Plants for Carpet Bedding. Carpet bedding as a part ofdesign in landscape planting has a specific place and is used for a spe-cific purpose. This type of planting lends itself to extremely formalareas throughout parks and around architectural treatments. It isnot adapted in any way for use in connection with informal types ofAmerican landscapes either in park developments or in settings ofhomes. This is a field of work which gives the gardener an excellentopportunity to show his skill in the trimming of plants and the ar-rangement of plants to produce interesting pattern effects. There is noother group of plants from which specimens can be selected which willperform the same functions in the landscape picture as plants selectedfrom this group. The perennials are mostly propagated from cuttings,and the annual plants are grown each year from seeds. They areusually planted very closely—from three to six inches apart—so as tosecure an even colour effect and a complete blanket of foliage with well-defined lines of separation between the varieties. Few of these plantsare sold under their proper scientific names, but the common nameshere given will identify them. |
