Senecio Clivorum 



' I *HIS handsome Chinese plant does parti- 

 -*■ cularly well in damp ground and is very ef- 

 fective on the edges of streams and ponds. I \ 

 believe, however, that its value as a border 

 plant is not sufficiently appreciated. For the 

 past two or three years I have grown it in an 

 herbaceous border which has a background of 

 evergreens and is shaded most of the morning 

 in this location. Senecio clivorum thrives re- 1 

 markably well, growing five feet in height and : 

 carrying enormous round leaves. In spite of a 

 drought last year of six weeks duration during 

 which no artificial watering w r as given the plants 

 suffered very little. This Senecio is very easily | 

 raised from seed and its rich orange yellow flowers \ 

 are very striking in the hardy border. In the ] 

 same border Lobelia cardinalis, also classed as a | 

 semi-aquatic, grows and thrives finely, carrying ] 

 spikes 4 to 5 feet in height. — W. N. C, Mass. 



White Violets 



CJOME years ago a writer in The Garden 

 ^ Magazine gave an account of the unusual 

 development of four White Violet plants that 

 had been given to her. They had improved 

 in kind and in quantity until her garden (of con- 

 siderable size) was entirely edged with them. 

 Mrs. Ella Bailey, garden lover and beloved of all 

 gardeners who were fortunate enough to know 

 her, wrote to the author of the White Violet story 

 to which "the White Violet Lady" responded 

 and even sent a little box of the plants to Mrs. 

 Bailey. 



Well, these Violets multiplied amazingly in 

 Mrs. Bailey's garden; and one day, telling me 

 how they came to her, she said: "I think I'll 

 give you four plants, as that seems to be the 

 proper number." I took them — and have had 

 the same mysterious success; while not all my 

 garden is edged with these beautiful plants, a 

 good part of it is, and the rest of it might be, 

 only that I am continually giving plants away, 

 wanting to share with others the pleasure I have 

 had with them. I know of no better plant for 

 edging. It remains neat and green throughout 

 the summer. In early July and about the third 

 week in August, I clip the borders back a little 

 so that they do not grow too high. Miss Harriet 

 Keeler tells me it is the Viola striata, native to 

 most of our Northern woods. It responds to 

 cultivation so that the flowers are larger than in 

 its wild state. When few plants are in blossom 

 they are a glory of creamy loveliness; and the 

 period of bloom is at least a month. On the 

 twenty-fourth of last May (when they were at 

 their best) I gave a tea to about forty ladies. 

 The house was filled with these lovely white 

 flowers. That White Violet tea seemed to give so 

 much pleasure that I think I shall make it an 

 annual institution — but not without expressing 

 my thanks to the one who first wrote of this 

 charming flower, and in this best of gar- 

 den magazines. — Nellie D. Merrell, Cleve- 

 land, O.
