To the best method Of planting and trans

Probably the most popular usage is tc
grow entire beds of some particular color

Much more might be said about the
classification of flowers and their selections
TOT various purposes-such as are best
adapted for vases, for hanging baskets,
Tor foliage, for ribbon borders and beds.
and the class Of everlasting flowers and
grasses so desirable for winter bouquets,

mired for their freshness when summer
flowers have faded-but our space forbids.

which we are indebted for much that we
