flowering ends with the Spring. 



Then there are the spicy Scotch pinks, the 

 Cheddar Pinks, Maiden Pinks and Glacier 

 Pinks, such dear Httle plants, but unfortu- 

 nately they don't bloom in the Summer. The 

 Bellis Daisy we all know very well. It is in- 

 dispensable when cuddled with hardy blue 

 Forget-me-nots and golden California pop- 

 pies, and when its season is passed the won- 

 drous Viola Atropurpurea may take its place. 



This velvety purple Viola will bloom until 

 snow flies. The dwarf hardy Delphiniums, 

 blue and white Chinensis, must in their turn 

 be bordered, as they are too tall even as 

 dwarfs for the very edge, but if you plant 

 Linum Flavum with its feathery gold flowers 

 in front of Chinensis and blue and white Car- 

 pathian Harebells as a border to Linum 

 Flavum, you will have an exquisite hardy 

 border. Even the Harebells could be bor- 

 dered with perennial Forget-me-nots (Palus- 

 tris Semperfforens), or Farquhar's Pillar
