A LITTLE BOOK OF PERENNIALS 



Propagation. The seed should he sown in the Spring and the 

 plants spaced at 18 inches apart. The best method is to divide the 

 roots. Save even the smallest roots when the plant is dug, because if 

 they are cut into 2-inch lengths and placed in a sandy soil they will 

 produce little plants. When well started these new plants may be 

 placed in their permanent quarters.

 Chamomile

 is about 1 foot ot1}4 feet high, very bushy with finely cut foliage some- 

 what resembling the Pyrethrums, and bears Daisy -like, yellow flowers 

 in great profusion from June until Fall. The colors range from purest 

 white to a rich yellow. Anthemis tindoria Kelwayi is the best one for
