WHERE TO SOW 



the clump, i.e., Phlox, hardy Asters, etc. With most 

 plants of the rapid root-spreading nature, it will take 

 one year for a small plant to triple its size. 



The only perennials named in this book, not belong- 

 ing to this quick-spreading variety, are Lupin, Sweet 

 William, Dictamnus, Columbine, Sedum, Delphinium, 

 Platycodon, Foxglove, Hollyhock, Pyrethrum hybrid, 

 Anchusa, Statice, Salvia azurea, Poppy, (Enothera, 

 Gaillardia. All the rest named are fast root-spreaders, 

 which, once well started, will need to be divided every 

 two or three years (Peonies every five years). 



WHERE TO SOW ANNUALS 



When considering where to sow his annuals, the 

 gardener should remember that part of the scheme 

 for continuous bloom necessarily depends also on 

 when they are to be sown. 



THE NURSERY 



A nursery of some kind, for certain annuals at least, 

 is indispensable to a garden of continuous bloom; pref- 

 erably in frames where they are more easily handled. 

 But when frames are not available, then a bit of open 

 ground somewhere for an open seed-bed and nursery 

 should be included in the gardener's calculations. 



A nursery for the August-September sown hardy an- 

 nuals is a necessity. A frame is required for wintering 

 some of them in a cold climate. See "When to Sow."
