14. Joe-Pye-weed. This we waited to acquire until its blos- 



soming time, as there is a great choice in the coloring of 

 the different specimens. We secured a couple of roots 

 having blossoms of a particularly deep, rich hue, digging 

 them up and setting them carefully and cutting down the 

 stalks severely. Next season it sprouted and grew 

 luxuriantly, as seen in the three-year-old specimens. 



15. Black-eyed Susan — one of the most beautiful fall inhabi- 



tants of the bed. By cutting off the old blossoms, a long 

 blooming season is secured. 



16. Golden-rod. Fine varieties of this, also, should be searched 



for, as there is great choice. 



17. Maidenhair Fern — a beautiful clump, at least fifteen years 



old. Shabby and over-shadowed by the Cinnamon, at 

 time photographed; but supplying beautiful, tender 

 growth through a long season, if the seeding fronds are 

 freely picked. 



18. Clumps of Ostrich Fern, cut back when shabby in early fall. 



19. Various sorts of lower-growing Ferns. 



20. Different varieties of Michaelmas Daisies, originally se- 



lected when in bloom — most beautiful for the fall show. 



21. Straying branches of Heliopsis(?) — our most valued late- 



flowering perennial.
