CONTINUOUS BLOOM IN AMERICA 



MONTH 

 HEIGHT 



not blossom well until second or third year after plant- 

 ing. Improves with age, and when well-developed 

 forms a large bushy plant full of bloom. When there 

 are a sufficient number of strong Gas Plants in the 

 garden fewer Lupins will be needed. The latter are 

 beautiful, but the plants are comparatively short- 

 lived, requiring to be oftener replaced. 



White *Gypsophila. paniculoia: Baby's Breath. Bushy. July 

 Place next to a spreading plant so that after its bloom 

 the space may be partly covered. A line of Ewpa- 

 torium caelestinum encircling it, not too close, conceals 

 well the empty space, when Gypsophila dies down. 



Yellow *HELENitrM: Sneezeweed, var. Riverton Gem. Gold Aug. late 

 tinged with reddish streaks. Var. Riverton Beauty, 

 yellow with dark cone. Use six or seven nursery plants, 

 set close together for one group. Stake early. 



Yellow * Hemerocallis, var. flava: Sweet-scented Lemon May-June 

 Lily. Needs deep, light, rich soil. Spreads rapidly. 

 Six plants to start a group. 



Hesperis matronalis : See Rocket. 



■^^itg Hollyhock: Alihea rosea. Single or double, as July 



I|*d preferred. Needs deep, rich soil and sun. Transplant 

 Piixk 

 Yellow in spring only. Give treatment of Bordeaux Mixture 



early if brown spots appear. Needs heavy winter 



covering where climate is severe. Requires staking. 



Cut stalks down to ground when finished blooming.
