GAEDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 



Ten Weeks' Stock, white, pink, purple; June and 

 July. 



Zinnia, red, yellow, magenta ; July to November. 



EASILY GROWN PERENNIALS 



Both the perennials and the biennials following 

 should all blossom the first year if started in the 

 house in March :— 



Gaillardia, red, yellow. 

 Forget-me-not, lovely blue. 

 Larkspur, blue. 



Snapdragon, white, red, purple, yellow, pink. 

 Sweet William, white, pink, red, maroon, plain, 



varigated. 

 Coreopsis, yellow. 

 Cupid's Dart, blue. 

 Iceland Poppy, yellow, white, scarlet. 



Get as many as you can — and your space will 

 permit, — of all the lovely old perennials and the 

 bulbs that come up every season with little or no 

 care. One of the oldest, — ^now deserted — farm- 

 houses on Long Island, still carries in its dooryard 

 the impress of some gentle flower-lover long since 

 passed away, in its annual spring beauty of daffo- 

 dils and lilies-of-the-valley. And the few bulbs and 

 pips transplanted from there to my own garden, 

 have thrived and spread so profusely that I, too, 

 can pass them on to others.
