NOTES PERTAINING TO THE CHARTS 



The bed of perennials in Chart XI, on preceding page, is for the 

 purpose of showing the possibilities in such a planting. However, 

 besides the Petunias, this bed has need of such annuals as Cam- 

 panula medium, Larkspur, Feverfew, and dwarf Zinnia, filling all 

 vacant spaces. 



Charts VIII and IX could hold three Feverfew, fall-sown, also 

 June-sown. 



Chart IX could contain one Anchusa plant in the centre. 



Bear in mind the great value of Larkspur, Feverfew, or Anthemis 

 well distributed over most of the beds. 



In the large beds especially there may be need of an increase in 

 the number of annuals called for, in order that any vacant spaces 

 may be filled. 



Cut back Delphiniums, Phloxes, and Shasta Daisy to bring 

 later bloom and prevent the annuals from going to seed for the 

 same reason. 



For an effective summer planting of annuals in a wall bed sim- 

 ilar to the one in Chart II have, instead of scallops, a line of blue 

 Ageratum at the edge. Behind, a line of white and pink compact 

 Petunia. Further back, three closely set lines of garnet and pink 

 Globe Amaranth. At the rear some early Cosmos. Mingled with 

 these annuals may be planted lines or groups of various periods of 

 perennials. 



Another attractive finish to the front of a bed is made by a line 

 of annual Dianthus at the edge, with two close-set rows of white 

 and pink Vinca behind. 



In the chart lists where the number of plants required is not 

 indicated the gardener may provide enough to fill the spaces.
