5—' The Flower Border'
. F. W. Costin , N.D.H., F.R.H.S.
In May and June, when the summer flowers are approaching the height of their beauty, we have to consider and prepare our plans for the seasons that are to follow.
From now onward biennial flowering plants, which sown in one summer produce their blooms in the next, must be sown with discretion, for with these we have so to regulate the time that the plants will be ready-neither too leafy and soft, nor undergrown and weak -to plant out in late summer and stand the trial of winter.
Early summer, too, is the time to sow many of the perennial flowering plants ;
, these, established well before winter comes, will furnish the garden with flowers in many future seasons.
