SNOW-ON-THE-MOUNT 



Euphorbia marginata 



A particularly useful foliage plant for the gar- 

 dener who realizes that the success of a garden does 

 not" depend entirely on the flowers. The leaves are 

 margined with white, some of them being white all 

 over. As a background for some strong red-flowering 

 plant, euphorbia would be very effective. In the illus- 

 tration it is shown as a foil for marigolds in a flower 

 arrangement. 



Start seeds indoors, preferably, to secure a longer 

 season, setting out plants in early May.
