THE AMATEUR’S FLOWER GARDEN.

November, pyramided bush chrysanthemums ; for December, 
ivies, conifers, ana berry-bearing shrubs, and so on to the 
spring bulbs again. In selecting subjects, and in the culti¬ 
vation of the plants, it must be always remembered that 
spreading concave-headed plants are of less value than com¬ 
paratively narrow, and in the case of zonal geraniums, “ long- 
legged ” plants, because of the rather close packing required 
to produce a rich effect. Thus the pyramid chrysanthemum 
figured on page 244, is far to be preferred to the dwarf, close- 
-trained, convex plant that would suit the parlour window. 
The tall, spare habit, and fresh appearance of well-grown 
seedling geraniums render them invaluable for plunging.
