Their dazzling colors have stopped many a car on the Washington-Baltimore 
Boulevard and drawn them in for a closer view—and this in July and August, too. 
People from all over the country come and proclaim that they have never seen the 
like in brilliant bright red, pink, purple, snow white, watermelon pink, etc. They usu- 
ally end up by taking home one or more plants to brighten up their own gardens during 
those hot months when it is more difficult to keep Perennials blooming. 
Why not try a few yourself? Plant them and you'll have a magnificent show.

retain their compact form, and in some cases bloom again the same season. 
Carnations Lavender

This trimming consists of cutting back longer shoots, and generally shaping 
up the plant. Asa rule, every branch cut sends out several new shoots, thus 
making a much more compact and satisfactory plant.
