TWENTY-FIVE BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS 221 



Shasta Daisy (Leucanthemum and Chrysanthemum maximum). 

 The florist can always sell Daisy-shaped flowers, particularly 

 when they consist of a good strain of Shasta Daisy "Alaska." Plants 

 of this sort flower freely all Summer and can be gently forced under 

 glass. (See page 520.) 



Sweet William {Dianthus barbatus). Every so-caUed "old- 

 fashioned flower border" should have a few plants of Sweet William. 

 You will always have call for them during the Spring season as weU 

 as in Fall and frequently can make good use of the flowers in a cut 

 state. (See page 351.)

PLANTS FOR ROCKERIES AND ROCK GARDENS 



EXCEEDINGLY pleasing effects can be created with the rockery 

 '-' or rock garden and this is particularly so on the small home 

 grounds. One needn't have great sweeps of lawn space or acres of land 

 in order to make such a planting or type of gardening permissible. 

 In fact, if you carry out the idea in not too large proportions, you 

 may, with the help of a rock garden, add greatly to the apparent 

 extent of the grounds, making them appear much larger than they 

 really are. Grounds with a flat surfaced lawn and the usual border 

 planting of shrubs are not nearly as attractive as those in which 

 along the outskirts of the lawn, we find elevations created by raised 

 borders or rock garden plantings. A few elevations and gentle 

 depressions always help to make a landscape more picturesque.
