Appendix 



The scope and intention of this book precludes my 

 giving any detailed directions for flower and vege- 

 table culture ; but it will enhance the usefulness of the 

 foregoing chapters on garden planning if I add some 

 information about the plants most commonly grown 

 in small gardens This I have done by means of the 

 series of tables which follows. In these will be found 

 a sufficiently full selection of plants for every ordinary 

 purpose, and such particulars as will be useful to the 

 gardener at the time he is planting his garden. 



Flowers. 

 These may be divided into the following classes : — 

 Annuals, hardy and half-hardy. 

 Hardy Perennials. 

 Bulbs. 

 Roses. 



Flowering Shrubs and Trees. 

 Alpine and Rock Plants. 

 Annuals. — The hardy annuals may be sown in the 

 open border in early spring. 



The half-hardy annuals require to be raised in 

 boxes or pans with slight heat, in early spring, and to 

 be planted out in the open border in May. Many of 

 the latter may also be sown in the open ground in 

 May.
