THE GARDEN AT HOME 



are long-stemmed, for only these show really well when 

 cut and placed in bowls and vases such, for instance, 

 as Pharisaer, salmon rose ; Betty, rose and old gold ; 

 Dorothy Page Roberts, pink ; Madame Hoste, cream ; 

 Mme. Antoine Mari, lilac rose and white ; Madame Abel 

 Chatenay, salmon ; Lady Ashtown, rose-pink ; Madame 

 Melanie Soupert, peach shades ; Molly Sharman Crawford, 

 white ; Mme. Leon Pain, white, with orange-yellow centre ; 

 Mrs. E. G. Hill, pink and red ; Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, 

 flesh-pink ; Avoca, scarlet crimson ; Conrad F. Meyer, 

 pink ; and Mme. Alfred Carriere, white. 



As summer wanes such as these are available : Japanese 

 Anemones, Golden Rods, Starworts or Michaelmas Daisies, 

 Pentstemons, especially the variety Newbury Gem, Moon 

 Daisy (Pyrethrum uliginosum), perennial Sunflowers e.g. 

 Miss Mellish and H. G. Moon the Coneflower (Rud- 

 beckia), especially the double yellow variety Golden Glow, 

 Montbretias, Tiger Lilies, and Japanese Lilies, to say 

 nothing of September Roses. I have not mentioned 

 Stocks and Asters, Snapdragons, outdoor Chrysanthe- 

 mums, Gladioli, Pinks, Sea Lavender or Statice, or 

 Lavender, yet all rank high as flowers to grow for cutting. 



Then, among annuals, are there not Love-in-a-Mist 

 and Candytuft, Nemesia and Mignonette, and of shrubby 

 plants, the exquisite trails of Polygonum baldschuanicum, 

 a most rampant and easily grown twiner, the flower 

 bunches of Clematis Flammula in August and in autumn 

 the silky fluffiness of Traveller's Joy ?
