A Gardening 

 Suggestion

 gestions and Aid in Se- 

 lecting Flowers on pages

"Stately spires of Delphiniums 

 and nodding bells of Campan- 

 ulas" aptly describes the border 

 pictured here. Certainly it 

 would be hard to plant a border 

 of greater beauty and lasting 

 qualities. The rear row is made 

 entirely of Delphiniums in 

 shades of blue, lilac, purple, 

 white and pink. In front are 

 groups of Campanula in blue, 

 rose\ striped and white, inter- 

 spersed with Nicotiana, Crim- 

 son King. At the edge, a row 

 of Godetias, Achillea and Plum- 

 bago, altogether a happy com- 

 bination of Perennial and An- 

 nual flowers, and the cost, if 

 raised from seeds, is almost 

 negligible. We sell plants of 

 Delphinium. Campanula, Can- 

 dytuft. Achillea and Plumbago, 

 used with such good effect in 

 this border. (See page 161.)
