WHERE TO PLANT 



mum, Heliotrope, etc., are easily moved at any time 

 in June or July. 



Beds of these proportions as well as smaller beds 

 are also often filled with the lower annuals of one or 

 two varieties, i. e., first Pansies mixed with English 

 Daisies, and later a mass of some long blooming va- 

 riety, such as Petunia, or else blue Ageratum edged 

 with white Ageratum, or pink fibrous Begonia bor- 

 dered with Sweet Alyssum. 



To make a close connection between the Pansy, 

 and, for instance. Petunia bloom, the following sug- 

 gestion is offered. Pansies may have been planted 

 out about May 10 or earlier. Petunias were started 

 under glass April 1. When Pansies shall have bloomed 

 about six weeks, their best days are over in warm 

 climates, so remove every other Pansy plant, replacing 

 them with Petunias, which as yet are not old enough 

 to be effective, but there is still some Pansy bloom 

 left. 



When the Petunias begin to branch and bloom, the 

 remaining Pansies are ready for removal, and all the 

 spaces are soon covered with the tireless Petunia. 

 Because Ageratum and Verbena are likewise sprawling 

 plants, they can be used instead of Petunia, if pre- 

 ferred. 



It would be possible also to sow in May the seeds 

 of Petunias or dwarf Calliopsis or Calendula, or other 

 quickly germinating seeds around the Pansies, trim-
