CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



COLOR HEIGHT 



Prefers rich soil, not very heavy, may be started 

 under glass, but grows quickly from seed sown in 

 the garden after frost time. 



White *SCHIZANTHUS: Butterfly-Flower. A tender green- June, July 

 house luxury, covered with blossoms for a month. m ' 

 A few may be used in a large garden if they can be 

 later replaced by a long and late bloomer. Use light 

 pink preferably. 



Pinks *SILENE armeria: Catchfly. Hardy annual. Used May, late 

 White j n masses> or as a b an( J (j n two rows) around a mass 



of Bluets, this plant is a valuable addition to the 

 garden when German Iris is in bloom, and later. It 

 is especially attractive when white and the paler of 

 the two pinks predominate. Sow in August in open 

 nursery or cold-frame. In cold climate needs a little 

 more winter protection than do Bluets, but will die 

 under heavy covering of manure. Use salt-hay or 

 straw moderately or slat-frame. Plants may be set 

 4 inches apart. Moisture prolongs bloom. 



White SNAPDRAGON: Antirrhinum. Tall variety. Hardy June-Oct. 

 Reds annua ^ Possibly the choicest of all the garden plants. 



Yellow May be had in full bloom through the longest season 

 if sown in hotbed or greenhouse by March 1, and 

 again, in the open by May 1. When June bloom is 

 desired and if it cannot be started *in spring in heat 

 nor purchased in plants, then sow in August, and 



* American catalogues.
