5 to 6 inches. 



Hibiscus Mallow Marvels, 6 to 10 inches. 



And if our Missouri friend still doubts whether a bog garden 

 is any good let him consider the following plants which have smaller 

 individual flowers but are notoriously splendid in mass : 



*Asclepias incarnata. 



*Caltha palustris, (see plate 100).
