COLOUR IN MY GARDEN 



these, the cure-all of our Grandmothers' days, Inula Helen- 

 ium or Elecampane is handsome, with its gray-green 

 leaves and tall stems of great yellow flowers. The Giant 

 Groundsel of China, Senecio clivorum, is a striking subject 

 for damp situations or in partial shade where the sun will 

 not scorch its enormous leathery leaves. Bupthalmium 

 cordatum, with large heart-shaped leaves and handsome 

 orange-coloured flowers four or five inches across, might 

 also have a place where broad planting is practised.
