tulips in another; Narcissus odorata (double white) 

 and pink tulips in another; with more flaming red 

 tulips and narcissus Emperor in a fourth. 



While these are still in bloom, the annuals are 

 put in between the rows — trailing nasturtiums in 

 one bed, pansies in another, ten weeks stock and 

 asters in the other two. Each year I vary them 

 and have at least one new kind. Sometimes it 

 is the single tuberou'S begonias, or verbena 

 — fact, anything that has a slender root will do 

 well. 



The tender plants are shaded by the 

 leaves of the tulips. Before these have died down 

 (for you must not cut the leaves, as it de- 

 stroys vitality of the bulbs), the pansies and 

 nasturtiums are in bloom and the others are 

 not far behind. Verbenas and pansies and 

 stock will bloom on and on till the snow covers 

 them.

A Shrub for Seashore Planting 



THE sea buckthorn {Hippophae rhamnoides), 

 which is native to the coast regions of South- 

 ern Europe and of Asia, is normally a shrub eight 

 to ten feet high, though occasionally it becomes a 

 small tree attaining a height of twenty to twenty- 

 five feet. In habit it is frequently somewhat 

 straggling and is seldom really symnietrical. The 

 branches are numerous, irregular, and somewhat 

 spinose. The foliage is willow-like and silvery 

 gray in color. The yellowish flowers appear in 

 May after the leaves have unfolded and are borne 

 in clusters of two or three. These are followed 

 by a profusion of berry-like fruit which is about 

 the size of a pea. 



The fruit reaches maturity in late September 

 or early October, and retains its showy orange color 



The sea bucktliom is a beautiful fall shrub hav- 

 ing silvery-gray foliage and orange berries vrhich 

 reach maturity in September and October. 



until midwinter and sometimes until early spring. 

 As the plant is dioecious, it is essential to have 

 specimens of both sexes. 



This shrub is particularly well adapted to sea- 

 side planting, where it thrives in barren sandy soil 

 and in exposed situations, yet it does just as well 

 in inland gardens and shrubberies. Its adaptability 

 to seashore planting and the great ornamental 

 value of its fruit make it a specially desirable plant. 

 Perhaps no shrub is a more striking object than is 

 the sea buckthorn when laden with a wealth of 

 orange berries.
