THE ILLUSTRATIONS ON THIS PAGE 



E. A snapshot of a flower garden, grown from nur seeds, from far-awav Wilcox. Saskatchewan, 

 sent to us by Mrs. St. John. This shows a very charming arrangement for a small garden, 

 helped very much by the lattice work arches providing two entrances. All the lattice 

 work is covered by perennial climbers, including Aristolochia or Dutchman's Pipe, Clematis 

 and Lathyrus or Perennial Sweet Pea. The garden walks are made of old flag stones with 

 small rock garden plants growing between, such as Saxifraga, Ccraslium. Arabis, etc. The 

 bed in the center is Heliotrope surrounded bv Sweet Alvssurn. On the left is a group of 

 Lavatera. In the rear of the Sundial are two wire cylinders on which Sweet Peas are growing, 

 anew way of growing them Other plants arc Hollyhock. Petunia. Dianthus, and Hardy 

 Pinks. A very beautiful little flower garden. 



F. This well filled outdoor vase has in the center a plant of Pandanus with Balcony 

 Petunias, English Ivy, and Maurandia. (Sec list of Vase Plants on this page.) 

 O. Mower borders for a brick garden path. The white flower border next to the bricks 

 is .sweet Alyssum backed by different varieties of Zinnia. A very colorful and brilliant 

 arrangement. 

 H. Is a photo of a path and a doorway in a brick wall. Over the doorway climbs the famous 



rose Dr. Van Fleet, introduced by us. At the right is an 

 immense group of Tree Hydrangea, in front Digitalis 

 or Foxglove, four varieties of Sweet William, Campanulas, 

 Coreopsis, Stocks, Hemorocallis. Gaillardia. etc. There is 

 much the same display on the other side of the path. When 

 Perennial borders like this are planted, it is best to plant 

 r : plenty of Annuals between the plants the first year or two 

 f until the Perennials attain their normal size. 



1. Flowers that "bloom in the spring" have alwavs ap- 

 pealed to the imagination. But the eve of the suburban 

 dweller is seldom cheered by the sight of really early spring 

 flowers in gardens. Not that such displays are impossible, 

 for there is a wealth of gardening material available. 



There are bulbous flowers such as Snowdrops and Crocus 

 that appear almost before the snow has disappeared, and 

 "a host of golden Daffodils" that "come before the swallow 

 dares." 



F.arly spring flowering Tulips and Hyacinths and mauv 

 others are also available for the purpose, and all of them 

 must be planted in the Fall. We publish a preliminary list 

 of these bulbs in April each year, inviting our customers 

 to let us import their bulb order with ours at reduced prices. 

 We suggest to our customers that they lay down some 

 permanent beds as shown in the picture. Tulips ancT Hya- 

 cinths are in the back, also several clumps of Peonies, and 

 - Trimardcau Pansies (page 122) and Double Daisies or Bcllis 

 (page 102) in the front. 



The English or Common names of all the varieties mentioned on this page may be readily found by turning to Index on page 80.
