COLOR ARRANGEMENTS OF FLOWERS 



Larkspurs, monkshood in early and late 

 varieties, including the light blue variety, 

 Aconitum Wilsoni, Veronica grandiflora, platy- 

 codon, the campanulas, varieties Persicifolia, 

 Glomerata and Pyramidalis, and the lupins, 

 are six perennials which would alone keep a 

 blue border pronounced in color for three 

 months; but when you add columbines, eupa- 

 torium, Anchusa Italica, Baptisia Australis, 

 Scabiosa Caucasica, blue salvia, Salvia azurea 

 and Centaurea Cyanus, the wonderful new blue 

 gladioli, large-flowering ageratum and lobelia, 

 which are always in bloom, and the faithful 

 asters which, however, have a violet tinge, the 

 blue border becomes a source of great interest. 



A few white flowers, such as white platy- 

 codon, the feathery Bocconia cordaia, Lilium 

 album, L. candidum, and achillea, rather add 

 to the beauty of the blue border and seem to 

 make its color more lovely. 



In the red border are red hollyhocks, 

 scarlet lychnis. Phlox Coquelicot, Tritoma
