TKEATMENT OF PEEENNIALS 61 



foliage is pretty all the year, and they give a pro- 

 fusion of flowers which last in beauty for a long 

 time, beginning early in June. You can procure 

 seed of either single or double varieties ; both are 

 beautiful flowers, and can be had in white, buff, 

 and every shade of pink and red. The double 

 flowers last rather longer than the single ; they are 

 all very useful as cut flowers. 



Pyrethrums do not move very kindly as full 

 grown plants ; the best time is immediately after 

 flowering, but it is far better to bring them up 

 from seed, and put out the young plants where you 

 want' them ; they grow best in a cool moist soil. 



Pyrethrum uliginosum is quite a distinct plant, 

 growing four to six feet high, in habit like a 

 Michaelmas Daisy, with branching heads of large, 

 white, daisy-like flowers. It is qne of the best and 

 most indispensable of our autumn flowering plants, 

 beautiful. in the garden, or as a cut flower, and 

 shoul/kbe largely grqwn. The flowering season is 

 a long one, beginning in September; the plant 

 grows quickly, and can be increased by division of 

 the roots in autumn. 



Salvia. This is a large class of plants which 

 are hardly as much grown as they deserve to be.
