Keep Color Coming 
Window boxes, borders and flower beds 
frequently need new or additional color. 
Keep pot grown blooms ready to place in 
position when the early flowers are spent. 
Grow the replacements in pots in an out- 
of-the-way space and keep them ready to 
move into position as soon as needed.

Annuals are the best source of cut 
flowers, so be sure this year, to include 
plenty of flowers for the house. 
Your cutting garden could include: 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), Arctotis 
grandis, Calendula (Pot Marigold), 
Sweet Sultan, Chrysanthemum, Clar- 
kia, Calliopsis, Cosmos, Larkspur, Di- 
anthus, Eschscholtzia, Gaillardia, Gyp- 
sophila, Sweet Pea, Lupine, Nicotiana, 
Nigella, Phlox Drummondi, Migno- 
nette, Zinnias, Marigolds both French 
and African. 
It is well too, to choose annuals for 
their fragrance as well as their beauty. 
Some of the scented annuals are: 
Sweet Alyssum, Snapdragon, Calen- 
dula, Sweet Sultan, Candytuft, Nico- 
tiana, Petunia, Mignonette and Sca- 
biosa. 
Just after the late tulips finish 
blooming, set out some annuals be- 
tween the tulip plants. If you do this, 
you may safely leave the tulip bulbs 
in the ground for several years, or at 
least until they need separating. Vines 
for quick cover are quite numerous. 
For brilliant color effects, plant cardi- 
nal climber or scarlet runner bean. 
Whatever your cutting garden con- 
tains, remember that frequent cutting 
increases the number of blooms and 
keeps them blooming over a longer 
period of time.

Selections for Special Places 
There are flowers for every conceivable 
situation. An example is a dry wall where 
plants that are naturally small and are 
slow growers are needed. For this position 
select plants that will hang gracefully and 
blend with the stone. Strive for the natural 
effect. Be sure to give them deep pockets 
and adequate drainage for their roots.
