Yellow EscHSCHOLTZiA : California Poppy. Hardy annual. July-Oct. 

 This pretty border flower requires light soil and sun 

 and is at its best in a sea climate. It is essentially a 

 sun plant. While it thrives near the sea, it sometimes 

 "damps off" in long continued rains, even inland.

 plena. Hardy perennial, but treat as hardy annual. 

 Use double white variety only. Sow in August and 

 September, for June bloom. Again in May for Aug- 

 ust flowering. May also be propagated by cuttings 

 and division. See same in perennial list. 



Blue * Forget-me-not: Myosotis alpestris. Var. Vic- May-June 

 toria, one of the best of these biennials, will survive ™" 

 cold winter with sufficient protection. Sow in August 

 in frame. 



White * EtrcHSiA: Lady's-Eardrop. Tender annual. In a June-Oct. 

 and pink dry, hot climate this plant succeeds only in partial 

 bined shade, with ample watering and light, rich soil. When- 

 ever possible, use standard Fuchsia as a background 

 to the lower ones. Choose the pink-and-white com- 

 binations. Buds may be picked off at certain times
