CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA MQNTH 



HEIGHT 



not blossom well until second or third year after plant- 

 ing. Improves with age, and when well-developed 

 forms a large bushy plant full of bloom. When there 

 are a sufficient number of strong Gas Plants in the 

 garden fewer Lupins will be needed. The latter are 

 beautiful, but the plants are comparatively short- 

 lived, requiring to be oftener replaced. 



White *GYPSOPHILA paniculata: Baby's Breath. Bushy. July 

 Place next to a spreading plant so that after its bloom 2 

 the space may be partly covered. A line of Eupa- 

 torium ccelestinum encircling it, not too close, conceals 

 well the empty space, when Gypsophila dies down. 



Yellow * HELENIUM: Sneezeweed, var. Riverton Gem. Gold Aug. late 

 tinged with reddish streaks. Var. Riverton Beauty, C 

 yellow with dark cone. Use six or seven nursery plants, 

 set close together for one group. Stake early. 



Yellow * HEMEROCALLIS, var. flava: Sweet-scented Lemon May-June 

 Lily. Needs deep, light, rich soil. Spreads rapidly. 3 

 Six plants to start a group. 



HESPERIS matronalis: See Rocket. 



\Vhite HOLLYHOCK: Althea rosea. Single or double, as July 

 Red preferred. Needs deep, rich soil and sun. Transplant 5 ~ 7 

 Yellow in spring only. Give treatment of Bordeaux Mixture 

 early if brown spots appear. Needs heavy winter 

 covering where climate is severe. Requires staking. 

 Cut stalks down to ground when finished blooming.
