In evergreens, the Rosebay Rhododendron, Abelia, and the 
popular Scotch Heather are in full flower. 
Summer leaders in hardy perennials are: Phlox in a great 
many beautiful colors; Lemon Lilies, Balloonflower, several fine 
Lilies, Astilbe, Shasta Daisy, Globe Thistle, Japanese Iris, Gay- 
feather, Stokesia, Veronica, and Mallows. 
All the annual flowers are of course at their best all summer 
long, and through to frost. 
FOR BRILLIANT FALL COLOR 
Many fine hardy plants provide a rich bonus in brilliance of 
autumn foliage, and often of gaily colored fruits. 
Among the trees, Maples and Oaks, Beeches, Birches, and 
Dogwoods wear gay autumn clothing. 
For brightest foliage in the shrubs, the Winged Euonymus 
(Corkbark or Burningbush) in flaming cerise leads all others. 
Clethra, Sweetshrub, Mock Orange and Rugosa Roses sport the 
Maples with Their Autumn Garb of Scarlet and Gold
