and who grows in compacft, trim little tufts that are sweet 

 with French and Irish anemones, and we may have Farquhar's 

 Pillar, ^urdy and ^rong in its diminutive strength, for the 

 anemones to re^t their beauteous blooms upon, and Syl- 

 vatica, so spready and fine to frame and edge our Darwin 

 tulips, and Royal Blue, the deeped blue of any of the family 

 as well as the tallest member, sometimes reaching the great 

 height of fourteen inches! 



^ Now we have two lovely varieties for growing in pots for 

 the window garden in Winter and for edging the '* benches " 

 in our greenhouses, Dissitiflora and Star Of Love. Both are 

 so charming. As Dissitiflora is seven inches tall and Star Of 

 Love but five, the latter should have and I think is entitled 

 to, the extreme edge of the bench borders. All these varieties 

 will bloom the fir^ Summer from early Spring sown seeds. 

 Naturally the very early flowering ones should be sown before 

 those that bloom later; such as Alpestris Victoria blue, 

 pink and white should be Parted early in April, so should 

 Sylvatica. Remember, Amateur Gardeners, that these forget- 

 me-nots are all hardy and when their season of flowering has 

 passed, the little tufts of roots may be transplanted anywhere 

 in the garden or shrubbery. These appealing little flowers 

 will give you great pleasure and immensely practical reward 

 when grown in good garden soil. 



^ Please " don't forget to remember " that the Palustrus 

 Semperflorens which blooms for six months, needs more 

 moisture than all the others when grown as a carpet 

 or border. Therefore in a dry season or droughty see that 

 they are given an abundance of water. 



I might also suggest that it will save you a considerable 

 amount of time and annoyance when looking up forget-me-not 

 in the catalogues to fir^ look for Myosotis!
