TyOTH the Old Purple Phlox and the Sun- 

 Jfj flowers have been many times removed 

 from this border, but a season of relaxed vigilance 

 sees them again in possession as shown in the 

 present illustration. 



Growing with them is the pale and lovely 

 Phlox Madam Paul Dutrie, Rue, and, in the 

 foreground, the shrubby Clematis Davidiana. 

 A little later the filmy inflorescence of white 

 Boltonias and the purple plumes of Ironweed 

 will be added to the group, carrying it along until 

 mid-autumn. 



In the spring, after the Daffodils have passed, 

 this border edge is buried beneath a fluttering 

 cloud of azure Flax and gay Spanish Poppies 

 (Papaver rupifragum) through which gleam here 

 and there pure-white Columbines. 



In June Iris Albert Victor and white Fox- 

 gloves create the picture, and in July the flowers 

 seen in this portion of the border are the tall 

 yellow Evening Primrose Afterglow and blue 

 Spiked Veronica.
