CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



July 20 

 Phlox. Rudbeckia purpurea. 



Veronica, long subsess. Gypsophila paniculata. 



Dahlia, cactus, etc. Echinops sphseroceph. 



Eryngium amethystinum. Cannas, pink and white. 



Statice latifoKa. All the annuals. 



Seventh Period 

 Late August has a variety of perennials that are 

 especially free-flowering, giving unusual color to this 

 period. 



August 25 



Asters, hardy. Helenium, Riverton Gem. 



Pyrethrum uliginosum. Helenium, Riverton Beauty. 



Sedum spectabile. Anemone Japonica. 



Salvia azurea and S. Pitcheri. Eupatorium ccelestinum. 



Eighth Period 

 September 15 



Monkshood Wilsoni. Chrysanthemum (Sept. var.). 

 Gladioh, planted July. Long-blooming annuals continued. 



In October the Chrysanthemums are the only worth- 

 while perennials. The indefatigable annuals, such 

 as Zinnias, Petunias, Marigolds, Verbenas, Ageratum, 

 etc., are wearing a rusty appearance, making one feel 

 that after all frost is not an unwelcome visitor this 

 month. His blight saves us from brooding too long 

 over a tired garden, when it is more important to be 

 at work cleaning up and preparing for another year.
