20 A LITTLE GARDEN THE YEAR ROUND 



Iceland Poppy, Oriental Poppy, Primrose, 

 Pyrethrum, Schizanthus and the Verbena. 

 This, of course, does not mean that these 

 species will thrive in locations on which some 

 direct smilight does not fall for some part of 

 the day. 



HEIGHT OF FLOWEKING PI^NTS 



Another thing to consider in planning the 

 garden is the height which the flowering plant 

 is, under normal conditions, likely to attain. 

 Plants, for instance, which are comparatively 

 low-growing are Adonis, Bellis, Candytuft, 

 Pansy, Portulaca, Silene and Verbena. Those 

 of a little taller growth are Sweet Alyssum, 

 Forget-me-not, Marigold, Mignonette, Poppy, 

 and Primrose. Among the plants which com- 

 monly attain a height of twelve inches are 

 Ageratum, Alyssum Saxatile, Cahfornia 

 Poppy. Still taller in growth are the Aster, 

 Bachelors' Button, Carnation, Chrysanthe- 

 mum, Gaillardia, Globe Amaranth, Annual 

 Larkspur, Dianthus, Iceland Poppy, Pyre- 

 thrum, Petunia, Lupine, Love-in-a-Mist, 

 Godetia, Gypsophila, Calliopsis, Calendula, 

 Salpiglossis, Salvia, Scabiosa, Schizanthus,
