WHAT TO PLANT MONTH 



COLOR HEIGHT 



growing close to a south wall, and occasionally lifted 

 for renourishment of the soil, will generally live for 

 years, at least in New Jersey and southward. To 

 make a good clump, set three small plants (shoots) 

 8 inches apart. When a foot high, pinch back to in- 

 duce branching. Tobacco dust is the best treatment 

 when black aphids attack them. Prop, by division or 

 cuttings. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM coccineum. See Pyrethrum, hybrid. 



* CHRYSANTHEMUM uliginosum. See Pyrethrum uli- 

 ginosum. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM max. See Shasta Daisy. 



White COLUMBINE: Aquilegia. Use the taller varieties. May-June 

 Blue Prefers light rich, deep, well-drained soil, and thrives 2 ~ 3 ft - 



Yellow 



Pink in sun or partial shade. When allowed to self-sow, 

 the seedlings are abundant. Keep plenty of the 

 strongest of these young plants in best colors for nurs- 

 ery stock, as Columbine is not long-lived. Some gar- 

 deners prefer to use more Lupins and hybrid Pyre- 

 thrum than Columbine, because the latter is less ef- 

 fective in the garden color scheme. Prevent large 

 annuals from smothering the Columbine. Don't plant 

 it in garden-bed until two years old. "To have the 

 most vigorous and beautiful plants the two varieties 

 mixed Longspurs and var. vulgaris should grow near 

 together: then select the strongest of the seedlings
