Bed of Alaska Daisies 
STRONG FIELD-GROWN PLANTS 
No flower garden is complete without 
a collection of these most valuable 
plants. With a little care they may be 
selected so as to give a continuous sup¬ 
ply of flowers from early spring to 
autumn frosts. They require far less 
care than the annuals of bedding plants, 
and may be used to good advantage to 
fill odd corners, along fences, and to 
screen unsightly objects. They are per¬ 
fectly hardy, and yet for winter they 
should have a slight covering of leaves 
or other litter. Care should also be 
taken to prevent pools of water stand¬ 
ing on them during winter. I will glad¬ 
ly make selections for those not familiar 
with hardy plants if they will inform 
me as to space to be filled.
