Gardening. HARDY FLOWERS 59 sum rubrum and album, is good; the Peonies will have finished flowering before the Lilies begin. Huge beds of Gennan Iris of one variety are shown by themselves, but since they are out of bloom before July 1st it is well to have some- thing to maintain the beauty. A few attractive shrubs are then useful. EspecieJly decorative are Viburnum Opulus or some of the Honeysuckles with their berries. Coreopsis lanceolata and a deep violet blue Delphinimn make an excellent contrast. Another yellow and blue combination is Speedwell (Veronica spicata) with Even- ing Primrose (OEnothera mis- souriensis). The slender spikes of the Speedwell contrast nicely with the large, brLUiant yellow flowers of the Evening Prim- rose. Probably no flower of the Autumn is so graceful and welcome as the lovely Japanese Ajiemone. ExceUent white and pink varieties are availeible. As they meike no effect till near August they are best com- bined with a tall, ornamental grass which wiU give a good back-groimd. The large group of perefi- nial Asters, or Michaelmas Daisies, should not be forgot- ten; they are the charm of the real late Fall garden. Planted at the rear of borders they make an excellent foliage back- ground for the earlier flowering plants. Especially" noteworthy is the Aster ptarmicoides, a very erect, strong-growing white species which blooms a trifle earlier than Some of the others. A truly beautiful light blue is the Beauty of Colwall and a good pink
