Owning a garden is in 
having flowers enough 
to give one’s friends, 
as well as for house 
and table decoration. 
The beauty, variety

useful as cut flowers.

valuable for adding

collection will enable 
you to have some 
flowers in bloom all 
Summer through.

in the early Spring or 
Fall, allowing from one

Square feet of space 
for each (depending 
upon the size and 
character of the plant), 
unless otherwise noted. 
They will do well in 
any soil that will grow 
garden. vegetables. 
Keep down the weeds, 
and if you find any 
plants inclined to 
sprawl, put in a stake 
for support. After the 
first severe frost in the 
Fall, cut down the tops 
to within three inches 
of the ground, and give 
the bed a good coat of 
half rotted manure 
(this will both protect 
the plants and enrich 
the ground); dig this 
under in the Spring, be- 
fore new growth starts.
