Helenium Autumnale Superbum (See page 43) 
GERANIUM - Crane’s-bill 
Those offered are very interesting plants for growing on the margins of 
sunny borders or in the rock garden. 
Culture. Ordinary light or medium soil and a sunny position will suit 
these plants admirably. They should be grown in groups on the margins 
of borders or in the rockery. Plant in autumn or spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. Once established do not disturb, then they will grow and flower 
with great freedom, and produce a pretty effect the entire summer.

Lovely tender perennials. Their brilliant sunlike flowers are produced on 
leafless stems about 18 inches high all summer.

protected very carefully during winter in cold regions. They may also 
be potted up in fall and will continue blooming indoors. In temperate

GEUM - Avens 
They belong among the number one hardy garden flowers. Neat in habit, 
non-crowding, excellent foliage effect when not in bloom. Such virtues 
along with their charming flowers all help to make them popular. In the 
foreground of the hardy border they look their best. Fire Opal, Lady 
Stratheden, and Rijnstroom, all recently introduced, are excellent and 
quite hardy, although for very cold sections of the country we would 
suggest Potentillas be used in their place. They, as the Geums, are noted 
for their fine foliage and good habit when not in bloom. 
Culture. All succeed in good, ordinary soil in sunny borders. They, how- 
ever, require plenty of moisture in summer. Best grown in groups. Plant 
in autumn or spring, 6 to 8 inches apart. If planted in fall it is well to 
protect them carefully for the winter.

terpart of Mrs. Bradshaw. Also a splendid cut flower.
