CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



In this scheme for continuous bloom, the sowing 

 dates given provide that late June shall be the week 

 when many of the spring-sown annuals shall com- 

 mence to furnish a fair bloom. Lupin, Lavatera, 

 English Daisy, SUene, Poppy, Candytuft, Asters, Bal- 

 sam, Salpiglossis, and Cleome are the only annuals 

 named in this chapter that do not blossom for sev- 

 eral months in congenial climate. 



In the author's garden the mid-Jime sowing of at 

 least some of the annuals — Zinnia, Larkspur, Aster, 

 and feathered Celosia— is unsatisfactory, as the plants 

 not having made a certain start before June 15 are 

 more or less stunted for the rest of the season. This 

 may not be the case in a cool and moist climate.
