GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
his bleeding hearts——and the golden-spurred va- 
riety will bloom from early May to early August! 
Above all, instead of boltonia, I would use the ador- 
able snapdragons, which, although considered a 
‘‘tender perennial,’’ will survive cold weather if 
well protected. 
But then, as I once heard, ‘‘A man’s garden is 
like his wife, whom he never would think of com- 
paring with anybody else’s.’’ So you don’t have 
to follow any one’s choice. Just make a list of the 
flowers that you like, find out when they bloom, and 
then choose as few or as many as you have room 
for, remembering to plan for something lovely 
every month of the blooming season. 
One note of warning, however. After you have 
made your list, consult some friend that is a suc- 
cessful gardener, and make sure that what you 
have chosen will thrive in your particular local- 
ity. If you find it does not, strike it off, and put 
in something that will.
