 PLANTS FOR AMERICAN FLAG. 



I am called upon to make a land- 

 scape design of the American flag in 

 flowers. As I have not done that kind 

 of work as yet, I should like to have 

 your advice as to how to make it and 

 what kind of plants to use. I am 

 located in the western part of West 

 Virginia. A. S. 



In order to secure the red, white and 

 blue colors, use scarlet alternantheras, 

 such as A. brilliantissima or A. major, 

 for red. For blue. Lobelia Emperor 

 William would be fine, but would be a 

 failure in your locality. The next best 

 plant to use is the ageratum, and this 

 you can depend upon; Stella Gurney 

 and Princess Pauline are good dwarf 

 varieties. Santolinas are good to use 

 for white, but need rather more trim- 

 ming to keep them in shape. As a 

 dwarf silvery white plant, Echeveria 

 secunda glauca would do well with you, 

 and, being of compact growth, could 

 be effectively used as dividing lines. 

 The flag would show to best advantage 

 on a sloping piece of ground. C. W. 



Cherryvale, Kan. — Mrs. Clara B. Grew, 

 proprietor of the Cherryvale Green- 

 houses, finds that My Maryland is one of 

 the cleanest and most satisfactory roses 

 to grow. She has sent to The Review 

 a photograph of a Maryland that has 

 a 32-inch stem and a 5-inch flower, and 

 she believes that, as a beginner, she has 

 no reason to be ashamed of the results 

 she has attained.
