CHAPTER III 

 WHERE TO PLANT 



THE ALTERNATION OF SEVERAL PERIODS OF BLOOM 

 PLANTED IN LINES IS THE MAIN POINT IN THE SECRET 

 OF WELL BALANCED, CONTINUOUS BLOOM. 



In order to economize room, and to systematize the 

 scheme to an orderly plan for giving the various bloom- 

 ing periods equal representation throughout the space 

 of one bed, plant in lines, and alternate in the lines the 

 plants of several different periods: for instance, in one 

 line alternate several times the plants of May and 

 June, Ojr else of May, June, and July, i. e., Lupins, 

 Campanula medium, Foxglove, repeated two, three, 

 or more times. 



Other plants of the same periods may appear in 

 alternation in another line, while still other lines will 

 show the alternate setting of other blooming periods 

 either with annuals, with perennials, or with both. 



At each period have more than one line in flower 

 at a time (not every plant in the line), and always 

 with care that the front bloomers do not conceal those 

 behind.
