GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 



late in the fall. They would be attractive in either 

 of the following simple designs: 



FLOWERS THAT WILL BLOOM FROM EARLY SUMMER 

 UNTIL FROST 



Candytuft for a border, with petunias in the 

 center, is another combination that should blossom 

 from June until frost. Poppies and cornflowers 

 would also last all summer if you would keep out 

 part of the seed and sow a couple of times at in- 

 tervals of several weeks. The combinations of red 

 and blue is very pretty, too. Sweet alyssum, with 

 red or pink geraniums, would be lovely all season. 

 For an all yellow bed, plant California poppies to 

 bloom early in the border, and African marigolds, 

 or Tom Thumb nasturtiums to bloom in the center 

 from July on late into the fall. With any of the 

 combinations suggested you could gather flowers 

 almost any time you pleased, for they are all pro- 

 fuse bloomers.
