The various beds were filled as follows : Two beds of Cannas, of the varieties President Meyer, Jean Tissot and Rubin. These beds were exceedingly showy, and were considered as fine as any exhibited. See page 132. Two beds of Qeraniums, variety vS. A. Nutt. This glorious crimson scarlet was a complete success, being a mass of bloom from the tiine it wts planted until hard fTost. See page 147. Two beds of StOkesia Cyanea {Comflo-wer Aster). This is a hardy American plant which we have done much to popu- larize. These beds showed how valuable a bedding plant it is, its clear, violet-blue color being very attractive. See pnges 19 and 197. Two beds of Salvia Splendens, "; This, as was expected, made a brilliant effect all ihrough the late summer and autumn. See pages 98 and 1"25. One bed of Lantana Craigi. The bright orange-scarlet of this displayed the capabilities of this new dwarf, compact form of Lantanas for bedding purposes. See page 151. ... One bed of Dianthus, Napolaan III. While this did not prove especially fine in the trying climate of St. Louis, yet even there it made a very creditable show-. ing. See page 109. One bed of Tritoma PfitzerJ {Everbloomiitg Red-Hot Poker). This did wonderfully well, and remained an at- tractive feature right up until hard frost. See page 199. Two beds of Hardy Phloxes. These were formed of blocks of the fol- lowing distinct varieties, which we con- sider a much better plan of planting than a mixture of a large number of sorts: F. G. Von Lassburg, Von Hochb;ig, Pantheon, Eclaireur, iMatador and Brides- maid. See piges 114 and 192.
