THE SECOND 20 FEET, 
This half of the border was planned so that some perennials would be at their height in early Summer and again in the Fall, as can be noticed by comparing this picture with the one below. 
The background here is furnished by hybrid Delphinium in purple and blue and by tall yellow Thalictrum (Meadowrue). The white Liltes are Regals, tae orange ones are Umbellatum. Some of 
the other plants are Delphinium Belladonna, Bellamosa and the dwarf Chinensis. Along the edge we have the yellow Cnothera glauca Fraseri.

THE SECOND 20 FEET, BLOOMING IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 
This is the same half of the border as shown above. The Delphiniums which have been cut back before going to seed after the June blooming, are having a second blooming here in the Fall 
picture. The hardy Asters which are outstanding in this picture were only low clumps of foliage in June-July period. The varieties are: on the left is Red Rover, Mt. Everest is on the right. The 
pink Chrysanthemum on the left is the famous Amelia or Azaleamum. Along the edge are dwarf Asters and Plumbago; Artemesia, Silver King, can be scen between tall and dwarf Asters. 



Daylilies 
From Mr. H. M. Rus- 
sell of Spring, Texas, have 
come the Daylilies fea- 
tured here. They are the 
result of years of selection 
and hybridizing on his 
nine-acre farm, and they 
represent the cream of the 
crop. For every plant 
chosen, hundreds have 
been rejected becausethey 
did not meet Mr. Rus- 
sel’s rigid specifications. 

The natural-color 
photographs reproduced 
here show the rich bright 
colors of these Daylilies. 
Selections have been made 
on the basis of color, pro- 
fusion of bloom, Jasting 
quality, and plant habit. 
Of the easiest possible 
culture, these splendid, 
healthy plants promise to 
make this old-time flower 
even more popular, for 
they are the perfect an- 
swer for a number of 
planting problems.
