Garden Plan 



'•I MIGNONETTE [hA-12 in.] Its delicious scent has given great popularity to this modest plant 

 which the French have named "Little Darling." The vigorous branches clothed in dark 

 green leaves are quite spreading, and they bear cone-shaped spikes of unassuming blossoms 

 useful in combination with showier cut flowers that lack fragrance. The plants do well in full 

 sun, but they also thrive in partial shade.

MIMOSA (Sensitive Plant) [hA-12 in.] Leaves that droop and fold at the slightest touch make 



this plant an interesting addition either to the outdoor summer garden or to the inside window 



garden in winter. The phenomenon also takes place naturally each night and in damp 



weather. The plant bears small rosy-lilac blossoms which are as dainty as the fern-like foliage.

l> MOMORDICA [hA-C-lOft.] Festooned over a trellis, the lacy foliage of this climber furnishes 

 an excellent background for the yellow flowers which are followed by peculiar dangling fruits. 

 These are irregularly furrowed, warty, and green when young. As they mature, they turn 

 brilliant yellow and when ripe burst open to disclose the pulp spotted with blood red seeds. 



Balsam Apple (Balsamina) Vine somewhat smaller than that of Balsam Pear; fruits nearly 

 spherical. 



Balsam Pear (Charantia) Bears cylindrical elongated fruits. In the young state these are 

 sometimes boiled and eaten.

MORNING GLORY (Convolvulus Major) (See also Ipomoea) [hA-C-10 ft.] Picture your 

 garden fence covered with the dewy foliage and blossoms of a superior Morning Glory in the 

 early summer mornings. The heart-shaped leaves are of flne green color, and the multitudes 

 of trumpet-shaped flowers come in beautiful clear colors. They close about noon but open 

 the next morning in all their splendor.

I MYOSOTIS (Forget-me-not) [hhP-R-8 in.] While this charming spring flower will grow in the 

 open border, there is some partially shaded damp spot in almost every garden where it will 

 flourish and be a joy. The Alpine variety which we offer is of rather spreading habit with 

 velvety leaves, above which rise the pretty floral clusters of dainty five-petaled blossoms. The 

 flowers, a clear Wedgwood blue with tiny yellowish eyes, are borne in profusion. Start early 

 for flowers the first season or sow in summer for blooms the following spring.

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is one of the 



most attractive and popular annual vines. You 



will find a description of it on page 55. (See 



Ipomoea.) 



NEMO PHI LA [hA-6 in.] This is a native wild 

 flower from the California woods, but it does 

 well under almost all conditions in other parts 

 of the country. It is quite spreading in 

 growth. The divided leaves of the Uttle plants 

 are bright green and hairy and are covered 

 with saucer-shaped blossoms about an inch 

 across. They are useful in low beds or as a 

 ground cover in patches. Seed should be 

 sown in the open ground where the plants are 

 to remain.
