ers in June and is a picture with its white, 
violet and crimson blossoms. No old-fashioned 
border is complete without their cheerful, 
sweet-smelling and showy flowers. 18 to 24 in. 
Newport Pink. These are similar to the Sweet 
William save in color. All are light salmon- 
pink.

to 3 ft. Blue. 
Vinca 
Vinca minor. Periwinkle; Trailing Myrtle. An

bloom in early spring and are a delightful

Shasta Daisies 
Alaska. A very fine type with large, glistening 
white flowers. May, June. 
Early Shasta. This is the hardiest of the lot 
and once established will become perma¬ 
nent. The flowers are small and not unlike

stems. Will keep a week or longer as cut- 
flowers.

formed, white flowers that bloom over a 
very long period. Preferred by many.
