ANNUALS TO BE SAVED. 91 



You may, at this time, sow some of the half- 

 hardy annuals in the open borders : they will 

 flower late in the autumn, if the season be at all 

 favourable! The best and most showy of these 

 are Indian pinks, Marvel of Peru, French and 

 African marygolds, Chrysanthemum tricolor, 

 and Persicaria. Remember, however, that the 

 Persicaria is a very tall plant. Put in also every 

 month till July, where you have room, a few 

 seeds of common annuals, and they will flower 

 even as late as November. 



I think that, what with weeding, raking, ty- 

 ing up flower stems, planting out what I have 

 sent, and keeping them watered till the first 

 shower, you will have more than enough to do, 

 till I write again. 



Yours very sincerely, 

 G.
