Plate XXXVII. Not only because of the interesting colour of its fruitin combination with the fruit of other shrubs, but because of the size andabundance of its fruit, the snowberry is one of our conspicuous and valuableshrubs. (See page 162, group XX-B) Annuals, unlike perennials, can be started in many instances atdifferent periods during the season, in order to insure a succession ofbloom. There is a normal period required between the time of seed-ing and the time of blooming, and if this period is definitely known,then at intervals of not less than ten days or two weeks three or foursuccessive sowings may be made in the early and late spring so that acontinuous succession of bloom from these plants may be obtainedduring the summer months. Typical of these plants are the phlox,forget-me-not, and baby's breath. |
