Add color charm to your garden 
with Pansies, English Dazstes, 
Forget-me-nots Wid Violas i. 
PANSIES, Violas, Forget-me-nots and English Daisies are an indis- 
pensable part of every well-planned spring garden. They can be used 
in sunny or in shady locations in the rock-garden, in formal plantings, as 
edgings or as ground-covers. In fact, few groups of plants pay greater 
dividends in color. 
Almost every garden-maker thinks in terms of borders and edgings and 
these are always effective. Let us not forget that there are usually many 
bare spots in a spring garden because some perennials are slow im starting. 
We would like to suggest the use of broad masses of English Daisies and 
Forget-me-nots in the foreground of your perennial border. Wherever 
possible make the masses irregular. 
If you are especially color-conscious, select named varieties of Pansies. 
You can have delicate color effects that will combine well with your 
Narcissus and Tulips, early-flowerng perennials and spring-flowering 
shrubs. 
Forget-me-nots make delightful blue carpets in partially shaded areas. 
When English Daisies are interplanted, the large round blossoms look 
like so many jewels set in a rich-textured background. 
The effectiveness of color masses In your rock-garden ts dependent 
Jargely on the way in which you plant; avoid spotty effects which usually 
result from setting out plants in small groups. Think in terms of broad 
masses. 
For too long we have thought of these spring flowering plants primarily 
from the standpoint of formal beds. And yet, Pansies and Violas, English 
Daisies and Forget-me-nots are among the most informal plants in the 
spring garden. 
Think of your garden primarily as a place where you make an ever- 
changing series of pictures throughout the year. With this notion in mind, 
use your plants as the pigments for your color effects. This indeed is a 
great lesson from nature. 

PRE! TY nosegays or tussie-mussies, as Elizabethans called them, can be made 
by using the small-flowered English Daisies as a center, surrounded by Forget- 
me-nots. A ruff of lace paper or a doily completes the bouquet.
