And there are plenty '!f. . Of them, too, ready to meet winter face :'J to face and not to yield until he ac tually annihilates them with his Icy jf ' breath. Tet they are not very much In ;. :,'-. Tid.nce in the average garden, pos sibly because they are not ao well known as they deserve to be. 4 First on the llat. I think, I should t glaoe the Japanese wlndflower, or ane mone Anemone Japonlca In several . varieties. Their exquisite beauty would i.. ., aistlnguleh them at any season of the '. I year. They begin to blossom In August, - and are not therefore, strictly speaking, only fall bloomers, but summer and fall, , rhlch Is better yet They continue ' Until severe frosts cut them down. Their colors are extremely delicate and st clear, ranging rrom rosy red to urest white. Probably the best selec- lon would comprise Anemone Japonlca. J . variety aids, and Anemone japonlca, , Variety Queen Charlotte. The usual ; ' height of the plants is about two feet, j . They should always be massed, whether ' planted In a border by themselves or In front of shrubbery, Fifty of them ar pot too Bianr to plant togsthsr for the f best effect. If one can spare the room, ! - Setting them about a foot and a half apart. i ' Charming' Chrysanthemums. r The pompon chrysanthemums are next smaller flowers, with a charm t rather more solid than the delicate ' anemone. Their coloring, too, which is i mostly on the warm autumn tints, Is t less showy, and altogether they are - aubstantlal little fellows, which are about the last to succumb to the winter .' severity. A selection of about 16 va rieties will Include all the colors from pale lemon-yellow to brown and from ! soft pink to the deepest crimson, with I a few oddities and a pure white be- I aides. They need not be used In such ' numbers as the anemone, being of heavier habit The yellows and browns I combine well in a erouD. likewise th ! f; pinks and reds. j t Most of the hardy, or etarworts. I ij. bloom in September and October, while i i- the very latest of them all Aster , !.S rrandlfloruB blossoms in November. U and splendidly showy, these are I particularly valuable In the garden color scheme, as they supply blues and purples, as well as the intermediate rosy tints needed to harmonize and i blend these two colors. There are also ' Borne very brilliant white varieties, and 1 iney may oe selected In heights rang- j , ng irom me awarr or 10 or 12 Inches w uiv oiukoijr tutu uuiu iuur-iooier. Very like the flowers of the single aster are the blossoms of another fall flowering perennial, thn fnla mmnmiL Jfe botanically known as Boltonla. This I Is almost shrubby In Its growth, reach t ng a height of from four to seven feet feacn plant bears hundreds of flowers and even one specimen is extremely Showy. There is a pure white Bol tonlca aeteroldes and a pink with vel vet shades In it Boltonla latlsquama. Jne white seems to me the more at tractive. Its height and habit make It suitable for the backs of herbaceous borders or for filling In gaps in the puiuuuEiy masses. The quaint little helmets of some va rieties of monks-hood or wolf's-bane another kind of blue.
