: ‘HE sixty-three colors of the ac-
companying chart have been ac-
curately compared with the colors of
growing flowers. Although blossoms,
even on the same plant, will vary
somewhat in shade, the author hopes
that the care with which this chart
has been prepared may prove of gen-
uine service to all who plan their gar-
dens with the aid of this book.
As will be noticed, each color
block is supplied with a number as
well as a name. A corresponding color
number will be found opposite every
description of a plant throughout the
volume.

PREFACE
O Perpetui Fiori del Eterna Letizia
T is prudent perhaps for many of us to have our pleasure gardens
shaped for us by an expert wiser than we may hope to be. A trained
eye, long study of old forms, and that knowledge which is born only of
experience, make possible a beauty of outline and insure a perfection of
detail in a project which in the minds of most of us is a desire rather than
a definite conception. Yet he who truly loves his garden will not relin-
quish altogether the happy task of creating it. For him it is the centre of
bright imaginings. He dreams of it asleep and awake, until from among
the multitude of his thoughts there flashes some happy vision finished in
all things, like the completed picture which the painter sees on the white
canvas before him. Quickly before it fades he rushes to his task. But
to the amateur, garden catalogues are often a snare and most books a de-
lusion. Search as he may, these helpers serve him little, and as he struggles
to tind the appropriate flowers with which to paint his picture, the gay
vision fades and confusion and discouragement ensue.
It is for this gardener that I have made this book and offer it as a full
palette, to enable him the more readily to paint the picture as he sees it,
and save him the discouragement of looking in a thousand places for a
thousand bits of information. However small a part of the garden it may
be that he himself plans, he will look upon that portion with a kindlier
eye, and find more in it to love and enjoy than all the rest of the garden
has to offer.
With this book I wish my gardener joy of his experiments, and if he
fails to make his garden altogether as he has imagined it, may he have a fancy
quick to suggest new visions; for in the possibilities of change lies the im-
perishable charm of gardens. Forever through past experience shine the
bright alluring pictures of the future.

PREFACE
The plan of this book is simple. The plants are arranged in the order
of the months in which they bloom, while for the reader’s convenience 4
plant which flowers in more months than one is listed afresh in each appro-
priate month, though the full description of its habit and the directions
for its culture are given only where it makes its first appearance.
In the great majority of cases, the dates of bloom are taken from
personal observations in the vicinity of Boston. The season about New
York is, generally speaking, about ten days earlier. A rough and ready
calculation allows six days’ difference to every degree of latitude.
Yet in this matter of the date of bloom the reader must understand
that nothing like exactness is possible. All that can be claimed is the
representation of a fair average. The season of bloom is very irregular,
often varying as much as a fortnight in the spring. But though early
dates may vary, by June first all irregularities seem to disappear, and the
reader can be confident that whatever are the dates of bloom, the succession
of bloom remains invariable.
As the plants are divided according to the months in which they first
bloom, so they are subdivided according to color. In each month’s list of
blooming plants there are nine color groups, including “ parti-colored,” i.e.,
those plants in which each blossom is variegated, and “ various,” i.e., those
in which the color of the blossoms vary.
Since color is the chief glory of a garden, much stress has been laid
upon it throughout the preparation of the book. Almost every flower
mentioned has been accurately compared with the appended color chart,
and in the column devoted to that purpose it bears its appropriate color
number, while above this in quotation marks is the color ascribed to it by
some reliable authority.
The reader must remember, however, that with matters of color it is
much as with matters of taste. One may call the wood violet purple and
another insist that it is blue, while red fades so insensibly into pink, and
yellow blends so imperceptibly into orange, that he is an artist indeed who
can define tne precise point where one becomes the other. It must also
be borne in mind that the same flower may vary in color in different
localities and the same plant may put forth blossoms of varying shades,
And yet, though you may quarrel with the division lines, they are just in
the main and are not further wrong than others might well be.
A word or two is needed concerning the comprehensiveness of this
vill
PREFACE
book. Annuals have not been included, as their dates depend altogether
upon the time when their seed is sown. Of biennials but few are mentioned;
but of hardy perennials it can fairly be said that all are included which de-
serve a place in the garden proper, in the rock or wild garden, or which are
worthy of naturalizations and of tender perennials a few that should find a
place in every garden have been added. Large estates as well as small gar-
dens are increasing so rapidly throughout the country and so many new
and unfamiliar plants have come to enlarge the gardener’s choice, that it
has seemed best to make this book offer all which the most varied taste
could wish for beautifving a great estate; but it is selection rather than
variety which the small gardener needs, and for his sake such plants as are
especially serviceable or exceptionally to be desired are marked with a
single or double asterisk.
The details of this book have been almost infinite in number, and my
best thanks are due to all who have helped me: To Mr. Robert Cameron,
of the Harvard Botanical Gardens, for revision of all facts mentioned in
the book and for much valuable assistance; to Prof. Benjamin Watson, of
Harvard, for advice and encouragement; to Mr. L. T. Ernst for observing
many of the dates of flowering; to Miss Louisa B. Stevens and Miss Turner
for the preparation of the color chart and, with the assistance of Miss Edith
May, for the skilful comparison of colors; to Miss Rose Standish Nichols,
who has conducted the book through the press; to Messrs. John L.
Gardner, J. S. Lee and J. Woodward Manning for many admirable photo.
graphs which I should have gone far to secure elsewhere; and to Miss
Elizabeth Dean for much devoted work. ‘To all of these I feel greatly in-
debted for their real interest and assistance, and in a special sense I wish to
record the gratitude with which I shal! always remember the unselfish and
unremitting assistance and encouragement given me by Miss Pauline
Brigham.
For the rest I only hope that this book may help to make more gardens
lovely and more gardeners content.
