ANNUALS AND BIENNIALS

A bed of blue Bachelor's Buttons can be nicely edged with Sweet 

 Alyssum or Candytuft, both of the latter being white. The Bachelor's But- 

 tons will furnish a constant supply of cut flowers. 



Snapdragon, of which a delicate pink variety, perhaps, is chosen, will 

 be excellent combined with Dusty Miller. 



Another bed will be showy, composed of California Poppies planted in 

 front of the taller pot Marigolds. This will be in tones of orange-yellow. 



Entire beds, perhaps five by ten feet, of Verbenas, planted 12 inches 

 apart each way, will prove very effective.

Foxgloves are hardy biennials ; they seed and reproduce themselves freely 



Grow a fine lot of young Drummondi Phlox plants, a white variety, 

 and after filling a bed with them placed eight inches apart, plant bulbs of 

 the pink variety America Gladiolus between the plants. 



Into your bed of Pansies transplant a few of the dainty blue Browalh'a 

 demissa; this will cast a very light and airy effect over the whole bed. 



On some narrow strip, where there is little room, try Godetia Rosa- 

 mond with its satiny pink flowers by itself. You will be rewarded by a 

 very pretty display. 



A huge bed of Nicotiana sylvestris, the ornamental Tobacco, near a 

 porch where you can get the great fragrance in the evening, is very satis- 

 factory. The Nicotiana self sows and it will be necessary to keep these in 

 check.
