 bury bells transplanted for blooming next 

 summer, saying that he had counted them 

 that morning, that there were nine hundred 

 plants in the bed, and that it could be seen 

 at a glance that there were ten times as many 

 asters then blooming in the gardens. 



For those who care for yellow and orange 

 flowers, a border of splendid color may be 

 made by planting the hardy perennial sun- 

 flowers, both single and double, helenium or 

 sneeze weed, gaillardia, coreopsis and calli- 

 opsis, the marigolds and calendulas both 

 orange and yellow, the different varieties of 

 yellow day lilies, the tritomas, the trolhus or 

 globe flower, the California poppies, and the 

 faithful nasturtiums. A beautiful combina- 

 tion with the yellow and orange is made by 

 adding purple and magenta flowers, such as 

 the tall liatrus or Kansas gay feather, magenta 

 dahlias, the Verbena venosa, the giant ruffled 

 magenta petunias and dark magenta phlox.
