March to August, and is excellent for screening 

 unsightly but necessary garden adjuncts. 



Not especially beautiful but rather odd is the 

 castor bean, with its large, handsome leaves. One 

 or two plants of the castor bean often fill in a 

 narrow corner. The seeds may be sown this 

 month. 



About the most universally grown of all the 

 plants in California is the geranium or pelargonium. 

 Geraniums are to be had in three distinct types. 

 Lady Washington is the show type; some of the 

 best varieties arranged according to color are 

 given herewith. 



Carmine: Adelia Brandt, Princess Maud, Presi- 

 dent Taft. White: Bride of Lammermoor, Mrs. 

 Robert Sandiford, Zella de Lusson, Champion. 

 Pink: Countess, Franciscana, Countess of Crew, 

 Lady Primrose, Maud Hooper, Rose Queen. 

 Crimson: Crimson King, Lord Dumpose, Radi- 

 ance, Captain Raikes, Victor, Dr. Masters, Duke 

 of Albany. 



The ivy-leaved geraniums are especially desir- 

 able for climbing. They cling almost as vigorously 

 as some of the vines and are covered from top to 

 bottom with continuous bloom. The following 

 varieties are recommended: 



Red: Guy Lewis, Sabrina. White: Joan d'Arc. 

 Pink: Mad. Thibaut, Ryecroft Surprise, Charles 

 Turner. 



The smaller growing geraniums are grouped into 

 a class known as zonal. These grow three to six 

 feet tall, and may be used separately or with other 

 flowers in the making of beds. They are also 

 very desirable for cutting. They are especially 

 pleasing when planted against a background of 

 dusty miller (Centaicrea candidissima). The fol- 

 lowing are good varieties: 



Red: General Grant, John Forbes, La Pilot, 

 S. A. Nutt. Pink: Jean Viaud, Madame Landry, 

 Cerise: Gertrude Pearson, Mrs. Gladstone. White: 

 Mrs. Gaer, The Swan. 



Place the young plants in the greenhouse in the 

 shade and keep them well watered. When they 

 have developed four leaves, transplant into flats 

 giving them more room, about two inches each way. 



Select the most pleasing of the tuberous rooted 

 begonias and propagate from these, using a 

 small pot for each cutting, filling it to the brim 

 with leafmold. Make a hole in the center, in- 

 sert the slip and then fill the hole with silver sand. 

 Wet the soil and put the pots close together in a 

 place where they will receive bottom heat. This 

 begonia requires a temperature of about 80 de- 

 grees to develop to its best.

A Busy Month in the South 



A LATE crop of annuals, such as marigold, 

 nasturtium, cosmos, aster, and poppy, may 

 be sown now. They will require plenty of moisture 

 in the soil. 



Another planting of gladiolus must be made 

 during the month, for flowers during August. 

 Plenty of moisture is also their most important 

 requirement at this time of the year. Gladiolus 

 bulbs are very cheap in comparison with the beauti- 

 ful floral display they make. Cut the flower spikes 

 when the first buds open; the other buds will open 

 in water in the house and the spikes will last longer. 

 Remember to get large sized bulbs. 



It is not yet too late to plant chrysanthemums, 

 pot grown rose plants, cannas, dahlias; but they 

 should be put into the ground as soon as possible. 

 The dahlias that were planted early in the spring 

 may need staking now. Use soft cloth strips for 

 tying them so as not to bruise the stalk. 



Sow geranium seed any time during the month 

 in a half shady place. Keep it well moistened 

 and it is best to put a shading cover, such as a piece 

 of glass, over it. To grow plants from seed is much 

 more trouble than to propagate from cuttings, but 

 there is always the possibility of getting something 

 new and of real value. 



Carnation plants can be set out, and seed of the 

 Marguerite type sown for flowers in the fall. Give 

 them a rich soil and plenty of moisture for big 

 flowers. 



Sow cucumbers and beans and set out cauliflower 

 plants to use for pickling.
