House and Garden 
double bloom quite late. 1 bey are late 
in starting in the spring, and where one 
grows tlie biennial Canterbury bells, 
which die after blooming and are gone 
by midsummer, they may be planted in 
among the anemones, and pulled up 
when past their best. It is often a 
puzzle to find a place in which to place 
anv plant like the cup and saucer Can¬ 
terbury bells, which leaves a vacant 
space when through blooming, or the 
gorgeous Oriental poppy which loses 
its foliage after blooming. Planting 
them among the Japanese anemones 
helps solve this problem. 
Antheinis tnictoria, the yellow chamo¬ 
mile, will bloom from July to November. 
All of the hardy perennial asters are 
fall bloomers and selected forms ol the 
golden-rod are good companions. 
GaillarcUa granJiflora, blooms in sum¬ 
mer and keeps on until frost. Nearly 
all of the perennial sunflowers are 
autumn bloomers and some are well 
worth growing. 
The Liatrts pycnostachya, or blazing 
star, gay feather, with their long spikes 
of purple flowers, are imposing in a mass 
and the Lobelia cardtnalis, if it can be 
induced to remain with you long makes 
a fine show. 
All of the Rudbeckias bloom in the 
fall. Rudbecha triloba, a biennial that 
will seed itself should not be overlooked. 
Tricyrtis hirta nigra, the Japanese 
toad lily having a curious orchid like 
flower will be the last to bloom. 
Glen Brothers, Inc., Nurserymen, 
Rochester, N. Y., have issued a hand¬ 
some illustrated catalogue descriptive of 
the new sweet chestnut, “ The Sober 
Paragon,” originated by Mr. C. K. 
Sober, Lewisbtirg, Pa. It is an attrac¬ 
tive booklet, and is full of facts relative 
to the cultivation, the food value and 
the commercial value of this chestnut. 
Any one, with even a small place, can 
have chestnut trees and chestnuts. The 
catalogue is free for the asking. 
Hoya carnosa, known as the wax 
plant and honey plant, is too seldom 
seen in greenhouse collections. It is an 
interesting lawn plant, and when in 
flower is a good seller. It always inter¬ 
ests young gardeners to be told that the 
old flower heads are not to be cut off, as 
new flowers come from them the next 
season.— Florists’ Exchange.
