Care should be taken to select the flowers which will bloom simul-taneously. Foliage plants should be used to provide an abundanceof green, and enough vines and flowers of a drooping habit should be in-troduced to counteract the stiffness of the box. When planting, pack the roots in firmly on account of the wind.For an unusually windy position it is best to use a deeper box. Inchoosing the plants, exposure is the first important consideration. (Seethe following lists.) For sunny positions the more vigorous growingand flowering plants are apt to do best, while in shade ferns andfoliage plants, generally speaking, are more successful. In a dustylocation smoother-leaved plants such as myrtle and ivy geraniumsshould be used. |
