The Practice and Science of Gardening-9
' The Cultivation of Flowers'
F. W. COSTIN , N.D.H., F.R.H.S.
This month, throughout April, and even in May, a wide range of hardy flowers may be sown in the open garden, from tiny white alyssum and coloured dwarf candytufts to summer chrysanthemums, lupins, and graceful annual larkspurs. The culture of some of these will be dealt with in the talk.
Some flowers, however, do not come true to colour and type from seed, and it is necessary to raise these by other means ; for instance, by cutting and layers. Plants needing such treatment, and the methods to be adopted in order to propagate them, will be described,'as will also some types of flowering plants specially suited to small spaces.
