CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



Anthemis tinctoria, creamy. 

 Feverfew, double white. 

 Forget-me-not, var. palustris semperflo- 

 rens (sow August 1). 



These hardiest annuals, except Forget-me-nots, may be 

 sown also in spring in the open to bloom later in the season 

 August, and Poppies bloom earlier. 



Second-Class Hardy Annuals 



August-sown. Pansies.* 



English Daisies. 



Snapdragon. 



Dianthus, Pinks. 



Forget-me-not, var. alpestris hybrid. 



These also may be sown in the open in spring to bloom 

 later the same year, excepting Forget-me-not and English 

 Daisy. 



Of course, the early bloom may be had from most 

 of these plants by sowing them in February in hot- 

 bed or greenhouse; but why take up so much valu- 

 able greenhouse or hotbed space, unless for Snap- 

 dragon, if it is possible to start them in the open 

 nursery the preceding year, to bring bloom in May 

 and June? 



Third-Class Hardy Annuals 



Spring-Sown. Sweet Alyssum and Candytuft, the 

 earliest to germinate, Eschscholtzia, Calliopsis, Calen- 



* For bloom beginning in April, sow Pansies early in August; for mid- 

 May bloom, sow August 30.
