 position, if possible, give it the shade protection of 

 larger plants. Of all the bloom of this period there 

 is nothing more strikingly beautiful than the Lupin. 

 In some gardens it makes a fair bloom a year from 

 the time sown. But sometimes it is not fully grown

 Where tall, white bloom is needed, this plant for 

 variety is effective in groups of six or eight plants

 or division in spring. 



Maltese Cross. See Lychnis Chalcedonica. 



Marguerite, Yellow. See Anthemis. 



Matricaria. See Feverfew. 



Meadow-Sage. See Salvia pratensis.
