Poppy seed scattered broadcast in among the cosmos seedlings 
will give a most lovely effect in July, for the poppies will blossom while 
the cosmos are low and feathery, looking like a combination of poppies 
and ferns. 
Pale blue ageratum, combined with yellow or salmon pink zin- 
nias, is also very beautiful. There is nothing startlingly vivid about 
either of these combinations, but I send them for what they may be 
worth.

The following is a description of an annual border which was 
very satisfactory and in continuous bloom almost all summer: 
For the edging pink single Portulaca, just back of this sown to- 
gether were Sweet Alyssum and Godetia (Rosamond). Blue Ager- 
atum and the delicate white flower of Gypsophila came next (the latter 
was taken out after it had finished blooming). 
Back of this was used Phlox Drummondi in shades of primrose, 
white and pink, the primrose predominating. 
Towering above these came the delicate flowers of the Larkspur, 
light blue, pink, white and dark blue, mixed with the bolder and more 
conspicuous flowers of Lupinus in shades of rich blue, sky blue, rose 
and white. 
In the last row mixed together were the lavender blue of the 
Scabiosa (Azure Fairy) and the shrimp pink of the Lavatera with a 
few plants of Euphorbia Variegata.

The two following annuals are easily grown and effective: Eu- 
phorbia Heterophylla, or Mexican Fire Plant; Euphorbia Variegata, 
or Snow on the Mountain.

In Canada, where I grow only annuals, I found Schizanthus most 
successful in mass against a background of Bachelor's Buttons and 
Orange King Calendulas, with white Petunias in the foreground. 
Mrs. C. H. Conner. 
I recommend Schizanthus Grandiflorus Oculatus with Violet 
Queen Petunia (Farquhar) as a charming combination of lilac and 
purple.
