CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



stead of the later and weaker bloom of the older 

 plants. The latter can be discarded for new ones; 

 nothing transplants so easily. In the scheme for con- 

 tinuous bloom, Feverfew, Larkspur, Canterbury Bells, 

 and Zinnia are invaluable. The latter only has a long 

 and uninterrupted bloom, but the others are useful in 

 supplying bloom at times when otherwise the garden 

 coloring may be weak. 



The author's final message for 'perfecting the plant- 

 ing in a bed of continuous bloom is to use sufficient 

 plants to prevent any vacant spaces being visible after 

 the plants have reached maturity. Plant should touch 

 plant, and there will inevitably be fewer weeds, and 

 the massing would become more harmonious and ef- 

 fective.
